Before making this call to Xu Mo, Song Yixue had already figured out how to arrange the several people with funds to join the program.
After outlining the general idea, Song Yixue slowly began to speak.
"Well, you just helped the bank identify security vulnerabilities, right? The bank has already started to strengthen its security measures, and this matter has gained a lot of attention online."
"With the reinforced security measures at the bank, even if someone is planning something against the bank, they would have to reconsider before taking action. This indirectly prevents crime, so the program has received unanimous praise from netizens. You can check it out online."
At this point, Song Yixue deliberately paused.
Giving Xu Mo some time to go online and see how netizens are evaluating the program.
Xu Mo chose not to go online to see how netizens were evaluating the program.
Because he was puzzled.
Preventing crime?
Robbing a bank himself could prevent crime!?
So, was he, the 'robber,' actually doing something righteous??
Xu Mo didn't go online.
But Yang Jingxuan and Zhou Qiaoqiao, the two curious souls, couldn't resist.
Because Xu Mo had answered the call on speakerphone, both of them heard what Song Yixue said.
Without a second thought, they immediately took out their phones.
Just as Song Yixue said.
The program had already become a hot topic.
The discussions were intense.
Almost all netizens believed that the program had indeed achieved the goal of crime prevention.
The strengthened security system at the bank was said to be airtight!
Even real criminals would feel intimidated.
Before, one could still attempt a robbery with some determination, but now, with Xu Mo's intervention...
Even if one gritted their teeth, they couldn't succeed!
Not daring to commit crimes, isn't that crime prevention?
"Really, Xu Mo, take a look!" Yang Jingxuan handed the phone to Xu Mo.
Glancing at the content trending online.
Xu Mo pondered for a moment. "So, what's the meaning behind your call? Do you want me to rob the bank again? Test the bank's security again?"
Song Yixue smiled.
"How could that be? We just finished the test. There's no need to test again. Besides, the bank has just strengthened its security measures. Experts have said that the bank's security is now three to five times stronger than before. It would be difficult for you to succeed again. Pushing you to rob again would be unfair, wouldn't it?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Mo had a playful expression. "How do you know I won't succeed?"
Song Yixue: "???"
What does he mean?
Seeing Xu Mo's expression, does he still have confidence in successfully robbing the bank?
Keep in mind, after Xu Mo robbed the bank this time.
The bank has already developed and implemented a foolproof security system overnight.
The bank's security is now incomparable to before.
Why is Xu Mo so confident that he can still succeed?
On the other end of the phone, Song Yixue was dumbfounded for several seconds.
She couldn't even utter a word.
Seeing that Song Yixue hadn't spoken on the other end of the line, Xu Mo chuckled and added, "If you don't believe me, shall I prove it to you?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yixue coughed a few times.
"...let's forget about it, no need."
To be honest, Song Yixue couldn't distinguish whether Xu Mo's words were true or false.
She couldn't determine whether Xu Mo had the ability to succeed again in the bank with enhanced security measures.
And the bank robbery show's effect, once was enough.
Pausing for a moment, Song Yixue continued.
"You must have seen the reactions of the netizens. Such feedback is in line with the purpose of the program to prevent crime. Our program team discussed it and unanimously decided to add some other elements to the program, which can closely follow the program's purpose - crime prevention. If you keep running away from the pursuit team, it completely does not reflect the purpose of the crime prevention program, after all..."
Song Yixue didn't continue with her words.
Although she didn't finish her sentence.
But even if she didn't say the second half of the sentence, everyone could guess it.
Why does Xu Mo's continuous running away not reflect the purpose of the program?
Do we even need to ask?
Because the pursuit team can't catch Xu Mo at all!
With such a luxurious lineup, they can't even catch an ordinary office worker.
How does this prevent any crime!?
Xu Mo nodded, waiting for Song Yixue to continue.
Song Yixue continued.
"We have arranged a new task for you - to steal a gem at the exhibition, a gem worth fifty million. This gem was placed in the exhibition by the program team."
"This time, there will be new guests joining the program, a total of six, two of them are your teammates, and the remaining four are your opponents, responsible for stopping you from stealing the gem."
"By the way, there is a bonus this time, as per the old rules, if you can get the gem, it's yours, if you can't, then the gem belongs to the other four."
The program team really went all out this time, directly offering a gem worth fifty million as a bonus.
Xu Mo glanced at Zhou Qiaoqiao and Yang Jingxuan beside him.
"Add two more..."
After some thought.
He nodded.
"Alright, adding two more teammates is fine."
For Xu Mo, adding two more teammates is not a big deal.
After all, he also wants to gain some benefits.
If he succeeds this time, he can get a gem worth fifty million.
Moreover, running away all the time is not really meaningful.
Now he can play some new tricks and earn a big sum, why not?
Yang Jingxuan: "???"
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"
What does it mean to add two more teammates? What does it mean by two sheep or four sheep? Who are the sheep?
Do they have no dignity!?
Seeing Xu Mo agree, Song Yixue said cheerfully.
"If you agree, that's good. Stay where you are, I'll have your two new partners come find you."
"Okay."
Xu Mo hung up the phone.
Because the call was on speakerphone, the viewers in the live broadcast room also heard Song Yixue's words.
"If the members of the pursuit team find out that Xu Mo has added two more people by his side, they would probably be ecstatic."
"Xu Mo has gained two new teammates, which is a good thing for the investigation team. Xu Mo is amazing, but his teammates are definitely not as skilled as him. Having more people means there will definitely be someone who slips up."
"Whether it's a good thing or not is still up for debate. What if the two new helpers are as skilled as Xu Mo? That would give the investigation team even more of a headache."
"Come on, how many monsters like Xu Mo can there be? His helpers definitely aren't as powerful as him, so they might just hold Xu Mo back."
"Bro, hold back what? Xu Mo is so powerful, even if they hold him back a bit, how much can they really hold him back?"
"Exactly, a little challenge makes things more fun. What's the point of playing when the gap between the two sides is too big? Beating up a three-year-old as an adult, is that even satisfying? Adding some difficulty to the show can make it more interesting. Besides, Xu Mo is not losing out. With 50 million worth of jewels on the line, as the saying goes, 'you have to take risks to win!' Adding a couple of sidekicks gives you a chance to win 50 million, why wouldn't you take it?"
"And I feel like the investigation team is starting to lose their edge now. They probably have started to give up because they can't catch Xu Mo. Adding two teammates to Xu Mo is like giving the investigation team a shot in the arm, to get them back on track."
"Yes, investigation team, come on! Get back on track! If you don't, how will Xu Mo continue to play with you?"
"..."
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
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.
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)
