Chapter 380 Opportunities and Choices
Cai Zhiyuan paused slightly before continuing his explanation:

“As I said before, you are the most suitable player to become the ‘new opposition’ in the community. This is not only because you have basic political literacy and steadily improving game skills, but also because it is directly related to your personality.”

"In terms of 'seizing opportunities,' you are much more proactive than other players, such as Zheng Jie, Qin Yao, Aunt Zhou, Dai Yifan, and so on."

“I think this is a very valuable quality.”

"Sometimes I really envy those of you who are raised in luxury. You always have the courage to seize every opportunity without ever questioning whether you are capable of doing it."

"So, you originally hoped to become the next core player of the game, to gain more influence in the community, or to find an opportunity to join the five-person team."

"If you have no interest in this, then of course there's no reason to enter this dangerous trial game to try and gain an opportunity."

"But if you really want to try, then you can't give up this opportunity."

"Because many opportunities, once missed, will never come again."

Yang Yuting knew what Cai Zhiyuan was talking about—it was actually similar to what Wang Yongxin had experienced in "Blood Poker".

Wang Yongxin discovered a hidden mechanism in the game and gained a lot of visa time.

Lee In-sook's group neither found the hidden mechanism nor gained much visa time.

Ultimately, however, Wang Yongxin's voice in the community was squeezed, and it was difficult for him to find an opportunity to make up for it afterward.

Yang Yuting now faces only two paths:
By giving up this trial game and the opportunity to become a core player, she will forever be regarded as an "ordinary player," and Cai Zhiyuan will no longer consider supporting her as a new "opposition."

Participating in this trial game doesn't necessarily require a spectacular victory. As long as you can help other players in the community, demonstrate your courage, and return safely, you'll likely become a new core player and an "opposition" member of the community, gaining recognition among ordinary players and continuously building your influence.

These are two paths. Choosing one doesn't mean abandoning the other, but turning back might require paying a thousand times the cost.

Just like many of the things Wang Yongxin is doing now, he is paying off the debts of the decisions he made on a whim in "Blood Poker".

Trial games are indeed dangerous, but there are plenty of games in the community that could potentially lead to death.

If the potential returns are high enough, then taking some risks is justified.

After a moment's consideration, Yang Yuting raised a new question: "However, given the current state of the community, becoming a new opposition group is probably not so easy."

"Because after Brother Wang joined the five-person group, the community's management became more stable and stronger than before, and my abilities are not as good as Brother Wang's."

"Currently, most ordinary players in the community are in a 'vertical cut' state, and they are basically deeply tied to one of the players in the five-person group."

"If I can't integrate them and just keep contradicting them, I won't be able to gain a voice; I'll probably just become annoying."

"Even a new player like Dai Yifan supports the new proposal without reservation, which still surprises me..."

Cai Zhiyuan interrupted her: "Dai Yifan? I made him say those words."

Yang Yuting was taken aback: "Huh?"

Cai Zhiyuan said nonchalantly, "It's not hard to guess, is it? He's always been taciturn, but suddenly he said so much at the meeting. Although it fits his 'obey the collective' persona, it's still a bit strange, isn't it?"

"The first game Dai Yifan participated in after entering the game was 'Simple Questions and Answers,' which I led him to victory, so he is naturally tied to me. "Therefore, although the community currently appears to be in a vertically segmented state, it is not absolute, because there is no such thing as a permanent interest."

Take Zheng Jie as an example:
"When he entered the community, Fu Chen received him and told him a lot about the games he had played before, which greatly helped him integrate into the community. So Zheng Jie was naturally close to Fu Chen at the beginning."

“In the ‘Blind Date Game’ and the ‘Fool’s Game,’ Attorney Lin saved him, so he also values ​​Attorney Lin’s opinion very much.”
“I helped him win the visa processing time again in the ‘Simple Q&A’ segment, so he will also stand on my side during the discussion of many bills.”

“These things are never static. For you, ‘occupying the opposition’s niche’ is a long-term process. Just take it slow.”

Cai Zhiyuan paused slightly before continuing, "You don't need to worry too much about this issue, because I will stand firmly on your side."

"That might not be entirely accurate. A more precise way to put it would be:"

"I will give suggestions to Lee In-sook and you separately based on the current situation in the community, and balance the interests between the management and the opposition."

"As long as you take my advice, I will help you achieve your goal without reservation."

"This is completely different from when Wang Yongxin was an 'opposition'."

"Because he is the 'natural opposition,' while you are the 'instructed opposition.'"

“I don’t have a good foundation for cooperation with Wang Yongxin, and we have different ideas. Moreover, his ecological position is that of a leader. As long as Li Renshu is still in the community, I will have to find a way to suppress him.
"But your situation is exactly the opposite. We have a basis for cooperation, the differences in our ideas are not that great, and there is no conflict in our ecological niches."

"So on some key issues, as long as we communicate beforehand and reach a consensus, that's fine."

Yang Yuting fell into deep thought.

Cai Zhiyuan's words make a lot of sense: Although Yang Yuting is not as capable as Wang Yongxin, if she can gain Cai Zhiyuan's support, then the difficulty for both of them to serve as the "opposition" will be completely different.

Although she couldn't make a decision right away, after some initial thought, Yang Yuting had already made a general decision.

"One last question."

"It has nothing to do with the content of this collaboration, but I'm just curious: if Lee In-sook were no longer in the community, what would you choose to do?"

"Should we support Wang Yongxin, or look for other options?"

Cai Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Given the current situation, I'm afraid Wang Yongxin is the only option."

"But in terms of time, there are still variables, after all, people change and grow."

“If you could possess about 80% of Li Renshu’s political acumen, then I personally think you would be a better choice than Wang Yongxin.”

Yang Yuting was a little surprised, but she didn't say much, just nodded.

Okay, I will seriously consider your suggestion.

"I won't tell anyone about this for now; I'll only be in contact with you directly."

Cai Zhiyuan stood up: "Keep it up."
