God's Imitator

Chapter 279: The New Proposal


Li Renshu said helplessly, "I've been mentally exhausted by the Imitator of the 'Shelter Game.'

'I know this might be a mistake, so I'm trying hard to convince myself, but it doesn't seem to be working well at the moment.'

Cai Zhiyuan considered for a while and said, "You mean you no longer trust the other communities.

'If before we could balance and cooperate with other communities with Officer Cao, achieving a mutually beneficial result, then the 'Shelter Game' and Officer Cao's death have made you inherently unwilling to trust the other communities again.

'After all, Officer Cao's strategy had no flaws in itself, yet it couldn't overcome the ugliness of human nature.

'You've started to lean more towards Wang Yongxin's method, facing those foolish communities that cannot cooperate and might betray at any moment, you'd rather squeeze out all their value and stop caring about their survival.

'Even knowing this is a mental attack from the Imitator, this change in thought has already occurred and is irreversible.'

Li Renshu nodded somewhat gloomily, "You could say that.

'Another crucial point is that Officer Cao is irreplaceable. The strategy of balance and cooperation must be personally implemented by him to have the highest success rate. Even if I think of the same strategy as he does, I cannot execute it to that extent.

'Sometimes, I can't even think of such a strategy.

'Therefore, whether from a subjective desire or feasibility standpoint, I have to start leaning towards Brother Wang's method.

'Of course, Lawyer Lin's method is better in most cases, but we can't count on him for everything.

'That would not only hinder the growth of others but also harm the community's ecosystem.

'Moreover, because Lawyer Lin can always use different strategies based on the actual situation of the game, his methods are sometimes lenient and sometimes ruthless, so it cannot be considered as a strategy from a specific position.

'Others simply can't learn it.'

Li Renshu paused and looked at Cai Zhiyuan, "What do you think about the trust and strategies for other communities? Can you persuade me to change this mindset?"

Cai Zhiyuan shook his head, "I can't, nor is it necessary.

'I believe the idea of mutual benefit is good, but if one only knows how to use this one strategy, then that strategy will become a weakness.

'I won't interfere with your thoughts.

'Even if one day after serious consideration, you decide to turn Community 17 into a purely survival-of-the-fittest community, I would only offer you advice and think of feasible plans. I wouldn't try to persuade you otherwise even once.'

Li Renshu stayed silent for a long time and nodded, "Thank you."

...

The next afternoon.

Li Renshu, Cai Zhiyuan, Lin Sizhi, Fu Chen, and Wang Yongxin gathered in a small room and took their seats.

Li Renshu said, "First, welcome Brother Wang to join us.

'No need for extra words, the reason for this meeting is mainly because Brother Wang wants to propose a new bill. Let's have a brief discussion to see if there are any issues.

'If there are no problems, we will seek the opinions of other players and start the voting.

'Brother Wang, go ahead.'

Wang Yongxin nodded and took the floor, "The reason I wanted to propose this bill is mainly for two considerations.

'First, everyone should try not to carry too much Visa Time on them.

'Second, while contributing as much as possible to the public funds, still ensure more work gets more pay.

'In the 'Fool's Game' and 'Shelter Game,' there are settings for distributing Visa Time based on percentages.

'This setting is clearly designed to target players who hoard too much Visa Time.

'Because these players have an extra advantage when encountering scenarios like the 'Matchmaking Game,' which require Visa Time to buy items in-game, the Imitator will naturally think of ways to target them using 'Contract Coupons' or 'Gold Coins.'

'So, I believe there is still a chance for similar rules to appear in future games.

'In that case, carrying too much Visa Time becomes a burden that affects strategy and reduces returns.

'Take the 'Shelter Game' as an example, if players donate half of their remaining Visa Time to the community before entering, although the amount of Gold Coins earned when leaving the game stays the same, the actual Visa Time received would be more.

'Furthermore, some games allocate advantageous roles based on the player's current Visa Time.

'And to be blunt, carrying too much Visa Time into a game means that once you die, it all goes to waste for the Imitator. Bringing less means that even if you die, it can be left for other players in the community.

'Therefore, we should keep our Visa Time at a 'not too much nor too little' level.

'After submitting the surplus Visa Time, as the community fund grows, it might unlock more special items or open new permissions.

'For instance, shortening the usage time of Immunity Coupons or increasing their quantity.

'Although this cannot be completely confirmed yet, it's a possibility worth trying.

'Of course, we shouldn't just 'confiscate' the extra Visa Time. It's best to treat the community fund as a kind of bank, where storage or withdrawal can be done at any time based on need.

'Since once the community's basic security fund reaches a certain amount, it can be redistributed to everyone, we can employ a similar mechanism to implement a 'bank' function.

'Therefore, I have primarily two bills in consideration.

'The first is using a progressive tax rate for community security fund contributions based on game earnings, in increments of 20,000 minutes of Visa Time.

'That is, below 20,000 is tax-free, 20,000 to 40,000 is taxed at 5%, 40,000 to 60,000 is taxed at 10%, and above 60,000 is taxed at 15%, capped at this rate.

'The second is a supplementary bill for the community security fund and luxury fund.

'Originally, the community security fund had a setting of 'redistributing after exceeding 100,000 for every additional 120,000,' which I think can be removed and replaced with a 'free withdrawal' limit for all players.

'When a player's current remaining Visa Time is below 50,000, they can freely withdraw some Visa Time from these two funds without anyone else's consent or authorization.

'The specific amount that can be withdrawn is: 'The player's contributed Visa Time / Total Visa Time contributed by all players × Current fund remaining Visa Time × 90%.'

'In simple terms, first calculate the player's contribution ratio of Visa Time, then take their proportionate share of the current remaining Visa Time, but multiply it by 90%.

'For example, if a fund's total is 100,000, and a player contributed 10,000, and the fund currently has 50,000 remaining, then they can withdraw 5000×90%=4500 minutes of Visa Time.

'Of course, withdrawals cannot be repeated.

'For instance, after this player withdraws the 4500, their contribution value to this fund resets to zero.

'Through this method, players can deposit their extra Visa Time into the luxury fund and withdraw it when needed.

'Of course, apart from the mandatory tax, all other actions remain entirely voluntary.

'However, I believe that as time passes, more and more players will be willing to store all their extra time, allowing our community fund to grow rapidly.'
