God's Imitator

He Qinyun’s expression was somewhat conflicted: "I really want to know, what exactly Gao Teng voted for in those previous proposals.

"Do you guys still remember? Actually, in quite a few votes, the voting patterns were very different from what we expected, and we all suspected that Gao Teng secretly voted against them.

"But Gao Teng never admitted it.

"Now, I actually suspect a bit that it might have been Lu Bingjun or Yao Yuan who voted, because looking back from today’s perspective, they always wanted to create division and chaos within the community, so they could rise up.

"If we could know exactly who cast those votes, then..."

He Qinyun didn’t continue, but her meaning was clear.

She hoped to be able to find a definitive result.

Zheng Chunhua agreed: "Yes, assuming we can really trace back the voting situation in the first phase, then we could completely justify buying it later just to check the first phase.

"This function is available once a month, and can only check one person.

"So, using it just to check the voting patterns of the first phase, we can use it for a long, long time.

"This query function is quite weak, but it can also be considered quite restrained, without much destructiveness."

Shen Bowen frowned: "But perhaps... letting bygones be bygones might be a better choice?

"Gao Teng and Yao Yuan are both dead, and Lu Bingjun has been expelled, is it really good to keep digging deeper?

"What if it involves other veteran players?

"Let’s consider a situation: everyone suspects a certain voting pattern in the first phase, and they first check Gao Teng, finding he voted in favor; a month later, they check Yao Yuan, finding he also voted in favor; another month later they check Lu Bingjun, and he still voted in favor.

"By then, the suspect would naturally shift to other veteran players.

"Isn’t this spending money to court suffering?"

Everyone finally looked at Qin Cheng.

Buying or not buying, we can find corresponding reasons, so in the end, it can only be decided by the direct stakeholder.

Qin Cheng is now holding the First Player Identity Card, and this privilege is only for him to use after purchase, so he ultimately has to make the decision.

While everyone discussed, Qin Cheng had been pondering.

At this moment, he finally made a decision: "Don’t buy.

"Everyone has summed it up thoroughly, and I quite agree. Overall, I think the negative impact of this privilege outweighs the positive.

"Even taking it a step back, even if at some point in the future we have to buy it, we must meet at least one of two conditions:

"Firstly, we find that the privilege of the First Player Identity Card cannot be skipped, that is, if the sixth or seventh privilege appears later, we cannot purchase them, then we would have to go back to buy this fifth privilege.

"Secondly, our community encounters a very significant and critical issue, and only the ’ticket type check’ method can clarify the doubt, solve the problem.

"Other than these circumstances, there is no reason to purchase."

No one raised any objections.

Obviously, since Qin Cheng, the direct beneficiary of unlocking this privilege, said not to use it, then other people certainly have no reason to insist.

Qin Cheng concluded: "Then the final discussion result is, the identity card privilege will not be purchased, and the Drug Sales License will be bought the day before the next game starts.

"As the license itself is very cheap, we don’t need to consider purchasing the Discount Coupon for now. We’ll try to wait until more valuable special items are activated later and then purchase them together with the Immunity Coupon.

"So this discussion ends here.

"The last item on our agenda is to remember Wei Changfeng.

"However, this is not part of the formal agenda, nor does it involve key decisions for the future of the community, so I’m considering arranging it during today’s dinner and afterward.

"The content is entirely free, mainly sharing memories of some things Wei Changfeng did, or some impressive words.

"The sharing will mainly be done by the veteran players, new players can listen in as casual chatter.

"Of course, if you don’t want to participate, you can rest after dinner, it’s completely voluntary.

"What does everyone think?"

Everyone nodded one after another.

Qin Cheng then looked at Zhou Wanlin: "So tonight’s dinner gathering, should be arranged by Sister Wanlin? Does anyone else want to volunteer?"

Huang Shengjie said: "Sister Wanlin can arrange it, I’ll help as her assistant!"

Everyone left the long table separately, some returned to their rooms to rest, while others joined Zhou Wanlin to finalize the evening dinner menu or purchase semi-processed materials for preparation.

Qin Cheng then found Wang Yan, who was strolling around the community, to introduce the situation in the community to him.

...

Dinner time.

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

This time, the dinner gathering wasn’t more lavish than before.

After all, previously, Lu Bingjun and Yao Yuan also organized relatively large gatherings, where somewhat extravagant situations occurred.

It’s impossible to balance grandness and frugality.

Therefore, this gathering better reflected the quality of ’small and beautiful’, primarily focusing on everyone’s previously favorite dishes, but controlling the total amount.

This was prepared by Zhou Wanlin, but also got instructions from Qin Cheng to some extent.

Qin Cheng didn’t plan to speak before the gathering, everyone sat in a relatively relaxed atmosphere, and after a simple toast, they began to enjoy the food.

He Qinyun sighed: "This situation really feels inexplicably familiar.

"In my impression, when I first came to Community 2, our first dinner party was exactly like this.

"At that time, we had just completed ’Flower Brick Poker’, all players returned safely, and the yield was quite good.

"Everyone was very happy and wanted to have a dinner party, but found it restricted by community rules.

"It was Old Wei who first thought of bypassing rules through proposals, or you could also say... rewriting the rules?

"In any case, the dinner was really carefully selected at that time, we didn’t even dare to order the slightly more expensive dishes.

"After all, everyone was too poor at that time, and thinking of spending precious visa time, everyone was reluctant.

"Later...

"Visa time increased, Lu Bingjun’s speeches at dinners also increased, but always felt...

"Not better and better, but farther and farther away."

Ye Lin took a sip of red wine: "But today it seems to have returned to the origin.

"That’s a good thing.

"If we were previously on the wrong path, then returning to the right path, even though it looks like a retreat, it’s actually a kind of progression, isn’t it?

"After all, many things can only be appreciated truly after experiencing them.

"Actually, my deepest impression of Old Wei wasn’t in the game but in the community..."

Everyone naturally began to talk about a series of things related to Wei Changfeng.

From performances in the game to trivial matters in the community.

Some even mentioned Xu Yili and Gao Teng, inevitably filled with emotion.

Everyone chatted on and off, most new players listened while eating, not leaving immediately after finishing their meals.

Including Wang Yan.

Qin Cheng spoke little throughout but listened very attentively.
