A glint of killing intent flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. When outside, he could use his powerful spiritual force to cover up this external weakness.
However, upon entering the airborne prison, those with strong spiritual power would be fitted with suppressors. As a result, the sensitivity of his antlers was exposed.
When he first arrived at the prison, many lusted after his good looks, but he quickly crushed them with a bloody hand.
Even at the beginning of his transformation, due to the riot of his spiritual power, he wiped out everyone in the entire surgical center. Although he was transformed into this humiliating species.
In fact, Lu Yu himself had never actually been defiled.
He was like a carefully crafted gift that hadn't been unwrapped yet, and he didn't allow anyone to open him.
However, today he was molested.
Although the warden might not have done it intentionally, perhaps she was just being simply rough.
But Lu Yu was extremely annoyed by this sudden stimulation.
Lu Yu suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Warden, please let go of my antlers. They have combat functions and are extremely sharp."
"Be careful not to cut your hand, warden."
But Shen Ying seemed not to understand. "Really? They do look quite sharp. Have you really stabbed people with these things?"
The blush on Lu Yu's face spread even more. It wasn't because of the skeptical words from the warden's mouth.
It was because this woman actually ran her thumb across the tip of the antler.
Lu Yu almost couldn't help but moan, but he managed to hold on and not make a embarrassing and disgraceful appearance.
He gritted his teeth and held on, saying, "Warden, you're joking. Since I've entered the airborne prison, I naturally won't be reckless and fight anymore."
Shen Ying said with a tone of regret, "What a pity. I like to study cold weapons. I can't stand to see a sharp weapon's edge being dulled."
"Of course, I'm not encouraging you to kill people with your antlers in prison. But such a beautifully crafted weapon like art should be maintained regularly."
"Tell me, how do you usually maintain them?"
The sensitive antlers were constantly being held and stroked by this woman's hand. Every nerve ending of Lu Yu was agitated.
He really couldn't bear it anymore. Physiological tears welled up in his eyes.
Gritting his teeth, he managed to squeeze out, "No, I've never maintained them."
Shen Ying looked completely disbelieving. "How is that possible?"
She held one of the antlers. It felt warm and smooth, better than the finest warm jade. The surface was shiny and flawless, as if it had been carefully polished.
Shen Ying felt it inch by inch. At the fork of the antler, she even stuck her finger in and scraped it.
She clearly felt Lu Yu tremble all over, and his deer ears instinctively twitched.
Shen Ying said playfully, "Looking at the shape, the curve, and the smooth and rounded feel without a single burr, how could it not have been polished?"
As she said that, she exerted force on her hand, forcing Lu Yu to look up at her.
Shen Ying saw the spring-like look on his face that he couldn't suppress, as if she didn't notice, and said, "It was because your antlers were so well - groomed that I believed you were good at woodworking.
"As a result, you've disappointed me. Does that mean you lied about being good at woodworking? And even instigated the prison guards to deceive me together?"
Lu Yu's hazy eyes instantly cleared. Although he knew this well in his heart, he would never admit it.
Nor could he give the warden an excuse to "involve" the prison guards. Although the prison guards had opened the door for him with ill intentions.
Once the warden found an excuse that the prisoner and the prison guards were colluding, then she could settle accounts at will.
In the current situation, this wouldn't do him any good.
So Lu Yu had to suppress the anger from being molested because of his antlers and said in a humble voice, "Sorry, I lied. I did maintain them, but I was ashamed to admit it for fear of being laughed at by my fellow inmates."
Hearing this, Shen Ying nodded and actually seemed to easily believe his words.
"I knew it. With this kind of quality, it must have been maintained. The antlers I've seen in the zoo aren't this beautiful."
A look of humiliation flashed across Lu Yu's face. However, this woman still didn't let him off. "Then how do you maintain your own antlers?"
"Although your arms can reach them, it must be quite troublesome to handle them at this height."
"Especially here. It's so smooth that it's almost shiny. Did you polish it yourself?"
As she spoke, her hand moved up and down on that area.
Lu Yu felt like he was about to explode. He nodded with difficulty.
Shen Ying then said, "What kind of tool did you use to grind them?"
Lu Yu let out a soft moan, "A kind of polishing sponge."
Shen Ying glanced at the woodworking box. "Really? It sounds interesting. Is it in the woodworking box? I want to try."
Lu Yu's scalp went numb. He didn't know if it was from panic or because the stimulation from the warden's hand had reached its peak.
He almost...
Lu Yu blurted out subconsciously, "No."
Hearing this, Shen Ying said with a tone of regret, "Why not? I was going to forgive you for your rough woodworking if you let me grind your antlers."
"Could it be that your antlers actually have sensations, unlike your hair?"
Now Lu Yu finally understood that this woman was deliberately teasing him.
His heart was now filled with raging anger. This was the first time he truly remembered his identity as a "plaything".
His eyes even glanced over Shen Ying's neck as he judged whether he could kill this woman before she activated the explosives in the suppressor.
But after thinking about it, he suppressed this thought. Maybe it was the woman's beautiful appearance that diluted this sense of humiliation.
Maybe she still knew where to draw the line, so he didn't completely lose his cool.
So Lu Yu finally nodded humiliatingly. "In that case, then please trouble the warden to maintain them for me once."
There was a sparkle in Shen Ying's eyes. This place was really worth coming to.
She couldn't help but thank the system again and again. The system was almost spitting blood.
Was this woman treating this place like a brothel?
It was lunchtime when Lu Yu finally came out of the warden's office.
The prison guard who came to pick him up couldn't help but look at him several times. Lu Yu looked a bit dazed, with a lingering blush on his face and watery eyes.
He looked like he had just been had.
This was so fast. Although they sent Lu Yu here hoping that his good looks would distract the warden, the warden had started too early.
Didn't she even try to cover it up?
Then the guard thought of Lu Yu. He was a rising star who had quickly become a powerful figure in the prison right after he entered.
But now he looked like the lowest - ranked male concubine.
Just as he was thinking about this, Lu Yu's cold eyes swept over. The coldness in them sent a chill down the prison guard's spine.
Lu Yu sneered and said, "The Crown Prince. Good."
Since these people could send him to the warden to be humiliated for the sake of the Crown Prince, they would surely pay the price.
He didn't care that he himself was also happy about it at the beginning.
After returning the toolbox, Lu Yu went back to the dining hall. Bat and the others had already fetched food for him.
As soon as they saw him coming back, Bat said with a big smile, "Boss, how did your woodworking go?"
Lu Yu, who hadn't fully recovered from the after - effects, froze. He looked at Bat with a piercing gaze.
But if Bat could read people's expressions, he wouldn't be called a fool. Seeing Lu Yu's serious expression, he thought he had spoken too loudly.
So he quickly said, "It's okay, boss. The prison guard didn't avoid anyone when he called you this morning. Everyone knows you went to the warden's office to do woodworking."
"Some people are jealous of you and say that you don't have the ability but still snatch their benefits."
"I just gave them a good slap right away. Boss, could you ever do anything badly?"
"They also said that the warden looks like an unpredictable psycho and that you'd definitely be punished if you couldn't do the job well."
"That's nonsense. You're back looking so energetic now, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Lu Yu stiffened. If it weren't for the fact that the place where the prisoners had their unified activities in the morning was far from the warden's office and Bat didn't have the ability to eavesdrop through the alloy door, he would have suspected that this guy had heard the whole conversation.
Just as he was about to say something, Bat boasted to the other modified humans first, "Once our boss wants to control someone, it's definitely a piece of cake."
"Didn't you see that after the previous warden talked to our boss during those riots, he didn't pursue the matter? The current warden will surely be no exception this time."
This guy was stupid, but he blindly admired Lu Yu. However, his flattery of Lu Yu wasn't an exaggeration at all.
The handsome black - skinned guy with horns on his head beside him said happily, "So, it means the warden will definitely look for our boss again."
The lizard - man with scales on his face also said, "For sure. In two more times, our boss might be able to go in and out of the warden's office freely."
They all had beautiful plans and were smiling smugly. Lu Yu even missed the opportunity to stop them from discussing.
Lu Yu suddenly felt like he was being put on the spot.
At this time, Shen Ying also arrived at the dining hall and looked down at the prisoners from the second floor.
There were thousands of prisoners in the sky prison. Of course, these people didn't just eat plain rice every day.
They had jobs.
Unlike ordinary prisons that would undertake some factory assembly - line work, in this era, most commodities had already phased out manual manufacturing.
However, there were still some jobs that were difficult for machines to replace, even with the advanced technology of the present.
Some of the prisoners' jobs were related to the operation of the prison, and the other part was responsible for manufacturing the spiritual cores of mechas.
That's right. The huge expenses of the sky prison couldn't be borne solely by the headquarters. The manufacturing of mecha spiritual cores was the main source of profit for the sky prison.
These things were incredibly expensive. The spiritual core was the most costly part of a mecha, and the manufacturing threshold was also very high. Due to the instability of the energy raw materials, people with relatively high spiritual power were needed for the condensation and manufacturing.
People with high spiritual power usually had high social achievements and wouldn't easily take on such hard and tiring work.
Therefore, the manufacturing cost for outside manufacturers was extremely high, but it was different in the sky prison.
There were plenty of criminals with amazing spiritual power here. They didn't even need to be paid for their work - of course, there were rewards, which were performance points.
This was also the reason why many troublesome criminals caused a lot of trouble throughout the year but still could enjoy time in the simulation pods in the end. Their work points were quite high.
The crown prince and Lien, both with 3S - level spiritual power, of course, couldn't be wasted.
So, they were both put into the manufacturing position this whole morning.
But Shen Ying didn't see Lien in the dining hall at this moment, so she asked, "Where is 3077?"
Secretary Zhu replied, "He operated incorrectly while manufacturing the core this morning, causing the energy crystal to explode."
"He suffered a mental shock at that time and is now in the infirmary."
Without even thinking, Shen Ying left the dining hall and headed towards the infirmary.
Secretary Zhu originally wanted to follow, but was refused by the warden.
Shen Ying arrived at the prison infirmary. It was lunchtime for the staff, and many medical staff had gone to eat.
There was only a doctor on duty and two mechanical prison guards guarding Lien here.
Seeing Shen Ying coming, the doctor quickly said, "Warden."
Shen Ying nodded and looked at Lien lying on the hospital bed, his face a bit pale and unconscious.
She smiled and said to the doctor, "Tie up his limbs first."
"I'm going to do a check."
