Previously, the Luxury Fund amounted to around 370,000, and was used only once. Of this, 300,000 was spent on purchasing an Immunity Coupon, and 20,000 went towards other banquet expenses.

Since then, it has basically not been used again.

So, the Luxury Fund now has only about 50,000 remaining.

At this time, with the donation from Wang Yongxin, the Luxury Fund has returned to 210,000.

This amount is still not enough to purchase the next Immunity Coupon, let alone activate any new items.

Of course, there's no rush to buy an Immunity Coupon, as there's a 30-day cooldown period after the last use, roughly needing four more games before it can be purchased again.

But since the establishment of the Luxury Fund, there hasn't been any substantial replenishment.

This somewhat verifies Cai Zhiyuan's speculation.

The initial enthusiasm for donations when the Luxury Fund was first set up was actually a special situation and couldn't ensure everyone would remain this enthusiastic.

As time goes on, the willingness to donate to the Luxury Fund will only decrease.

Once it falls to just two or three people donating, they might stop due to perceived unfairness.

After the new proposal, Wang Yongxin took the lead in donating 160,000, undoubtedly a good thing for reactivating the Luxury Fund.

But this has made other players hesitant.

Should they also donate again?

At this time, Wang Yongxin spoke again.

"I know, whether to donate or not, everyone has their respective concerns.

"Therefore, I propose a 'cooling-off period' of three days, during which no one should donate to the Luxury Fund to avoid giving some players the impression of being 'forced to donate'.

"Afterwards, any donation can be done privately, without fanfare or creating any sense of competition.

"Whether to save or withdraw is entirely voluntary."

Li Renshu looked around, and no other players with considerable visa time expressed direct opposition.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, I agree with this approach as well.

"Whether to donate to the 'Luxury Fund' is a conflicting issue; if we don't donate, we won't be able to purchase the next Immunity Coupon or activate new items. However, frequently promoting donations gives the appearance of coercion.

"Therefore, I hope this matter can be normalized; without frequent advocacy, let everyone decide based on their own situation.

"Alright, everyone has worked hard today, go back and rest!"

...

The discussion on the proposal ended, and everyone dispersed, many seemingly troubled.

This is quite understandable, as even the most unaware individuals can sense the underlying implication of this proposal: the gap in discourse power among players will widen further.

But there is no choice.

To purchase an 'Immunity Coupon' or activate new props, a large amount of visa time must be saved, and this significant gap must be bridged by collective effort from the entire community.

That is why the five-person team approved this plan.

Since there is no better option, they can only implement it for a period and observe the situation.

In community matters, not everything can be perfect.

Lin Sizhi was about to return to the second floor when Li Renshu called him in the stairwell.

"Lawyer Lin, there's something I want to discuss with you privately.

"About the Recruitment process.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Lin Sizhi nodded and found a small room with Li Renshu, and they each took a seat.

Li Renshu seemed a bit troubled; this issue clearly made her feel rather bewildered.

"There is currently a vacancy in our community, but I haven't figured out how to handle the Recruitment.

"An important issue is that Officer Cao, being a policeman, holds an irreplaceable position in the eyes of others, offering a natural sense of security.

"So, many people would prefer Recruiting someone in a profession similar to Officer Cao.

"I asked some people privately, and they expressed similar views.

"However, finding someone with a similar profile in the game is highly unlikely.

"After all, based on our previous game experiences, people with similar professions are extremely rare.

"Moreover, even if we do find one, there might be an issue: if the person recruited is already an experienced player and also from a similar profession, they naturally have strong discourse power, which would destabilize the community structure.

"Since we have already included Brother Wang in the core group, and there's Wei Yinzhang waiting for his place in line, there's absolutely no way to allocate more discourse power to others.

"Therefore, perhaps using the old approach, directly Recruiting a younger player in a similar profession might be better.

"But this also brings new issues.

"For instance, when exactly to use the old Recruitment method and when to use recruitment through headhunting? We need to provide all players with a clear rule.

"So, I'd like to hear your opinion."

Lin Sizhi contemplated for a moment and said, "I think we can proceed this way:

"Recruitment using traditional methods will have a fixed cooldown period; while headhunting in the game, there's no guarantee of always finding suitable candidates.

"So, let's use both approaches.

"Once the cooldown period for the traditional method has ended, we can Recruit a new player from a particular profession using the traditional method.

"Our community's structure is quite stable now, so discourse power shouldn't be an issue.

If Recruitment is in cooldown, then we can scout for candidates in the game.

"Also, the headhunting rights can be appropriately expanded.

"Previously, the headhunting rights were restricted to me alone because, during the trial phase, we were unsure if the method would be effective.

"Now that it has proven effective, the rights can be expanded.

"Moreover, I cannot enter every game.

"We can choose an additional one or two individuals to be given headhunting rights. However, these individuals must be part of the core community and possess the ability to lead in games."

Li Renshu pondered, "Then it seems only Brother Wang fits the criteria."

Lin Sizhi shook his head, "Not necessarily. I think some individuals may not lack the ability to lead in games, perhaps they just haven't been given the right opportunities.

"For instance, Cai Zhiyuan and Wei Yinzhang, their potential in certain types of games is still uncertain.

"So, here's my suggestion.

"Let's proceed with the traditional Recruitment method this time.

"Simultaneously, we should inform all players that based on the upcoming or subsequent game performance, we will consider forming a new game core responsible for leading and managing game-time recruiting rights.

"Invite them to volunteer and compete.

"After all, our community should strive to have three leading cores. Without Officer Cao, the third core needs replenishment.

"If anyone truly desires headhunting rights, they should showcase their capabilities in the upcoming games."
