Yang Suiyi is a total homebody whose favorite pastime is writing novels on various websites. However, she inevitably abandons every single one, earning curses from countless readers while gleefully...
"Finally, those two plot holes are filled. Ah Xing, we can continue the mission!"
"Okay! Sui Sui." After the system finished speaking, it teleported Sui Yi to the mission world.
When Sui Yi opened her eyes again, she glanced around and realized she was in a prison cell. Looking at her clothes, she sighed; none of her current identities were impressive. She was in jail, but she had no idea what crime she had committed.
"Xing, can you transfer the original body's memories to me?" Sui Yi asked.
"Sui Sui, this mission is more difficult, so there is no memory of it. You will have to find the information yourself."
Sui Yi: "...If it's still this useless after the upgrade, I guess I'll have to think about what to do with the points."
System: "Master, no!"
Sui Yi sighed, lay back on the bed, and waited for someone to come so she could get some information out of them.
Half an hour later, another prison guard came and opened the cell where Sui Yi was. "Bai Youyou, it's time for your exercise."
Sui Yi: "Oh! So my name is Bai Youyou."
Suiyi obediently walked out and saw many female prisoners in the corridor. Following the prison guard, they all went to a place with recreational activities.
Prison guard: "You have one hour of free time today. After an hour, go to the task list over there and choose what you want to do. I advise you to behave yourselves."
The female prisoners all answered and found a place to pass the time. Sui Yi walked over to the group of women chatting and listened to what they were saying.
Female prisoner A: When will this end?
Female prisoner B: If you behave well, there will always be a chance for a reduced sentence, as long as you are not on death row.
Female prisoner C: I still have two years left. I don't know what society will be like when I get out of prison in two years!
Suiyi approached and said, "Hello!"
Several female prisoners greeted Sui Yi in a friendly manner when they saw her.
Female prisoner C: I know you. You're in the cell next to mine. What did you do to get in here?
"For money," Sui Yi said nonsensically.
Female prisoner A: Everyone who comes in now is in it for the money.
Female inmate B: I know how you got here. You defrauded someone of a million yuan, I heard. Tell us where you put the money?
Sui Yi: "This money was returned to its rightful owner after I was caught!"
Female prisoner C: "This is probably cause and effect. I did something wrong in a moment of impulse. Although it is not irreversible, I still paid the price."
Suiyi: Damn, you can even meet a Buddhist-like prisoner while in jail.
Female prisoner A: "You didn't get what you deserved. The money passed through your hands once, and in the end, you had to return it and suffer a prison sentence."
Female prisoner B: "What's your name?"
Sui Yi: "My surname is Bai. Sisters, I just heard that we need to go to the quest log to find something to do. What is it?"
Female prisoner A: "This is what we call 'reform through labor' in the local dialect! We have to do things every day. If we do them well, our meals will change accordingly. Also, the tasks are divided into easy and difficult ones. Those who arrive early get the easy tasks."
Suiyi: "Won't this lead to a fight? What if something happens?"
Female prisoner B: "There's a set of management methods here. If something goes wrong, you'll be punished, either by being beaten up or by having your workload doubled."
Sui Yi: "Isn't anyone dissatisfied?"
Female prisoner A: "We are in Zone C. None of the people who came in here have done anything extremely vicious, and they all have the intention to reform themselves, so no one will resist. Zone A is for the most vicious people."
"Oh! So, if people here commit minor crimes, do they have a higher chance of being released from prison?"
Female prisoner B: "Hmm! If you behave well or make a great contribution, you will have the opportunity to apply for early release."
"Shall we go check out the mission?" Sui Yi suggested.
“That won’t do. The time is set, and no one can go to check the mission in advance,” the female prisoner reminded Sui Yi.
"Oh! You guys chat first, I'll go take a look around." Sui Yi turned around and strolled around the exercise area, watching the female prisoners. Some were playing cards, some were chatting, some were reading, and some were spacing out.
Suiyi sidled up to the prison guard and asked, "Brother, do you have a mirror?"
Prison guard: "Pfft, what are you doing with that mirror? There aren't any like that in the prison."
Suiyi: "That's why I asked you if I have. I want to see if my face has become ugly."
The prison guard said, "I can't give you this, and besides, I'm a man, I don't have the habit of carrying a mirror."
Sui Yi: "Big brother, how did you come up with the idea of becoming a prison guard?"
"I used to be a soldier, but after I was discharged, I found that society was changing too fast and I couldn't adapt, so I found this job." The jailer was easy to talk to.
Suiyi: "Oh! What's your name, big brother?"
"My surname is Zhang, you can just call me Brother Zhang. You're so young, what made you decide to visit a prison?"
Sui Yi: "Haha! Brother Zhang, you're so funny. Maybe I'm just bored with life!"
"You're not exactly broke. Your annual salary is over a million, which is quite a lot. Your parents don't need you to support them. Why would you do this for a million? Tell me, what were you thinking back then?"
Sui Yi: "It's already happened, so I won't say anything more! Brother Zhang, do my parents know about what happened?"
"No, only your younger brother knows about your situation. Because you cooperated so well back then, we agreed to your request and didn't tell your parents."
Sui Yi: "That's good." Suddenly, a bell rang. Sui Yi saw the female prisoners walking towards the task board and knew that the task time had arrived.
