Chapter 262 Considerations of Joint Liability
The latest transaction price of the shelter displayed on the big screen is 16 gold coins, which means that there are no shelters listed at this time that are priced below 16 gold coins.

If so, the shelter with the lower price will definitely be sold first.

Clearly, most of the inside players have reached a consensus that these shelters cannot be sold off cheaply.

Of course, the situation is still unclear at this time, and we cannot completely rule out the possibility that some communities will start vicious competition and dump their products.

If there's a sell-off, the transaction price of shelters might decrease.

It all comes down to whether the audience or the players inside the arena can keep their composure.

……

At the same time, Li Renshu once again contacted Zhang Shichao of the 9th community.

The 17th community has already made corresponding divisions of labor and arrangements. Cao Haichuan is most likely to be the culprit in the game, so he should do as little as possible and only be responsible for formulating strategies and assigning them to other players.

The other players are each responsible for only one task.

The responsibility of communicating with other communities naturally fell entirely on Li Renshu's shoulders.

This is safer.

On the one hand, it can reduce the number of people who commit similar crimes. As long as the number is less than 5, only players in the criminal community will be implicated. On the other hand, even if they are implicated, only Li Renshu will be implicated, and others will not be affected.

The same principle applies to other behaviors.

Seeing Li Renshu approach, Zhang Shichao asked, "A shelter has already sold the item for 16 gold coins. What are your plans?"

Lee In-sook answered truthfully: "We will still sell normal shelters at normal prices, but that may have to wait until near the end of the game."

Zhang Shichao was taken aback: "Why? Doing this will not benefit you at all."

Lee In-sook sighed: "But it's not too bad either."

"Even if the shelter is sold at a high price, the only difference is that I will earn more gold coins."

"For most people in our community, upholding their values ​​is more important than earning more gold coins."

"Of course, this only represents the situation in our community. How you want to sell is the freedom of your community."

Zhang Shichao nodded and didn't say anything more.

Lee In-sook continued, "I've come here on important business."

"You previously stated that crimes in your community could include 'spreading speech' or 'incitement,' right?"

Zhang Shichao nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Lee In-sook asked, "So you're just going to wait here and do nothing?"

Zhang Shichao was stunned: "What do you mean? Why?"
"Wouldn't you be implicated if you deliberately did such a thing? Wouldn't that be courting death?"

Clearly, among the five communities in the inner field at this time, the worst is Community 7, where Jin Cheng is located, and the second worst is Community 9, where Zhang Shichao is located.

Even after Lee In-sook had explained it all, they still didn't quite understand.

Li Renshu sighed silently. This was actually Cao Haichuan's idea first, but after Cao Haichuan mentioned it briefly, she immediately realized it as well.

As a result, Zhang Shichao, the person involved, still doesn't quite understand.

Lee In-sook lowered her voice and said, "You should now select three players to try committing the same crime."

……

Two players from Community 15 have returned.

Feng Bo went to Community 7, while the other player went to Community 12.

Wang Weidong originally planned to send only Feng Bo to reduce the risk. However, he couldn't do it because the game time was limited and the venue was quite large. Wang Weidong couldn't determine how long it would take Feng Bo to persuade the 7th Community, so there was a high chance that they wouldn't have enough time.

We had to send an extra player to the 12th community.

The goal is singular: to win over as many communities as possible, sell the shelters at higher prices, and maximize the profits for all insiders.

Because if any community sells its shelter at a lower price, it could affect the profits of all players inside.

Wang Weidong looked at them: "So? What's the attitude of these communities?"

Feng Bo said first, "The 7th community should be fine, and we will definitely sell it at the highest possible price."

Another player said, "The 12th community has also agreed, so it should sell for a high price."

Wang Weidong didn't take it seriously: "Okay, I understand."

Feng Bo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why not also ask about the 9th and 17th communities?"

Wang Weidong chuckled: "Of course there's a reason."

"Community 17 seems to have decided not to take any action and to avoid any possible consequences that could lead to collective punishment."

"So there's no need to ask, they definitely won't cooperate with us to raise the price."

"But that's alright, because if they don't raise the price, they won't have many gold coins, and they won't be able to bid for many plots of land, so it won't disrupt the market."

"As for the 9th community... the reasons are more complicated."

"Simply put, I suspect their crimes are likely related to language strategies."

Feng Bo was even more puzzled: "What? If this really counts as a crime, then haven't I committed the same crime?"

"Why should we take the initiative to do this? Even if we were to do it, it should be the 12th community that does it."

"Furthermore, there has been no action taken in Communities 9, 12, and 17. Even if this crime does exist, what makes you so sure it happened in Community 9?"

Wang Weidong shook his head and explained, "It's something we can only do ourselves to get everyone to raise the price together."

"Because Community 12 has the most plots of land and shelters, they also have the most initiative. They are more free to raise or lower prices than we are."

"Chen Guangming should be a smart man; he couldn't possibly not have thought of this."

“If Community 7 sells the shelter at a low price, we will be the ones who suffer the most, so it is up to us to persuade them.”

"I suspect this crime belongs to Community 9 because they are clearly more passive in their language strategies compared to Community 12 and Community 17."

"But you don't need to worry. Since I asked you to do this, it's probably safe."

"Because of the number of people."

Wang Weidong paused slightly before continuing to explain: "Whether one is implicated after committing the same crime depends on the number of people who have committed the same crime."

"Right now, only the two of you have committed this act, far fewer than five people. So even if the crime is committed, it is the community of the perpetrators that will be implicated, and you are safe."

Feng Bo nodded in realization: "I see."

Wang Weidong added, "Moreover, this is the only risky thing we're going to do."

"Once we're certain that everyone will sell their shelters at high prices, we'll sell all of them and stop competing with Community 12."

"Make sure you maximize your profits, then take the money and run."

Feng Bo then asked, "But what about the 'final vote'?"

Wang Weidong smiled but did not answer directly: "Heh, don't worry, there will always be more despicable people than noble ones, and a despicable alliance will always be more stable than a noble one."
