Chapter 44: Getting more and more ridiculous, even the skill of a master thief has shown up!

"President Qin, what on earth are virgin boy urine eggs?"

Standing nearby, Yang Wei felt a sudden premonition of doom wash over him upon hearing the term.

"According to what I found online, these virgin boy urine eggs are boiled in the urine of young boys..." Qin Yanran explained.

"W-What? Boiled in urine?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wei felt as though the sky had collapsed upon him. He immediately covered his mouth and sprinted toward the restroom.

A moment later, the sounds of violent retching echoed from inside the washroom.

Hearing the vomiting, Tan Ping could not help casting a sympathetic glance toward the restroom, silently offering a three-second moment of silence for the man.

If his sense of smell hadn't been enhanced, the person currently puking in the toilet might very well have been him!

Just then, Lin Shigong tiptoed into the hospital ward, walking with a wobbly, limping gait.

Li Dong immediately asked, "Sis, is this big brother also one of your colleagues?"

Li Wei nodded.

Without missing a beat, Li Dong pulled two eggs out of his bag and handed them to Lin Shigong with enthusiastic hospitality, "Big brother, have an egg! This is a specialty delicacy from my hometown—incredibly nourishing!"

"Thanks! Just in time, I'm starving!"

Lin Shigong did not decline.

In the livestream chat room, viewers flooded the screen with comments: "Another victim has been born!"

Lin Shigong peeled an egg and, as he ate it, gave Li Wei a thumbs-up. "Not bad at all! This is my first time having tea eggs that taste this good!"

"Brother, these aren't tea eggs!" Li Dong corrected him immediately.

"Not tea eggs? They taste a bit like them to me! Both have a savory, salty flavor!" Lin Shigong said, looking rather surprised.

"These are virgin boy urine eggs, our Yuhang intangible cultural heritage!" Li Dong declared with considerable pride.

In his hometown, whenever a certain season rolled around, every household would boil virgin boy urine eggs. It had become a tradition.

"W-What? Virgin boy urine eggs? These eggs were boiled in urine?"

Upon hearing this, the hand holding the egg began to tremble.

"Yeah! You couldn't buy these even if you had money..." Li Dong nodded.

At this point, Qin Yanran asked curiously, "Xiaodong, where on earth do you get the urine for these? From what I read online, it's supposedly quite hard to gather at this time of year!"

"Hehe!"

Li Dong chuckled sheepishly.

This made Lin Shigong spit out the bite of egg he had just been chewing directly onto Li Dong's face.

Because at that moment, he finally understood: the urine used to boil these eggs belonged to this punk right here!

Li Dong looked aggrieved. "Big brother, what a waste! The older the hen, the more nourishing it is. I'm a twenty-year-old virgin—do you even understand the weight of that?"

In the livestream room, the netizens were thoroughly defeated:

"666! First time I've ever heard someone brag about being a 20-year-old virgin!"

"Still, his logic checks out! Hens get more nourishing the older they get, so why shouldn't virgin boy urine follow the same rule?"

"I can tell that if Li Dong wasn't the Rabbit Officer's younger brother, he'd be getting beaten up today!"

"No exaggeration, if anyone fed me this, I'd throw a tantrum on the spot."

"I remember once when I went traveling in Dongyang, a friend's mother boiled these eggs to treat me. I couldn't swallow them, so I just said I didn't like eggs. As a result, my friend's mother told me to drink some of the broth instead!"

"Reading the comment above, I completely lost it!"

"Can you actually drink that broth?"

Seeing that Lin Shigong was on the verge of a complete meltdown, Li Wei hurriedly reminded her younger brother, "Xiaodong, save those eggs and eat them all yourself!"

By this point, Lin Shigong felt like crying. Walking on tiptoes with his awkward, limping stride, he bolted toward the restroom.

As soon as he stepped inside, he encountered Yang Wei, who was still retching into the toilet bowl.

Clearly, this was another poor soul deeply traumatized by the cruelty of the virgin boy urine.

Just then, the nurse in charge of Tan Ping's ward walked in. Catching the strange odor lingering in the room, she immediately began shooing people out. "Don't crowd the hospital ward; it will interfere with the patient's rest!"

"Right! We'll leave right now!" Qin Yanran said with a smile.

The objective of her trip had already been accomplished.

Li Wei turned to Yang Wei and said, "Brother Yang, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on Officer Tan for a bit. I'm going to take my brother to find a place to stay."

"Rabbit Officer, don't you worry!" Yang Wei replied immediately.

Before leaving, Li Wei said to Tan Ping and the other man, "Officer Tan, Yang Wei, I'm heading out!"

"What? Officer Tan is impotent?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dong gasped as if he had just discovered a brand-new continent.

Tan Ping's face instantly turned dark. "You little punk, if you don't know how to speak, shut your bird-beak!"

Li Wei hastily dragged her younger brother away. She had figured out that if she left him here any longer, he was bound to get a severe beating!

Before long, the once-lively hospital ward emptied out, leaving only Yang Wei behind.

Tan Ping turned to Yang Wei and said, "Brother Yang, if you're hungry, you can go grab a bite outside first. There's nothing going on here right now!"

"Alright! Officer Tan, just call my cell if anything comes up!"

Hearing this, Yang Wei felt as though he had been granted a royal pardon.

He was already starving to begin with, and after choking down that single virgin boy urine egg earlier, he had barfed up all his stomach fluids!

Right now, Yang Wei felt thoroughly wretched!

"Finally, I can do a ten-draw!"

Tan Ping eagerly opened up the system interface.

At that moment, the popularity points counter already showed 112,000.

Without hesitation, Tan Ping navigated to the mystery box purchase interface and issued the command: "Ten-draw!"

"A ten-draw requires 90,000 popularity points. Are you sure you wish to proceed?"

"Confirm!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host! 90,000 popularity points have been deducted, and you have successfully purchased 10 mystery boxes!"

At the same time, Tan Ping noticed that once these mystery boxes were purchased, he no longer needed to click on them one by one.

The black boxes disintegrated into fragments one after another, revealing clusters of colored light.

Among them, the most dazzling was a burst of golden light!

Furthermore, besides the golden glow, there was even a cluster of crimson light!

"As expected, a ten-draw is the way to go! Not only is there a guaranteed golden reward, but there's also a red reward!"

Quite satisfied, Tan Ping proceeded to check the golden reward first.

Instantly, a stream of information flooded his mind: "Congratulations, Host! Successfully unlocked the golden-tier skill—God of Thieves!"

"W-What?"

Tan Ping almost thought he had misread the prompt.

"System bro, isn't this a bit too ridiculous? Last time you gave me auto repair and I just bit my tongue and bore it, but this time you actually gave me a thievery skill?"

What could a traffic police officer possibly do with proficiency in theft?

And to top it off, this was a max-level thievery skill!

However, the system refused to coddle Tan Ping and immediately initiated a countdown: 5, 4, 3...

"Comprehend! I'll comprehend it immediately!"

Seeing that the countdown was about to end, Tan Ping had no choice but to issue the command to learn it.

This had cost him a whopping 90,000 popularity points; if he didn't use it, wouldn't it all go to waste?

As he absorbed the golden orb of light, Tan Ping felt a vast amount of knowledge flood into his mind, entirely centered around the art of stealing.

From seizing the right moment to execution techniques, every single detail was covered.

Tan Ping even felt that his physical coordination and eyesight had undergone enhancement. The core philosophy of thievery, after all, was to have lightning-fast eyes and hands.

After fully integrating the golden light, he felt his stealing skills had reached a miraculous, peerless realm.

Just then, the nurse entered the ward once more.

Intent on testing out his newly acquired divine thief skill, Tan Ping casually reached out and swiped a packet from the nurse's pocket.

Upon touching it, he felt a soft plastic package containing something pliable—presumably tissues or something similar. Smiling, he handed it back to the nurse, "Sister Bai, you dropped something!"

"Ah? Why is my sanitary pad in your hand?!"

The young nurse glanced down at the item in Tan Ping's grip, her face flushing crimson red.

Meanwhile, Tan Ping, having clearly identified the object in his hand, was equally dumbfounded.

It was a pack of Seven Space ultra-thin pads.
