At that moment, not only Han Fei was stunned, but also the few square-faced middle-aged men beside him.
The concept of an aircraft carrier might not seem like much when spoken about, but when you actually see one, anyone would feel a sense of awe.
It's just too damn big!
Almost simultaneously, the men all had the same thought: Could this thing really have been picked up?
They began to doubt Xu Mo's words.
Even Han Fei, Xu Mo's immediate superior, started to wonder if the aircraft carrier might have been stolen by Xu Mo from the United States...
Once this thought emerged, it became increasingly difficult to dismiss.
As someone who knew Xu Mo very well, Han Fei believed his speculation could be very likely.
He was all too familiar with Xu Mo's capabilities. After all, this was the same guy who had set fire to the Yasukuni Shrine right under everyone's noses, and even emptied the Tokyo Museum without being caught...
However, upon closer thought, Han Fei found flaws in his own idea.
Not to mention whether Xu Mo had the ability to do such a thing, the key point was that Xu Mo had been in the police station all this time. He simply didn't have the opportunity to do it; he lacked the time to commit the crime.
Thinking of this, Han Fei became even more confused.
So, where did this aircraft carrier come from? Could it really be as Xu Mo said, appearing in front of them just by opening their eyes?
While Han Fei was lost in his thoughts, several escort ships approached from different directions.
These were the soldiers who had recently been informed of the situation and were ordered to come and investigate.
The escort ships surrounded the aircraft carrier and the yacht. The armed soldiers divided into two groups, with one part boarding the aircraft carrier and the other boarding the yacht.
"Don't move! Who are you?" For safety reasons, the soldiers asked about the identities of the people on the yacht.
Everyone introduced themselves by name and position.
After checking, the soldiers verified their identities. They weren't lying, so the soldiers relaxed their vigilance slightly and looked at the group.
"Who discovered this aircraft carrier?"
Han Fei and the others immediately pointed at Xu Mo.
Xu Mo was the one who discovered the aircraft carrier, a fact they had mentioned over the phone.
The soldiers who had arrived also knew that a man named Xu Mo had discovered the aircraft carrier.
"You are Xu Mo? Did you discover this aircraft carrier?"
"Yes," Xu Mo nodded, pointing to the four women on the yacht, repeating his story: "Originally, I was with them four on the yacht watching the sunset. We had a bit of wine in between, and I got drunk and fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, the aircraft carrier was in front of us."
After Xu Mo finished speaking, the four women also nodded vigorously, confirming that the situation was exactly as Xu Mo described.
In reality, they had no idea what had happened. It was Xu Mo who told them that the aircraft carrier suddenly appeared in front of them.
The captain narrowed his eyes.
Just sleeping on the yacht and waking up to find an aircraft carrier... This seemed a bit too fantastical.
To be honest, he didn't believe it.
Unlike ordinary people, they were well aware of the high cost of building an aircraft carrier and how difficult it was to construct one. This was truly a major national weapon!
Such a thing, could it really be ownerless? Could it have been left floating on the sea?
Meanwhile.
On the aircraft carrier.
A team of fully armed soldiers was carefully inspecting everything on the aircraft carrier. The infrared life detector scanned every corner of the aircraft carrier but found nothing. There were no other living beings on the aircraft carrier except for them.
Was this really an ownerless object?
After thoroughly searching the aircraft carrier and finding no one, the captain reported through the wireless earpiece: "It's safe. There are no suspicious individuals on the aircraft carrier."
At that moment, another soldier holding a purchase agreement came to him: "Captain, we have a discovery. Take a look at this."
After glancing through the purchase agreement, the captain spoke again through the wireless earpiece: "There's no one on the aircraft carrier, but we found a purchase agreement. The buyer is... Xu Mo."
"Uh!?! Are you sure?"
"Yes, it's clearly written on paper. The aircraft carrier wasn't picked up; it was bought."
"...Understood."
On the yacht.
Upon learning about this, the soldier couldn't help but look Xu Mo up and down.
He had said that an aircraft carrier couldn't be picked up! Who would abandon a brand-new aircraft carrier?
This was clearly bought by Xu Mo with real money!
This made more sense. Picking up an aircraft carrier was impossible. But if it was bought, that made much more sense...
Wait! Even buying it doesn't make sense!
What kind of background does this Xu Mo have? How could he buy an aircraft carrier!?
Historically, there have been cases where someone bought an aircraft carrier and donated it to the country, but that was only for an almost scrapped aircraft carrier.
But this one is brand new!
It's just absurd!
The soldier stared at Xu Mo and asked again, "You're Xu Mo?"
Did he discover something? Xu Mo nodded a bit nervously: "Yes..."
"Is this aircraft carrier really something you picked up?"
"Yes."
The soldier opened his mouth, wanting to say that Xu Mo was lying, that the aircraft carrier was clearly bought, not picked up. But in the end, he chose to remain silent, as there were many people on the yacht.
After some thought, the soldier decided to step aside and report the findings.
"We've arrived... Yes, there is indeed an ownerless aircraft carrier... Not picked up, but bought. We found a purchase agreement on the aircraft carrier. The buyer's name is Xu Mo. Yes, the same person who claimed to have picked up the aircraft carrier... Okay... Okay, understood."
While reporting, he occasionally glanced at Xu Mo, who was standing not far away. His gaze was like that of someone observing a national treasure, the giant panda.
Although the soldier stepped aside, Xu Mo, who had good hearing, still overheard the soldier's words.
Xu Mo: "???"
Purchase agreement!? The buyer's name is me?
System, you're setting me up!? You never mentioned there was a purchase agreement on the aircraft carrier!
I wanted to keep a low profile and not get involved with the aircraft carrier, just saying I picked it up.
But the system didn't agree. The system didn't want Xu Mo to stay low-key...
This way, the claim that the aircraft carrier was picked up would be debunked.
No wonder that soldier looked at me so strangely earlier...
He already knew this aircraft carrier wasn't something I picked up.
After finishing the phone call, the soldier returned to the group.
He ignored the others and directly looked at Xu Mo.
"Mr. Xu, regarding the aircraft carrier you picked up, how do you plan to handle it?" His expression was a bit odd.
Everyone: "???"
Why would they need to ask Xu Mo's opinion on how to handle the aircraft carrier he picked up?
Isn't this a no-brainer? It's not Xu Mo's!
"Uh... Hand it over to the country," Xu Mo said.
Xu Mo had already had this idea in mind.
The aircraft carrier would automatically disappear if it remained in the system space for more than a month. Leaving it there would be a waste.
If taken out, where to store it would be a big problem. Rather than leaving it in the open sea and letting another country pick it up and benefit, it would be better to just hand it over to the country.
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)

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
