Chapter 23: Uninvited Guest

The prison was much quieter than usual, everyone was secretly thinking about what just transpired.

Only the mature members of Prison 18 knew what kind of person Li Shutong was.

So what they just witnessed was so ridiculous they couldn’t understand it; how stupid do you have to be to come here directly and mess with Li Shutong?

The robotic guards surrounded Liu Dezhu with metallic sounds as they walked.

When he saw the army of robots approaching him, his plan to take over the world by spawning here in Prison 18 vanished in an instant.

As the second known group of transmigrators that got to this mysterious world, he was startled by everything he had seen so far.

In only 10 or so seconds, the guards carried him to an unknown area of the prison.

“Boss, don’t you think that things have been a little strange recently?” squatting on a chair, Lin Xiaoxiao asked, “The boy who went insane the other day also mentioned Luo City and pretended to be from a well-known corporation. Now we have yet another knucklehead requesting a quest. What quest is he referring to?”

Lin Xiaoxiao stretched across the table in an attempt to pet the large cat as he spoke, but the cat coldly glared at him, forcing his hands to return to where they belonged.

Li Shutong considered these words for a while and said, “Quite weird indeed. “

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Oh, where did that Qing Chen kid go? Isn’t he still here? What happened to him? “

At the time, Qing Chen was still pacing back and forth in the corridor upstairs. He ignored the pandemonium below and instead headed to the sixth floor to give an order: “After breakfast, gather all the new arrivals and determine their true identities outside the prison.”

“Got it,” said Lu Guangyi as soon as Qing Chen finished.

From what he knew, he thought to his boss what to find out if other parties were seeking to come in and compete with them.

However, this was not the case. What Qing Chen was eager to learn was whether there were more transmigrators from the Outer World who could expose his real identity.

If a transmigrator got mixed in with the newcomers, the person would not be able to talk about many details.

The prisoner could not be a transmigrator if he could explain his background.

Qing Chen was particularly shocked by the fact that he initially thought Nan Gengchen would also feature in Prison 18, but he was mistaken.

Then, Qing Chen suddenly thought of something and said to Lu Guangyi, “I know that you are eager to beat up the newcomers for entertainment, but please don’t be so cruel from now on. Everyone here is having a hard time. “

“Okay,” sighed Lu Guangyi.

After the disruption was over, the prisoners lined up to get their food. Lu Guangyi brought all the newcomers to the cells and began questioning them, just as Qing Chen had requested.

“Boss, everything’s done,” he reported to Qing Chen shortly after.

After hearing Lu Guanyi’s comprehensive report of the newcomer’s identification, Qing Chen was certain there were no more transmigrators among the newcomers that arrived today. So he calmly walked over to Li Shutong and sat down at the table, “Are we still playing chess today?”

“Unfortunately I have to postpone our games for a few days. ” Li Shutong explained, “I have certain affairs to attend to, and a special guest is coming soon.”

“Guest?” Qing Chen was confused.

Li Shutong smiled, “An uninvited guest. “

Someone who Li Shutong could consider a guest must be a special person indeed.

Qing Chen still didn’t want to become too involved with stuff out of his control, so he didn’t ask further.

He quickly shifted the topic as if it had nothing to do with him, “I heard a big commotion down here a moment ago. What happened? “

After he asked, he saw a rare sense of worry on Li Shutong’s face, “I’m… not quite sure. “

Qing Chen had to fight back his urge to laugh as hard as he could because he knew that the transmigrator had Li Shutong completely confused.

It must be the first time that Li Shutong encountered a situation like this.

For the time being, Qing Chen was the only one who knew that Li Dezhu had taken He Xiaoxiao’s videos seriously and mistook Li Shutong for an NPC in a game!

Return Countdown 37:00:02.

Suddenly, the metallic gate started lifting up while making a loud cranking sound.

After the gate was fully raised to the top, more than ten robotic prison guards sent in a bold man over two meters tall.

1

6.5 feet

Around them, there were 9 more drones securing the path that the man was walking.

Not only that, as the man walked in, the machine gun on the ceiling started warming up and fixing their aim.

The guns, which were called Metal Storm, could only turn 90 degrees, instead of 360.

As this powerful man stepped onto the machine gun firing range, the guns all worked together to perfectly aim at him.

The security was indeed tighter.

This was the first time Qing Chen saw someone being sent into the prison, and it was also the first time he saw so many guards and drones used.

The three thousand prisoners in the prison all looked at this man in silence.

With a series of loud clangs, the bold man’s handcuffs and shackles fell onto the floor.

The man’s complexion was a coppery hue, and his face appeared to have been sunburned for years. Back marks, both bizarre and lovely, were visible on his exposed skin.

He did not have any mechanical limbs.

When Qing Chen first entered the prison, he felt that Ye Wan was impressively muscular, but even he was like nothing when compared to this beast of a man.

The guards and drones quietly backed out of the prison after the bold man was incarcerated, with no intention of releasing him from the last shackle on his feet.

After the guards left, the bold man asked, “Where is Li Shutong?”

He calmly moved around his wrist and grabbed up the prisoner nearest to him.

The prisoner, who was heavily equipped with mechanical limbs, was like a toy in his hands.

The prisoner pointed toward the cafeteria with a trembling hand, and everyone’s gaze turned toward Li Shutong, Qing Chen, and Ye Wan.

The lazy cat in Li Shutong’s lap got up and stared at the bold man.

Qing Chen looked at Li Shutong and saw that he smiled, “Looks like this guest likes to get business done the quick way. His name is Guo Huchan. You should’ve heard of him by now. Stay with Ye Wan and step back so you don’t get wounded.”

Ye Wan looked at Qing Chen, he knew that the  Boss usually wouldn’t need to remind him of trivial matters like this. So he realized that Boss must like this kid very much, more than Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao had anticipated.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Lu Guangyi also noticed Guo Huchan and mumbled, “Gu Huchan… How come he’s also here? No wonder that the boss told me a llama had arrived from the south.”

“Looks like the boss is chilling every day with Li Shutong, and knowing that Guo Huchan is going to be here, he prepared ahead of time to reap the benefits in case they fight… So smart!” Lu Guangyi started thinking to himself, and based on these delusions, Qing Chen quickly became an incredible figure in his mind.
