Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 145: Chapter 143: Group Robbery

Translator: 549690339

“A… A robbery?”

All eight people were stunned by what Camille Victoria said.

Even Xiaomei, who had the closest relationship with Camille Victoria, was no exception. The smile that always remained on her face suddenly froze.

The eldest aunt was the first to step forward, diplomatically expressing her refusal: “Isn’t there another way? Can’t we just buy the game currency with money? I can bear the cost for everyone.”

The teenager also tried to persuade her: “This doesn’t seem right.”

Xiaomei looked worried for Camille Victoria: “I know this is just a game, and doing this probably won’t cause any trouble, but aren’t you live streaming? This game is so realistic, won’t this affect your image?”

Camille Victoria blinked and gave a subtle smile.

She didn’t explain but directly showed the live streaming interface to Xiaomei.

As soon as Xiaomei leaned in, she saw the barrage of comments.

“Charge! Robbery!”

“Zero-cost purchase mode – activate!”

“A horse without night grass cannot grow fat, a person without ill-gotten gains cannot get rich! Robbery is right! ”

“Earning money through labor is the slowest way to get rich, you need to use your brain (cunning) to make money!”

Even many comments have started to give them advice “Remember to rob stores close to the amusement park!”

“Don’t pick the cheap ones! Don’t go to banks with armed security, rob jewelry stores!”

“Nine people shouldn’t rob the same store, that’s a waste of manpower, rob three stores at the same time! ”

“Why not rob a gun store first? Get some handy weapons! Aren’t there as many America Gun Stores as pharmacies?!”

Seeing these outrageous, so-called “full-member villains” in the audience, Xiaomei didn’t know what to say.

Her values were strongly shaken!

Are gamers really such a wild, hardcore group of people?

“Don’t worry! It’s just a game! All fake!” Camille Victoria heartily reassured everyone.

“Isn’t it enough to always abide by the rules and be cautious in real life? Can’t we let ourselves go a little in the game? Playing games is for experiencing a completely different life! What’s the point otherwise?”

This speech did touch everyone.

After all, everyone had physical disabilities in reality, and they always had to be careful and cautious in life, worrying about other people’s strange gazes, making their lives relatively restrained.

Now that they’re in a virtual world, having regained a complete body, surrounded by friends with similar experiences, it’s okay to let loose a bit, right?

Camille Victoria saw everyone wavering and didn’t give them more time to hesitate and think. She immediately led everyone into action.

“So, let’s go – rob the gun store!” Camille Victoria confidently began to arrange tactics.

“I checked the place during the closed beta! Less than 800 meters in a straight line from the amusement park, there’s a gun store! There’s only one employee in the store, so two of us will go in first, pretending to be customers buying guns. As soon as we’ve bought guns and bullets, we’ll rob the store!”

Camille Victoria added: “If the money we steal is enough, then the mission is over. If not enough, then we’ll all have a weapon and quickly plunder the surrounding shops, then retreat rapidly, and rush into the amusement park!”

“But store employees can also get guns, right?” Xiaomei worried, “What if the employee fights back? Do we have to shoot?”

Obviously, this gentle girl still had some mental obstacles to overcome.

Camille Victoria waved her hand nonchalantly, “Leave it to me! During the closed beta, I went on a killing spree, my hands stained with blood! A mere gun store employee is not worth mentioning! ”

Camille Victoria looked around and easily found a fire cabinet. She stylishly side-stepped and kicked it.

With a “bang,” the glass shattered and fell with a crash.

Camille Victoria casually patted her pants and reached in to grab the brand -new fire axe.

“What are you doing with the axe?” Xiaomei was startled and quickly rushed over: “Did you hurt your leg?”

“It’s fine, in the game world, our bodies are tough and not easily hurt. Even if we are hurt, most of the pain will be converted into an impact, leaving only a tiny bit, so there’s no need to fear pain in the game world.”

“As for the axe.” Camille Victoria shook the axe in her hand and walked over to a row of locked bicycles by the side of the road, “Of course, it’s to get transportation for everyone!”

After saying that, she swung the axe down on the bike lock, breaking it.

Without stopping, Camille Victoria continued to chop the lock of another bicycle.

The eight group members were dumbfounded, especially Xiaomei, who never expected Camille Victoria to have such a hardcore side!

Even the audience of the live broadcast had their mouths wide open, but the source of their surprise was different from the group members:

“How are you so skilled at this?!”

“During the two days of closed beta, what on earth did you do?!”

“Bicycle thief!”

“There’s no way to make a living by working a regular job, the only way to survive is by stealing bicycles.”

“Why does no one want to complain about all these fire axes everywhere?”

“A lion leading ninety-nine sheep can defeat a sheep leading ninety-nine lions.

Camille Victoria, I have faith in your robbery plan!”

“Alright, we’ll call you Big Sister Camille Victoria from now on!”

Camille Victoria didn’t pay attention to the comments in her live broadcast room, and instead excitedly told everyone to get on their bikes and prepare to leave.

However, things weren’t going smoothly—three people didn’t know how to ride a bike. They had all experienced accidents at a young age, which resulted in the loss of some of their limbs, so they had never learned to ride a bike.

In the end, Xiaomei coordinated and had the three of them sit on the back seat of their companions’ bikes.

Finally, with everything ready, Camille Victoria led the way on her bike at the front of the group.

She wasn’t in a rush, as minor crimes like bicycle theft did not attract police attention.

After all, it was a game, and Lincoln still had to take care of the players’ game experience.

Minor violations of public security laws, or fighting and killing with gangsters, didn’t bother the police at all, and players could act freely.

A group of ordinarily law-abiding gaming novices, aged 18 to 48, set off on a leisurely bicycle ride under Camille Victoria’s leadership, intending to commit robbery.

To the audience, they seemed more like a group going for a spring outing than a robbery.

Before long, the “spring outing squad” arrived at the gun shop.

The storefront was small, with only enough room for two people to enter and exit at the same time, and it even looked a bit shabby from the outside.

Camille Victoria got off her bike with ease, “Xiaomei and I will go in and distract the employee while the rest of you wait outside. After I take care of the employee, you all can come in and choose your weapons!”

Entering the shop to look at guns went smoothly.

Although the audience in Camille Victoria’s live broadcast room was chatting casually, Lincoln, who was also watching, couldn’t help but want to laugh.

In this virtual city, there are more than 130 gun shops. It is impossible for Cloud Dream to design each one separately, as there would not be enough manpower.

So only 10 of these shops have special missions, NPCs, and unique guns and items.

As for the other gun shops, although they may have different appearances and decorations, they are fundamentally the same – selling the same products and having the same type of employee characters.

If Camille Victoria had targeted one of these typical shops, the simple behavior-pattern-designed employees couldn’t stop her.

Even if she hadn’t leveled up and didn’t have any specialized skills, she could have succeeded as long as she was careful.

But, unluckily, this unassuming gun shop happened to be one of those ten special ones!

At this point, Camille Victoria had no idea.

She picked a revolver that caught her eye and tried it out, feeling that it fit her hand quite well.

She then said nonchalantlv. “I’ll take this one and a box of bullets.”

The employee handed her the bullets, “Smith & Wesson M1917, officially named M1917 .45 caliber American revolver modified type, priced at 550 US dollars. Adding a box of bullets is 25 dollars, but I’ll give you a discount of 5 dollars, totaling 570 dollars.”

“Huh?” Camille Victoria was taken aback as she didn’t have that much money…

Her plan to buy weapons before robbing had gone bankrupt at the first step.

Having no choice, she had to improvise and skip the payment step, moving straight into robbery mode!

The young employee calmly opened the cash register, ready to accept payment. But when he looked up, he saw the female customer loading bullets into the revolver!

He immediately sensed something was wrong and instantly leaped into action, vaulting over the waist-high counter and lunging at Camille Victoria with all his might!

Caught off guard while loading the bullets, Camille Victoria didn’t have time to react.

Xiaomei, who had been nervously watching Camille Victoria load the bullets and worrying about what was about to happen, yelled, “Camille Victoria—”

Before she could finish her warning, the employee had already tackled Camille Victoria to the ground, gripping her revolver tightly.

“Ah!” Camille Victoria, who had been tackled to the floor, was startled and struggled frantically.

But Camille Victoria was no match for the employee in terms of strength!

She was quickly subdued, and she could feel the revolver being yanked from her grip!

Xiaomei, rushing over to help, worriedly shouted.

And just at that crucial moment— “Bang!”

The gun went off!
