After a few minutes of learning how to wield the thread, Shi Hu left his room. He placed the sword on his back and let the thread float about inside of his clothes to hide it, he also had the ring on aswell.
Once he left his room, he saw all of his underlings working hard to expand the base. It hasn't been all that long but it's much bigger now, about twice the room of an apartment in the modern world.
"Everyone, I think it's time for another raid!" Shi Hu was confident in raiding a third-rate sect near them, the Blossoming Flower sect.
It was a a sect with only women and practiced seduction arts, and only a little portion of them could fight.
One of the bandits wiped his sweat off and asked, "Are we going right now? It's kind of late."
'What kind of dumb bandits are these guys? Clearly going at night would be better. This past body sure was an idiot..' Shi Hu thought to himself.
"If we strike at night, most of them will be clueless." Shi Hu replied.
"But Boss Hu, couldn't they just detect our presence?" Said one of the other bandits.
'Oh yeah..I forgot about that' Shi Hu thought about it.
"Most of them will be tired so it'll be easier." Shi Hu answered.
The bandits unanimously agreed and got ready for battle, some of them took a small rest since they had worked so hard.
[You have gained respect from 354 bandits]
[+45 strength]
Shi Hu looked at the system notification and thought, 'it works like this too? How much does 1 point change my strength?'
At Shi Hu's current level, his strength should be enough to Cleave a city block into 2 horizontally.
A martial artist could usually tell their strength naturally, but Shi Hu could see a difference in power at all.
'Strange, it doesn't seem to change anything. I guess I'll need to figure it out alone the way.'
Shi Hu cleared his throat and grabbed everyone's attention, "We are departing, let's go."
In an instant, hundreds of people practically flew out of the hideout while following Shi Hu, it looked like a flock of birds but much bigger.
In just an hour, they had reached the blossoming flower sect. It was fairly large and was a little bigger than their hideout.
"Boss why don't we just move our hideout to this place, it's in a good area and there's many trading routes nearby we could use." One of the smarter bandits suggested.
Shi Hu looked over the area and agreed, "Alright, expanding that damn cave would be too much work for us. Let's do it."
Shi Hu gave the signal and they descended upon the sect like eagles looking for prey. The blossoming flower sect stood no chance.
As the chaos unfolded, the sect leader herself came out to deal with them, but was met with strong resistance from Shi Hu.
"Your a pretty lady, why don't you be my concubine?" Shi Hu jokingly asked as he clashed with her sword.
"Go to hell, bastard!" She replied angrily. Her sword getting slower by the minute.
Shi Hu decided to stop playing around, at a speed faster than the eye, she was wrapped up in thread, unable to move.
"I'm getting tired, so I'll finish fast." Shi Hu grabbed his sword tightly and prepared to kill her.
"WAIT ILL GIVE YO–" Before she could finish her sentence, her head dropped to the ground.
"How sad. Guys! Get to cleaning!" Shi Hu looked behind him and yelled for everyone to finish up.
...
"Not bad, huh? The sect is pretty nice and it smells great too, these girls were quite hygenic" One of the bandits said.
One of the other bandits agreed, "True. I only regret not saving one as a servant"
A few more conversed as they did their work. On the other hand, Shi Hu was remodeling the sect master's quarters to look like his room from his past life.
It was too bad he didn't have any of his decorations, that would've been nice. He especially regretted not learning how to make electricity and things like that, it would have been useful.
He decided to sleep for night so he went outside and gave the message to everyone to go to sleep, they'd work tomorrow.
...
The sun rose in the morning and all the bandits looked anew, like they had the best sleep of their lives.
Shi Hu looked at everyone from above on and started his little speech, "Attention everyone! Today we will be longer be a bandit group!"
A sudden wave of confused and shocked whispers came from the bandits who are no longer bandits.
"We will now be a bandit sect! The same of pur sect will be the Evil Bandit Sect!" Shi Hu proudly yelled to everyone.
"WOOO!!!"
"YEAHHH!!!"
The bandits below cheered, they finally had a nice home and now they were even a part of a sect.
"I will now leave to get us supplies, I hope everyone can do good in their bandit activities and bring in some taels so we can buy things!"
Later that day a feast was held in honor of everything that's happened, the bandits realized something was off with their leader, but it wasn't a bad feeling at all.
