Chapter 320 Identity Card

"Quickly check if any new products have been activated."

Yang Yuting immediately checked the product list on the vending machine.

Of course, she wasn't sure about this either, since according to Cai Zhiyuan's guess, the visa time required to activate new products might also be calculated cumulatively.

However, given the current prices in the community, activating a new feature for every 30 is the most likely scenario.

Others also came to check out the vending machine.

Sure enough, compared to the previous product list, there were some new items updated, including more food, clothing, daily necessities, luxury goods, and medical supplies.

But what's more important are obviously the new and special products.

However, the new props that appeared this time were somewhat unexpected.

It's not the function of the prop, but the way it's used.

[First Player's Identity Card]

[Price: 20 minutes of visa processing time]

After purchase, community players can vote to award the identity token to a specific player.

[You can change the holder by voting again, but there is a 30-day cooldown period after each change, and it can only be done outside of game time.]

[Privilege for First Player:]

[1. You can decline one forced game invitation every 30 days.]

[When a file is selected in a game with a judgment-like element, it cannot be refused.]

[If you decline a mandatory game invitation, other players may be forcibly selected from this community or other communities to participate. The specific selection method depends on the game's invitation rules.]

[2. Every 30 days, 10 minutes of visa processing time can be spent to provide in-game players with a suggestion of no more than 10 words.]

When a community possesses the first player's identity card, it can simultaneously access basic game rule information with other players in the game.

[Submitted suggestions will be reviewed by the arcade. Suggestions must not reveal or imply hidden game mechanics; otherwise, they will be rejected.]

[If a suggestion is rejected three times in the same game, that suggestion attempt will be consumed.]

3. When voting within the community, each vote will be counted as 2 votes.

[Note: The first and second privileges of the first player will have separate cooldown times. Uses cannot be accumulated, and the cooldown countdown will only begin after each use.]

The expressions on everyone's faces were varied.

Clearly, this product is very different from the "immunity coupon" in terms of usage: it is not a single function, but has three functions at the same time.

The first function can be considered as the "right to refuse," which allows you to refuse game invitations;
The second function can be seen as the "right to make suggestions," which allows players in the game to provide suggestions and also lets players in the community know the game rules in real time.
The third function can be regarded as "voting rights", that is, when voting in the community, it is counted as 2 votes by default.

But that's the biggest problem: these three features are bundled together and cannot be purchased separately.

Moreover, these three functions will be forcibly tied to a single player, which means that player will have greater power within the community.

The name of this item is "First Player Identity Card," which is quite fitting.

In addition, this tool may also have various minor problems during actual use.

Li Renshu looked at the others: "Should we buy it?" Yang Yuting thought for a moment: "Of course we should buy it, right?"

Fu Chen nodded: "I think so too, let's buy it first and then decide."

Li Renshu lowered her head and considered for a moment: "There's no need to rush. Let's discuss the specific functions and uses of this new prop first, and then we can buy it after we've discussed it clearly."

"After all, this involves 20 minutes of visa processing time, so we need to be careful."

Everyone returned to their seats at the long table in the hall.

Lee In-sook looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please speak freely. Whether to buy or not, and how to use it after buying, are all open to discussion."

"Although it seems like a useful new tool, we also need to carefully consider whether it is worthwhile, since the visa time required for purchasing or using it is not insignificant."

"We also have to consider the possibility that we won't be able to get this many benefits in later games."

Fu Chen said first, "Isn't it more appropriate to buy it?"

"Putting aside everything else, the 'submitting suggestions' option is extremely important."

“The selection rules for each game are different. The core players who lead the team may not have a spot to voluntarily participate in the game, and many players may become confused and fall into misconceptions after entering the game.”

"External advice can often play a significant role."

"Although it was limited to 10 characters, the suggestion for the 'birth trial' was limited to 2 characters at the time, and Attorney Lin also gave a good enough suggestion."

"Under certain conditions, a good suggestion can save a life."

"Moreover, this is equivalent to giving us an extra option; we may not use it, but we cannot be without it."

Wang Yongxin shook his head slightly: "I think we should be cautious about buying this prop."

"'You can do without it, but you can't live without it' is not a reason to buy it."

"Most of the items in the vending machine can be described with this phrase, but we don't have to buy them all, right?"
"Personally, I would definitely have to seriously consider the cost-effectiveness when buying similar props."

"After all, we're not so rich that we don't value visa time at all."

Let's look at them one by one.

"First of all, the option to refuse forced invitations is basically available to only one player."

"Although you can vote to change the holder of your identity card, you can only change it once every 30 days, and changing it will involve all sorts of other issues. In principle, you can't just change it randomly."

"When your player profile is selected, you cannot refuse."

"But only in games like this is the mortality rate highest. Just like when I was forced to participate in the 'King's Trial' and Officer Cao was forced to participate in the 'Shelter Game'."

"In other games, the mortality rate is actually not that high."

"For example, there are 'judgment games where the player is not the one being judged,' 'screening games,' 'matchmaking games,' 'April Fool's games,' and 'assignment games.'"

"There's no reason to refuse a game of allocation. These games basically don't have the risk of death; at most, you'll just lose money. If you don't participate in these, what else can you participate in?"
“If a player is rejected by a selection game, the selection rules for each game will determine which players will fill the vacancy. Only a few selection games will fill the vacancy from players who voluntarily participate from other communities. Otherwise, in most cases, players from the same community will be selected to fill the vacancy.”

"In that case, what's the point of refusing the game invitation?"
"It only benefits individuals who hold identity cards, but it may not necessarily benefit the community, because other vulnerable people may be forced to participate."
