Chapter 190

The Floor Distribution Ceremony was held in the square where regular gatherings took place.

All the authorities sat on the elevated platform, while the inmates of the Newcomer Building were arranged in ten columns, sorted by name, with thirty people in each column.

Looking around, there was a distinct feeling of being at a school sports meet.

This was the first time in many years that the survival rate in the split building battle was so high, and the warden felt a headache at the sight of so many people to be assigned.

The workload was significant, and the warden didn't trust the assistant enough to delegate the task. They really wanted to change assistants, but unfortunately, they couldn't find anyone.

Previously, the Floor Distribution Ceremony only required the participation of the authorities and the inmates who passed the split building battle; the total would not exceed 30 people.

But this year, not only did the number of inmates requiring assignment in the split building battle increase, but there was also another issue. Shen Yue, as the sole victor, expressed the desire to become an authority in Building 7.

Originally, the winners had the right to choose their destination, but Shen Yue's victory was too impressive. Some wealthy individuals even spent a lot of money supporting Shen Yue to become an authority, which made the prison consider whether Shen Yue becoming an authority would bring more benefits to the prison.

Due to various reasons, today's event became different. Not only did the inmates from the Newcomer Building attend, but also the troublesome group of geniuses from Building 7.

One item on the agenda of the Floor Distribution Ceremony was a vote by all members of Building 7 to choose an authority.

They could vote for themselves, the previous authorities, or Shen Yue.

"Congratulations to all of you for overcoming your pain and not going to meet Jesus. Everyone has probably seen the result of the split building battle. This is the first time in the history of the battle that there is a sole victor. Considering this uniqueness, the higher-ups have decided, after careful consideration, to fulfill the conditions proposed by the winner and hold a re-election for the authority of Building 7 today.

I won't waste any more words. Now, the people from Building 7 will come up one by one and give me your votes."

There weren't many people in Building 7, just over 50. However, these 50 people were even more difficult to manage than an ordinary group of 100.

Among these 50 people, some had absolute resistance to drugs and often treated poisonous substances as snacks. If you came into contact with them, you might accidentally be persuaded to consume a mouthful of poison. Some had extraordinary lock-picking and evasion skills, always managing to find blind spots and effortlessly unlock others' doors.

There were also those who had the ability to digitize everything. To them, different people were represented by different data, and they could predict a person's next move based on changes in the data.

And there were those with incredibly immense strength, and so on.

These individuals with extreme talents never accepted defeat, let alone obeyed others, but they would remain loyal to themselves.

After two people finished voting, they walked past Shen Yue and casually said, "Did you vote for Shen Yue?"

"Yes, the person from Building 4 said that if Shen Yue becomes an authority, they won't bother me anymore, and I think that's great."

"I think the same way. It should be interesting if Shen Yue becomes an authority, and we can also get rid of Building 4."

The voices grew fainter as they walked away, but Shen Yue had already understood Tang Yi's intentions.

Tang Yi wasn't someone who did good deeds without leaving a name. If he did something, he would expect compensation. Just now, he was hinting at wanting something in return from her.

Shen Yue looked at the votes on the stage and suddenly felt that everything was meaningless because she had already found her answer. Even if she became the person in power, it would only be a continuous validation of her correctness.

Soon, the warden finished tallying the results and he glanced slightly at the numbers in his hand.

Although he had anticipated that many people would vote for Shen Yue, the actual data still startled him.

What is this? Is it the attraction between two lunatics?

The warden picked up the microphone and announced the result directly, "Shen Yue received 42 votes. From today onwards, Shen Yue is the person in power of Building 7. The rest of the newcomers, step forward one by one. Whichever building picks you, go to that building."

Shen Yue stepped up to take her place in Building 7, and Haisi, the unfortunate person who was just replaced by Shen Yue and was the person in power of Building 7 a second ago, went down.

However, even though he was publicly replaced, Haisi didn't seem to hold any grudges. He gracefully descended from the stage and stood together with the other inmates from Building 7.

He seemed to have accepted this outcome long ago.

Next was the process of assigning different inmates to different floors.

Shen Yue selected Mo Aman, who would go to Building 14, and Danni La to join her in Building 7. She also chose people she believed had talent to control the other inmates in Building 7.

The remaining inmates, whom Shen Yue didn't speak for, mostly went to Building 5.

After all, no person in power would willingly accept other person in power's subordinates into their own building. Si Chengyou was an exception. No one knew what he was thinking.

In the end, Tang Yi also chose two people, and the floor distribution ceremony concluded in this manner.

Shen Yue selected 58 people, while Tang Yi chose two. The remaining inmates went to Building 5.

After the meeting dispersed, Shen Yue walked ahead, and Si Chengyou seemed to want to say something but was interrupted by Tang Yi, who approached them directly.

Tang Yi leaned on Shen Yue like he had no bones, and surprisingly, Shen Yue didn't refuse. Instead, she turned her head and whispered to Tang Yi as if it had become a common occurrence, "What's the matter?"

"I helped you become the person in power. Praise me," Tang Yi said.

Shen Yue nodded expressionlessly and said, "Hmm, you're amazing."

Tang Yi fell for it and not only didn't get angry but continued to ask, "Then will you accompany me on a task today?"

"Not today. I need to make arrangements for Building 7 first."

Tang Yi sighed while leaning on Shen Yue's shoulder and whined, "Have you abandoned me? Do you not want me now that you've become the person in power? I'm so pitiful~"

"Stop messing around. I'll be with you tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Really."

"That's great! Then have lunch with me today." "Okay."

The two of them harmoniously exchanged questions and answers, completely ignoring everyone else as they left.

Si Chengyou had originally wanted to leave but was unexpectedly stopped by someone.

"Si Chengyou, are you just going to watch them get close to each other?" The person who spoke was from Building 14. Although he disliked Si Chengyou, he disliked Tang Yi even more. He felt that Shen Yue and Tang Yi being together had become increasingly strange.

If that was the case, Shen Yue might as well have chosen Si Chengyou.

Upon hearing the words of Number 14, Si Chengyou didn't give a direct reply, but simply said, "All you need to do is trust your master; she's not foolish."

Having said that, Si Chengyou left.

After hearing Si Chengyou's words, Number 14's expression changed slightly. Could it be...?
