I am the master

  Along with the assistant's voice, a light ring was put on Chen Chen's body and moved up and down.

  Next, the assistant's cold voice came: "Enable new permissions, you can start a light factory, get recruitment permissions, and recruit trustworthy people from prisoners to work where you need them."

  Hearing these two new permissions, Chen Chen couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement in his heart.

  "Just a simple explanation." At this time, the assistant added: "You currently do not have level 3 permissions, so you cannot enter the third layer, nor can you use level 3 monitoring devices and equipment libraries. It's just that two functional permissions were opened for you in advance."

  "I understand, it can be considered as a reward in advance." Chen Chen understood and nodded to signal everyone: "Let's go, we'll take a look at the light factory."

  Everyone was full of expectation, and when the next group of people came out of the laboratory and entered the door leading to the factory area, after walking through the long corridor, a vast space suddenly appeared in front of them, with various mechanical equipment and materials piled up like mountains inside.

  "This is a light factory, mainly used for producing some small-sized weapon equipment or devices, all kinds of materials are available here." The assistant also explained while everyone was looking around: "But I have to remind you that materials and energy are already in short supply, so it's best to use them sparingly."

  "I know." After taking a look around, Chen Chen calmed down and asked, "Assistant, how much longer can the energy in the prison support our consumption?"

  "Converted to the real time in your world, it can last for at most half a year!" The assistant calculated and replied: "But three months later, the energy will be below the red alert line. At that time, the functions of various defense facilities will gradually begin to weaken. In half a year, all defense facilities will completely lose their effectiveness."

  "So urgent... " Hearing this time, Chen Chen also shook his head helplessly.

  But as things reached a critical point, Chen Chen became calm: "Anyway, I'll do my best. Planning is in the hands of man, but success is in the hands of heaven. If it really can't be done, then we'll just fail together."

  "The main energy source of the prison comes from a highly concentrated crystal, which can be found on many planets." The assistant further explained: "The iris scanner specifically records this crystal. Once it's detected, it will give you a hint. I think that as long as you search carefully within your galaxy, you should be able to find it."

  "A galaxy?" Chen Chen rolled his eyes upon hearing this, "Are you kidding me? In my world, humans have just started exploring space and the farthest we've gone is to explore one or two planets. How am I supposed to go searching in a galaxy?"

  "That's what you should be thinking about." The assistant responded indifferently, "If we can't find this crystal in a short period of time, then we'll have to activate the backup energy system. This outdated energy system uses combustion for power, which means you'll need to find a large amount of combustible materials to keep it running."

  "My god... such a big prison, how many forests need to be cut down just to burn enough wood..." Upon hearing this, Chen Chen's face was still pale: "It seems like none of them are easy, three months... it's simply forcing me."

  "In short, that's the fact." After finishing this matter, the assistant changed the subject: "So, now that the light factory has started, have you decided on the recruitment target?"

  "This is simple!" Chen Chen nodded, turned around and looked at the rest of them: "Commander Glasses Snake, Satan, Kilen, these three will serve as technical personnel, with permission to use the factory and laboratory, responsible for various technical developments; Nikita, Natasha, will serve as prison guards, with permission to use the treatment room and training ground, responsible for monitoring recruited prisoners; Simon Hayer, will serve as an inspector, with permission to use the treatment room, training ground, and surveillance room, responsible for monitoring the movements of all prisoners in the prison."

  "I understand!"

  Upon receiving the order, the assistant immediately took action, and several light circles swept across everyone, granting them relevant positions and powers.

  Having received such attention and trust, several people also showed excited expressions: "Thank you for your trust, we will not disappoint your expectations."

  This reaction is very normal, once being spotted by the prison warden for recruitment, the benefits are too numerous.

  First, they no longer need to return to their cells and can enjoy the treatment of prison employees in the hall. They can use comfortable employee rooms, restaurants, etc. Like Ximenaier, Nikita, Natasha, who have obtained the right to use the treatment room and training ground, Chen Chen can also use various medicines and strengthening devices, and can conduct virtual actual combat training on the training ground, which is of great benefit to their strength improvement.

  So they were excited and hurriedly accepted, which is understandable.

  Chen Chen also nodded slightly excitedly, and it wasn't until this moment that he truly felt the feeling of being a host.

  Yes, I am the warden here, this is my prison, and in here, I am the master. Everything goes by what I say, no matter how cunning or arrogant you were before, once you come here, you are just a small prisoner under my management. I decide whether you live or die, there's no other way but to cooperate with me!

  "Director of the prison." After calming down, Kilen continued to cut into the topic: "No matter whether it's finding that crystal or finding a large amount of flammable things, this is not something one person can accomplish. Therefore, when you're outside, you must first consider establishing a powerful organization, and subsequent actions will be much more convenient."

  "That's right!" The Glasses Snake commander also nodded in agreement: "Maybe you didn't think much of what we Glasses Snakes did before, but you have to know that gaining dominance is a shortcut to gaining resources and energy!"

  "So, you're all eager to show your loyalty and tempt me into gaining dominance?" Chen Chen smiled, finally understanding why the others had been so anxious: "Sounds like it might not be a bad idea, I'll think about it."

  Having figured out so many things and carrying such a heavy burden, Chen Chen left the prison space.

  All preparations have been completed, and it's time to set off.

  At 5 pm, Chen Chen went to the airport and boarded a flight to Helsinki.

  The journey was very long, and it took more than ten hours to fly. Feeling bored, Chen Chen put on his earplugs, listened to music, and started falling asleep. He had been quite tired lately, and now he could finally relax a bit.

  I slept very well and was only woken up by the flight attendant when we arrived at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
