Soon, the detailed content of the three proposals appeared on the large screen.

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

[All members are requested to enter the 'Community Management Office' or vote anonymously on their personal computers within the next hour.]

[If the proposal receives majority support, it will be implemented as a basic rule.]

[Proposal 1: New supplementary rules for the 'Community Security Fund'.]

[Proposal 2: New rules for 'Medical Supplies Management'.]

[Proposal 3: New recruit - a young male surgeon.]

Each proposal outlined various details, but since Li Renshu had already explained them thoroughly, everyone quickly skimmed through without any questions.

People began entering the Community Management Office one by one to vote.

[Voting has been completed.]

[Announcing the results of the anonymous vote next:]

[Proposal 1: New supplementary rules for the 'Community Security Fund'.]

[Agree: 11 votes.]

[Disagree: 0 votes.]

[The supplementary rules for the 'Community Security Fund' have been established.]

[The portion of the gains not converted to visa time will be converted according to the new rules.]

[Proposal 2: New rules for 'Medical Supplies Management'.]

[Agree: 11 votes.]

[Disagree: 0 votes.]

[The rules for 'Medical Supplies Management' have been established.]

[Players are requested to quickly submit proposals and vote to elect the 'Medical Supplies Manager'.]

[Proposal 3: New recruit - a young male surgeon]

[Agree: 8 votes.]

[Disagree: 3 votes.]

[The vote for the new recruit - a young male surgeon has passed, and the community will screen and integrate a relatively suitable new player within a certain range based on this requirement.]

Seeing the voting results, a small cheer erupted in the hall.

"Wow! Unanimous!"

"Really? It's so orderly this time?"

"It makes sense, as Renshu's proposal was perfectly crafted, there's no reason not to agree."

Most people seemed very happy.

Li Renshu also had a smile on her face, but she humbly said, "Actually, this is the result of everyone's collective wisdom, I just spent a bit more time compiling everyone's opinions.

"Opposition to the new recruit is fine, after all, everyone has different expectations for new members.

"However, since this proposal has been finalized, I hope everyone can welcome the new member with openness and inclusiveness, okay?"

Everyone nodded: "No problem!"

With the three proposals passed, everyone felt a sense of relief, their bodies felt lighter.

As for why a 'Medical Supplies Manager' wasn't elected yet, the reason was simple: everyone knew this position was definitely for the new member, waiting for him to arrive before voting.

"Everyone worked hard, rest early!"

"Thanks!"

"Good night, everyone."

Everyone stood up, said goodnight to each other, and headed up different staircases to the second floor to rest.

...

Lin Sizhi had just reached the staircase corner when someone called him from behind.

"Lawyer Lin, wait a moment!"

Lin Sizhi turned to see Qin Yao.

"Hmm? What's up?"

Qin Yao seemed a bit hesitant: "There is something, but I'm not sure if I should ask you."

Lin Sizhi thought for a moment: "Let's just find a place to chat."

They went to the third floor and found an empty room.

The community was quite large, both the small main building and the auxiliary structures around the community far exceeded the daily needs of the 12 people.

In daily life, about ninety percent of the community was unoccupied.

The third floor was the same; the complex small rooms were very private and soundproof, almost as if they were designed to encourage private conversations.

Qin Yao hesitated, then said: "Here's the thing, earlier Yang Yuting said... well, her words were kind of complex. I didn't quite understand, but it was something like forming an alliance to vote against something when necessary."

Lin Sizhi nodded: "So, your question is?"

Qin Yao seemed surprised: "Huh? Isn't that a problem? Someone in the community is forming cliques!

"Lawyer Lin, why do you seem not at all surprised."

Lin Sizhi gave a meaningful smile: "We are 12 people with different genders, ages, educational backgrounds, professions, and values, naturally, our views and beliefs are quite different.

"Not having cliques would be more worrying, right?

"If everyone truly had one mind, I'd suspect there's a mind-controlling cultist among the 12 of us."

Qin Yao seemed to deflate, clearly, she had gone through much internal struggle before finding Lin Sizhi; on one hand, worried that her actions might be tattling, on the other, worried that if she said nothing, the clique could cause unforeseeable harm.

From Lin Sizhi's reaction, it seemed she was making a big deal out of nothing.

Qin Yao seemed deflated:

"All right, I just think... Fu Chen and Li Renshu have always been thinking for the community, racking their brains for proposals, appeasing everyone, resolving conflicts, and they never gain any extra benefit in the process.

"And yet, Yang Yuting still forms a clique to oppose them, it's a bit inappropriate.

"Of course, I think Yang Yuting isn't inherently bad, maybe she has a sort of persecution complex? I don't know, I'm just rambling."

Lin Sizhi adjusted his posture to sit more comfortably on the sofa: "Your statement has so many points that I don't know where to start.

"How about this, I'll give you two choices now:

"First choice, go back to sleep right now, forget all of this, and during voting, vote however you like without worrying about taking sides, just enjoy life as an observer.

"I can assure you, even if you do this, nothing will change.

"Second choice, I'll explain some basic knowledge to you, but once you hear it, your perception of the community may change drastically.

"This is called the 'curse of knowledge', meaning once you know something, you can never go back to an innocent, carefree state."

Qin Yao nervously fiddled with her fingers: "Lawyer Lin, you sound like an investigator from a Cthulhu novel...

"But I still want to know, I want to be as smart as you, I don't want to hold back the group in future games."

Lin Sizhi nodded: "Alright, I respect your choice.

"Let me think, where should I start?

"Hmm, let's start with what you just mentioned: you said that Fu Chen and Li Renshu have always been thinking for the community, racking their brains for proposals, calming everyone, resolving conflicts, and completely without any extra benefits.

"Are you sure there are no extra benefits?

"Benefits aren't just about visa time; there are other intangible ones too."
