I Maximize My Item-dropping Rate Chapter 12: Prisoner

Chapter 12: Prisoner

This was the fastest way to increase his strength in a short period of time.
"Other than the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow, there are no other Martial Entry-Level creatures in the sect that I can kill. I wonder if there's any suitable prey here?"
As these thoughts floated in his mind, Xiao Shi immediately began to investigate. He focused on finding out if there were any birds and beasts raised in the Night Patrol Division. Soon, he found out.
The Night Patrol Division indeed had a bird that specialized in information transmission. However, this bird was even more precious than the sect's Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow.
It was impossible to get it.
As for the other birds and beasts…
It was said that some night patrollers raised spirit beasts, but these spirit beasts were like their companions and were also a part of their combat strength. They could not let them part with them.
"Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction. I don't have to kill Martial Entry-Level bird creatures."
Xiao Shi was deep in thought. He suddenly thought of a place.
Night Patrol Division, prison!
There was a prison in each of the four areas of the Night Patrol Division. Detained separately were the villainous prisoners captured by the various teams of night patrollers in the course of their mission.
Xiao Shi walked all the way to Team D's prison. At the entrance of the prison, there were two night patrolmen in charge of guarding. After seeing Xiao Shi, they sized him up with interest.
"New here?"
"Greetings, Senior Brothers." Xiao Shi smiled and took out two pots of wine that he had prepared earlier and handed them to the two of them.
The two night patrollers smiled and took it. They took a sip and their eyes instantly widened. "What wine is this!"
They had never drunk such delicious wine before.
Through these two pots of wine, Xiao Shi quickly closed the distance between them and asked about the prison from them. He focused on the prisoners in the prison.
"Actually, when we carry out missions, we basically kill those villains and bandits. We rarely arrest them unless the mission specifies the person we want to capture. Therefore, there have never been many prisoners in the prison." The night patroller named Wang Changhuan said to Xiao Shi as he drank.
Xiao Shi nodded. "What do you usually do with these prisoners?"
"If it's someone designated by the mission to be captured, the higher-ups usually have special arrangements. As for the others who were captured, just lock them up." Another night patroller named Yang Zhen said. He looked at Xiao Shi and smiled. "You want to practice with prisoners, don't you?"
He knew that some of the new night patrollers would often find targets to practice with before carrying out their missions. The prisoners in this prison were good practice targets.
"Can I?" Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.
"If it's the prisoners designated by the mission, it definitely won't work. However, if it's ordinary prisoners, as long as the person who captured them agrees, they can be handed over to you to deal with."
Xiao Shi was enlightened.
In other words, the power to deal with prisoners was in the hands of the night patroller who captured them. If he wanted to find a prisoner to practice with, he had to obtain the permission of the person who captured him first.
"You're in luck. Currently, there's a villain I've captured in our prison." The night patroller called Yang Zhen patted Xiao Shi's shoulder. "If you want to practice, I can give him to you directly. However, you have to be careful. This person has a Martial Entry-Level Five cultivation. Although his strength has decreased under imprisonment, he's not easy to deal with."
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Xiao Shi thanked him profusely and asked after a moment of hesitation. "If I accidentally kill someone…"
"If he's dead, so be it." Yang Zhen waved his hand disapprovingly. "These prisoners deserve to die. To be able to let us practice before they die is their last contribution to this world."
Xiao Shi nodded. He was relieved to hear that.
...
The prison was dark and gloomy, and there was no sunlight all year round. The cells here were surrounded by walls, and it was usually difficult to see what was going on in the cells without the cell door opening.
When Wang Changhuan and Yang Zhen brought Xiao Shi to one of the cells and opened the iron door, Xiao Shi saw the prisoner in the cell. It was a burly old man with disheveled hair. His body was covered in dirt and blood. He was wearing special handcuffs and anklets as he squatted in a corner.
"Junior Brother Xiao, do you really not need us to protect you?" Yang Zhen could not help but ask again.
The two of them had wanted to protect Xiao Shi. If Xiao Shi was no match for him, or if he encountered any danger during the battle, they could take action in time to ensure his safety. There was once a night patroller who was killed by the prisoner because he was no match for him.
In their opinion, Xiao Shi was only at Martial Entry-Level Four after all.
Facing a Martial Entry-Level Five prisoner whose strength had decreased was still risky.
Xiao Shi smiled and shook his head. "Thank you, senior brothers, but I want to fight alone. If I can't even deal with such a prisoner, I think it will be very difficult for me to survive when I carry out the night patrol mission."
They both nodded. They were deeply moved by Xiao Shi's words. As experienced people, they all knew that rookies had the highest mortality rate during their first mission.
Especially Team D.
Usually, the night patrollers who joined Team D were the most ordinary and mediocre people. It could not compare to the elite team and the genius team.
Basically, after the first mission, a quarter of the rookies would die in the mission.
"Be careful!"
"We'll wait for you to come out for a drink."
The two of them stopped persuading and encouraged Xiao Shi.
After Xiao Shi stepped into the cell, they closed the iron door and waited outside.
Xiao Shi walked into the cell and found that the entire cell was even smaller than what he had seen outside. If they fought here, there would not be much room to dodge.
At the same time, the prisoner sitting on the ground slowly raised his head, revealing a ferocious face. His bloodshot eyes were filled with bloodlust, and his body was filled with a strong murderous aura. It was obvious that he was a person who killed all year round.
He stood up from the ground. His entire body was extremely tall, about 1.9 meters tall. He was like a violent bear, staring at Xiao Shi with bloodthirsty and savage eyes, letting out a hoarse and unpleasant strange laugh.
"You're a new night patroller, right? Heh, a mere Martial Entry-Level Four dares to challenge me? Do you know how many Martial Entry-Level Fours like you I've killed before I was captured?"
He clenched his fists, emitting crisp cracking sounds. The savagery in his eyes seemed to be able to spread out from his pupils, forming a deterrence. Coupled with his tall body, it brought a very strong pressure.
However, this pressure did not seem to have any effect on Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi looked at him calmly, as if he was looking at his prey. There was even a hint of undisguised excitement in his eyes. It was as if he had something worth looking forward to.
Such a gaze stunned the prisoner who had been stained with blood all year round.
