"Seven-thirty. Right on time."
Su Mo glanced at his phone, then walked over to the full-length mirror to carefully fix his messy hair.
They say the ultimate destination in life is a government job.
Well, lucky him.
After graduating from the police academy, Su Mo smoothly became a police officer at the Nancheng District precinct of Yunhai City.
Originally, he had aimed to join the Criminal Investigation Division. All his qualifications met the standard.
But for certain reasons, he could only be assigned to a local precinct.
The reason? His father was the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division.
According to regulations, immediate family members are not allowed to work in the same unit.
Especially not in a superior-subordinate relationship.
Because of this, Su Mo was placed in the precinct.
And today was his first day reporting for duty.
Su Mo got up early in the morning—he definitely didn't want to be late on his first day.
He'd heard that the precinct chief had quite the temper.
At 7:35, Su Mo stepped out of his house.
Thanks to his old man, his place was only a ten-minute walk from the station.
Totally enough time to get there.
But just then, something unexpected happened on the way.
[Ding! Host is about to take post. The God-Tier Police Detective lottery system has awakened. Would Host like to bind the system?]
A system?
Su Mo raised an eyebrow in surprise—but more than that, he was excited.
As a member of the "traversing army," he'd been mentally prepared for this for twenty-two years.
It came a bit late, sure. But it still came!
And that name!
God-Tier Police Detective—just the sound of it screamed badass.
"Bind it!"
Su Mo declared with absolute certainty.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. God-Tier Police Detective system successfully bound!]
[By arresting criminals, solving cases, or eliminating threats to public safety, Host will earn points!]
[Points can be used to draw prizes or enhance physical stats!]
The system's functions were simple. After getting a full overview, Su Mo opened his personal panel:
[Name: Su Mo]
[Age: 22]
[Position: Police Officer, Nancheng District Precinct, Yunhai City]
[Rank: Third-Class Inspector (One Bar, One Star)]
[Physique: 110 (Average Human: 100)]
[Mental Strength: 105 (Average Human: 100)]
[Detective Points: 0]
[Detective Skills: None]
[System Evaluation: A pretty ordinary yet slightly handsome police officer]
After reading his profile, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction.
Years of police academy weren't for nothing—his physique and mental strength were both above average.
Still… something felt missing.
"System, where's the welcome gift? You trying to pocket it?"
As someone deeply familiar with transmigration tropes, Su Mo asked with a knowing smirk.
[Ding! For our clever Host, here's one free lottery draw!]
Su Mo grinned.
"Start the draw."
As soon as the words left his mouth, a translucent interface only visible to him appeared before his eyes.
A spinning wheel lit up the screen, rotating at high speed.
"My first God-Tier draw… what kind of skill will it be?"
Su Mo stared in anticipation, his mind racing.
"Firearms Mastery? Nah, not great—police officers don't have gun licenses here."
"Military Combat Techniques? Now that's useful, perfect for catching perps..."
As the wheel spun, Su Mo was busy daydreaming with joy.
This was a God-Tier lottery—no way it'd give him something useless, right?
[Ding! Draw complete. Host, please check your skill panel.]
Hearing the system prompt, Su Mo opened the panel with high expectations.
[Detective Skill: Cloud-Piercing Hand (With this skill, you're only one resignation away from becoming the Thief King. Keep it up, kid!)]
Su Mo: "?????"
"I'm a damn cop and you gave me a thieving skill?"
"System, are you serious right now?"
Looking at the skill description, Su Mo was completely dumbfounded.
The moment the skill activated, a huge stream of knowledge flooded his brain.
All sorts of unbelievable pickpocketing techniques—he could now perform them effortlessly, better than any so-called master.
The system wasn't lying—if he weren't a cop, he could totally become the Thief King.
But... he was a law-abiding Third-Class Inspector, dammit!
If he ever turned to crime, he wouldn't even need the law to punish him—his dad would beat him to death first!
While Su Mo stood there frozen in place, stunned by that absurd skill…
Not far away, a scrawny young man in a baseball cap shuffled toward him, head down and body trembling.
Just as he got close, he suddenly tripped and bumped into Su Mo.
"Sorry, sorry…"
The kid apologized nervously, then quickly tried to walk past.
"It's fine—wait, huh?"
Su Mo waved a hand, not thinking much of it—
Until he noticed a tear in the side pocket of his jacket, with half his phone already hanging out.
He immediately understood.
That damned Cloud-Piercing Hand—of course he knew what had just happened.
This little pickpocket actually tried to steal from him—a police inspector?
But clearly, the guy was still a rookie.
The blade hadn't cut deep enough, the phone didn't fully come out, and he was already turning to run.
"Hold it right there!"
Su Mo grabbed the young man by the collar and burst into a laugh from sheer disbelief.
"With skills like that, you really think you're cut out for this line of work?"
The young man thrashed wildly at first.
But when he realized escape was impossible, he gave up and begged, face full of misery:
"Big Bro, please spare me. You can tell it's my first time!"
"I've got 200 yuan on me—I'll give it all to you, just let me go!"
The kid tried to pay his way out of trouble.
Su Mo just laughed in anger.
Trying to bribe a cop? Seriously?
But just as the kid reached for his money, Su Mo raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly.
"Hey, where's my money?!"
"Damn it! My phone's gone! I just bought that Orange-brand phone!"
The young man patted his pockets and his expression turned to pure horror. Then he erupted:
"You sons of bitches! One of you actually stole from your own teammate? Whoever it is, I swear I'll find you—I'm not done with you yet!"
Watching the kid curse up a storm, Su Mo felt oddly satisfied.
At least the skill had its uses.
It had let him search the guy in an instant, lifting every potential weapon without making a sound.
"Be good. I'll hold onto these for now."
Su Mo shook the stolen items he had confiscated, then pocketed them.
They might belong to someone else—he'd need to report them to the station later for verification.
After securing the goods, Su Mo decided to take the kid with him to report for duty.
Catching a thief on the way in? Not a bad start.
But just then—
The kid looked relieved instead of scared, his eyes lighting up.
"Oh thank god! So you're one of us!"
"Senior! Are you here for the Thief King Selection too?"
Su Mo, halfway through tying the kid's waistband to restrain him, froze.
Thief King Selection?
What the hell was that?
