God's imitator

Chapter 170 Voting
Lee In-sook looked at everyone and said, "Actually, we've discussed it enough. Let's just vote."

"Should we hold a vote by showing hands, or should we use a secret ballot in the community?"

Everyone said, "A show of hands will suffice."

Many people already have the answer in their hearts, and this is not something that will offend anyone, so there is no need to hold a secret ballot.

Li Renshu nodded: "Okay, then those who want to choose Fu Chen, please raise your hands."

She raised her hand first, then looked around and found that three other people had raised their hands besides herself: Wang Yongxin, Yang Yuting, and Zheng Jie.

"Who's choosing Officer Cao?"

No one raised their hands.

Of course, this does not mean that most people do not approve of Cao Haichuan; it's just that Cao Haichuan does not have any particularly outstanding characteristics compared to the other two candidates.

Who will choose me?

Lee In-sook looked at the crowd and found that five people had raised their hands.

They are Jiang He, Cai Zhiyuan, Fu Chen, Xu Tong, and Zhou Guifen.

Those who did not raise their hands three times naturally abstained.

Li Renshu and Fu Chen were essentially voting for each other, but in the end, Li Renshu still got one more vote.

Judging from the suddenness of the voting process and the discussion, this vote was definitely not organized or discussed in advance; everyone voted based on their first instinct.

This result may also have some element of chance.

Lee In-sook hesitated for a moment: "We're only one vote short. Should we force everyone to vote again?"

Fu Chen shook his head: "No need, I think it's fine for you to manage the immunity certificate, I trust you."

Since Fu Chen himself has already made this statement, it's not appropriate for others to continue insisting.

Lee In-sook thought about it seriously: "Alright, if everyone really wants me to keep this immunity certificate, then I also need to explain to everyone the purpose of my use of this certificate."

"If everyone doesn't agree, then replace him right now."

"My principle is that when using the 'immunity ticket' to save people, I do not distinguish between the strong and the weak. Whoever faces a clear risk of death first will be the one to receive the ticket."

"Of course, during the month after the 'immunity ticket' is used up, everyone can reduce the risk of death by participating in fewer games and adopting a more conservative game strategy."

"When two people are facing the risk of death at the same time, and only one can be saved, I will choose to save the person who is more important to the community and contributes more."

"Besides that, there are some specific situations in which I will not provide assistance."

"If this person undermines the stability and unity of the community to some extent, acts unilaterally in the game and fails to follow team strategies, putting themselves in danger, or commits clear acts of betrayal in the game, I will not save them."

Everyone nodded in agreement: "Yes, that makes sense."

These situations where "no rescue" is given certainly involve some subjective judgment.

For example, what actions constitute disrupting community stability and unity? How is acting unilaterally and failing to implement team strategies determined? What constitutes clear acts of betrayal?
There is a certain degree of ambiguity in all of this.

If Lee In-sook wanted to, she could either let bygones be bygones or make a mountain out of a molehill.

Just like proposing a bill: the space for ambiguity is precisely the manifestation of power.

But there's nothing that can be done about it, because this kind of subjective judgment is precisely why everyone chooses someone to manage this immunity certificate; it's unavoidable.

With no objections, Lee In-sook was chosen as the person in charge of using the pardon.

Li Renshu looked at Wang Yongxin again: "Then, of the two veto rights, one of them should definitely go to Brother Wang, since Brother Wang paid for one-third of the money for this voucher."

"As for the other vote, it should undoubtedly go to Attorney Lin, but Attorney Lin doesn't want it. Does anyone have any other candidates?"

After Li Renshu obtained the right to use the pardon, power was actually further concentrated. Of course, judging from Li Renshu's reaction, she seemed to prefer that Fu Chen manage the pardon and did not want too much power to be concentrated in her own hands, which might make her feel somewhat overwhelmed.

But there's nothing we can do; since it was decided by vote, we can only accept the result.

In this situation, the veto power must be given to Wang Yongxin, regardless of the reason.

But the choice of the other vote became a problem.

Lin Sizhi was originally the best candidate, but he didn't want him.

Although many people, including Wang Yongxin, voted for Fu Chen, they preferred to grant Fu Chen the right to use the product rather than the right to veto it.

Moreover, even if Fu Chen were given veto power, it would be meaningless, as someone with Fu Chen's personality would most likely not use this power.

Giving the veto power to Cao Haichuan or Cai Zhiyuan would lead to a greater concentration of power.

Li Renshu looked at Lin Sizhi: "Attorney Lin, if you don't want the veto power, you can appoint someone yourself, or give me a suggestion."

After a moment's thought, Lin Sizhi said, "Then let's leave it to Qin Yao."

Qin Yao: "Huh? Me?"

Li Renshu thought for a moment and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, not bad, then it'll be Qin Yao."

With Qin Yao looking completely bewildered, the matter was settled.

These two veto powers represent the interests of different groups outside the five-person group.

Wang Yongxin's veto power represented not only himself, but also Yang Yuting and Xu Tong, two people he was close to, as well as those who earned more time for visa applications.

At this point, what's missing is someone to represent the weak.

Qin Yao, Zhou Guifen, Zheng Jie, and other relatively vulnerable individuals who need care are also part of the community. Together, they hold a veto vote representing the vulnerable, which can also play a certain role in checks and balances.

Jiang He was also very happy with the result.

"Perfect result! Shall we go vote now?"

Two of the three people who held the immunity certificate were women, which was a very welcome outcome for Jiang He, even though she wasn't one of them.

Soon, the group passed the resolution by vote, and then spent 30 minutes of visa time from the luxury goods fund to purchase a get-out-of-jail-free card.

This voucher has no physical form and is very convenient to use: Li Renshu can say "use voucher for immunity" to a community player at any time and in any place, and it will take effect after a verbal confirmation.

It's impossible to use it secretly, as all players can check the usage history of this coupon.

If the public is dissatisfied with the choice of who will be in charge of the death exemption certificate, they can change it through a resolution.

Using this voucher grants her considerable power, but Lee In-sook must exercise caution, as misuse could bankrupt all the political prestige she has painstakingly built up, causing her to completely lose all the power she previously possessed.

……

Afterwards, everyone worked together to compile a spending list for the luxury goods fund.

This includes the cost of tonight's dinner, which, in addition to the sumptuous meal, also included the high-end red wine and champagne that Wang Yongxin had been longing for.

In addition, each person was allocated a certain amount of money for purchasing based on their specific needs. For example, Cao Haichuan bought some good cigarettes, Yang Yuting bought some cosmetics that she had previously been reluctant to buy, Cai Zhiyuan bought two sets of high-end sportswear, and Zheng Jie bought two relatively expensive tea cakes.

In short, most people bought some things they wouldn't normally buy.

In fact, without the immunity coupons, people might have spent even more lavishly.

However, considering that they had already spent 30 on the "get out of jail free" visa, everyone toned it down and ended up spending just over 2 on visa processing time.

After that, everyone began preparing dinner with great enthusiasm.

　It's almost the end of the month, please vote with your monthly tickets!
