To reduce my sentence, I developed a steel suit in prison

Magic City, inside Tilanqiao Prison.

Lying on the hard wooden plank bed, Li Bing slowly sat up.

Looking at the dim and cold cell in front of him, he sighed helplessly.

It's true that the ultimate destination for all good treasurers is prison.

As an outstanding graduate of the Magic City University of Finance and Economics, Li Bing did not expect that he would one day appear in prison.

"Hey... I should have known that when I went to college back then, I wouldn't have chosen the major of finance and accounting."

As the saying goes, where there is borrowing, there is lending, and there is a guilty accounting generation.

The owner of their company was being investigated for tax evasion and leakage because a competitor had set him up.

And he, the company's chief financial officer, inevitably went to jail.

He was eventually sentenced to ten years in prison under the first trial.

Ten years ah, a whole decade!

He was almost thirty now, and he had a few more decades of his own life ahead of him!

Li Bing looked disheveled at the iron prison where he was being held.

You're going to spend ten years of your youth in this prison?

He's not happy about it!

And yet... Even if he was no longer willing, there was nothing he could do about it.

Before serving his sentence, he had already checked the laws and regulations regarding sentence reduction, and there were only two ways to get his sentence reduced as soon as possible.

The first is to make a significant contribution to the state and society.

The second is an invention with significant technical innovation.

...

If you complete any of these, you will be able to receive the appropriate sentence reduction.

However, neither inventions nor significant contributions could be made by him, a student of accounting!

Li Bing pushed up his own glasses and sighed with another lost sigh.

Although he had a high IQ, trying to make a major technological innovation invention in a short period of time was a complete impossibility.

[Ding--]

[Sensing the host's mood change, the divine scientific research system is being bound ...]

Just as Li Bing was agonizing, the voice that burst up sounded in his mind.

Li Bing's entire body froze and blinked in some confusion.

Did you just hallucinate?

The system. What system?

[Please wait for the host, the system is binding...]

[Current progress: 63.8%]

...

The cold mechanical voice once again reached Li Bing's ears, which made Li Bing confirm that he was not hallucinating.

System!

Surprisingly, there really is a system!

After confirming that he was really about to awaken the system, Li Bing's breathing couldn't help but be rapid.

The Divine Research System, as the name suggests, is related to science and technology.

If you do manage to acquire some marvelous machinery, there is still hope for your own early release from prison.

[Ding--]

[Divine Research System Binding Successful!

This system is dedicated to the development of new and high technology for the host, and the host can redeem the core technology of new and high technology through scientific research points.

The system's voice echoed in Li Bing's mind, and the light of Li Bing's eyes kept flickering.

Sure enough, it wasn't wrong with what he had guessed, his system was really related to high technology!

...

[Host]: Li Bing

[Status]: Serving sentence

[Developed Items]: Not yet available

[Current research projects]: No

[Current scientific progress]: 0%

[Completed research tasks]: No

[Achievements]: No

[Research Points]: 0

In the next moment, the personal panel appeared in front of Li Bing, as if it was a traditional online game interface.

However, when he saw that there were only zero points, Li Bing couldn't help but frown slightly.

What the system had just said to him was that the core technology could be exchanged at the mall through research points.

But one's points are now 0, so one can't redeem them at all.

"System, how do I get research points?"

Li Bing meditated in a new voice, the most important thing for him right now was to gain scientific research points.

[Ding~ Research points can be obtained through R&D technology.]

Soon, the mechanical voice of the system answered Li Bing's question.

However, upon hearing this reply, Li Bing frowned even more tightly.

Do I need to earn research points by developing technology?

But you don't know anything about R&D technology now, so it's not like you're caught in a dead end.

He can't conduct scientific research with his personal knowledge alone, he can't get points if he can't conduct scientific research, and he can't conduct scientific research if he can't get points.

Li Bing frowned and pushed up his glasses.

Do you really have to start from scratch and do the learning yourself?

[Ding--]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the system and obtaining a newbie gift pack.]

While Li Bing was being entangled, the cold mechanical voice of the system once again entered his mind.

A newbie package?

There's also a newbie package!

The sudden voice made Li Bing instantly light up, not realizing that his system would even have a benefit like a newbie gift pack.

He used to read a lot of web novels when he had nothing to do.

Naturally, you know the importance of the Newbie Bundle.

The so-called Beginner's Bundle is actually the equivalent of the first start-up capital for your business, and it's crucial.

The odds are that it will help you get out of the predicament that you are in today's predicament.

[Does the host open the newbie package?]

"Turn it on!"

Without any hesitation, Li Bing immediately meditated with his mind.

He couldn't wait to find out what goodies were in the Newbie Bundle.

[Congratulations to the host, who has gained theoretical knowledge of the Make-I battle armor (Iron Man).]

[Please ask the host to start research and development as soon as possible to gain research points.]
