God's imitator

Chapter 325 Ambition
After considering it, Yang Yuting said, "It would be too arbitrary to make these speculations based on the information we already have. Besides, only one item is activated every 30 visas. Who knows how the item will be used later?"

"There's a saying, 'Where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure.' No matter how the items in the arcade are restricted, we can still use new proposals to re-regulate how these items are used, and distribute the right to use them to all players as much as possible."

Wang Yongxin shook his head slightly: "Thinking like that might be a bit too optimistic."

"We players are essentially guinea pigs controlled by the community and the arcade. If the community or the arcade really forces a certain direction of evolution, then we may not be able to resist it."

"My thought is that if that situation really occurs, we should make the corresponding preparations."

"Let's assume that a new item appears in the community later."

"This item is very powerful, but it is mandatory that it can only be held by one player, cannot be divided in any way, and the holder will have great power."

What do you think will happen then?

Yang Yuting thought for a moment: "It must be decided by a vote of everyone who will hold it."

"However, in the final vote, Lee In-sook will most likely win."

“But Lee In-sook must also make a clear guarantee to everyone that she will not abuse these powers, otherwise others may not vote for her or may switch her midway.”

Wang Yongxin nodded: "Yes, but what if the community then mandates that once this item is given to a player, it cannot be revoked or given to another player?"

"Or perhaps Lee In-sook doesn't want to give up these powers, but is unable to maximize the potential of this prop?"

Yang Yuting understood Wang Yongxin's unspoken meaning: "If this situation really occurs, you would want to fight for it, right?"

“You can accept that the community is mainly managed by Lee In-sook now, but things will be different if the power is expanded.”

"You think that while Lee In-sook is good at managing the community, her skills in the game are obviously not enough, and with the concentration of power, she may not be able to take care of everyone in the community all the time."

"Comparatively speaking, you still prefer to be in control of the power."

"But that seems unlikely right now, doesn't it?"

"The vast majority of people in the community still approve of Li Renshu."

"Moreover, now that you've joined the group of five, although you've been given some power, it also means that most of the dirty and hard work will be done by you."

"For example, the previous change to the fund's deposit and withdrawal rules, on the surface it was your proposal, but in reality it was also approved or even hinted at by Lee In-sook, right?"
"The final result is that those players who disagree with the plan, even if they have opinions, are all directed at you, not at Li Renshu."

"It was clearly her decision that was ultimately made, but you're the one taking the blame."

"In this situation, your image in the eyes of other players will probably only get worse and worse, and this cannot be reversed simply by donating money."

"If things continue like this, you'll probably never be able to affect Lee In-sook's position."

Wang Yongxin shook his head: "Really? I don't think so."

"Take the matter of changing the fund deposit and withdrawal rules as an example. On the surface, I am indeed taking more of the blame, while Lee In-sook maintains the image of a 'good person'."

"Players with poor political awareness may not be able to understand this point."

"But the problem is that the political awareness of our community players is rising, and rising very quickly. It shouldn't be long before they figure this out."

"The more crucial issue is that taking the blame is not necessarily a bad thing all the time."

“I took the blame for Lee In-sook. On the surface, it seems like I was the one who suffered a loss, but I gradually strengthened the image of ‘daring to take responsibility and daring to solve problems’ in the minds of some players.”

"I know that being unafraid of criticism and even at the expense of some players' interests to forcefully push for solutions that are beneficial to the community as a whole is an image that is unpopular in an environment without survival pressure."

"But what if it were a more stressful environment? Would such an image necessarily be a bad thing?" Yang Yuting paused for a moment, clearly realizing that this was indeed a blind spot in her previous thinking.

Wang Yongxin continued, "You have to understand that everyone has a different ecological niche, and it's unrealistic for me to forcefully take Li Renshu's ecological niche."

"As a woman, she naturally carries a harmless image, which makes her more likely to unite the community and become the core in a more peaceful and less stressful environment."

"Her image is naturally non-aggressive, so when she proposes a gentle solution, she is more likely to gain the approval of most players."

"But I'm different. Even if I propose the same solution as her, everyone will always choose her and not me."

"Therefore, it would be foolish for me to try to steal her ecological niche; we must avoid it."

"My ideal niche is a strong person who can unite the community and lead it forward with powerful means."

"This niche is my comfort zone, and at the same time, it is different from the niche in which Li Renshu is located."

"This image is certainly unpopular in the 17th community right now, but I believe that as the community environment evolves, I will definitely find opportunities."

"This is the opportunity I've been waiting for."

Yang Yuting fell silent. Clearly, Wang Yongxin's plan was far more complicated than she had imagined.

She originally thought that after Wang Yongxin joined the management team, as a new member, she had to take the initiative to do these dirty and tiring jobs to take the blame for Li Renshu.

But now it seems that Wang Yongxin and Li Renshu each have their own ideas.

For Li Renshu, it would be inappropriate for her to forcefully push through such a plan, as it would damage her long-standing image. So, since the community structure has changed and Wang Yongxin must join, it would be better to let Wang Yongxin do the dirty work and take the blame for her.

Wang Yongxin also had his own plans; he wasn't taking the blame for nothing.

Once the environment of the arcade becomes harsh, and the 17th community needs a strong leader with sufficient skills to guide everyone forward, Wang Yongxin may finally get his chance.

Although the chances seem slim at the moment, what if they do?
Yang Yuting had previously thought that Wang Yongxin might never make it into the five-person group, but not long after, Wang Yongxin got his chance.

Perhaps this time will be the same.

Wang Yongxin never gives up on opportunities just because they seem unlikely. On the contrary, he is very willing to make full preparations and wait for those slim chances.

Yang Yuting considered for a moment: "So... what do you want me to do by telling me all this?"

Wang Yongxin said quite frankly, "I hope you can continue to support me as always."

“I actually strongly support your donation to the foundation this time, together with Cai Zhiyuan.”

“I don’t think it’s wrong for you to think about yourself. After all, it’s normal for you to worry that I won’t prioritize your interests as much as before after I join the group of five.”

"But you may be underestimating my ambition."

"If my goal is simply to stop here, to be a middle manager in the five-person team who does all the dirty and hard work for Lee In-sook, then I really don't need to pay any more attention to your interests."

"But if I want to go further, I will definitely need your strong support."

"Therefore, I will do my best to help you gain a greater voice in the community."

“If that day ever comes, then you will be as important to me as Cai Zhiyuan is to Li Renshu.”
