Li Renshu wasn't too surprised, because this number was within her expectations.

From Wang Yongxin's perspective, this was indeed the best choice.

So far, Wang Yongxin had earned nearly 400,000 in visa time from the game.

Of course, one must consider deductions for community welfare and various daily miscellaneous expenses, as well as natural consumption over time.

But no matter how you look at it, there's still over 300,000 left.

Although this fund is called the Luxury Fund, Wang Yongxin's action at this moment is not consumption but investment.

For business people, investment is absolutely essential.

Even though Wang Yongxin was the first to propose this plan, if he only donated 50,000, while others contributed 20,000 or 30,000, then the credit would mostly fall on Li Renshu.

After all, Li Renshu is the one who actually formulated and promoted this proposal.

Therefore, Wang Yongxin had to be the first to donate, and it needed to be a number that would shock everyone to achieve the desired effect.

If you're going to win people over with money, you either do it thoroughly or not at all.

At times like this, being stingy and petty would be worse than not donating at all.

If Wang Yongxin only donated about 50,000, it would not have a shocking effect on others.

After all, everyone made quite a bit in the last game.

As for numbers like 60,000, 70,000, or 90,000, they are ultimately still single digits, so why not add a bit more to round it up to 100,000?

The shock value of a two-digit number is far greater than a single digit.

And judging from everyone's reactions, his generous act did indeed have the desired impact.

If Li Renshu's small circle couldn't even scrape together 100,000, then there would inevitably be some subtle shifts in the balance of discourse.

Li Renshu thought for a moment, "I'll donate 20,000, to express my goodwill."

Cao Haichuan also said generously, "I'll donate 20,000 too, but I have a request. Can you cover my cigarettes each time you use the fund?"

Cai Zhiyuan didn't think too much about it, "I'll donate 50,000."

Fu Chen looked at them in shock, "Weren't we supposed to contribute within our means? Why is everyone getting so competitive? Then I'll donate 30,000!"

Cai Zhiyuan looked at him, "Contributing within your means is mainly directed at you."

Fu Chen helplessly said, "I actually planned to donate this much, okay!"

Clearly, these four donated close to their feasible limits, but their reasons varied.

Li Renshu, Cao Haichuan, and Cai Zhiyuan's donations were more from a sense of managerial responsibility since they held most of the community's power and had to take on more obligations.

No matter how painful, they had to grit their teeth and donate.

But Fu Chen was different; he lacked such a clear consciousness and was purely there to contribute.

Lin Sizhi quickly said, "Since President Wang donated 100,000, I'll donate 90,000."

Once again, everyone expressed amazement and cheers.

Wang Yongxin gave a nod of gratitude towards Lin Sizhi.

He also took a moment to observe Lin Sizhi's expression, trying to discern whether the donation was his own idea or prompted by the others.

But Lin Sizhi's expression revealed nothing.

Wang Yongxin knew perfectly well that Lin Sizhi could have easily donated 100,000 too, adding just one more thousand wouldn't have been an issue.

But Lin Sizhi intentionally donated only 90,000 to let Wang Yongxin retain the unique status of having donated the most.

Anyway, this enthusiastic and generous round of donations quickly amassed a considerable amount of funds in the Luxury Fund.

It even made many people wonder if this wasn't a bit too wasteful.

But considering they could access the fund without contributing, it seemed like an excellent proposal.

Yang Yuting, after some thought, said, "I'll donate 10,000 too, but this 10,000 should be credited to Brother Wang since he helped me win it in 'Wealthy Dynasty'."

Qin Yao said meekly, "Then I'll also..."

But many people stopped her before she could finish.

"Okay, okay! 'Within your means' is mainly said for people like you!"

"Yes, you should keep your visa time and use it gradually."

Everyone emphasized that the weaker members should not donate their limited visa time to the Luxury Fund.

Wang Yongxin and Lin Sizhi could donate more because they earned more; their ability was obvious.

What does donating 100,000 mean? After a couple more games, they could earn it back; if they're lucky, just one game would do.

In this scenario, their willingness to donate is certainly a good thing.

But if weaker community members donate as well, it might lead to situations where they can't earn more visa time later, causing awkward situations for others if they offer or don't offer help.

Jiang He joyfully raised her hand, "I'll donate 50,000 too!"

Everyone looked at her, temporarily speechless.

Li Renshu half-joked, "Did you think 'within your means' didn't apply to you?"

But Jiang He was much more determined than Qin Yao, "It's okay, I've made up my mind, I'll donate 50,000. I want to contribute to everyone, and it's also a kind of motivation for myself!"

Everyone looked at each other and didn't say much.

If she wanted to donate, that's her choice. Advising once showed intention, but advising twice would be impolite.

Zhou Guifen suggested, "How about I donate a little too? Just 100, to express goodwill."

Everyone agreed this was a good idea, so Qin Yao, Zhou Guifen, Xu Tong, and Zheng Jie each donated 100. Despite being among the more protected weaker members of the community, they decided to donate a little for good luck.

All donations were soon completed by everyone.

[Starting balance of 'Community Luxury Fund': 370,400.]

Seeing this number, everyone marveled.

"Such extravagance!"

Using so much visa time to buy luxury goods would make other communities envious.

But at that moment, a new message appeared on the large screen.

[Detected that the total value of various community public funds exceeds 300,000; the product list in the vending machine has been updated. Please check it out.]

Seeing the message, everyone paused.

"Huh? An unexpected bonus?"

Li Renshu carefully read the message, noting it mentioned 'total value of various public funds' exceeding 300,000, meaning if Community 17's welfare and luxury funds combined reached this amount, it counted.

Possibly, if other funds existed, they'd count too.

But it must be a community-controlled fund, not someone's private asset.

People like Lin Sizhi and Wang Yongxin probably had 300,000 in visa time privately, but there was no such notification.

Everyone hurried to check the vending machine.

The product list had indeed been updated with many new items like more food varieties, clothing, daily necessities, luxury goods, and medical supplies.

Additionally, there was a special item never seen before.

Xu Tong pointed at the unique entry and exclaimed, "Look at this!"

[Immunity Coupon]

[After use, it can protect the target player of the community for 24 hours, offsetting one instant death penalty during this period.]

[Price: 300,000 minutes of visa time]

[Only one Immunity Coupon can exist in the community at any one time, and it can only be repurchased 30 days after it's consumed.]

[When the community owns an Immunity Coupon, any member deemed to be at high death risk in the current game will have their situation live broadcasted on the large screen by Walkway.]
