Chapter 1304: Chapter 729: Phantom Thief Jack (Part 2)
….
Dorothy wrote tens of thousands of words effortlessly; she was a professional at criticizing herself.
However, she didn’t hide a thing and practically listed all her reference materials for creating the White Dragon Warship. As long as someone could thoroughly study these materials and comprehend them, reproducing a White Dragon Warship wouldn’t be too difficult.
Well, it really wasn’t that hard, right? After all, the White Dragon Warship was just a toy made from leftover construction materials, and its performance was on par with the most trashy common warships in “World of Warships.” Dorothy couldn’t even be bothered to look at it twice back in the game.
Alas, if only there were enough materials, she’d really want to upgrade the White Dragon Warship, transforming it into something new. It wouldn’t have to be a legendary warship, but at least it should achieve the level of a battle-tested warship.
In short, she had quite the sensation nitpicking herself, eloquently writing tens of thousands of words of critique, perfectly showcasing the essence of a keyboard king directing the realm.
And names carry weight, trees cast shadows. Thanks to the influence of Carmine of True Red on the Magic Network, it took mere minutes for true fans and detractors to gather, quickly raising these posts to towering heights.
[Phantom of the Opera: Master Ball capture, but Sister Chi, just this once I can’t support your view. I think this warship works.]
[Red Family Army’s Expedition: Double Master Ball capture of the boss and Miss Phantom.]
[True Black: You keyboard king know nothing about warships. Crafting a standard-performance warship from a pile of materials, isn’t that absurd enough? What more do you need flying broomsticks for?]
[Keyboard Warrior Biss: Exactly, exactly. I’ve tolerated you keyboard warrior for long enough. Give me your address, I’ll come to challenge you offline.]
[Harmless Magician: The person above sure isn’t planning to send a cannon from thousands of miles away; I heard your abacus beads in the Venus City Grand Museum.]
…….
In short, the topic heated up.
As for Dorothy herself, she didn’t really care. She had already had her fun and moved on, browsing through other posts in Venus City with five lines of thought running at full speed, surfing at light speed.
It seems Little Six might be coming soon, which should further improve surfing efficiency.
However, Venus City truly lives up to its name as the capital of arts, the entertainment hub of the Witch World. The local forum is filled with celebrity gossip, providing the homebody witch with plenty of amusing, albeit not very nutritious, fruit.
The only thing that piqued Dorothy’s curiosity was the news that topped the hot search headlines.
[Qi Trembling Cold: Phantom Thief Jack has sent out a notice again, his target this time is Venus City’s museum artifact—the Demon Lord’s Love Letter.]
She hadn’t expected that even in the Witch World, there would be people playing the role of a phantom thief, a character full of mysterious charm reminiscent of someone with a case of second-year syndrome.
She’d seen plenty of such characters in the various art pieces of her previous life, and they were quite dazzling.
But those were phantom thieves from the Mortal World, while being a phantom thief in the high magic world of witches would be quite challenging.
After all, magic is an unreasonable thing; no matter how skillful you are at theft or how stealthy you are in hiding, a true master could use divination, bypassing all reasoning processes, and catch you as if by cheating.
Just like how detective novels don’t include supernatural elements, in a world where magic serves as a cheating force, detectives relying solely on logic seem rather clownish.
Hence, if you want to be a phantom thief who roams free in this world, you either need unmatched skills that render you uncatchable even if your location is foreseen, or you must possess strong anti-divination abilities to keep your whereabouts untraceable.
Regardless of the possibility, it remains the realm of masters.
Yeah, to be a phantom thief in the Witch World, you’d need to start at peak capability and might even be some bored sage letting loose.
Wow, it’s really the masters who know how to have fun.
Dorothy recalled her self-deprecating hype and compared it to the master’s stunt of having the whole world play along, realizing the stark contrast.
Darn, she had to admit she lost this time.
“Phantom thief?”
Madeline and Audrey heard the homebody witch’s inquiry and were momentarily taken aback. They quickly responded and pulled out their spellbooks to check the hot search headlines.
“Wow, I didn’t expect the phantom thief legend to be true. I always thought it was an urban legend. My sister and I adored her when we were young.”
Little Fox’s eyes sparkled, seemingly finding it exciting, and the Fox Doll on her shoulder spoke in an excited tone.
Not only Audrey, but even Madeline was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting this childhood tale to turn out real.
“Oh, Phantom Thief Jack? I saw Phantom Thief Jack’s opera on the grand stage when I was little.”
Senior Mia, nearby, joined the conversation, a nostalgic look on her face.
Dorothy: “…..”
Aw, come on, how come you all know about it, and I’m the only bumpkin unaware?
The homebody witch felt annoyed and flustered. She was indeed a country girl from nowhere who hadn’t witnessed the marvels of the big city and naturally didn’t understand big city trends.
Of course, she’d been too absorbed in her studies her whole life to have time for these entertainment programs.
She glanced over to Ruthfiel beside her, relieved to find Miss Fallen Angel also appeared somewhat at a loss.
