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..."
