God's imitator

Chapter 149 Betrayal
Based on a 2:1:1 ratio, each ordinary player can obtain more than 8 wealth points, and if they bring half of that back to the community, that's more than 4.

This has already exceeded the average revenue of a typical game.

The key is that this game is not difficult after reaching a cooperation agreement, and there is not much risk involved, so the 4 is far more worthwhile than the visa time earned in those dangerous trial games.

The wealthy players can each bring back over 8 visa hours to the community, a number many players have never seen in a single game.

But there's no use in being envious; that's just how the game works. Their chaebol status was something they earned through deception.

However, just as players in communities 12 and 17 were preparing to head to the work area, a new announcement came over the loudspeaker.

[A player has proposed changing the tax rate. All management players are requested to go to the administration office immediately to vote.]

The motion has received two "yes" votes, exceeding the majority, and will take effect immediately.

The current wage tax rate for ordinary citizens is 70%.

The current investment tax for ordinary citizens is adjusted to 70%.

At this moment, the players from Community 12 and Community 17 were in the work area, preparing to continue this round of work.

Fan Zehui's face showed a shocked expression, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

他预想到了第4社区不太可能就这么大方地维持2:1:1到游戏结束，但也没想到游戏才刚进行到第10轮，他们就急不可耐地变卦了。

They could have waited a few more rounds to increase their total wealth.

But there are still 10 rounds left in the game, and the civilians in the 12th and 17th communities will most likely unite to resist.

What makes Community 4 so certain? There must be some special reason...

Seeing Han Mengying approach, Fan Zehui clenched his fist.

He knew that there was only one way to protect his interests.

That means lying down with the people of Community 17 and giving up job opportunities.

In this way, the total wealth will shrink by 20% in each round, and soon the total wealth will no longer meet the target.

"let's go."

Fan Zehui didn't say much to Han Mengying. He already understood that since the Fourth Community had broken its promise and was going to take away most of the common people's benefits through taxes, he had to show them his determination to lose both sides.

Lin Sizhi didn't say anything, but simply told the other three people to leave.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Han Mengying smiled and said, "Great, there are only 3 slots left. First come, first served, or you'll miss out."

Fan Zehui was stunned for a moment. He looked at the three people from his own community in shock, only to find that they were just as confused as he was.

On the contrary, Luo Wei from Community 17 stood in front of one of the "Earnings" buttons.

再加上第4社区原本的4人，8个位置已经占了5个，还剩3个空位。

Fan Zehui looked at Lin Sizhi in disbelief. He hadn't expected that it was actually the people from the 17th Community who had been turned.
How is this possible?
Lin Sizhi's expression remained calm, making it impossible to discern his inner thoughts, but the current situation seemed somewhat hopeless no matter how you looked at it.

Regardless of the reason, Han Mengying succeeded.

She poached Rowe from Community 17 and recreated the prisoner's dilemma.

Han Mengying looked at Lin Sizhi: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your explanation. It has taught me about the 'Happy People Avoidance Principle'."

"But now, some of you seem to be happy too."

Even Fan Zehui could see that the situation was different now than it had been initially.

At the beginning, the total wealth was far from 50, which meant that everyone's income was uncertain.

In that situation, ordinary players can be said to have nothing, so their determination to lose is the strongest.

But the situation is different now. The total wealth is about to reach 50, which means that as long as the game can be completed smoothly, each ordinary player can bring back more than 15000 visa time and will not have 5 deducted.

If players choose to lie down and fight, everyone's wealth will shrink, and ordinary players will definitely have 5 deducted.

Originally, those who had nothing to lose were not afraid of those who had something to wear, but now both sides are wearing shoes. Although the tycoons are wearing leather shoes and the common people are wearing straw sandals, the common people can easily withdraw from the game by making a slight compromise. This kind of wishful thinking will seriously weaken their determination to lose as a whole.

Moreover, some of the wealthy players had already accumulated 10 in wealth by this time, and they could choose to "leave the country" to preserve their existing wealth.

In other words, the chaebol players now have the option to both attack and defend.

If the average player compromises, they can continue to make money in the next 10 rounds of the game and take away the vast majority of the profits.

Alternatively, if ordinary players do not compromise, they can choose to leave the country while retaining their existing visa validity period.

The initiative is now entirely in the hands of the chaebols.

To make matters worse, Luo Wei betrayed them.

This not only sets a bad example, but also means that even if the wealthy players leave the country, ordinary players will not be able to gather 8 people to press the button, which will inevitably trigger a reduction in wealth.

Qin Yao's face was also filled with shock as she looked at Luo Wei: "Why!"

She was very welcoming to Luo Wei, the new member, and gave her plenty of trust.

Moreover, in all the games so far, there has never been a case of betrayal in the 17th Community; Luo Wei is the first.

This also made Qin Yao feel incredulous.

Isn't Community 17 strong enough? Aren't the benefits good enough? Why insist on going to Community 4?

Luo Wei sighed: "I'm sorry."

“I know this is hard for you to accept, and what you think is your business, but I also have my own considerations.”

"The new world is a place fraught with danger, and I must consider choosing the safest, strongest, and most suitable community."

"Qin Yao, the 17th Community may be good for someone like you, but it's not good for me."

"Because of the dual conflict between ideals and interests."

Luo Wei paused slightly before continuing her explanation:
“I have been observing the ecosystem of Community 17 since the day I entered it, and I have been making contact with some players in a purposeful way.”

"Then I regret to discover that there was actually a very stable group of five people in this community, and men were absolutely dominant."

"This means I won't be able to get into management, and I'll most likely be the one being oppressed."

"The structure of this community is very stable, but precisely because of this, even if I consider joining forces with Wang Yongxin, Yang Yuting and others to try to establish a second core, there is no chance of success."

"More importantly, I do not agree with the ideas of Community 17."

"The new world is a place where the fittest survive, and those who can crack the game should rightfully gain political status far exceeding that of ordinary people."

"As for the weak, they should be eliminated."

"But this is not the case in Community 17. You have passed a number of bills to protect the vulnerable, which has led to these vulnerable people staying in the community and not being cleared out, which will seriously increase the risks in the future."

"Teaming up with Attorney Lin this time was pretty good, but next time I might team up with some other idiots in the community and die in the game."

"I don't want to take that risk."

"Smart people only filter, they don't change."

"Obviously, I can't change the ecosystem of Community 17, so I have no choice but to move to another place."

"Sorry."
