"If the Lower City Mayor becomes one of us, it would be equivalent to owning a third of Nest City."

"By then, whether it's your vengeance or my plans, it will be much easier."

Old Jin shook his head with a hint of emotion in his voice and murmured, "Sometimes, the power of politics is not much weaker than individual strength. Before we have the ability to completely overturn the table, we need to learn to use it."

"..."

The little girl remained silent for a while in response to Old Jin's words, suddenly asking, "Why choose me?"

"Of course, it's not that I don't want to work for you, Old Jin, I just purely want to ask..."

"You previously took on students whose strength should have all been greater than mine, right? Why assign such an important task to me?"

"It's very simple, for two reasons." Old Jin held up two fingers.

"First, most of them, like me, have faces that are too conspicuous. Once they appear in public, it would inevitably cause an uproar."

"We can break the rules, but now is not the time. Doing so would only make the situation more chaotic, and the people of Lower City would suffer even more, so we still need to operate within the rules' framework for now."

"Second... is the consideration of strength."

"Although your class level is far lower than your seniors, in a place like Floating Island Prison, class level is not as important. Physical fitness and Special Ability are the key. Because that prison has special energy fields that can suppress Sequence Class and weaken the physical strength gain from sequences."

"In this case, if one's class level doesn't exceed the seal's limit, even if I sent Tier Three or Tier Four people, they could only perform at an ordinary person's level, at most using only one or two special abilities."

"Given that, I might as well send you. With your numerous abilities, you're sure to handle more tricky situations."

Upon hearing this explanation, Yun You understood.

That Floating Island Prison is like a 'Newbie Village' in games, capable of forcing everyone's levels down to the minimum, stripping away all attribute enhancements... meant to prevent powerful Apprentice Death Gods from casually breaking out.

But it cannot strip away the innate Talent Ability of the Apprentice Death God and the traits of the Sequence.

Seeing it this way, Yun You is indeed the most suitable candidate.

"Moreover, this is beneficial not just for me."

Old Jin fished out a tattered piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Yun You, and smiled, "You will have other gains too."

Curiously, the little girl took the paper and focused her eyes, only to see a single word written in ancient Sanskrit on it.

[Star].

"This is..."

Yun You furrowed her brows slightly, feeling that this thing was somewhat familiar but could not exactly recall where she had seen it.

"This is another fragment of the [Star-Attracting Skill]."

Old Jin revealed the answer with a smile.

"Star-Attracting Skill..."

Yun You's expression froze, a wave of excitement rushing through her heart, making even her breathing a bit rapid.

The Star-Attracting Skill—the body refining method the little girl practices.

Although only a fragment, Yun You relied on it, taking just a few days to train her physique to the class limit, transforming from a frail little girl into a mighty strength maiden.

Its quality is undoubtedly the best, arguably the strongest body refining method Yun You has ever encountered, and if she could continue learning it, it would be all benefits and no harm.

However, it has a small issue. It is incomplete and is divided into an unknown number of parts.

Yun You had also tried to search for it, but the Star-Attracting Skill had not been copied or published, only the original and an unknown number of replicas exist. Trying to find them in Nest City is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

So, the little girl had to give up, accepting that it was not fated for her.

But now, Old Jin has brought news of a second part of the Star-Attracting Skill, making Yun You unable to contain her excitement.

"I got this fragment from someone and learned the location of that part of the fragment."

Slowly, Old Jin explained, "This information came from a felon who, during a gang skirmish, retrieved that fragment from the body of an enemy. Although he could not use it himself, he knew it was valuable, so he made a grand plan to sell it."

"Unexpectedly, before the news spread, the guy was captured by the police."

"A gang member like him, inevitably with blood on his hands, can be quickly investigated... so he was soon sentenced and thrown into Floating Island Prison."

"Afterwards, some people interested in the Star-Attracting Skill found his home to search for traces of it, including me."

"No matter how we searched, we couldn't find the fragment, only discovering a torn-off piece of the cover, seemingly torn off in his panic."

"Given this, there is only one possibility for the location of the Star-Attracting Skill."

Old Jin smiled slyly at Yun You and said, "That felon used some means to bring the fragment with him, sneak it into the Floating Island, and plan to find a wealthy buyer there to sell it."

"After all, Floating Island Prison is home to hidden talents. Someone willing to pay a high price for the manuscript to collect is not an unreasonable thing."

"I thought about it carefully. Although the Star-Attracting Skill is severely fragmented, probably taking decades to piece together, impacting your future a bit... it's indeed a valuable thing, a top-tier body refining method particularly suitable for your physique."

"That's why I entrusted this matter to you, betting that my student truly has the luck to piece together the entire Star-Attracting Skill in the future."

"Your sequence is complex, needing to meet requirements of 'physical prowess,' 'stealth, and movement abilities,' and 'mental resilience' to advance. The part of the Star-Attracting Skill in Floating Island Prison should satisfy the first two, and as for mental resilience... I believe once the time is right, everything will naturally resolve."

"Of course..."

At this point, Old Jin paused slightly, gathering his serious expression and said, "I understand the difficulty of gathering the Star-Attracting Skill and know the risk is indeed significant. If you're unwilling to take a risk, I won't compel you. I can find another more complete and excellent body refining manual for you later."

"No!"

Without hesitation, Yun You waved her hand gently, saying, "Master, you don't need to say anymore; I've already made up my mind!"

"Star-Attracting Skill, I am determined to get it. The mayoral candidate's matter is also on me!"

As she spoke, the little girl clenched her fist, her face determined, making one feel as though she was heading to the battlefield instead of serving jail time...

"I'm settling for these three months in jail! No one can stop me!"

"As they say in TV shows, 'Enlightenment at Dragon Field,' I'll go and turn that Floating Island upside down!"
