Wei Yinzhang pondered carefully for a moment and said, "Perhaps we could try bypassing the rules and give it another shot?

"At present, the community's definition of the 'Community Fund' is indeed very strict.

"First, this money cannot be managed by individuals, it must be managed by others within the community.

"Second, both the deposit and withdrawal of the 'Community Fund' must involve risks and costs.

"Maybe we could try having several players form different groups or partnerships to jointly manage a fund, with each making their own deposits and withdrawals.

"Players can choose their most trusted partners to form these groups, preventing situations where the deposit time they put in is overdrawn by others.

"Or perhaps we could try increasing the interest rate for deposits and withdrawals, and maybe once it reaches a certain level, the community will allow it."

Wang Yongxin shook his head, "I don't quite agree with this proposal.

"Because it's essentially no different and could potentially lead to other issues."

It is clear that even if this method works, it will certainly exacerbate cliques.

Players would form deposit and withdrawal groups with those they are already close to and trust, and over time, more apparent small factions would emerge.

The most important point is that racking one's brain to help other players deposit without loss is not conducive to the growth of the fund within the community, nor does it align with the interests of the five-member group.

After some consideration, Li Renshu said, "Then let's proceed directly to a vote.

"Everyone just needs to vote according to their genuine thoughts.

"If you think this proposal is necessary, vote in favor.

"If you think this proposal makes you uncomfortable, vote against it.

"If the proposal is rejected, then we will continue with the existing rules."

Everyone nodded, "Alright, then let's just vote directly."

Li Renshu returned to the Community Management Office to submit the proposal, and this time, the proposal was approved.

[A player has submitted a proposal, and it has been reviewed and approved by the community.]

[Within the next 1 hour, all players please vote anonymously at the 'Community Management Office' or through your personal computer.]

[If this proposal receives more than half of the support, it will be implemented as a basic rule.]

[Proposal 1: New 'Community Security Fund' supplementary rule (progressive tax rate).]

[When players transfer visa time obtained from the game to the 'Community Security Fund', a progressive tax rate will be applied: 5% for portions between 20,000 to 40,000, 10% for portions between 40,000 to 60,000, and 15% for portions over 60,000.]

[Proposal 2: Reduction of the 'Community Security Fund' rule.]

[Cancel the rule that states 'for every additional 120,000 over 100,000 in the Community Security Fund, it is to be evenly returned to all players'.]

[Proposal 3: New 'Fund Withdrawal Rule'.]

[1. When a player's remaining visa time falls below 50,000, they can withdraw visa time from the 'Community Security Fund' and 'Luxury Fund' according to the amount equal to 'personal deposited visa time / total player deposited visa time × current fund remaining visa time × 90%', without the need for others' consent or authorization.]

[2. This amount is fixed and can only be withdrawn once. After withdrawal, the contribution value resets. Re-deposited visa time will be recalculated.]

After submitting, Li Renshu returned to the hall again.

"I've divided this proposal into three separate proposals to be submitted, and you can decide which specific proposal to approve.

"Proposal 1 is about adopting a progressive tax rate for future game earnings.

"Proposal 2 cancels the refund rule of the Community Security Fund, and Proposal 3 adds a fund withdrawal rule.

"You can view Proposals 2 and 3 as bundled rules, which means the 'free withdrawal' scheme replaces the original 'average refund' scheme.

"To emphasize, these rules do not change the nature of the two funds: the 'Security Fund' is still a mandatory tax, and the 'Luxury Fund' is still a voluntary donation.

"Everyone should decide whether to deposit or withdraw visa time based on their actual situation.

"Of course, for players with less visa time, the change in the 'Security Fund' is more important: because originally it was not allowed to withdraw, now part of the paid tax can be withdrawn."

Clearly, this time the proposal did not quickly reach a consensus, and the countdown on the big screen continued to jump, with players each contemplating.

After a while, people gradually stood up and walked towards the 'Community Management Office'.

It wasn't until the countdown reached only 10 minutes remaining that the voting was finally completed.

[Voting has been completed.]

[Next, the anonymous voting results will be announced.]

[Proposal 1: New 'Community Security Fund' supplementary rule (progressive tax rate).]

[In favor: 11 votes]

[Against: 0 votes]

[The supplementary rule for the 'Community Security Fund' (progressive tax rate) is established.]

[Proposal 2: Reduction of the 'Community Security Fund' rule.]

[In favor: 8 votes]

[Against: 3 votes]

[The reduction of the 'Community Security Fund' rule is established.]

[Proposal 3: New 'Fund Withdrawal Rule'.]

[In favor: 7 votes]

[Against: 4 votes]

[The new 'Fund Withdrawal Rule' is established.]

Seeing these results, the players in the hall remained calm, without the small cheers observed previously.

Clearly, this was an expected outcome, but not everyone felt comfortable or satisfied with it.

The five-member group already held 5 votes, and at the same time, Wang Yongxin still held the binding votes of Yang Yuting and Xu Tong, and other players in the community like Zheng Jie or Zhou Guifen would likely agree with Li Renshu's decisions.

Of course, as it was an anonymous vote, there were still players who would cast against votes to express their inner thoughts.

But since there wasn't a significant opposition within the community, the against votes ultimately couldn't reach a sufficient number.

Either way, the new proposal eventually became part of the community's rules.

After pondering for a moment, Li Renshu said, "I understand everyone might have some doubts about this proposal, but this is the best solution we've come up with for now.

"Let's have a trial run for some time, if any issues arise, we can amend it promptly.

"Moreover, everyone needn't worry; we are still a community that tries its best to take care of the weak, encouraging them not to blindly donate their visa time to the 'Luxury Fund'. As always, act within your means."

Immediately, Wang Yongxin expressed, "Since I was the one who proposed this, of course, I must take direct responsibility.

"As I mentioned earlier, I think carrying around 50,000 to 80,000 visa time is enough, anything more may put you at a disadvantage in some games where visa time is calculated on a percentage basis.

"Therefore, I will deposit all the visa time over 80,000.

"Of course, this is just my personal decision."

After speaking, Wang Yongxin went to the vending machine to complete the donation.

The last time he checked, he had over 240,000 left, and at this point, he chose to donate 160,000 visa time into the 'Luxury Fund'.
