Xishengyi didn't sleep all night.

The ringing of a bell briefly covered up the noise from the 19th floor.

The supervisor's electric baton knocked on the iron fence, and Xishengyi woke up as if from a dream, stood up and walked out.

The next day, the same procedure as the first day was repeated. When Xishengyi sat at his workstation and started operating the sewing machine, the pain accumulated on the first day began to show.

[I don't think I'll get tendonitis, will I?]

Xishengyi smiled bitterly as he stepped on it.

[You will stay in this world for another two years. If you succeed, your body will return to health in the next world.]

Xishengyi exhaled, his expression somewhat dull: [That’s right.]

After she pressed it three times, she realized what the system had just said, [Two years??? You mean I have to stay for another two years??? With the monster called greed???]

[......Um.]

Seeing her face full of despair, the system consoled her: [Chu Lin shouldn’t do anything to you. 90% of his attention means he likes you very much, so he definitely won’t—]

[Nothing will happen? Are you going to torture me? You saw how miserable I was last time. Can you promise that I won't be even more miserable this time? Sign a contract? If you can't guarantee it, will you take the blame for me?]

[......]

Xi Shengyi was in despair for the whole morning, and when it was time for dinner, she had no appetite at all.

After a long time, Xishengyi's stomach growled. She was pulled out of her thoughts and realized something was wrong.

Why haven’t you started distributing the steamed buns yet?

The other prisoners also began to whisper to each other. Since it was not free time, they were not allowed to talk. Only occasionally some prisoners would whisper a few words when the supervisor was away.

After all, it’s not a pleasant experience to work on an empty stomach.

As time passed, the prisoners became visibly anxious, but no one dared to ask.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard on the stairs.

A man in a suit appeared at the stairs, followed by two supervisors.

Xishengyi was a little surprised when he saw the man's attire.

This is——the attire of a division chief.

"Everyone." The man held the megaphone as gracefully as if it were a microphone. "From now on, I will be your trusted district leader."

The entire fifteenth floor was silent for a moment.

The supervisor next to the man cleared his throat: "Applause!"

There was sparse but definitely perfunctory applause, and the prisoners reluctantly raised their exhausted hands and clapped their hands for as long as possible.

"Okay." The new division chief was finally satisfied and smiled: "I am also a new official. There are some rules on our 18th floor that I don't like, so I stayed up a few nights to come up with the most appropriate new rules."

Another supervisor next to him began to read:

"1. From now on, lunch time will be changed to free time, and the duration will be extended to one hour, plus a half-hour break. The resting place will still be the workstation."

As soon as the words fell, some prisoners could not help but cheer, but were immediately intimidated by the supervisor's eyes.

Xishengyi was also somewhat happy.

Take a nap!

But she had a hunch that something was wrong—

According to the information I got before, Chu Lin should be the only one who has the power to change all the regulations, but now...

"Two. Shower time once every three days. The location is the bathroom on the second floor. Line up in order. Each person has ten minutes."

Xishengyi was even happier.

[system! ]

[Um? ]

Xishengyi involuntarily crossed his legs: [I suddenly feel that two years is not impossible to endure.]

The system was silent for a long time. Finally, it said: [You really only care about food and not about punishment.]

The supervisor who was reading the rules also stopped for a long time. Everyone thought that these were the only two rules, but the supervisor spoke again:

"Three. Someone previously took advantage of their status to enter and leave the building at will, and even frequently absented from work without reason. Today, that man and woman have been sent to the 20th floor. The district commander hopes that you will take this as a warning."

The smile on Xishengyi's face froze.

She blurted out subconsciously:

"Is it... Ivy and the one with purple hair?"

Her voice was very penetrating, and it pierced through the silent air and landed word by word in the ears of the district chief.

Xishengyi panicked after she finished speaking, but it was too late to take it back, so she could only try her best to make amends.

Xishengyi bowed deeply without raising his waist.

The district chief was silent for a moment, swallowed his saliva, but still had a smile on his face, and said with ease:

"Yes."

His tone didn't sound angry. Xi Shengyi stood up and was about to say something else when he saw the division chief waving his hand, "Everyone, go eat."

Xishengyi had no choice but to follow the team.

The lunch was not harmonious.

The two factions were still at loggerheads, and now without their leader they became even more chaotic, starting to curse each other while eating.

"It must be Sister Ivy who was informed by Purple Hair! And she ended up getting herself involved as well!"

"Sue your mother! Do you have any brains? What is the 20th floor? It's hell on earth! Can my boss take such a big risk?"

Some of them had already started crying. Some even kept saying they wanted to accompany the boss, but when they reached the restaurant door, they were too scared to do so, so they turned back in disgrace and began to eat in grief and anger.

Xishengyi sat silently in the corner, eating silently, out of tune with the people around him.

As expected, she was the first one to finish eating. After cleaning up the dishes, Xishengyi returned to her workstation and decided to sleep a little longer.

She put on the earplugs given by Ivy before going to bed.

The system asked quietly: [Host, aren’t you worried?]

[I am worried. But I can’t help it.] Xishengyi rubbed his head against his arm:

[If I go to beg Chu Lin now, even if Ivy is released, I won’t be able to escape. In the end, the world will still be destroyed.]

The system had told her before that if she couldn't make it through 30 days and Xishengyi failed to leave this world by the deadline, this world would be destroyed instantly.

Only by thoroughly and successfully conquering all seven worlds will each world be safe.

It's not a pass system, it's a pass system. If you can't make up 30 days, it's useless even if you pay 100%.

Xishengyi used lunch time to sort out his thoughts.

She tried her best not to think about the tragedy she saw last night, and tried not to guess what would happen to Ivy.

Seeing her sad face, the system considerately displayed a progress bar:

[There are still 24.6 days left, come on.]

Xishengyi put in his earplugs before going to bed, hoping that his temperature would be 24.5 when he woke up.

She had just fallen asleep when someone woke her up.

"Miss Zhang?"

Xishengyi frowned in his dream.

What are Miss Zhang and Miss Li? They recognized the wrong people here and disturbed people's dreams.

...Miss Zhang...

Wait!

Xishengyi jumped up suddenly and met the smiling face of the trusted division chief.

This familiar position, the familiar smile, the same place, and the same identity.

Xishengyi was speechless.

No way, Chu Lin's subordinates are all perverts?

She touched her face roughly, still sitting with her legs crossed and her head in her hands, and asked in a stern voice, "What can I do for you?"

The division chief sighed in his heart.

This girl is pretty, but her attitude——

He smiled and said, "You and Ivy are friends?"

Xishengyi: "......Is that right."

"Want to save her?"

Xishengyi had a hunch that this was a trap and didn't say anything for a moment.

"If you want to save her, I have a way."

The supervisor brought a chair and the district chief sat on it, crossing his legs.

Xishengyi felt that it was not good for him to be "on an equal footing" with him, so he silently put down his legs.

"...What method?"

Although Xishengyi tried his best to make his expression look indifferent, he couldn't help but show some concern.

This scenario was pretty much what the district chief had imagined, so he followed the process he had planned:

"You've heard of Chu Xisheng, right? He will come to our district soon. I'll send you up there, so you can take the opportunity to plead with him, and I can also please him. It's a win-win situation."
