God's imitator

Chapter 147 Luo Wei's Mission

Given that a preliminary cooperation agreement has already been reached, it is pointless to nitpick over such trivial details.

Han Mengying was worried that the 17th Community might try something funny, but she couldn't think of any specific possibilities. Since that was the case, restricting the key personnel involved in this plan would also have some effect.

She knew, of course, that Qin Yao was essentially Lin Sizhi's puppet and would inevitably carry out the group decisions of the 17th Community diligently. However, as a core member of this plan, if "Finance" did not possess a strong mind and mental fortitude, she was likely to expose flaws once she began to execute complex plans.

It's much safer to have Qin Yao as the accountant than for Lin Sizhi to do it herself.

But since Han Mengying has appointed the 'treasurer' of the 17th community, she herself can no longer serve as the treasurer of the 4th community.

Cai Zhiyuan pointed to the person who had the least presence in the 4th community so far, a male player who looked dull and wooden, Sun De.

"We choose him."

Han Mengying nodded readily: "Okay, no problem."

Then, she and Cai Zhiyuan looked towards the 12th community.

Fan Zehui consciously stepped aside, clearly indicating that he would absolutely not be chosen under these circumstances.

Cai Zhiyuan glanced at the remaining three people, his expression somewhat hesitant.

Indeed, all three of them are weaklings, and it would be difficult to choose the weakest one.

Han Mengying pointed to Zhou Rong: "Let's go with this little sister."

Cai Zhiyuan immediately shook his head: "No, I choose this auntie."

Han Mengying asked, "Is there a difference?"

Cai Zhiyuan looked at her and said, "If there's no difference, I'll still choose Auntie. But if it makes a difference to you, I'll definitely choose Auntie."

Han Mengying sighed helplessly, "Fine, then let's choose Aunt Zhou as the accountant. There really isn't much difference."

Zhou Guifen's reaction was similar to Qin Yao's; she also looked completely bewildered.

She never expected that someone who was just there for the ride would be assigned such an important task.

However, the task was not complicated. As Han Mengying said, even a less intelligent person could handle it, so Zhou Guifen agreed.

After the finances of the three communities were allocated, everyone no longer needed to worry about any infighting and could focus entirely on making money through the game mechanics.

……

Soon, players in Community 17 also began to reach the investment threshold of 1 wealth points.

Lin Sizhi came out of the notary office and put the investment vouchers she had just received into her pocket.

The investment certificate contains very detailed information, including the names of the investor and the investee, the specific round in which the investment returns are generated, and the investment plan (i.e., who specifically receives the investment returns).

This is clearly intended to better remind players.

If it's not written down, when players have a lot of investment vouchers, it's hard for them to remember exactly which round of the game a particular voucher should be redeemed in.

As the game progresses, many people have accumulated more than 1 days of visa validity, and they are increasingly going to the notary office to exchange their investment vouchers.

After each round of the game begins, the three communities must calculate each other's wealth share and also consider investments within or between communities. This calculation is quite extensive and mentally taxing.

In particular, we should try our best to avoid situations where the investment returns in this round of the game exceed the upper limit.

Once the investment returns approach the upper limit of 13, there may be losses or even refusal when redeeming the investment vouchers at the notary office.

For example, if the current investment returns have already been redeemed 7 times, totaling 126000, then when you try to redeem them again, you can only redeem the remaining 4000. After that, you can't redeem any more; the investment voucher will be rejected outright. And when you try to redeem them again in the next round, the investment voucher will have expired, and the returns will shrink to 2000.

This is a very painful loss, so everyone will try their best to avoid this situation from happening.

If the maximum investment return is 12, it can be roughly allocated according to a 2:1:1 ratio, which will save a lot of calculations.

However, the sum of 13 is too large to be divided equally, which necessitates frequent adjustments between communities based on the proportion of wealth, further increasing the difficulty.

"Luo Wei, go and help with the calculations at the 4th community," Cai Zhiyuan said to Luo Wei, who had just come out of the notary office.

Luo Wei was taken aback: "Huh? Why?"

Cai Zhiyuan lowered his voice: "We need to have a better grasp of the wealth situation in the 4th community. If Attorney Lin and I go there, it will seem too deliberate."

Qin Yao is in charge of "finance" and doesn't have time.

"If you go to help, they will most likely accept it."

Luo Wei hesitated for a moment: "But what about the calculations for the 12th community and our community?"

Cai Zhiyuan reassured him, "Don't worry, these calculations aren't complicated, and Attorney Lin and I are capable of completing them."

Luo Wei glanced over and saw Lin Sizhi explaining something to Zhou Guifen near the work button in Community 12.

Zhou Guifen nodded repeatedly, it was unclear whether she understood or not, but she did exactly as Lin Sizhi asked.

Clearly, because Lin Sizhi was too clever, players from other communities naturally kept their distance from him, fearing they would be deceived.

Only players like Zhou Guifen could talk to him for more than a few minutes.

Luo Wei considered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go check out the 4th community."

"Do you need me to carry out a defection mission or something similar?"

Cai Zhiyuan shook his head and continued in a low voice, "Our community will never kick anyone out, so we can't use the poaching rule and don't need to consider turning people against us."

"You should mainly observe the ecosystem of the 4th community, understand the personality traits and the way power is distributed among these people, which may help you find a breakthrough for subsequent strategies."

"Of course, it's okay if we can't find it, we can think of other ways."

Luo Wei frowned: "Isn't it a bit late to start observing the players of the 4th Community and looking for a breakthrough now?"
"At the current pace, if we all work together to achieve optimal efficiency, our total wealth will soon reach 50."

"The Fourth Community might change its mind then, so we should prepare for the worst, right?"

Cai Zhiyuan sighed softly: "There's nothing we can do. Attorney Lin and I have studied the rules many times, but this game is not a fair competition."

"As an ordinary player, the best outcome is to achieve Nash equilibrium through a lose-lose deterrent strategy and take away a quarter of the profits when leaving the game."

"No matter how good the strategy is, it cannot be implemented without the support of the rules of the game."

Luo Wei asked somewhat uneasily, "Are you really sure you'll take away a quarter of the profits?"

Cai Zhiyuan nodded: "It should be possible."

Luo Wei wanted to say something more, but ultimately swallowed it back.

"Okay, I will go there next time the fourth community's wealth share exceeds 50%, ask them for investment, and at the same time ask if they need help with the calculations. I will also take the opportunity to observe the three players other than Han Mengying."
