Chapter 69: Chapter 22 Peak Brain_3

"At first, I was really resistant, but gradually I got used to it and felt being a woman wasn’t too bad,"

"As for the Redemption Troop, ha, glass people going there is actually even worse than being hard laborers."

"After all, in the Redemption Games, glass people die too easily. That’s why in the Redemption Troop, people die almost every day, and each month, a batch of talented ones are picked to fill in."

Su Lei curiously asked, "What exactly is the Redemption Troop like?"

Liu Xu sighed, "It’s a corps specifically responsible for participating in games and earning redemption coupons."

"There are both strong and weak there, with around three thousand glass people divided into thirty squads."

"Each squad has a performance target, and the redemption coupons submitted each month must not be fewer than ten thousand."

The crowd exclaimed, "Damn, ten thousand?"

Even if a squad has a hundred people, that means on average each person has to earn 100 points a month.

Though in a low-level game, a glass person could theoretically get 100 points, that’s just theoretical.

Reality is almost impossible; surviving is hard, and even if they do survive, it’s likely they’ve paid for their lives.

Glass people are like toys in a game; Radiations are the real players.

"What happens if they can’t meet the quota?" Gao Xin asked.

Liu Xu’s face turned pale, "First, the captain has to die, then they pick some of the worst performers to offset the deficit, one person offsetting 100 points, however much they’re short, that’s how many people they use to settle the debt."

"And this so-called ’settling the debt’ means being sent to the Prey Troop, which is the worst place."

The crowd puzzled, "Prey Troop? What do they do there? Can it be worse than the Redemption Troop?"

Liu Xu spoke somberly, "As the name implies, it means becoming prey... becoming food for the beasts."

Becoming food!

Everyone was horror-stricken yet not surprised. Having seen the brutality of the Japanese today, being sent as food also counts as ’waste utilization’.

Liu Xu sighed, "So you see, after you go out, being assigned to the Hard Labor Troop is actually best..."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Turns out joining the Entertainment Troop was the best choice, or else at least becoming a laborer, those routes at least allowed them to survive.

At this, Meimei wryly smiled.

All her efforts had barely secured her stay, only to result in a worse option?

"I’d rather be in the Redemption Troop than join any Entertainment Troop," Meimei said firmly.

Liu Xu smirked, "It’s not like you can just join the Redemption Troop whenever you want; you either need talent or to be relatively strong compared to other glass people."

Gao Xin continued to question Liu Xu, "You mentioned selecting people from the slaves to wager their lives on the black medicine; generally, which troop do you pick from?"

"The Redemption Troop," Liu Xu confirmed, "That’s the reward for those who submit more than a thousand redemption coupons."

Everyone was speechless, "Well, turns out it’s not given for free."

Being in the Redemption Troop means earning over a thousand, so aren’t they just using the redemption coupons they desperately earned to trade for black medicine and then using it on themselves?

Everyone was cursing under their breath while feeling utterly hopeless about their future.

Only Gao Xin was contemplative; he possessed over three thousand points but still not enough to exchange for the gene protector.

And without being a Radiation, other enhancements were out of the question.

However, now with an opportunity to gamble life with black medicine for submitting over a thousand, what should he do?

But that’s only a ten percent chance of survival.

Gao Xin said in a low tone, "What else is there? If the performance is even higher, what other treatments are there?"

Liu Xu shook her head, "I’m not sure of more; I was previously in the Entertainment Troop and only joined the Redemption Troop a few days ago, assigned to Brother Qiao’s squad."

"Don’t listen to what Baldy said earlier; actually, Brother Qiao is a good person. He takes care of the newcomers and only became a squad leader after steadily becoming a top seller."

"He saw that I turned into a woman and worried I’d be bullied in the dorm, so he let me sleep in his room, as he has a separate house as a squad leader."

Gao Xin thought, so even if he submitted more, he would at most become a squad leader in the Redemption Troop.

Think about it, they’re just glass people, what more could they want?

It’s either they get assigned black medicine to gamble with their lives; even with talent, they must become Radiations first.

"No way, I can’t submit them; I struggled to get those redemption coupons, to give the Japanese an edge, only to bet on a ninety percent chance of death? Dying like this would be ridiculous,"

"97, just list out all the things that can strengthen ordinary people,"

Gao Xin scrutinized every listed exchange carefully.

Enhance a bit where possible; surely not all of Emperor Ran’s bizarre inventions were unusable by glass people?

Sure enough, a vast array of general enhancements was displayed.

Indeed, they could enhance glass people, some temporarily and others permanently.

Reaction speed, muscle strength, immune antibodies, organ function, cellular activity, brain intelligence... all could be enhanced.

Three thousand points were barely enough to max out one of them.

But looking at the effects, even if he spent more, it was impossible to exceed human limits.

For instance, in terms of reaction, the quickest was 0.1 seconds.

For strength, only up to three times his own body weight.

That’s the reality for glass people.

Each species has its limits; becoming a Radiation essentially meant changing species, vastly expanding limits, and possessing more potential to develop.

"My over three thousand points, even if used to enhance strength or physique, Sasaki would still be able to cut me down with one stroke... there’s no necessity to enhance combat capabilities,"

"Then it’s... all dumped into intelligence?"

After reviewing the detailed descriptions of various brain enhancements, Gao Xin made up his mind and made his selection.
