Chapter 203: System Upgrade

When buying the plane ticket, Xu Mo did not choose to swipe a card.

Instead, he chose to use cash that had been exchanged earlier but not yet spent.

One reason was to empty the cash remaining on his person.

The second was that this could prevent the Investigation Team from locating them by checking bank card transaction records.

Previously, the Investigation Team was able to find Xu Mo and the others' hideout precisely because they examined several people's bank card transactions.

Although Xu Mo initially did not know how the Investigation Team obtained his location.

But later, after pondering for a while, Xu Mo finally thought of this.

He won't make the same mistake twice.

……

That day, Xu Mo flew back to the country and arrived in Jiangcheng.

With Xu Mo's departure.

The museum theft case in Sakura Country also became a cold case.

They will soon discover that the highly suspected West Eight Country person they captured is also not the perpetrator.

As for the stolen artifacts, they have been completely untraceable since then.

Because Xu Mo does not intend to bring out the artifacts he stole right now.

Xu Mo knows clearly that whether he sells or donates these artifacts, they would cause him enormous trouble.

After all, the national‑treasure‑level artifacts from the Sakura Country museum have just been stolen; if they suddenly appear in Dragon Country, it would be very detrimental to him.

The Sakura Country Police would soon associate the stolen museum artifacts with the Dragon Country suspect they once took to the police station for interrogation.

The theft of over a hundred national‑treasure‑level artifacts is no small matter.

It might even attract the International Criminal Police!

Then Xu Mo will have to face more than just the Investigation Team.

The Investigation Team will still be lenient, filling the gun used to capture Xu Mo with Rubber Bullets.

But the International Criminal Police are not so kind.

When they go after someone, they will use Real Weapons on the Sheer Cliff!

……

Program Backstage.

Watching the scene in the Live Broadcast Room.

A bitter smile appeared on Song Yixue's face.

Xu Mo has already arrived in Jiangcheng.

The Investigation Team is still lying in wait at the entrance of Anman Hotel on the East Meridian!

The two places are separated by more than two thousand kilometers.

When the hell will they finally be able to catch someone!?

Even the Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room started sending Danmaku questioning the Investigation Team's ability.

The Water Friends don't understand the Investigation Team's strength; could Song Yixue still not know?

In previous programs, when has the Investigation Team ever captured someone without it seeming like a game?

The shortest time was one hour to bring someone back; the longest was only two hours in total.

This is the Investigation Team's true capability.

Ordinary criminals have nowhere to hide from them.

Anyone who can endure two hours without being caught is considered impressive!

The Investigation Team may now appear clumsy, but not because they are incapable.

It's because Xu Mo is too hard to catch.

This leads everyone to think the Investigation Team is all name and no substance.

This is not what Song Yixue wants to see.

It also goes against the original purpose of the program.

She decides to intervene artificially to vindicate the Investigation Team.

At least she won't let the Water Friends think the cost of crime is low.

She wants the Water Friends to know.

Xu Mo being hard to catch does not mean ordinary people are also hard to catch, nor does it mean the Investigation Team lacks ability.

Thinking this, Song Yixue stood up and left the office.

"Xiao Wang, come here for a moment."

"Director Song, you calling me?"

"Hmm," Song Yixue nodded: "You told me last time that many people signed up wanting to join the next episode, right?"

"That's right, what's up, Director Song?"

Song Yixue thought for a moment, then continued.

"Do you still have the registration list?"

"I have it, Director Song."

"I want to tweak the program's rules a bit, increase the number of people playing the Escapee, starting this episode. Call each person on the list who wants to join, ask if they're interested in this episode, and then give me a summary of those who are interested."

"Alright, Director Song, then... do you have any other matters?"

"That's all," she said. "You may go."

After Xiao Wang left.

Song Yixue thought again, preparing to also change the reward mechanism.

Previously it was persisting one day reward 100,000.

This time the reward doubled, persisting one day reward 200,000.

Furthermore, this time also added a grand prize.

Those who can persist to the end and not be caught, additionally reward 20,000,000.

……

After calling all who had previously signed up and wanted to join the next episode.

Almost the majority just agreed outright.

For them, whether participating in the next episode or this episode actually doesn't matter.

Anyway, as long as they can participate in the show it's fine.

The specific which episode they join, such a trivial matter, they simply don't care.

After all, everyone's thoughts are very pure.

Simply just to go play, and incidentally experience the feeling of being chased.

Secondly, it's for the money.

This time's reward, compared to last time, is double!

Not to mention persisting to the end can also win the 20,000,000 grand prize.

Moreover, the water friends who have been watching all along know.

Xu Mo originally was an ordinary, couldn't be more ordinary office worker.

As a result, because of a series of outrageous operations in the show, he directly transformed, becoming a rich person!

This inevitably leads some water friends to have the illusion 'I could do it too'.

……

Jiangcheng.

Bar.

"Big Brother, you guys…… there are a lot of people, not playing like you guys.", a Waiwei reluctantly looked at Xu Mo.

A man with four women, now also wants to order another one.

Thinking about it, one should know…… this definitely plays very perverted!

Hearing this, Xu Mo shrugged his shoulders.

"If you can't accept it, then forget it, I'll find someone else."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Xu Mo preparing to find someone else, the Waiwei's attitude did a 180-degree turn.

Directly leaned close to Xu Mo's ear.

"No no, Big Brother you misunderstood, it's not that it can't be accepted, just…… need to add money!"

Next second, only saw Xu Mo smilingly pull out a stack of cash, waving it in front of her.

"Is this enough?"

"Enough! Of course enough!", the Waiwei instinctively reached to take the stack of money from Xu Mo's hand.

However, Xu Mo, at the moment before she reached out, pulled back his hand holding the money a bit, not letting her easily take the money.

Xu Mo with a doubtful expression: "I still feel a bit uneasy, is this safe? Won't we get caught?"

"Relax, we're professionals, have connections, the room I open will definitely not be inspected.", the Waiwei explained with a smile.

"Alright then.", saying, Xu Mo pushed the money forward: "Then you go first open the room, we'll come later, remember to open a suite."

The Waiwei just took the money and left.

In Xu Mo's mind, a prompt tone sounded.

"The system is upgrading……"
