Ye Wenjie, watch my moves closely.

Chapter 1 Final Judgment

"Brother Li, your final verdict is in!"

Inside the cold, damp cell, a prison guard, adjusting his hat, hurried over. Li Youyu, who was leaning against the iron bars of the window looking at the scenery, slowly turned his head.

"read."

A puff of white smoke came out of his mouth.

"Alright, Brother Li!"

The prison guard spat on his finger, then tremblingly unfolded the thin paper as if welcoming some sacred object.

"Defendant Li Youyu... Brother Li, that's you..."

"Stop talking nonsense and continue."

"Yes, yes, regarding your objections to the March 3.27th case, the final ruling for the defendant Li Youyu is as follows..."

The prison guards read through the words one by one, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

As the result approached, his heart suddenly started pounding, and he was afraid to look down.

Looking back a year ago, when Brother Li first went to prison, he was a poor, destitute son-in-law who was looked down upon by his father-in-law, who was a section chief, and despised by his brother-in-law who had gone south to do business.

But after Brother Li arrived, his casual words of advice came true one by one, as if he had foreseen everything.

He made a fortune as a result, not only moving out of the tenement building and buying three major appliances, but also having his father-in-law raise a glass to him at the dinner table for the first time ever.

From that moment on, in his eyes, Brother Li was comparable to Zhuge Liang, who was hiding in Longzhong.

Unfortunately, in the initial trial, Li was sentenced to death.

He was unaware of the intricacies of the outside world; all he knew was that a man as ambitious as Brother Li would never make a grave mistake for a woman.

Therefore, he has been helping Brother Li appeal in recent months.

Today, the final verdict finally came out, and he rushed to the prison area immediately without even having time to look at it.

"The defendant...!"

The prison guard raised his voice, thinking he was about to read the most exciting part, but when he saw the next words, his voice suddenly softened.

"How...how could this be..."

The prison guard murmured, the thin paper in his hand feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds.

call.

A draft swept through the room, blowing the judgment document to the ground.

Li Youyu picked it up and calmly read the second half of the sentence: "The defendant is sentenced to death, with the execution postponed for two months."

!

"No!! Brother Li, you won't die! I'll find a way to help you!"

Compared to Li Youyu, the prison guards' reactions were more like those of someone sentenced to death.

The reason is simple: his path to wealth has just begun under Li Youyu's guidance. If Li Youyu is executed, his future will be completely ruined!

He didn't want to go back to the crowded tenement building and have to put up with other people's attitudes!

He didn't want his wife to pull his ear and call him a good-for-nothing anymore!

He didn't want to see his father-in-law's indifferent look towards him anymore!

"Don't rush, Ah Ba."

Li Youyu reached over the iron bars and pressed down on the prison guard's head. "Take me to the infirmary and make me stay there for three days."

"Brother Li, do you intend to...more...?"

The prison guard pointed to the sky.

"Oh,"

Li Youyu sneered, "It's not that bad. They just walked in without any explanation. I'll have them ask them to leave."

"Don't let anyone disturb me while I'm in the infirmary. Also, I remember there's a clause in the regulations that says if someone independently completes an invention or creation during their sentence, it will be considered a meritorious service."

"It seems so..."

The prison guard scratched his head and found the law in a corner of his memory.

So far, no one has ever been satisfied with him. If Brother Li hadn't brought it up, he wouldn't have even thought of it.

But why is Brother Li asking this?

Could it be...?

"Brother Li,"

The prison guard said, "It's very difficult. We're not inventors. Besides, what could we possibly come up with that would be a better alternative to the death penalty?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Li Youyu waved his hand, "Go and get me a private room. There's no time to lose."

"All right.."

After much deliberation, the prison guard gave up on trying to persuade him and walked out.

Li Youyu turned around, picked up a cigarette from the iron box beside the bed, and calmly walked to the iron window.

Outside the window, on the road just a wall away, people dressed in khaki clothes were shoveling dead sparrows into the back of a truck.

The living sparrows were completely unaware, chirping and pecking at the poisoned rice on the ground, and soon fell asleep by the roadside.

As Li Youyu watched these scenes, his mind was filled with thoughts of the time when he had just transmigrated.

When he first discovered that he had traveled back to the 1980s, he was overjoyed.

At the beginning of the reform, opportunities were everywhere, and with his accumulated knowledge in later generations, it was only a matter of time before he became a self-made millionaire.

Unexpectedly, he was framed, imprisoned, and sentenced to death.

Seeing that the young prison guard bore a resemblance to his own pathetic self from a past life, he casually offered a few words of advice to help him change his life and indirectly alleviate the boredom of prison.

Now that the final verdict has been reached, there is no room for further argument.

"Fine."

Li Youyu looked at the countdown timer in his field of vision, which had already reached zero, and laughed, "Since you won't let me be a tycoon, then I'll be a complete madman."

[Enter?]

The system had been loaded long before Li Youyu went to prison, but he had no desire to go to the insane world of The Three-Body Problem.

The probability of dying there is much higher than staying in prison.

He just wanted to quietly make a fortune and become a nouveau riche with no ambition but no wealth.

But now he has no way out.

But not now. He needs to find a place where no one will bother him before he can enter the Three-Body world with peace of mind.

After dinner, prison guard Ah Ba arrived.

"Brother Li, the clinic is packed with people lately because of the changing seasons."

"fine,"

Li Youyu comforted him, "I've thought of a better place to go."

"where?"

"I asked the prison guard, Ah Ba."

boom!

Before he could get any answers, he was suddenly punched in the face by Li Youyu.

The inmates in the next cell immediately became excited, shouting, "Someone's being beaten! Someone's being beaten! The guard's been assaulted!"

Ah Ba covered his nose, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. He grabbed his baton and slammed it against the iron fence.

"You fucking dare assault a police officer? I'll throw you in solitary confinement for three days and have you reflect on your actions!"

-----

Squeak~~~Crack~~~

Behind the old iron gate was a small, cramped room, sheltered from the sun, with a musty smell permeating the air.

The dark wall was covered with many creepy scratches.

"Brother Li, are we really going in?"

Ah Ba was a little worried.

Once the door is closed, the solitary confinement room is plunged into eternal darkness. When all of a person's senses are deprived, time becomes a terrifying, dull knife.

He once tried going into solitary confinement alone while joking with his colleagues.

As a result, he went crazy inside and came out to find that only half an hour had passed in the outside world.

"Close the door."

Li Youyu went straight in without hesitation.

This place is undisturbed and quiet.

This place better suits his needs than the infirmary where someone might come at any time.

Squeak~~Crack~~

Ah-Ba closed the iron gate, plunging the surroundings into complete darkness.

Li Youyu leaned against the wall and lay down in the darkness, and the system notification appeared again.

[Story World: The Three-Body Problem 1]

[Enter?]

"Enter."

Li Youyu silently recited the command, and his consciousness vanished from his body in an instant.
