Chapter 73 News About the Golden Fish (Third Update)
The virtual realm, the sea of knowledge.
"You haven't been able to find a companion willing to escape from prison with you all day long?"
Sonia slashed hard, and the wave of sword energy split into several circles of waves that kept spinning, biting the earth barrier in front of her like a chainsaw. It was her newly learned miracle 'wave splitting'.
"yes."
Ash sighed, made a sword finger with his hand, and guided the heart sword to pierce the earth barrier. But the earth barrier was penetrated into one layer, and another layer appeared, seemingly endless.
"not a single one?"
"It's not like there's no one, but except for Igula, who is bound by my contract, no one else is willing... or in other words, they don't believe it."
"If there has never been an escape from Broken Lake Prison before, they do have reason not to believe you."
"It's not just that," Ash sighed: "Rather than saying that they don't believe it because of objective reasons, it's better to say that they refuse to believe it subjectively."
Throughout the whole day today, Ash followed Iguala to lobby other powerful prisoners, such as 'Diamond' Tiger, 'Black Beast' Tuke, and 'Lark' Jewel. Each of them was a vicious sorcerer before being imprisoned, and each of their criminal experiences could be written into a thriller.
But they all refused to take part in the jailbreak.
To be honest, Ash is not surprised by this. With the high-pressure rule of Broken Lake Prison and the almost absolutely closed island environment, it is abnormal for death row prisoners to immediately believe that they can escape. Suspicion is reasonable.
But the problem is that the attitude shown by the death row inmates is not suspicion, but resistance.
They resist jailbreak.
You must know that the person in charge of the negotiations is not Ash, but the "Beautiful Beast" Igura who is also a celebrity in the prison. Although Igurah is a fraudster, he has a good reputation and rarely lies. He is even one of the few intelligence dealers in the prison and is very popular.
In his words, ‘Lying is a taboo for a fraudster, credibility is the face of a fraudster, and honesty is the most important quality for a fraudster. A fraudster’s biggest failure is that others don’t want to communicate with him’.
Therefore, what Igula said is quite weighty. Even if the death row inmates don't believe it, they should ask Igula for more information to make further judgments.
But the death row inmates didn't.
Even if Iguola said that he 'maybe have a way to lift the chip restriction', no one would ask further questions such as 'how to do it' or 'is it really true'? Instead, they all showed 'almost done' expressions and skipped the topic directly. Or turn around and leave.
It's such a large prison, but they can't even find a companion who wants to escape. Even Ash wants to say that this is the worst class of criminals he has ever seen.
But Iguola had already expected this.
During dinner, he solved Ash's doubts with just one sentence.
"They are no longer what they used to be, and their feces will turn into fertilizer if left for a long time."
If time is the best poison, then Broken Lake Prison is undoubtedly the best septic tank. No matter whether you are harmful or poisonous, you have to be turned into nutrients when you come in.
An ordinary person may undergo many changes in a few years, but after death row inmates have been in prison for so long, how can they still be the same vicious selves in the past?
There are even many death row inmates who, when looking back on their past criminal experiences, sincerely repent and feel that they were so childish and impulsive in the past. Even if they don't regret it, they will gradually lose expectations for the outside world and find their destination in Broken Lake Prison.
Iguola is right when he says that Broken Lake Prison is indeed a utopia. All crime is prohibited here. There is no racial discrimination, swearing, fighting, or even queue-jumping or public urination.
As long as you abide by the rules, everyone can live freely, and there is no need to look at other people's faces, because other people can neither hurt you nor affect your interests. It can be said that everyone is truly equal.
The reason why death row inmates commit vicious crimes for various reasons such as greed, despicability, and impulsiveness is that they are accustomed to a lifestyle full of crime. Only that lifestyle can make them feel at ease.
Broken Lake Prison was a place that forcibly changed their lifestyle and made them feel at ease.
Peace of mind is addictive.
When a person is in this kind of environment for a long time, separated from complex social relationships, and withdraws from the competitive external environment, even if the death row inmate keeps despising the various restrictions in prison, but if you let him leave the prison and enter the society, he will actually feel at a loss, especially When he can live a peaceful life behind bars.
Many death row inmates cannot even get up early, let alone leave their comfort zone.
Thinking about it this way, Broken Lake Prison has been very successful in reforming the prisoners on death row. Without any labor reform, without any punishment, relying on various restrictions, KPI assessment system and elimination of the last place, the death row prisoners will be turned into qualified workers who will take the initiative to work overtime. They will obediently contribute surplus value in the prison. If there is no surplus value, they will participate. Make money by live streaming trials, and there are always jobs suitable for death row inmates.
The wooing of Ash and Igura is tantamount to inviting them to start a business. The prospects are unknown, the funds are insufficient, and they need to pay out of their own pockets.
The most important thing is that if the business fails, it will be fine, but if the business succeeds, won't they have to go back to the society where they have to work hard for everything?
Thinking about it makes me feel terrible, so I quickly buy a toy gun to rob a bank, and then wait for the crime hunting department to take me home.
Even Igura, if Ash hadn't locked him to himself through the rebound contract, he would probably not have been willing to participate in the jailbreak. It is true that he can live a better life outside, but he will also be anxious and nervous because of the fear of the Crime Hunting Hall.
Even the fraudsters feel at ease here.
If there were no Professor Schilling and the Blood Moon Trial, Ash felt that Broken Lake Prison would be a resort. Here you can not only enjoy the scenery, but also be forced to cleanse your soul. After leaving, you can no longer fart in bed and have to go to the toilet to do it.
Therefore, Ya Xiu felt like a villain who forced good girls into prostitution and always wanted to drag these condemned prisoners into the sea again. Igura is like the innocent girl he caught. She originally wanted to live a peaceful life, but now she has to become Ash's number one technician...
Snapped!
With a muffled sound, the earthen barrier that Ash and Sonia had beaten for ten minutes finally exploded, revealing the elderly magician hidden inside. Before he could speak, 'Evil Light Slash' and 'Heart Sword' scattered him, exploding three magic spirits and a magician's manual.
This is the inheritance of the best magician that Yaxiu has encountered since he entered the virtual realm.
Because this magician is not a combat magician.
He doesn't know how to fight at all, he just keeps building walls for defense. At first, Ash was a little afraid that a thorn would suddenly pop out of the ground and give him an anus massage, but nothing happened. The projection of the magician kept hiding in the earth barrier, as if this inheritance was to test them. Output efficiency.
"This type of magician is actually the mainstream." Sonia said: "In other words, there are only a few magicians who specialize in combat. Most magicians learn the production faction that can find good jobs, and then learn a little bit about the combat faction. . There are also many magicians who have never had combat magic spirits in their lives, and rarely have the opportunity to fight with others, such as medical doctors, meteorologists, architects, planters..."
She muttered: "If you hadn't insisted on me learning swordsmanship, I might be a water healer away from combat now."
Ash was a little strange: "But it's impossible not to learn to fight at all, right? Even if there is no need to fight in reality, it is impossible for the intellectual creatures in the virtual realm to check their ID cards and let them leave, right?"
"The way to deal with intellectual creatures is not just fighting. There are many ways to escape and defend. Magicians have many ways."
"But if you don't fight, how can you get a new magic spirit?"
Sonia smiled. She picked up the sleeping magic spirit on the ground and said casually: "Study! Practice! Research!"
"There are actually very few people like us who can gain something in the virtual realm every day. The way for most magicians to obtain magic spirits is by improving their own faction knowledge to resonate with the virtual realm, allowing knowledge to give birth to new things. The magic spirit."
"The level of knowledge is the foundation of a magician. Studying hard is the right path for a magician. Fighting and taking risks like we are now is an evil path. Academy magicians who grow up step by step often have a complete set of magic spirit systems, and our kind The adventurous magician has a complex and confusing system of magic spirits, and is far less skillful than the academic magician."
"And we can't skip classes. When our Silver Wings are completely condensed, we will have to go back and make up for the lessons to improve the faction level - without gold-level faction knowledge, we will not be able to summon the two-wing magic spirit, and we will be unable to summon it for the rest of our lives. You can only swim in place in the sea of knowledge, and you will never reach the continent of time!"
Production is the right way and fighting is the evil way?
Ash secretly sighed. Such an extraordinary system that requires the comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills is what he fears most - his family knows his own affairs, and he is just an ordinary person, with neither sports talent nor the ability to memorize essays. , except for being paid to shit, he has no special skills. If he hadn't hugged the Sword Queen's thigh through "Aurora's Magician's Manual", he would have never had the chance to become a magician.
Isn’t there that extraordinary system where you can be promoted by drinking a bottle of magic potion and digesting it?
"Speaking of which, Sword Princess, didn't you say before that there is a golden fish in the virtual realm? If you find it, you can reach the Time Continent?"
"It's just a rumor, and even you, the viewer, don't know where the golden fish is, how could I know?" Sonia picked up the magician's manual and browsed it quickly, jokingly: "You shouldn't put your hope in the golden fish, right? ? Then you might as well hope that there will be a sudden prison riot tomorrow and you will take advantage of the chaos to escape... huh huh huh?"
Ash looked at Sonia who made a strange noise: "What's wrong? Another magician's manual that doesn't agree with your views?"
"How should I put it...I think you should prepare well after leaving the virtual realm."
"What."
"Because there might actually be a riot in the prison!"
Sonia excitedly squeezed next to Ash, turned the magician's manual to the middle page and showed it to him.
I saw it read:
"I found the golden fish."
