Li Renshu looked at everyone: "Actually, we've discussed almost everything. Let's vote directly.

"Should we do a show of hands or use an anonymous community vote?"

Everyone said: "A show of hands will do."

Many people already had an answer in mind, and it wasn't something that would particularly offend anyone, so there was no need for an anonymous vote.

Li Renshu nodded: "Alright, those voting for Fu Chen, please raise your hand."

She raised her own hand first and then looked around, finding that besides her, three people raised their hands: Wang Yongxin, Yang Yuting, and Zheng Jie.

"What about those voting for Officer Cao?"

No one raised a hand.

Of course, this didn't mean that most people didn't recognize Cao Haichuan; he just didn't have particularly outstanding features compared to the other two candidates.

"And those voting for me?"

Li Renshu looked around and found that actually five people raised their hands.

They were Jiang He, Cai Zhiyuan, Fu Chen, Xu Tong, and Zhou Guifen.

Those who didn't raise their hands all three times naturally abstained.

Li Renshu and Fu Chen essentially voted for each other, with Li Renshu having one more vote in the end.

From the voting pattern and the suddenness of the discussion, it was clear that this vote had not been organized and deliberated in advance; everyone voted based on their first instinct.

This result could have some element of chance.

Li Renshu hesitated: "Since it's just one vote different, should we have everyone vote again obligatorily?"

Fu Chen shook his head: "No need, I think it's fine for you to manage the Immunity Coupon, I'm at ease."

Since Fu Chen himself had made this statement, others couldn't insist.

Li Renshu thought seriously: "Alright, if everyone really wishes for me to manage this Immunity Coupon, then I must explain to everyone the principles I will use when applying this coupon.

"If anyone disagrees, then let's change the person immediately.

"My principle is that when saving people with the Immunity Coupon, I won't differentiate between the strong or weak; it will be used on whoever faces a clear risk of death first.

"Of course, within one month of the coupon being used, everyone can reduce their risk of death by minimizing game participation and adopting a more cautious game strategy.

"When two people face a life-threatening risk simultaneously, and only one can be saved, I will choose to save the person who is more important and contributes more to the community.

"Besides that, there are certain specific situations in which I will not save someone.

"If a person, to some extent, undermines the stability and unity of the community, acts arbitrarily without following team strategies leading themselves into danger, or if there is clear betrayal during games, in these cases, I will not save them."

Everyone nodded: "Mm, makes sense."

For these "not saving" situations, there would definitely be some subjective judgment involved.

For example, what actions exactly undermine the stability and unity of the community? How to determine arbitrary actions and non-compliance with team strategies? What constitutes clear acts of betrayal?

There is indeed some gray area.

As long as Li Renshu wishes, she can obscure or exaggerate things.

Just like proposing a motion: the gray area is precisely a manifestation of power.

But there's no help for it, as this subjective judgment is exactly why someone was selected to manage this Immunity Coupon, it's unavoidable.

No one objected, so the choice for who manages the Immunity Coupon was settled, and it was Li Renshu.

Li Renshu looked at Wang Yongxin again: "Then for the two veto votes, one certainly has to go to Brother Wang, after all, a third of this coupon's funds came from him.

"As for the other vote, originally it should have undoubtedly gone to Lawyer Lin, but since Lawyer Lin doesn't want it, does anyone have other candidates?"

After Li Renshu received the right to use the Immunity Coupon, power was actually further concentrated.

Of course, from Li Renshu's response, she seemed more inclined for Fu Chen to manage the coupon, not wanting too much power concentrated on herself, as it might be overwhelming.

But there's no help for it, since the vote decided, that outcome had to be accepted.

In this situation, one veto vote must go to Wang Yongxin, for whatever reason.

But the other vote was problematic.

Originally, Lin Sizhi was seen as the best candidate, but he didn't want the role himself.

Even though quite a few people, including Wang Yongxin, voted for Fu Chen earlier, they were more inclined to let Fu Chen get the right to use the coupon, not the veto.

And even if Fu Chen were given the veto, it would be meaningless, since with his character, he likely wouldn't use this power.

Giving the veto to Cao Haichuan or Cai Zhiyuan would lead to even more power concentration.

Li Renshu looked at Lin Sizhi: "Lawyer Lin, if you don't want the veto, can you appoint someone yourself, or give a suggestion?"

Lin Sizhi thought a while: "Then let's give it to Qin Yao."

Qin Yao: "Ah? Me?"

Li Renshu thought, nodded with satisfaction: "Mm, not bad, then it's Qin Yao."

With Qin Yao looking baffled, this matter was settled.

These two veto votes respectively represented the interests of different groups outside of the small group of five.

Wang Yongxin's veto vote, apart from representing himself, also represented Yang Yuting, Xu Tong, whom he was closely associated with, and those who earned more visa time.

There was still a need for a representative of the weaker people.

Qin Yao, Zhou Guifen, Zheng Jie, and others who needed more care were also part of the community; jointly holding a veto representing the weaker ones could also play a balancing role.

For this outcome, Jiang He was also pleased.

"A perfect result! Shall we go vote now?"

With two of the three managing the Immunity Coupon being women, this was a result Jiang He was delighted to see, even if she wasn't one of them.

Soon, everyone passed the motion vote and then spent 300,000 minutes of visa time from the Luxury Fund to purchase an Immunity Coupon.

This coupon didn't have a physical form, and it was very convenient to use: Li Renshu could at any time, any place, verbally apply the Immunity Coupon to any community player, and it would take effect with a second confirmation.

It's not possible to use it covertly, as all players can check the coupon's usage records.

If the choice of who managed the Immunity Coupon was unsatisfactory, everyone could also make changes through a motion.

Having the right to use this coupon was a significant power, but Li Renshu had to be cautious, because using it erroneously would cause the political reputation she painstakingly built to collapse entirely, leaving her with none of her previously held power.

...

Afterwards, everyone got together and sorted out an expense list for the Luxury Fund.

This included the costs for tonight's dinner, which in addition to the lavish meal, also included the fine wine and champagne that Wang Yongxin had been longing for;

Additionally, special allowances were allocated for each person's unique needs, allowing purchases—like Cao Haichuan buying some good cigarettes, Yang Yuting buying cosmetic products she couldn't bear to buy before, Cai Zhiyuan buying two sets of high-end sportswear, and Zheng Jie getting a couple of expensive tea cakes.

In short, most people bought a few things they usually couldn't bring themselves to buy.

Actually, if not for the Immunity Coupon, people might have spent even more lavishly.

But considering that buying the Immunity Coupon already cost 300,000, everyone held back somewhat, ultimately spending just over 20,000 visa time.

Then, everyone enthusiastically began preparing dinner.
