Chapter 21 Deception vs. Deception (Part 2)

Sun Ling and Huang Jun had been scamming and swindling for quite some time, but strictly speaking, they were still just bottom-rung hooligans who hadn't really stepped onto the "Dao."

Thieving, too, has its "Dao."

Don't think that because the threshold to be a "thief" or "scammer" seems low... if you've stolen something, you might be called a "thief," but you're not a "professional thief"; if you've tricked money out of someone, you might indeed be called a "scammer," but you're not a "professional scammer."

It's like if you told a comedy sketch at your school's art show or your company's annual party, that wouldn't make you a professional comedian.

To "join the Dao," you need to understand the rules of the underworld, and you need the corresponding professional skills.

Do you think the kind of skill you see in TV dramas, where someone bumps into you and steals your wallet without you noticing, is something any thief can do? Why don't you give it a try?
