Chapter 135 Counterfeit Cards

Late night on June 20, 17649 AD.

Except that the moonlight is relatively dim tonight, it seems to be a very ordinary day.

On the coast around Blue Taro Country, 10 small cruise ships are moored quietly.

On the cruise ship, a group of shackled apprentices from the otherworld rarely "see the light of day again" and breathe the fresh air under the moonlight.

"Whoosh!"

Hundreds of kilograms of steel shackles made rhythmic sounds as the apprentices moved around.

Perhaps because the cruise ship was too close to the coast, the sound of the collision of steel was clearly transmitted to the shore along with the waves.

The coast was pitch black and seemed to be deserted.

Blue Taro Country is an island country. Except for a few excellent ports, most of them are such harsh tidal flats.

So for those who are willing, it is really easy to enter a small country like Blue Taro Country.

······

"Is this the legendary Alcatraz?"

"I never thought I could walk out of prison alive!"

On the cruise ship, a pale apprentice looked at the distant coast with great excitement.

He will be free soon.

"There's nothing to be happy about. It's just that I have entered another bigger cage."

"As far as I know, a batch has been sent in every five years for the past 10 years, but none of them have come out alive."

"Don't be happy too early."

Another apprentice tried hard to move his hands and feet, with a sad look on his face.

He really didn't want to enter Alcatraz Island. After all, the crime he committed would only lead to more than ten years in prison, which would not lead to death at all.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as human rights in this world, and all the rules are decided by the big shots.

Otherwise, how could he be with the murderer in front of him?

"Haha, a weak chicken is a weak chicken."

"If these shackles hadn't bound me, I would have killed you guys long ago."

"Of course I know the inside story of Alcatraz Island very well."

"It's not that no apprentices survived, it's just that those who survived have become players."

"And I will definitely survive."

Keir looked at the nine fellow sufferers around him with disdain. Being with these guys had in vain lowered his level.

The shackles that bound them were not ordinary steel products, but mixed with a bit of extraordinary metal and engraved with a spell.

The function of the spell is very simple, it just suppresses their spirituality to the level of ordinary people.

Then they become completely ordinary people.

"Okay, you are awesome!"

The apprentices around him were too lazy to argue with Keir. This guy was not in his right mind and they would not understand him.

Similar things also happened on nine other cruise ships. A total of 100 Rishi apprentices were all transported here tonight.

The apprentices originally thought that the next step was to remove the shackles that bound them and let them swim to the shore on their own.

After all, all the unlucky people in the past were like this.

But today, fate gave them a huge surprise.

······

"Hmph, you are a waste among the apprentices and a disgrace to the world."

"Listen to me!"

"The great Tongtian Empire has issued a reward for whoever can kill the demon and clear the game..."

The jailers responsible for this round of escort missions began to read out the orders issued by their superiors.

At first, the apprentices didn't care much, thinking that they were being tricked into committing suicide again.

But when the Tongtian Empire's bounty appeared, all of them were instantly confused.

For three full minutes, there was no sound on all the cruise ships.

Only the drum-like heartbeat showed the excitement in everyone's heart.

No wonder the apprentices had such a big reaction, it was really a huge pie falling from the sky.

Not to mention them, even the jailer on the side wanted to jump into the sea and swim to Alcatraz Island with them.

"Click, click."

"Thump, thump."

As the shackles were opened, hundreds of apprentices rushed into the sea and swam desperately toward Alcatraz Island.

It was as if it was not a desperate place of death, but an ideal country filled with their life dreams.

The jailers looked at this scene of scrambling and felt quite complicated in their hearts.

In the past, apprentices in these other worlds were not so "easy to serve".

Once they are freed from the shackles, they will use all means to escape. Even if they die, they don't want to be eaten by the devil.

It's a good thing now, because I am rushing to reincarnate, for fear that I will lose at the starting line of life again.

"Thump, thump."

Suddenly, hundreds of swimmers were fighting for the water, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

······

"Hahaha, I am indeed more motivated."

"It looks much better this way, at least I'm very motivated."

On a luxury yacht 10 kilometers away from ten cruise ships, Milton watched everything happening in the distance with great relief.

Behind him, 10 extraordinary beings also witnessed the apprentices' struggle, but their faces were full of disdain.

"Milton, that gentleman issued such an important reward, why didn't you inform us until now?"

"If I had known earlier, why would I have sent these losers in? I would have sent you my best apprentice directly."

Among the 10 people, a blond extraordinary person spoke very unhappily.

His attitude basically represents everyone present.

It was only after they arrived at the yacht that Milton informed them of the reward from the Tongtian Empire.

Shock, anger, regret, and extremely complex emotions impacted them.

If it weren't for Milton's special status, they would have killed this bastard who deliberately concealed the news.

It was a real viscount. After getting it, all of them could move and leave directly.

Milton only told them now that it was definitely intentional.

······

"I know everyone wants to serve the Empire, but there needs to be a buffer within the game."

"What I need are players with potential who can clear the level, but I don't intend to turn it into a bloody battlefield."

"There are only so many places in the game, so what if 10,000 apprentices are crammed in at once?"

"It's not like we're killing each other and giving the devil an advantage in vain."

As a mature and prudent politician, Milton is very clear that he has only one current task, which is to cultivate game-passing players as soon as possible.

But this kind of thing must not be done blindly, it must be done in a rhythm and in moderation.

The players in the current round of the game are the ones most likely to pass the level.

Only if they fail in this round of [trial] will Milton consider the new players born in the next round.

According to Milton's calculations, if the probability of passing this round of the game is 50%.

Then the probability of passing the next two rounds will definitely be greatly reduced, because the devil will definitely start to suppress the players.

Only when players adapt to the demon's changes again will the clearance rate increase.

What he said at the beginning that the level would be cleared within three rounds was just the most ideal result.

But the imperial envoys like to hear it. How can they start crying and mourning before the work has started?

As a qualified politician, Milton has a deep understanding of human nature and knows what leaders want to hear.

For Milton, the most important thing is to maintain stability in the game.

Don't let the outside world affect the performance of players in the game.

The next big reshuffle stage for players is Milton's observation period.

If there are players with outstanding potential, then increase your investment.

And for players who have now become apostles, they naturally need to place heavy bets.
