LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 18 Over Four Hundred Thousand in Two Hours
“Listen, is this even human language?”
“He’s out of his mind.”
“A lawless fanatic.”
All the viewers in the livestream heard Wang Yun’s words and responded with speechless ridicule.
Wang Yun, unaware of the viewers’ mockery, was at the Tianyun market and he headed straight toward the seafood section. The seafood area adjacent to the vegetable section and separated by a few hundred meters, was his next target. Upon his arrival, Wang Yun started his calm, methodical search for new victims.
Patience was paramount in his hunt.
A heavy-set man clutching a bag.
A young man carrying a bag.
A woman with a purse slung over her shoulder.
A young woman with a wallet in her pocket.
Wang Yun wandered through the seafood area, purchasing a large lobster along the way. This time, he spent a solid twenty minutes pinpointing over a dozen victims.
“Let’s get started.”
Once the victims were identified, Wang Yun began his operation.
The seafood area had fewer customers, making the task somewhat more challenging. It was a test of Wang Yun’s skills, but for him, the difficulty was still minimal.
His Shadowless Knife technique and his elusive methods of operation resulted in a series of ‘massacres’.
His hunt progressed smoothly. The yield here, compared to the vegetable area, was indeed much more substantial.
“Four thousand one hundred, not bad.”
“Three thousand nine hundred, decent.”
“Two thousand eight hundred, acceptable.”
“Ah, this is a gold chain, the weight is uncertain.”
“This is a watch, an unfamiliar brand.”
“And a piece of jewelry.”
Wang Yun sprung into action. Buyers in the seafood area, compared to those in the vegetable area, were noticeably wealthier.
This was the largest seafood section in the Tianyun market. Some nouveau riche bought seafood as gifts, and to entertain friends, they’d come to make purchases personally. These people, typically, were less alert.
One by one, the valuables entered Wang Yun’s bag, and a sly smile played at the corners of his mouth.
Five minutes into his hunt, after having secured more than a dozen targets, Wang Yun abruptly heard the sound of sirens. He was taken aback, his eyes sparkling with surprise.
“Damn, who cut my bag?”
“My gold necklace has disappeared.”
“Who did this?”
“What? What’s happening? Did something go missing? Someone else also lost something just now. Call the police quickly!”
Angry voices echoed from behind him.
Wang Yun’s gaze hardened as he walked toward the edge of the market.
At this very moment, the number of viewers in Wang Yun’s livestream has reached a staggering ten million. The level of excitement was comparable to the live broadcast of the command center room.
“Good Heavens. I was astounded when I first tuned in, but it only became more shocking the longer I watched.”
“This guy’s completely lost it. I saw him tear apart a Hermès bag carried by that woman. That bag alone was worth over a hundred thousand.”
“The budget is on fire. This is akin to the budget of an international blockbuster. I’m a brand-name bag appraiser. The bags he ruined in just five minutes were worth over three hundred thousand.”
“Over three hundred thousand? Do you guys realize how much money and the value of items this guy got in these five minutes? I estimate that gold necklace was worth sixty to seventy thousand, especially that watch, an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak series, that’s over three hundred thousand!”
“This is insanity! The sound of a police siren can be heard. Are they coming to arrest him? Didn’t the show’s team handle things properly?”
“Absolutely insane. Comparing his actions in the store yesterday with today, the latter is just child’s play. With all these covert operations, did he not earn four to five hundred thousand in just one hour?”
“Over four hundred thousand at the very least, not to mention the damaged bags were also worth over three hundred thousand.”
The viewers in the livestream were on the edge of their seats, the level of madness was unprecedented.
In just one hour, he had made damages of over seven hundred thousand. Everyone was flabbergasted by Wang Yun’s tactics and his earnings. It was simply too unbelievable. Even the sound of a police siren could be heard in the end.
Hadn’t the production team handled the aftermath? Indeed, at that moment, two members of the crew were frantically trying to manage the situation.
When they arrived at the vegetable area, someone had already alerted the police. They went over to explain, but many people had lost their money and still needed to make purchases.
The two staff members were left with no choice but to report back to the program team.
Furthermore, the bags that Wang Yun had destroyed had to be evaluated for damages. This wasn’t an easy task as the victims of the theft were noticeably upset.
The staff promptly submitted a request for compensation to the program team on their behalf. They were at their wit’s end. They were on the brink of a meltdown.
Upon hearing the sirens of the approaching police cars, their problems only seemed to multiply. They rushed to manage the situation. Their faces turned grim, especially upon learning that more than a dozen people had called the police, reporting a significant loss and destruction of property.
“This is going to be the end of us,” they lamented. In frustration, they sucked in a sharp breath.
Unaware of the unfolding chaos inside the Tianyun Market, Wang Yun had left the wallets and documents he’d obtained with the gatekeeper and promptly exited in a taxi.
Looking out of the window, he noticed four or five police cars parked along the roadside.
Wang Yun chuckled to himself. His haul this time around had been impressive. In addition, he had scored shock value points of four hundred thousand, far exceeding his expectations.
The taxi brought him to a luxury goods acquisition center. To his surprise, the watch, gold necklace, and piece of jewelry were appraised at four hundred and ten thousand.
He decided not to sell them. After all, he had already accumulated forty thousand in cash from this operation. Having too much cash on hand would only be inconvenient.
By the time all of this was sorted, it was already noon. Wang Yun, carrying a hefty lobster, headed to a seafood restaurant, ready to indulge in a grand feast.
