God's Imitator

Ye Lin looked at him: "Without the message in the hall, who the first player would be might still be a mystery.

"But since it’s confirmed that Yao Yuan is an S-Class Imitator, and you are the one who captured him single-handedly, you’re the rightful first player."

Qin Cheng slightly shook his head: "One thing is independent of another.

"Contribution to the community is one thing, actual ability is another.

"The first player, or community leader, shouldn’t be the player with the most contribution, but rather the most capable and suitable player.

"Overall, I think Lawyer Lin is a better choice.

"If Lawyer Lin is willing to take on the responsibility of the first player, I will fully support him."

Lin Sizhi shook his head: "I’m not interested.

"From the first stage until now, no matter how the community changes, my attitude remains the same."

Qin Cheng considered for a moment, and didn’t propose other players.

"If that’s the case, then, I also won’t pretend or decline.

"If everyone endorses me and is willing to give me this opportunity...

"I will definitely, like Wei Changfeng, give it my all to become a qualified leader."

He waited for a bit, and no one raised any objections.

"Then, we’ll handle the voting later, and continue discussing the recruitment issue for new members."

Zheng Chunhua raised his hand and said: "I think, why wait for the voting?

"Let’s vote immediately, settling this matter first before moving on to other things."

Others nodded in agreement.

"Yes, let’s decide first."

Qin Cheng thought for a moment: "Alright, I’ll go submit the proposal."

This vote was straightforward; everyone took turns entering the Community Management Office, and soon there was a result.

The current first player of Community 2 is: Player 1, Qin Cheng."

As soon as this message appeared on the big screen, everyone applauded.

Qin Cheng solemnly wore the ’First Player Identity Card’, then bowed deeply to everyone.

"Thank you all."

Ye Lin pointed at the seat formerly occupied by Lu Bingjun, signaling Qin Cheng to sit there.

Qin Cheng looked over and noticed that Yao Yuan’s seat was deliberately avoided by everyone, even He Qinyun who was sitting next to it had moved her chair away to keep distance.

He considered for a moment, stood up from his seat, and swapped Yao Yuan’s chair with Lu Bingjun’s chair.

Afterward, Qin Cheng solemnly sat at the main seat, on Yao Yuan’s chair.

It seemed to be making some sort of statement.

However, he did not elaborate but continued to push the agenda forward.

"Currently, there are 3 vacancies in our community’s players, 2 males and 1 female.

"I am considering recruiting one male player using regular methods first, as this method has a long cooldown period, the sooner the better.

"As for the remaining 2 slots, we can consider gradually finding suitable candidates in subsequent games, poaching from other communities."

Everyone nodded.

Ye Lin took over the conversation: "So the main issues that need to be discussed are the age and occupation of this male player.

"If we follow our previous discussion results, it should be from ’management’ or ’mathematics’, and everyone can vote to decide.

"Management players can help us sort out the community’s politics.

"Mathematics players can help us gain better returns in allocation games."

Qin Cheng looked at everyone: "Then let’s simply do a show of hands vote.

"If the numbers for both options are close, we’ll go through formal procedures and conduct a secret ballot.

"If there’s a wide gap, then it’s unnecessary.

"Support for management players, please raise your hand.

"Hmm... 3 people.

"Mathematics players? 8 people."

Qin Cheng also raised his hand in support of the mathematics category, so from the numbers, it was an overwhelming lead.

Obviously, after the previous community turmoil, many players developed a sort of PTSD towards ’management’ or ’political’ players.

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

They would instinctively think these players like to manipulate politics, potentially causing the recently stabilized community to fall into turmoil again.

Qin Cheng clearly noticed this, he explained: "Actually, skilled political players don’t necessarily produce negative effects.

"They may also maintain community stability and balance through political wisdom.

"However, I understand everyone’s concerns, because we practically cannot control whether the recruited players are well-intentioned or malicious, so political players pose a higher risk compared to mathematics players.

"If encountering a malicious player, the potential destructive impact increases too.

"Then, let’s choose someone with a mathematics background.

"As for specific occupations, does anyone have good ideas?

"Sister Bowen, Uncle Zheng, what are your thoughts?"

Both come from a science background, Shen Bowen is a mechanical engineer, Zheng Chunhua is a teacher, they’ll have more authority on this issue.

Shen Bowen considered for a moment: "Mathematics background occupations can broadly be divided into ’basic research’, ’cutting-edge technology’, and ’cross-application’ these three directions.

"Basic research means scholars, teachers, and the like;

"For cutting-edge technology, popular ones include algorithm engineers, data analysts;

"Cross-industry covers quite a bit, such as quantitative, finance, risk management, complex system modeling, they probably all count."

Zheng Chunhua added: "Could actuaries, specialized selection candidates, or civil servants be considered?"

Qin Cheng quickly made notes, then seriously considered for a moment.

"If only looking for the theoretically optimal solution, cross-industry positions like quantitative trading or actuarial positions are better.

"Because games within the Walkway, even if they involve mathematics, are unlikely to be particularly advanced or complicated.

"Otherwise, just one advanced calculus question would eliminate ninety percent of players.

"Generally, the math in the games involves the special application of simple theories, so a high theoretical level isn’t necessary—quick calculations or having pioneering thinking might have more advantages.

"But this is just theoretical."

Shen Bowen nodded in agreement: "Yes, from our experience in the first stage, the community’s new player recruitment mechanism is pretty unreliable—high chance won’t find completely satisfactory candidates.

"If we strictly ensure the occupation, significant issues may arise in age or moral aspects.

"In the worst-case scenario, even the occupation might not be guaranteed."

Ye Lin added: "Seems that fewer people in the occupation increases the likelihood of problems among recruits."

Qin Cheng thought for a moment: "Given that, we should just ensure the ’mathematical background’ general direction.

"As for the recruit’s strength or weakness, and if they’re skilled at games, let’s not overthink."

Everyone soon reached consensus and completed the vote.

Recruitment choice - Male Mathematics Practitioner

In favor: 9 votes.

Against: 2 votes.

Recruitment choice - Passed for Male Mathematics Practitioner, the community will screen within a certain range according to this requirement and incorporate suitable new players.

opposing votes still present a healthy voting pattern, so no need to worry.

Previously, Qin Cheng hadn’t seen recruitment done in this way, so he asked: "When will the new player arrive approximately?"

Shen Bowen replied: "From past experience, it should be tomorrow morning."

Qin Cheng nodded in agreement: "Then let’s be patient and wait."
