Chapter 708 - 707: Purchase Plan
Wen Wan looked at Lu Bingjun: "Then why don’t we just buy this?"
"The Immunity Coupon, no one can say precisely when it might be needed.
"However, the sooner we buy this privilege, the sooner it becomes effective.
"Besides, Brother Lu has donated so much visa time to the community fund, 2000 isn’t much, it can also help recuperate a bit."
Lu Bingjun considered for a moment: "I donated the visa time voluntarily, and since it’s donated, it becomes the community’s public property, it definitely can’t be used just because I want to.
"Whether to buy it or not should still depend on everyone’s opinion.
"My personal view is...
"If we only consider the 2000-minute visa time, this is actually inconsequential and not worth paying attention to.
"But looking at the setup of items, the ’First Player Identity Card’ is likely an integrated item with many functions.
"Afterwards, there might be a 5th, 6th, or even more privileges appearing.
"Which means, the community or the Walkway will probably bundle these special functions onto the Identity Card.
"It’s likely you can’t skip a certain privilege and directly activate the later ones.
"In that case, it’s better to buy it early, because buying it a day earlier earns a day’s more benefits."
Everyone looked at each other, then someone started saying, "Buy it."
The players holding this attitude quickly exceeded half the number.
Lu Bingjun thought for a moment: "Alright, then let’s buy it."
He completed the operation on the vending machine, spending 120,000 community funds to buy the 4th privilege of the Identity Card.
A 30-day countdown automatically appeared on it as well, indicating that when the countdown ends, a daily yield of 2000 will begin.
The community construction fund still has 1.68 million remaining.
This is still a rather extravagant number, capable of buying many things, but thanks to the Discount Coupon, there are currently no plans to spend more.
Lu Bingjun turned around and bowed slightly to everyone: "Although the privileges of the First Player Identity Card belong to everyone in the community, for now, it is after all in my possession, so I am very grateful for everyone’s trust in me.
"I will not let this trust down and will try to make it function to its fullest potential.
"Taking this opportunity, we should also organize the community’s medicine replenishment amounts and everyone’s instances of suffering pain."
Before the ’Jury Game’, a new control scheme had been approved within the community, so immediately after each game, the medicine was already controlled.
This time, as expected, the restock quantity became 80 bottles, divided among the 6 participating players, each received a replenishment quota totaling 14 bottles, with 7 bottles of each kind.
Among these 6 players, Lin Sizhi, Ye Lin, and Qin Cheng can retain their replenishment quotas, while Zhang Yan, Lu Qi, and Huang Shengjie will restock independently, with Qin Cheng using community funds to purchase and manage the medicines.
bottles of each of the two medicines were managed, costing a total of 18,900 minutes of visa time.
The profit portion of this will be converted into earnings for Zhang Yan, Lu Qi, and Huang Shengjie.
From the present situation, this medicine control scheme is operating well, with no occurrences of private restocking or medicine leaks, and the cost of controlling the medicines each time is within an acceptable range.
Afterward, everyone returned to the long table to sit down, and they sorted out the situations of suffering pain again.
The community’s acute pain continues to occur at a fixed frequency: every 3 days, 3 players from the 7 with the least visa time experience acute pain.
Qin Cheng had previously stated that staying within the bottom 7 was not to forsake immunity but to verify how pain changes after taking basic medications.
After suffering pain for the second time, he withdrew some visa time from the special fund and joined the top 7 for pain immunity.
Aside from the four players exempt from pain: Lu Bingjun, Lin Sizhi, Ye Lin, and Qin Cheng, the pain occurrences for other players have changed.
As this type of pain isn’t recorded by the community’s machines, Yao Yuan and other players manually record and backup on paper.
5. Zheng Chunhua (4 times)
6. Huang Shengjie (4 times)
7. Zhou Wanlin (3 times)
8. Wen Wan (3 times)
9. Yao Yuan (3 times)
10. Shen Bowen (2 times)
11. He Qinyun (2 times)
12. Geng Yuxia (2 times)
13. Zhang Yan (1 time)
14. Lu Qi (1 time)
Zhang Yan, although inheriting Deng Xiao’s community number, obviously cannot inherit the pain instances.
No matter the pain instances Deng Xiao originally endured or those Zhang Yan experienced in the original community, both are defaulted to be erased.
There is no choice in this matter, and Zhang Yan expressed understanding.
Wen Wan glanced at Lu Qi with a somewhat complicated expression.
After this re-adjustment, the ranking was roughly ordered by the number of instances.
Due to slight tweaks after each pain experience, generally, there’s been no major discrepancy in the pain occurrences.
However, signs of unfairness have started to surface.
Players like Zheng Chunhua and Huang Shengjie, who have significantly more pain instances, entering the top 7 is beyond question.
But for those like Zhou Wanlin, Wen Wan, and Yao Yuan, all just 3 times, deciding who enters the top 7 can easily lead to disputes.
Even worse is the special case of Lu Qi.
Since joining the community, she’s always been in the bottom 7, yet for some reason, pain never selects her.
To date, Lu Qi has only experienced pain once.
Wen Wan has always been both resistant and afraid, constantly praying that pain never comes her way, but the more scared she is, the unluckier she becomes.
Up to now, she’s had 3 occurrences, placing her slightly above average.
But ultimately, no one expressed doubts about these contents, and everyone accepted them.
Everyone resumed their seats around the long table, continuing the prior discussion.
Yao Yuan distributed the pre-prepared proposal content to everyone.
"After everyone’s discussion yesterday, I’ve briefly summarized three key points and formed these two proposals.
"Let me introduce them sequentially to everyone.
"Firstly, to avoid the Imitator from grasping all the community’s information in real-time, we must inevitably allow players to share some special information privately.
"However, this point doesn’t need to form a proposal, nor can it be constrained by one. What’s more, our community already doesn’t prohibit this behavior.
"So, it’s enough that everyone keeps it in mind.
"Secondly, we need to amplify speech content.
"This is the first proposal."
[Proposal 1: Add ’Community Speech Rules’]
[In special occasions when all community players are gathered to discuss issues, including ’Game Retrospectives’ and ’Community Proposal Discussions’, each player must speak for at least 1 minute.]
[Players who don’t complete this will have 500 minutes of visa time deducted each time, added to the ’Community Construction Fund’.]
