Reward: Divine Unlocking Techniques

"Keep playing it," Han Fei said, glancing at the technician from the police department.

The latter then turned his head and looked at Director Wang for confirmation.

Director Wang smiled wryly and nodded, "Listen to Old Han, keep playing it."

What Han Fei said did make sense.

Although this surveillance footage could have been tampered with by Xu Mo, since Xu Mo did have the skills to manipulate surveillance footage.

It was very likely that if they kept tracing the footage, the clues they found would be fake, planted there for them to see by Xu Mo.

But right now this surveillance footage was all they had to work with.

So whether it was real or fake, they still had to check it out.

If it turned out to be fake then so be it.

But what if it was real?

...

Following the path Xu Mo had taken, the surveillance footage frequently switched between different cameras to capture his movement.

Eventually, the surveillance footage zoomed in on the "Hangcheng Children's Welfare Institute".

Seeing this, the four members of the task force couldn't help but twitch their eyes.

They were familiar with this scene.

Before coming to the police station, they had been led by Xu Mo to a similar place - a nursing home.

Damn...this is never ending, isn't it?

They had just been fooled by the nursing home.

And now there was a freaking welfare institute?

Could this be another false lead?

Was he still trying to play us!?

Noticing the abnormal expressions on Han Fei and the others' faces.

Director Wang asked, "Old Han, is there something wrong with this place?"

Han Fei recounted to Director Wang what had happened before they came to the police station yesterday.

After listening to Han Fei's story, one of the police officers frowned and said,

"So, is the lead to the welfare institute fake too?"

Both Han Fei and Director Wang shook their heads.

And said in unison, "That's not necessarily the case."

After saying this, they looked at each other.

They were on the same page.

After a pause, Director Wang continued, "The lead to the nursing home could be a smoke bomb, so it's possible Xu Mo is hiding in the welfare institute right now."

Han Fei chimed in,

"That's right. Xu Mo could be playing psychological games with us. He might actually be hiding in the welfare institute. Of course, it's also possible that Xu Mo never went to the welfare institute at all, and this surveillance footage was fabricated by him. But no matter whether it's real or fake, I have to go take a look."

Having said that, Han Fei got up directly.

There was no time to lose, he was going to set off now.

Seeing that Han Fei was getting ready to leave.

Director Wang beckoned to a police officer, "I'm thinking the same thing. Little Li, take some men and go with Captain Han."

...

Welfare Institute.

Xu Mo slept until he naturally woke up.

After a lazy stretch, he crawled out of bed.

A while later, Yang Jingxuan and Zhou Qiaoqiao also got up one after another.

The three of them briefly washed up and had some breakfast, then played with the kids for a while until they went to class. Only then did they return to the room.

"Let's pack up and get ready to leave," Xu Mo said.

Zhou Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment.

"Leaving so soon? But I've already tampered with the surveillance..."

Xu Mo shook his head.

"The police aren't idiots. You're a hacker, but the police also have a technology department. If you can manipulate surveillance footage, so can they by restoring it. If they restore the surveillance footage, they'll definitely come here."

"You're right! I'll go pack up then."

Having said that, Zhou Qiaoqiao turned and left Xu Mo's room, and went into her own room.

"I'll go pack too," Yang Jingxuan also left.

Right after the two of them had left one after another.

The familiar system prompt sounded in Xu Mo's mind after a long absence.

"You have successfully fooled the program team, the task force, and the Hangcheng police. You receive a reward of four choices, in addition to an extra reward."

"1. Two-way foil."

"2. Master-grade lockpicking skills."

"3. A straight golden nanmu baton (f*cking straight)."

"4. RTX10086TI graphics card."

"Extra reward: Expand system space capacity (up to 50 cubic meters)."

As usual.

The system still offered some rewards that looked very cool, but were not actually useful to Xu Mo at the current stage.

For example...

Two-way foil, the stuff from the Three Body novel.

Xu Mo really couldn't figure out why the system would give this as a reward.

What was this? Did it want him to destroy the Earth!?

How wicked. Only a psychopath would choose this reward!

The other two rewards were equally ridiculous.

Reward three, a straight golden nanmu baton.

And it fucking emphasized that it was straight??

Alright, Xu Mo admitted.

He was a little tempted by this reward.

If it had been ten-odd years ago when he was still a kid.

He would have chosen this reward without hesitation.

Then he would have taken the fucking straight golden nanmu baton rewarded by the system, and gone to the rapeseed fields.

There would definitely have been no rapeseed flowers left standing within a radius of several li under his baton!

As for reward four - RTX10086TI graphics card.

This reward...

To tell the truth.

Xu Mo was also very tempted!

How novel, graphics cards had advanced to 10086TI. This card must be hundreds of years ahead of the graphics card industry.

What games couldn't it run?

But then again.

Although these rewards were very tempting.

Either they were useless if he didn't choose them, or they would be of little use to Xu Mo now even if he did choose them.

The only one that looked slightly reliable was reward two - Master-grade lockpicking skills.

As the name suggested, if he chose it, he would be able to open any lock.

It probably wouldn't take long to open a bank vault lock either.

After weighing his options.

Xu Mo made his choice.

"I choose Master-grade lockpicking skills."

It was worth mentioning that.

This time, the system also gave a very practical extra reward - expanding Xu Mo's system space.

Xu Mo thought to himself that the system was finally willing to expand the system space.

The previous system space was tiny.

It was so small that it could only be described as a large backpack.

After stuffing the 5 million cash extorted from the program team into it, the system space was basically full.

It was difficult to squeeze even a few bottles of mineral water in.

Before this, he had been worrying about how to take away the remaining 69 gold bars.

Carrying them all the time was obviously unrealistic.

After all, these things were so damn heavy, over 100 catties.

Xu Mo had even considered.

Should he take out part of the 5 million cash that was already in the system space and hide it somewhere, to make room for the gold bars?

After all...the value of these gold bars was much higher than the 5 million cash!

But with the system space expanded to 50 cubic meters.

This was no longer an issue Xu Mo had to worry about.

50 cubic meters. Not to mention 5 million plus 69 gold bars, even twice that amount could fit.

And there would still be ample room.

At this moment, Xu Mo even regretted a little.

"Damn, should've robbed more..."

Hehe... Thanks for the gifts, brothers!

You guys are awesome!!! (Cracks voice)

Wish you brothers blessings as vast as the sea, and longevity exceeding mountains. May you enjoy as much sugar orange as you want without turning yellow!

Good night!
