The successful capture of three fugitives brought Xu Mo the following rewards: ten doses of truth serum, Firearms Master, and forensic theory knowledge.
Truth serum: A drug that makes people tell the truth.
Just one injection, and they'll answer any question without hiding anything.
Firearms Master: Grants absolute gun sense and proficiency with all existing firearm models.
Absolute gun sense means being able to hit the target 100% of the time within a certain range, even without aiming, relying purely on intuition!
In simple terms, absolute gun sense is muscle memory developed through years of uninterrupted shooting practice.
Forensic theory knowledge: A skill for examining corpses, allowing one to obtain a wealth of information from bodies.
Xu Mo noticed that since the system upgrade, the rewards were quite different from before.
A large portion of them were skills needed by police officers.
Was this hinting at him to become a police officer?
It seemed so.
After all, before he was rewarded for outwitting the police, but now he got rewards for catching fugitives.
This was clearly the system suggesting Xu Mo develop in the direction of becoming a police officer.
Just as Xu Mo was lost in thought, Song Yixue's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly pulled him back to reality.
"Are you still standing there not running? The taxi driver you kidnapped has already driven into the police station. I estimate officers are on their way to arrest you now. If you don't run soon, it'll be too late."
"I don't want to run anymore. Let them arrest me, bring on the destruction!" Xu Mo finished his earlier half-spoken sentence: "I don't want to play anymore. I want to quit the show."
Xu Mo had been thinking about quitting the show for a while.
Mainly because the system had upgraded, and he couldn't get system rewards by outwitting the Investigation Team anymore.
Now, he could only get system rewards by catching fugitives.
During the live broadcast of the show, catching other participants pretending to be fugitives and handing them over to the police was one way to go.
But it was too troublesome. He'd have to catch fugitives while also avoiding being caught by the Investigation Team.
Multitasking like that, doing two things at once, but only getting one reward - it just wasn't worth it!
It would be better to quit the show and catch some petty thieves when he had time.
He could still get rewards by catching them and taking them to the police station.
Hearing that Xu Mo wanted to quit the show, Song Yixue's voice involuntarily rose several decibels.
"You want to quit!? Have... have you thought this through?"
It was well known that this was currently the hottest live streaming show.
And Xu Mo was the soul of this show.
Once Xu Mo quit, it basically meant the show's lifecycle was coming to an end.
As the show's executive director, Song Yixue naturally didn't want this to happen.
So, she wanted to try to persuade Xu Mo.
But Xu Mo had already made up his mind. He was determined to quit.
"I've thought it through. I'm quitting. Remember to transfer the prize money to my card, don't forget."
With that, he hung up the phone.
The viewers in the live streaming room immediately exploded with comments.
"What the hell? Xu Mo is quitting the show?"
"Why quit? It's 200,000 yuan for hiding for one day. He's not satisfied with 200,000 a day??"
"Does Xu Mo need that 200,000 a day? He got 10 million from blackmailing the show at the start, now he's got another 20 million, plus he stole a bunch of gold bars from the bank. Just these add up to nearly 50 million!"
"How much? 50 million!? I hadn't calculated it carefully before you mentioned it. Damn... I remember he used to be a poor wage slave like me. How long has it been, and he's already worth 50 million??"
"Brothers, haven't you figured it out yet? If you want to get rich quick, go on a reality show!"
"..."
Xu Mo stood motionless, looking at the police station several hundred meters away.
At this moment, dozens of police officers were sprinting towards his direction.
When they were far away, the officers couldn't make out Xu Mo's features.
But as they got closer, they instantly recognized him.
Photos of Xu Mo and the other fugitives from the show had been distributed by headquarters.
Plus, the officers had all watched some of the live broadcast.
So everyone was familiar with Xu Mo.
"Are you... Xu Mo?" the officer's tone was a bit uncertain.
Seeing this familiar face, they immediately thought of Xu Mo's past actions.
After all, this was the genius who could run circles around the Investigation Team!
For a moment, the officers were on high alert.
They wondered if this guy standing still had some evil intentions.
"I'm Xu Mo, don't worry, I mean no harm," Xu Mo took out a plastic bag. "The gun and remaining bullets are all here. You can take them."
He had stayed here just to return the gun and bullets he had taken from the police station earlier.
In the show, he was playing the role of a criminal, and it was normal for a criminal to illegally possess a gun.
But after quitting the show, he was just an ordinary person, and an ordinary person couldn't explain away having these things.
As a law-abiding five-star citizen, Xu Mo felt it was necessary to return the gun to the police.
...
"What did you say? Xu Mo was caught??" On the phone, Han Fei received news shocking enough to stun him. He was dumbfounded: "Who caught him?"
"Well, it's not really 'caught'. From what the officers at the local station said, Xu Mo didn't even try to run. He just stood there without moving. He went to return the gun he had taken from the police station earlier," the officer on the other end of the line answered.
Xu Mo, who had given Han Fei a headache for so long, was finally in custody.
But Han Fei couldn't feel happy at all.
Because... Xu Mo wasn't caught by him personally, nor by any other officers.
Instead, Xu Mo had turned himself in!
It seemed that Xu Mo had grown tired of running and hiding, which was why he did this.
Just as he hung up the phone, Song Yixue's call came in.
On the phone, Song Yixue also informed Han Fei about Xu Mo voluntarily quitting the show.
This season of the show had thus come to an end.
After hearing this, Han Fei felt a mix of emotions.
It felt like a dream.
It ended just like that?
It seemed too abrupt!
However, Han Fei quickly thought of an important matter.
Not long after the show started, he had felt that Xu Mo was a very promising talent. If someone like him could join the police force, he would likely achieve great things.
In fact, even if Xu Mo didn't accomplish much after joining the police, Han Fei still wanted to bring Xu Mo into their ranks.
He felt it was absolutely necessary to instill a lot of positive thinking in Xu Mo, at least to prevent Xu Mo from actually turning to crime in the future if he ever had a moment of weakness.
Han Fei definitely didn't want to encounter a formidable opponent like Xu Mo in real arrest operations!
He got Xu Mo's phone number from Song Yixue.
After carefully choosing his words for a long time, he called Xu Mo.
"Hello, this is Han Fei..."

[Dao Companion Rental System]. By renting himself out as a temporary dao companion to daughters of destiny, Qin Hao could obtain generous rewards. His service philosophy was simple: play the role of the devoted lover, resolve their troubles, depart without a trace once the matter was settled, and absolutely avoid entangling karma. However, those daughters of destiny didn't see it that way. That night, all the major powers across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens jointly besieged the Qin Clan, plunging it into an unprecedented crisis. "It's Su Qingyue! The peerless sword immortal who attained the Dao and became an Immortal Emperor in a thousand years, the one who severed the River of Time with a single sword strike! When... when did our Qin Clan make an enemy of her?" Qin Hao stepped forward, clearing his throat lightly: "Ahem, Ancestors, don't panic. She's here for me. To be honest... she's my ex-girlfriend." From another direction, the newly ascended Empress of the Demon Realm arrived with ten thousand demons pressing on the border: "Qin Hao! Today, the entire Qin Clan shall be buried with you!" Hearing this, the Qin Clan ancestors all turned their eyes sharply towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "The Demon Empress... she's also my ex-girlfriend." Before the Qin ancestors could process this, an aloof figure traversed the River of Time: "The Qin Clan deserves annihilation!" Recognizing the newcomer, the Qin ancestors paled in terror: "It's her! Liu Ruyan, the Extinction Empress who ventured alone into the alien realm and suppressed it for an entire epoch! Didn't she vanish into the River of Time long ago? Why would she cross it just to target our clan?" Qin Hao scratched his head again, looking even more embarrassed: "My fault, my fault. She's an ex-girlfriend too." Watching countless celestial maidens descend, the Qin Clan ancestors were utterly astounded: "You scoundrel! Just... just how many women have you gotten involved with over the years?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. 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)
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
