Qin Cheng continued, "Alright, let’s take advantage of the Discount Coupon this time and buy all the items we need.
"The first and second privileges of the ’First Player Identity Card’ are permanently reduced by seven days, and we didn’t buy this before.
"Additionally, it’s the fifth and sixth privileges of the Identity Card.
"The total combined price of these three is 350,000 minutes of visa time, plus 300,000 for the Immunity Coupon, totaling 650,000 minutes of visa time.
"According to our previous consensus, we won’t use the fifth privilege.
"The Immunity Coupon can be purchased as usual, and the extra ones we hold are not affected.
"After the discount, the total is 520,000 minutes of visa time, which means we save 130,000, making it quite cost-effective."
The original Immunity Coupons of Community 2 hadn’t yet cooled down, so purchasing now was considered an early supplement.
However, since Qin Cheng controlled extra Immunity Coupons, everyone was no longer as anxious about the cooldown time of the original Immunity Coupons.
Once everything was bought, the community fund dropped to just over 2.1 million, a significant expenditure, but for most, it still felt worthwhile.
Everyone gathered around the long table and sat down, feeling a bit satisfied with their "spree."
Qin Cheng looked around at everyone, "The invitation for the next game has been received. It’s an Allocation Game. Although it might be stricter than the previous Allocation Games, overall, it’s still the same type, so there’s no need for too much worry.
"I’m still thinking of a plan, but I’m not sure if it will be selected. Don’t hold too high expectations; just proceed with the game as usual.
"And... we need to determine the four people who will get the ’Profit Growth’."
No one else spoke, but anticipation was noticeably in the air.
This privilege, although tied to the First Player Identity Card, provides real individual benefits.
Each time, you can get an extra 10% visa time from the game, which adds up to a considerable amount.
Qin Cheng continued, "From a functional standpoint, it’s clear that players who earn more visa time from the game can make greater use of this benefit.
"And this aligns with the core positioning of the community.
"I am the holder of the First Player Identity Card, and according to the item’s description, I cannot be one of the ’Profit Growth’ beneficiaries.
"Even if I could, I would give up the qualification because I have already enjoyed other privileges of the First Player Identity Card.
"Lawyer Lin and Sister Yelin are currently our community’s two very stable game cores, earning a lot of visa time from the game, so two slots are fixed for them. I assume no one has objections to this."
Everyone said, "No objections."
This was relatively easy to agree upon since the other players weren’t particularly hopeful of getting those two slots.
What everyone truly cared about was how the other two slots would be distributed. Currently, there didn’t seem to be any particularly competitive candidates, meaning everyone had a chance.
Qin Cheng paused slightly and continued, "As for the other two slots, my idea is...
"Fair competition, rotation access.
"This slot can be changed once a month, so we will tally the earnings of all participating players from the four games each month. Excluding me, Lawyer Lin, and Sister Yelin, the top two will receive the ’Profit Growth’ for one month.
"The more you work, the more you earn. This should be the fairest method."
Fu Yujun pondered for a moment, "But we also need to consider that the selection process for entering the game slots might cause disputes."
Shen Bowen thought for a moment, "Will it? It should be alright.
"In many games, there are indeed forced participation slots selected by certain methods, and if some players are unlucky to be continuously picked by the game, their earnings might indeed be lower than those who only get into one game.
"But this is something beyond control.
"There are no human influence factors here, after all, the Imitator would not specifically target our community when designing the selection rules, nor would it make extra designs for this Profit Growth.
"If this situation really occurs, others shouldn’t have too much opinion, as the players forced to participate in games do bear extra risk, which is very real."
Fu Yujun explained, "Yes, this is indeed insignificant, but I’m talking about another situation.
"For instance, in Allocation Games.
"When the invitation is received, everyone knows that Allocation Games are relatively safe, and most slots are voluntary participation. If one can get into an Allocation Game, there’s a significant advantage in contending for ’Profit Growth’.
"From the situation in Community 10, the volunteer list for Allocation Games, although it’s voluntary, would surely be fine-tuned by community leaders based on personnel configuration issues.
"It should be similar for us, right?
"In this case, there might be disputes in the pre-game entry phase: between two equally capable players, why is it A who gets in and not B?"
Huang Shengjie seemed puzzled, "In that case, both can register, and Walkway can randomly select, right? Luck is the fairest."
Fu Yujun nodded, "But we still need to ensure game cores can lead the game.
"For example, if a game has four volunteer slots but eight people register.
"At this point, Walkway would select from these eight, and if it just happens to pick four relatively weaker players, it could be tricky."
Qin Cheng thought for a moment, "Yes, this possibility does exist.
"But it’s not an unsolvable problem. We can arrange a draw.
"First, the player confirmed as the game core does not participate in the draw.
"Then, from the remaining seven people, draw three slots.
"Then allow only those on the list to register voluntarily.
"Although this might still not result in optimal player configuration for the game, since the registration number is high, it indicates the game isn’t excessively dangerous, so it’s insignificant."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
It was clear that, apart from pure day residents like Geng Yuxia, other players were somewhat eager for the opportunity to gain Profit Growth.
At least initially, they had some enthusiasm or unrealistic fantasies.
Huang Shengjie asked, "So, how do we determine the current list? Based on last month’s earnings?"
Qin Cheng nodded, "Yes.
"As for last month, we’ll consider the earnings from ’Jury Game,’ ’Trust Marketplace,’ ’Endorsed Game,’ and ’One-Sided Story.’
"Exclude the three of us and take the top two."
