X-Dragon Era

"Ah!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, everyone cried out in unison, all thinking of quickly earning contributions to acquire more formidable treasures, but Xin Yun actually hadn't issued any tasks!

Seeing the disappointed looks on their faces, Xin Yun helplessly shook his head, took out a map from his bosom, and threw it in front of the Mouse Dragon, saying, "Well, since you're so eager, I'll assign a task to you."

Picking up the map with curiosity, they unfolded it to see numerous marks on it, and at the same time, Xin Yun continued, "See the marks on the map? Those are all major mines. If you have nothing else to do, you can hurry over, sneak into the warehouses and use the Chaos Cauldron to take out all the metals for me."

"Ah!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, the five brothers exclaimed in unison—wasn't this asking them to become thieves?

Looking at their shocked expressions, Xin Yun smirked and said, "That's right, it's to be thieves. Whether or not you go is up to you, but for now, this is the only task that needs doing."

Staring at the map in hand, Rat Big Brother had a bitter expression. Stealing wasn't something they were entirely averse to; after all, this wasn't petty theft but grand theft!

In fact, they had done such things before, but... without the help of the Chaos Cauldron, they couldn't really steal anything significant.

Mouse Dragon could burrow through the ground, but it could only burrow one person at a time without carrying anything. If they tried to carry a piece of metal, they certainly wouldn't be able to burrow, so even if they stole, they could only take small items that could fit in their pockets.

But now with the Chaos Cauldron, it was different; no matter the quantity of items, as long as they weren't too big, they could take them all. It wasn't considered a complete steal until they emptied the place—that was true grand theft.

Looking at the marks on the map, Rat Big Brother gritted his teeth—in the past, they had already done such deeds. To steal was to steal; who were they afraid of? Amidst these thoughts... Rat Big Brother suddenly looked up at Xin Yun and asked, "I want to know, if we steal everything at these targets, how much contribution will we earn?"

"Hmm..." Xin Yun pondered for a moment and decisively said, "There are five of you, so if we split it evenly, it would be enough for you all to rise to Third-level Gang Members!"

Third-level Gang Members! Hearing Xin Yun's words, the brothers' eyes lit up. What did becoming Third-level Gang Members mean? The All-Heaven Netherworld Banner aside, just by virtue of their Five Directions Flag-Bearer status, they could already borrow it now, and most importantly, they could borrow stronger magical artifacts!

Third-Order Taiji Diagram, Third-Order Chaos Bell! And the Third-Order All-Heaven Netherworld Banner! Once they had these, they would be invincible in the Gold rank. Even if they encountered an enemy of the Crystal rank, they would be able to hold their ground! Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

With the Third-Order Taiji Diagram and Chaos Bell, the Mouse Dragon would truly be formidable. The significance was not only that they would be invincible at the Gold rank, but also the significant enhancement of their self-protection abilities. Even if they encountered a master of the Crystal rank, they would be safe, and if they ran into a master of the Amethyst rank, they could still make a clean escape. This change was revolutionary for the Mouse Dragon!

Watching the Mouse Dragon gaze at the map in a daze, Xin Yun chuckled silently to himself. Indeed... if they really pulled off the heist, these five would become incredibly powerful with the Third-Order magical artifacts. However... with over a hundred marks on the map, and although they seemed densely packed, they were actually very far apart. To steal from them all would be a huge task for the Mouse Dragon, not something that could be done in a short time.

As they pondered, Double Kill couldn't contain themselves any longer and urgently said, "Boss, what about us? Assign some tasks to us too. Otherwise, we don't know what else to do."

Watching the seven figures gradually disappear into the distance, standing atop Yinglong, Xin Yun smiled with satisfaction. Under Xin Yun's arrangement, the Mouse Dragon went to various Smelting Yards and mines to steal metals, while Double Kill didn't have much to do, so Xin Yun simply instructed them to focus on increasing their strength and practicing their assassination and stealth techniques. Should any situation arise, Xin Yun would contact them at any time.

As for the issue of funding, it was not a problem at all. In the past two months, the taxes robbed from Wave Valley City and the Wild Wolf Gang had already been enough for their expenses.

"Pat pat..." Clapping his hands, Xin Yun mounted Yinglong and hurried back the way he came. By that time, the purpose of the trip had been fulfilled, and it was time to return to Lán Sè.

Without a word spoken on the return journey, Xin Yun didn't rush but focused on cultivating instead. Therefore, by the time Xin Yun returned to the future headquarters of the gang, a year and a half had passed since their departure from Mountain Sea City.

When Xin Yun found the colossal glacier again, he was stunned to discover that the ice hole he had left about a year ago had vanished. The entire ice wall was smooth and flat, showing no indication of any differences.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been in constant contact with Lán Sè, Xin Yun would have thought something had happened to her. Although he didn't know how she managed it, he figured she must have done it for secrecy.

With a thought, through the Taiji Diagram, Xin Yun connected with Lán Sè. Upon hearing that Xin Yun had returned, Lán Sè swiftly took action. As Xin Yun watched in astonishment, a perfectly round hole quickly cracked open on the smooth ice wall, and then... the hole rapidly expanded, forming a giant ice cave about ten meters in diameter in just a moment!
