God's Imitator

”Quickly check if new products have been activated.”

Yang Yuting immediately checked the product list on the vending machine.

Of course, she wasn’t certain about it either. After all, according to Cai Zhiyuan’s speculation, the visa time needed to activate new products might also be calculated cumulatively.

But looking at the community’s current prices, activating a new function every 300,000 was the most likely scenario.

The others also came to the vending machine to check.

Sure enough, compared to the previous product list, some new entries had indeed been updated, including more food, clothing, daily necessities, luxury goods, and medical supplies.

But what was obviously more important was the new special product.

Only this time, the new item that appeared was somewhat beyond everyone’s expectations.

Not the item’s function, but its usage format.

[First Player Identity Card][Price: 200,000 minutes of visa time]

[After purchase, community players can vote to grant this identity card to a certain player to hold.]

[Voting again can change the holder, but each change has a 30-day cooldown period and can only be changed outside of game time.]

[First Player Privileges:]

[1. Every 30 days, can refuse one mandatory game invitation.]

[Cannot refuse when the player profile is selected by a game with judgment characteristics.]

[After refusing a mandatory game invitation, other players may be forcibly selected from this community or other communities to participate. The specific selection method depends on the game’s invitation rules.]

[2. Every 30 days, can spend 100,000 minutes of visa time to provide ’a suggestion of no more than 10 words’ to players inside a game.]

[When the community possesses a First Player Identity Card, they can synchronously obtain basic game rule information with players inside the game.]

[Submitted suggestions will be reviewed by the Gallery and cannot reveal or hint at hidden game mechanisms, otherwise they will be rejected.]

[After suggestions are rejected three times in the same game, it will directly consume the suggestion opportunity.]

[3. When voting within the community, will be counted as 2 votes.]

[Note: The First Player’s privileges 1 and 2 will have separately calculated cooldown times. Usage times cannot accumulate, and cooldown countdown only begins after use.]

Everyone’s expressions varied.

Obviously, this product’s usage was very different from the ’Death Exemption Ticket’. It wasn’t a single function but had three functions simultaneously.

The first function could be seen as ’Refusal Right’, able to refuse game invitations.

The second function could be seen as ’Suggestion Right’, able to provide suggestions to players inside games and allow community players to synchronously know game rules.

The third function could be seen as ’Voting Right’, meaning it counted as 2 votes by default when voting within the community.

But the biggest problem lay precisely in this: these three functions were bundled together and couldn’t be purchased separately.

Moreover, these three functions would be forcibly bound to one player, which also meant this player would have greater power within the community.

This item’s name was called ’First Player Identity Card’. It could be said to be quite fitting.

Besides this, during the specific usage process of this item, there might also be various small problems.

Li Renshu looked at the others, ”Should we buy it?”

Yang Yuting thought for a moment, ”We should definitely buy it, right?”

Fu Chen also nodded, ”I also think so. Let’s buy it first and talk later.”

Li Renshu lowered her head and considered for a moment, ”We don’t need to be that hasty. Let’s first discuss this new item’s specific functions and usage. It’s not too late to purchase after we’ve discussed it clearly.

”This is after all 200,000 minutes of visa time. We should be cautious.”

Everyone returned to sit by the long table in the hall.

Li Renshu looked at everyone, ”Everyone speak freely. Whether to purchase or not, and how to use it after buying, we can all discuss.

”Although it seems like a very useful new item, we also need to seriously consider whether it’s worth it. After all, the visa time required for purchase or use is not a small amount.

”We also need to consider situations where we can’t obtain this much earnings in future games.”

Fu Chen spoke first, ”It should definitely be better to purchase, right?

”Leaving aside everything else, ’submitting suggestions’ alone is very important.

”Each game’s selection rules are different. Core players leading teams may not necessarily have voluntary participation slots, and many players after entering games might very likely be confused as bystanders and fall into misunderstandings.

”External suggestions can often play a big role.

”Although it’s limited to 10 words, the suggestion in ’Birth Judgment’ was limited to 2 words, and Lawyer Lin also gave a good enough suggestion.

”Under specific conditions, a good suggestion might save a life.

”Moreover, this is equivalent to providing us with an additional choice. We can choose not to use it, but we can’t not have it.”

Wang Yongxin slightly shook his head, ”I think we should be cautious about buying this item.

”’Can choose not to use it but can’t not have it’ isn’t a reason we must buy it.

”The vast majority of items in the vending machine can be described with this phrase, but we’re not going to buy everything, right?

”For me personally, buying similar items definitely requires serious consideration of cost-effectiveness.

”After all, we’re not wealthy enough to completely disregard visa time as money.

”Let’s look at them one by one.

”First, refusing mandatory invitations, basically only one player can possess this.

”Although voting can change the identity card holder, it can only be changed once every 30 days. And after changing, it will involve various other problems. In principle, it can’t be changed randomly.

”When one’s player profile is selected, they cannot refuse.

”But only such games have the highest mortality rate. Like when I was forced to participate in ’King’s Judgment’ or Officer Cao was forced to participate in ’Shelter Game’.

”Other games actually don’t have such high mortality rates.

”For example, ’judgment-type games where you’re not the judgment target’, or general ’selection-type games’ like ’Blind Date Game’, ’Fool’s Game’, and also ’distribution-type games’.

”There’s no reason to refuse distribution-type games. These games basically have no death risk. At most you lose money. If you don’t participate in these, what would you participate in?

”After refusing selection-type games, which players will fill in depends on each game’s specific selection rules. Only a few selection-type games will fill positions from players voluntarily participating from other communities. Besides that, most situations forcibly select same-community players to fill in.

”In that case, what’s the meaning of refusing game invitations?

”It’s only beneficial to the individual holding the identity card, not necessarily beneficial to the community, because other weak players might be forced to participate.”
