God's imitator

Chapter 5 Basic Community Rules
【I. Basic Living Principles】

The "community" is the daily life area for all players.

[Visa validity period is the only currency within the community.]

Players can use "Visa Time" to purchase essential supplies from the community, including basic food, clothing, and medicine.

When issuing visas, the community has conducted a comprehensive assessment based on each player's situation and determined the initial 'visa duration'.

The specific visa processing time can be checked at any visa application machine, vending machine, or personal computer.

[Any direct or indirect transactions involving "visa time" between players are prohibited within the community. Using visa time to purchase resources and then transferring those resources to others is also not permitted.]

Completing the trial games in the "Arcade" is the only way to earn "Visa Time". See "III. Arcade Trial Rules" for details.

II. Community Activity Guidelines

All players in the community have equal status.

[Any dangerous actions against other players that are outside the rules are strictly prohibited, including but not limited to murder, kidnapping, coercion, and poisoning.]

Every community player has equal voting rights.

Any community player can submit a proposal at the 'Community Management Office'. After the community approves it, all community players can vote on it.

[When more than half of the community players vote in favor, the proposal will be established as a new community rule.]

III. Courtroom Trial Principles

The "Arcade" is the institution for cleansing and judgment in the new world.

The "Arcade" may open at any time, summoning players to complete a trial game in either a "mandatory" or "voluntary" manner.

[Upon completing the game, you will receive corresponding 'visa time' based on the game content.]

[Among all the players, there lurks a special group of dangerous individuals: 'Imitators of God.' They design games for the arcade and carry out trials for the players.]

When a player dies in the arcade, the game's designers will receive all of that player's remaining visa time.

The rules of the "Arcade" game will be updated in real time on the homepage of the player's personal computer website.

The above are the basic rules of the new world. Many more hidden rules await players to discover and create.

Tonight is Christmas Eve. Wishing everyone a pleasant night in the new world.

The image on the big screen disappeared, replaced by the simple words "Sweet Dreams" and a warm city background.

"My God, I have actually come to heaven."

"This is the eternal dwelling place of the soul, the final resting place of the kind-hearted..."

A simply dressed middle-aged woman repeatedly made the sign of the cross on her chest, her eyes brimming with tears, her emotions running high.

As for the others, their reactions varied.

Some people wore expressions of joy, while others wore expressions of anxiety.

Fu Chen glanced at everyone, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Everyone... could you please be a little quiet and let me say a few words?"

"Most of us probably don't know exactly what happened, how we got here, or what the so-called new world is."

"But judging from the current situation, we will all be living together in this community for some time to come."

"Therefore, I suggest that everyone do a brief self-introduction to get to know each other better, and then discuss the known community rules."

"This might help our relationship in the future."

"Of course, this is just an initiative and is not mandatory in any way."

"What do you think?"

Fu Chen looked at the crowd, and the previously noisy atmosphere quieted down again, with many people nodding in agreement. No one stood up to object.

Fu Chen pushed up his frameless glasses and said, "Okay, I'll go first."

"I am number 1, Fu Chen."

As he spoke, he showed everyone the visa pattern on his wristband to prove that he hadn't lied about his name.

"I am 25 years old this year, and as you can see, I am male."

"My original job was as a live streamer, mainly broadcasting outdoor content."

"I have absolutely no memory of how I got here."

"My last impression was that I was doing a 48-hour non-stop live stream challenge, and I think I fell asleep because I was too tired. When I woke up, I was in a pure white room."

"After waiting for two hours, the door finally opened."

"I walked along the road to this building and checked in."

Fu Chen seemed to be trying his best to make his tone sound relaxed and humorous, especially when he mentioned "as you can see, the gender is male," as if he was expecting some response from the crowd.

Unfortunately, the people present were clearly still in a tense and wary state of mind, so they did not give any feedback.

"So, let's introduce ourselves one by one, in order of our player numbers?"

As Fu Chen spoke, he looked at a slightly plump woman with flushed cheeks sitting diagonally opposite him.

The slightly plump woman nodded and continued, "Hello everyone, I'm number 2, my name is Jiang He, and I used to work as a newspaper editor..."

Lin Sizhi listened attentively to everyone's speech, and soon everyone had finished introducing themselves.

Some of them were talkative, while others were introverted. They revealed varying amounts of information to the outside world, but at least basic information, such as age and occupation, was fully disclosed.

No. 1 Fu Chen, male, 25 years old, online anchor.

No. 2 Jiang He, female, 31 years old, newspaper editor.

No. 3, Li Renshu, female, 29 years old, civil servant.

No. 4 Cao Haichuan, male, 39 years old, criminal investigation police officer.

No. 5 Cai Zhiyuan, male, 28 years old, algorithm programmer.

No. 6 Wang Yongxin, male, 36 years old, owner of a startup company.

Qin Yao, No. 7, female, 24 years old, fashion model.

No. 8 Su Xiucen, female, 52 years old, retired employee.

Xu Tong, No. 9, female, 32 years old, human resources supervisor.

Ding Wenqiang, male, 53 years old, courier, No. 10.

Yang Yuting, No. 11, female, 27 years old, senior executive of the company.

Lin Sizhi, male, 26 years old, lawyer. (No. 12)

As for how they got here, it was pretty much the same.

They all experienced temporary amnesia. After waking up, they found themselves in a pure white room. After waiting for two hours, they received their visas and checked into the community.

However, no one mentioned any experience similar to Lin Sizhi's, such as "designing games to judge criminals."

Lin Sizhi was the last to speak, so this part of her speech was omitted.

Fu Chen paused for a moment, then asked, "So, what are everyone's thoughts on our current situation?"
