Soon, the details of the three proposals appeared on the large screen.
[A player has submitted a proposal, which has been reviewed and approved by the community.]
[Over the next hour, all members please proceed to the 'Community Management Office' or vote anonymously on your personal computers.]
[If a proposal receives more than half of the votes in favor, it will be implemented as a basic rule.]
[Proposal 1: Add supplementary rules for the 'Community Security Fund'.]
[Proposal 2: Add rules for 'Medical Supply Management'.]
[Proposal 3: New member candidate - a young male surgeon.]
Each proposal also detailed various specific rules, but since Li Renshu had already explained them thoroughly, everyone just gave them a quick look and had no further questions.
The group began to enter the Community Management Office one by one to vote.
[Voting is complete.]
[The results of the anonymous vote will now be announced:]
[Proposal 1: Add supplementary rules for the 'Community Security Fund'.]
[For: 11 votes.]
[Against: 0 votes.]
[The supplementary rules for the 'Community Security Fund' are established.]
[The portion of earnings not converted into visa time will be converted according to the new rules.]
[Proposal 2: Add rules for 'Medical Supply Management'.]
[For: 11 votes.]
[Against: 0 votes.]
[The supplementary rules for the 'Community Security Fund' are established.]
[All players, please submit proposals as soon as possible to vote for a 'Medical Supply Manager'.]
[Proposal 3: New member candidate - a young male surgeon]
[For: 8 votes.]
[Against: 3 votes.]
[The vote for the new member candidate - a young male surgeon - has passed, the community will screen for this requirement within a certain range and admit a new player who is a relatively good fit.]
Seeing the voting results, a small cheer erupted in the hall.
"Wow! Unanimous!"
"It really is, everyone's so in sync this time?"
"That's reasonable, Renshu's plan was perfectly crafted, there's no reason not to agree."
Most people seemed very happy.
Li Renshu also had a smile on her face, but she said modestly, "Not at all, this is actually the result of everyone's collective effort, I just spent a little more time compiling everyone's opinions.
"I think it's also good that there were dissenting votes for the new member candidate, after all, everyone has different expectations for a new member.
"However, since this proposal has been decided, I hope everyone can welcome this new member with an open and inclusive mindset, okay?"
Everyone nodded one after another, "No problem!"
With the three proposals passed, everyone felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from their shoulders.
As for why they didn't vote for a 'Medical Supply Manager', the reason was simple: everyone knew this position was definitely for the new member, so they would surely wait for him to arrive before voting.
"Everyone's worked hard, let's get some rest!"
"Thanks for the hard work!"
"Goodnight, everyone."
Everyone stood up, said their goodnights, and walked in small groups up different staircases to return to the second floor to rest.
...
Just as Lin Sizhi reached the turn of the staircase, he suddenly heard someone call him from behind.
"Lawyer Lin, wait a moment!"
Lin Sizhi turned his head and saw it was Qin Yao.
"Hm? What's up?"
Qin Yao's expression was a bit hesitant, "There is something, but I'm not sure if I should ask you."
Lin Sizhi thought for a moment, "Then let's find a place to talk."
The two went up to the third floor and found a small, empty room.
It had to be said that the entire community was quite large, both the small main building and the various supporting structures around the community far exceeded the daily needs of 12 people.
You could say that on a normal day, ninety percent of the community area was empty.
The third floor was the same, these intricate small rooms offered excellent privacy and strong soundproofing, as if they were specifically designed to encourage players to have private conversations here.
Qin Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's like this, before, Yang Yuting, she said she wanted to... sigh, what she said was a bit complicated, I didn't quite understand, but it was something about wanting to team up, to vote against things together when necessary."
Lin Sizhi nodded, "Okay, so your question is?"
Qin Yao was a bit surprised, "Huh? Isn't that a problem? Someone in the community is forming a clique!
"Lawyer Lin, why don't you look surprised at all."
Lin Sizhi smiled with a hint of deeper meaning, "The 12 of us have different genders, ages, educational backgrounds, and professions, so our philosophies and values are naturally quite different.
"Wouldn't it be more terrifying if no cliques appeared?
"If everyone was truly of one mind, I'd have to suspect that one of these 12 people is a cultist with mind-control magic."
Qin Yao's shoulders slumped, clearly, she must have gone through a lot of internal struggle before seeking out Lin Sizhi, on one hand, worrying if her actions were snitching, and on the other, worrying that if she didn't say anything, this clique might cause unpredictable damage.
But from Lin Sizhi's reaction, it seemed she was the one making a big deal out of nothing.
Qin Yao was a bit deflated:
"Alright, I just feel that... Fu Chen and Li Renshu have always been thinking about everyone in the community, racking their brains to come up with proposals, and doing their best to comfort everyone and mediate conflicts, and they don't get any extra benefits from it at all.
"But Yang Yuting still wants to form a clique to oppose them, that's a bit not right.
"Of course, I don't think Yang Yuting is a bad person at heart, maybe she just has some kind of persecution complex? I don't know, I'm just talking nonsense."
Lin Sizhi shifted his position to get more comfortable on the sofa, "There are a few too many things to comment on in that sentence, I don't even know where to start.
"How about this, I'll give you two choices now:
"The first choice, you go back to sleep right now, forget all about this, and when it's time to vote, just vote however you want, no need to struggle with whose side you're on, just be a carefree bystander.
"I can guarantee that even if you do this, nothing will change.
"The second choice, I will give you some basic explanations. But, once you've heard these things, the way you see this community might change dramatically.
"This is called the 'curse of knowledge', meaning once you know certain things, you can never go back to your original carefree state."
Qin Yao nervously wrung her hands, "Lawyer Lin, you right now really resemble an investigator from some Cthulhu novel...
"But I still want to know, I want to become as smart as you, I don't want to be a burden to everyone in future games."
Lin Sizhi nodded, "Alright, I respect your choice.
"Let me think, where should I start?
"Hmm, let's start with what you just mentioned. You said, Fu Chen and Li Renshu have always been thinking about everyone in the community, racking their brains to come up with proposals, comforting everyone, and mediating conflicts, all without any extra benefits.
"Are you sure there are no extra benefits?
"Benefits aren't just visa time, there are other intangible things too."
