The Rise of Otaku-Chapter 330 - The Story King
During this time of the meal, the disordered prison became orderly, and there were even some normal-looking people appearing in the cells opposite of his. The reason why it was normal was because the names on their heads were all white. Judging from the online game settings, the white names probably meant that they had never done anything bad.
These white names ran out at the fastest speed, shouting while running: “Quick! We only have 10 minutes. If we don’t hurry back to the cell, we will be caught by those gangs!”
Everyone was in a hurry. There were women and children, but everyone’s look looked very pale as if they haven’t seen the sunlight for a very long time. Soon after they got on the elevator and went out, they came back in again. It was like a break during each class.
Soon Zhou Yu figured out why they were doing it, this was the only time they could go out of their cells and used the toilet outside. If they did it in their cells, it would become a hell in just a few days. Thanks to this 10-minute break, the corridor was full of robotic policemen. Whether they wanted to block the door or try to break through, they would be regarded as troublemakers, and then they would probably be locked up in solitary confinement.
However, except for the three meals a day, the robot police never showed up, and the people with white names never dared not open the door outside the break time. Those staying outside were all red names. Zhou Yu also didn’t dare to go out casually, but staying in the room all the time made him feel like he was a real prisoner, it was really annoying.
To get out of his room, it really needed courage.
While he was hesitating, he tried to talk to the children in the opposite room. There didn’t seem to be any adults in that room, only a little boy with his little sister. Every time he came out, Zhou Yu could see those red names looking at the two kids with hungry eyes, which was obvious that they have coveted them for a long time.
Every day, he could see some people at the door using all kinds of temptations to lure the little boy open the door, and they even took out some candies, this kind of seemingly rare food. However, the little boy had clearly seen through everything and refused to open the door. He didn’t even say a word. His eyes were full of resentment and alertness.
Even just for the little Loli and little Shota, Zhou Yu wanted to clear this level as soon as possible.
However, the communication with the little boy was not very successful. There was always someone lurking at the door during the day. In the evening, he tried to talk to them, but he got no response. It seemed that they either did not have the ability to see red and white names, thinking that Zhou Yu was pretending to be a normal person, or they completely distrusted everyone.
Living in this environment for a long time, it would indeed become distrustful of anyone.
Helplessly, Zhou Yu could only try to talk to them every night, hoping that his perseverance would change the little boy or the little girl’s mind. However, the cover of the hole was always closed.
Is there any good way to gain the little boy’s trust?
On this day, a man like a leader came over and said in a very kind tone: “Xiao Guang, it is fine that you don’t want to open the door. Just tell me the password of the Royal Room in the center of the “Prisoner’s Kingdom”. I promise. I will give you extra quota every day. Think about it, now your quota allowance can be shared with your sister, but what about when you grow up? She will be hungry every day and easily get sick.”
In his following speeches, Zhou Yu got some information. This huge sky prison was called the Prisoner’s Kingdom, and it was the kingdom of prisoners except for the royal family. Many years ago, a riot in the name of the “Declaration of Freedom” broke out, killing the king and all the members of the royal family. At the top of the Prisoner’s Kingdom, the royal family members were pushed off edge one by one, proclaiming the death of the Prisoner’s Kingdom.
However, the entire Sky Prison did not embark on the road of freedom as the prisoners thought. The leaders who shouted the Declaration of Freedom started to incite their believers to fight each other for their rights. In the end, the Prisoner’s Kingdom was split into dozens of territories.
Not only that, but the general public’s life also became worse than before, let alone the freedom they were promised. After the members of the royal family disappeared, the robot police were only responsible for the food of the people and no longer maintained order. Without orders, the prisoners’ cages of desire were opened, and all kinds of evil desires started to appear. Ordinary people no longer dared to step out of prison, so they have lived a real prisoner’s life ever since.
This kid named Xiao Guang had the blood of the Prisoner’s Kingdom’s royal family. When the Prisoner’s Kingdom fell, the queen handed over the two children to the servant, so they escaped. However, this secret was not kept for long, and people in the Prisoner’s Kingdom soon found out about it.
Some people still wanted to eliminate all members of the royal family, others wanted to help the royal family, so they could rise again and end this hell-like life, and some people wanted to use those two kids to control the royal room in the center of this kingdom.
That was the control room of the entire sky prison, and only the members of the royal family knew the password. By controlling it, people would be able to command the robot police. In this place, whoever could command robots would basically become invincible.
But this was also very strange. Since the control of the robot police was not controlled by the prisoners, why would the royal family with the robot police be overthrown? Could it be said that there was a fool in the royal family, and it was they who caused this to themselves?
Perhaps it was really like this.
Xiao Jin, the boss of the Red-sleeved Gang, wanted to obtain this password, that was why he was so patient with Xiao Guang. Once he controlled the royal room and became a new king, he probably would not do the same thing.
God knows how long Xiao Guang would keep silent. In case his little sister was sick and needed more nutrition, maybe Xiao Guang would compromise.
Zhou Yu must hurry up gaining Xiao Guang’s trust, and then use the 10 minutes break time to rush to the royal room, gain control of this kingdom, and end the turmoil in the Prisoner’s Kingdom. Of course, Zhou Yu didn’t want to be the king here, there was a Luhua City at home, and there were so many cute children waiting for him. How could he stay here?
It was just that how was he able to gain Xiao Guang’s trust? There was nothing in his hand, the other party could even take out candies. He couldn’t compare to them at all.
Is there anything that he could use?
There was nothing, and even the wooden lance was left on the last island, and the room he was in was completely empty. He was not good at talking or persuading other people either.
It was very sad.
What should he do? Should he defeat those bad guys to gain the trust of Xiao Guang? But what if he lost the fight and was captured by them instead?
After being frustrated for one night, Zhou Yu finally thought of something that he was good at.
And that was telling stories.
