CHAPTER 16

Su Han originally wanted to go to a secluded corner to give her stalkers a chance, but a drunk man appeared in front of her and bumped into her hard.

The drunkard dropped to the ground, eyes blank. He looks like he can't figure out what's going on. Su Han's expression immediately became solemn, "Stop pretending, hand over what you've stolen."

The supplies in the portable warehouse were intact, but her backpack suddenly became lighter. There was a problem with this guy in front of her.

The drunkard acted like he didn't hear Su Han's words and continued acting stupid.

"Do you believe me if I say I'll throw you into the river to sober you up?" Su Han looked indifferent.

The drunk man: "…."

'Mother! She looks like a gentle and delicate girl, why is she so cruel when she speaks?' His eyes instantly regained clarity, and he asked helplessly, "How did you find out?"

"My backpack is much lighter. You must have stolen my steel beads." Su Han said calmly, "If you took something else, I might not be able to detect it."

The drunkard, full of grief and anger, cursed his damn luck! He took out an opened bag of steel beads from under his jacket and threw it back to the owner, "Here."

Su Han asked the drunkard curiously, "Aren't you afraid I'm going to beat you up?" 'This guy was caught stealing, but he looked like he didn't care at all.'

The drunkard snorted, "How exhausting is it to beat people up? It's already difficult enough to find food, don't waste your energy." He's got nothing to lose anyway. Of course, he didn't care about the consequences.

Su Han weighed the bag in her hand and asked abruptly, "Are you a player?". 'This stealing technique was too mysterious; it might be a skill.'

The drunkard paused, raised his head, and asked seriously, "Is there anything to drink?"

"What?" Su Han was puzzled.

"If you have a drink, I'm a player and I can chat with you. If you have nothing to drink, you can go away now." The drunkard said lazily.

Su Han thought, 'Isn't this admitting that he is a player? He's saying, 'If she can't give him something to drink, he doesn't plan to talk to her.'

After thinking about it, she took out a milk bottle and shook it in front of the drunkard. "If your answer is satisfactory, this bottle of milk is yours."

The drunkard's eyes lit up. He was ecstatic, "I didn't expect your days to be this good!" She can take out this bottle of milk casually, and it's obvious she didn't have to worry about not having enough food.

"Shut up." Su Han was worried there would be NPCs following them. She deliberately lowered her voice and spoke in a rush. "Let's find a convenient place to talk first, follow me."

The drunkard looked at her with disapproval. But he coveted that bottle of milk so much, so he had no choice but to follow Su Han.

After finally throwing away the guys following behind her, turning left and right, Su Han looked at the drunkard carefully. With messy hair, flushed cheeks, and swollen eyes, it seems he's not faking his drunkenness. It looks like things aren't going so well for him. "Okay, tell me what you know."

The drunkard stretched out his hand and demanded, "Pay the bill first."

Su Han threw the milk over. She then took out another bottle and said casually, "This bottle is also yours if you answer nicely."

The drunkard's face turned red, obviously very excited. He said what he knew without hiding anything right away, "My name is Wei Minzhe, occupation: "Thief," as long as I touch someone, there is a 30% chance of stealing something from them."

"Were you worried about the NPCs overhearing us just now? You don't have to worry about that, I've tested them. After saying the word 'player', the system will automatically block the rest of the conversation for us. Even if we talk loudly about the game content, the NPCs will only think we are talking nonsense."

"I have the skill to steal something by touching someone. Doesn't it sound very incredible? But the NPCs I stole from act like it's something very normal, I think the developers should have specifically programmed the NPCs to rationalize such actions."

'I see.' Su Han showed a thoughtful look. She glanced at the drunkard, wondering out loud, "Why are you so poor?"

Even if he exchanged all 100 points for food and daily necessities in the system mall, he still shouldn't be this miserable.

"Don't mention it." Wei Minzhe complained bitterly, "The system dug a huge pit for me!"

"After looking at the attributes, do you think you can live forever as long as you stock up on food for satiety and daily necessities for cleanliness?" Wei Minzhe continued with a frown. "It sounds like it doesn't matter what you eat or what you use to as long as they refill your attributes right?"

"Since it's like that, it's not worth it to stock up on mineral water, so why not exchange other materials instead." (T/N: Both water and buttered bread both cost two system points, but water +10 satiety whereas buttered bread +25 satiety.)

He let out a sarcastic laugh and then said with a sullen face, "If those were your thoughts, you're also not be far from falling into the pit."

Su Han asked expressionlessly, "What do you mean?"
