Obviously, for someone like Wang Yongxin who had contributed a lot of money, they would definitely hope for a larger refund.
But the problem was, the visa time in the community security fund's pool had been accumulated from many contributions, making it very difficult to distinguish how much each person had specifically paid.
Under these circumstances, a proportional refund plan would be very troublesome. It would be better to just divide it equally.
Moreover, for most people, they naturally leaned towards an equal distribution plan. After all, the wealthy in the community were always a minority.
Wang Yongxin didn't need to be the bad guy over such a trivial amount of visa time. It was better to go with the flow and divide it equally.
Li Renshu nodded, "Alright, so this item is passed then?"
No one objected.
Li Renshu continued, "The second proposal, in simple terms, is to select a medical supplies administrator to use the community security fund to purchase necessary medical supplies and provide necessary medical services to all players in the community.
"I know this will increase the community's operational costs, so I must explain to everyone why we need such a person:
"First, using the community security fund to purchase medical supplies can reduce individual burdens and avoid waste. There should be no dispute on this point.
"And appointing a dedicated person to manage it is mainly to improve efficiency.
"Perhaps the Arcade's games will become increasingly dangerous, and we will get injured more and more frequently.
"If we buy medical supplies ourselves, it will not only cause waste, but there's also the possibility that a player might be unconscious and unable to make a purchase.
"And if we want to use the community security fund, because it involves public funds, to prevent misuse, we would in principle have to submit a proposal and go through a voting process to be safe.
"But this could very well delay the treatment of the injured.
"If we stockpile medical supplies in advance, it could also easily lead to unnecessary waste. It's best to buy them as needed.
"These problems can all be solved by appointing a medical supplies administrator.
"Everyone might worry that this person could embezzle funds or deliberately empty the community security fund.
"I have also set two restrictions for this: First, their authority is limited to purchasing medical supplies from the vending machine, and when the cumulative spending reaches 10,000 minutes of visa time, they must submit a detailed list for everyone to review. Only after the review is complete can another 10,000-minute quota be opened; second, they can be dismissed and replaced at any time with a vote of seven."
Everyone looked at each other in silence, and still, no one objected.
Jiang He smiled a little helplessly, "Renshu, you've thought of everything so comprehensively. You've thought of things we did and didn't think of and written them into the proposal in advance.
"So what else is there to say? I think it's perfectly fine."
The others also nodded one after another.
Li Renshu maintained a very calm expression and didn't seem overly happy that the proposal had passed. She just continued:
"Alright, then the second proposal has also been discussed.
"The third proposal is about the candidate for new recruitment. After careful consideration, I still lean more towards Cai Zhiyuan's view: a young, male surgeon.
"As for why I specified 'young,' besides the better physical fitness and higher chance of survival in games that Cai Zhiyuan mentioned earlier, I believe there is another very important factor, which is... character.
"Although most doctors are noble and see it as their duty to treat patients and save lives, it must be said that there are also many morally corrupt people among doctors. Whether it's colluding with pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies to line their own pockets, or being so focused on promotion that they perform perfunctory diagnoses on patients, such bad doctors do exist.
"There are criminals in the New World, and it seems the proportion is not low. If we really choose such a bad doctor, it will only be counterproductive, and our community will never have a day of peace.
"Of course, I'm not saying that older people necessarily have bad character.
"It's just that, relatively speaking, among the doctors who have climbed to high positions and have the ability to engage in these shady practices, older people are clearly in the majority; whereas the vast majority of young doctors have not yet been exposed to these dark sides and still hold relatively noble ideals.
"Therefore, I believe a young surgeon would be a better choice.
"As for whether it's a man or a woman, I don't think we need to discuss it too much. Gender issues, when discussed to the end, will only become a dialogue of the deaf. We might as well follow the established principle: a strict 6:6 male-to-female ratio in the community. This is the fairest.
"Next time, if there's a reduction in female members, we will also only recruit a new female member.
"Furthermore, I believe the recruitment choice should be strictly limited to three keywords. The broadcast has actually already given a hint: age, gender, occupation. If we wishfully use other keywords, they most likely won't be included in the screening criteria.
"We could certainly propose a request like 'a 35-year-old male military surgeon with excellent cooking skills, rich medical knowledge, and extremely high intelligence,' but the rules also state very clearly that this recruitment is a screening, not a wish.
"Too many keywords will not only likely fail to have the desired effect but may also lead to confusion in the screening criteria. We cannot take this risk, because after the new person joins the community, we can't just kick them out and replace them no matter how dissatisfied we are."
Li Renshu's speech, to some extent, had a final, decisive effect.
Originally, many people had other ideas, especially hesitating on the issue of whether the doctor should be young or old.
But at this moment, many people were clearly convinced by Li Renshu, nodding frequently.
Cai Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, "Hmm, I really hadn't considered the character aspect before. In that case, my original idea is even more solidified."
He then looked at Cao Haichuan and Lin Sizhi, "Officer Cao, Lawyer Lin, what are your thoughts?"
Cao Haichuan and Lin Sizhi both nodded, "We agree."
Yang Yuting hesitated for a moment and said, a bit unconfidently, "Then... the nurse I mentioned before, Renshu, have you considered that?"
Li Renshu said with a smile, "Of course I've considered it.
"A nurse might be better at basic nursing techniques, but a young surgeon isn't necessarily that much worse. And we also have to consider another issue, which is that more systematic medical knowledge will be helpful for our future game puzzle-solving.
"The games in the Arcade are all-encompassing; anything is possible.
"For example, in the previous game 'King's Judgment,' between the iron maiden in cell 4 and the nail gun in cell 5, which is more dangerous? After taking these injuries how many times would one likely be severely wounded and unable to be saved?
"If we had to choose one type of injury, which one would be easier to recover from given the community's medical capabilities?
"This is just a very basic example. The situations we encounter in the future may be even more complex.
"In this situation, if we can have a doctor who provides more systematic, scientific, and comprehensive medical knowledge, it will be of greater help.
"This is also an important reason why a doctor is superior to a nurse."
Yang Yuting nodded slightly, "Mmm... okay, you've convinced me."
Only then did Li Renshu show a smile, "Alright, the content of the proposals has been discussed clearly. It's getting late, and everyone needs to rest early. I'll go submit the proposals now.
"Everyone can vote on the three proposals at the same time.
"Oh, there's one more thing I feel is necessary to emphasize.
"Everyone can cast a 'no' vote as they please, it's fine. Because casting a 'no' vote is a right given to us by the community, it's perfectly justified.
"Moreover, 'no' votes can also help us better recognize the shortcomings of the proposals, so there will be room for improvement later.
"For example, the 'no' vote last time was actually very reasonable. The proposal at that time was indeed a bit rough and not perfect.
"It's the same for this vote. As long as you feel it's inappropriate, you can vote 'no.' There's no need to feel embarrassed or to give an explanation. After all, it's an anonymous vote, and it's a completely normal thought to not want to express your opinion publicly."
Jiang He was a little touched, "Renshu, you're so thoughtful... Okay, you should go quickly. I'll be the first to cast a 'yes' vote!"
