It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

As Chen Mo walked, he kept looking at the light screen in front of him, which was visible only to him.

[Congratulations, host! Your sixth offspring has been born and has survived for a full month in good health.]

[Reward: 10 RMB in cash, with legal and traceable source of funds. Random skill lottery in progress...]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired: Elite Special Forces Combat Awareness and Firearms Proficiency from the Sharp Sword Commando Team.]

Holy crap.

Not some kind of superpower, but the abilities of real-world special forces soldiers?

In an instant, he gained a memory of serving in the army for two years, being selected for a special forces team, and finally joining the elite Sharp Sword Commando Team.

If it's just memorization, he may have only acquired knowledge.

However, when combined with his peak human physique, it's a different story.

Now, his body has muscle memory.

Awesome.

This is not just simple fighting ability.

Fighting is a one-on-one, face-to-face combat.

Combat awareness involves anticipation, utilizing the environment, taking the initiative, and always placing oneself in an advantageous position.

The difference between the two is like the difference between street fighting and battlefield survival.

Before he could finish processing it, another line of text popped up on the system interface.

[Host, you're awesome! Your hard work has resulted in the birth of six offspring in a short period. A super critical hit reward!]

Chen Mo was immediately amused.

Awesome? System, have you become a goofball?

But the next line of text made him stop laughing and instead left him dumbfounded.

[Gained: A 3x3x3 three-dimensional space, capable of storing non-living entities, bound to the host, and accessible via thought.]

Holy crap, the reward is a three-dimensional space?

3 meters by 3 meters by 3 meters, 27 cubic meters.

It can fit almost half the stuff of a house.

System, I love you!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"System, in this space, which is accessed through thought, if a bullet were to come right in front of me, could I catch it?"

An extra line of text appeared on the screen.

Please try it yourself, host.

Chen Mo scratched his head.

Holy crap.

Try it yourself?

What if I can't catch it? Wouldn't I be dead?

However, he suddenly had a strong urge to give it a try.

What if it actually succeeds? Wouldn't that mean... I won't eat beef?

At this moment, Gu Qingyao picked up the phone and answered it.

"Okay, come over here, I'll give you my location."

She hung up the phone, turned to Chen Mo and said, "A good friend of mine is coming over. Coincidentally, he has a jade trading company here and a car."

Chen Mo nodded.

A few cars pulled up on the side of the road shortly afterward.

The car door opened, and seven or eight people got out, all dressed in black suits.

The young man at the head of the group was wearing a dark blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a discreet but expensive watch on his wrist.

He has regular facial features, a tall and straight figure, and a gentle smile.

A standard template for a domineering CEO male lead in short dramas.

"Qingyao, are you alright? I heard from your uncle that something happened to you, so I rushed over as soon as possible."

He strode up to Gu Qingyao, his words full of concern and reproach.

"You too, sneaking off here without telling me?"

Chen Mo's gaze fell on the top of his head, where a line of words appeared.

[Damn, this woman is incredibly lucky; she's actually alright?]

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes.

The man looked at him too, and the second line of text appeared.

Who is this man? Gu Qingyao came here alone; could it be for him?

Chen Mo cursed under his breath.

That woman.

Is this the "good friend" she was talking about?

Gu Qingyao smiled slightly.

"Brother Hao, it's my fault. I shouldn't have come alone. You almost didn't get to see me again."

She turned to introduce Chen Mo.

This man's name is Qin Hao, the grandson of Elder Qin from the Baiyue Province Cultural Relics Bureau.

Mr. Qin was a good friend of her grandfather and a respected elder in their family.

Old Qin is currently in Ningcheng, helping her handle the aftermath of the museum incident.

Qin Hao and she grew up together and had a good relationship.

Chen Mo nodded.

But a sigh escaped his lips.

Sigh, I thought this girl would be set for life once she got rid of Zhao Qiming.

The enemy was hiding deeper than he had imagined.

This Qin Hao is clearly the mastermind behind the plot to harm Gu Qingyao.

I wonder if that Old Qin is an even bigger boss?

Gu Qingyao continued to introduce him to Qin Hao.

"Brother Hao, if it weren't for Chen Mo, I would be dead for sure. He's incredibly skilled, even more so than all the bodyguards I hired."

Qin Hao extended his hand with a warm smile.

"So you're the expert who sold those two rare items to Qingyao. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Chen Mo grasped his hand.

The words above his head have changed again.

[Is he Chen Mo? The person Zhao Mingyuan mentioned? Sure enough, he's the mastermind behind Gu Qingyao. We've finally found him.]

Chen Mo smiled.

"Nice to meet you."

Qin Hao shook his hand, his tone very sincere.

"Chen Mo, you saved Qingyao. When you return to Ningcheng, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know."

The words above his head have been updated again.

This time, I absolutely cannot let them return to Ningcheng. I must sell them to the industrial park to make up for my losses.

"Okay," Chen Mo said with a smile, "Definitely."

Qin Hao released his hand and touched his stomach.

"Oh dear, I'm so hungry. Qingyao, come on, let's go eat. I know a farmhouse restaurant around here that serves really good local specialties."

"Okay, we're hungry too."

Gu Qingyao was about to take a step.

Chen Mo pulled her back and smiled.

"Young Master Qin, we won't go. The police said that Long Tai's gang of thugs hasn't been caught yet, and they suggested that Qingyao accept police protection."

He pulled Gu Qingyao and led her towards the Municipal Bureau.

Gu Qingyao was a little confused. "What's wrong?"

Chen Mo lowered his voice.

"If you don't want to die, come with me."

Gu Qingyao froze.

She didn't ask why.

Having just escaped death, she is now on edge.

Chen Mo must have his reasons for saying that.

Qin Hao's smile froze on his face.

"Damn, Qingyao, I came here personally to protect you. Don't be afraid, let's go."

"Brother Hao, I've decided to take the police's advice and wait until they solve the case. Those guys are too scary; they have guns. I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Qin Hao's expression changed.

Did they figure it out?

Impossible! Neither Zhao Qiming nor Zhao Mingyuan gave any explanation.

Could it be that she's really afraid of causing me trouble?

"Then I'll take you there."

"It's just a few steps, no need for that. However, I would like to trouble Young Master Qin to give me a ride later."

Chen Mo sneered inwardly. Since you want to sell me out, I'll give you the chance.

Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Chen Mo's words.

It seems we haven't been exposed.

"Sure, your business is my business."

Not long after, Chen Mo and Gu Qingyao entered the city bureau's gate.

"Chen Mo, what did you discover?"

"It's not that we've discovered anything, but rather that you said you don't trust people from your company, so why not add another one: don't trust your acquaintances for now?"

"But, Qin Hao..."

What is the relationship between Qin Hao and Zhao Mingyuan?

Gu Qingyao was stunned for a moment.

"We have a very good relationship."

Her expression changed drastically after she said those three words.

"You mean...?"

"Even if the probability is small, if Qin Hao and Zhao Mingyuan are in cahoots, leeching off your company, what will happen if you're with him now?"

Gu Qingyao's expression was solemn. "I understand."

"Good. You stay here for now and let Director Yang make the arrangements. I'll take care of my business first and pick you up for the public auction tomorrow."

"Where are you going?"

"Don't worry about it, just stay put."

Damn it, instead of living in fear, we should take the initiative.

With the physical capabilities of a human at their peak, plus the ability to operate in three dimensions, what is there to fear from these people?
