"Warden!" The female prisoner's eyes, still red from recent tears, paired with her delicate, tearful face, were truly...
Just then...
A series of mission details suddenly flooded Li Ming's mind!
Mission Reward: Special Forces-level physical fitness and combat skills.
Failure Penalty: The person outside will barge in after knocking. You will unlock the achievement: Liu Xiahui. Achievement Effect: Lose all interest in women.
Holy crap!!
Li Ming's eyes widened. What kind of absurd mission was this? Could he refuse? The unscrupulous author was clearly manipulating him again—same old tricks!
While Li Ming was still reeling from the bizarre task, the female prisoner didn’t stop her actions.
Torn, Li Ming froze in place.
After what felt like an eternity, Li Ming straightened his disheveled clothes and sat back down in his chair.
The female prisoner, seeing Li Ming looking utterly dazed, secretly smirked and waved her hand to catch his attention.
"Warden! My daughter shares my surname. I’m Wang Xin, and my daughter is Wang Keyan. She’s 20 years old and lives with my sister. Here’s her address." Wang Xin picked up a pen, wrote down her sister’s address, folded the paper neatly, and handed it to Li Ming.
"I leave everything to you, Warden! If you ever need me again, just call for me anytime!" Wang Xin said solemnly.
"...I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry." Li Ming snapped out of his daze, reluctantly pocketed the address, and pulled open the door to leave the room.
He hadn’t wanted this! But the penalty for failing the mission was too severe—he couldn’t afford it.
Outside...
Li Ming had expected Lin Xi to be waiting, but only two unfamiliar female guards stood at the door. Lin Xi was long gone.
Relieved, Li Ming asked, "Where’s Deputy Warden Lin?"
The two guards saluted and replied, "Reporting, Warden! The deputy warden received a call and left. She mentioned something about a new prisoner arriving and went to receive them."
"I see... When did she leave?" Li Ming pressed.
"A while ago—about ten or fifteen minutes!"
Li Ming nodded. If Lin Xi had left fifteen minutes ago, she likely hadn’t heard anything. She must’ve genuinely gone to handle the new arrival.
After instructing the guards to escort Wang Xin back to the cellblock, Li Ming returned to his room.
He turned on the faucet, letting hot water cascade over his newly toned, athletic body.
He wondered if he’d done the wrong thing. He was here to work and meet potential partners, not to exploit female prisoners. But...
This ridiculous system gave him no choice! Refusing the mission would turn him into a modern-day Liu Xiahui—how could he possibly say no?
Li Ming wasn’t inexperienced with women. Though he’d never fooled around in bars, his good looks had earned him plenty of admirers. Back in school, he’d been the heartthrob of his class.
Many girls had thrown themselves at him, but he’d always turned them down. Aside from his first love, he’d never been intimate with anyone else. Even Little Ya, the bar owner’s daughter, who’d constantly clung to him and tried to get him drunk, had never succeeded.
Yet today’s events made his years of restraint feel like a joke.
If asked how he felt about it now, Li Ming would admit it had been... exhilarating. Part of him even wanted more. But his conscience was clouded with guilt and unease.
Who knew what other tricks this system had in store for him?
Shaking the water from his hair, Li Ming gave up on finding answers. He dried off and studied his reflection in the full-length mirror.
The mission reward had already taken effect. His body had transformed—Special Forces-level physique was no joke. Every movement radiated power, and combat techniques flowed effortlessly from muscle memory.
He couldn’t help but marvel at the system’s absurd capabilities, defying all logic.
Li Ming collapsed onto the bed, deciding to stop overthinking. He’d benefited from this—it wasn’t like he’d suffered any losses. Why agonize over it?
If nothing urgent came up tomorrow, he’d mention Wang Xin’s situation to Lin Xi and see if he could leave to handle it.
With that thought, Li Ming drifted back to sleep.
...
Early the next morning.
Knock knock knock!!
The familiar rapping at the door woke Li Ming again.
No need to ask—it was definitely Lin Xi. This time, Li Ming took his time, strolling leisurely to the door and swinging it open.
As soon as the door parted, Li Ming rubbed his eyes and stretched with a satisfied groan.
Sure enough, it was Lin Xi. But today, she seemed dazed, staring straight at him without her usual cool, composed demeanor. Maybe she’d returned late and hadn’t slept well, Li Ming reasoned.
Puzzled by her gaze, he followed her line of sight—and looked down.
"..."
"AHHH!! Damn it! Stop looking!" Li Ming slapped a hand over his exposed lower half and slammed the door shut with the other.
BANG! The sound echoed down the hallway.
On the other side, Lin Xi snapped out of her trance, her face flushing crimson. She’d never seen... that before, let alone up close and in such high definition!
"That idiot Li Ming! How dare he answer the door completely naked?!" Lin Xi gritted her teeth.
"Oh god—I forgot I wasn’t dressed! I fell asleep right after my shower yesterday—didn’t even put on underwear! No wonder she was staring like that... This is bad, really bad!" Li Ming scrambled to throw on clothes, finally dressing haphazardly before trembling as he reopened the door.
Lin Xi was still waiting, but her usual icy composure had returned. She shot Li Ming a sidelong glance, confirming he was fully clothed, then spoke flatly:
"Meeting! You fainted yesterday, so today we’re reintroducing you to everyone. It’s happening at the prison entrance—all on-duty guards will be there. Let’s get this over with in one go. And try not to pass out this time!"
