“I’ve got to say, kid, you only just met her today, why do you want to meet your blind date every day?” Old Mai remarked, raising an eyebrow. “You used to say you didn’t want to go on blind dates at all. Now, what’s changed?”

Old Mai continued, emphasizing that their daily work at the police station was quite hectic, involving everything from resolving neighborhood disputes to patrolling the streets. They were always present wherever there was trouble.

However, even in such a dynamic environment, each officer had specific responsibilities. For instance, Su Xuan was usually part of the patrolling team, but it was the first time he had volunteered for a specific location like this.

So, when Old Mai heard Su Xuan’s words, he couldn’t help but be intrigued.

“Chief, please don’t get me wrong,” Su Xuan quickly clarified. “I’m not interested in ATiss Zhao. It’s just that I heard from her that the train station has a significant problem with thieves and pickpockets.”

“I believe the station could use some extra manpower.”

“If possible, I’d like to be assigned to the station.”

However, Old Mai didn’t entirely buy Su Xuan’s explanation. Why hadn’t he mentioned this earlier? Why now, immediately after his date with Zhao Ruoxi?

Incidents involving thieves and pickpockets at the train station were not recent occurrences. Old Mai found it hard to believe that Su Xuan had suddenly remembered this issue.

Nonetheless, Su Xuan was a young man, and they had only just met Zhao Ruoxi. They should interact more. Besides, given Su Xuan’s recent contributions to the station, Old Mai felt indebted. Not to mention that the chief of the Huangzhou District Police Station had treated him differently since then.

Old Mai couldn’t help but feel proud of Su Xuan’s recent achievements, and he was willing to accommodate his requests.

“All right!” Old Mai agreed with a wave of his hand. “If you insist on going there, so be it.”

“But the large-scale anti-pickpocketing operation at the station is out of the question.”

“I can arrange for you to patrol there, kid…”

“Good luck!”

“Feel free to ask me if you need anything. Treat me like your brother; whatever you want to say, just say it, got it?”

Su Xuan was almost sweating at this point.

This was a big deal! Even if you treat me like a brother, 1 dare not treat you like one!

Chief, you are my great chief!

“Thank you, Chief!” Su Xuan quickly expressed his gratitude. Old Mai chuckled and waved him off, allowing him to leave the office.

Satisfied with the outcome, Su Xuan left the police station and returned home.

The next day, Su Xuan’s partner changed to Tian Genchui, who had been patrolling the train station for a long time. Tian Genchui was highly familiar with all aspects of the station and knew every nook and cranny where they could take a break after clocking out beneath the surveillance cameras.

Upon hearing that his new partner was none other than Su Xuan, the recent “star partner” at the police station, Tian Genchui was somewhat surprised.

“Su Xuan, for the next week, we’ll be patrolling together,” Tian Genchui informed him. “I’ll show you where to clock in, and sometimes we’ll need to split up to check different surveillance cameras.”

Without further ado, Tian Genchui hopped onto his motorcycle. Although Su Xuan had a driver’s license, since Tian Genchui had already taken the driver’s seat, Su Xuan just sat behind him.

“Sure thing, Brother Tian,” Su Xuan replied. “All, I’ll rely on you a lot during this time!”

Tian Genchui revved the engine, and the motorcycle zoomed forward. His voice carried back to Su Xuan over the wind.

“You don’t need to thank me so much!”

“Besides, you’ve been pretty daring lately. Who knows, I might benefit from tagging along with you.”

“In the end, we’ll see who’s thankful to whom!”

“If we can really catch a few criminals today, I’ll be laughing…”

Everyone working at the police station wanted to make a significant contribution. However, the opportunities available for grassroots officers were limited. Even when they had a chance, they couldn’t send everyone.

After all, catching criminals wasn’t something they could just will to happen. It depended on luck!

As for catching thieves and pickpockets in their jurisdiction, it was even more unpredictable.

Their patrols were meant to enhance vigilance and deter criminals, but unless a crime happened right in front of them, it was challenging to apprehend anyone. If an officer had the skills to closely track suspects based on evidence, it was a different story.

Tian Genchui didn’t see himself in that light. He was an experienced officer at the station, but he didn’t possess the extraordinary abilities needed to identify criminals through subtle clues. His patrols usually resulted in catching a few petty thieves at most.

This time, going out with Su Xuan, he hoped they might catch a few criminals…

After all, daydreaming didn’t cost a thing!

Hearing Tian Genchui’s words, Su Xuan smiled somewhat awkwardly and shifted his gaze to the sky. His system panel was displayed there, showing various options.

Looking at this system panel, Su Xuan couldn’t help but think, “Brother Tian, you never know, today might just be the day you encounter such a possibility!”

At this moment, Su Xuan was exploring his system space, particularly spending a long time in the system’s online store.

The small-time thieves they had previously apprehended had brought him a considerable number of points.

Su Xuan had previously purchased the “Hundred Strikes Sun Fist” for one thousand points, bringing his total points to two thousand. However, it seemed that the body enhancement potion was still a distant goal.

He now had two choices: either continue saving his points or spend them in advance and save later.

Su Xuan chose to spend them in advance.

“Upgrade the Sin Radar!”

[Ding! Would you like to upgrade the Sin Radar? Note: You have one available upgrade. Upgrade cost: One thousand points.]

“Are you kidding me? This is daylight robbery!” Su Xuan blurted out without thinking.

[Ding, System Product, fair and square! Please be aware, host!]

“Fair and square, my foot!” Su Xuan’s lips twitched. Did it think he was an illiterate who hadn’t read any novels? Sorry, but he’d read more novels than the system.

But now, all he relied on was this radar. “Upgrade it!”

[Ding! Congratulations, Su Xuan, on upgrading the Sin Radar. Deducting one thousand points. The radar now has a usable radius of fifty-five meters.]

SuXuan: ‘a’)-7 — –1— L

A thousand points for an upgrade that only increased the radius by twenty-five meters?! Are you kidding me?! It only cost 499 when I bought it!
