After leaving the police station, Xu Mo first returned to his previous residence to prepare for moving.
With a villa now, there was no need to live here anymore. Of course, he would choose to move to the villa. Only a fool would pass up a good life!
He quickly packed up the useful things in the house, planning to take them to the villa rewarded by the system.
For Xu Mo, moving didn't require hiring a moving company. After all, he had the System Space.
He just needed to stuff everything he wanted to take into the System Space.
As he finished packing everything and opened the System Space to put things in, Xu Mo noticed the pile of shining gold bars stacked in the corner of the System Space.
Only then did he remember that he still had a bunch of gold to deal with.
"I should find time to sell these and exchange them for cash. It's not doing any good just sitting there," Xu Mo muttered.
Looking at the gold bars, suddenly, a item recently rewarded by the system popped into Xu Mo's mind - the enlargement spray.
It's worth noting that the system provided detailed descriptions for almost all rewards, including the luxury car and villa, with specifics on the car's configuration, the house's location, and so on.
But for this particular reward, the system didn't give much of a detailed description.
For the enlargement spray, the system's description was just two simple, blunt words - "Makes bigger!"
It didn't even specify what the enlargement spray could be used on.
So much so that when Xu Mo first received this reward, his mind immediately went to naughty places.
But now, seeing these gold bars in the System Space,
Xu Mo suddenly had a bold idea...
"Since the system didn't specify any limitations for the enlargement spray, doesn't that mean it can make anything bigger? If used on gold bars... Whoa... Holy crap!" Xu Mo couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
Aside from the gold bar he had previously donated to the orphanage,
Xu Mo still had sixty-nine kilograms of gold bars, worth over 26 million.
If the enlargement spray could work on gold bars...
Even if it only doubled the sixty-nine kilograms of gold bars to one hundred and thirty-eight kilograms, that would be incredible. One hundred and thirty-eight kilograms of gold bars would be worth over 50 million!
And this was just Xu Mo's speculation.
For all he knew, the enlargement spray's effect could be even more potent than he imagined, possibly making objects ten times bigger!
If it could make the sixty-nine kilograms of gold bars ten times bigger... that would be unbelievable!
Thinking of this, Xu Mo got excited. In that instant, he even envisioned an entire industry chain.
Buy gold bars - spray them with the enlargement spray - sell the enlarged gold bars - use the money to buy more gold bars, and repeat the cycle.
According to Xu Mo's plan, it probably wouldn't take long before he became the world's richest person!
This enlargement spray was truly a fantastic thing!
Xu Mo didn't think further. Instead, he directly took out a gold bar from the System Space.
He also took out the enlargement spray rewarded by the system.
With an excited heart and trembling hands,
He sprayed the enlargement spray on the gold bar.
After waiting for over a minute, the gold bar showed no signs of enlarging.
"Doesn't work?" Xu Mo wondered, confused.
Wasn't it supposed to make things bigger when sprayed?
Was the system lying?
That didn't seem right... The system had no reason to lie.
Or maybe this thing just doesn't work on gold bars?
Xu Mo then took the enlargement spray and sprayed it on various pieces of furniture and appliances in the room, but the result was the same. Nothing grew larger after being sprayed with the enlargement spray.
"Why doesn't it work on anything?"
"Or maybe..." Xu Mo looked down, pensively gazing at his pants.
...
"Holy crap! Holy crap! No way... That's not necessary! Really not necessary!"
Xu Mo was dumbfounded.
It turned out to be exactly as he had initially guessed.
This reward was just not decent!
No, not just the reward... The whole damn system wasn't decent!
What kind of nonsense reward was this?
Although... it could be quite useful...
(Press 1 to get the enlargement spray... ಡωಡ)
...
After packing all the necessary items from the room into the System Space,
Xu Mo went downstairs and left the apartment, heading straight for the villa rewarded by the system.
At the villa complex.
The system had thoughtfully registered Xu Mo's car plate number in the villa complex's security system.
As soon as the machine at the entrance recognized the plate, the barrier lifted.
Following the guidance in his mind,
Xu Mo drove to the center of the villa complex.
In this row, there were three villas in total, the three largest villas in the complex.
Xu Mo's was in the middle.
Just as he was about to drive over,
Xu Mo saw some familiar figures on the road - Yang Jingxuan, Zhou Qiaoqiao, An Youyi, and Shen Manyi.
The next second, Xu Mo slowed down, drove the car next to the four of them, and lowered the window.
"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
"Xu Mo? We were just about to go to the police station to find you!"
"Find me? What for?" Xu Mo asked, puzzled.
An Youyi pointed to the villa behind them.
"I just bought this place, and I was planning to discuss with you about living here together... Mainly because the four of us still need to occasionally fool our families back home, you know, make phone calls or video chats and such, otherwise they might get suspicious. What do you think? The villa has many rooms, enough for the five of us to live in!"
Hearing this, Xu Mo was slightly taken aback.
He thought to himself, what a coincidence indeed, to run into them like this.
The villa An Youyi had bought was right next to the one the system had rewarded him!
"Living together might not be necessary... but I can help out occasionally, no problem. Speaking of coincidences, I just bought a villa too, right next door to yours. We're not far apart, so it'll be convenient to visit each other."
The four of them all let out a sigh of relief.
At first, when they heard Xu Mo say he didn't want to live together, they thought he was going to reject them.
They didn't expect that Xu Mo didn't mean it that way.
Instead, he happened to buy a villa right next to theirs, planning to live there himself.
Although they wouldn't be under the same roof, at least they were neighbors, living right next door, very close.
Moreover, Xu Mo also expressed that he had no problem helping out occasionally.
As for Xu Mo being able to afford a villa here, the four of them didn't show much surprise.
After all, Xu Mo was now a wealthy man.
Apart from the cash he got from the show and the gold bars he stole from the bank, Xu Mo still had a collection of national treasure-level artifacts.
If he casually sold just one of those, it would be more than enough to buy a villa.
"Are you free? If so, let's have a meal together to celebrate our move to the new house!" An Youyi suggested, looking at Xu Mo.
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)
