Chapter 175: Xi Wang's Bad Habits
(Your hourly earnings after all the reductions are only one year off your sentence per hour, working at least 10 hours a day can get you a 10-year sentence reduction.)
(In the mine, working overtime does not earn extra rewards, but you still need to work day and night.)
(After finishing your meal, you worked overtime for a while.)
(When the work was over, you left the mine.)
(There is nothingness before your eyes.)
(You stopped the deduction!)
This time, the deduction basically clarified the entire work process, but he still hasn't found a breakthrough.
A coworker once hinted that the supervisor in the mine has an extraordinary family background, so Gu Yi decided to try to take control of the supervisor in the deduction.
(The backtracking deduction begins!)
(After finishing your meal, you try to communicate with the supervisor.)
(You use psychological suggestions on the supervisor.)
(The supervisor walks towards you, but the service robot next to him arrives first.)
(Robot: You have violated rule C-034, your sentence is increased by ten thousand years...)
(You use your black orb to capture the robot.)
(The supervisor is startled and immediately recovers from the state of psychological suggestion.)
(Soon, a large number of robots flood into the mine and capture you.)
(Robot: You have violated rule A-001, your sentence is increased by ten thousand years...)
(You are taken to prison by the robots.)
(You stopped the deduction!)
Gu Yi opened his eyes and pondered for a while.
Clearly, rule C-034 must be related to weird powers. The characters in this dungeon have weak mental strength; his skills could easily overpower them, but the robots are highly sensitive.
The containment center's clerk had mentioned that to move freely, one must own a service robot. The robot's role, presumably, is surveillance; it can detect citizens breaking the rules and increase their penalties instantly.
Moreover, service robots cannot be easily destroyed; damaging a service robot would lead to more robots arresting him.
Therefore, before proceeding, he must find a way to shield himself from the robots or find the supervisor's weakness without using his abilities.
"Hey, newbie, what are you standing there for?"
The supervisor finally noticed Gu Yi, who was standing there in a daze, and came over, scolding him without any niceness.
"Sorry."
Gu Yi, with a smile on his face, walked up to the supervisor.
"This is your work tool, hurry up and go to work in the mine ahead."
"Ok."
"I'm just looking, not betting."
"I saw you're VIP level 7."
"It's a borrowed account, a borrowed account." Xi Wang hurriedly closed the webpage. "There's a lot of intelligence on the dark web. It's a means for me to gather information."
Qu Kangping raised an eyebrow. "As agents, we're not allowed to gamble, especially not this kind of betting. Give me your phone."
"Huh? What are you doing?"
"This is an order."
Qu Kangping snatched Xi Wang's phone and immediately helped her delete the account.
Xi Wang was stunned, looking at Qu Kangping in disbelief. "Bro... why would you do this?"
"It's the rules. The first time is a warning, the next time it will be a suspension. Write a report and bring it to my office after work."
"I'm sorry, team leader."
Xi Wang muttered, not knowing what else to say. She had picked up this bad habit when many around her gambled while she worked locally.
Thinking she could openly check the betting markets and not restrain herself in a new workplace, she had thought Qu Kangping would be easy to talk to. She hadn't expected him to be so merciless.
"Well, if it's deleted, then it's deleted."
Xi Wang grumbled to herself and continued to watch the monitor.
This copy had two other adventurers who caught Xi Wang's attention.
One was Dennis from Northern Europe, and the other was Hattori Kanon from the Sakura Country. She switched to Dennis's channel and heard Dennis's shocking statement.
...
In the Weird world.
Dennis arrived at the space jump station, and when the staff offered him breathing equipment, Dennis refused.
"You don't need it?"
"Yes."
"The air where you'll be working contains deadly toxins; without the equipment, you'll be poisoned to death."
"Breathing apparatuses are too expensive, a waste to carry."
"Alright, if you say so."
The staff shook his head.
Nowadays, there were many people like Dennis, trading their lives for a reduced sentence. Rather than doing this, it would be better to die outright. At least then, one could be used as fertilizer after death.
If one died of poisoning, even as fertilizer, it would still pollute the environment.
Led by the staff, Dennis arrived at the mine.
Among the many workers, Dennis stood out.
Because he was the only one not wearing a mask.
