Prison Island

Chapter 24 Plan
On the first floor of the Silver Tower, in the hall, Sasaki was talking to another Japanese.

Behind him, more than a dozen newcomers had gathered.

Sasaki scolded with a dark face: "A bunch of rubbish, you are just living for nothing."

Another Japanese also said: "The quality of the newcomers in recent months is really too poor."

"It's all Adams' fault. Nothing good has happened to us since he took office."

Sasaki nodded and continued to check the status of other newcomers according to the list.

If you want to know who else has not come down, just check whether the other party is dead or not. If he is dead, you don’t have to wait any more.

"Another group of people died. Will there be only these thirteen people left in the end?" Sasaki frowned.

Just then, Luo Yan walked out of the elevator with four people.

Sasaki glanced at him and waved his hand to signal him to come over: "You survived? You have the appearance of an oiran, it would be a pity if you died."

Sasaki was very happy that Luo Yan was able to survive even though his arm was broken.

But Luo Yan's face darkened when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Not only did I survive, I also got a reward."

"Oh?" Sasaki immediately asked him to announce his balance, and sure enough, it was 100 points.

"Yo, I got 100 points for my first participation."

He was very satisfied and asked one of his men to search Luo Yan casually before letting him return to the team.

The same thing happened to the others one after another. Surprisingly, all members of this batch received rewards. They survived by relying on their own abilities.

"Are you all playing the same game?" Sasaki took away five hundred points.

Luo Yan nodded gloomily: "Well, we worked together to lock the radiator in the secret room at the last moment and took the opportunity to escape..."

Sasaki got the indulgence and didn't care about the details. Instead, he praised: "Finally, someone can bring out the indulgence. Not bad, worthy of being a technical school graduate."

Luo Yan returned to the team, looked at the crowd, and didn't see Gao Xin, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After waiting for about ten minutes, an elevator door opened with a bang.

A total of eight people, including Gao Xin, Su Le, Liu Xu, etc., came out of the elevator.

Sasaki took a glance and was then stunned.

Gao Xin was seen leading the way, holding a huge axe and walking with big strides. He was dressed casually and looked like a free player.

Behind him, seven players followed closely, their clothes were all tattered. Among them, Suler was carrying a large bag in one hand, which was full of packaged food and drinks.

"Huh?" Sasaki was surprised. He didn't have any hope for this group of newcomers. He didn't expect Gao Xin to come out directly with a mechanical battle axe.

It looks like a big harvest, right?
He walked straight forward, grabbed the axe, struck it a few times, and touched the blade.

The Japanese man next to him said, "I've seen this kind of battle axe before, 1000 points."

"How many indulgences are there? Go and announce them." Sasaki raised his chin.

Gao Xin consciously went up to announce his balance and opened his hands for a body search.

So did Sule, Meimei and the others, but not Liuxu and the others, because she was not a newcomer.

"Lord Beast Fang, these are our team." The muscular man walked over and bowed.

"Go away." Sasaki waved his hand.

The muscular man responded and took Liu Xu and four other members of the Redemption Group away. Gao Xin thought to himself that the muscular man was the so-called Brother Qiao.

After walking away, Liu Xu came close to Brother Qiao and whispered something.

Brother Qiao turned around and met Gao Xin's eyes.

Gao Xin did not react at all, just watched them leave.

Before coming down, he had a rare free time, during which he asked all the questions he needed to ask and made all the arrangements he needed to make.

The next step is to strive to become a member of the Redemption Corps. With his current talents, it should be easy to do so.

"Not even a bit of indulgence?" Sasaki said dissatisfiedly after the body search.

Gao Xin showed a helpless expression: "We survived only because we begged for mercy from the radiator. After he came out, he took away all the survival rewards."

"We picked up this axe from a bearded man who died in a hidden area after the old cat left."

Sasaki frowned: "What old cat?"

Several people stuttered as they recounted the game, having already prepared the relevant remarks.

Gao Xin easily made up a scene of dealing with the radiator in a hidden underground area. In the end, Big Beard died in a trap, but Old Cat didn't know about it, which allowed them to take down an axe.

"Yes, you can actually use a trap to kill a radiator."

"Yes, although there is no indulgence, it is still useful to get the spoils."

Sasaki weighed the battle axe.

This thing is worth a thousand points, isn't it more valuable than the few dollars a newbie brings out?

Among the survivors, Gao Xin was the only one who did not repair himself. His body was still covered with bruises, including various scratches, injuries from falls, and even obvious bruises on his ankles. It was obvious that he had gone through a lot of hardships.

Sasaki didn't think too much about it. It only took 1 point of indulgence for the glass man to repair such an injury, and since Gao Xin didn't repair himself, it meant that he didn't even have 1 point. That meant that all the rewards were used to buy his life... What else could he do?

"Return to the team."

Gao Xin and a few others stood beside Luo Yan. Luo Yan whispered, "You're lucky. It's good that you didn't die."

"How much did you pay?" Gao Xin asked him.

Luo Yan said bitterly: "One hundred."

Gao Xin looked at Luo Yan in surprise, his eyes seemed to say: Are you really so honest?

Luo Yan looked at Gao Xin with resentment, his eyes seemed to say: There is nothing I can do...

Gao Xin realized that Luo Yan was a courtesan. Even if he wanted to take the reward, he had to consider whether he would be sent to be a courtesan...

He came here to participate in the game, but Viper had gone against everyone's opinion. If he didn't show his value, maybe someone would ask him to become an oiran again with just one word.

……

The group of people waited for a long time until it was dark.

In the end, only 28 people returned to the team, and the rest all died.

"Follow me!" Sasaki looked unhappy and led everyone away. It was obvious that the performance of this group of newcomers was very poor.

Soon, they were taken back to the original training ground.

Here, the vipers and the shredded meat are feasting.

Rousi ate with big mouthfuls. There was a large piece of whale meat on the table in front of him. He ate so much that his mouth was full of oil.

"Are these all left?" Viper frowned slightly when he saw that only 28 people came back.

Sasaki lowered his head and said, "The quality of the newcomers is very poor. The one who performed best this time was the guy with the appearance of an otaku. He and four other people got a total of 500 points."

"The second one is a murderer who is proficient in firearms and fighting. He also got a hundred points in the game this time."

"Oh, there's another guy who got lucky and picked up a C-level nano weapon."

Obviously he did not think highly of Gao Xin, thinking it was pure luck, and only mentioned it briefly.

Seeing this, Gao Xin also smiled bitterly, but there was nothing he could do. He had to prioritize protecting himself from obtaining more than 3,000 indulgences.

"Okay, let the newcomers go down and rest. We will start dividing into groups early tomorrow morning." said Viper.

Someone immediately led everyone to eat.

They were like a group of beggars, driven into a fence in a corner of the school ground, with a tall wall behind them.

The newlyweds were penned in, like sheep, sitting on the loess, and were fed dry food.

However, Sule brought out a large bag of food from the mansion. Sasaki just checked it and didn't pay much attention to it. He would not "steal swill" from the slaves.

At this moment, Su Le just shared it out for everyone to eat.

The newlyweds were delighted and ate with relish, but they were not sure whether they would be able to eat such delicious food in the future.

"Your playground is great, and you can bring out so many delicious foods?" After eating and drinking his fill, Luo Yan pulled Gao Xin to a corner.

Now that everyone had finished eating, they dispersed in groups of three or four and lay down to find a place to rest.

We experienced too much on the first day and many people were too tired. Some lay awake and cried softly, while others fell into a deep sleep without caring about anything else.

In the dead of night, Gao Xin sat next to Luo Yan, looking at the stars and the moon in the sky, and sighed: "It's also good luck, if it were any other way, we would have died."

Luo Yan smiled: "It's okay, the low-level game feels quite simple."

Su Le came over and asked with a strange look on his face: "Simple?"

Meimei also looked at Luo Yan in disbelief. Although everyone survived this time, they also experienced the difficulty of the redemption game... Especially for the glass people, they were simply here to be "game props".

Luo Yan said: "It's quite simple. There are many ways to survive in the game. Even if things get bad, we can still negotiate."

"The radiators who join the game are all here for indulgence. As long as you grasp their psychology, there is still room for manipulation against the weak." For a moment, Sule and Meimei both revealed resentful looks in their eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Luo Yan was curious.

Suler couldn't help but say, "We have it much harder than you."

Luo Yan was puzzled: "Aren't there more survivors among you? How difficult can it be? Can you encounter a boss in your first game?"

Sule and Meimei are still afraid of Silver Hand. Isn't this just encountering a boss?
They looked at Gao Xin. Did that mean he wanted to say something?
Gao Xin directly pulled Luo Yan and whispered to him the real experience of the game.

After hearing this, Luo Yan was dumbfounded: "What? You really beat a boss?"

Seeing the frightened faces of the few people, Luo Yan wiped his sweat and said, "SR, it sounds very perverted from your description..."

Then he realized something and looked at Gao Xin: "You have also been strengthened?"

Gao Xin glanced at him sideways. This "also" was the key point.

"I've grown some brains, how about you?"

Luo Yan grinned: "I built some muscles."

As he spoke, he opened his collar and exerted force on his whole body, which suddenly became tense. He seemed more explosive than when I first met him.

"Is this little bit of muscle useful?" Gao Xin sighed.

Luo Yan pulled his clothes and said, "What else? There are only a few hundred points in total. Adding it to strength is the most direct enhancement."

Gao Xin nodded. Luo Yan’s choice made sense because he had few indulgences.

Adding it anywhere won't make anything stand out, but adding it to strength will result in the biggest change in strength.

Although he can't deal with the Radiator, he should be strong enough to face other glass men.

"Oh, I don't know how to arrange us tomorrow, so let's go to bed early." Luo Yan said.

Gao Xin asked him, "Are there no people from the Redemption Group in your game?"

Luo Yan was stunned: "Yes, but they are all ordinary people, all dead."

Gao Xin immediately told him the information he had obtained from Liu Xu.

After listening to this, Luo Yan began to think deeply.

Su Le couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why did you have to bring the axe out? It's just a bargain for the Japanese."

Gao Xin said, "That axe is worth one thousand. If I hand it in, it will be equivalent to a performance of one thousand. Maybe I can get a chance to gamble my life with Hei Yao. Let's give it a try."

Everyone was shocked, and Meimei asked, "You want to gamble your life? That's only a one in ten chance."

Gao Xin shrugged: "It's not like we're gambling our lives right now, and they didn't say we're going to use their black medicine."

"I just need to earn 10,000 points in the game before the deadline for gambling my life, and redeem them for the gene protection agent."

"You can be 100% successful when you participate in the radiation bet."

Everyone thought about it, so that's why they were heading for the radiation room.

To become a radiator, it is not enough to just have gene protectors. Although this is the most critical, the prerequisite is that you must first be exposed to huge amounts of radiation and your genes will collapse.

It's useless for normal people to use.

Suler asked, "Can we take this kind of medicine out? Won't it be confiscated?"

Gao Xin smiled faintly: "Didn't you see that Liu Xu was taken away directly by her captain?"

"The Atonement Group settles accounts once a month. It is a collective responsibility system. In the end, the entire team has to hand over 10,000 yuan."

"That is to say, before the bill is settled, the indulgence can theoretically be on our account."

Meimei said, "Liu Xu is talking about it being in the captain's account, right? After everyone participates in the game, the captain will collect the indulgences and keep a record of it."

"If the payment date comes and you can't pay 10,000, the captain will die! For every 100 short, you have to pay with your life!"

Gao Xin nodded and said, "But if the entire team can earn more than 10,000 indulgences, the rest can be kept by themselves."

Meimei said, "Really? What else did you talk about with Liuxu later?"

She remembered that when everyone was colluding with each other, Gao Xin took Liu Xu aside to arrange something.

Gao Xin whispered, "Let her just serve as an outpost. According to Liu Xu, Brother Qiao's team kept several hundred indulgences for themselves last month."

"But he didn't keep it for himself. Instead, he used it as the team's public funds to save everyone's lives."

"After all, we are not so lucky every month. If the team's performance is not good enough in a certain month, we can use the remaining performance from the previous month to offset the debt."

"Brother Qiao often goes on adventures in the game to make up for everyone's losses and save many lives, so everyone in the team respects him very much."

Su Le and others nodded. It seemed that Brother Qiao was a really nice person. Looking back, people like the bald man had never said anything bad about Brother Qiao. Instead, they expressed admiration when they mentioned him. This was a good example.

"It turns out that the Atonement Corps can keep the money for themselves, but they have to hand it over too much, and it is a collective responsibility, so those who earn more have to make up for the deficit of those who earn less, so they can't keep it at all." Suler said.

"Maybe it's tacit consent. After all, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass..." Meimei stared at Gao Xin: "If so, we have more room for maneuver."

Gao Xin pursed his lips and said, "But we don't necessarily have to go to that team. Not all captains are as good as Brother Qiao."

"I heard that some teams are in a very bad state. The captains take advantage of their power to bully others and forget that everyone is a slave."

Everyone smiled bitterly. It was normal. There were too many people like this.

Luo Yan understood everything and said calmly, "If you can't choose a team, it's all in vain."

"So... do you know of a way for us to choose a team?"

Gao Xin nodded at him: "That means becoming the best newcomers."

"That Brother Qiao was one of the best newcomers in his class."

"After the Japanese send him to the Atonement Corps, they will hand him over to the captains for competition. They will all be vying for him, and he can join whichever team he agrees to join."

"It's not so easy for other newcomers. They are thrown into whatever team the Japanese say they will go to, which is basically the team with the least number of people."

Luo Yan asked: "Then what counts as an outstanding newcomer?"

Gao Xin's eyes sparkled as he said, "The best newcomers are the most suitable for the game of redemption."

“It’s a comprehensive consideration of cultural background, skills, and physical fitness.”

"Of course, there is also the contribution of the first redemption game, so I chose to bring out the giant axe."

Luo Yan scratched his head. So, did that mean he was the chosen one?

After all, Viper heard that he graduated from a technical school, so he didn't let him become an oiran and sent him to the redemption game.

It’s hard to say whether he is the best, but it is certain that he will join the Redemption Group.

Luo Yan asked: "Well, are you sure? What is your education level?"

Gao Xin smiled slightly: "I don't have any academic qualifications, but I have special skills..."

He directly took out three unopened bottles of purified water from the wine and drinks that Suler brought out and placed them in a row.

"You pick one and shuffle the order randomly, and I can find it."

Luo Yan pointed at a bottle, only to see Gao Xin staring at it for a while and then turning away.

There was a noise behind him, which quickly made Gao Xin turn around.

Gao Xin only took a glance and pointed at one of them and said, "This one."

Luo Yan, Su Le and the others were stunned. They even wiped the bottles clean on purpose. They didn't know how Gao Xin guessed it right.

"Do it again." Luo Yan said.

Gao Xin turned around again, looked back after a while, and quickly pointed it out again.

This was repeated several times until everyone was convinced.

"No, how did you know? Are there any differences between these three bottles?" Luo Yan was surprised.

Gao Xin smiled: "It's useless no matter how clean you wipe the bottle, because the water is different."

"Ah?" They checked carefully and could not see any difference in the water. It was just clear water.

"Although it is pure water, it still contains tiny impurities. It is like the logo of this bottle of water, unique. You may not notice these details, but I can identify them." Gao Xin said seriously.

Luo Yan touched his chin and said, "Is the visual recognition ability enhanced? ... Is there anything else?"

Gao Xin smiled: "Auditory recognition is also possible. In fact, I didn't even need to turn around just now to know where you put the bottle."

"Also, my memory is pretty good. I hope to learn from you if I have the chance in the future."

Luo Yan grinned: "Okay, okay, I will teach you everything I know."

……
