Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

Jinghai City No. 1 Prison, 90 meters underground, special women's bomb disposal area.

As several heavy hydraulic iron gates slammed shut, the dozen or so "destined heroines" who had just been arrogant and domineering on the street experienced firsthand the taste of falling from grace.

Those million-dollar haute couture gowns and limited-edition bags were all confiscated and stored in the evidence room.

Instead, they were replaced by glaring blue and white striped work clothes.

"Waaaah... The fabric of this dress is so rough! It's going to chafe my skin!"

Lin Chacha covered her face and squatted on the cold cement ground, crying with tears streaming down her face.

"That Lu Jingyan is no man at all! Not only was he not swayed by my charm, he actually sent me to jail!"

Vivian tugged at the collar of her labor camp uniform in frustration, her elaborate manicure scraping against the iron bars with a harsh sound.

"Stop crying! It's so annoying! Once my 'Most Popular System' reconnects to the network, I'll make him beg me to leave!"

Just as these former system hosts were chattering and complaining to each other...

A cold, authoritative female voice suddenly came from the deepest part of the prison cell.

"Shut up, all of you. Who gave you the audacity to address Officer Lu by his full name?"

The dozen or so women were startled and turned their heads in unison.

There sat a tall, slender woman with a cold and beautiful face and short hair, sitting upright on the edge of a single bed.

She was holding a plastic ruler and folding a military blanket into a perfect 90-degree right-angle block.

This woman was none other than Su Man, the former female drug lord who once terrorized the Golden Triangle and is now the head of the women's prison ward.

Vivian stood up defiantly, and relying on her superior numbers, she arrogantly pointed at Su Man.

"Who do you think you are? We're the chosen ones with a system! How dare you meddle in our business?"

Su Man put down the ruler in her hand and slowly stood up.

Her eyes, once stained with countless drops of blood, now shone with a fanatical devotion.

"The chosen one? You bunch of ugly ducklings, do you think you're worthy to seduce the supreme and law-abiding deity in my heart?"

Su Man approached step by step, her powerful aura forcing Vivian to take two steps back.

"Back then, I carried evidence worth billions, crossed half the globe, and voluntarily surrendered to Officer Lu!"

"In my eyes, Officer Lu is the only light in this world! How dare you vixens use such despicable drugs on him?"

Su Man slammed her hand on the iron table, making the stainless steel water cup vibrate loudly.

"From today onwards, the rules of this cell will need to be changed."

"I hereby officially announce that the 'Lu Jingyan Global Support Association Labor Reform Branch' is officially established today!"

Lin Chacha's eyes widened, and she even forgot to wipe away her tears, her face full of disbelief.

"You...do you have that serious illness? He's the policeman who personally sent you to prison!"

"You don't know anything!" Su Man's eyes were fanatical, like a fanatic who had gone mad.

"Officer Lu is physically performing a ritual to release my soul! He's redeeming me!"

Su Man turned around and pointed to a row of brand-new heavy industrial sewing machines in the corner.

"Listen up! Officer Lu comes to the monitoring room every Friday to inspect the labor reform situation in each prison area."

"Whoever wins first place in this week's sewing machine competition will be awarded the title of 'Provincial Model Worker'."

"Officer Lu will personally sign his name on the honor roll and give him a verbal commendation!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the female guests from the strategy team, who had been sobbing, suddenly lit up with an alarming brightness.

Lu Jingyan's autograph?

And his own personal praise?

Although the system has been confiscated, it was still a target worth 100 million points!

Even if it's just getting a second glance from him, I absolutely can't let go of this opportunity to gain his favor in prison!

The woman's competitive spirit was absurdly and completely ignited at this moment.

"Don't try to take it from me! I studied advanced fashion design back in the day!"

Vivian was the first to rush out and, without hesitation, grabbed the sewing machine in the very center.

Not to be outdone, Lin Chacha rushed over and grabbed the power switch.

"I'm the 'white moonlight' character! I'm the most skillful! This model worker award has to be mine! I want Team Leader Lu to see my virtuous side!"

"You're talking nonsense! Officer Lu likes independent women like me! All of you, get out of my way!"

Less than five minutes.

These were originally pampered young ladies who never lifted a finger and even needed others to open mineral water bottles.

She completely transformed into a frantic assembly line worker.

The deafening roar of machinery echoed throughout the women's prison area, which was 90 meters underground.

They even glared at each other and fought fiercely for the quota of sewing bomb suits.

The sewing machine pedals were practically sparking from all the pounding they were doing.

Three days later, at the First Command Center of the Provincial Public Security Department.

Lu Jingyan held a cup of freshly brewed West Lake Longjing tea, leaning back comfortably in his leather office chair.

He looked at the huge monitoring screen on the wall, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

On the screen, the labor reform efficiency of the women's prison ward has broken the highest historical record since the founding of the People's Republic of China for three consecutive days.

"Tsk tsk tsk, boss, I've really seen something new today."

Zhao Tiezhu stood to the side, holding a bowl of braised beef noodles, staring in disbelief.

"These women can operate sewing machines faster than I can fire a Gatling gun."

"At this rate, our provincial department's target for special police bomb suits next year is estimated to be exceeded next month."

Lu Jingyan gently blew away the foam on the teacup and slowly took a sip.

"This is called labor changing the soul. It allows them to deeply reflect on their weak legal awareness through physical labor."

"Whether it's a Mary Sue or a white moonlight."

"Faced with the ironclad rules of piece-rate assessment on the assembly line, everyone has to be a law-abiding citizen."

Without the system's nagging, and without those bizarre, mind-numbing encounters.

Lu Jingyan took a deep breath of the air filled with normal logic and felt that the whole world had become quiet.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Just then, the office door was violently kicked open from the outside.

Su Xiaoxiao rushed in, covered in sweat, and even her most treasured black-rimmed glasses were askew.

She clutched the military-grade tactical computer tightly in her hands, her whole body trembling with excitement.

"Boss! It's awake! It's finally awake!"

Su Xiaoxiao was so out of breath that she slammed her computer down heavily on Lu Jingyan's desk.

Lu Jingyan put down his teacup, a sharp, cold glint flashing in his deep black eyes.

"What do you mean, 'woke up'? Explain clearly."

"It's that massive stream of code and data within your body!"

Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the global satellite positioning map on the screen that was running wildly.

"It has finally completed its deep hibernation digestion and upgrade!"

"It not only completely destroyed the firewalls of those hundred-plus fake systems, but also reverse-engineered the encrypted communication protocol of the original hexagram matrix!"

Lu Jingyan suddenly stood up, and the powerful pressure of the legal code instantly descended again, enveloping the entire office.

The long-lost passive aura of "Absolute Rationality" returned like a king returning, once again elevating his thinking to a terrifying god-like level.

"What useful thing did it spit out?" Lu Jingyan's voice was extremely cold.

Su Xiaoxiao's hands moved across the keyboard like afterimages, projecting a high-resolution satellite image directly onto the main screen.

"It output a set of precise GPS latitude and longitude coordinates!"

Zhao Tiezhu put down his instant noodles, widened his eyes, and leaned closer.

"Where are these coordinates? Is this the hideout of that mad scientist's accomplices?"

The red crosshair on the screen rapidly traversed the map of China, crossing the coastline.

Ultimately, it remained fixed in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, in an unknown area covered by thick thunderstorm clouds.

Su Xiaoxiao swallowed hard, her voice filled with shock and unease.

"Boss, that's not your accomplice's hideout."

"According to the coordinates, it is a remote island in the deep sea that cannot be found on any human nautical chart."

"The master server for all the mutated systems on Earth—the lair of the mastermind—is hidden there!"
