Chapter 10

After being hit by the world's will in the "Journey to the East" universe, Li She's martial arts skills have now fallen to the level of a second-rate expert. His internal meridians are cracked in many places, and his true qi is in chaos. If it weren't for the transformation by the barriers of countless worlds, which strengthened his body, and the unique healing effects of the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" and the "Bone Washing Sutra," Li She's injuries would not have been gradually brought under control.

Li She, with his optimistic personality, didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he had obtained a body full of internal energy and exquisite martial arts, which made him unique in this era of declining martial arts.

Sitting cross-legged, Li She slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and felt the internal energy in his body, which was no longer as chaotic. The voice of the artifact spirit appeared in Li She's mind again, "Kid, you did pretty well in the 'Journey to the East' universe. You've unlocked one of the forty-nine restrictions of the Divine Steal Order. Check it out yourself."

"Oh? Really?" Li She asked, closing his eyes to examine the new information in his mind.

A wave of information filled Li She's mind: the conversion ratio for low-grade energy sources like coal, wood, and oil is 1 ton to 1 energy point. The conversion ratio for high-grade energy sources like electricity and nuclear power is 1000 to 1.

The starting energy for low-grade worlds in the countless universes is 1000 points, and for high-grade worlds, it doubles.

The time ratio between low-grade worlds and the real world is 100 to 1, and for high-grade worlds, it is 10 to 1.

The various pieces of information made Li She's head spin. Just the energy conversion ratios alone made him feel frustrated. He thought he was a hidden millionaire, but after seeing the energy conversion ratios, he immediately felt poor. Looking at the eight-digit deposit in his Swiss bank account, he was speechless. It takes a thousand tons of coal to get a thousand energy points. At five thousand yuan per ton, that's five million yuan. And where would he get so much coal?

What could be more thrilling than stealing something more exciting than luck? For a master thief like Li She, the countless worlds are like a deadly poison, making him unable to stop.

Just as Li She was lamenting the lack of money, the WeChat avatar of the God of Wealth started shaking frantically. Li She opened it and saw that the other party had left many messages.

"Water Lady, there's a business opportunity. Do you want to take it?"

"Where have you been?"

"Damn, if you're dead, burn some paper for you."

"If you're dead, give me a dream! I'll burn some paper for you."

Li She smiled and replied, "God of Wealth, what's up? Why are you so eager to find me?"

The gray avatar of the God of Wealth immediately regained its color, and the other party typed, "I thought you had been dismembered by someone. Where have you been for so long?"

"Spit it out!" Li She typed.

"Hehe, there's something, and it's a good thing. A rich guy is offering fifty million dollars to buy something. Interested?" the God of Wealth typed.

Li She thought about it. This price, not just in China, but even internationally, is a big deal. After working with the God of Wealth for so long, Li She still didn't know if the other party was male, female, or an organization. The God of Wealth didn't just deal with stolen goods; they handled almost everything, from helping elementary school students with their summer homework to solving problems for money, catching adulterers, and even providing weapons for a price.

The God of Wealth had introduced clients to Li She before, but the largest amount was usually a few million. This fifty million was the first time. So Li She was extra cautious.

"Is it that easy? Can you tell me more?" Li She typed.

"You know, if you don't take the job, I can't leak the client's information. What I can tell you is that four people have already failed. It's quite challenging!" the God of Wealth vaguely replied.

Li She knew from the God of Wealth's words that this money wouldn't be easy to earn. But he needed to get money quickly to charge the Divine Steal Order. With his current skills as a second-rate expert from the "Journey to the East" universe, Li She typed, "Damn, you have principles? So challenging? You've piqued my interest. Tell me more, I'll take it."

"Haha, I knew you were a real man, Water Lady. You're truly dominant. I'll send the information to your email. The usual rule, one layer of commission, and other information fees are separate," the God of Wealth quickly typed.

"Vampire, you're still so greedy! Who failed?" Li She typed.

"Sure, I can answer this for free. Little Soldier, Old Cat, Three Hands, and Four Legs all failed. It's said that Little Soldier retired, Old Cat is probably dead, having lost eight and a half of his nine lives. Even if he's not dead, he's crippled. Three Hands seems to have lost a hand, and Four Legs can no longer crawl," the God of Wealth typed.

Li She, seeing the other party's words, felt that this money wouldn't be easy to earn. Little Soldier, Old Cat, Three Hands, and Four Legs were all famous experts in the industry. He was their junior. Old Cat, in particular, was from the same era as his master. Although he was the current successor of the Divine Steal School, in this rapidly developing technological society, the only difference between a thief and a killer was that one stole without killing, while the other stole and killed. Both were secret operations, so the line between them was increasingly blurred.

His master had said that Old Cat never showed his true face, and no one knew if he was male or female. This guy took on any job, from lock-picking to murder and arson, as long as the price was right. He was the most unprincipled of them all.

Little Soldier was even more formidable, a pure hard man, originally a war hero who left the special forces after an incident. He first worked as a mercenary in Afghanistan and later switched to stealing without killing. As a war hero, Little Soldier was skilled, and even a few SEALs or Rangers were no match for him.

Three Hands and Four Legs were sisters. It was said that there was no lock Three Hands couldn't open and no place Four Legs couldn't infiltrate. The two sisters were also top-notch hackers, shining in the hacker wars of their time. Despite being women, they were not to be underestimated.

Even these four top figures in the industry had failed this task. This money wouldn't be easy to earn. But for Li She, who was extremely short of money, compared to the fatal allure of the countless worlds, this danger was nothing.

Li She opened his email and checked the information sent by the God of Wealth.

A blurry picture and some detailed information. 'Unnamed Seal' Li She examined it closely. The material was almost transparent, looking like it was carved from glass jade. After years of experience and learning from his master about various ancient artifacts, he had never seen a seal carved from glass jade. It was a square, dictionary-sized object, with a dragon carved on top. Inside the seal, a red liquid flowed, making the dragon look alive.

Below was the introduction to the seal. The Unnamed Seal was from an unknown dynasty, completely transparent. In winter, it could emit intense heat, melting steel, and in summer, it emitted a cold chill, freezing water. When the seal was inverted, the red liquid would flow into the dragon, emitting a bright red light.

Originally, Li She had taken the job for the fifty million dollars, but after reading this information, he became even more interested. He had seen many strange antiques over the years, including night pearls and night cups, but a seal like this was a first.

The location of the seal made Li She's head spin. No wonder even Old Cat, Little Soldier, Three Hands, and Four Legs had failed. The seal was hidden in the Liu family in the capital.

For ordinary people, this might not be clear, but for someone in Li She's line of work, he knew what he could steal and what he couldn't touch. Now that he had taken the job, there was no turning back. In this line of work, there was an unwritten rule: once a job was taken, it couldn't be canceled unless it failed. A bad reputation would mean no more jobs in the future.

The Liu family was a family of loyal heroes. The old patriarch was one of the few remaining founding generals. In an era where all marshals had passed away, he was the oldest and the only one still alive. His three sons died in the war-torn years of the Anti-Japanese War. Now, the Liu family was led by the descendants of his eldest son, making them the old patriarch's grandchildren.

The eldest son, Liu Weiguo, was a high-ranking official at the ministerial level and held positions in the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, often appearing in the news.

The second son, Liu Baoguo, was a major general in the military. At fifty, he had the potential to become a marshal. After all, a major general could serve until seventy, while a marshal was a lifelong position.

The youngest was a strong woman, Liu Meimei, who built the Liu Group, a world-renowned company, through her connections. Her business spanned various industries, making her a powerful figure in the business world.

Such a family was the elite of modern society, the privileged among the privileged. But there was no turning back now. Li She could only tough it out.

Li She opened the God of Wealth's avatar and typed, "Damn, where are the other details?"

"Hehe, you know!" the God of Wealth replied.

"Shrewd businessman, deduct the money from the commission," Li She typed helplessly. The task information and target-related information were separate. The task information was basic information provided by the client, while the target-related information and intelligence were charged separately.

Soon, Li She received a compressed file. The God of Wealth's efficiency was indeed impressive, with all the information about the Liu family, from the oldest to the youngest, complete.

"Damn, truly the elite of the elite, the privileged of the privileged. They even hired such experts. No wonder Old Cat, Little Soldier, Three Hands, and Four Legs failed. Hehe, if it were before, I might not have survived taking this job, but now, hehe," Li She muttered as he read through the information.
