What? All the streets and shops within a ten-kilometer radius? Estimate the average number of people during peak hours? Even a computer would struggle to complete that in three days, let alone a human brain. After Wang Yun spoke, he quietly fixed his gaze on Thirteen. Everyone else turned to look at him in stunned silence. Big Mouth nearly tipped over the seafood platter he was arranging. Thirteen said nothing. His head hung low, and his hands fidgeted in front of him. His long,…-

They had made a lot of money this time. Wang Yun led the group to a small inn. Hotels required ID—something they didn’t have—so they couldn’t check in there. The inn was shabby and cold, but it was still better than sleeping on the street. To save money, they booked four rooms total. Wang Yun shared a room with Xiao Gang because Old Hu’s snoring was notorious and ruined his sleep. Once everything was arranged, Wang Yun gathered everyone into one of the rooms for their very first…

“Shellfish, large ones, sixty-one pounds. “Sea fish, ninety-one pounds. Oysters: twenty large, ten small. “Crabs, thirty-five per pound. Lobsters, forty-five per pound.” Just as Wang Yun was about to speak, Thirteen—who was usually silent—suddenly spoke up. Everyone froze. They turned to look at him. After quoting the prices, Thirteen calmly fixed his gaze on the buyer in front of them. The buyer was stunned. Weren’t these guys new to the Sero Market? How could they know the…

Wang Yun raised an eyebrow. “Have you all forgotten the rules already?” He paused for a beat, and Xiao Gang picked up the thread. “Eliminating a regular program inspector earns you a hundred thousand. Eliminating an elite inspector earns a million. And eliminating a squad captain… nets ten million!” As Xiao Gang finished, the group finally understood. Any lingering sleepiness vanished; they sat up straight, eyes gleaming with excitement. “That’s right. After we sell off this…

“The team currently in first place hails from Zhilihui. A small country, but every single member of their squad is an amateur. Still, they’re all incredibly bold, and even the regular program inspectors say these people have a natural talent for catching fugitives.” Wu Mingyu’s admiration for the team from Zhilihui was obvious. When he finished speaking, Zhao Youcheng nodded in agreement and picked up a folder from the side. “I’ve done a background check on them. They’re all strong…

The sea fish thrashed wildly in Old Hu’s hands, easily weighing close to four pounds. It was strong, full of fight. “Not bad, Old Hu! Looks like that fishing trip with the boss actually taught you something!” Xiao Gang looked up, saw the fish, and shouted excitedly. But then, the next thing he said wiped the smile clean off Old Hu’s face. “If we take this to the Sero Market, it should fetch a decent price.” As soon as he said that, everyone instinctively did the same thing. They…

The vendor took the business card, glanced at it twice, then looked up again with a fawning grin. “Oh, so you’re the head chef! These oysters were just caught. If you’re taking the whole lot, I’ll give you a special price.” As he spoke, the boss waved toward the woman beside him. “That’s my wife. She’s got more over there. Prices are negotiable.” The wife brought over another bucket, brimming with fresh shellfish. Ying Yuezi raised a hand and declined politely. “No…

The entire livestream chat burst into laughter. “Yes, you’re a good person.” “Here, have your Good Person Card. Carry it with you for life!” Of course, not everyone was amused by BeiBei’s stunt. Some viewers found it distasteful, even unethical. After leaving the scene, BeiBei seemed to reflect on that, and she spoke to the camera with a casual mutter. “If you all really care about the show’s reputation, then pay that guy back, for both the money and the meal. Obviously,…

The inspection team from the prestigious police family had also arrived in the southern part of the city. The streets were packed—malls on every corner, shops lining both sides of the road. By now, dusk was settling in, and the foot traffic had only grown denser. Search efforts across the city were ramping up. At that moment, BeiBei was walking toward a restaurant with the besotted homebody who had picked her up. The restaurant was modern and stylish, offering mostly simple meals. While it…

Out of everyone on the beach, Wang Yun, Old Hu, and Xiao Gang looked the most like actual fishermen. Their movements were practiced and deft. Each of them held a bucket in one hand, kept their backs bent, and carefully scanned the shallow seawater at their feet for seafood. Every so often, they’d squat down, and when they stood up again, there’d be a shellfish or a crab wriggling in their grasp. The livestream viewers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Did I click into the wrong stream?…
