Are You Crazy? You're Telling Me This Is a Fugitive TV Show?-Chapter 16 Unseen and Unheard, He Begins

Buttery Flower Picking Technique from Empty-Hand Sect, Retrieve Objects in Mid-Air Technique from the Tweezers Sect, and Shadowless Knife from Small Knife Association, with these techniques he became a thief from the three sects.

The Empty-Hand Sect relied mainly on ones hands, the Tweezers Sect techniques used a pair of tweezers, whereas the Small Knife Association depended on a scalpel or a razor blade.

Among them, the Empty-Hand Sect tested a thiefs timing and alertness toward their target. The Tweezers Sect technique evaluated the selection of a target, with those displaying higher levels of vigilance often not being chosen. Meanwhile, the Small Knife Association techniques were the most challenging, requiring a deft hand with a blade and familiarity with the stitching and structure of various types of clothing and bags.

From the previous day until that moment, Wang Yuns shock value had already exceeded 440,000. Acquiring two advanced skills consumed 200,000 points.

He had chosen to learn these two techniques for two reasons, first, to make money, and second, to accrue more shock value points.

Wang Yun was confident that he could recoup what he had spent. The information about the two skills was uploaded into Wang Yuns mind, and a smile crossed his face.

His first task was to buy some tweezers and scalpels, which were readily available at any large pharmacy. After a quick look around, Wang Yun found a pharmacy where he procured the necessary tools.

Holding the small scalpel, he let it twirl in his hand, a smile spreading across his face.

The viewers in the livestream were clueless about Wang Yuns intentions. Seeing Wang Yun purchase scalpels and tweezers, they engaged in animated discussions.

Whats going on with Big Brother? What does he need scalpels and tweezers for?

Im not sure, but according to Captain Zhang Xingchens plan, Big Brother should be relatively safe today.

With everything ready, Wang Yun adopted a thoughtful expression, got into a taxi, and asked the driver to head toward an area he knew was bustling with people.

Driver, to Tianyun Market.

Sure thing, the driver responded.

Tianyun Market, the largest wholesale market in the entirety of Nancheng, provided a plethora of goods, from vegetables to meats, and from dry goods to fruits. It was a hub of activity, catering to the needs of most large restaurants and hotels, which sourced their supplies from there.

Wang Yun had chosen this place for a very specific reason. In modern society, most transactions were carried out digitally, purchases were usually paid via QR codes. However, there was one exception where cash was still king, the market, particularly wholesale markets like Tianyun.

The staff coming here for procurement typically paid in cash. As this was a corporate expense, using their personal phones for payment wasnt feasible. Moreover, the market teemed with potential targets, especially during the bustling morning hours. These reasons made Tianyun Market an ideal hunting ground for Wang Yun.

Upon entering the dense crowd of the market from his taxi, his eyes twinkled with anticipation.

I really could do with some kind of observational skill, he mused, walking deeper into the market. He promptly opened the system store, browsed, and locked onto a skill.

Eagle Eye was the name. It was an observational skill, a vision-based one.

Purchase the advanced skill, Eagle Eye, Wang Yun commanded, spending another hundred thousand shock value points on this new skill.

Just like the idiom suggested, an eagles eye allows one to discern the minutest of details clearly. It was often used to describe a persons ability to perceive everything accurately, implying excellent vision.

After completing the purchase, Wang Yun licked his lips in satisfaction.

Having reviewed his attributes and skills, Wang Yuns eyes, now sharper than ever, started to scrutinize his surroundings. As the Nanchengs largest market, thousands of people bustled about. He headed straight to the vegetable section, bought a bag of greens, and held it as a guise.

Next, his eyes flashed as he started scrutinizing the customers around him.

At that moment, Wang Yun seemed like a lone wolf stalking through the darkness, hunting for his prey. The Eagle Eye skill enabled Wang Yun to intricately analyze each customer around him. He assessed their alertness and inspected their wallets and pockets.

After a ten-minute stroll around the vicinity, Wang Yun had selected seven potential targets.

The viewers in the live broadcast room found themselves growing a bit bored at this point. They began to chatter among themselves in the comments section.

Whats Big Brother up to? Why is he just wandering around? (f)reenovelkiss

Do you think Big Brother plans to use the rest of his money to buy more vegetables, then find a place to hide?

Thats entirely possible. With the money Big Brother has, he could sustain himself for a month if he found a safe place.

At precisely 9:53:22 in the morning, Wang Yun subtly squinted his eyes and popped a piece of chewing gum into his mouth. Then, he purposefully advanced toward his first target. A young man casually smoking a cigarette in front of a stall, engrossed in selecting items bent over to check the product.

Wang Yun walked directly toward him, and as he passed by, a pair of tweezers appeared in his hand that was holding the vegetable bag.

Once within five centimeters of the young man, the tweezers swiftly reached into the mans pocket, gently clasping the wallet inside.

The young mans trousers were quite loose, which made him the perfect target that Wang Yun had scoped out.

With the wallet secure in the tweezers grip, Wang Yun manipulated his hand to let the wallet drop into the black plastic bag.

He then merged back into the crowd, briskly moving forward. Every move was done silently and stealthily, entirely unnoticed by onlookers. Yet, the viewers in the live broadcast room were completely dumbfounded at this exact moment. Their astonishment was palpable.
