Chapter 136: Does Xu Mo Really Know How to Pick Locks?

At that moment, Xu Mo was holding a piece of instant noodles, standing beside a safe that looked intimidating just at a glance, with a look eager to try.

The instant noodles were the ones An Youyi had gotten for Xu Mo.

The safe was also from An Youyi's home.

And it was a safe that had been bought at great expense.

Its security could even rival that of a bank's safe.

To open this safe, one must have both the key and the code; missing either is impossible.

Seeing Xu Mo's demeanor, the four understood exactly what Xu Mo was up to.

There's an eighty‑to‑ninety percent chance Xu Mo intends to use instant noodles to open the safe!

Although they already had a rough answer in mind.

An Youyi still planned to ask.

Thinking of that, she pointed at the instant noodles in Xu Mo's hand: "You intend to use this thing…" As she said so, An Youyi paused, pointed at the safe beside them, her face full of disbelief: "To… to open this thing?"

Xu Mo nodded solemnly.

"Hmm, watch."

After speaking, he immediately squatted beside the safe, took the instant noodles and began to work on it.

His actions left the four completely stunned.

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"

Yang Jingxuan: "???"

An Youyi: "???"

Li Jiaxin: "???"

He even squatted down and started handling it??

He's not kidding?

Live Broadcast Room.

The Water Friends were also stunned.

"Xu Mo must have had a lot to drink, using instant noodles to open a safe?"

"If he didn't drink, then he's just joking; how could instant noodles open a lock? Even the simplest lock can't be opened, let alone a safe."

"Instant noodles can open locks, right? I recall someone once said a pack of instant noodles could pry open every door in an entire complex."

"Bro, that's just a meme! Have you ever seen a thief open a lock with instant noodles? Someone stabbing instant noodles into a lock hole isn't trying to open it, they're trying to jam it."

"If Xu Mo can open this safe with instant noodles, my little 'Jiji' would shrink by ten centimeters!"

Just then.

A 'crack!' sound was heard.

The safe's door swung open.

Indeed, Xu Mo opened it with instant noodles.

And all of this happened under the gaze of every Water Friend in the Live Broadcast Room.

Everyone saw clearly; Xu Mo didn't use anything else.

He truly opened the safe with just a single strand of instant noodles.

Know that this is a safe, not a cheap lock from a hardware store.

Crucially, it's An Youyi's home safe; just thinking about it, its security must be top‑tier.

And this very safe was opened by Xu Mo with a single instant noodle.

That shows… Xu Mo really isn't bragging.

One can guess he could indeed open the lock on a Display Cabinet at the Exhibition Event.

"Done." Xu Mo turned his head and said to the four behind him.

No one answered him.

Because they were all dumbfounded.

What on earth is Xu Mo?

He opened a safe with a single instant noodle!?

He really can pick locks??

Moreover, what surprised them most wasn't that Xu Mo could pick locks.

It was that Xu Mo's abilities go beyond lock‑picking!

He can also forge documents, practice Disguise, and is proficient in Hacker Technique…

It's very possible Xu Mo has even more skills.

After all, who knows what else he can do!

Live Broadcast Room.

"??? No, how did it open??"

"You're the one who just shrank ten centimeters, brother, my condolences!"

"WTF? It opened?? Fake, right?"

"Guys, am I seeing things or what? Did Xu Mo really open the safe with instant noodles?"

"Awesome, I feel like Xu Mo can do anything…"

……

At this moment, Xu Mo had already formulated a plan.

He was just waiting for everything to be ready before taking action.

He is plotting to steal the gem displayed at the Exhibition Event, thinking how to take it.

At the same time, Xu Mo was scheming about the gem.

There are also two groups of people scheming against him.

One of the groups is the Investigation Team and the Police.

The other group consists of the four opponents arranged for Xu Mo by the Program Crew.

Hacker Gao Liming.

The wealthy second‑generation heirs, Zhang Wenrui and Zhao Tianyi.

Martial‑arts expert Wang Hao.

At this moment, the four are sitting inside the Monitoring Room of the Exhibition Venue.

They show no sign of nervousness.

They even formed a team to play a battle‑royale.

Their relaxation has a reason.

Because part of the security measures in this Exhibition Event were set up by them.

They of course trust themselves, and trust even more the security measures they installed.

It is precisely because they over‑trust themselves that the four now have nothing to do but drink tea, sleep, play games, and flirt with girls.

They are completely unconcerned about the gem being stolen.

In fact, compared with the gem being stolen, they think the chance of Xu Mo being caught by them is even greater.

Speaking of it, the security of this Exhibition Event can only be described as watertight.

First are the security guards.

The guards were all arranged by Wang Hao.

The dozens of guards in the Exhibition Venue, each one, are veterans with highly skilled abilities.

Not even one Xu Mo, let alone another twenty Xu Mos, would be enough to watch.

Besides the security forces, another headache for Xu Mo is the surveillance.

The surveillance here is not networked; being offline means it cannot be hacked, and there are many cameras with no blind spots.

The offline surveillance prevents Xu Mo from hacking it, and the number of cameras is doubled to ensure 360‑degree coverage without blind spots; several teams are scheduled to take turns watching the feeds, and any suspicious person is immediately locked down across the venue—this was all devised by Gao Liming.

Like Xu Mo, he is also a hacker, so he knows exactly how to deal with a hacker.

As for the highly secure Electronic Locks on the Display Cabinet, they were provided by the two wealthy heirs.

Even a lockpicker with decades of experience could not open the Electronic Locks on the Display Cabinet.

Besides the locks, they also set up a safeguard.

In fact, the Blue Sapphire in the Display Cabinet… is fake.

The real Blue Sapphire is not in the Display Cabinet at all, but in a safe cabinet inside the Monitoring Room.

"North still has one left, missing a thread of blood!"

"Nice! Got the chicken!"

A game just ended.

The four habitually glanced at the surveillance.

Nothing abnormal.

"Sigh, when will Xu Mo finally make a move? If he doesn't come, how can we catch anyone?"

"Do you think he's scared and doesn't dare to come?"

"Possibly, we made this Exhibition Event watertight; if he comes, he'll only get caught!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking, let's play another round…"
