"Haha, these two unlucky fools! They haven't even earned a penny yet, but they've already lost 3,500 each."
"What a pair of suckers, they're like human ATMs!"
"You guys don't get it. This is called high-risk, high-reward. They're gambling big - if they hadn't spent that 3,500, they'd be caught immediately and lose out on the 200,000 prize."
"Gamble my ass! In previous episodes, apart from Xu Mo, no one's lasted a whole day. These two are definitely getting caught, that 3,500 is as good as gone."
"..."
School surveillance room:
Han Fei hadn't placed all his hopes on the students.
While waiting for news, he was also keeping an eye on the school's surveillance footage, covering all bases.
He occasionally glanced at the time on his phone.
Almost an hour had passed.
He couldn't help but feel puzzled.
In an hour, not a single student had encountered those two 'fugitives'?
It didn't make sense.
After all, there were tens of thousands of students at the school.
Those tempted by the 1,000 yuan reward were certainly not few in number.
Even being conservative, there should be at least 10,000.
Plus, it was the weekend, when students had the most free time.
With over 10,000 students wandering around campus, they should have found the two 'fugitives' quickly.
Not having a single lead was very unusual!
Han Fei even began to wonder if Xu Mo had somehow beaten them to it again.
He couldn't sit still any longer.
"Little Liu, keep an eye on the monitors. The rest of you, come with me. Let's go out and search ourselves."
With that, Han Fei led a group of officers out of the surveillance room.
Once outside, they spread out and began trying their luck around the campus.
...
After their previous two close calls, the two 'fugitives' had become increasingly cautious.
They always skirted around people, not even daring to lift their heads while walking.
Ten minutes later, seeing what lay ahead, the two breathed a sigh of relief. The south gate of the school was not far in front of them. Once they were out, they'd be much safer.
At the very least, there wouldn't be so many students trying to turn them in for the reward.
Thinking this, they quickened their pace, striding towards the school gate.
"Let's find somewhere deserted to hide out for the night. This time, I'm not listening to you no matter what. Coming to the school was a mistake!"
"How is this my fault? I didn't expect the search team to use this tactic. I thought with so many people around, it'd be harder for them to find us. Besides, you didn't object at first!"
"How is it not your fault? If you hadn't suggested coming to the school, would any of this have happened?"
"Come on, are you being reasonable at all?"
"..."
As soon as they exited the school gate, the two started arguing.
Just then, one of their phones started ringing.
He took out his phone and saw it was an unknown number.
Thinking it was a spam call, he hung up without a second thought.
Almost immediately after hanging up, before he could even put the phone back in his pocket, it rang again.
It was the same unknown number.
"Who is it?" he muttered, then answered the call: "Hello..."
"Is this Mr. Gou Hao?" a male voice came from the other end.
This familiar opening line.
If it wasn't someone selling houses or cars, it had to be insurance.
"Sorry, I'm not buying anything," Gou Hao said, ready to hang up and block the number.
However, the next sentence from the other end made him completely abandon the idea of hanging up.
"I'm not selling anything. This is Xu Mo, I'm a challenger in the Sky Eye Action show like you. Interested in cooperating?"
The caller was actually Xu Mo.
The Xu Mo who had evaded capture until now!
Gou Hao was excited.
He had watched the livestream for a long time and was well aware of Xu Mo's capabilities.
On the phone, Xu Mo said he wanted to collaborate.
This meant he could hitch a ride on Xu Mo's big ship!
More importantly, it meant the search team wouldn't be able to catch them.
What excited him was the show's rules - hiding for one day meant a 200,000 yuan reward.
Two days, 400,000; three days, 600,000; four days, 800,000... By his calculations, he could make 6 million in a month!
That was a fortune many people couldn't achieve in a lifetime!
If it was just him and his partner, lasting even one day would be a struggle.
But with Xu Mo? It would be a breeze!
He had already started planning how to spend his reward.
First, buy a house, then a car, then marry a beautiful college girl, and live a life of shameless luxury.
"Hehehe..." Thinking of this, Gou Hao laughed from the bottom of his heart.
An uncontrollable smile spread across his face.
Seeing him grinning like an idiot, his companion tugged at him urgently.
"What the hell are you laughing at? Possessed? Come on, let's get out of this cursed place!"
Gou Hao, yanked back to reality from his daydream of a beautiful future, rolled his eyes in annoyance.
He pointed at his phone.
"Shut up, it's Xu Mo calling. Xu Mo! We've hit the jackpot, brother!"
Hearing Gou Hao's words, his companion also got excited: "Xu Mo? The Xu Mo from Sky Eye Action? Holy shit!"
"So, Mr. Gou, have you thought it over? Interested in working together?" Xu Mo asked on the other end of the line.
"Yes, yes, absolutely!" Gou Hao nodded vigorously. "No need to be so formal with the 'Mr.' stuff. Just call me Little Gou!"
Xu Mo: "..."
He'd never encountered such a request before!
But since that's what the other party wanted, he decided to oblige.
"Little Gou, are you guys at Jiangcheng University right now?"
Seeing how Xu Mo immediately knew their hiding place, Gou Hao's admiration for him grew even stronger.
Look at that! Look at that!
He even knows where they are, how amazing!
"Yes, yes, we just came out of the south gate. We're still at the entrance, haven't left yet. Where are you? We'll come meet you."
"The south gate, huh." Xu Mo thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, follow the road to the left of the school gate. Keep going straight for a few hundred meters until you see a small pub. I'll be waiting for you in the alley next to the pub."
"Got it, we're on our way. Please wait for us!"
After ending the call, Gou Hao excitedly tugged at his companion.
"Xu Mo told us to follow the road on the left and keep going straight. He's waiting for us in an alley next to a small pub up ahead! We're saved, we're saved, hahaha!"
At that moment, he suddenly felt that the 3,500 they had spent earlier in the school was worth it.
He was even grateful that he had unhesitatingly paid to get out of trouble.
Otherwise, they would certainly have been caught by now, missing the chance to join forces with Xu Mo!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
