The boy's answer left Jiang Zheyu even more confused.
"We are all beast slaves." The boy noticed the confusion in Jiang Zheyu's eyes and took the initiative to explain, "We are all beast slaves who have been trained."
Jiang Zheyu trembled slightly upon hearing the words "beast slave," her eyes widening slightly: "I was on a crashed starship and was inexplicably dragged aboard. I didn't sell myself into being a beast slave."
The orcs around him fell silent upon hearing his words.
"I was walking down the street when I was inexplicably dragged into a hovercar." A hint of sadness and suppressed emotion flashed across the boy's face.
"Huh? Aren't beast slaves all willing to sell themselves?" Jiang Zheyu pursed her lips.
"Tch..." The orc on the other side chuckled upon hearing this.
Jiang Zheyu subconsciously looked at him.
When the man saw Jiang Zheyu looking over, he sneered: "As long as the existence of beast slaves is allowed, and the huge profits that beast slaves obtain will lead some people to disregard the risks and choose to become human traffickers and break the law in order to obtain even greater profits. They will openly rob beastmen with low mental strength levels on the streets."
His explanation struck Jiang Zheyu like a thunderbolt.
Before Jiang Zheyu was in the position of beast slave, he didn't think deeply about the beast slave identity. Instead, he thought that by buying the other party, he should be rescuing the other party from suffering and so that the other party would no longer have to be a beast slave.
However, looking at it from another perspective, as long as there is a continuous supply of people buying animal slaves and there is a demand for them, there will be people who will become animal slaves, and they may not be doing so voluntarily.
Jiang Zheyu had previously considered buying beast slaves, but now he has no such intention at all.
Now she has become one of the beast slaves, and her future is uncertain.
"This is really not good news." Jiang Zheyu glanced at the orc next to him.
However, she remembered what the young beastman had said earlier: that all the beastmen here had already been trained. What would happen if a newcomer like him managed to sneak in?
"I'd like to ask, what's the difference between a trained orc and a newly bound orc?" Jiang Zheyu asked quietly out of curiosity. "Do new orcs need to be trained? How is that usually done?"
Although Jiang Zheyu had a vague suspicion that the training here was not simple, just to be on the safe side, he asked again whether he should reveal his identity as a newly bound orc.
This also proves that the orcs inside the hovercar she was pushed into had already been trained, so they remained silent and resigned to their fate after realizing they could no longer escape.
The young orc looked at her: "You'd better not tell them you were just kidnapped, or you'll be sent for 'training,' and something disgusting will happen."
As the boy spoke, his face turned slightly pale and numb.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Jiang Zheyu nodded quickly when she heard the boy say that.
The surroundings became quiet again, with only the strong scent of rouge lingering in the air.
"My legs are so sore." Jiang Zheyu could only stand, and so were the others. Any slight movement would cause them to bump into each other. Her expression was somewhat numb; her legs were so sore.
Thinking this, she unconsciously blurted out what was on her mind.
"The departments will be reassigned tomorrow." The boy leaned his shoulder against Jiang Zheyu's shoulder. "As long as you achieve high performance in the new department, you won't have to be sent back here for reassignment. You'll also have your own private cell and won't have to squeeze in with so many people."
Jiang Zheyu was fine when he heard the beginning, but when he heard that he might have his own cell, he almost couldn't hold back anymore.
Can one have their own cell? A cell?
"Can't I have my own room?" Jiang Zheyu smiled awkwardly but politely.
The orc boy merely glanced at her: "We are beast slaves, we can't have our own rooms."
Jiang Zheyu felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. She resolved to report the situation to the Star Emperor once she returned to the Empire and demand a strict ban on the trade of beast slaves!
After the thought flashed through her mind, she belatedly asked, "What does 'assigned to a department' mean?"
"When the department heads come to select the orcs tomorrow, they will explain it to everyone." The boy explained to her without any impatience. "If you have any special skills, you can volunteer to choose a department to join, so that it won't be obvious that you are a newcomer."
Then you won't get kidnapped.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Zheyu sighed softly.
It's truly chilling to think that an organization that traffics in animal slaves has so many rules. The scope of this profit chain must be extremely wide, otherwise how could it have formed such a complete set of rules and institutions?
The fish in the river wanted to cry but had no tears.
How did I suddenly become a slave to animals?
But thinking about it any further won't help.
She still needed to find a way to leave this place; she couldn't stay here as a beast slave forever.
Midnight has long passed.
The crowded orcs leaned against each other, closed their eyes and dozed off. Their feet, numb from standing for so long, would twitch slightly and bump into the person next to them. The person next to them would just twist their ankle and nothing more would happen.
After all, if a riot broke out in this small and crowded cell, many people would surely die.
Jiang Zheyu thought this was a really good opportunity!
A good opportunity to purify the beastification value.
The orcs around her were pressed close, which meant there was already physical contact. Moreover, the mental strength levels of these orcs were all lower than hers, so she could easily suppress them and purify their mental strength to complete the system task.
Jiang Zheyu closed his eyes slightly, feeling the body temperature of the young beastman beside him, and then used his mental power to enter the young man's mental realm.
The boy was unsuspecting, so Jiang Zheyu was able to enter easily and quickly put the orc boy into a state of mental hypnosis.
A pure white spiritual realm.
A cute tabby cat is lying on the flat ground.
Although the fluffy appearance is cute, Jiang Zheyu is currently focused on purifying his beast transformation value and increasing his mental strength level.
As long as she increases her mental strength level, she won't be so passive in every situation.
After the tabby cat is purified, it gains 80 beast transformation points.
After the pink and white rabbit is purified, it gains 85 beast transformation points.
After the hamster is purified, it gains 80 beast transformation points.
After the white fox is purified, it gains 86 beast transformation points.
………
Like a sponge merging into the ocean, the Jiangzhe fish continuously absorbed beast transformation value, just like absorbing water.
