Officer! You Can Get a First-class Merit Awards Just by Eating Melon Seeds?

Chapter 32 Promotion to Superintendent, Further Enhancement of Strength!At the perimeter, by the police cordon.

Xiao Liu’s arm was grabbed by a hand.

”Just let me interview your captain.”

Sun Yuanyuan wore an imploring expression; her boss had specifically said that if she could secure an exclusive interview this time, her previous failures would be overlooked, and she would be promoted immediately.

This was her last chance, and she had to seize it.

”That won’t work. I don’t know what conflict you had with Brother Mo, but if he doesn’t give the word, no one in the entire bureau would dare to let you interview him.”

Xiao Liu’s expression was serious; given Brother Mo’s current importance in Captain Long’s heart, no one would go against him unless the request was too unreasonable.

”I’m trying to interview your captain, not him, a mere police officer!”

Sun Yuanyuan was somewhat angered; it was the same last time.

She wasn’t interviewing Chen Mo, anyway. What right did a mere police officer have to make a captain listen to him?

Ridiculous!

”But our Captain Long has a very good relationship with Brother Mo. If he knew you used to look down on Brother Mo, he definitely wouldn’t accept your interview either.”

Sun Yuanyuan clenched her fists tightly, her face flushed red with anger.

”So, is Chen Mo the social butterfly of your bureau? You defend him, and your captain defends him too!”

It wasn’t strange for her to think this way, because in her impression, Chen Mo was unambitious and idle.

What kind of investigative ability could such a person have?

Then the only answer was that he was a social butterfly, getting along well with everyone.

”What are you saying?”

”Brother Mo’s current status was all earned through his own hard work.”

”And he won’t be just a police officer for long; he’s being promoted to Third-class Police Superintendent. We all guess that after this case ends, Brother Mo will receive a Third-class Merit.”

As he said this, an expression of admiration appeared on his face.

It wasn’t just him who admired Brother Mo; the other colleagues did too.

He was simply a role model for police officers of their generation.

To be able to have the leadership promote his police rank early while still just a police officer—what a great honor that was.

They didn’t even feel envy, only admiration.

Brother Mo’s ability was obvious to all; it was simply impossible to learn!

Third-class Merit? Promoted to Third-class Police Superintendent? Chen Mo?

An expression of disbelief appeared on Sun Yuanyuan’s face.

Could these two things really be related to Chen Mo?

But looking at Xiao Liu’s expression, he didn’t seem to be lying.

And there was no need to lie to her.

So this was true?

For a moment, her expression turned very ugly.

Half a year after graduation, promoted to Third-class Police Superintendent, receiving a Third-class Merit—was this still the Chen Mo in her memory?

This was clearly a rising star.

She was still in contact with other excellent classmates from the police academy.

Even the most capable ones wouldn’t be promoted to Third-class Police Superintendent until the end of the year.

How could Chen Mo do it?

Could it be that she had really misjudged him?

”He just has good luck.”

Unable to figure it out, she could only attribute Chen Mo’s current achievements to good luck.

There was nothing to brag about with Third-class Police Superintendent.

You get promoted once you reach the time limit; there are plenty of them.

When she wanted to say something more, she found that Xiao Liu had already left.

Her gaze passed through the crowd, looking at Chen Mo, who was leaving in a police car.

A feeling of annoyance surged in her heart.

At this moment, she felt that seeing Chen Mo doing well was more unbearable than being killed.

It was luck, it must be luck.

That night, eleven o’clock. Happiness Home residential complex. Chen Mo walked out of the bathroom, wiping his head with a towel in his right hand.

The Wang Chongyang case was considered closed.

Everyone who framed him in this case would subsequently receive the punishment they deserved by law.

And his parents would also receive a sum of compensation provided by the government.

”The harvest this time was quite significant. Instructor Yang helped me finalize the police rank promotion, and judging by what Long Hao said, the chances of being selected for a Third-class Merit are also very high.”

A Third-class Merit didn’t have much use for an ordinary person.

But for a public servant, the significance was much greater.

Promotions depend on seniority and ability, and a Third-class Merit is the most favorable proof.

While thinking about this, he stood in front of the clothes rack. His gaze fell on the shoulder insignia of his short-sleeved blue police uniform.

The original single flower had become one bar and one flower. He had skipped Third-class Police Officer and gone straight to Third-class Police Superintendent.

Instructor Yang was very capable; what was originally promised to take a week was finalized for him in two days.

”It seems I calculated correctly.”

The words Sun Yuanyuan had said earlier echoed in his ears, and a smile appeared on his face.

Lying on the bed, he summoned his panel.

[Host]: Chen Mo.

[Physique]: 10 (Ordinary person 10).

[Strength]: 10 (Ordinary person 10).

[Skills]: Reasoning LV12, Autopsy LV6, Criminal Psychology LV4, Trace Investigation LV4, Micro-expressions LV4.

[Items]: double melon-eating card (about to expire).

[”Fury” successfully solved, rewarded 4200 melon points.]

[double melon-eating card triggered, current melon points 8400.]

Looking at the double melon-eating card about to expire, Chen Mo felt a bit of pain in his heart.

It was just like the feeling when a very good item expires while playing a game.

But actually, it was fine, because in a few days, he would obtain another one.

Catching this last doubling meant it wasn’t wasted.

[Current melon points]: 9000. This included the 600 from eating melons with Uncle Wang earlier.

After reading these, he opened the betting agreement; this was his top priority for the week.

Whenever he had time, he would click to check it.

[betting agreement!]

[Task Requirements]: 7 days, eat melons on seven cases of Grade D or higher.

[Task Rewards]: 20000 melon points, 2 Skill Critical Hit Cards, (chance to obtain Hyenas Nose).

[Current Progress]: 3 times (3/7).

—Phew. Everything was developing in the direction he had envisioned.

40000 melon points, two Skill Critical Hit Cards. Four days; four days later, they would all be his.

Looking further down, the achievement system at the very bottom was flashing continuously. This made him look puzzled; the First Try achievement shouldn’t have been completed yet, right? Why did it suddenly light up?

[Achievement]: Big Spender.

[Task]: Accumulate spending of 20000 melon points.

[Rewards]: Challenge Card * 2, bronze chest * 1.

[Current Progress]: 70%.

So, was this a new achievement? He knew bronze chest could yield attribute points, but what were these challenge cards?

He didn’t understand for now, but he knew that anything produced by the system must be a quality product.

He glanced at his balance of 9000 again. If he spent it all, this achievement should be completed.

[Ding! You consumed 4400 melon points to upgrade Reasoning ability, currently LV13!!!]

[Ding! You consumed 2500 melon points to upgrade Autopsy ability, currently LV7!!!]

[Ding! You consumed 1300 melon points to upgrade Micro-expressions ability, currently LV5!!!]

[Ding! Trace Investigation upgrade failed, insufficient melon points.]

He glanced at the balance; only 800 remained. [’Big Spender’ achievement completed, you obtained two challenge cards and one bronze chest.]

His gaze fell on the introduction of the challenge cards. After a moment, he understood.

Simply put, the function of the challenge card was to have a PK with himself.

For example, when using it, he would fill in how long it would take to catch the murderer; if he caught them, and it matched the estimated time, then it counted as his victory.

But if the murderer wasn’t caught, or it took longer than the estimated time, the challenge was considered a failure.

And the rewards after victory made him completely hooked...
