God's imitator

Chapter 6 Important Matters

Chapter 6 Important Matters
"Need I say more? This is a miracle from God! It's a truly perfect kingdom of heaven!"

The middle-aged woman, Su Xiucen, who had been very excited, couldn't wait to speak, and she prayed devoutly.

"Here, we are all equal;"
"Here, there is no oppression, and there is no danger."

"Being able to freely exchange for unlimited food is truly a gift from God!"

The man with a neatly trimmed beard and dressed formally scoffed: "Heaven? Miracle?"

Are you sure there's no danger here?
"The rules clearly state that all necessities here, such as food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation, require a visa to cover them."

"What's more, there's a trial institution here called the 'Gallery,' where people can really die during trials!"
"Our identity, to put it nicely, is that of players; to put it bluntly, we are guinea pigs used to test the rules of the game."

Lin Sizhi remembered that he was number 6, Wang Yongxin, and his profession was the boss of a startup company.

Another man, who looked much older, with dark skin and many wrinkles on his face, retorted, "So what? Wasn't the original world dangerous?"
"Although there are dangers here, everyone is equal."

Ding Wenqiang, number 10, is 53 years old and works as a courier.

Su Xiucen immediately chimed in: "That's right! For ordinary people, a world where everyone is equal is of course a perfect paradise."

"But that might not be the case for a big boss like you."

"After all, no one will work for you here."

This statement was clearly offensive, and Wang Yongxin's face darkened, his expression turning noticeably displeased.

"Hmph, it won't be long before I'm richer than you, do you believe me?"

As the conflict between the two sides became increasingly acute and showed signs of spiraling out of control, many people seemed somewhat at a loss.

Fu Chen quickly clapped his hands lightly: "Alright, please calm down a bit, all three of you."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't set a proper order or agenda for the speakers."

"How about this, I suggest everyone take turns speaking according to their assigned numbers. Each person will have five minutes, is that alright?"

Programmer Cai Zhiyuan, wearing a plaid shirt, shook his head: "Compared to taking turns speaking, I prefer a more efficient way of discussion."

"I think the moderator should give a concluding speech first, set out the topics to be discussed, and limit the discussion to a certain framework."

"Then, those with strong opinions raise their hands to speak and add to the discussion."

"Those who have no opinion are perfectly free to remain silent."

Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreement: "That's right, that would be better."

Cao Haichuan, a seemingly relaxed and mature criminal investigation police officer, smiled and said, "I also agree with prioritizing efficiency. After all, I'm hungry."

Programmer Cai Zhiyuan continued, "I suggest that Fu Chen serve as the host and give the concluding remarks."

The others nodded in agreement.

Clearly, Fu Chen, as an online broadcaster, has excellent speaking skills, and his speech just now proved that he has certain hosting abilities.

Fu Chen considered for a moment, then nodded somewhat shyly: "Okay, thank you all for your support."

"Then let's tentatively agree on the following agenda:"
"I will spend about ten minutes summarizing and analyzing the problems we are currently facing, and raising a few key issues."

"After that, we'll take a break and see what kind of food or supplies we can exchange here."

"Reserve an hour for meals and free rest."

"How about we hold the formal discussion of the topic after dinner?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Cai Zhiyuan stood up and handed over a notebook and pen: "I just found this in the reading area."

Fu Chen reached out and took it: "Thank you, you've been a great help."

He quickly scribbled a few lines on his notebook, then, while organizing his thoughts, got down to business.

"First, based on the current intelligence and the rules read out on the big screen, it can be roughly determined that we are in a supernatural world that is difficult for science to explain."

"This place is called the 'New World,' and it consists of two parts: the 'Community' and the 'Arcade.'"

"Many people may have the same doubts as me, thinking 'Am I already dead?' or 'How can I escape and return to my original world?'"

"But I think from a rational point of view, we should first accept reality and live according to the rules here."

“If we happen to discover a way to return to our original world during our subsequent explorations, we can discuss it further.” Fu Chen paused slightly, and seeing that no one raised any objections, he continued, “Of the three main rules on the big screen, the ones that concerned me the most were those related to the ‘Corridor’.”

"Because these games are veritable death games, we might gain visa time from them, or we might die in them."

"Therefore, we currently need to solve three main problems:"
"First, we need to determine the prices in the community to ensure survival in the new world."

"Secondly, we need to review the rules of the 'Arcade' game as soon as possible. This will increase our chances of survival should we encounter a 'trial.' Of course, it would be even better if we could find the hidden criminals through some means."

"Third, within the community, we can propose new motions that may determine our future way of life."

"If we can come up with better proposals, we can make the whole community more cohesive, or benefit everyone through a better division of labor."

"These are the three proposals I've come up with based on the current situation and known rules that require optimal consideration. Does anyone have anything to add?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Player #3, Li Renshu, smiled and praised, "A very comprehensive and appropriate summary."

Lin Sizhi remembered that her original profession was a civil servant, which could also be seen from her appearance: she had almost no trace of makeup on her face, and gave people a neat and capable feeling.

Fu Chen then looked at Cao Haichuan and Lin Sizhi.

Cao Haichuan smiled and said, "I have no objection."

After careful consideration, Lin Sizhi nodded slightly: "Yes, that's very comprehensive. Even if there are other issues, they can't be figured out in a rush."

Fu Chen looked at the others and said, "Okay, let's stop here for now and take care of dinner."

Everyone immediately relaxed and went to exchange their food.

There is a dedicated area for exchanging supplies in the lobby.

There are machines here that resemble vending machines, from which you can clearly see a list of all the redeemable items.

After scanning the visa, the payment will be deducted.

However, what is deducted is not money, but 'visa time'.

There are many similar vending machines. Lin Sizhi went to one of them and quickly browsed the list.

All prices for goods are based on the visa processing time.
