Taking advantage of the time when Yang Jingxuan and Zhou Qiaoqiao went to tidy up their stuff,
Xu Mo took the car keys and came to the car at the door.
Opening the car door, he put all the gold in the car into the system space that had expanded to 50 cubic meters.
When getting out of the car, he also threw the car keys into the car.
Xu Mo naturally did not intend to drive this car away.
Instead, he planned to just leave it here.
There were two reasons for doing this.
One was that running away with a car was too conspicuous of a target.
Two was that, after all, this car was borrowed by him (although it was 'borrowed' at knifepoint),
Not returning a borrowed car was somewhat unjustifiable.
Leaving the car here at the welfare institution's side could be considered returning the car.
After all, the police and the tracking team would sooner or later regain control of the monitoring that Zhou Qiaoqiao had hacked, and then come over.
They would definitely be very happy to help Xu Mo return the car.
...
The first two episodes of this show already had decent popularity.
Not to mention the many flashy maneuvers challenger Xu Mo pulled off in this episode.
The popularity of the show would only be higher.
Especially the bank robbery part.
And this wasn't even a real bank robbery in the true sense.
To be precise, it was some big shot hiring Xu Mo to test the security of the bank.
The gold bars Xu Mo took were considered his reward, the reward for helping the bank find loopholes.
At this time, major banks had already started strengthening bank security according to the loopholes Xu Mo found.
Robbing a bank originally had huge risks, and the chance of success was astronomically low.
With Xu Mo messing it up like this, after the banks enhanced their defenses, it became even harder to rob.
It basically eliminated other criminals' ideas of robbing banks.
The matter of banks enhancing security also made the news and went viral online.
It attracted widespread attention online.
Many melon-eating netizens who saw the news and trends were already enthusiastically discussing it.
"Why are banks enhancing security for no reason? Isn't this a waste of money? What's this about eliminating crime, as if someone could successfully rob a bank right now?"
"Bro, don't say that. Someone really did successfully rob a bank, taking away 70 kilograms of gold bars worth over 20 million. "
"???? Who's so awesome? Robbed so much gold? Has this guy been caught?"
"What catch? Can't catch him at all, and he robbed the bank legally, even if caught nothing would happen."
"Legal bank robbery, what the hell is that?? This can be legal?"
"I recommend you guys go watch Sky Eye Action. Watch it and you'll know why banks are enhancing security. That Xu Mo is truly awesome!"
"I can testify, I watched this episode from start to finish, Xu Mo is indeed awesome, watching made me want to bear his monkey!"
"WTF, aren't you a dude? What monkey could you bear??"
"Men can bear children too! I'm mad, when will men stand up!!"
"F*ck... because of this Xu Mo, there's one less way to make money. Banks were already hard to rob, and they f*cking enhance security! Damn!"
"Who said there's less way to make money? I see you as a walking 500,000! (p≧w≦q)"
"Still thinking of robbing a bank? Isn't that exactly a walking 500,000?"
"..."
In a certain sense, the show's goal of crime prevention seemed to have been achieved.
Being able to prevent crime means it's a very meaningful show!
Although the method of preventing crime was different from what the crew had in mind.
They originally wanted to showcase the police's means and efficiency in catching people, to deter would-be criminals. But who knew...
This Xu Mo was as slippery as a monkey, basically uncatchable!
But uncatchable or not.
The result was the same.
Crime was prevented.
Since the results were the same, the process didn't matter!
This was just like coding.
As long as the code runs, who cares if there are bugs?
Also because the matter of banks enhancing security made the news and went viral,
more and more people got to know about this show, and the ratings soared again.
At this time, the ratings had reached an exaggerated level.
It had clearly become the hottest show at present.
To ordinary viewers, this was just an interesting show to watch.
But to celebrities and internet influencers,
this was not just a show.
It was an enormous traffic pool!
They all wanted to squeeze in, all wanted to take part in this show.
After all, a show with such high popularity, being able to get in meant huge benefits.
Not to mention, at least it allowed more people to get to know you.
Being paid attention to by people meant you now had traffic.
In this day and age, traffic was money.
With traffic, monetization was simple.
Of course, people who wanted to be on the show were not just celebrities.
There were also some rich second generation kids who thought the show looked fun and wanted to spend money to participate.
Another portion were famous people from other fields, hackers, private detectives and so on.
They wanted to be on the show not for anything else.
Mainly to spar with Xu Mo, or even use Xu Mo as a stepping stone to gain fame.
...
Because at this time, the people who wanted to be on the show were just too many.
So the calls kept coming in nonstop to Song Yixue, the show's director.
Before she could hang up one call, the next one came in.
"Hello... Miss Li, you want to be on our show too? And you don't want an appearance fee? You'd even pay us?"
"Miss An... you want to be on our show too? Bring 30 million funding to join the crew??"
"Yes, speaking... you're a hacker? Want to spar hacking skills with Xu Mo? You'll pay a 50 million registration fee!?"
"..."
The people calling in were like crazy.
One should know.
Appearing on a show was generally for the appearance fee.
To put it bluntly it was for the money that they'd appear on a show.
Who knew this time it was reversed.
These people didn't care about appearance fees at all.
They even wanted to pay the crew.
Throwing out numbers like 20-30 million, 30-50 million was common.
A smile appeared on Song Yixue's face.
Not long ago she was still getting headaches because of the huge amount Xu Mo robbed from the bank this time.
After all, the show's budget wasn't something to be spent so lavishly either. What show would invest 10 million in a random person off the street, then invest another 26 million?
But looking at it now.
That amount of money was nothing!
Big shots with funding lining up to join the crew.
Easily making their money back in minutes.
Not to mention, the popularity of the show now was unbelievable, and they could get advertisement sponsorship until their hands went soft.
Thanks to Xu Mo.
Not only did they not lose this time.
They earned big, hugely earned, directly struck rich!
Of course, not just anyone could randomly join the show.
Even with money it wouldn't work, after all, there were not few people who wanted to pay to be on the show now.
For these people, the crew still needed to screen them.
