God's imitator

Chapter 155 Kill them all

Han Mengying looked at the sign that read "Total Wealth Value," and sure enough, the numbers on it had changed.

[Current total wealth: 262146 minutes of visa processing time]

Of the seven people currently remaining in the arena, four are ordinary players with over 50,000 time remaining, while only one person from the tycoon side has over 40,000 time left. This is their total wealth.

All the other wealth was taken away by the five people who left the country.

The other four ordinary players also looked just as confused as Han Mengying.

If these four civilian players knew that these people wanted to run away, they would definitely try their best to stop them.

As long as they have votes in management, they will definitely oppose it.

但问题在于，林思之选择了一个特殊的节点：在第16轮游戏，玩家们的年龄构成是：5幼年、3青年、1壮年、3老年。

Among them, only one senior player can enter the management team, and Lin Sizhi is undoubtedly the highest in terms of wealth ranking.

There was only one adult player.

In this situation, Lin Sizhi could change the tax rate at will, and no matter how he changed it, it would definitely be approved.

For Sun De, at the end of this round of the game, he will be reborn as a child, and all his wealth will be taken away by a 100% inheritance tax.

Now, Lin Sizhi chose to run away at the last moment before the end of the 16th round of the game, and adjusted the departure tax of the conglomerate to 0%, leaving him about 30 seconds.

How could Sun De not run? Of course he would run for his life.

The eight buttons in the work area need to be occupied and used by eight players; otherwise, the penalty rule of "wealth reduction" will be triggered, and the wealth of everyone in the room will be reduced by 20%.

If there aren't enough participants in each subsequent round, then the number of participants will continue to decrease in each round.

There are currently 4 rounds left in the game. The remaining players can choose to endure the shrinking wealth and continue to earn money to reduce their losses.

But no matter how hard they struggle, it's impossible to reach 50; in the end, they can only bring out '10%', and it's impossible to reach 1.

This will trigger an additional penalty of deducting 5 minutes.

The most crucial point is that if only one of these two punishment mechanisms were in effect, the situation wouldn't be so dire.

For example, if Sun De hadn't left, even if he were penniless, the situation wouldn't have become so bad.

Since there are still 8 people in the area, enough to fill all 4 sets of buttons without triggering the wealth reduction, these four rounds of the game are still enough to earn back the total wealth of 50.

But Sun De's departure left the remaining seven people completely trapped and dying there.

……

Luo Wei panicked. As a new player, her initial visa period was only about a month, and it would definitely be used up.

She rushed to the entrance to the safe zone for departure, but because she did not have enough time for her visa, she could not pass through the gate.

"Attorney Lin, didn't you agree that I should go back to the community? Shouldn't you take me with you when you leave?"

Lin Sizhi looked at her with a half-smile: "Am I really that good at acting?"

"Could it have even given you the illusion that I would be forgiving enough to forgive a betrayer?"

Luo Wei's face turned deathly pale instantly. Clearly, all the promises Lin Sizhi had made to her were lies.

From the very beginning, Lin Sizhi never intended for her to return to the 17th Community.

Betrayal, once it happens, will happen again; how can it truly be forgiven? As for why he lied to her, the reason is simple:
The game had reached round 12, so the "wealth reduction" penalty mechanism had been activated.

If Luo Wei refuses to use the work button, along with the four chaebol players, Lin Sizhi's side will not have enough people (8 in total), which will lead to a reduction in wealth.

In that case, there is still a possibility of a lose-lose situation, and Lin Sizhi and others would not be able to successfully take away so much visa time.

If you give Luo Wei a little hope, she will cooperate obediently.

In fact, given Luo Wei's intelligence, she should have been able to anticipate the possibility of being deceived. But in dire straits, when grasping at a possible lifeline, people subconsciously deceive themselves.

Of course, even if Luo Wei really doesn't cooperate, Lin Sizhi has other alternatives, such as trying to cooperate with Sun De, which can also avoid shrinking his wealth.

But that would be a bit inelegant.

Luo Wei felt her hands and feet were ice cold. She looked helplessly at Qin Yao and Cai Zhiyuan, still holding onto a sliver of hope that the two of them could say a few good words for her.

There might still be a chance to salvage the situation.

After all, as an actuary, she is more valuable to the community than Zhou Guifen, this old lady.

If the three men are willing to take her back, she will receive an interest-free loan upon returning to the community, and she can still survive.

However, Cai Zhiyuan's words ruthlessly shattered her illusions.

"Don't you understand yet?"
"It's not just you who's examining Community 17; Community 17 is also examining you."

"Do you think your little tricks can fool anyone?"
"You are dissatisfied with your inability to integrate into the management of Community 17, and similarly, the management of Community 17 is also considering what kind of position they should give you."

"If you are loyal enough, share our ideals, and prove your abilities, we don't mind giving you some say."

Why do you think I would let you make contact with the 4th Community?

"On the one hand, it's to carry out a secret plan behind your back, so that you and Han Mengying can take up each other's thinking time, thus providing cover for the plan;

"On the other hand, it is also to create conditions for the 4th community to poach people, to see if you will have the idea of ​​betrayal."

"You're a new member, so Attorney Lin and I don't mind helping you win without lifting a finger. Actually, you don't need to do anything. Just follow the group's decisions and resist the temptations from other communities, and we can help you complete this game smoothly."

"Or, if you can see through my and Attorney Lin's plans, or even propose an improvement, we will also raise your evaluation."

"But unfortunately, you failed even the simplest test."

"Sometimes, the more clearly a person calculates, the lower their threshold for betrayal becomes."

"Of course, what truly disappointed us was not entirely your betrayal, nor entirely your stupidity, but your arrogance."

"You arrogantly believe that you are superior to the so-called 'burden,' arrogantly believe that you are entitled to a greater voice, and arrogantly believe that you are powerful enough to have the privilege of freely choosing your community."

"But in this game, how much better was your performance than those 'burdens' you mentioned?"
“At least I can be sure that any of the ‘burden’ you’re talking about would be standing with us with 100,000 minutes of visa time by now, instead of standing on the opposite side of us like you are.”

Cai Zhiyuan paused slightly before continuing, "I don't know how long you'll survive in the 4th Community, but anyway, let me give you a little piece of advice."

“In the new world, fools may die, stubborns may die, disloyal people may die, any kind of person may die, but none of these are absolutes, and under certain circumstances, these people can also live a long time.”

"There is only one type of person who will definitely die, and they will die the fastest."

"Arrogant people do not deserve to live in the new world."
