Chapter 117 - System Update Compensation

"Thud—"

The man was thrown heavily onto the deck like a dead dog, blood covering his face and body.

Mu Wen was terrified, instinctively turning his head to look, and then he saw a man with gloomy eyes and bloodstains on his face walking out of the cabin.

Mo Tun first glanced at Mu Wen, then quickly walked over to the person on the ground, lifted him up, his voice slightly hoarse: "Still dare to lie to me? Huh?"

"No, I don't dare, I don't dare—"

Even though beaten bloody all over, the man didn't dare to resist at all, looking at Mo Tun fearfully and trembling all over, continuously pleading: "I'm sorry, brother, I was just momentarily blinded by greed—"

"Don't dare? No, you dare quite a lot—"

The next moment, Mo Tun threw a punch at the man's face, instantly knocking out several of his teeth.

One tooth even flew to Mu Wen's feet.

Mu Wen stepped back in shock and horror.

Immediately after, he saw Mo Tun pull out a small knife and stab it directly into the other's mouth, digging out all his teeth in an extremely brutal manner.

And it wasn't just simple digging; it was directly gouging out the teeth along with flesh, blood, and bone all neatly together. When encountering hard spots, Mo Tun would step on the person's head, use the knife to slice open the cheek skin and pry it open forcefully, completely disregarding the other's piercing screams. Only after the bloody objects successively fell at his feet did Mo Tun finally stand up and kick the person who had already gone into shock from blood loss.

Witnessing this scene, Mu Wen felt a wave of nausea churning in his stomach.

However, before he could find a place to compose himself, Mo Tun's gaze had already firmly locked onto him.

At that moment, Mu Wen felt his heart stop for a second, an emotion of extreme fear rushing straight to his mind.

His nose stung, and Mu Wen almost burst into tears on the spot.

"Who brought this guy?"

Mo Tun's voice was cold, carrying an undeniable pressure.

"This, this is a buddy who came with Wan Shan and the others, he's here temporarily to help, one of our own, previously responsible for appraisals."

A crew member promptly came over to help Mu Wen out of the situation.

"A temporary helper?"

Mo Tun smiled a seemingly amused but not truly smiling smile, then pulled this crew member close, and slapped him hard across the face with a bloodied hand: "Who allowed you to call him onto the ship? And fucking put him right in front of me?"

"I'm, I'm sorry—"

"Smack—"

Another slap.

Only after both cheeks of the crew member were stained with bloody handprints did Mo Tun let him go, and coldly roared: "Throw them out, set sail immediately!"

"Then, what about the remaining goods—"

"Tell them to take them to the warehouse and explain themselves, we're leaving now!"

"Yes, yes—"

The crew member, slapped bloody across the face, didn't dare to delay at all, directly grabbing Mu Wen and leaving. Mu Wen, in this situation, also didn't dare to resist at all, afraid that if he was even a bit slow, his life would be gone. He scrambled off the ship after the crew member, not even daring to look back.

After getting off the ship, Mu Wen saw another crew member carrying the person who was just on the ground and throwing him directly off the deck. Then the man was hung upside down in the sea.

His feet were tied with a rope, his head just submerged at the water level. The agony of being unable to breathe made his whole body writhe frantically.

Simultaneously, ripples spread across the water surface, with faint red traces of blood spreading up from below, accompanied by large, dense bubbles... Slowly, the bubbles decreased, and the man's struggles weakened until, finally, apart from the continuously spreading bloodstains, the water surface gradually became still.

Mu Wen didn't dare to look anymore, immediately lowered his head, got into Wan Shan's truck, and quickly drove away from the port...

--------------------

Next, Xiao He stayed with the "Sea Fog Pursuit" crew, filming intensively for three days.

During these three days, he quickly completed all of Mo Tun's scenes.

In the finale, the police wrap things up. The cunning Mo Tun senses something is wrong in advance and escapes alone on a speedboat, speeding towards the border, with the police hot on his heels in pursuit.

This sea chase was extremely intense. Mo Tun, truly living up to being someone who could repeatedly escape police capture, was fierce and strong enough, but the police were equally formidable. Those sent to pursue him were the elite of the elite, with the main goal being to apprehend these brutal criminals.

And ultimately, with a gunshot, Mo Tun's head blossomed with blood, and his whole body immediately collapsed powerlessly onto the speedboat.

By the time the police speedboats surrounded him, the man on the boat had already stopped breathing completely...

Xiao He returned to shore with "blood" on his head. Liu Rulan handed him a towel to wipe off the "bloodstains" while curiously looking him up and down.

"What's wrong, Sister Liu?" Xiao He asked.

Liu Rulan: "I'm telling you, it's really strange. You've already learned how to drive a speedboat, but you still haven't learned how to swim."

Xiao He broke into a sweat of embarrassment.

This wasn't something he could control either!

"Learning to drive a speedboat doesn't necessarily require you to learn how to swim first," Xiao He said righteously.

Liu Rulan: "But from a safety perspective, you should definitely learn to swim first."

Xiao He: ...

"Alright, no need to ask, I'll go back and learn."

Xiao He felt he should just obediently go back and improve himself.

Or wait for this damn system update to finish—

Xiao He glanced at the system update bar, which was progressing like an old tortoise, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, it should probably finish updating by the time I get back today.

This damn system, it better have updated some useful things...

Holding onto this unrealistic, beautiful fantasy, Xiao He washed his face, bid farewell to the other crew members with Liu Rulan, and then returned overnight to the "Law of the Jungle" film set.

After finishing things on this side and settling down to rest in the hotel, Xiao He opened the system again to check and indeed found the system update had reached 100%.

Xiao He decisively entered the system panel.

He first checked his points—

Hmm, no issues, it seems this stupid system really didn't discover him exploiting the bug... In fact, because points kept automatically increasing during this time, the total points had now reached the 70,000 mark.

What an encouraging situation!

Xiao He delightedly checked other areas, but found that the previous low-level lottery pool had disappeared, replaced by a points exchange.

[Points Exchange Details: Points can be directly exchanged for Lifespan Value and Crime Funds.]

Xiao He: ...?

Great, no need to worry about becoming Labor Boss's worker anymore!

But what about the part after that... Huh? Crime Funds?

Isn't that just money?

System! You've changed! You've become unfamiliar!

We never used to talk about money between us before!

But... ahem, it's not entirely unacceptable.

It's just... this Crime Funds of yours... is it clean money? Even though system products are definitely guaranteed, I hope it's not some dirty money laundered from a criminal group...

Uh, thinking about it that way, the money feels a bit hot to handle... Forget it, forget it, I won't exchange it for now, I'll wait and see later. If absolutely necessary, I can donate it, anyway, I'm not short of money right now.

Xiao He continued reading.
