My hands are empty

"Wang Cai?" Jiang Han exclaimed in surprise.

"What a good name for this dog!"

Is the unknown rank Wang Cai an official sense of humor?

"Don't be fooled by its ordinary name. This dog, as mentioned in its introduction, is a magical creature that brings luck," Sheryl explained with a smile. "It seems to naturally possess an amazing sense of smell for treasures, able to find many treasures hidden and buried in the Tianheng Continent that have not yet been discovered."

"So, you mean... it has strong treasure-hunting abilities?" Jiang Han asked.

"More or less," Sheryl nodded. "Many Divine-level powerhouses have tried to catch it and make it search for treasures for them, but none have succeeded. This dog is incredibly fast, even challenging the speed of the famous Demon Wind Eralf. It's hard to catch up with it."

As Sheryl spoke, he urged the Pegasus to descend, lowered his aura, and approached Wang Cai.

"Mentor, do you want to... loot?" Jiang Han looked at the golden dog cub on the ground, still continuously digging and understood Sheryl's intention.

Just now, Sheryl mentioned that even Divine-level powerhouses couldn't catch Wang Cai with its incredible speed. So, the only plausible answer is that Wang Cai is currently digging for treasures.

"Yes," Sheryl narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Catching it is impossible, but Wang Cai has weak attack power. It's only fast with high defense. It should be easy to snatch away the treasures it's digging for. Be careful, don't get too close. This dog steals things; even Divine-level powerhouses can have their treasures stolen if they're not careful."

Jiang Han: "..."

It steals things too?

Is this little dog a thief?

"Tat tat!"

The Pegasus gently landed, and Sheryl dismounted, quietly taking out a pitch-black sword. Then, he boldly charged towards Wang Cai.

"Woof woof!"

Wang Cai was very alert, sensing an intruder and decisively stopping its digging, turning to bark at Sheryl.

Sheryl naturally ignored it and swung his sword.

"Swoosh!"

Just as Sheryl described, Wang Cai's speed was astonishing. At the moment the sword fell, it instantly turned into a golden streak of light, almost invisible to the naked eye.

MISS!

However, it didn't choose to leave. Jiang Han, who was observing not far away, felt a slight weight on his shoulder. Wang Cai was now standing there, showing hostility to Sheryl with a snarl: "Woof woof woof..."

Huh?

This close to me?

Could it be that the system noticed I haven't had a pet for a long time and deliberately chose one for me?

Thinking of this, Jiang Han decisively took out a pet capturing stone and threw it towards Wang Cai.

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Capture failed!

Seemingly understanding Jiang Han's intentions, Wang Cai gave him a sidelong glance, spat on the ground to the side, and looked disdainful.

"You dare to look down on me, a mere dog?" Jiang Han sighed.

Fortunately, as an outstanding young man who values civilization and promotes new trends, he is not interested in competing with this dog in the same category.

Wait a minute!

Why is it getting close to me?

Jiang Han remembered Sheryl's warning.

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Please note that Wang Cai has used the SS-level skill [Sleight of Hand], successfully stealing the S-grade item [Azure Water Fish] from your package, and you have discovered it!

Suddenly, an unexpected system alert made the civilized youth's body shudder, blood boiling, and anger surging.

Steal my fish?

You dog, I'll beat the crap out of you!

Jiang Han glanced at his package and found that several capture stones were stolen by Wang Cai. Fortunately, he had prepared hundreds of them for capturing pets, or other items might not have been spared.

Just as he was about to quickly throw Wang Cai out, Jiang Han's raised hand paused.

Wait a minute!

As a moral role model, how can I, Jiang, let this dog take advantage of me?

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: You have learned the skill [Sleight of Hand] (Secondary) (S-grade) through plundering!

[Sleight of Hand] (Secondary) (S-grade)

Introduction: A magical skill exclusive to the unknown-rank magical creature Wang Cai. Its exquisite thieving ability outshines any thief. Although you have learned this skill through plunder, its power is still slightly inferior.

Effect: Silently steal items from the opponent's package, with a small probability of being discovered by the opponent.

Cooldown: Three seconds

(Note: The more valuable the stolen item, the higher the chance of being discovered. The less focused the opponent's attention, the smaller the chance of discovery, ranging from 5% to 80%)

A three-second cooldown!

Jiang Han took a deep breath. What an amazing stealing skill.

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: You have used the skill [Sleight of Hand] (Secondary) and successfully stolen the S-grade skill book [Dawn Blessing] from Wang Cai's package!

S-grade skill book!

Seeing this, Jiang Han's anger gradually subsided.

Trading a fish for an S-grade skill book can't be considered a big loss, and with a three-second cooldown, he can try again.

You like stealing, huh?

Good!

Today, I, the Master Thief Jiang Han, armed with hundreds of pet capturing stones and mount capturing stones, will have a decisive battle with you in the field of theft!

"Not good!" Sheryl dug out the treasure, collected it, and then decisively rushed towards Jiang Han. "Quick, get away from it. It has its eyes on the treasures in your package!"

"Stop!" Jiang Han quickly stopped and scolded, "Mentor, how can you bear to attack such a cute dog?"

Sheryl: "..."

Cute?

Do you know that it can empty your pockets?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Han, while watching the pet capturing stones continuously disappear from his package, reached out his left hand to stroke Wang Cai standing on his right shoulder: "This is a good dog. Maybe it will become my right-hand man in the future!"

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: You have used the skill [Sleight of Hand] (Secondary) and successfully stolen the S-grade item [Pet Advancement Stone] from Wang Cai's package!

Another pet advancement stone!

Now I have two. Even if I capture a Dark Gold-level pet, I have a chance to advance it to the Earth rank.

The corners of Jiang Han's mouth twitched, wanting to smile.

Hold it in!

How can I laugh at a critical moment!

"Are you crazy?" Sheryl sighed with a helpless expression. "No one can catch Wang Cai, not even Divine-level powerhouses!"

"Everything is about probability. If I miss this opportunity, I will regret it," Jiang Han shook his head, resolutely took out a pet capturing stone, and threw it towards Wang Cai. The stone cracked, falling to the ground.

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Capture failed!

Won't it notice?

Jiang Han's heartbeat accelerated, feeling a

 bit nervous.

His assumed target is Wang Cai itself, so using a pet capturing stone is reasonable. However, using a capturing stone means he opened the package, and there is a chance that Wang Cai might notice something unusual.

"Ha~~~Ha~~~"

Wang Cai stuck out its tongue, wagged its tail, and made a cute look as it observed Jiang Han.

Seeing this, Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Undoubtedly, this silly dog's attention is entirely on the treasures in his package, completely ignoring his disguise.

As for which item it is, there is no need to say much. It's probably the Fragment of the Moon with a high probability.

"I..." Sheryl's face darkened. He was momentarily speechless, unsure how to persuade his disciple who is usually exceptionally intelligent but suddenly acting foolish.
