[As a sheriff, your avatar works hard for a month, and the various bonuses and subsidies added together do not exceed 20,000 federal dollars per month. ]

[But if you catch a smuggler and let him go, you can easily get more than 100,000 federal dollars in "ransom"! It is equivalent to the sheriff's income for nearly half a year. ]

[It is difficult for anyone to resist this kind of temptation. Ordinary police officers dare not accept it because they are afraid of sanctions and supervision under federal law and because they have beliefs and pursuits other than money in their hearts.]

[But your clone dares! Even if your clone knows that once he reaches out, he will be exposed, but this is just a simulation after all. And in reality, the risk of opening up wasteland is much higher than corruption. Why would he not dare?! ]

[Faith and pursuit? What kind of faith and pursuit can a clone have? Becoming stronger is my belief, making money is my pursuit! In this world where the strong prey on the weak, full of injustice and ungrateful villains, you are not worthy of my protection at all! 】

[After experiencing the ups and downs of life in the first simulation, the clone experienced the tragic experience of being captured by the Iron Blood Society's assessment team and betrayed by the team he devoted himself to in this simulation. He is now full of disappointment in this sick world! 】

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not that serious. It's really not that serious."

"There are still many good people in the world, like our fellow countrymen, like... well, aren't our fellow countrymen enough?"

Link quickly tries to save his clone's extreme idea.

[Your clone thinks what you said makes sense, but unfortunately, your clone has no way back. ]

[After receiving the first 'ransom', your clone formed a connection with the smuggler nicknamed Fat Tiger.]

[He will find ways to give your clone a large sum of money every month. When it's high, he can get hundreds of thousands of federal dollars a month, and when it's low, he can get 50,000 or 60,000. All your clone has to do is to inform him in advance when he raids the police station.]

[Under the protection of your clone, Fat Tiger's smuggling business is getting more and more prosperous. He even set up a gang called Nightingale and recruited more than a dozen civilian professionals who have completed the first level. Almost half of the smuggling business of copy props in the first district of Donghua City fell into the hands of Fat Tiger and Nightingale. ]

[Your clone is getting more and more involved with Fat Tiger, to the point where they are completely inseparable, but your clone doesn't care about it, because as their relationship gets closer, Fat Tiger's "tributes" to him become more and more generous. Now, the income that Fat Tiger brings to your clone every month has reached an astonishing 300,000 federal dollars! ]

[Thanks to Fat Tiger's filial piety, in just half a year, you bought a coveted silver-level skill book 'Silver Fighting Spirit'! This skill book can cover the warrior profession's physical valued energy on the body to offset damage, and can also release attacks to cause range attacks! It is called the strongest silver-level skill in the warrior profession! With it, your clone can be called a true silver-level warrior! ]

[When you gained the silver fighting spirit, your clone entered the police station's internal dungeon "Raging City" at level 15 alone. With the fierce silver fighting spirit, you defeated all the enemies along the way, as if you were cutting melons and vegetables. You easily killed the first dungeon boss, which used to take you one or even two days to pass. After a fierce battle, you successfully killed the second dungeon boss. It was not until you encountered the dungeon boss, which had reached level 20, that you felt defeated and retreated under the opponent's fierce attack.]

[In this instance, your clone finally reached level 21! In addition, your clone also obtained a copy of items worth 80,000 federal coins in the copy. Unfortunately, the property of the police station copy will eventually belong to the police station, and you have no right to own these spoils. At most, you will get a bigger bonus at the end of the month.]

[Fortunately, with the profits from Fat Tiger's tribute, your clone no longer cares about this little bit of 'small money'. ]

[After exiting the dungeon, your clone recalls the experience of fighting the BOSS in the first dungeon, and feels that as long as you are more careful, operate more carefully, and have an assistant to help you recover, you may not be unable to defeat the second BOSS. ]

[Unfortunately, it takes a whole week for the protection value to recover. Your clone cannot immediately confirm your idea, so you can only put the matter of raiding the dungeon aside for the time being.]

[Two months later, the avatar, who was slacking off in the police station as usual, saw a strange news interruption.]

[Content of the news: A large number of monsters have suddenly gathered around the world and an abnormal number of wilderness areas have appeared recently. Many marginal cities have encountered unprecedented wilderness beast tides, and more than 100 human cities have been destroyed. ]

[But before your clone could carefully consider the content of this news insert, the news quickly changed to the status of 'the publisher has been deleted and the content is invisible'. ]

[The clone didn't think much about it and didn't take the news to heart. When night fell, your clone came to the township of the 1st district and found Fat Tiger, who has now become a small and powerful gang leader in the 1st district.]

[Fat Tiger tells you about the troubles the Nightingale gang has been having recently. He says that a kid nicknamed Pot Cover is stealing their business, and the two professionals he sent to deal with him have both lost contact.]

[The clone, who had no intention of directly participating in the gang dispute, did not give Fat Tiger the response he expected. He only told Fat Tiger to be careful and that he would find an opportunity to use the power of the police to take down this ignorant boy.]

[After taking away a generous gift as usual, your clone left Fat Tiger's place and was on the way back to the police station... Following a burst of dense footsteps, your clone was shocked to see a group of masked "thugs" surrounding him. ]

[Without waiting for the clone to ask, a short-haired boy, only 1.6 meters tall, thin and about 16 or 17 years old, walked straight from the crowd to the clone and asked first, "You are the black policeman behind Fat Tiger, right?"

Considering what Fat Tiger said to you, your clone immediately reacted and asked, "Are you the guy called Pot Cover that Fat Tiger mentioned?"

"Very good, it seems that we have found the right person." Guo Gai said, "This is a gang dispute, and the existence of a policeman like you is too dangerous, so I'm sorry, I have to kill you here."

Your clone smiled, pointed at the group of ordinary people around him who were not even professionals, and raised the corners of his mouth in a hint of mockery. 】

[Guo Gai didn't seem to notice the clone's disdain, nor did he care about the clone's identity as a professional. ]

[With a command from Guo Gai, countless masked thugs took out the tools they had prepared in advance and attacked your clone...]
