The cliff on one side of Steve's villa was nearly vertical at ninety degrees, almost straight up.
Moreover, on this cliff, there weren't many protruding rocks or trees where a rope could be hung.
The difficulty of Climbing up was truly extraordinary.
Clearly, when Steve bought this villa, he had also seriously studied this cliff.
Even a professional climber would find it difficult to climb this cliff without protection.
And an expert with such skills clearly did not exist in Charlie's team.
Otherwise, given Steve's caution and prudence, he wouldn't have left this cliff as the only spot not blocked by high walls and high-voltage electricity.
Standing at the foot of the cliff, Hunter looked up at it, frowning as he thought for a long time.
Even though he had a cheat and his physical constitution was nearly twice that of an ordinary person...
And Hunter had also triggered the Climbing skill...
But this cliff, which was nearly ninety degrees vertical and had almost no footholds...
Even he felt his scalp tingle just looking at it.
With a height of nearly fifty meters and no way to use safety protection...
A single misstep, and even if he didn't die from the fall, he might end up with broken legs, severe injuries, or even paraplegia.
But if he didn't go this way, Steve's villa was protected by high walls nearly three meters tall.
On top of that were high-voltage power grids, as well as dense surveillance and guard protection.
Even with a complete team, Charlie would have to use a lot of effort and means to force his way into Steve's villa.
As for Hunter himself, he certainly couldn't do it.
Therefore, the cliff side was undoubtedly the best shortcut.
Even though it was very dangerous.
"It seems I need to properly level up my Climbing skill."
"And while I'm at it, I'll boost my various attributes too."
Over the next two weeks, Hunter spent almost all his time in a state of busyness.
Charlie hadn't taken any action yet; he just frequently took Slater to the vicinity of Steve's villa to observe in secret for a while.
He even saw that once, even Lyle and a young Black man were brought along.
Clearly, Charlie Clock, the master gold thief...
Was also still figuring out how to break through the defense system of Steve's villa.
And how to safely take out the ton of gold bars hidden in his villa in the shortest possible time.
Thanks to this, Hunter also gained two weeks of precious time.
Every morning and evening, he went out for a one-hour morning run and night run.
During the day, he would also take a few hours to either put on a disguise and tail Steve to monitor his villa...
Or tail Slater to gather more information about her...
Or take the initiative to contact Lyle and learn computer knowledge...
Or go practice Shooting, Boxing, and go swimming.
As for the nights, Hunter also had many arrangements.
But among the skills he prioritized upgrading during these two weeks...
Without a doubt, it was Climbing.
In the blink of an eye, two weeks passed.
In the past two weeks, several of Hunter's skills had leveled up one after another.
He had once again gained 17 free attribute points, all of which he distributed evenly among his various attributes.
Now, among Hunter's five major attributes, his highest, intelligence, had reached 23.
As for the other four attributes, strength and agility had both reached 21 points, while constitution and endurance were both at 20 points.
Hunter's five major attributes had finally all reached more than twice the average of an ordinary adult male.
Along with this, his private space had increased to 71 cubic meters, growing larger and larger.
However, although his strength had improved rapidly...
Hunter was now becoming more and more anxious.
Because as the levels of the skills he had triggered increased, the experience points required had become more and more.
Hunter wasn't clear yet on what the maximum level for his skills could be.
However, over the past month or so, as he continued to explore his cheat code...
Hunter had long discovered that the skills in the proficiency system...
Required not only a massive amount of time for practice to level up further...
But also a vast amount of resources consumed during the practice process.
And all of this, in the end, required money.
A lot, a lot of money!
But in these two weeks, aside from Old Parker's side...
Who had arranged another side job for Hunter—dismantling a stolen car, which earned him a small profit of five thousand dollars...
He had no other income!
And during this time, Hunter's expenses to increase his skill experience points were beyond imagination.
Watching the money in his pocket nearly empty out...
The irritability in Hunter's heart was inevitably accumulating.
In a paradise for the rich like America, being without money was simply impossible.
So, Hunter knew that if he couldn't quickly secure the gold from Steve's side...
As a transmigrator, he would have to find a job and continue working for money.
"Phew, time to head out!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, inside the apartment.
Hunter made himself a delicious dinner, and after finishing it...
He organized a set of newly purchased rock climbing equipment in the apartment once more, then stored it into his private space.
He then took out all the prepared tools one by one, checking them again to ensure they were safe.
Doing this kind of thing for the first time, Hunter felt both excited and apprehensive at this moment.
With an incredibly excited heart, he was ready to set off.
Opening the door, he had just stepped out of the apartment.
Hunter's expression changed instantly.
In the hallway of the sixth floor of the old apartment, two burly white men in leather jackets were standing there.
Both men had tattoos on their arms, and their eyes were cold and fierce.
One look and you could tell they were likely gang members.
The moment Hunter opened the door and came out, the two suspected gang members immediately looked his way.
However, their gaze only lingered on Hunter for a moment before withdrawing.
But Hunter still keenly felt that there were other eyes still watching him.
"Is it Léon?"
On the sixth floor of this old apartment, all four apartments were rented out.
He lived in 6A, and 6B was rented by an elderly couple.
6C was Matilda's home, and 6D was suspected to be rented by Léon.
However, this cool hitman, who seemed to have some communication barriers, rarely went out.
Hunter had been living in this apartment for nearly a month now.
He had only seen the man a few times; when he took the initiative to greet him, Léon would only look at him coldly, at most giving a nod as a response.
So much so that Hunter, who wanted to become familiar with the hitman...
Hadn't even managed to have a single conversation with Léon yet.
Realizing it should be Léon observing him in the shadows...
Hunter didn't show any abnormal reaction!
He knew Léon was likely alerted by these two gang members who had suddenly barged into the apartment building.
With physical attributes already over twice that of an ordinary person, Hunter could even faintly hear the commotion currently inside Matilda's home...
