I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Chapter 46 - 038: Revitalizing the Territory's Economy

Meanwhile, the departing group followed Bayer to the newly built prison.

At the sight of the location, everyone froze in unison.

Prison? When did this pop up?

Realizing that it had happened within the brief period of time just passed, Li Xingteng spoke with some surprise, "The territory is too efficient!"

They had thought they would really need to be watched if they were locked up, wasting manpower! With the prison, things would be much easier.

What was it like inside?

With it, the stability of the territory would certainly benefit greatly.

Today was another day to give kudos to the territory, with more and more features being added!

As for the surprise of Li Xingteng and his companions, Yu Ziming and his were relieved.

They thought they would be expelled from the territory! Being expelled would really be the end.

So what if they were locked up? He did not believe they could be locked up forever.

The fear and trepidation they had felt on their faces eased.

Bayer noticed their expressions and sneered inwardly.

Then, Zhou Zhengping, Li Xingteng, and their group led Yu Ziming and his group into the prison following Bayer.

Upon entering the prison, the first thing they saw was a two-story building with a small open space in the middle, surrounded by cells on all sides, with one side fashioned as a fence, maximizing the use of space. Standing inside, one immediately felt a sense of oppression.

Looking at the small and dimly lit cells, the faces of Yu Ziming and the others relaxed once more, thinking this place was much better than the wilderness, where they would soon be able to rest well.

"Pack them all into one cell," Bayer ordered after looking around.

"One cell?" Li Xingteng exclaimed in surprise but, catching Bayer's dangerous gaze the next moment, he quickly instructed his subordinates to do as told.

Following that, one after another, people were stuffed into the same cell.

"Aren't there many cells? Why not lock us in different ones?"

"It's too cramped, we don't have any space to move."

"I can hardly breathe!"

"..."

Listening to their complaints, Bayer said expressionlessly, "Criminals who violate territorial rules have no grounds to negotiate."

The tiny space was soon filled with dozens of people, crowding the entire cell as if there were no gaps left.

As the door slammed shut, those inside felt even more suffocated.

And most frustratingly, under such conditions, their Experience Points were continuously falling.

[Experience Points -1]

[Experience Points -1]

[...]

"Why are Experience Points dropping?" Yu Ziming couldn't help but speak out.

Life Value was their life, Experience Points were even more so.

If Experience Points dropped, their Levels would too; without their Levels, how would they stand in this world?

Besides, the crushing crowd made it difficult for them to breathe.

At this moment, Yu Ziming and the others truly realized how severe the prison's punishment was for them.

Looking at Bayer's indifferent expression, Yu Ziming placed his hopes on Li Xingteng and Zhou Zhengping. @@novelbin@@

"We really know we were wrong, we definitely won't rob again, we're kin! Give us one more chance, we really won't dare to do it again!"

"Yeah! We won't dare!"

"Please give us another chance! After all, we committed the act before the rules were established."

"If we lose Experience Points, we can't survive."

"..."

Pleas for mercy followed one after the other.

Li Xingteng and Zhou Zhengping glanced at each other, unable to help but face up to the reality.

At this moment, they also suddenly realized why Yu Ziming and the others had looked indifferent about the prison.

Clearly, being locked away one by one in cells wouldn't be considered punishment for people like them who had roamed the wilderness.

Now, being crammed into one cell, coupled with the loss of Experience Points, truly touched their sensitive nerves.

They appeared to take pleasure in their misfortune, tacitly pretending not to hear.

The two were like this, and so were the others.

Seeing that pleading with Zhou Zhengping and the others was futile, Yu Ziming and his group fixed their pleas on Bayer, continuing to wail for mercy.

Seeing that they seemed to truly feel scared, Bayer then spoke at ease, "I can release you, but you must do as I say. Behave well, and I may consider reducing your time in the cells and reassign you to other rooms."

"We will definitely behave well," Yu Ziming and his group quickly promised.
