Chapter 362: Can a Dream Really Be Taken Seriously?

"What do you mean you 'pick up' an Aircraft Carrier? There are only a few in the whole world, and you pick up one… where would you even pick it up?"

"What if—I'm saying, what if I actually did pick one up?" Xu Mo continued.

Han Fei didn't even think, and spoke straight away.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Where does such a 'what if' come from? Why would you suddenly have this strange idea?"

Xu Mo blurted out, "I dreamed about it last night."

Hearing that, Han Fei couldn't help but laugh; the youngster really does love to daydream.

Can something dreamed be taken seriously? Obviously not!

He used to often dream of picking up money, but he hasn't actually picked up any money yet, let alone an Aircraft Carrier… that's simply impossible!

Nevertheless, Han Fei thought about it a little in his mind.

If anyone could actually pick up a 'wild' Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier, that person would be more worth studying than the Sheer Cliff itself!

This is definitely a luck child; others at most pick up money or phones, and he picks up an Aircraft Carrier! How is that even possible?

The state might even grant the naming rights of the Aircraft Carrier to the person who picked it up, since this kid's luck has reached a god-defying level, and letting him name the carrier would be a good thing.

Naming the Aircraft Carrier… that's a chance for nationwide fame and to bring glory to one's ancestors! A hundred years later, his descendants will leave the first incense at his grave!

Of course, this can't happen; how could anyone have such god-defying luck?

"You take a dream seriously… stop worrying about all this. When Chen Ke's injury heals enough, you two should hurry back. I'll investigate what reward they're offering you."

"Alright, Han Team."

"That's it for now, I'm hanging up."

……

After ending the call with Han Fei, Xu Mo absentmindedly walked out of the suite's room.

Han Fei didn't take the matter to heart, but Xu Mo kept thinking about it; he couldn't stop ruminating because he actually had an Aircraft Carrier!

A 120,000‑ton Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier!

Because the reward was too large for System Space to hold, the system stored it temporarily; the storage period is one month, after which it is considered forfeited and the reward automatically voids.

Within that month, Xu Mo may choose any time and place to manifest it into the real world; if he doesn't claim it within a month, the reward disappears.

Xu Mo must think ahead about how to handle this massive object.

After manifesting it, simply tossing it into international waters for occasional play is obviously impossible; what if another country snatches this sea‑borne behemoth?

But if he doesn't manifest it, the reward will vanish…

After pondering all night, Xu Mo had formed a plan: once he returns to Yangcheng, he'll manifest the Aircraft Carrier and hand it over to the state. It's the safest and his most satisfactory solution.

003 has just been launched; foreigners are probably still amazed at Dragon Country's military strength, and 004 follows, also a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier!

Wouldn't that scare those bastards' big teeth?

As a Dragon Country citizen, Xu Mo enjoys the feeling of foreigners being astonished by how powerful Dragon Country is!

Of course, the Aircraft Carrier can't be handed over directly.

After all, building an Aircraft Carrier is extremely difficult and costs astronomical sums; you can't just assemble one with a few people, so he doesn't intend to claim it as his, but will say it was picked up while sailing for recreation!

I just have good luck; picking up an Aircraft Carrier isn't excessive, right?

Having decided how to deal with the Aircraft Carrier, Xu Mo began to wonder whether, as the 'picker' of the carrier, he could have naming rights.

If he could have the naming rights… that would be insanely cool!!

Which boy could refuse a chance to name an Aircraft Carrier?

……

Meanwhile.

Local Police Station.

Chief Zhang, sitting in the office, was ecstatic; since getting up, his smile hasn't left his face.

This joint raid was initiated by their Police Station, which took the lead; as the head of the bureau, Zhang also basked in the glory, and such merit helps his promotion!

They eradicated countless criminal gangs in one sweep, arresting over three hundred offenders—more than their station captures in an entire year.

From morning till now, his phone barely stopped ringing; calls from other precincts congratulating him were expected, and even superiors called to praise the Police Station's leadership of the operation.

From his subordinates, Chief Zhang learned that the large haul was thanks to Xu Mo.

When they were at the café, Xu Mo spotted the issue and called off the raid, preventing the police from alerting the targets.

It should be noted that the suited man was wearing a Wireless Earpiece; if the police's movements were transmitted through it, the Money Laundering Gang's mastermind might have fled immediately.

Moreover, Xu Mo quickly and accurately sketched the suspect's portrait, buying the police a lot of time; a slower sketch might have let the mastermind notice something was off due to prolonged loss of contact with the suited man.

One could say Xu Mo earned the top merit for capturing so many!

Evening.

The suite's door was knocked.

After opening the door, Xu Mo found the knocker was a police officer from the Police Station, whom they had met during yesterday's operation.

"Do you have time now? Chief Zhang wants to thank you and will treat you to dinner tonight."

Xu Mo nodded, "Yes."

"Do you need to freshen up, or shall we go now?"

"I'll just put on shoes and leave."

After Xu Mo, the officer went to the hospital and brought Chen Ke along.

In last night's operation, Chen Ke's contribution wasn't huge, but he did participate with Xu Mo; ignoring Chen Ke while praising only Xu Mo would be unreasonable, so some face‑saving is needed.

The dinner venue was a restaurant near the Police Station, not particularly upscale.

During the meal, Chief Zhang found Xu Mo increasingly agreeable—what a talent!

After three rounds of drinks, Chief Zhang even considered recruiting Xu Mo.

"Xu Mo, how do you feel about us? Are you still accustomed to the lifestyle and everything?"

"Pretty good, I'm used to it."

"Do you have a partner yet?"

"Well…," Xu Mo said with a smile, shaking his head, "Not yet."

"So you haven't thought about finding one? The girls from Fu Sheng are all quite good."

"I want to find one, but I have no connections. I hardly go out every day…" Xu Mo shrugged.

"Isn't that simple? I think you're pretty good, so how about I set you up? I have a daughter…"

Xu Mo: "???"
