Chapter 12: Finally Gained Skills

"Oh no, a power outage!" The moment the power system of the vandalized art museum was destroyed, it plunged into darkness, causing even the guards outside to panic.

"Don't panic! Turn on the flashlight!" Junfu remained calm at this moment. Suddenly, the sound of breaking glass came from all directions. Is the thief trying to escape through the peephole? But why does the sound of breaking glass seem to come from all sides?

Of course, to confuse Junfu and the police, Li Yalin fired several shots, breaking four or five windows, leaving the peephole card, securing "The Rhine River" in a leather tube, and firmly fastening it to his back.

Done! Seizing the opportunity amidst the chaos, Li Yalin swiftly descended from the second floor. Although it was a height of at least five meters from the ground, thanks to Xiao Lei's careful teaching, Li Yalin knew exactly how to land to minimize injury. After several consecutive rolls, Li Yalin stood up after hitting the ground, checked his body, and found himself unharmed.

"Big brother, how did it go?" Seeing Li Yalin return, Lei Zi hurriedly asked with concern.

"We got it, let's retreat!" Patting the leather tube on his back, Li Yalin quickly started the motorcycle, carrying Lei Zi back to the Cat's Eye Cafe.

"Big brother, you're amazing. None of those people caught you." The night street was quiet, with only Li Yalin's motorcycle racing on the road. Sitting on the back seat, Lei Zi hugged Li Yalin tightly from behind, feeling the warmth. She wished she could keep hugging him like this forever. Lei Zi also admired Li Yalin's successful completion of the mission.

"It's nothing. Thanks to your help this time. But it's a pity you didn't receive the mission." If Lei Zi had received the mission too, they could have earned an extra 1000 game points and two skills.

"It's okay, as long as big brother completes the mission." Lei Zi said affectionately. In her heart, as long as she followed Li Yalin, with his protection, whether or not she got these game points didn't matter.

"You silly girl." Li Yalin was moved. Although this god-making game was very user-friendly, who knew what unknown dangers might arise in the future? With game points in hand, one might be able to save a life at a critical moment, just like Li Yalin's mission just now. Without the game store, the mission would have been impossible to complete.

But precisely because of this, Li Yalin was determined to protect Lei Zi. Whether in this mission or the ones to come, Li Yalin would do his best to complete them. Not for anything else, but just to ensure that he and the girls around him could live happily.

"Did that female police officer leave?" Back at the Cat's Eye Cafe, the front door was already closed. Entering through the back door, Li Yalin and Lei Zi went straight to the second floor. At this moment, the Lam sisters were anxiously waiting for their return, even silently praying for them.

"You're back, Yalin!" Seeing Li Yalin return, Xiao Tong immediately ran up to him with joy. Without answering Li Yalin's question, she began checking his body up and down, not even caring whether the mission was completed.

"It's alright, I'm perfectly fine. Oh, and this is 'The Rhine River'." Gently supporting Xiao Tong's shoulder, Li Yalin indicated that he wasn't hurt at all. At the same time, he took off the leather tube from his back and handed it to Xiao Lei.

"This time, we really have to thank Yalin and Lei Zi. As soon as 'The Rhine River' was stolen, Asagawa Mitsuko left. From the sound of the phone call, it seems like there's quite a commotion at the art museum." Taking the leather tube handed over by Li Yalin, Xiao Lei showed gratitude and admiration. This time, Li Yalin really helped a lot.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I had to resort to some unconventional methods due to the time constraints." Li Yalin scratched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. The situation at the Doli Art Museum could be described as chaotic, and Junfu was really in for some bad luck.

With that, Li Yalin's mission was successful once again. To celebrate the victory, everyone gathered for a small celebration until one o'clock in the morning, bidding each other good night and retiring to their rooms.

However, Li Yalin, back in his room, didn't go to sleep. After completing this mission, in addition to earning 1000 game points, he could also obtain two random skills, which was the most important reward.

Excitedly opening the mission panel, he began selecting random skills. Stop! Luck! Finally, Li Yalin's skill panel was not empty but displayed two LV1 skills.

Enhanced Firepower LV1: Increases the power of firearms by 40%.

Deathly Silence LV1: Reduces footstep sounds.

Looking at these two skills, Li Yalin felt a bit conflicted. Both were practical skills, but they didn't seem very flashy, which was quite different from what Li Yalin had originally imagined.

Enhanced Firepower, although not very helpful for the current Li Yalin, would definitely play a significant role in future battles. After all, increasing the power of firearms would give Li Yalin an advantage in gunfights.

As for Deathly Silence, it was indispensable in ambush battles or similar stealth missions. Moreover, Li Yalin's skills were only LV1 for now. If they continued to level up, what heights would these two skills reach? Li Yalin was very much looking forward to it.

Before going to bed, Li Yalin hid the night vision goggles and M4A1 he bought from the game store. He wouldn't need the weapons for now, and it wouldn't be appropriate to openly display them.

The next day, when Junfu returned to the Cat's Eye Cafe, he looked very haggard. It seemed like he had been scolded severely by the chief. However, Asagawa Mitsuko, who was with Junfu, saw Li Yalin for the first time and immediately began her new speculation.

"What's wrong, Junfu? This doesn't seem like you." After introducing each other, Junfu slumped despondently on the bar counter. Seeing his condition, Li Yalin, as a friend, naturally went forward to console him.

"Don't mention it. It's really embarrassing. The Cat's Eye
