In the police car.
Chen Ke, who excelled at high-speed chases, was driving.
Han Fei was on the phone with officers at the police station, inquiring about Xu Mo's current location.
"Report Xu Mo's current position."
"He hasn't moved yet. The surveillance shows he just got in the car but hasn't driven off. You're arriving at the perfect time," the officer replied.
Hearing this, Han Fei became excited.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the car's radio.
"Xu Mo is still at the original location and hasn't left yet. Let's block several intersections separately to form a encirclement. We'll surround him and catch him like a fish in a barrel!"
This time, the police mobilized over a dozen cars and several dozen officers.
They even had Chen Ke, skilled in high-speed pursuits, leading the chase.
The chances of catching Xu Mo were very high.
With over a dozen cars blocking the way, Xu Mo wouldn't be able to escape no matter how capable he was.
Unless he could make the car fly!
Of course, that was impossible. A car is a car, not an airplane. How could it possibly fly?
...
Just as he got in the car, before he could drive away,
Xu Mo heard the sound of police sirens approaching from not far away.
And judging by the sound, there were quite a few police cars coming this time, probably around fifteen or twenty.
"Xu Mo, there are police cars, and it sounds like quite a few... Maybe we shouldn't drive. Let's get out and run. There are a lot of people here, it'll be easier to escape by abandoning the car and blending into the crowd than by driving," Zhou Qiaoqiao suggested after hearing the sirens.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's idea wasn't wrong.
The sound of the sirens indicated that quite a few police cars were coming.
Escaping by car was clearly not a good choice; they could easily be surrounded by police cars.
At that point, even with wings, they couldn't escape.
Abandoning the car was actually a good option.
Plus, the pedestrian street was crowded. If they blended in, the police wouldn't be able to easily pinpoint their location.
If this had happened before, Xu Mo would have certainly agreed with Zhou Qiaoqiao.
Abandon the car, blend into the crowd, cause a commotion, and then escape in the chaos.
But now, after Xu Mo had obtained the "Vehicle Master" reward,
He felt that keeping the car was a better choice than abandoning it!
Just fifteen or twenty police cars?
Xu Mo was confident he could outrun them in the car.
"No need. There's no point in abandoning the car. Just fasten your seatbelts, I'll shake them off," Xu Mo said as he fastened his own seatbelt.
It was still the same car, still the same steering wheel.
But thanks to the "Vehicle Master" reward,
Xu Mo suddenly had the feeling he could make the car fly! Even though it was an SUV...
Just as he started the engine, before he could drive off, three police cars came speeding towards him from the front.
Notably, these three cars were driving side by side, completely blocking the not-so-wide road ahead.
Driving forward would mean crashing into these cars.
As for reversing...
Backing up and turning around would take time!
And the officers in these three police cars certainly wouldn't just watch idly as Xu Mo tried to reverse and turn around.
Moreover, judging by the volume of the sirens,
The remaining police cars were likely approaching quickly from other directions.
Clearly, they were trying to block all the exits.
They wanted to trap Xu Mo like a fish in a barrel.
Seeing this, the livestream viewers all felt nervous for Xu Mo.
"Damn, is Xu Mo going to get caught?"
"I don't think he can escape. Han Fei is trying to trap Xu Mo, catch him like a fish in a barrel."
"Xu Mo was too rash. He should have abandoned the car and run earlier. If he had run then, he'd be lost in the crowd by now, and the police wouldn't be able to find him quickly."
"Yeah, driving a car makes him too big a target. What's the point of trying to escape like that?"
"..."
Just when everyone thought Xu Mo was in dire straits,
He suddenly floored the accelerator, heading straight for the three police cars blocking his way.
From his posture, it seemed he was going to forcefully crash through the three cars blocking the road!
Fifty meters...
Thirty meters...
Twenty meters...
Ten meters...
Xu Mo still hadn't stopped.
Not only had he not stopped, but he was accelerating.
Police officers: "???"
Viewers: "???"
He's gone mad, absolutely mad!
You're not even a real fugitive, what's the big deal if you get caught?
Is it worth risking your life?
The officers in the three cars felt their hair stand on end.
Without a word, they opened their doors and jumped out of their cars.
Xu Mo might not care about his life, but they cared about theirs!
At this speed, a head-on collision would be fatal, even with airbags.
Meanwhile,
Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingxuan, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin all screamed in unison.
Xu Mo's reckless behavior had truly frightened them.
"Ah!"
"Xu Mo, don't... It's not necessary, really not necessary!"
"We're not real fugitives, even if we're caught we'd just be eliminated from the show, it's not worth risking our lives!"
"Brake, brake! We're about to crash!"
Just as Xu Mo's car was about to crash into the three police cars,
At this critical moment,
Relying on muscle memory, Xu Mo performed a 180-degree drift at extremely high speed.
The sharp sound of tires scraping against the ground suddenly rang out.
Due to the intense friction, smoke rose from where the tires met the ground.
A streak of black tire marks was left on the ground.
Throughout all this, Xu Mo never let go of the accelerator.
The engine remained in high-speed operation.
He forcefully turned around.
The tires briefly lost traction, spinning on the ground for a few rotations.
When the spinning tires regained traction, the car shot straight ahead.
Xu Mo's car was now facing the direction its rear had been pointing before.
This direction wasn't yet blocked by police cars.
Taking advantage of this unblocked path, Xu Mo floored it and sped away.
The livestream viewers were all shocked.
"What the hell!? Is that even a way to turn around??"
"Was Xu Mo an F1 driver before!?"
"It was so close just now, how the hell did he not crash?"
"If this was a sports car pulling off such a maneuver I could accept it, but this is an SUV! Can this thing even drift? And a 180-degree drift on the spot without flipping over??"
"I suspect we've been deceived, this can't be a live stream! This must be pre-recorded! That drift has to be special effects!"
"Watching 'Fast and Furious' is just for fun, for real street racing you gotta watch Xu Mo!"
"..."
It wasn't just the livestream viewers who were dumbfounded.
The police officers who had witnessed Xu Mo's godlike maneuver were equally stunned.
Some officers were even rubbing their eyes,
Thinking they must have been seeing things.
In the car,
"Thrilling!" An Youyi exclaimed, her face flushed with excitement.
"Xu Mo, what exactly do you do? I suspect you've driven F1 before!" Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at Xu Mo, still recovering from the shock.
Before Xu Mo could refute, Li Jiaxin chimed in,
"Forget F1... even F22 pilots don't fly like that!"
...
Chen Ke, who had watched helplessly as Xu Mo escaped, was dumbfounded.
"How the hell did he manage to escape!?"

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
