Chapter 93 Proposal for Screening Copycats

A little earlier.

Wang Yongxin glanced at the clock on the wall of the hall. A long time had passed since the four people in the community entered the "blind date game," but there was still no sign of them coming out.

"Will this game last this long?"

Wang Yongxin felt inexplicably anxious.

He wasn't worried about the four people dying in the game, because even if they did, the game's settlement information should appear on the big screen, and their bracelets should fall into the lobby.

Since none of these things have happened, it means the game is still going on.

He just really dislikes this feeling of powerlessness.

Wang Yongxin got up and went to the rest area not far away.

Li Renshu is quietly reading a book here.

"Do you have time? I'd like to talk to you." Wang Yongxin gently tapped the coffee table in front of Li Renshu.

Lee In-sook looked up and immediately replied, "Of course."

She put the book aside and went with Wang Yongxin to the third floor, where they randomly found a relatively quiet room.

"Since we're all smart people, I'll just speak frankly."

"Now, between you and Fu Chen, who's in charge?"

After considering for a moment, Lee In-sook said, "You can assume it's me for now."

Wang Yongxin was quite satisfied with the answer: "Very good, I think so too."

He could vaguely tell that Lee In-sook had spent some time thinking, but not about the question itself; rather, she was considering whether or not she should give a straightforward answer.

Finally, Li Renshu gave a relatively straightforward answer, which, for Wang Yongxin, was already considered sincere.

"Okay, then I'll just get straight to the point."

"I have a different opinion on the current proposals in the community."

"I know that our ideas may be difficult to reconcile. For me, the most realistic approach is to try to form a second small group to confront each other directly."

"But I am also well aware that the chances of success are very low, and it would also pose a great risk to the community and to me personally."

"Therefore, I still hope to find a compromise that is acceptable to both sides through this kind of direct dialogue."

Lee In-sook's expression was calm: "Of course, that's exactly what I hoped for."

"So, which specific bill do you disagree with?"

Wang Yongxin shook his head slightly: "It's not that I have a different opinion on a specific proposal, but rather on the line of thought behind your proposal."

“I think that all the proposals you have put forward so far, taken individually, are not particularly problematic.”

"But the problem is that all of these proposals are of the 'basic living allowance' type."

What about "efficiency" type proposals? "Security" type proposals? Or even "proactive attack" type proposals?

“There is a high probability that there is a copycat in our community, but so far, almost everyone has tacitly avoided mentioning it, and no proposals have been put forward regarding ‘killing copycats’.”

"Why? I don't quite understand."

Lee In-sook countered, "So, how do you think we should find this copycat and kill him?"

Wang Yongxin shrugged and said matter-of-factly, "Isn't this simple?"

"A copycat can gain full access to a player's visa time by killing them in the game."

"In other words, a player with a normal visa duration is not necessarily innocent; their game may not have been selected by the game gallery yet. However, a player whose visa duration significantly exceeds the normal in-game earnings is definitely a copycat."

"We only need to draft a bill that forces everyone to regularly disclose their remaining visa time, and the anomaly will become obvious."

"In addition, we can draft another bill to execute copycat offenders directly through a majority vote."

"Today's broadcast already mentioned that players can kill copycats in the game and obtain all of their visa time. So, if we kill copycats in the community, can we also take a share of their visa time?"

"Whether for safety or for profit, copycats in our community must die."

"Don't tell me none of the five of you thought of such a simple method." Lee In-sook nodded: "Of course we thought of it, and more than one of us did."

"I have also had private discussions about this issue with other people."

"But the final conclusion is that similar proposals should not only not be put forward, but should even be avoided in public discussion."

"I even had an argument with Officer Cao about this."

Wang Yongxin was taken aback, puzzled: "Why? Do you think the community won't pass a resolution like 'voting to execute players'?"
"But we'll only know that after it's submitted and rejected."

Li Renshu shook her head slightly, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness.

"Brother Wang, you can think like this when managing a company: as the boss, you can fire whoever you want. But you can't do that when managing a community."

"We can't investigate everything, can we? What if we actually find something?"

Wang Yongxin frowned even more: "What do you mean? Do you already know the identity of the copycat, and that he's a very important person?"

Lee In-sook waved her hand: "Of course not. This might be a little hard for you to understand. I'll explain it slowly."

"First of all, do you think that 'copycats exist in the community' is an unchangeable underlying rule of the new world?"

"In other words, if we kill a copycat, is it possible that the arcade will continue to assign us a new copycat?"

"For example, by shoving someone in during recruitment, or by directly notifying someone who wasn't originally a copycat on their personal computer to become a copycat?"

Wang Yongxin paused for a moment, then nodded after a brief silence.

You're right.

"Highly likely, no, you could even say 100% likely."

The group had been living in the new world for some time and had gained a relatively deep understanding of its rules.

The new world is not a utopia; this is a consensus among everyone.

Since the arcade believes that it is necessary to hold life-or-death games regularly to clean up the trash and sinners, will the arcade allow players to kill all the copycats?

Obviously it is impossible.

If the arcade is willing, it can immediately select another batch after a group of copycats dies.

As long as players exist, copycats will always exist.

Because copycats are chosen from among the players.

The idea of ​​finding and killing all copycats to create an absolute safe zone is essentially still rooted in the mindset that "the new world can be a utopia."

Lee In-sook continued, "So I think there's no problem with 'confirming the identity of the copycat,' but we must be cautious about 'killing the copycat.'"

"Copycats are human too; some are smart, some are foolish, some are kind, and some are evil."

"Only those heinous copycats who only think about killing innocent people are the targets we must kill."

"If it is a relatively kind and law-abiding copycat, even if he is also killing people through a life-or-death game, as long as the destruction is within a controllable range, we cannot rashly kill him."

"Because if we kill him, what if an even more cunning and evil one comes along? Wouldn't that be troublesome?"

"For relatively kind and law-abiding copycats, or some simple-minded and easily controlled copycats, our best option is to try to cooperate and let them occupy the copycat slots, so that more dangerous copycats are not allowed to enter the arcade."

"If possible, we could even extract key information about the next game from him in advance, which would greatly improve our survival rate."

After considering for a moment, Wang Yongxin nodded slightly: "You're right."

"But since you also agree that we should confirm the identity of the copycat as soon as possible, then my method is still feasible, right?"
"Let everyone publish their remaining visa validity periods and find suspicious individuals. Then, we can negotiate with them to establish a mutually beneficial cooperation model. If they refuse to cooperate, we'll consider killing them."

"No matter what, the initiative is on our side."

Li Renshu looked at him and said, "Brother Wang, think about it again."

"If you put yourself in the shoes of the copycat and consider the scenario from their perspective, you will understand."

This time, Wang Yongxin thought about it for a relatively long time.

Finally, he sighed silently: "Well, in terms of the outcome, this method is indeed not very controllable."
