Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: A New Invitation

Hearing this, many people nodded in satisfaction.

Although just a resident trainee, they were in surgery, after all.

Actually, Zheng Jie's age was a bit too young compared to the candidate everyone had previously expected, but the relevant rules had already stated that the selection couldn't be completely customized. It was just a matter of screening for the most suitable person from a large pool of available players.

A little younger was fine; it was sufficient to meet the community's current medical needs.

"It just so happens there are two injured people in the community. You can help take a look at them," Fu Chen said.

Zheng Jie quickly nodded, "Okay, okay."

He checked the wounds on Wang Yongxin's and Cai Zhiyuan's shoulders, then said, "It's nothing serious, and the bandaging technique is perfectly fine, just... a little bit rough.

"Let me handle it next time the bandages are changed."

Yang Yuting praised, "Not bad, Dr. Zheng, you're quite reliable."

Zheng Jie looked a little embarrassed, his face flushing, "No, no, I'm a doctor. This is all just part of my job."

Jiang He suggested, "Perfect timing. Didn't we have an unresolved issue from yesterday?

"We still need to vote for a 'Medical Supplies Administrator' to help us manage the entire community's medical supplies. I don't think there could be a better candidate than young Dr. Zheng.

"Shall we go vote now?"

The crowd headed to the community management office to vote, while Li Renshu, with a slightly serious expression, explained the detailed rules of 'Medical Supplies Management' to Zheng Jie, as well as the necessary duties of the supplies administrator.

This included purchasing corresponding medical supplies immediately after an injury occurs, submitting a detailed report to the community after every 10,000 minutes of visa time are spent, giving a brief report, and so on.

Auntie Su wasn't present, so Xu Tong made a special trip to her room to knock on the door and notify her to complete the vote on her personal computer.

[Community 'Medical Supplies Administrator' vote has been completed.]

[The results of the anonymous vote will now be announced:]

[Zheng Jie: 12 votes.]

[Zheng Jie will become the 'Medical Supplies Administrator' in the community and assume the corresponding responsibilities within the rules.]

A burst of cheers and applause erupted in the hall.

Zheng Jie stood up, a bit embarrassed, and bowed to everyone, "Thank you for your trust! I will definitely fulfill my duties seriously and do my job well!"

Clearly, as a new player who had joined on the first day, he had a very good impression of Community No. 17. Everyone was very warm and friendly.

If it weren't for the terrifying life-and-death games everyone talked about, this so-called new world would actually be a very warm place.

Xu Tong suggested, "Today is a day worth celebrating. To welcome young Dr. Zheng, why don't we have a group dinner tonight?

"There are still many dishes in the vending machine that we didn't get to order last time."

Although it still sounded like a logical suggestion, it didn't get an immediate response from many people.

While some people clearly had the same idea, they were still hesitant.

Li Renshu shook her head slightly, "Dr. Zheng has just arrived in the community and isn't familiar with many things yet. I think we should give him some time to settle in a bit.

"We can have a group dinner anytime, there's no rush."

Xu Tong nodded, somewhat confused, "Oh, okay. Well then, welcome to young Dr. Zheng!"

Fu Chen stood up and said, "I'll take you to your room on the second floor. You can settle in and get some rest first.

"This afternoon, I'll show you around the community to familiarize you with the environment. Of course, if you want to walk around by yourself, that's fine too."

Zheng Jie quickly nodded, "Thank you, Brother Fu Chen."

After the two left the hall, Li Renshu tugged on Xu Tong's clothes and said in a low voice, "Your suggestion was good, but please be mindful of the current atmosphere in the community.

"It's a good thing Auntie Su isn't here. If she heard that, she would definitely feel sad.

"Let's wait at least a few more days, until everyone has had some time to process things, then we can talk about a group dinner."

Xu Tong was startled and whispered, "Ah, I'm sorry, I was careless.

"Alright, let's talk about it another day then."

Li Renshu patted her arm, "I know. In this environment, everyone's nerves are on edge, and it's normal to want to relieve stress through group dinners or other means.

"Once this period passes, we'll consider having another group dinner."

...

...

In the evening, Lin Sizhi returned to his room and, as usual, turned on his computer to check it.

This time, a new message appeared on the computer.

[Hello, Lin Sizhi.]

['Death Line' was not selected, but being rejected by the Arcade is a necessary path for every Imitator to approach godhood.]

['Death Line' will still be included by the Arcade as an alternative. If a suitable opportunity arises, it still has a small chance of being re-selected as a non-judgment type game.]

[Alternatively, you can modify it and resubmit it in a future invitation.]

[In three days, the Arcade will launch several different 'Screening Games'.]

[The screening targets not only players, but also Imitators.]

[To date, a large number of failed Imitators have not met the Arcade's requirements: they have consistently failed to submit any game design proposals with a rating higher than B-grade.]

[Two days ago, the Arcade already sent out design invitations for this 'Screening Game' to these Imitators, and they have already completed their game designs.]

[As an outstanding Imitator, you can assist the Arcade in judging whether these Imitators are qualified to continue surviving in the new world.]

[The Arcade will show you 'partial rules' of a certain 'Screening Game'.]

[If you approve of this Imitator's design, you don't need to do anything, nor do you need to participate in this game.]

[If you do not approve of this Imitator's design and believe they should be 'sanctioned' or 'purged', then the Arcade will allow you to add or modify 3 to 5 rules in the game.]

[Please note: These rules will be submitted to the Imitator who designed the game for review. Only with their approval will these rules be written into the game's design proposal.]

[Once the other party accepts your suggestions, then when this game begins, whether voluntarily or by force, both you and this Imitator must enter the game.]

[You are free to make your decision, but please remember:]

[Just as players can slowly change the community, Imitators will slowly change the Arcade.]

After carefully reading all the information on the computer screen, Lin Sizhi pulled open his desk drawer and skillfully took out a proposal document from inside.

It was a completed game proposal, but it was severely missing pages.

The Arcade did not reveal all the rules of this game.

As for why, Lin Sizhi wasn't sure either, but just like the few files provided before were also incomplete, it seemed the Arcade enjoyed increasing the difficulty for Imitators by hiding some of the rules.

This seemed reasonable: because in the Arcade's judgment, Lin Sizhi was an 'outstanding Imitator', while the other party was a 'failed Imitator'.

If Lin Sizhi were to see all the game rules, the duel between Imitators might become one-sided and lack any suspense.

The Arcade wanted to purge these failed Imitators, but not to the point of giving them no chance of survival at all.

Four words were neatly written on the proposal: 'The Matchmaking Game'.

On the first page, there was also a line of key data: [Estimated Player Death Rate for this Game: 40%~70%].

This was a required field in the proposal for a screening-type game, filled out by the designer themself.

Tentatively scheduled to go on sale on the 5th. I'm thinking of releasing the entire new game on the 5th, which should be about 16 chapters in total. For next month, if you have guaranteed monthly tickets, you can save them and vote on the 5th. If you don't have monthly tickets, that's okay too, just a subscription will be great.
