God's imitator

Chapter 319 Donation
Cai Zhiyuan paused slightly before continuing:
"So, if we want to try unlocking new products, let's just try the second possibility and raise the total amount of various funds in the community to 60 and see."

"Previously, due to the progressive tax rate, each of us was forced to pay around 15000, totaling 75000. So, theoretically, if we donate an additional 33, we can reach that amount."

"But since we've already donated 33, we might as well round it up to 40."

"Based on this figure, each of us will donate exactly 8."

"Furthermore, the rules for using the 'Luxury Goods Fund' have changed. If you need to use your visa time urgently later, you can withdraw a portion of your donation."

"So these visa periods won't be wasted; most of them can still be retrieved."

"Of course, whether or not to donate is ultimately a personal decision."

"As I said before, we must not create any tendency to force donations."

Yang Yuting fell into deep thought.

However, after considering it for a moment, she nodded and said, "Yes, you make a good point. I agree to this amount."

"Even after donating so much, we still have more than 45000 in-game earnings, which is about the average earnings of a typical game."

“Then I’ll go and talk to Zheng Jie, Aunt Zhou, and Dai Yifan privately.”

Cai Zhiyuan nodded: "Okay."

Watching Yang Yuting's departing figure, Cai Zhiyuan seemed lost in thought.

If Yang Yuting didn't take the initiative to contact him, he wouldn't go to Yang Yuting and Zheng Jie to discuss the donation.

At most, I would donate a portion of my earnings.

Although Tsai Chih-yuan made the greatest contribution to this game, it is most inappropriate for him to talk about donations.

Therefore, Cai Zhiyuan does not intend to do so voluntarily.

As for the remaining four people, Dai Yifan and Zhou Guifen certainly have no political awareness, and the possibility of them voluntarily offering to donate is very low.

Cai Zhiyuan originally thought that Zheng Jie would come to him first, since Yang Yuting and Wang Yongxin were closer.

But unexpectedly, it was Yang Yuting who brought it up first.

If we consider it from the perspective of Wang Yongxin and Yang Yuting's small group, then Yang Yuting has no reason to take the initiative to approach Cai Zhiyuan about donating money, nor does she need to help Cai Zhiyuan persuade the other three people.

However, from Yang Yuting's own perspective, it's not that simple.

Clearly, Yang Yuting's proposal was the result of a thorough weighing of the pros and cons from her own perspective.

For Cai Zhiyuan, this was a better possibility than Zheng Jie coming to him.

In such a community environment, players' political awareness will inevitably continue to rise.

……

……

The next morning.

Lin Sizhi, Wang Yongxin, Cai Zhiyuan, and Wei Yinzhang each distributed their handwritten materials to the other players.

As agreed beforehand, they selected different elements such as numbers, colors, playing cards, chess pieces, animals, plants, shapes, and tarot cards. Then, based on their professional knowledge, they created 10 simple but obscure professional questions.

The remaining 8 players in the community each received one.

Zheng Jie first looked at Lin Sizhi's information: "The numbers are 5 and 12, the color is gray, the playing card is the King of Diamonds, the pieces in both chess games are rooks, the animal is an owl, the plant is wisteria, the shape is a triangle, and the tarot card is the Wheel of Fortune..."

"Huh, the Tarot card is the Wheel of Fortune? I thought you would choose 'Justice' or 'Judgment', Attorney Lin." Lin Sizhi was silent for a moment: "I just chose randomly, please don't overinterpret it."

"Of course, if we have to say there is a connection, there is some. Wisteria flowers symbolize 'law,' 'justice,' and 'the spirit of the rule of law,' mainly because their color and shape are quite distinctive."

"The shapes of a triangle and a balance scale are quite similar."

"The character '车' is symmetrical and also resembles the image of a balance scale."

"As for the Tarot cards, not choosing 'Justice' or 'Judgment' is purely a matter of personal preference: I am a lawyer, not a judge, and I do not pursue absolute justice."

Zheng Jie quickly glanced through the information of the other three people; everyone's choices were different.

Wang Yongxin's choice was obviously much more high-profile: the playing card was the King of Hearts, the chess piece was the King, the animal was the Lion, and the tarot card was the Emperor.

Everyone guessed the tarot card Wei Yinzhang chose: The Fool.

Cai Zhiyuan likely deliberately avoided relatively popular choices: the playing card was the Jack of Spades, the chess piece was the bishop, the animal was the parrot, and the tarot card was the Hermit.

Since there are only four people's information, it is relatively easy to remember.

Of course, no one can be sure whether this information will actually be useful in future games, but it's never a bad thing to be prepared.

Yang Yuting looked around and saw that everyone was in the community hall.

So he said to Lee In-sook, "In-sook, the five of us discussed it yesterday and decided that each of us would donate 8 minutes of visa time to the luxury goods fund, which is a total of 40."

Lee In-sook was somewhat surprised: "40? Is that much?"

She then looked at Zheng Jie, Zhou Guifen, and Dai Yifan: "Have you all agreed? Each of you will donate 8?"

The three nodded to each other.

The others were also somewhat surprised.

These three players are, after all, a relatively vulnerable group within the community that needs care, especially Dai Yifan, who had just joined the community and only had the most basic visa time before this game.

After donating 8, the game's earnings were reduced to less than 5.

Yang Yuting explained, "According to the current rules, luxury goods funds can be withdrawn, so they can't be considered pure donations anymore; they have the characteristics of a deposit."

"Moreover, the extra profits we made in this game were the result of our community's unity and cooperation. In particular, the four of us didn't make many special contributions, so it's only right that we donate more to give back to the community."

Wang Yongxin glanced at them thoughtfully, but said nothing.

Clearly, Yang Yuting privately confirmed the donation amount with Cai Zhiyuan and persuaded the other three players without informing Wang Yongxin, nor was there any need to do so.

Lee In-sook nodded: "Okay, since you've already discussed it, we're all happy to accept it."

The five participants in the "Simple Q&A" each went to the vending machine and operated it, donating 8 minutes of visa time.

Although Wang Yongxin had previously suggested "not to flaunt or compare" his donations, it is clear that no one in the community would actually do so.

Especially for large donations like this, it's even less likely that they would be made secretly in private.

Soon, the donations were completed, and the luxury goods fund reached a new high of 61.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this number.

When the proposal was first put forward, there were some objections in the community, and some people were worried about what would happen if no one donated money anymore and they could no longer buy the "immunity certificate".

It seems that there is no need to worry about this for the time being.
