Chapter 122: Reward: Divine-level Lockpicking Technique

"Continue playing it," Han Fei glanced at the police officer from the technical department.

The latter turned his head and, with a glance, asked Wang Ju.

Wang Ju gave a wry smile, nodded, and said, "Listen to Lao Han, keep playing it."

Han Fei's point indeed made sense.

This surveillance footage, although it might truly have been tampered with by Xu Mo, because Xu Mo indeed has the ability to manipulate surveillance.

It is very possible that if they trace the footage further, the clues they uncover will be false, intended by Xu Mo for them to see.

However, they now have only this footage to examine.

So whether true or false, they must investigate it.

If it's false, that's that.

But what if it is true?

……

Following Xu Mo's route, they frequently switched between different surveillance camera feeds.

Ultimately, the surveillance image froze on the Hangcheng Children Welfare Institute.

Upon seeing this result, the corners of the eyes of the four members of the Investigation Team involuntarily twitched.

This scenario, they know well.

Before arriving at the police station, they had already been led by Xu Mo to a similar place—a nursing home.

Damn… never ending, huh?

Just used the nursing home to mess with them.

Now they damn well bring a welfare institute?

Could this also be a false lead?

Is this still trying to play us!?

He noticed that Han Fei and the others' expressions were a bit off.

Wang Ju asked, "Lao Han, is there something wrong with this place?"

Han Fei recounted to Wang Ju the events that occurred before coming to the police station yesterday.

A police officer beside them, after hearing Han Fei's words, frowned and said.

"So, the clue from the welfare institute is also false?"

Han Fei and Wang Ju both shook their heads.

In unison they said, "That may not be the case either."

After saying that, the two exchanged glances.

They decided to go together.

After a pause, Wang Ju continued, "The nursing home clue might be a smoke bomb, so Xu Mo could now be hiding in the welfare institute, perhaps."

Han Fei also echoed.

"Exactly, Xu Mo might be playing psychological warfare with us; in fact he could be hiding inside the welfare institute. Of course another possibility is that Xu Mo never went to the welfare institute, and this footage was fabricated by him. But whether true or false, I have to take a look."

Having said that, Han Fei rose immediately.

No time to lose; he intended to depart right away.

Seeing Han Fei stand up to leave.

Wang Ju reached out to a police officer, "I think the same, Xiao Li, take some people and go with Han Team."

……

Welfare institute.

Xu Mo slept until he woke up naturally.

After stretching lazily, he got up from the bed.

After a while, Yang Jingxuan and Zhou Qiaoqiao also got up one after another.

The three briefly washed up.

They also ate some breakfast, played with the children for a while, and only returned to the room when the children went to class.

"Pack up, we're getting ready to leave," Xu Mo said.

Zhou Qiaoqiao was startled for a moment.

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

Xu Mo shook his head.

"The police aren't fools; you're a hacker, and the police have a technical department too. If you can black the surveillance, they can restore it. If the footage is restored, they'll definitely come here."

"Indeed! Then I'll go tidy up."

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

"I'll also go tidy up," Yang Jingxuan also left.

Just after the two had left one after another.

In Xu Mo's mind, the long-missed system notification sound rang.

"You successfully fooled the Program Crew, the Investigation Team, and the Hangcheng Police, earning a choice of four rewards, and additionally, an extra reward."

"1: Dual-directional Foil."

"2: Divine-level Lockpicking Technique."

"3: A straight Golden Silk Nanmu Stick (very straight)."

"4: RTX10086TI graphics card."

"Extra reward: System Space Expansion (expanded to fifty cubic meters)."

As usual.

The system still provided some things that looked cool, but for Xu Mo at this stage, they were indeed useless.

For example...

Two-dimensional foil, that thing from Three-Body.

Xu Mo really couldn't figure out why the system would provide this reward.

How? This is wanting him to destroy the Earth!?

That's weird.

Only a lunatic would pick this reward!

There are two more rewards, also equally absurd.

Reward three, a straight golden silk nanmu stick.

And it's fucking huge straight??

Okay, Xu Mo admits.

This reward, he indeed is a bit tempted.

If it were over a decade ago, when he was still young.

He would definitely choose this reward without hesitation.

Then, holding the system reward's huge straight golden silk nanmu stick, he went to ravage the rapeseed flower field.

Enough said, but within a radius of several miles, not a single rapeseed flower would survive under his stick!

As for that reward four——RTX10086TI graphics card.

This reward...

To be honest.

Xu Mo is also very tempted!

How novel, graphics cards have already reached 10086TI—this card is ahead of the graphics card industry by several hundred years at least.

What game can't be played?

But having said that.

Although these rewards are tempting.

But if chosen, they're either unusable, or if chosen, they're pretty much useless for Xu Mo now.

The only one that looks somewhat reliable is reward two——the Divine-level Lockpicking Technique.

Divine-level Lockpicking Technique, as the name suggests, once chosen, can open any lock.

Estimated, opening a bank vault's lock wouldn't take long either.

After weighing the options.

Xu Mo made a choice.

"I choose the Divine-level Lockpicking Technique."

It's worth mentioning that.

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

Xu Mo thought, this system is actually willing to expand the system space.

Before, the system space was only a little big.

So small it could only be described as a large backpack.

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

Trying to stuff in a few more bottles of mineral water was already a struggle.

Before that, he was still worrying about how to carry the remaining sixty-nine pieces of gold.

Carrying it around all the time is definitely not realistic.

After all, this thing is really too heavy, over a hundred catties.

Even, Xu Mo had thought about.

Whether to take out part of the five million already placed in the system space, find a place to hide it, and make room for the gold bars.

After all...... the value of these gold bars is far greater than five million cash!

However, after the system space was expanded to fifty cubic meters.

This problem no longer needed Xu Mo to worry about.

Fifty cubic meters, let alone five million plus sixty-nine gold bars.

Even if doubled, it could still fit.

And still have plenty to spare.

At this moment, Xu Mo even felt a bit regretful.

"Mad, we robbed too little......"
