Imprisonment, for an Apprentice Death God, hardly counts as a severe punishment.
Ordinary prisoners need to adhere to strict rules during their sentences, lacking food and clothing while forced to do dirty and exhausting tasks, such as mining in environments without protection or transporting goods in radiation-filled wilderness.
Thus, most prisoners sentenced to long terms often die from hunger and overwork before their release day.
But Apprentice Death Gods are different; they don't need to labor and aren't tightly regulated, enjoying fully equipped individual cells. If needed, they can even obtain objects to connect to virtual networks—it's almost like a "vacation" with food and accommodation covered.
Yuanbao even thought that if she ever found herself fed up with it, she'd simply find a way to escape.
However, she hadn't expected the tax bureau to foresee this possibility.
