This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 384 - 306: Are You That Awesome?_2

Although the police being caught by a guest on the program were explosive, if you put yourself in their shoes and substituted them with An Shengxu, they too might have let their guard down.

After all, no one could have anticipated a guest daring to counter target the police, not to mention such an occurrence being quite explosive even for criminals in real life.

Not to mention there were hidden Korean language abilities and the outrageous skill of voice changing.

Moreover, from An Shengxu’s detailed description, they could find out that the person had been guiding them step by step toward this outcome from the beginning.

"We might have underestimated this Hua Country star; he’s more troublesome than An Minghao and Jin Huiyan."

No, he’s much more troublesome, not even on the same level!

These two could at best be considered slightly smarter stars, but this person’s skills... were like something out of a spy movie!

Even though they were elite detectives, they were the kind in real life, not the ones in detective novels; how could they possibly guard against all these fancy tricks.

However, An Shengxu wasn’t caught for nothing; he too had learned from the experience.

"His build isn’t hard to recognize, even if he’s fully covered up a careful look could still reveal something familiar."

"Also, they kept circling nearby, and the place they left me was not too far from the venue; I suspect they might have stashed something at the venue they needed to retrieve, I suspect they have a car."

"Also, when he grabbed me, the force wasn’t very strong. I pretended to break free and run at one point, but he didn’t catch me; he just reported me to the director."

"Besides, when I heard them exchanging information, their safe points are not just the four we now know of, there’re others; Shen Zaixian’s map isn’t comprehensive, we could ask if he’s seen anyone else’s map."

An Shengxu checked his belongings, "My money is gone, about two hundred thousand Korean Won, they’re not short of money now, and my phone is still here, but captain, all the information we posted in the group must have been read by him... Eh, how could the walkie-talkie be missing?"

An Shengxu noticed that his phone was placed on the car’s center console, but for the life of him, couldn’t find the walkie-talkie.

Something was off here, why keep the phone but take the walkie-talkie?

Didn’t he know that walkie-talkies could be tracked when powered on?

Jin Zhenghe frowned, "He must have guessed it’s troublesome for us to switch walkie-talkie channels, this is a dedicated channel we applied for, our main station and several other departments all use this channel, changing it would require notifying each one... Let the main station closely monitor your walkie-talkie’s location, report immediately upon activation, and we’ll communicate important messages through the phone."

The police were summarizing their experiences.

An Shengxu was holding back a bellyful of fire; initially, catching Wu Mu might have been because he was too arrogant and conspicuous.

But now... if they didn’t catch this person and redeem themselves, once the show aired, he’d become a laughingstock and face social death!

...

"Why did you even help Zhengguo escape? Why not let him get caught?"

By this time, Wu Mu and Jin Huiyan had already gotten into the car they had driven over, and with the money they had, they went out and bought two sets of cheap hoodies and changed into them.

With hoods up and masks on, they wouldn’t stand out in a crowd, no longer easily recognizable.

They were on their way to the nearest safety point marked with vital clues.

En route, Jin Huiyan asked curiously, intrigued by his earlier rescue of Song Zhengguo.

Wu Mu shook his head, "It’s too soon for him to be caught now, the game has only just begun. Letting them get caught later on will distract more police force."

"Oh, I see."

Jin Huiyan nodded. After the series of events earlier, she had developed a certain trust in her current partner.

Even though she seemed to be playing a supporting role and didn’t get much to do, the feeling of being occasionally carried by a big shot was pretty cool!

"So you took the walkie-talkie back to occasionally turn it on and listen in on their information?" she asked offhandedly while driving.

"That’s part of it, but mainly I wanted them to feel walkie-talkies were not secure, to encourage them to use their phones more."

Hmm?

What did she mean by ’use their phones more’?

Jin Huiyan turned her head in confusion.

Wu Mu chuckled, "I installed a monitoring app on that Officer An’s phone, then hid the app. Later on, we can use your phone to monitor his chat records and location information on his phone."

A monitoring app!!?

Jin Huiyan’s hand suddenly jerked.

No way.

What did you say you did!?

Jin Huiyan slammed on the brakes, staring at Wu Mu with a shocked expression.

The cameraman and editor who were following and filming in the backseat were also stunned.

Wu Mu laughed, "It’s not as mysterious as you think, it’s just a normal commercial software. There are actually quite a few such softwares on the market, like Hoverwatch, mSpy, uMobix, etc. You can use them as long as you download and pay for them. I don’t have a bank card to pay, so I could only use a trial version with time limits, but it’s enough for location tracking and monitoring their social media chats."

Jin Huiyan shook her head, "I’ve never heard of it."

"It’s normal for people who don’t use it outside, and those who don’t engage in this area know less about it," Wu Mu waved his hand.

"Outside world?"

Jin Huiyan caught the keyword.

Wu Mu immediately straightened up, "Don’t you know I’m actually a game developer who’s temporarily being a celebrity? You’d know a bit about this if you frequent coding forums."

Ah?

Game developer?

Jin Huiyan looked at Wu Mu blankly and confused.

What the hell is this?

The director and the rest of the staff were also confused.

Now it was Wu Mu’s turn to look at them strangely, "Not knowing my voice-changing skill is okay, since I’ve only used it on one show, but not knowing that I can make games? Shouldn’t that be mentioned in my profile?"

The director felt guilty; they couldn’t just say they hadn’t really cared about this person before.

They simply thought he was a sponsor’s guest flying in for one episode.

They also didn’t understand Chinese and didn’t know how to check his information on Hua Country’s internet, so they just had an intern handle it.

But...

This new information was just too much!

It was already a stretch to hide the fact that you could speak Korean and change your voice, but making games? What’s that about?

Jin Huiyan was also shocked—so multi-talented?

She thought she should really go back and watch all the episodes with her temporary partner.

With the surprising fact that Wu Mu could make games, she wasn’t even concerned about the surveillance issue anymore, but rather asked curiously, "Have you made games yourself?"

Wu Mu nodded, "I’ve released two so far, one open-source and one through pre-sales, oh, right..."

Wu Mu turned towards the camera and smiled, "Are there any viewers from Hua Country watching? The official release of ’Vampire Survivor’ is on the 8th next month, I’ll release it before the end of the year, so no need to rush me."

Jin Huiyan’s curiosity peaked, "Is your game followed by many people?"

"Quite a few."

"How many is ’quite a few’?" The director, also concerned with potential program impact and visuals, couldn’t help asking.

Wu Mu thought for a moment, "Pre-sales reached 83 million, considering an average price of 28, that’s about three million sets."

???

How few?

Jin Huiyan hesitated, "Korean Won?"

Wu Mu looked at her, "Chinese Yuan."

Just giving me so much for no reason, huh.

Chinese Yuan?

Remembering the exchange rate, Jin Huiyan quickly did the math in her head—83 million Chinese Yuan is... over 15.9 billion Korean Won!?

Ah?

Ah?

Are you kidding me?

Making games and selling them for over 15.9 billion Korean Won are two completely different things.

Jin Huiyan was utterly bewildered.

Was this even real?

How could someone earning so much from making games still want to be a celebrity?

While Jin Huiyan was lost in her thoughts, the director already started searching on his phone.

"Freakin’ hell! It’s true!"

The director lifted his mobile screen to the camera, showing everyone.

The content wasn’t in English, but in their own Korean reports.

[The game "Vampire Survivor" explodes in popularity, estimated three million sets pre-sold for a total of nearly 160 billion Korean Won.]

It was a report from a gaming media outlet, and there were many more like it; the game was actually quite well-known in South Korea.

Many of their own streamers had played and recommended it, just unknown to those who weren’t into games.
