326 ? The eleventh store

326 The Eleventh Store

◎Arrest Warrant.◎

Lu Yao has been observing the feedback on the scrolling message board. Not opening trial reading and 10% off the price are all disputes she can expect. However, the order reminder sound in the backstage keeps ringing. The first 50,000 copies were put on the shelves, and they were all sold out in less than 20 minutes.

Last night, Lu Yao invited Crow Random to try reading "The Lord of the Rings", and notified the Black Star team to pack a batch of books in advance. The service robot worked non-stop for nearly 40 hours. There are already 30,000 well-packed packages in the warehouse on the second floor, just waiting for the order to be posted, and they can be shipped immediately. Readers outside the island can get this new

book as soon as tomorrow. The popularity of the live broadcast was within Lu Yao's expectations. The bookstore also put the entire set of "The Lord of the Rings" on the shelves at the same time, and the event discounts are the same as those in the live broadcast room.

During the big break, prisoners came from the Ninth District one after another. The new balloon banners that were replaced in the morning probably worked. The number of customers who came to the store during the break that day was several times more than usual.

The new book was not open for trial reading, and the same was true for customers in the store. The 10% discount price was still 400,000 star coins.

There were many customers, and many were hesitant, but because the base was large enough, dozens of sets were still sold during the break.

Customers who bought new books couldn't wait to go to the reading room, sat down and opened the title page, and saw the two rows of small words - This book is dedicated to all the souls trapped in metal cans, and I hope you will enjoy this thrilling and regretless adventure.

Gus brushed his fingertips over the pages of the book, slightly confused, not knowing what this meant.

Gus opened the main text with confusion and expectation. The beginning was a simple map. The place name shown on the map was "Shire", where the kind and enthusiastic Hobbits lived.

Before the main text of "The Lord of the Rings" began, there was a preface and a forty-page prologue. When Lu Yao retranslated and typeset the book, he kept the preface and removed the prologue. Instead, he annotated the information about the Hobbits in the prologue and the information related to the previous work in the text.

Lu Yao processed this set of books in a special way. Even if readers did not notice the small notes when reading for the first time, it would not affect their reading experience.

Before Gus opened the book, he was still wondering what the "special easter egg version" meant. Soon after opening the main text, he understood the value of this set of books.

The sign of the adventure began when Mr. Bilbo Baggins was going to hold a birthday party for his 111th birthday. Gus read a few pages and could not imagine the image of the Hobbits and the Shire where they lived. Just as he was confused, a warm breeze blew past his ears, and a hillside with gentle green, small flower clusters and low houses seemed to appear in front of him. Not far away came the excitement of the celebration and rough and hearty laughter. Gus

felt a little damp and cold under his feet. He lowered his eyes. His broad soles were covered with a layer of long hair. He was not wearing shoes or socks. He stepped barefoot on the grass. The cool and slightly itchy touch spread from the soles of his feet, and the fragrance of green grass mixed with wild flowers brushed past his nose.

Is this the Shire?

Gus blinked in confusion and raised his head. As soon as his eyes left the pages of the book, the warm wind stopped in his ears, and the lively celebration and laughter left him. He sat on a chair in the reading room of the bookstore. There were many people sitting around him. The books spread out on the table were all newly-released "The Lord of the Rings".

Most of the others lowered their heads, staring at the books in front of them in a trance, as if they were fascinated.

Gus was surprised. So this is what the Easter egg means.

But this is just a book. It has no connection with the star ring and the computer. The reader can actually see the holographic projection-like picture directly from the book. Not only that, the overly real experience of reading spreads to the senses, as if he is really in the world of the book.

The book is still an ordinary paper book, but as long as the new page is turned, the reader will see everything that happened in the Middle-earth world with his own eyes.

This is not holographic technology, nor is it related to mechanical technology. Someone has used mental power to create a world in the book. Once the reader touches the mental mark of that person, he will be introduced into the world of the book.

Guts was shocked by this guess. Such a time-consuming and laborious task may only be done by three people in the entire bookstore, or even the entire Guandao.

No! With the popularity of the bookstore, this book can sell at least thousands of copies, and each copy must be marked with a special mental mark. Even a 6S-level ability user cannot do it easily.

The mental value is like the red and blue bar of the character in the game. There are fixed standards for the measurement of each level.

Even though he is a 6S-level ability user, and Lando is recognized to have high attack and unlimited potential, very few people can cover thousands of spirits at the same time.

It is impossible for the high-level prison guards of Guandao and the vicious criminals imprisoned in the first district to help the bookstore produce books, so this world in the book is the work of the owner?

Guts seemed to have suddenly glimpsed the secret of the hidden world. He was shocked and could hardly suppress his excitement. After his emotions surged violently, he calmed down and lowered his head to turn to the next page.

No matter whether he is the strongest in Guandao or the strongest in the universe, he is at most a spectator, and reading books is still the most interesting.

The guests were completely attracted by the bizarre adventures of the world of Middle-earth. The reading room was quiet, with only the rustling sound of pages turning.

The long break passed quickly. When the timer rang, the guards went to the workshop and the workshop to check the headcount, but found that many people were missing.

The guards in each district thought of the evil deeds of the prisoners in District 3 last time, and immediately had a bad guess.

A dozen guards drove a spaceship to the bookstore. Although the owner was not there, everything was normal in the store.

The guards found the prisoners they were responsible for in the reading room and were speechless for a while.

When the prisoners were called by their names, they raised their heads as if awakened.

0666 mercilessly put restraints and handcuffs on the seven prisoners in his charge: "Can you forget the time while reading? You are all elementary school students?"

Several prisoners did not make excuses. They picked up the books and held them in their arms, and followed the guards obediently.

0666 became alert. These guys always appear to be honest on the surface, but they are full of evil intentions behind the scenes. If there weren't many prisoners from other districts in the bookstore, he would have suspected that the prisoners from District Six wanted to follow the example of District Three.

0666 chatted with the prison guard from District Five for a while. It turned out that the prisoners forgot to go back because of a new set of books that was put on the shelves of the bookstore.

What a good book that would be?

0666 was irresistibly curious about the new books, but it was working hours now, and it would not be good for the prisoners to see him browsing the bookstore while on duty, so he had to temporarily suppress the urge to buy books.

When the prison guard from District Five and 0666 were escorting the prisoners out of the bookstore, they met the prison guards from Districts Four and Seven at the door.

The guards of Districts 4 and 7 saw the bookstore's live broadcast in the morning, and deliberately came over when the big break was over and there should be no customers in the store. Unexpectedly, they ran into 0666 and his group.

The robots have the best mask, the Iron Mask, so even if they are embarrassed to the point of piercing their soles, they will not show it to each other.

The jailers from Districts 4 and 7 calmly walked past the people from Districts 5 and 6, strode into the bookstore, and headed straight for the shelves where new books were placed. They did not stay long after buying the books and left in a hurry.

Lu Yao finished his routine live broadcast and returned to the lounge to continue preparing books.

Time passed like water, the artificial stars set in the west, and the bookstore closed after seeing off the last customer.

The volunteer jailers had already left work, but the robot clerks were still packing on the second floor. Judging from the situation, they might have to work until late at night again.

Lu Yao had just come out of the printing room and lay on his back on the sofa to rest.

Ya Luan was sitting on the carpet reading a book. The shop owner used his mental power to create a nearly real world in the book, so that even robots and robots could not process text information quickly and efficiently. Ya Luan read most of the night last night and did not finish a book.

Ya Luan always felt that there was a big conspiracy behind the shop owner's painstaking efforts to put "The Lord of the Rings" on the shelves. He wanted to find clues from the book, but he was always uncontrollably attracted to the world in the book and forgot his original intention.

Everything in the world of Middle-earth is so fresh and surprising, but it is also full of many elements familiar to humans. Power, money, strength, and romance are all so fascinating.

Reading is different from eating, walking, hugging, and fighting. Even if it is wrapped in a thick and hard mechanical body, the power of words will bypass many obstacles and hit people's hearts directly.

Because of the influence of the Ring, Bilbo still looked like he was in his 50s when he was 111 years old.

At the end of his birthday party, Bilbo said to his old friend Gandalf: "...I feel I need a vacation, a very long vacation, maybe forever...I am old, Gandalf. I don't look old, but deep down I feel I am old...Alas! I feel so thin, as if I were stretched out. You know what I mean! It's like butter on a piece of bread that is too big. That's not right. I need a change or something. (1)" Too much

time is like standing still. If there is no change, it will become a stagnant pool of water and eventually become turbid and smelly.

Mr. Bilbo held the One Ring for sixty years, and was not bewitched by the Ring, which seemed to bind the "Millionaire" system, and stayed safely in the Shire.

When readers of Starfield first read this passage, they did not know how glorious the sixty years that Bilbo held the Ring were, until they followed the new Ringbearer Frodo on his adventure and saw the elves, wizards, humans, and hobbits being bewitched by the Ring.

Readers shoulder the responsibility of saving the world together with Frodo, who holds the One Ring, in the world of Middle-earth. The power of words becomes stronger because of the influence of the world in the book. The temptation of power makes the white wizard Saruman evil, and the brave and courageous leader of the human race becomes crazy and blind because of the One Ring. The simple and life-loving Hobbits are tortured by the One Ring and their minds are twisted. In order to seize the One Ring, they strangle their relatives and friends and become Gollum who lives in darkness.

Dwarves, elves, humans, dragons, orcs, trolls... In the vast land of Middle-earth, each race has its own characteristics, and they are proud of their origins.

The adventure started by the Lord of the Rings ended in the Rift of Doom, where the One Ring, which had the power to rule the world , was taken to the bottom of the Abyss by Gollum, who was deeply obsessed with it.

Frodo, the ring bearer, had one finger bitten off by Gollum, but he completed his duty as the ring bearer and sent the One Ring to the bottom of the Abyss. He was finally able to unload the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, get rid of the torture inflicted by the ring, and become a happy and contented Hobbit again.

The ring was damaged, the earth shook, the plains collapsed, and scarlet and hot magma gushed out, and the rule of the Dark Lord Sauron came to an end.

Frodo and his most loyal friend Sam fled along the Doomsday Crack and were eventually trapped on top of a rock, with magma surging under their feet. Sam tried to talk about the happy life after the adventure in the most optimistic tone to resist the fear of facing death.

However, the lovely and brave Hobbits were not drowned by the magma. They were rescued by the giant eagle driven by Gandalf.

The adventure is over, and the rest is a beautiful and joyful narrative, just like Sam's feeling when he woke up from his soft bed -

I feel like spring after winter, the sun shining on the leaves, like trumpets, harps and all the songs I have ever heard (2)!

In the quiet staff lounge late at night, Yaluan lay on the floor gasping for breath, but he was just gasping for breath, not actually breathing.

He had just finished reading The Lord of the Rings, concluding an adventure of more than 2,000 pages.

When everything settled down and he got out of the exciting adventure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness.

Yaluan couldn't describe this feeling in precise words. He suddenly broke away from the world full of flowers, birds and sunshine and returned to the cold and silent bookstore lounge. The smell, smell, sound and touch left him in an instant.

He seemed to be suddenly locked in a narrow box, his consciousness became slow and he couldn't breathe.

Many images flashed through Yaluan's mind, and suddenly he stopped at the two rows of small words on the title page of "The Lord of the Rings". He sat up suddenly and flipped the pages forward -

"This book is dedicated to all the souls trapped in metal cans..."

Yaluan looked back at the sofa, where the owner was lying quietly, breathing long and sleeping peacefully.

He slowly reached out his hand, and his cold mechanical fingers covered the owner's mouth and nose, tightening little by little.

The peaceful sleeping face began to crack, creases appeared between her eyebrows, her eyelids twitched, and she began to struggle slightly.

If he were still a native human, his palms would definitely be wet at this time, warm, and quickly turned wet and cool.

Maybe he would feel a little disgusted, or maybe... he would feel an inexplicable throbbing.

It was a pity that he had given up that fragile and weak body... Why couldn't he beat that strange silver-haired man even though he had replaced it with a strong and hard steel body?

Crow suddenly let go of his hand and fell down beside the sofa.

As the strongest jailer in Guandao, Langxiong was defeated, and ended up in such a miserable situation.

Trapped in the body of Guandao's weakest cleaning robot, he developed fragile emotions because of a book, and couldn't help but feel jealous of the store owner who had an original body.

As soon as Lu Yao opened his eyes, he saw the cleaning robot in front of him. He slowly sat up and moved to the other side of the sofa, saying in a calm tone: "Why are you lying here? Is there something on my face?"

When Ya Luan's hand covered her, Lu Yao had actually woken up.

Not to mention that Lu Yao was alert, the Dream Fulfillment System and Shadow were always paying attention to her condition. If Lu Yao hadn't suppressed Shadow, Ya Luan would have been cut into pieces by the violent shadows.

Ya Luan: "I just suddenly feel a little jealous of you."

Lu Yao: "Envy of me?"

Ya Luan: "It's all because of that book. After reading it, even my spirit is weak."

Lu Yao became excited: "Have you finished reading it?"

Ya Luan nodded and asked tentatively: "Why do you want to put that set of books on the shelves? And you have to use your mental power to create such a world in the book." Lu

Yao suddenly realized: "Ah - it seems that you just finished reading it and haven't seen the Easter eggs yet."

Ya Luan: "What Easter eggs? Isn't the world in the book the whole book?"

After the sleepiness faded, Lu Yao couldn't sleep. He got up and poured a glass of warm water, took out a piece of cream fruit cake from the refrigerator, sat down and enjoyed his midnight snack comfortably: "So I said the 90% discount is worth it. I lost my capital in the ten-day event. But after hearing your feedback, I think it's all worth it."

Ya Luan couldn't listen to Lu Yao anymore, and went back to flipping through the books, trying to find the hidden Easter eggs that the owner mentioned.

After flipping through the pages several times, Ya Luan finally saw the twisted black vortex in the middle of the last page of the last volume: "Is this the Easter egg?" Lu

Yao had just come out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth: "I didn't notice it. You have a good emotional sensitivity."

Ya Luan complained in his heart: "This is an exaggeration."

----

In the prison guard dormitory of the fourth district, 0496 was sitting on the bed, with the open "The Lord of the Rings" on his legs, staring at the last page in a trance.

0496 bought the new book in the morning from the bookstore. She read it during her break at work. When she got home from work, she immersed herself in the world of books until late at night. After spending more than 40 hours, she finally finished this grand adventure. Soon after, she saw a vortex-shaped black dot appear on the last page of the last book.

The black dot was slowly getting bigger, from the size of a pen tip to the size of her thumb.

The space around the vortex was slightly distorted. 0496 guessed that this was also caused by the owner's mental power mark.

When she read "The Lord of the Rings", she had already fully experienced the owner's skill in controlling mental power. She was inexplicably impressed and even gave birth to an inexplicable fear.

0496 stared at the vortex in the middle of the page with curiosity and fear, clicked on the star ring, and sent a video request to 0766.

0496 sent a request for the third time, and the video request was finally accepted.

The suspended light screen popped up, and not only 0766 was in the screen, but 0777 was also there.

The background of the screen was the seventh district research office. 0766 and 0777 were sitting in the rest area, and there was also a copy of "The Lord of the Rings" on the table in front of them.

0777 seemed to be immersed in the world of the book, without looking up or speaking.

0766's voice was filled with excitement: "You haven't slept yet?"

0496: "You haven't slept either, have you finished reading the book?"

0766 nodded: "I was just discussing it with 0777, but he triggered a hidden Easter egg and has been immersed in it for several minutes without saying a word."

0496 blinked: "What hidden Easter egg?"

0766 pointed his finger at the page in front of 0777: "It's this small vortex, which is like a space entrance. It didn't appear when I finished reading, but it appeared when 0777 finished reading. At first it was just the size of dust, and gradually expanded to the size of a fingernail. 0777 chose to watch the Easter egg, and the size of this vortex did not change. You came to me now, did you also trigger a special Easter egg?"

0496 looked down at the vortex on the page, and her curiosity was instantly aroused, instantly suppressing all other rational considerations.

"Yeah, I was triggered too."

0766 couldn't help but envy her: "Why can't I? I also want to know the content of the Easter egg."

0496: "I'll go in and take a look, and tell you when I come back."

0766 waved her hands vigorously, refusing with her whole body: "No, no!!! Reading a book is like solving a puzzle, it's really the most fun to experience it in person. I want to find the key to the hidden Easter egg myself."

0496 hung up the video, hesitated for a moment, stretched out her fingertips and tapped the center of the vortex on the page.

...

In the seventh area research room, 0777 suddenly woke up and lay on the table, panting violently.

0766 looked up, a little surprised: "What happened?"

0777 still had a strong sense of fear in his heart. He opened his mouth to tell 0766 about the Easter eggs he saw, but no sound came out.

0766 tilted his head to look at 0777, feeling that he was in a strange state: "What's wrong? Are the Easter eggs interesting?"

0777 repeatedly tried to tell what he saw in the Easter eggs, but he couldn't open his mouth and couldn't make a sound, as if he was trapped in a jar.

0777 raised his arm irritably and pounded the table hard. Suddenly he stood up and walked towards the door, shouting: "I'm going to the first area. I must tell the warden about the Easter eggs!!!"

...

The bookstore started live broadcasting on time in the morning for three consecutive days, and the live broadcast room only promoted the newly released "The Lord of the Rings".

On the third day, nearly 100,000 people in the entire star field received packages from Guandao.

Half a day later, discussions about "The Lord of the Rings" gradually appeared on the star network. The most popular topic was about the shock that the story of "The Lord of the Rings" brought to the readers of the star field. There were also heated discussions about the world in the book, and a very small number of people discussed the hidden Easter eggs in the book.

It is rumored that only a few people triggered the hidden Easter eggs in the book, but the readers who saw the content of the Easter eggs remained silent, and no one revealed the content of the Easter eggs.

Such mystery has attracted more and more attention to the "Lord of the Rings" series.

Some readers have confirmed that the selling point of "The Lord of the Rings" is not only the huge and rich content itself, but also the world created by the spirit. The mysterious Easter egg content has attracted countless netizens who are waiting and watching, and they can't help but secretly place orders.

For less than 400,000 yuan, you can buy a book that is like a portable virtual space. When you are in a bad mood, lonely, or in pain and can't adjust your own state, you can open the book and enter a world full of adventure and happiness. You can restore the original human senses without the star ring or any equipment. Don't be too calculating.

In the past few days, the controversy about the 10% discount has gradually disappeared.

The Black Death Star, Deus suddenly opened his eyes.

Dusser stood not far from the treatment cabin, motionless.

Deus closed his eyes tiredly, pushed away the book in front of him, raised his hands to grab the tubes on his neck, chest, and arms, pulled them off and threw them out of the cabin, supported the sides of the treatment cabin with both hands, and slowly stood up.

The sticky nutrient solution was as thick as snot. Deus took some effort to stand up and stepped out of the treatment cabin.

Deus' consciousness broke away from the Easter egg, and he lowered his eyes to see a slippery water trail on the floor, and the sound of water came from the bathroom at the end of the study.

Deus!

Dusser walked quickly to the bathroom and was about to knock on the door.

The door opened from the inside, and Deus came out wearing a towel, with water dripping from his hair.

Deus said hurriedly: "Did you see the Easter egg? It's her! It must be her! The bookstore owner, she knows our secret! When was it..."

Deus walked around Deus and went to the bedroom, his voice low and calm: "Give the order to set off for Guandao in 20 minutes."

Deus: "You want to catch that woman yourself?"

In just three days, the sales of "The Lord of the Rings" exceeded 100,000. Even if the probability of the Easter egg being triggered is only one in ten, there will be nearly 10,000 ordinary people who know the situation of the canning factory.

For the canning factory, it will take several times or even dozens of times more people to solve the upcoming problems.

Deus's scalp tingled just thinking about that scene.

He would rather go to the Dead Sea and catch sea monsters with his bare hands than face the upcoming public opinion attack.

Deus took out a brand new uniform from the closet and put it on carefully piece by piece: "No, I want to meet her in person."

Duser: "Meet?"

Deus's emerald green eyes flickered with a dark light, and he said nothing more.

Originally it was just self-consolation when he reached a dead end, but he didn't expect to receive a response after sixty years.

Under the vast starry sky, she was the only one who responded to his wish, so naturally he could go to meet her in person with the highest standard of etiquette.

Duser gritted his teeth and spoke again: "The location of Guandao is too special, and our people haven't found its location yet."

Deus walked out without looking back: "It's okay, I know where it is."

Duser was stunned: "You haven't stepped out of that tank for almost sixty years, how do you know?"

...

Guandao, District 1.

The office door was opened from the inside, the warden walked out, and the secretary and the prison guards stood up.

The warden paused: "0102, 0105, come with me."

0105 stood up hastily, grabbed the bag at hand and covered the book that had not yet been closed: "Yes."

The warden saw a corner of the book and walked over: "Books from the bookstore?"

0105 was caught slacking off at work by his boss. After panicking, he showed a calmness that was indifferent to life and death: "Yes."

The warden moved the bag of books, and hidden underneath was "The Lord of the Rings", which has been extremely popular among prison guards and prisoners recently.

0105 has read the last book, and the warden asked casually: "Did you see the Easter egg?"

0105 shook his head painfully: "No. I have searched over and over again, and found 02, 03, and 04, but I have never triggered the hidden Easter egg."

0102, 0103, and 0104 lowered their heads slightly, not daring to meet the warden's eyes.

0105 is a newly promoted secretary prison guard. He has a 5S-level spirit value, ranks first in the practical test, and has impeccable strength. Perhaps his ability value has used up all the genetic talents of this guy, causing him to be a little lacking in mind, and he is very rigid at work and can't read the air.

Fortunately, he has reached the top of the internal system of Guandao, and his colleagues are basically capable, mentally sound, and noble prison guards. Otherwise, he would have been ostracized.

The warden swept his extremely oppressive gaze over several subordinates, and without saying much, he turned and walked towards the door: "Hurry up and pack up, and follow me."

0102 secretly exhaled and immediately followed the warden.

0105 hurriedly packed his things and chased after him. From a distance, he asked: "Warden, where are you going?"

The warden: "Bookstore Street in the eighth district."

0103 and 0104 who stayed in the office looked at each other and were a little surprised.

The warden of Guandao Island commands nine districts by himself, assisting the prison guards in suppressing dishonest high-level criminals. He also has to travel frequently to deal with politicians in the capital and veterans in the military. He never asks about trivial matters such as the investment promotion project in District 8.

The bookstore in District 8 is really special. Since the official opening of the store, the management director of District 8 has frequently reported to District 1, and later researchers from District 7 also often came to deliver materials.

Now, three days after the new book "The Lord of the Rings" was put on the shelves, the warden actually prepared to go to the bookstore in person.

The warden came out of the office, and I don't know what he thought of. He suddenly turned around and walked towards the direction of the prison.

There are not many serious criminals actually imprisoned in the first district, and because the prisoners' mechanical bodies have been stripped away, the required cells are not large.

For the convenience of management, there is actually only one building in the first district that is a prison.

The prison cell in the first district has always been guarded by the prison guard No. 0101, who is the most capable and strongest prison guard except the warden.

Crow Luan is the prison guard with the number 0101 in the first district.

The warden and two subordinates walked through the dark corridor and came to the guard room.

Facing his subordinates who stood up to greet him, the warden stopped at the door, squinted his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Who... are you?"

0102 and 0105 instinctively took a step back, almost unable to believe that the most indestructible Guandao District 1 would have such a misconduct.

Lu Mingxiao, who was wearing a crow shell, did not panic and stepped forward to salute as usual.

The warden chuckled, "You don't think you can fool me so easily, do you? For humans who have abandoned their original bodies, the mark of their mental power is their only identification. Ya Luan has been on duty in the prison area for twenty years, but his mark of mental power is not so cruel and cold. Who... are you?"

Lu Mingxiao sighed helplessly. In just one more day, she would finish her mission. It seemed that she had reached her limit.

0102 and 0105 passed the warden and stood in front of Lu Mingxiao, who was holding Ya Luan's shell.

0102 held a wooden warehouse, and 0105 held a bunch of black handcuffs, which were all weapons that materialized their mental power.

In order to see her again in the next world, Lu Mingxiao did not intend to fight here.

The mechanical body of Crow Luan fell to the ground with a bang. 0105 grabbed Broken Silk and punched his colleague's metal head. He turned around in surprise, a little bewildered: "My head is empty."

The warden took over the mechanical body of Crow Luan and ordered: "Check the cell immediately."

There was no useful information about Crow Luan left in the cell, and the prisoners were also normal.

Soon, 0102 found several books in a prisoner's cell, all of which were paper books sold in bookstores.

0105 also carried out a pile of books from the cell deepest in the dungeon.

The warden sat in the guard room where he always kept watch. Two rows of books were neatly arranged on the table. There were many essays and reflections on the books close to the corner of the wall.

The guard's mechanical body was taken away, and the paper books appeared in the cell. The situation was clear. 0102 and 0105 stood outside the door, waiting for the warden's order.

The warden: "Notify the management directors of the second to ninth districts to hold a meeting, thoroughly investigate the situation in each district, and arrest the bookstore owner Lu Yao."

...

District 8, bookstore.

Lu Yao had just finished her live broadcast and sold 20,000 new books online. Reprinting, packaging, and shipping must all be completed within one day.

She planned to go back to the lounge to drink some water and take a break before continuing to work.

The Dream Fulfillment System popped up: "Lu Mingxiao was discovered by the prison guards of District 1. Our mobile bookstore was completely exposed. Guandao has officially issued an arrest warrant for you."

Lu Yao: "How is Lu Mingxiao?"

Dream Fulfillment System: "He is not important. The mission is almost completed. You should think of a solution!"

The ultimate mission has been progressing well so far. The Dream Fulfillment System did not expect Lu Yao's method to be so effective. Just a book can arouse the desire of human beings for their original bodies.

The mission progress has been pushed to 85%. If the store owner is arrested at this time, everything will be in vain.

Lu Yao: "The power of one person is limited after all. To do business in Guandao, you must abide by the rules of the island. The Guandao high-level officials ordered my arrest, and I have no other choice but to cooperate."

The Dream Fulfilling System did not expect the owner to suddenly lie down so easily, and was very uncomfortable: "... This is not like you at all! The mission is just a little bit away from success, don't be discouraged!!!"

No matter how much encouragement the general encouraged, Lu Yao looked like a salted fish who didn't care about life and death.

Two days ago, late at night on the first day of "The Lord of the Rings" being put on the shelves, the mission progress bar had gradually advanced to 80%. In the next two days, no matter how many new books were sold, the mission progress only advanced 5%.

Lu Yao guessed that there might be a hidden hard standard for the completion of the ultimate mission. The preliminary promotion work was completed, and if the hidden standard was not achieved, the mission could not be promoted.

The mission progress was stuck, and Lu Yao had already tried his best. Now he could only take one step at a time.

Guandao was preparing to arrest her, which was also a possibility to break the deadlock.

Lu Yao decided to lie down.

----

After Lu Yao received the notification from the Dream Fulfilling System, he quickly arranged the work of the bookstore for the next few days.

If she was not in the store, the bookstore would definitely not be able to operate normally, and the painkillers and bean paste would probably not come.

At that time, the only clerks who could replace her to handle the delivery work were the robot and Ya Luan. Lu Yao temporarily promoted Ya Luan to deputy store manager and arranged for him to handle the delivery work for the next few days.

When Ya Luan received the news, he was stunned, and Painkiller and Dousha were even more confused.

They couldn't even compete with the mini cleaning robot for the job position, which would make people laugh if they told others about it.

Lu Yao didn't explain, and she couldn't explain.

After the work at the bookstore was arranged, she went back to the shopping street and arranged the work of each store for the next week in advance.

Before Lu Yao returned to the bookstore, she met with the clerks of the snack bar, nail salon, furry shop and hot spring hotel alone.

In the evening, just after the bookstore closed, Lu Yao noticed that the outside of the store was surrounded by a lot of people.

The person who came to pick her up was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a handsome appearance. He wore a black uniform specially made for the Kanshima Prison Guard, and the metal badge on his chest was very special.

The sense of oppression around this humanoid robot, which looks very close to a native human, is different from the prison guards that Lu Yao has seen. Lu

Yao heard halfway that the overly handsome humanoid robot is the prison warden of Commander Guandao. Although his mental value is only 4S level, his comprehensive ability is above all the prison guards.

Because the store owner has shown amazing strength, the prison warden and the eight management directors held a meeting and deployed layer by layer, taking the time to dispatch capable prison guards to prevent her from resisting arrest. The unexpected cooperation

of the store owner made the prison guards, who expected a tough battle, feel uneasy for some reason. Lu Yao

moved into the most luxurious single cell on the first floor of the first district prison that night.

Only the fourth district on Guandao Island is a female prison, but the gender boundaries of robots are not very obvious.

In fact, the third district of the inner island also holds some robots with original female physiological characteristics, most of whom are serious criminals with high ability values ​​and high IQ.

Lu Yao's situation is more special than all other prisoners. Her ability value is fully qualified to enter the prison in District 1, but she is a native human.

After consideration, the warden ordered his subordinates to urgently transform a cell in District 1 for native human criminals.

There is a bed and a toilet in the room, and the wall facing the corridor is transparent.

Prisoners have no dignity and no privacy in the cell.

Lu Yao sat dryly on the edge of the hard metal bed, so bored that he could only chat with the Dream Yuanmeng System.

"After Lu Mingxiao disappeared, who is the new prison guard in Area 1?"

There is no network inside the prison in Area 1 for the Dream System to invade, but it was not originally born as an artificial intelligence. Even if it does not rely on the network, it has other ways to obtain a certain degree of intelligence.

Dream-fulfilling system: "The new prison guard number 0105 seems to be a newcomer, but he is quite capable. After making sure that the electronic computer of the rioters could not be found, the warden directly appointed 0105 to temporarily guard the prison. In fact, the person in charge of guarding the prison in Area 1 is the warden, and 0105's main task seems to be to keep an eye on you."

Lu Yao: "... Well, my treatment is not bad."

The Dream-fulfilling system finally couldn't help but collapse in frustration: "What should I do? You must have been in prison before. It will be recorded and become a stain that can never be erased."

Lu Yao walked around the cell a few times, walked to the wall and tapped the transparent wall, while calming the system's emotions: "Now that you're in, what else can you do? If the mission is not completed, there is no need to worry about this."

Because Lu Yao was originally a human, the jailer was worried that she would accidentally touch the laser wall and die directly, and was also jealous of her ability. The material of the transparent wall is very rare fine steel glass, which is transparent but strong enough and can also isolate mental power.

Lu Yao tapped the bottom of the mountain, and 0105 walked over.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yao: “I’m hungry.”

0105 looked at her in silence for a while: “You’ve been here for less than four hours.”

Lu Yao: “I’m used to eating fifteen meals a day to barely avoid being hungry, and I must have at least six midnight snacks at night. Also, the beds here are too hard and too cold, I can’t sleep, and I can only rely on eating more to maintain my strength. Please increase the number of midnight snacks to twelve. I also need a quilt and pillow. The metal bed is cold and hard, and it hurts my bones. I will get sick if I don’t sleep well.”

0105: “…”

0105 couldn’t remember whether he was so fragile when he was an original human. This was the first time he was ordered to guard an original criminal, and a very important criminal, but he felt that normal original prisoners were not as arrogant as Lu Yao.

0105 hesitated for a moment and did not say anything. He turned back to the guard room, struggled for a few minutes, and finally reported to the warden.

Because of the previous incident of Crow Chaos, the new guards on duty in District 1 were allowed to wear star rings.

Forty minutes later, twelve steaming hot suppers were delivered to the prison cells in District 1.

Lu Yao sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the lunch box. The combination was quite good, with meat and soup.

0105 stood in the corridor with his arms folded across his chest, looking at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao took a bite of rice, a bite of meat, and a bite of vegetables, then silently put down the tableware. The collected lunch boxes and tableware were piled in the corner.

0105: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yao sighed: "You can tell the chef has tried his best."

0105: "..."

Do you think it's not tasty?

0105 has not eaten for fifteen years and has long forgotten the taste of food. He can't understand the other party's request at all.

The spoiled native person doesn't understand his situation at all.

Not to mention 0105, everyone else doesn't understand Lu Yao's approach and seems to be deliberately finding fault.

Lu Yao actually doesn't have any deep meaning, he is just boring.

After being truly imprisoned, the roles are completely reversed, and the feelings inside and outside the prison are completely different.
