Chapter 13

"The Death Maniac Swordswoman has completed a sword training session, greatly increasing her sword sect experience."

"The Death Maniac Swordswoman has completed a sword training session, greatly increasing her sword sect experience."

"The Death Maniac Swordswoman has completed a battle, greatly increasing her sword sect experience. Her talent has activated, gaining an extra 10,000% experience. During the battle, she resonated with the virtual world, summoning the spirit sword 'Vibration Sword'."

"Vibration Sword"

"One Wing Spirit Sword"

"Limitation: Must use a sword weapon"

"Base Effect: Releases a sword qi wave"

"Passive Effect: Makes it easier for normal sword attacks to disrupt the target's balance."

"'The sword is not shaking, it's just thirsty.'"

Perhaps this was the first time since starting college that Ashe had such a healthy routine - he got up at six o'clock sharp, checked the Death Maniac Swordswoman's training status in the Sorcerer's Handbook, waited expectantly and full of hope.

The game did not disappoint him. In just one day, the Death Maniac Swordswoman had made significant progress!

"Death Maniac Swordswoman"

"Human · Female · 18 years old"

"Trust Level: 0 (30% EXP sharing)"

"Class: One Wing Swordmage"

"Class Trait: 10% less spiritual power consumption when using sword spirits"

"Equipment: None"

"Controlled Spirits: Vibration Sword"

"Sword Sect: Silver Rank"

"Virtual World Exploration: 0.000%"

"Water Sect: Not Started"

Although he didn't know what a One Wing Swordmage was, Ashe recalled that the Blood Mad Hunter who had blown him up with one sword seemed to have three wings, which meant that having wings represented becoming a transcendent.

Since the swordswoman had become a transcendent, as the diligent player who had painstakingly cultivated her into a talent, shouldn't he be rewarded with that 30% EXP sharing?

However, no matter how Ashe waited and refreshed the game info panel, he did not get the enlightening EXP implant and knowledge infusion he imagined. The Operator interface for [Apocalypse Observer] also did not change at all.

At this moment, Ashe's mood was like that of an immature elementary school student who had paid money to a scammer for a permanent QQ membership but got blocked instead. The rising hope from his greed was swallowed up by thick disappointment.

After thinking about it seriously though, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed a step: "Could it be because I didn't recharge money..."

Their company's games were famously stingy with gameplay experience without recharging money, and even after recharging the experience still might not improve. If parts of the gameplay were castrated because he didn't recharge money, that would be quite normal.

If it was just not recharging money, that would still be easy to remedy.

If it was because various modules were lost during the transmigration, causing the functions to fail, then the game system he was relying on could only be used as a moe girl dream factory...

"Dear Mr. Ashe Heath, Shattered Lake Prison has completed your life verification. You may move freely in designated areas, please check the attached 'Shattered Lake Prison Life Manual' for details. Note: Meal delivery service is no longer provided, please go to the cafeteria for meals yourself."

At the same time, a green light lit up above the fist-thick door, displaying a small 'pass' person icon. Melodic singing floated in from outside.

"If hurt enough, then take a pair of hands, and freely cut open, yesterday's curses. When night waits for daylight, what's left are the scars..."

Damn, what kind of song was this, used to mock the prisoners?

Ashe was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on. He opened the 'Shattered Lake Prison Life Manual', and each item he read made him suspect it was an April Fools' prank message specifically to mess with new inmates:

"1. Free activity time is from 7am to 10pm daily, you may enter and exit the following areas: Central Hall, Reading Room, Gym, AV Room, Ocean Viewing Roof, Couples' Room (provides supplies), Workshop, Cafeteria..."

"2. Cafeteria opening hours are: 7am - 9am breakfast, 11am - 2pm lunch, 5pm - 8pm dinner. To eat outside of opening hours, please use the meal ordering service."

"3. Reading Room: To request missing books, please register with the administrator, will be added within 3 working days at latest."

"4. AV Room: Currently only provides movies and shows that can be legally purchased. Ongoing productions will be provided after finale airs."

"5. Couples' Room: Please place used items in the recycling bin, do not wash and return them yourself."

"6...."

One after another there were many prompts, almost all introducing how to use the various facilities in the prison, making Ashe feel like he was a temporary inmate here on a one-day prison sightseeing experience.

What surprised Ashe the most was that this manual wrote about the rights prisoners have, but didn't mention any prohibited acts at all.

It was as if anything goes for them.

Things out of the ordinary must have an ulterior motive, but now with no more meal delivery, Ashe couldn't keep staying in his cell and starve to death. Also, he was very curious what kind of prison this was.

When he got to the door, it automatically slid open. Outside was a very quiet and clean corridor, and surprisingly without even a single guard. On the wall was a very conspicuous sign:

"Central Hall ←→ Equipment Gym, Steam Room"

Just looking at the sign, Ashe could imagine the cells next to his were definitely full of muscular macho men working out and steaming every day... Recalling the couples' room as well, Ashe involuntarily clenched his buttocks, thinking he'd better just eat and return to his cell.

Coming to the central hall, it suddenly opened up brightly. The central hall was a very spacious area, with a glass ceiling skylight freely spilling morning sunlight onto the benches below. There were potted plants on both sides, a few people sitting on the benches, some chatting, some reading, even someone sleeping on a bench... If not for their prisoner uniforms, Ashe would have thought he came to a park.

And most surprisingly, there was a uniformed guard on duty nearby.

Although he seemed to be slacking off playing with a light screen, just his existence relieved Ashe - at least there was someone he could call for help.

Although Ashe was thinking about how to escape, right now he was truly a complete waste of physical strength without any power at all, and possessed all the mental weaknesses of an overtime corporate slave. Without law enforcement protection, he didn't even know if he could protect his own chastity - Heath's body looked quite hot.

On the front wall there was a light screen broadcasting news, seemingly some discussion at a council. Just hearing a few words made it sound boring.

Ashe didn't understand what was being discussed in the broadcast, because the conversation between the two people sitting on the front bench was more attention-grabbing:

"I didn't expect Lorenzo to become a councilor, looks like he also joined the Everlife Elixir club. Andrei and his faction have completely overshadowed the mayor now, the mayor will probably have to resign after finishing his term this year..."

"I don't think so. Mayor Fernand Snow has Archbishop Enrico's support behind him. Just you wait, not only is Lorenzo not a sign of Andrei's promotion, he is instead the death knell for Andrei. In three days at fastest, one month at latest, there will definitely be an important death in Andrei's faction."

"Andrei has been rooted in Caimon for decades, the Church wouldn't take action to disrupt stability."

"You forgot the suicide case of the Rail Department Head 15 years ago? ..."

Listening to two inmates discuss changes in the political elite was already a very surreal experience in prison, and even more bizarre was that these two were a two-meter tall green-skinned beastman and a 1.3-meter short goblin.

"If you're interested in politics, I suggest you go to the reading room to chat with old man Ryan. Godore and Luddodo were just ministry and department secretaries before they came in, middle ranked positions, half-baked knowledge about politics, just useless drivel."

"But Ashe Heath, esteemed leader of the Heretical Four Pillars cult, is also interested in Caimon city politics?"

Ashe turned around to look at the blonde man next to him: "You know me?"

"Of course, you were headline news at 7pm the day before yesterday and yesterday - news is the fastest way for us to get to know new companions." The blonde man smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, perhaps you've seen me in the news too - Igor Bukin."

"Ashe." Ashe took two steps back. "Are all the people here so enthusiastic?"

"Yes." Igor frankly said, "We're quite enthusiastic towards newcomers, after all we are companions who share the same aspirations."

"Same aspirations?"

"That's right." Igor glanced at the guard on duty, reached his hand out to Ashe and said in a low voice, "Interested in joining our prison break research group, to become mutually supportive friends?"

Ashe was overjoyed, this was just what he needed, he was just thinking of ways to escape from prison, didn't expect there would be a ready-made organization he could join in the prison itself. He naturally eagerly extended his hand, "Of course..."

"If I were you, I'd give him a punch."

Suddenly, a cold female voice came from the side.

Ashe looked over with the corner of his eye, and shockingly saw a girl wearing a fur coat, ultra mini skirt, stockings and boots, with a sword at her waist that looked like a prop to increase sex appeal, dressed very maturely... A girl?

But he recognized her in the next moment, although the skin was different, this appearance was none other than the Death Maniac Swordswoman!?

The swordswoman descends by my side?

Ashe barely hesitated before turning and punching Igor!
