Keep Praising, Don't Stop

The case was wrapped up, and Xu Mo drove straight home.

"You successfully captured the fugitive and earned a reward—Truth Serum x10!"

Truth Serum, an old friend, Xu Mo was quite familiar with it.

He had just run out of the previous batch, so the system's timely replenishment was quite considerate.

With this stuff, even the toughest nuts wouldn't be a headache anymore.

The next morning.

The news of Team Seven solving a murder case overnight had already spread throughout the police station.

Before the official work hours, the officers were already buzzing with discussions about it.

"Team Seven solved a case last night!?"

"They really have some skills. Team Seven was just formed yesterday, and they managed to crack a murder case the same night."

"Did you hear? It seems Xu Mo was the one who made the breakthrough..."

"What do you mean? Spill the details!"

"You know about composite sketches, right? Xu Mo used that technique during the case. Based on descriptions, he quickly drew a portrait of the victim. That's why the case was solved so fast. If it weren't for Xu Mo, the killer would have escaped to Yun Province by high-speed train and then fled the country. It would have been much harder to catch him then."

"Composite sketches? Xu Mo can do that? I've never seen him use it. Are you pulling our legs?"

"Why would I lie to you? This is what Xiao Li told me this morning when I came on duty. The sketch is still in the case file. You can go check it out yourself."

"..."

In the office.

Han Fei had also heard about this. Xu Mo was truly an invaluable asset!

If it weren't for Xu Mo, this case would have been a nightmare for other officers, and he, as the chief of criminal investigation, would have had to step in.

However, what puzzled Han Fei was why there were suddenly so many cases lately.

The police station had been pretty quiet for a while, with everyone just idling around. But in the past two days, cases had been piling up one after another.

And it seemed like it all started after Chen Ke returned from Fu Province... Han Fei recalled that on the day Chen Ke got back, he had just finished a phone call with him when a bus explosion occurred. At that time, Han Fei already felt something was off.

Then, yesterday, after Chen Ke joined the newly formed Team Seven, a dismemberment case happened, and it took place at the very hotel where Team Seven had been dining.

Thinking of this, Han Fei couldn't help but frown. Why did it feel like Chen Ke was a jinx?

Oh well, jinx or not, the case was solved. And thankfully, there was Xu Mo, the ace detective, saving him from headaches.

Meanwhile.

Chen Ke just walked into the police station, carrying breakfast he bought on the way.

As he entered, he sneezed several times in a row.

Who's talking about me behind my back? Chen Ke wiped his face.

"Chen Ke, your Team Seven is impressive! I heard you guys solved a murder case easily last night. That's amazing!"

Chen Ke straightened his back a bit and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's nothing special. It wasn't exactly easy, though. There were some challenges!"

Though he said that, Chen Ke was secretly over the moon... Keep praising, don't stop!

A while later, Xu Mo and the other officers also arrived at the station.

After some casual greetings, everyone began their work for the day.

In reality, there wasn't much to do. Without any reports coming in, the officers were in a state of half-work, half-idleness.

The day quickly passed.

Since there was nothing much going on, Xu Mo headed home after work.

"You're home early today?"

"Yeah, nothing much happened today. Just coasted through the day."

Xu Mo bent down to change his shoes but was stopped by the four women: "Don't change your shoes. Let's go out and have some fun!"

Hearing this, Xu Mo paused.

"What do you want to do?"

"The beach. We want to see the sunset by the sea. It's gorgeous. We were actually planning to call you to borrow your yacht... and here you are." Zhou Qiaoqiao said, showing Xu Mo a short video she had just watched on her phone.

The video showed the breathtaking sight of a sunset by the sea.

What's so great about a sunset? I'm not interested! Xu Mo was about to say, but then he noticed four neatly arranged bikinis on the coffee table.

"!!!"

His mind instantly filled with images of the four women frolicking in the private pool on his yacht, wearing bikinis.

I'm not interested in bikini-clad beauties, I just want to see the sunset. Yes, that's it... Xu Mo said firmly, "What a coincidence. I've also wanted to see the sunset, but I've been too busy."

Besides, the plan to salvage an aircraft carrier can also be put into action...

Everyone agreed, and they decided to leave right away.

Driving to the marina where the yacht was docked, Xu Mo and the group boarded the yacht.

"I just thought of something..." An Youyi said, "We don't have any crew. How are we going to sail the yacht? We can't just watch the sunset from the dock."

Hearing this, the other three women's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. Hiring a crew on short notice seemed difficult.

They arrived at the marina around 6 p.m., and the sunset would be in about an hour. It seemed their impromptu plan to watch the sunset at sea was about to fall through. No crew was a big problem. How could they sail such a large yacht?

But they were worrying unnecessarily.

With Xu Mo, the seasoned sailor, around, would they really have trouble sailing the yacht?

Thanks to the system's rewards, Xu Mo could operate any vehicle. Whether it was a yacht or even a submarine, he could handle it!

"We don't need a crew. I'll sail the yacht," Xu Mo said calmly.

"You can?" The four women looked at Xu Mo, their tone a mix of surprise, joy, and a hint of doubt.

Xu Mo nodded.

"More or less. It's just a yacht. It can't be harder than flying a plane. It's just forward, backward, and turning. Nothing too complicated. A little research will do."

The women knew Xu Mo could fly a plane, and his reasoning made sense.

Could a yacht be harder to operate than a plane? Certainly not.

Xu Mo could fly a plane and even drive a car like it was flying. Sailing a yacht shouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, they didn't plan to go far out to sea. Just a slight distance from the shore would be the perfect spot to watch the sunset.

"Why don't you study the controls and see if it's easy to operate? If it's too complicated, we can postpone it," Zhou Qiaoqiao suggested, looking at Xu Mo.

"Sure."

Together, they went to the yacht's bridge.

After a brief "study" session, Xu Mo turned to the four women: "It's not hard. Just control the steering wheel to turn, similar to driving a car. Pretty straightforward..."
