Li Renshu smiled, "What, are you suggesting 'President Wang covers everyone's expenses'? I'm not used to you being so generous all of a sudden."

Wang Yongxin waved his hand with a smile, "Oh, I'm not a stingy person, you've got me all wrong.

"In business, in deals, every penny counts, that's for profit;

"In daily life, being generous when treating someone, that's for relations.

"One shouldn't interfere with the other.

"Running a company, while costs that should be saved must be saved, the human touch that should be given must be given too, otherwise, those truly capable would not work for you."

Li Renshu nodded, "Good, then we'll look forward to benefiting from President Wang's generosity in the future."

This might be Wang Yongxin trying to win people over with the invitation time, but in such a situation, Li Renshu certainly couldn't object outright.

As for whether to actually propose this motion in the future, that still needs careful consideration.

Everyone wore smiles, and the atmosphere in the hall was pleasant.

Li Renshu coughed lightly, "Today is a special day, so I think a little ceremony is in order.

"I'd like to take up a little of your time, just to say a few words.

"Now we have understood most of the rules of the New World, and during the days living in it, we have endured the departure of companions and felt the joy of new members arriving.

"I know, such big emotional changes are not easy for most people to handle.

"Although we've known each other in the community for a short time and can only be considered casual acquaintances, we should still cherish every friendship, every bond.

"We should remember those who have passed, and learn to adapt to this harsh environment, looking forward with optimism and positivity.

"This drink is both in memory of Uncle Ding and to welcome Dr. Xiaozheng.

"Most importantly, no matter what happens, we will always be the best Community 17.

"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses."

Everyone picked up their wine or drinks, "Cheers!"

That night, many people chatted in the hall until late at night.

...

...

At 10 PM, Lin Sizhi returned to his room.

Sure enough, a new game invitation appeared on his personal computer again.

And it was an invitation to a judgment game.

"Yama's Call, huh, doesn't even give a moment to rest."

Lin Sizhi was somewhat helpless, but he first glanced at the time and found it quite sufficient: this game would start in a week.

[Hello, Lin Sizhi.]

[You have eliminated an incompetent imitator for the New World, and Walkway will remember your contribution.]

[When an excellent imitator proves their value to Walkway, they will accumulate two advantages:]

[More relaxed review standards, and additional scene props available.]

[Moreover, you will gain initial access to the 'Database', which can be consulted on your personal computer.]

"Hmm?"

Lin Sizhi read these contents again.

Clearly, these two advantages are significant.

For an imitator to survive in the New World, there's something as important as life: having their own designed game successfully selected.

If not selected, the imitator is like a good person holding a werewolf Identity Card, not only benefiting nothing but also being suspected by other players.

An imitator not recognized by Walkway might be killed by players, die accidentally in the life-or-death game of other imitators, become the puppet of other players, or get cleaned out by Walkway through various means.

But if every game is successfully selected, then the imitator's identity is wholly advantageous.

Step back, they can reserve a back door in their own game for self-preservation.

Advance, they can set up traps to kill people they want to kill or use rules to save people they want to save.

Further, they can slowly change Walkway's rules through their games, thus influencing the entire New World's ecosystem.

An excellent imitator, even as a community enemy, still has ample space for strategy and self-defense.

The additional scene props available not only enhance player immersion but also embed subtle hints about the game content in details.

And these hints, once effective with game rules, can significantly improve Walkway's evaluation of the game.

The more relaxed review standards need not be mentioned, meaning games with hidden agendas are more likely to be selected.

It's like a path for promotion within a company:

A new employee must strictly follow the leader's requests, intuit the leader's intentions, and find ways to showcase themselves in small details.

But after repeated promotions, once achieving a certain position, they can design plans autonomously without needing others' approval increasingly.

Once reaching a certain level, even internal leniency and personal gains in the rules might be overlooked with a blind eye.

Eliminating Zhong Yuanyuan, an incompetent imitator, did indeed pose some risk to Lin Sizhi.

But even if common players in the community have some suspicions, they can't find any solid evidence, after all, Walkway deliberately concealed things for Lin Sizhi.

Both the pre-game tips and the additional fifth supplementary rule after the game rule updates lead players to mistakenly believe it's Walkway dynamically adjusting game difficulty themselves.

This informational discrepancy makes it hard for common players to imagine the game this time was actually a confrontation between two imitators and might even lower suspicion of Lin Sizhi's identity as an imitator.

After all, in other players' eyes, if Lin Sizhi himself were an imitator, he certainly wouldn't lack invitation time, so why take the risk of participating in games designed by other imitators? Looking for some thrill, despite seemingly hard fate?

For imitators, it's better to avoid participating in other imitators' games if possible; only players find any game participation equally acceptable.

Logically, the more enthusiastically a player participates in Walkway games, the less likely they are an imitator.

Because there's simply no need to disguise themselves at the risk of life for such trivialities.

So, Lin Sizhi's proactive participation this time is an act of 'helping the weaker players,' reinforcing his good-guy image.

However, there's a point to consider: Lin Sizhi isn't sure whether Walkway forwarded modification suggestions to other imitators.

If sent to other imitators and their suggestions not adopted, once they enter the 'Matchmaking Game,' they'll realize a possible rule change initiated by an imitator, deducing another's entry too, according to Walkway's previous rules.

This introduces a possibility of deep suspicion towards Lin Sizhi.

Yet, Lin Sizhi remains unsure if Walkway reached out to others with modifications, and even if such imitators exist, they pose no immediate threat.

Unless an opponent would foolishly self-destruct just to drag Lin Sizhi down.

Even then, Lin Sizhi isn't utterly defenseless; although he prefers not to reveal his identity, that doesn't imply vulnerability afterwards.

Since pulling the trigger in the 'Wheel of Redemption,' he's been well aware.

Open cards have their own style of play.

Considering the current gains, the gamble of entering the game to clear out imitators for Walkway is indeed worthwhile.
