That guy was named Linus, born into a family of pickpockets.
His father was a notorious thief, said to have honed an amazing skill of sleight of hand.
Anything on someone else's person, as long as Linus's father wanted to steal it, he could steal it without even letting the person notice.
And Linus, although he hadn't yet reached his father's level, also possessed a set of increasingly refined theft skills.
Looking at the guy in front of him, Rusty Ryan.
A gambling expert skilled at cheating, and also a con man with extreme initiative and excellent eloquence.
Hunter boasted that his current gambling skill was definitely more than a level or two higher than Rusty Ryan's.
But that Card Skill, which could now achieve a nearly one hundred percent win rate, actually relied more on eyesight, memory, card playing techniques, and the control and analysis of human psychology.
Hunter didn't know how to cheat, which meant cheating at the card table.
And this, undoubtedly, was also a skill he was very covetous of.
Hunter didn't have the idea of being a pickpocket, and even less did he want to be some God of Gamblers.
But he had the Proficiency System; for every skill he activated, once it was upgraded to the maximum level in the future.
In the whole process, Hunter could obtain a total of fifteen free attributes, fifteen cubic meters of private space, and could even increase his lifespan by one year.
This is not to mention the various magical enhancements that the passive effects of those skills could add to him after reaching the maximum level.
Moreover, Hunter suddenly remembered something else.
As a movie fan in his previous life, he had seen quite a few movies.
Now that the plot and characters of Oceans Eleven had already appeared in this world.
Then, the plot of Ocean's 8, which belonged to the same story line as the Oceans Eleven series, was very likely to exist as well.
Thinking of a certain female character who appeared in that plot whom he liked very much in his previous life.
Hunter quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and soon made a decision.
"Okay!"
He continued to look at Rusty Ryan calmly and nodded slowly.
Rusty Ryan probably didn't expect that he could make an appointment with him so smoothly.
Hearing this, the somewhat fake smile on his face became a bit more genuine.
"Let's go, there's a bar over there, my treat, let's go over there and chat."
Hunter nodded and followed behind Rusty.
Not long after, he was brought to a nearby bar.
Perhaps because Las Vegas was a tourist city, some of the bars here were not the same as what most people imagined.
Rusty sat down at a table placed outside the bar, then reached out and snapped his fingers.
Soon a waiter from the bar walked over, "Sir, what would you like to drink?"
"A glass of brandy, with ice..."
"By the way, bring some food over... I get hungry quickly..."
"What would you like?"
The latter sentence was obviously addressed to Hunter by Rusty.
"Do you have cocktails?"
Hunter glanced at the waiter and asked casually.
He wasn't used to drinking foreign liquor, and he treated cocktails as drinks.
After all, with Hunter's current physical fitness, which was more than five times that of an ordinary adult male, ordinary alcohol wouldn't be able to get him drunk.
It wasn't something that could be done with just two or three pounds!
The waiter heard this and immediately replied: "Yes, sir."
Hunter nodded, "Bring a Margaret!"
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
The waiter left quickly. Hunter looked at Rusty, seeing that he wanted to speak.
He took the initiative to say: "Aren't you going to have your friends come over?"
"You have been watching me for so long, it can't be just because you want to chat with me, right?"
Rusty was stunned, his face changing slightly.
He clearly didn't expect that the three of them had been so careful, yet they were still discovered by Hunter.
Seeing his calm and indifferent appearance, Rusty knew that this was no longer something that could be brushed off with a few words.
He had to stand up and wave to the distance.
"Hey, come over."
Seeing him wave, the Master Thief Danny Ocean, who was carefully hiding ten meters away and pretending to be a guest sitting at another table, and the young pickpocket Linus, were both stunned.
Danny reacted faster and was more experienced; he immediately realized that they should have been discovered.
So, he stood up and patted Linus on the shoulder.
"Let's go over too, the other party should have discovered us."
The two quickly came to the table of Hunter and Rusty. Danny smiled apologetically at Hunter and said: "Sorry."
Immediately, he pulled out a chair and sat down.
Linus followed suit, but this young pickpocket was obviously too immature right now.
Even after sitting down next to him, he looked restless.
Seeing that the three were together, Hunter took the initiative to say: "I am very curious, who are you people?"
Linus kept his mouth shut. After Danny and Rusty looked at each other.
Rusty said first: "Hi, my name is Rusty, I don't know how to address you?"
"Hunter!"
Hunter casually reported the English name of his current life.
Immediately before Rusty spoke again, he took the initiative to speak: "If you discovered my gambling skills and want to cooperate with me, then that is unnecessary."
"My interest in money isn't as great as you might imagine."
"Since you've come looking for me, you should know that I won several million us dollars at the Bellagio Casino a few days ago and simply gave it up."
... This was, of course, Hunter deliberately inflating his own worth in order to obtain more benefits.
Linus's eyes widened instantly, and the smile maintained on Danny's face froze.
Lattice, who was just about to speak, also opened his mouth slightly, but was temporarily silenced by Hunter's words.
In this world, there aren't many people who aren't greedy for money.
They didn't know if the words of the handsome Asian Youth in front of them were true or false.
Because just as he said, they indeed knew that Hunter had won five or six million us dollars at the Bellagio Casino a few days ago, yet had given it up.
But it was also him they investigated based on the chance encounters they had discovered over the past few days.
They suspected that Hunter had been constantly disguising himself and entering various major casinos over the past few days.
Although he always controlled his gambling skills, having both wins and losses,
after playing for an hour or two, he could take away rewards ranging from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand us dollars every time.
By a conservative estimate, over a few days, this guy had earned at least several million more us dollars in those Las Vegas casinos.
So for a moment, Master Thief Danny Ocean and the others, who had indeed discovered his talent and wanted to recruit him, didn't know how to speak up.
However, Master Thief Danny Ocean was no ordinary person either.
This time, in order to win back his ex-wife and take revenge on that casino tycoon Terry Benedict, he was willing to risk everything he had.
Right then, Danny Olsen spoke up without hesitation.
"Sir, I wonder if a reward of over ten million us dollars could persuade you to act in a play with us?"
