All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 289 Thieves Guild
"Goudan, you go back first. Be careful on the road. It's better to eat the ingredients you bought in the future."

Although Tao Yu received a lifetime 10% discount in compensation from the store, he still felt that the people out there were somewhat unreliable.

The shop owner was also a victim in this incident, but Tao Yu did not do anything to them.

"Okay, be careful. I heard that the Thieves Guild is in chaos."

Wang Goudan had never had any contact with the Thieves Guild, and he always tried to be cautious when doing his missions, but at least he often hung out in the mission hall, so he knew a little bit of the news.

Because he heard it was a mess, he didn't try to make extra money.

Even Wang Goudan, a mid-level partner, didn't dare to go there easily. Even though he was cautious enough, he could initially see that most of the people hanging around in the Thieves Guild were ruthless characters.

For example, the catwoman An Nan, although she was very well-behaved after being subdued in front of Tao Yu, she also had blood on her hands.

It is common for wanted criminals to appear in the Thieves Guild, but there are no senior partners lurking in the Thieves Guild to make extra money, which means that the risks are greater than the benefits!
"Chaos? Chaos is good..."

Tao Yu's eyes became a little deeper...

……

The alley was dark, even the street lamps were broken, and the occasional flickering electric light made the place look a little eerie.

It is obviously out of tune with the lights on the street next door.

Tao Yu came here wearing a partner cloak and a mask, and found the sewer entrance that the captain had mentioned before.

Because there was a guy in a black robe coming out of a sewer in an empty alley in front of them. When he saw Tao Yu, he was full of vigilance and left in a hurry.

But the next moment, he felt someone patted his shoulder.

Before he could react, his whole body felt numb and he completely lost control of himself.

This made the man terrified, and he immediately begged for mercy.

"Grandpa, spare me. I'm not the person you're looking for."

The guys who were caught knew that the Thieves Guild actually had a tacit agreement that the entrances and exits would be temporarily changed every month to avoid disputes.

Although it is not absolute, except for a few unruly young people and crazy people, most people will generally abide by this rule.

Because the core of the Thieves Guild, although they cannot deal with all the unruly people, they will randomly select some people to use as rafts.

Often, people who cause trouble in the Thieves Guild appear to be fine at the time, but a few months later their bodies are found in the sewers that pass by the Thieves Guild.

This is also the reason why senior partners do not come to stay on site.

I finally made it big, but I'm a fool to risk my life.

Besides, those who come to such places are all capable and very vigilant, and no one can guarantee that they will not fail.

If you go over and say hello and then the other party uses all kinds of deadly means against you, you are likely to get into trouble.

Examples of the David and Goliath defeating the Strong are commonplace among these members of the Thieves Guild.

An Nan even assassinated a senior partner, but her overall strength is still far from the threshold of a senior partner.

The basic physical body can't even withstand bullets.

But in this situation, if you encounter a few powerful dragons crossing the river, there is nothing you can do.

The Thieves Guild is not invincible, and it has even been taken down by some powerful individuals on several occasions.

It's just that the Thieves Guild model is prone to resurgence, and it has a flexible bottom line and will compromise with the strong.

Now he was caught at the door, and it was obvious that he was not a fool or a lunatic. The gap in strength between him and him was almost instant, which made him give in completely.

"Don't be afraid, tell me what's going on inside and I'll let you go..."

Tao Yu tried to speak in a gentle voice, but because his voice changed and became a little hoarse, this "gentleness" sounded like the devil's whisper to the other party's ears.

"Sir, if this is your first time at the Thieves Guild, a token of introduction can save you a lot of trouble. I, I can be your introducer, and this is my token."

To hang around in such a place, besides having strong strength, observing people's words and expressions can be said to be a necessary skill.

Just by hearing Tao Yu's question, I roughly judged that this big guy should rarely come here. Maybe he just wanted to come in to get some secret information, or maybe he was rewarded and came to take a look.

When one's strength reaches a certain level, it is easier and more convenient to obtain intelligence through the official authorities than through the Thieves Guild...

……

"Okay."

Tao Yu jumped down from the sewer entrance. From what the other party said, he knew that the location of the Thieves Guild was often moved. The token was actually a bit like a pager, which could easily receive mass radio encrypted messages, usually about changes in location or something like that.

Moreover, the Thieves Guild is actually far less impressive than some mysterious killer organizations. Compromising with the strong is commonplace, and even the information obtained from them seems a bit cowardly.

A typical strong verifier. Generally speaking, those who can be hung up by the Thieves Guild are mostly guys whose strength is not top-notch, and the consequences of killing them are usually average.

Tao Yu originally thought that it was not right, because he was openly protected by the Sun siblings, but then he thought that he was just a person who did things, and he could have some influence while he was alive, but if the assassination was successful, that would be it.

It is a bit troublesome, but it is within the acceptable range for the Thieves Guild.

In fact, there is still a difference between himself and those children from the inner city families.

The advantage is that the conflicts will be concentrated on yourself, and your family will not be implicated before you resolve the problem yourself, but the disadvantage is that you don't have a solid blood family to support you.

If there is a chance to eliminate oneself without leaving any trace, there will be many people willing to try it.

For example, the wild boar man at the beginning, and the lizard glutton's willingness to avenge his "friend of life and death" after the conflict arose. In fact, it is all like this. The ability and privileges brought by it are all in one's own hands.

What Tao Yu found a little funny was that the Thieves Guild had only been restarted not long ago.

Last time, he was confronted by the president of Chaoyang Society, and he was defeated directly. He just reopened recently, and then all the assassination business related to Chaoyang Society was gone.

When Tao Yu heard this, he felt a little surprised, but also felt it was reasonable.

If they are not tactful, the Thieves Guild will eventually fall as long as it fails to become the strongest.

On the contrary, their current reputation seems normal.

But there is one thing that the Thieves Guild is currently doing very well, and that is their anonymous mission system, and they also have the ability to store willpower remotely in the same city.

"It's interesting that the credibility actually relies on 'gods'. No wonder it's so successful. Aren't they afraid that the Thieves Guild will just take the bounty themselves?"

Tao Yu looked a little strange.

The Thieves Guild mainly relies on the 'God of Wealth', who is one of the righteous gods born from the will of the world and can be visualized through meditation.

It has no will of its own, but has corresponding constraints.

The most important thing is that the 'God of Wealth' can store wishes. As long as there is a sculptor who can carve a statue of the God of Wealth, the remote storage can be completed. However, the 'God of Wealth' will charge a 10% commission every time.

Generally speaking, companies would rather set up their own wish payment system than choose the God of Wealth, but the Thieves Guild is different.

The task mode is also very simple. The willpower is deposited in advance in the form of two secret keys, one in the Thieves Guild and one in the hands of the person who issued the task. It is stored in advance and entered into the statue of the 'God of Wealth'.

If the task is completed, the publisher will send the secret key after confirmation.

You can withdraw the mission if you want, but you will lose 10% of your willpower and the commission from the Thieves Guild.

However, there will be a "cooling-off period" of a few days for withdrawal, mainly to prevent the publisher from taking advantage of the time difference to withdraw the task early after the task is completed.

At the same time, there were also some problems with this type of mission, such as the key holder of the Thieves Guild being beaten to death.

However, due to the constraints on both parties and the Thieves Guild's own certain ability to retaliate, this kind of thing is still a low-probability event.

The Thieves Guild is a smooth union that is good at compromise and has a very flexible bottom line.

It is not uncommon for a powerful victim to come to the door and start causing trouble for the task issuer!
Therefore, there is usually a potential upper limit to the tasks that the Thieves Guild can undertake.

Whether it is the Thieves Guild's own caution or the quest issuer's prudence, this point will be taken into consideration.

At your own risk...
