Chapter 231 The Most Urgently Needed Profession

The next second, Zheng Jie realized that he was back in the community lobby.

It was Fu Chen who was the first to count the number of people.

"One, two, three, four... Hey, Attorney Lin really brought back a new member!"

Fu Chen's slightly surprised voice rang out, and the other players in the hall also gathered around.

Lin Sizhi explained, "Well, there just happened to be a suitable candidate in the game, so we poached him."

"After careful consideration, I realized that her profession is indeed the most scarce and most urgently needed in our community."

Li Renshu was somewhat surprised: "Oh? The rarest and most urgently needed profession?"

This puzzled her a little.

While people do have strong preferences for new recruits, such as mechanics, architects, chefs, and special forces soldiers, these are only relatively needed.

It's not particularly scarce or urgently needed, is it?
There doesn't seem to be a particular priority among the many professions.

Lin Sizhi looked at "Sheep". She no longer wore a mask and was a woman in her thirties with shoulder-length short hair, exuding an intellectual air.

"Come say hello to everyone."

"Sheep" said, "Hello everyone, my name is Wei Yinzhang, and I am a copycat."

Lee In-sook was stunned: "Huh?"

The others were also momentarily stunned. Wang Yongxin, who was sitting to the side observing Wei Yinzhang, stared wide-eyed. Luckily, he wasn't drinking coffee, or he would have definitely spat it out.

"A copycat?!"

Everyone in the hall who wasn't participating in the game gasped in surprise.

Li Renshu was one of the first to regain her composure. She nodded and said, "I see. So the rarest and most urgently needed profession that Attorney Lin mentioned is copycat?"
"That makes a lot of sense."

Everyone else understood why Lin Sizhi said that.

Because there are no copycats in the community who have revealed their identities, so far, the 17th community has not only been exposed to game content in advance, but even the rules related to copycats can only be guessed.

Moreover, even if you guess roughly, you can't verify it.

This information gap will put the 17th community at a disadvantage in many situations.

But now, with copycats, this information gap can be filled.

It doesn't matter if this copycat doesn't run a shady business like Zhong Yuanyuan.

She only needs to reveal the theme of the game and whether anyone from her community has been selected to participate in the trial game; this can be very helpful.

Therefore, the most scarce profession in Community 17 is indeed copycat, and there is absolutely no problem with that statement.

This possibility hadn't been discussed before, mainly because finding copycats in games is too difficult, like buying a lottery ticket.

Not to mention that most copycats can choose not to enter their own games, even if they do, finding them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As it turned out, Lin Sizhi actually managed to snag one.

Everyone couldn't help but look forward to the debriefing session even more.

In the past, the debriefings involved everyone as players guessing the copycat's intentions, but this time we can hear the copycat himself.

From the specific content of the arcade invitation to the design concept and various details in the game, no one is more authoritative than the designer himself.

Of course, judging from the previous "matchmaking game" situation, if copycats get too close to players, especially if they reveal their own identities, it may attract the attention of the arcade.

Therefore, most people don't insist on it too much.

How much Wei Yinzhang is willing to reveal to everyone is entirely up to her.

Regardless, having a clearly identified copycat in the community will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the future of the entire 17th community, and may even change the current landscape. The results of this game have already been displayed on the big screen.

[The final visa processing times for Community 17 in the "April Fool's Game" are now being announced.]

【Guard No. 2's badge number: -314598】

[Qin Yao #7: 38761]

[Zheng Jie, No. 10: 41839]

[Lin Sizhi, No. 12: 77293]

According to community rules, 5% of a player's visa validity period exceeding 2 minutes will be contributed to the community support fund. Remaining visa validity will be counted towards each player's visa.

Upon seeing this result, Fu Chen was visibly taken aback.

"Huh? I just noticed, why is there a minus sign?"

Everyone looked at the big screen and discovered that Wei Yinzhang's earnings were indeed negative.

This is the first time such a situation has occurred in the entire 17th community; previously, the numbers were either positive or people were being deported.

This is quite normal, because most games' penalties are basically simple and brutal instant death, and there are relatively few games that deduct a lot of visa time. Players in Community 17 have not encountered that situation yet.

Especially since everyone already knows that Wei Yinzhang is the copycat who designed this game.

How come a copycat gets so many points deducted when he's on his home court? That doesn't seem right.

Lee In-sook said, "Everyone, please go back to your rooms and rest first. We'll do a debriefing this afternoon."

……

in the afternoon.

After resting, everyone returned to the hall to prepare for the game review.

Lee In-sook said, "Before we begin the game recap, on behalf of all the players in Community 17, I would like to welcome the new members."

She looked at Wei Yinzhang: "Lawyer Lin is the only person in our community who has the power to poach players within the game, so his decision represents the collective decision of all of us."

"His philosophy also represents the philosophy of our 17th Community."

"So you can rest assured that all members of Community 17 will accept you without any reservations."

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "Thank you."

Lee In-sook continued, "However, before we begin the game replay, I think we need to discuss some more important issues that everyone is more concerned about."

"Could you first briefly introduce yourself, including why you chose to leave your original community, and how your life as a copycat differs from that of a regular player in the community?"
"Because our community has never had copycat offenders before, we are basically unaware of these situations. We need to clarify these things first to get to the main point."

"Of course, if you feel that there are some things that are inconvenient to disclose, that's fine too. Just talk about the parts that you think you can talk about."

Clearly, even people recruited by Lin Sizhi still need to undergo a basic background check.

Li Renshu's behavior wasn't necessarily due to distrust, but rather a necessary procedure that she, as a community manager, had to follow.

This is something that other members of the community also want to know.

Wei Yinzhang didn't mind. For her, even if Li Renshu didn't ask, these things still needed to be explained as clearly as possible to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

"I am 32 years old this year. I used to be a freelancer, specifically... a cartoonist who wasn't very famous."

"The three cards in 'Fool's Game' were designed by myself. Not bad, right?"
"The community I used to live in was Community No. 6."

"The reasons for my decision to leave Community 6 during the game are quite complicated, so let me start from the beginning."
