First Battle Deployment

"Give me a report on the current staffing and equipment situation in the prison."

"Yes, sir!" the soldier replied, straightening his chest and standing at attention to report to his superior.

"Tidal Prison is currently staffed with three snipers, two shield bearers, and twenty guards to maintain order. Please give your instructions."

Han Che listened to the report with a dark expression. The number of people was too small. Let alone covering the entire prison, this number of troops could not even cover the core area.

And not only are there no machine gunners and flamethrowers, but why is there not even a warden's guard?

Han Che silently called out to the system in his mind, "System, what's going on? Why are there so few people in Tide Prison?"

[Host, Tidal Prison has just opened, and all security forces are at their initial level and configuration. You can upgrade the security forces after Tidal Prison becomes profitable.]

"I have to upgrade it myself? Can I increase my troop strength?"

Of course, the basic prison guard costs 100 million Haff coins per person. You'll need to upgrade and combine the other troop types yourself.

"100 million Haff coins? 100 million for a regular soldier? Why don't you just rob someone?"

The system did not reply and remained silent.

Han Che calmed himself down. "Can a soldier who dies be brought back to life?"

Of course, every soldier can be resurrected after being killed in action.

"Phew, that's good," before Han Che could even breathe a sigh of relief, the system continued.

Each soldier needs to spend 10 Haff coins to revive on the same day; revival will be impossible after the deadline.

"?" Han Che's eyes widened, his mouth agape, and he slammed his hand on the desk, shouting.

"What?"

The soldier who reported was startled, thinking that he had offended the warden by some oversight, and immediately stood at an even more strict military posture, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Han Che then realized he had lost his composure and quickly made a coughing motion with his right fist in front of him.

"Uh, it's nothing. The staffing at our prison is indeed smaller than I expected."

"However," Han Che immediately added, his tone brightening, "comrades! As long as we, the Tide Prison, unite as one, I believe we can definitely grow stronger and live up to Hafk's expectations of us!"

After a moment of silence, "Your Excellency the Warden is right! We will fight with all our might to resist the outsiders and maintain order!"

The soldier who was leading the applause suddenly started clapping, and the rest of the soldiers joined in.

Han Che secretly wiped away his sweat. This sudden burst of excitement made him want to dig his toes into the floor. He cursed the system in his heart, thinking it was really desperate for money, wanting to spend money on everything!

He mentally pleaded with the system, "Everything costs money! How am I supposed to earn money?"

[Host, the prison distributes a variable amount of Haff coins each day on open days. You are free to allocate these Haff coins.]

[For example, HAF coins can be used to recruit prison guards, upgrade equipment, and contribute to prison supplies.]

The supplies put into the prison will be converted into supplies as rewards for player operators to loot containers.

"So, you're saying I control the drop rates for players? What if I don't give them any at all?"

No, the prison has a minimum daily al__cpLocation.

[In addition, when all player operators evacuate or die, their assets left behind in Tidal Prison will automatically revert to the prison's ownership.]

"What's your credit limit today?"

[Host, today is the first day that Tide Prison is open. You have no available quota. The value of the supplies in the prison is 5000 million Haff coins.]

"How much? 50 million?" Han Che was shocked again. In his previous life, when did he ever have such a rich drop rate in Delta Force? Even in a big red game, if you didn't get the Star of Africa or Tear of the Ocean, you could still get more than 10 million in one game, which was considered a super rich game.

"Can these remaining supplies be converted into money for me?"

Resources cannot be converted into prison assets; surplus value resources will accumulate and be used to increase the drop rate of player operators.

Han Che was so angry he gritted his teeth. "Fine, fine, a portion of my money must go to them as a drop rate bonus, and they can't take it back!"

But Han Che didn't have time to think about anything else right now; his soldiers were waiting for his orders.

Han Che snapped out of his feigned deep thought and looked at the only soldiers he had in front of him.

"Three snipers, step forward."

Then three SR9 soldiers carrying their backs walked from the middle of the line to the front.

"All three of you go to the platform directly above the elevator shaft, spread out, and take cover. Remember, no firing indiscriminately!"

"There's a large safety pin in the water right below the elevator shaft, remember! When you hear the pin open, all three of you focus fire on the person who opened it and riddle them with bullets!"

"Take cover immediately afterward. Do not attack anyone you see. Remain on standby the entire time. Just focus on protecting the main stronghold!"

The three snipers looked puzzled but answered loudly, "Yes, sir!" and then took their positions.

"Two shield bearers, step forward!"

Then a shield bearer and the soldier who had previously reported to Han Che stepped forward and came to the front of the line.

"Are you a shield bearer?"

"Reporting to the warden! Yes, I am a shield bearer!"

Han Che nodded. "You two will stay with me the whole time, and I will personally direct you."

"All other soldiers, listen up! All soldiers are to take cover at their designated positions on the second floor of the administrative area's gatehouse. Absolutely no loitering is permitted! Minimize movement and exposure!"

"Remember, nearby soldiers are only allowed to peek out and attack when the player is close."

"While prioritizing your own survival, fire as many bullets as possible into their legs! Don't aim to kill them! Don't fight them to the death!"

"All you have to do is hide and break their legs!"

Han Che noticed that the soldiers present were still relatively quiet and didn't whisper to each other, but he could see the incredulous micro-expressions on their faces.

"Everyone knows that the prison is understaffed and an agent invasion is imminent. We cannot completely guard the entire prison."

"Comrades, although you are not special forces, you are the backbone of the prison!"

"As long as you perform well, everyone will have a chance to be promoted. In this first battle, we want everyone to understand that we are not to be trifled with!"

……

Once the deployment was complete, the soldiers were all dismissed and took their positions according to Han Che's instructions.

"Is this new warden reliable? I've never heard of such tactics before!"

"Who says otherwise? There are only three of us snipers, all grouped together just to guard a safe?"

"Yeah yeah!"

"Who would bother opening a safe that's submerged in water?"

"Hey, we used to stand on that big platform and snipe whoever we wanted, but now we have to hide."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Forget it, forget it. A new broom sweeps clean. Let's listen to him, or he might take it out on the three of us."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go this way, what about you?"

"I'll go this way."

"Yeah yeah!"

"No way!" one of the snipers slapped the other on the head. "Get over there!"
