Eternal Thief

Chapter 1151: Entering Seclusion (2)

Ace entered the completely white Theft Stimulation Virtual Room. It was empty, but the moment Ace stepped into it, he felt his mind become clear, and his connection to the laws deepened.

At this moment, an interface suddenly opened in front of him before he could fully digest that feeling.

Ace was speechless when he saw the menu and asked with pursed lips, ”Why is there a cost for every skill/spell that could be stimulated? I thought they would be included in the theft stimulation virtual room as long as I activate it! I didnʼt know that I had to pay for whatever skill I wanted to stimulate separately!”

”[Hostʼs skills/spells are completely different from other house members, thatʼs why the host needs to pay for every stimulation according to the skill/spell difficulty. Furthermore, the host shouldʼve already noticed that the Theft Stimulation Virtual Room can also help with law comprehension without using the stimulation feature. Please donʼt complain without good reason.]”

Ace cocked an eyebrow before he retorted, ”Then donʼt give me a reason to complain, dammit!” But the system no longer paid him any attention, so he could only fume silently before he let it go. After all, he knew the system wouldnʼt bend its ridiculous rules for him.

Furthermore, the latter part about the system explanation was true because he could really feel the dense law in this place.

Not to mention, the available skills/spells were really difficult to master, especially the first two mentioned in the list. He had already mastered everything except these two from the Mortal Sky Heaven.

The Absolute Pick Pocket required him to increase his comprehension of Space law, and he felt that he couldnʼt use his normal pickpocket on a Law State cultivator since they were extremely sensitive to laws and elemental skills were childish in front of them.

But before he starts with anything, he still has some things he put on hold since he was in a hurry. The first thing was the remaining reward he got from completing the Thief Job Mission.

He flipped his hand. A corporal inky pentagon coin appeared in his hand. There was his new thief symbol, which seemed to be made with countless starry runes. On the other side of it was engraved a runic image of a hood. He opened its description.

-Thief Connate Ability Token (Grade-???)

-Introduction: Thief Connate Ability Token allows Heavenʼs Stealer to incorporate any Thief-related skill/spell into a Thief Connate Ability. Henceforth, the skill/spell turned into a Thief Connate Ability, which will no longer have any limit and can evolve and grow with Heavenʼs Stealer!

-Disclaimer: If the Thief-related skill/spell is much higher grade and more powerful than Heavenʼs Stealer, upon incorporating it into Thief Connate Ability, its power/grade will be readjusted to match Heavenʼs Stealerʼs current realm/prowess!

-Warning: While selecting a skill/spell, please keep in mind that upon turning the skill/spell into a connate ability, any evolved/upgraded version of this skill/spell will permanently disappear from the system archive if it exists!

-Use: To activate, please speak the name of the thief-related skill/spell you want to turn into a Thief Connate Ability while enveloping the Thief Connate Ability Token with your Qi!

Flabbergasted, Aceʼs eyes trembled with atonement before ecstasy took over; he wasnʼt expecting the reward he was ignoring all this time, which turned out to be so huge.

He knew the biggest weakness of any skill set was once he became stronger, then the skill would lose its value, and he needed to search for a more powerful skill set.

Especially his own skill set; although higher-grade skills were quite potent than the lower- grade ones, some skills were still far more useful than higher-grade skills in the same category.

Just like the pickpocket, one of his first skills from the system, it is still supported to this day despite not comprehending the Absolute pickpocket yet. But now, the initial pickpocket has reached its absolute limit, and he needs the Absolute pickpocket to replace it.

However, he knew even the Absolute Pick Pocket would eventually reach its limit, and if he didnʼt have a replacement, he would lose his most profitable and used skill. Even if he could create a new one, he knew it wouldnʼt be the same.

Thatʼs why the Thief Connate Ability Token shocked them. It was like a godsend because it would allow him to turn a skill into his personal connate ability, and then no matter how strong he grew, the connate ability would follow suit and never grow weak.

As for what skill he wanted as a connate ability, Ace didnʼt even need to think twice about it after all, he wonʼt miss this chance to have his favorite skill as a permanent connate ability! Ace grinned widely as he enveloped the token with his Qi and spoke, ”Turn the Absolute Pickpocket into Thief Connate Ability!”

The moment Aceʼs words left his mouth, he suddenly felt something stir deep within him. The next moment, a dark blue light suddenly shot out from his glabella out of nowhere and entered the shimmering token in his hand.

Before he could react, the token suddenly turned into a dark streak and shot back into his

glabella.

At this moment, the systemʼs voice rang.
