Several seconds later, Qing Lan replied with a line of text, followed by an emoji of shock.

Qin Mu chuckled. He didn't reply to her again. It wasn't what he had wanted anyway. At the time, when he had found the lottery shop, the issue wouldn't have escalated to the courtroom if the shop had been willing to return the ticket.

A few minutes later, seeing that he hadn't replied, Qing Lan took the initiative to say, "Up, I have some good news for you! I got my new house!"

Even across the screen, you could feel her uncontainable joy.

After seeing her message, Qin Mu simply replied with two words: "Congratulations."

It had been over a month since Qing Lan's house incident. After waiting for so long, the compensation had finally been settled. She had also resolved her housing issue and no longer needed to live in a hotel.

"By the way, Up, I'm going back to Jin City in a couple of days to visit Grandpa. Heeding your advice, I'll spend more time with the elderly at home, and I'll treat you to a meal while I'm there."

Before long, Qing Lan sent another message.

Qin Mu's eyes lit up. He typed back, "I have a few friends. Can I invite them as well?"

This time, Old Zhang and the others were pestering him to treat them. They also insisted they would not go to the neighboring food stall this time. And it just so happened that Qing Lan wanted to host.

"Of course, how many friends?" Qing Lan agreed without a second thought.

Qin Mu quickly stood up and began counting people in the nursing home. He replied, "Not too many, just twenty-seven."

Qing Lan: "..."

...

「That evening.」

「Mountain and Water Garden District.」

After work, Qin Mu had a meal at the nursing home's cafeteria. He went straight home.

Not long after he got home, the system's voice quietly rang out.

"DING! Congratulations, Host. You have completed the current task. Task completion rate: 100%."

Upon hearing this sound, Qin Mu was thrilled.

It had finally appeared!

He had been waiting for the system's settlement ever since the court case ended today.

He almost thought he hadn't completed the task.

Fortunately, although this task was challenging, he still achieved a 100% completion rate.

The reason he didn't reach 150%... most likely was because Chen Ping and Xie Lianqing had successfully gotten their sentences reduced, missing out on the maximum punishment. With 100%, I wonder if I can get a rare reward?

Qin Mu murmured. With some anticipation, he patiently waited.

"DING! Now processing task settlement. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a random rare reward: the 'Void Enemy Seeker' skill."

"'Void Enemy Seeker' skill: Any information left on the internet by the subject will automatically display their exact IP address, pinpointing it down to the household."

Immediately afterward, a to-be-learned skill appeared in his system panel's inventory.

Void Enemy Seeker?

Looking at the skill, Qin Mu couldn't help but gasp.

This was a godsend! In modern society, where everyone uses the internet to communicate, this skill... could directly trace the exact location of the person. If he encountered a criminal, he wouldn't have to scare them into going to the police station like he used to. Moreover, the next time he encountered trolls in games, revealing the troll's home address would definitely give them nightmares for days! This skill was the most practical one, besides the 'Eidetic Memory' skill. Next time he encountered online trolls... he could submit the troll's home address while presenting his case, saving the time the prosecutor's office would have spent gathering evidence. This could speed up the case-processing efficiency.

Afterward, Qin Mu opened the comment section under his video on a certain site. He activated the 'Void Enemy Seeker' skill. Immediately, the comments that said "the weather is great" revealed a line of IP addresses, pinpointing the exact household!

Unmatched power!

"Truly a rare reward, much stronger than mere luck..." Qin Mu couldn't help but remark.

In his view, the greatest benefit of luck... was helping him get rich quickly. But having lived a second life, his craving for money wasn't that great. He was actually quite satisfied with his current life. He had a bunch of ageless friends. Work was easy every day. And he could enjoy life when he was free. Occasionally winning a few million in prizes was enough to get by. It's time to make a video.

After getting a clear understanding of the 'Void Enemy Seeker' skill, Qin Mu entered the study and began to record this installment's video as usual.

To prevent this generation of netizens... from coming up with a myriad of strange ways to urge updates. This incident indeed started because he gave it a chance. But it also indirectly showed... that human nature can't withstand tests.

Facing the camera, Qin Mu first greeted simply, then got straight to the point, "Hello everyone, long time no see. This video starts with the lottery ticket I bought the other day..."

He first recounted his "mistaken" operation of buying the lottery ticket. He then offered a classic self-reflection. He also explained Chen Ping and Xie Lianqing's actions, as well as the futility of his police report in one go.

"In everyday life, I believe everyone has had many such experiences. After filing a report, your issues weren't resolved. Actually, the main reason is that the method of filing the report was incorrect."

Following that, Qin Mu analyzed in detail the reasons this police report was useless. Without solid criminal evidence, disputes alone... won't result in a case being filed. So, to truly protect your own rights, you must prepare thoroughly. This means gathering comprehensive information and evidence.

"In comparison, the courts are more suitable for civil lawsuits. If you have a relevant dispute and can't find all the evidence yourself, you can request the prosecutor's office to help gather it."

Next, Qin Mu detailed the responsibilities of the prosecutor's office in gathering evidence and the related rules for the public service sector. If it weren't for this... he wouldn't have been able to gather so much evidence. In a civil lawsuit, he definitely would have lost. If it's just a civil lawsuit, each party presents and scrutinizes their own evidence. With just empty words, he had absolutely no persuasive power.

"At last, after shifting from a civil to a criminal trial, the case gradually settled."

Facing the camera, Qin Mu narrated the final judgment of this case. Of course, apart from the imprisonment penalty for the opposing party, he also focused on explaining the reason for not taxing. According to the legal regulations, this money does not need to be taxed again. But the 80,000 yuan in compensation... did need to pay personal income tax. According to relevant regulations, beyond national compensation, all other litigation compensations need to pay the corresponding type of tax. But the 7.27 million yuan was retroactive property, already taxed, hence no further taxation was required.

"Here I finally advise everyone, especially those studying the law," Qin Mu earnestly advised in the video's conclusion. "Learn morality before law. Know the law and understand the law, but even more so, abide by the law. Do not become a lawless lunatic, and do not use the loopholes and ambiguities in the law to become a scoundrel."

Through this incident, he had profoundly realized the terror of knowing the law. In court, the opposition was shouting "Senior Zhang Wei." Clearly, they were also students of law. This was why they had caused him quite a bit of trouble. If not for the opposition's incompetence, leaving too many loopholes... this lawsuit wouldn't have been easy for him. Even a semi-competent person was challenging enough. Those well-versed in law, once they harm society, would be more terrifying than anyone else. Because the law... could no longer sanction them. And the conscience that could sanction them is probably gone as well.
