Chapter 295 Second Phase Rules
After leaving room number 4, Cai Zhiyuan arrived at a spacious hall.

In the center of the hall is a large screen, with eight different doors distributed on both sides of the screen, each with a different design and signage.

玩家们走出来的这5个门，上面分别写着1到5的数字，而对面的3个门，则是分别写着『4人房间』、『8人房间』和『13人房间』。

Next to the doors of these rooms, there are signs with special lighting effects and two rows of small figures, seemingly indicating the number of people currently in the room.

In addition, there are five special workstations in the hall, each marked with the name of a different community, indicating that each community is allocated one.

"Brother Cai!"

Cai Zhiyuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zheng Jie walking out of room number 3 next door.

In addition, Yang Yuting, Zhou Guifen, and Dai Yifan also came out from other rooms.

Players from the same community naturally gathered near their community's control panel.

The different communities maintained distance from each other, which naturally led to the formation of five small groups in the hall.

Yang Yuting wanted to ask about the situation of the others, but she didn't have time because the rules for the second phase had already started playing on the big screen.

[Now let's explain the rules for the second phase of the game.]

The second phase of the game will still be conducted in a question-and-answer format, with the same rules for asking and answering questions as the first phase.

However, the following rules will be added:

【I. Room Selection】

[Upon entering the second phase, the 25 players will be divided into '4-player rooms,' '8-player rooms,' and '13-player rooms' to continue the game.]

Based on your performance in the first phase, you have received number cards ranging from 1 to 25. These numbers represent your order of room selection.

When a number appears on the big screen, the player holding the corresponding number card can choose any of the three rooms that still have available seats to enter.

II. Changes in Room Rules

[1. The second stage will last a total of 60 minutes, with the maximum answering time for each question reduced to 5 minutes. The correct answer will be announced immediately and the competition will end early when all participants have submitted their answers.]

2. Each player will be completely isolated in a cubicle, during which time they will be unable to communicate through any conventional means.

[3. A new feature will appear on the screen of players answering the questions: 'Send Suggestions'.]

This feature allows you to send suggested options to other participants in the room. It is only available for the first 4 minutes after the quiz begins.

Players sending or receiving suggestions cannot verify each other's identities, but suggestions from different players will be displayed separately.

After sending a suggestion, the option from the last submitted suggestion will be mandatory as the answer. (This rule does not apply to independent individuals.)

【III. Special Status】

Players may be assigned one of four different roles: 'Host', 'Free Agent', 'Question Setter', or 'Question Answerer'.

The methods for obtaining the four identities and their corresponding privileges are as follows:

【1. Homeowner】

The first player to enter the room will become the room owner, and this role will remain in place until the end of the game.

Each community can have a maximum of one player as the host.

The host can set a rule that forces players answering questions in the room to continuously send a specific type of suggestion. However, this rule will only take effect if agreed upon by half of the players in the room.

[The homeowner can cancel the rules at any time, but setting new rules requires a new vote.] [2. Independent Person]

Each community can select 2 players from within the community to become 'free agents,' for a total of 10.

【『4人房间』最多进入『1名』自由人，『8人房间』最多进入『3名』自由人，『13人房间』最多进入『6名』自由人。】

[If a free agent becomes the host, or enters the room after the limit for free agents has been reached, they will "automatically lose their free agent status."]

[Freelancers are not subject to the room rules set by the host.]

When a "free agent" is punished by the "majority," the punishment is borne by the person who set the question, and the penalty becomes the benefit for the copycat. However, this effect can only occur a maximum of 15 times per room.

The answer from the "free agent" will not affect the determination of the "unanimous" reward for other respondents, but if the answers are the same, the "unanimous" reward can be obtained.

[If a "free agent" earns less than 3 minutes of visa time in a room, an additional 6 minutes of visa time will be deducted and transferred to the community with the highest earnings at the end of the game.]

【3. Question Setter】

Players will take turns asking questions in the order they entered the room, from back to front. Each player can only ask one question per turn, and questions that have already been asked cannot be asked again. Questions must have clear variations and distinctions from each other.

If the question setter's question does not comply with the rules, 2 minutes of visa time will be immediately deducted and evenly distributed among the players who answered the question.

[The question setter can be re-elected, meaning they can continue to serve as the question setter, when the following conditions are met.]

[Condition 1: When the question setter's earnings from this question reach or exceed 5500 minutes of visa time, they may voluntarily choose to "repeat" or give up.]

[Condition 2: When the total winnings of the players for this question reach or exceed 5500 minutes of visa time, a majority of the players' consent will force the question setter to "repeat their winning streak".]

In all other cases, the question setter will be replaced.

【4. The respondent】

[Apart from the person who set the question, all other players in the room will automatically become the person who answers the question; this role cannot be relinquished.]

III. Community Contract

Two communities can sign a contract to share the profits and losses of a game, and split the spoils according to a specific ratio.

Each community can only sign one contract.

IV. Reward and Punishment Rules:

[1. Compared to the first phase, all rewards and penalties related to visa processing time will be doubled in the second phase.]

[2. In this game, after a player's visa time is exhausted, visa time will continue to be deducted from other players in the same community within the game.]

[Even after all players in the same community have had their visa time reduced to 48 hours, the debt will continue to be recorded and shared equally among all players in the same community.]

[After returning to the community, players must repay all debts within 48 hours, or they will suffer an instant death penalty.]

3. It is strictly forbidden to agree in advance, in any form, to "ignore the content of the question and answer a specific option." Otherwise, it will be considered a violation, with a warning for the first offense and an immediate penalty for the second offense.

4. Violence and other violations are strictly prohibited; violators will be subject to immediate execution.

[After 15 minutes, players will officially begin selecting rooms and will continue playing until the game ends.]

Players have 15 minutes to discuss team strategy, so please make the most of it!

After the rules were explained, a 15-minute countdown appeared on the big screen.
