Chapter 380: 217 Nowadays, young people dare to threaten the Heavenly Master with a razor blade (please subscribe! please vote monthly!)_2

There were even more outrageous things to come,

Asked, “What is the next line to ‘When poor, one must keep oneself pure’?”

Li Yixi replied, “When rich, gather harems!”

In the short-answer section, asked, “How many types of snowflakes are there?”

Li Yixi said, “Snowflake Wholewheat, Snowflake Original, Venture the World!”

…

Of course, there’s no such thing as the most ridiculous, only more ridiculous.

On the Chinese exam at least he had scored over forty points,

Qin Hao then opened Li Yixi’s math exam, which was an even greater disaster area.

Asked, “Li Lei has 323 rock candies, 289 marshmallows, and 134 lollipops in his pocket. Today, Li Lei ate 289 rock candies, 124 marshmallows, and 96 lollipops.

What does Li Lei have now?”

Li Yixi coolly answered, “Li Lei has diabetes.”

That answer threw Qin Hao for a loop for a moment.

Qin Hao thought, If you had this kind of wit during your Chinese exam, could you really have scored only a little over forty?

Asked, “If the numbers 1 and 8 are broken on a calculator, and you need to calculate 336*18, what should you do?”

Li Yixi said, “Buy another calculator that works!”

…

Qin Hao could only remain speechless as he looked at the test paper.

He then turned his eyes toward Li Yixi, who was sitting beside him, looking unusually docile.

“So, you didn’t learn a thing during class, did you?”

If you had grasped even a single word the teacher said, you wouldn’t have come up with such explosive answers!

Qin Hao was in the middle of lecturing his unfortunate student.

At that moment, from their viewpoint,

they suddenly saw on the subway a man dressed in black, wearing a cap and a mask, and with a backpack on his chest, getting close to a passerby.

His slender fingers extended, holding a blade, the sharp blade slicing open a backpack on the crowded subway.

The man in black swiftly slipped his fingers into the passerby’s backpack and, in less than a second, managed to pinch a DSLR camera.

Then, he opened his backpack and with fluid motions tucked the camera inside.

The whole process was swift and smooth.

Clearly, a seasoned pickpocket.

Then, from another passerby’s backpack, he stole a Switch, documents, and other valuables.

Li Yixi said, “Teacher, that camera is probably a Canon high-end flagship, quite expensive; we have one at home, selling for about twenty or thirty thousand each.”

Li Yixi’s family was quite well-off.

Both parents were wealthy.

Li Yixi’s father also liked photography, so there were always a few cameras at home.

Li Yixi, exposed to this environment, also knew a bit about cameras.

The Canon DSLR that the man in black had just stolen happened to be the same model Li Yixi had at home.

It must have cost twenty to thirty thousand when it was bought.

Nowadays, when you think about it, who carries cash when shopping?

Everyone uses mobile payments.

Without cash, thieves are almost out of a job.

As for directly stealing mobile phones, it’s unrealistic and too risky.

Many phones now come with built-in tracking capabilities.

The moment you steal it and get it home, the police could be knocking on your door.

Today’s thieves can only target digital products that are expensive,

like cameras and game consoles.

Like the Canon DSLR just stolen.

A brand-new one is worth twenty or thirty thousand, and even selling it second-hand for ten to twenty thousand wouldn’t be hard.

A second-hand Switch could go for over a thousand too.

As for stealing IDs,

it might be claimed as something “found” and used to extort a “finder’s fee” from the owner.

Isn’t this faster than directly stealing cash?

So, it must be said, every profession evolves with the times.

Pickpockets have evolved too; without a bit of brains, you couldn’t survive.

Just as the Heavenly Master and Li Xixi were discussing this pickpocket dressed in black.

This man in black also realized that he had been seen while committing the crime.

Immediately, he approached and stood in front of Qin Hao and Li Yixi.

Gazing at them with a ferocious look.

At the same time, the man in black shook the blade in front of Qin Hao.

A deep voice came from beneath the man’s mask.

“Don’t meddle in things you shouldn’t, just sit in your subway, got it?”

This man in black, clearly a desperate crook, wouldn’t dare to steal in a confined subway without some guts.

After all, if caught, he’d be trapped with no escape.

At this moment, the man in black threatening Qin Hao would have scared the average person.

A good man does not fight with rabid dogs.

But unfortunately for the man in black, he was dealing with the Heavenly Master!

Qin Hao, looking at the swaying blade in front of him, was stunned.

Li Yixi was stunned too.

Was this thief threatening them?

On what basis?

Just because you have a blade in your hand?

Qin Hao and Li Yixi were both frightened.

That blade looked very sharp.

Qin Hao looked down, not saying a word.

The man in black, thinking Qin Hao was frightened, showed a satisfied expression.

But just as he was feeling smug,

Qin Hao’s palm flipped, and suddenly, a long sword appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

The Heavenly Master Sword was drawn by Qin Hao and rested on his lap, the blade dazzling and sharp.

At that moment, the subway car jolted.

A young man being jostled in the subway bumped into someone.

A down feather was squeezed out of the puffer coat he was wearing.

The feather gently fell, and as it came within three inches of the Heavenly Master Sword on Qin Hao’s lap, it was sliced into seven pieces by the sharp Sword Qi.

The man in black broke into a cold sweat and swallowed hard.

He glanced at the blade between his fingers.

Then at the long sword in Qin Hao’s hand.

Seemingly, not much of a match!

He got by bringing the blade into the subway.

The man in black was internally floored: How the hell did you bring such a big sword in here?

At that time, Qin Hao gave a slight smile and flipped his hand,

Then took back the Heavenly Master Sword.

However, at this moment, he looked at the man in black and slowly took off his mask.

Qin Hao’s whole face was exposed on the subway.

Qin Hao said, “Young man, threatening me, huh? Didn’t recognize me with the mask just now? Now that I’ve taken off the mask, take a good look and see who I am. Did you think you could flaunt that little blade? Who gave you the guts? Is it because I can’t carry a sword anymore, or are you just delusional?”

The man in black saw the Heavenly Master taking off the mask and recognized the familiar face.

His pupils dilated.

I’m screwed!

He was completely stunned.

Damn!

The Heavenly Master!

The man in black felt dizzy, his vision darkened.

He fainted on the spot.

He actually threatened the Heavenly Master?

Damn, I am so screwed.

This petty thief just fainted.

Watching this scene, everyone in the car was dumbfounded.

What’s going on with this guy?

Why did he suddenly faint?

What happened?

Not many knew what had just transpired.

Only a few sitting next to Qin Hao.

At the moment, they were still in shock.

After all, that was the Heavenly Master!

A legendary figure, riding the subway, sitting right next to them.

Who could recover from that so quickly?

Qin Hao put on his mask and stood up pulling Li Yixi by the hand,

At the same time, he said, “Please report this, the guy’s a thief, and his bag likely contains a lot of stuff. It’s best that everyone checks their own bags to see what’s missing.”

With that, Qin Hao picked up the man in black’s backpack from the ground and pulled out cameras, game consoles, tablets, and so on,

Placing these items on his seat.

Then he left with Li Yixi.

As Qin Hao stepped out of the car,

the subway passengers also began to react.

“Damn! My backpack’s slashed open; this scumbag stole my Switch!”

“Damn, is that not my camera? I just bought it, opened it yesterday. I’ve been saving for over three months–spent over twenty thousand–almost got stolen!”

“My tablet, over ten thousand bucks! Got loads of photos in it too. If it were lost, my wife would kill me!”

“So, he really is a thief! Damn! It’s 9022, and thieves still haven’t died out? Guys don’t let this scumbag escape; I’ll skip work today just to drag you to the police station!”

“Quick, call the police! Call the police!”
