God's imitator

Chapter 166 The Pardon

Lee In-sook wasn't too surprised, as this number was within her expectations.

From Wang Yongxin's perspective, this is indeed the best choice.

To date, Wang Yongxin has earned nearly 40 visa hours from the game.

Of course, we need to consider deducting community minimum living allowance, various miscellaneous daily expenses, and the portion that naturally depletes over time.

But no matter what, it's still over 300,000.

Although the fund is called a luxury goods consumption fund, Wang Yongxin's actions at this time were not consumption, but investment.

For business people, investment is absolutely essential.

Although Wang Yongxin was the first to propose this plan, if he only donated 50,000 yuan and others contributed 20,000 or 30,000 yuan each, then most of the favor would fall on Li Renshu.

After all, Lee In-sook was the one who actually drafted and promoted this bill.

Therefore, Wang Yongxin must be the first to donate, and he must donate a figure that will shock everyone in order to achieve the desired effect.

When it comes to using money to win people's hearts, you either don't do it at all, or you do it thoroughly.

If you're stingy and calculating at times like this, you might as well not donate at all.

If Wang Yongxin only donates around 5 yuan, it will not have the desired effect of shocking others.

After all, everyone made quite a bit of money in the last game.

As for numbers like 6, 7, and 9, they are still single digits. Why not just add a little more to make it 10?

Two-digit numbers are far more impactful than one-digit numbers.

Judging from the reactions of the crowd, his extravagant spending did indeed have an effect.

If even Lee In-sook's small circle can't raise 10 yuan, then the balance of power between the two sides will inevitably undergo some subtle changes.

Li Renshu thought for a moment and said, "I'll donate 2 yuan as a token of my appreciation."

Cao Haichuan also said quite generously, "I will also donate 2 yuan, but I have one request: every time you use this fund, could you please cover my cigarettes?"

Cai Zhiyuan didn't hesitate much: "I'll donate 5."

Fu Chen looked at them in shock: "Wait, what happened to 'donating within your means'? Why are you all getting all involved? Fine, I'll donate 3!"

Cai Zhiyuan looked at him and said, "Do what you can, that's what I meant by 'do what you can't.'"

Fu Chen said somewhat helplessly, "I was planning to donate this much anyway!"

Clearly, these four people donated the maximum amount they could afford, but their reasons differed.

The donations from Li Renshu, Cao Haichuan, and Cai Zhiyuan are more a reflection of the administrators' awareness; since they currently hold most of the power in this community, they must assume more responsibilities.

Even if it hurts to donate, you have to grit your teeth and do it in this situation.

Fu Chen, on the other hand, was different. He didn't have this clear awareness; he was purely there to make a contribution.

Lin Sizhi then said, "Since President Wang donated 100,000, then I will donate 90,000."

The crowd erupted in cheers and exclamations of shock once again.

Wang Yongxin nodded to Lin Sizhi with some gratitude.

He also took a moment to observe Lin Sizhi's expression, seemingly trying to determine whether the donation was Lin Sizhi's own idea or due to the hints and instructions of the other four.

But Lin Sizhi had no expression, and nothing could be discerned from her expression.

Wang Yongxin knew very well that Lin Sizhi could also donate 100,000 yuan. Since he had already donated 90,000 yuan, donating an extra 10,000 yuan would not be a problem.

However, Lin Sizhi deliberately donated only 90,000 yuan, which was actually a case of "a gentleman does not take credit for others' achievements," intentionally leaving the only two-digit donation and the title of "most generous donor" to Wang Yongxin.

Regardless, such enthusiastic donations have indeed allowed this luxury goods fund to accumulate an incredible sum of money in a very short period of time.

It has even made many people question their life choices: Isn't this a bit too wasteful?

But the thought of being able to benefit from this fund without spending any money makes it seem like a really good proposal.

Yang Yuting had been thinking about it for a while and said, "I'll also donate 1. Of course, this 1 should actually be attributed to Brother Wang, since he led me to win in 'The Kingdom of Tycoons'."

Qin Yao said weakly, "Then I will too..." But before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by many people.

"Alright, alright! The saying 'do what you can't' is mainly for people like you!"

"Yes, you should save your visa time and use it slowly."

Everyone repeatedly emphasized that the vulnerable should never donate their limited visa time to this luxury goods fund.

Wang Yongxin and Lin Sizhi donated so much because they earned a lot; this ability is evident to all.

What's wrong with donating 100,000? You can earn it back with just two more games, or even just one if you're lucky.

In this situation, it's certainly a good thing that they are willing to donate.

However, if other vulnerable people in the community also donate, there is a possibility that they will not be able to earn enough time for their visas later. At that time, it will be awkward for others to decide whether to help or not.

Jiang He also happily raised her hand: "I'll donate 5 too!"

Everyone looked at her and remained silent for a moment.

Lee In-sook said half-jokingly, "You think 'doing what you can't do' doesn't apply to you, right?"

However, Jiang He's attitude was much more resolute than Qin Yao's: "It's okay, I've already thought it through, I'll donate 5. I also want to do my part for everyone, and besides, this will also be a kind of encouragement for myself!"

The group exchanged glances but said nothing more.

Since she is willing to donate, that is her freedom. One word of advice is enough; a second word would be a bit impolite.

Zhou Guifen suggested, "Then I'll donate a little too? Just 100 yuan, as a token of my appreciation."

Everyone thought it was a good idea, so Qin Yao, Zhou Guifen, Xu Tong, and Zheng Jie each donated 100 yuan. They were considered relatively protected vulnerable people in the community. Although they could choose not to donate at all, donating a little bit was a good way to make it auspicious.

Soon, everyone had completed their donations.

[Initial 'Community Luxury Fund' balance: 370400.]

Upon seeing this number, everyone exclaimed in admiration.

“What a spendthrift!”

Using so much visa time to buy luxury goods would make other communities want to vomit.

But at that moment, a new notification appeared on the big screen.

[The total value of various community public funds has exceeded 30. The product list in the vending machine has been updated. Please check it yourself.]

Everyone was stunned when they saw this notification.

"Hmm? What an unexpected bonus?"

Lee In-sook carefully read the specific wording of the notice, which stated that the "total value of various public funds" exceeded 30. In other words, the 17th Community's social security fund and luxury fund combined would be sufficient if they reached this amount.

Or if there are other funds, they can be included as well.

However, it must be a fund jointly managed by the community, not the private property of any one person.

People like Lin Sizhi and Wang Yongxin should have had their visas expired long ago, but they didn't receive such a notification.

Everyone rushed to the vending machine to check.

Compared to the previous product list, there are indeed many new items updated, including more types of food, clothing, daily necessities, luxury goods, and medical supplies.

In addition, there was a special product that I had never seen before.

Xu Tong pointed to the isolated entry and exclaimed in surprise, "Look at this!"

[Immunity Certificate]

[After use, it will provide continuous protection to the target player in this community for 24 hours, during which time it can offset one instant death penalty.]

[Price: 30 minutes of visa processing time]

Only one "immunity ticket" can exist in the community at any given time, and it can only be purchased again 30 days after it has been used.

When a community possesses a "immunity ticket," any member within that community deemed high-risk for death in the current game will have their situation displayed live on the large screen.
