God's imitator

Chapter 487 Vacancy (Bonus Chapter)
Zheng Jie nodded: "Okay, then I'll sign up for a small class first."

Qin Yao immediately raised her hand: "I'll sign up too."

After a moment of silence, Li Renshu asked, "So, shall we conclude this debriefing here?"
"If anyone comes up with any new questions, we can continue the discussion."

"Perhaps the game content this time is more complicated and the situation is more chaotic. There are too many things to say, so I got stuck for a while."

"Anyway, there's still a long time left in the game, so if anyone thinks of any new questions or doubts, we can start a discussion at any time."

The group looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.

……

The atmosphere of this review was slightly different from previous ones.

The discussion was not very lively.

Li Renshu clearly saw this as well, mainly because among the four players who were truly capable of reviewing the details, Wang Yongxin was not present, and Lin Sizhi, Cai Zhiyuan, and Wei Yinzhang were not very active in their speeches.

They did review most of the game's content, but they didn't discuss some details in depth, generally showing an attitude that was "unimportant."

Players like Zheng Jie and Qin Yao, who are slow to realize things, might not notice it, but more perceptive players can sense it to some extent.

However, given the current situation, it's impossible to directly expose the truth.

That's why Lee In-sook suggested that today's debriefing should end here.

If necessary, the discussion could be restarted after a private conversation.

But it's also possible that the discussion will stop.

"Everyone has worked hard, please get some rest!"

"You've worked hard, sweet dreams!"

Everyone stood up and returned to their own rooms.

……

It had gotten completely dark.

Although the outdoor area was illuminated by light sources, most of Lin Sizhi's figure was shrouded in darkness, with only the red dot of a cigarette placed beside him faintly visible.

"This is the algorithm for the '100 Prisoners Problem'."

"In simple terms, under this strategy, calculating the survival probability of these prisoners is equivalent to calculating the probability of a specific number chain appearing."

Zheng Jie and Qin Yao nodded seriously, seemingly having roughly understood.

"So it seems that delving into the specific algorithm behind it is indeed not very meaningful."

"It's not easy to understand when you talk about it, but once you understand it, you realize that it's actually better to just memorize the conclusion."

Lin Sizhi nodded: "Yes, in fact, most of the games in the arcade are like that."

"Strategies that have already been used are unlikely to be used a second time, and even if they are used, they will definitely be very different from before."

"Therefore, while reviewing the game can play a role and slightly improve the player's skill level, this improvement is actually very limited."

"Otherwise, if everyone keeps reviewing the game, wouldn't we be like stepping on each other's feet and flying to the sky together?"

"But in reality, even those players with growth potential basically grow rapidly within a few games and then become permanently fixed."

"It goes without saying that players who lack growth potential will not improve no matter how hard they try to review their games."

"Just like in real life, when people do some highly specialized and creative work, most people will be completely set after three to five years in the industry, and there won't be much room for improvement afterward."

Zheng Jie sighed, "It feels like Brother Lin is targeting me... what you said really hit home..."

Qin Yao then said, "Even so, Attorney Lin, will you still explain these things to us in as much detail as possible?"

Lin Sizhi smiled. "Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, do I? It's getting late, you guys should go back and rest. I'd like to sit by myself for a while longer."

Qin Yao and Zheng Jie nodded: "Then you should get some rest too."

After the two left, Lin Sizhi sat outside for a long time, looking up at the pitch-black night sky.

Finally, he stood up and went back to his room.

……

……

The next morning.

Li Renshu, Lin Sizhi, Cai Zhiyuan, and Wei Yinzhang went to a small room on the first floor.

Seeing that the other three had arrived, Li Renshu closed the door and got straight to the point: "Today, I mainly want to discuss with everyone the issue of recruiting new members for the five-person group."

"First of all, there should be no doubt about the inclusion of Yin Zhang. We had already discussed this when Brother Wang joined. Yin Zhang is the first priority by default, and he will be given priority to fill any vacancies."

"The question now is how to determine the fifth candidate."

"I thought about it for a long time last night. Although I had some ideas, I felt that they were not perfect."

"So now I'd like to hear everyone's opinions."

The other three players were each deep in thought and did not answer for the time being.

The "five-person group" in the community can be regarded as the management of the entire community. It has existed for a long time, but the personnel have been slowly changing.

After Cao Haichuan left, Wang Yongxin's arrival brought about subtle changes to the community's ecosystem, and a period of adjustment was required, but overall, the adjustment is almost complete.

Wang Yongxin has accumulated a significant amount of visa time in the community, which has also played a major role in promoting the evolution of the community system.

He didn't have time to take these visas with him, but for a player like Wang Yongxin, it probably wouldn't matter too much.

But for Community 17, it was only at this point that they realized Wang Yongxin's existence was far more important than these visa processing times.

The departures of Fu Chen and Wang Yongxin, while simplifying the situation within the community to some extent, also created a vacuum within the community.

That's why Lee In-sook said that the last vacancy in the "five-person team" should be filled as soon as possible.

Seeing that no one spoke for the time being, Li Renshu continued, "Actually, there is another option: let's keep the current situation and discuss it among the four of us, and not include any new players for the time being."

"After all, the 'group of five' is just what we think is the best structure, not a mandatory rule of the community."

"If we really can't find a suitable candidate, we don't necessarily have to force them in. It's perfectly fine to keep the four-person structure for the time being."

Wei Yinzhang thought for a moment: "Should we ask Yang Yuting for her opinion first?"

Cai Zhiyuan said, "There's no need to ask."

"If you ask, given her personality, she will definitely come; there's no other possibility."

"The question now is not whether Yang Yuting wants to come, but whether we need her to come."

Wei Yinzhang nodded slightly: "Yes...that's true."

"But besides her, there are no other candidates, right?"

"If we bring in other people, or keep it as a group of four... wouldn't that be a bit hard for her to accept?"
"This seems very unfair."

"In terms of contributions, in-game performance, and time spent in the community, other players in the community are almost no threat to her."

"Although Yang Yuting is still a bit lacking compared to Officer Cao and Boss Wang, we have no other choice."

"It can't be that everyone else got in based on seniority and got in smoothly, but then the rules suddenly changed when it came to her."
