Ram City.
Police Station.
Having been forewarned, Chen Ke immediately called Han Fei to report his safe arrival as soon as he landed.
Curiously, as soon as Chen Ke's call to report his safety ended, the police station received a report.
A bomb had exploded on Bus No. 79, with passengers still on board!
Han Fei looked puzzled at his phone, feeling something was off but unable to pinpoint it.
Everything had been fine recently, no incidents. How come as soon as Chen Ke returned, something happened? Could this guy be a jinx or something!
Meanwhile, at Baiyun Airport, Chen Ke sneezed several times: "Who's cursing me?"
After parting ways at the airport, Chen Ke went straight home.
Xu Mo, on the other hand, contacted the person from the yacht company who had called him earlier, and they agreed to meet at 3 PM for the final handover.
...
At 3 PM.
Xu Mo arrived at the yacht dock with four women.
As soon as they arrived, a middle-aged man in a suit approached them.
"Are you Mr. Xu Mo?"
"Yes, that's me," Xu Mo nodded.
The man waved his phone.
"We just spoke on the phone. I'll take you to see the yacht you purchased from our company. It's currently docked here, Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xus, this way please."
Mrs. Xu? And "s"? Xu Mo couldn't help but glance at the four women behind him, seeing no unusual reactions, he decided not to explain.
If the four ladies didn't say anything, what was there to explain?
Following the man, they arrived at the dock.
Numerous yachts, mostly small to medium-sized, were docked, not particularly impressive.
The most eye-catching yacht at the dock was a brand-new white one, also the largest in the entire dock.
In the next moment, the man pointed to this white yacht.
"Mr. Xu, this is the yacht you ordered from our company."
"This big?" Yang Jingxuan couldn't help but speak up before Xu Mo could.
Xu Mo's yacht, standing among the others, had a sense of standing out.
Compared to the other yachts, Xu Mo's was a behemoth, almost ten times larger!
Not just Yang Jingxuan, but Zhou Qiaoqiao, Li Jiaxin, and even the wealthiest among them, An Youyi, were all wide-eyed in shock.
Although An Youyi didn't own a yacht herself, her father did. Xu Mo's yacht was significantly larger than her father's...
"Mr. Xu's yacht is one of our company's latest models, also the largest and most luxurious yacht we've ever built. There's only one of its kind, and we won't be making another. It perfectly showcases Mr. Xu's status," the man was quick to flatter: "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
Big? It's okay, certainly not as big as my aircraft carrier, this size is just so-so... Xu Mo casually replied: "It's fine, quite large."
The man's expression froze.
Fine?
Quite large?
It sounded so dismissive!
This yacht, almost a giant among yachts, was one of the largest and most luxurious in the world.
Yet in Xu Mo's eyes, it was just "fine"?
Did this mean he owned an aircraft carrier or something!?
Of course, the man only vented in his mind, never daring to say such things out loud.
After all, Xu Mo was a super-big client for their company. Offending him would mean instant dismissal.
"Shall I take you all up for a tour? The yacht is equipped with a variety of facilities, practically everything you could need."
"Sure," Xu Mo nodded.
"Please follow me, I'll take you up," the man gestured for them to follow.
As they walked, he continued to introduce.
"This yacht is 164 meters long, six stories high, capable of accommodating at least 120 crew members and guests. The facilities are quite comprehensive, including a gym, swimming pool, four auxiliary speedboats, hot spring baths, saunas, a cinema, massage rooms, bars, and so on."
"Oh, and there's a helipad on the top deck with a Cabri G2 helicopter. You don't need to pay extra for it; it's a complimentary gift from us."
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"
Yang Jingxuan: "???"
An Youyi: "???"
Li Jiaxin: "???"
What?
A helipad? A yacht with a helipad!?
And they're throwing in a helicopter!?
"The helicopter isn't cheap, giving it away won't be a loss?" Zhou Qiaoqiao wondered.
"You jest, the helicopter, though not cheap, is nothing compared to the price of Mr. Xu's yacht," the man explained with a smile.
What's the cost of a helicopter? The yacht is the real deal!
Even if they gave away ten helicopters, the company would still make a profit.
Hearing the man's introduction, Xu Mo finally nodded in approval. Although the yacht looked just big on the outside, the interior facilities were indeed quite comprehensive.
Especially the part about giving away a helicopter, Xu Mo liked that.
Although the helicopter wasn't expensive, at least they offered it, showing good intentions.
Now, Xu Mo had all three types of transportation: land, sea, and air.
"The bottom floor isn't much to see, just the control room and some rooms for the crew. There's also a 30,000-kilowatt diesel generator that powers the yacht's electricity."
"Let's go to the second floor, please follow me. There's an elevator here, very convenient for going up and down, no need to climb stairs."
"Wow, there's even an elevator..." An Youyi was stunned.
Her father owned a yacht, and she had been on it many times, but it paled in comparison to Xu Mo's.
This was the first time An Youyi had heard of a yacht with a helipad and an elevator...

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.

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.
