After some introductions, everyone generally understood the game mechanics.
In short, it involves using methods like 'work' and 'investment' to earn as much visa time as possible.
Additionally, Wealthy Conglomerate players and those in management positions have some extra benefits, such as gaining additional income through taxes.
Of course, these two identities aren't set in stone.
'Management' is selected from wealthy players in their adulthood and old age. As long as a player accumulates enough wealth, they have a chance to enter management.
And as long as they can secure enough votes in management, they can transform their community from 'Commoners' to a 'Wealthy Conglomerate.'
Of course, many rules are still unclear and need further validation in the game.
Luo Wei looked at the big screen with great interest. As an actuary, she considered herself an absolute genius, understanding these rules would be no problem.
The game type also suited her taste.
However, finding the optimal strategy from the rules still required some time.
Qin Yao was surprised: "They specially set up a 'Foreign Area', are they encouraging us to leave the game?"
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head slightly: "Encouragement might not be the right word. From the current situation analysis, the rule for leaving looks simple—you just need to earn 100,000, and you can escape, but the actual execution is somewhat harsh.
"You need to consider two issues:
"First, other players won't let you run away. The management will definitely set a high departure tax.
"Second, suppose you are management and have earned a lot of money; there's no reason for you to escape. Staying means you can continue to earn more money.
Qin Yao nodded: "Hmm, indeed."
After seriously thinking about the rules, Lin Sizhi looked at Cai Zhiyuan: "Do you have any thoughts?"
Cai Zhiyuan was still carefully reading the rules: "Not yet."
Lin Sizhi glanced at Community 12: "Then I'll head to Community 12 first to see if I can attempt some cooperation."
Cai Zhiyuan nodded: "Alright."
In Community 12, there were two acquaintances, namely Zhou Rong and Zhou Guifen.
Both were players that Lin Sizhi had met before in the 'Matchmaking Game.'
Zhou Guifen had even performed bel canto in a talent show before.
"Hello, nice to see you again."
Lin Sizhi stood at a not too close but not too distant position from the four, speaking in a friendly tone:
"Interested in cooperating? From the game's rules, there's an optimal solution for 'all players to benefit.' As Wealthy Conglomerate players, you can gain the most, but first, you need to make some crucial decisions carefully."
Zhou Guifen seemed very interested, and an eager expression appeared on her face, the words "Sure" almost coming out of her mouth in the next second.
But before she could speak, the player with the name 'Fan Zehui' on the identity card stepped slightly forward, blocking her behind.
"Thank you for your offer, Mr. Lin. But we'd like to think about the game's optimal strategy ourselves, sorry about that."
"If we have any intention of cooperating, I'll be sure to reach out to you."
The words were polite, but the attitude was firm.
Lin Sizhi didn't mind, simply nodded: "No problem."
Returning to the midst of the three in Community 17, Qin Yao was somewhat surprised: "Did they refuse to cooperate? So straightforwardly?"
Just then, a player from Community 4 also approached Fan Zehui.
This was a female player, with the image of a career woman, but her attitude was quite friendly.
[Community 4 - Han Mengying]
[Identity: Commoners (Management)]
[Age: 40 years (Adult)]
[Wealth: 5,000 minutes of visa time]
"Hello, you three!
"Fan Zehui and Zhou Rong, right? Nice to meet you.
"The three of us are part of the 'management' in the first round of the game, would you like to join us in the Management Room to examine the specifics of tax rate adjustments?
"After all, tax rate adjustments involve the interests of all management, and it might be the most important rule in the game, yet the introduction had many unclear areas."
Faced with Han Mengying's invitation, Fan Zehui hesitated a bit but eventually nodded: "Alright."
After speaking, he took Zhou Rong and headed with Han Mengying towards the glass room, also known as the 'Management Room.'
Qin Yao was a bit surprised: "Huh? They just agreed like that! Lawyer Lin should be more famous among players than Community 4, right?"
Luo Wei thought for a moment: "Perhaps it's because of the different approach?
"Starting directly with rules might seem too purposeful.
"And Community 4's Han Mengying is a woman, appears non-threatening, and began with something more approachable like checking out the Management Room, making her approach seem more friendly."
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head indifferently: "It has nothing to do with what was talked about.
"The thing is, Lawyer Lin is too famous, and players from Community 12 witnessed Lawyer Lin's demeanor in the 'Matchmaking Game,' instinctively feeling intimidated by him."
Qin Yao was somewhat puzzled: "Are they afraid of being tricked by Lawyer Lin? But Lawyer Lin previously showcased an absolute good guy image in the 'Matchmaking Game,' didn't he?"
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head: "In such games, you can't fully discern if someone is a 'good person' or a 'bad person,' you can only vaguely discern if they are 'smart' or 'dumb.'
"Relying on the goodwill of others isn't dependable.
"Although Lawyer Lin did save many in the 'Matchmaking Game,' many people believe he was also doing it to save himself, not necessarily showing kindness to all players.
"Quite the opposite, his demonstrated intellect will instinctively make several players hesitant, making collaboration challenging.
"Like a deity who can easily dictate your fate, no matter how benevolent they appear, you should maintain a certain distance."
Qin Yao thought for a moment: "Then should we send someone else instead?"
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head: "No need, swapping personnel would make them think it's just a puppet sent by Lawyer Lin, leading to the same result."
He glanced at the badge on Luo Wei's chest. Currently, Luo Wei was the only adult player and also a management member in Community 17.
"Luo Wei, why don't you go and see what's happening in the Management Room, get a grasp of the detailed rules, and listen to what they're discussing?
"If they try to kick you out, there's no need to engage with them."
Luo Wei nodded in agreement and then walked towards the Management Room, using her Identity Card to enter.
Once Luo Wei was out of sight, Cai Zhiyuan suggested: "Let's go check out other facilities too.
"From the current observations, Community 12 is less intelligent than expected, whereas Community 4 is smarter than anticipated.
"Lawyer Lin, do you think Community 12 will be deceived?"
