Ding Wenqiang also looked at Wang Yongxin.
Wang Yongxin was somewhat exasperated: "I say, isn't it enough? Why are you always targeting me?
"It's not like I set the remaining visa time. Whether more or less, what does it have to do with me?
"Do you guys simply have to see how much time I have? If I have more time, what are you planning to do? Rob the rich, is it?
"Come, take a look, I'm just like you, one month."
Wang Yongxin sidestepped, allowing the people nearby to see the screen of the vending machine, which indeed clearly displayed: [39 days-12 hours 49 minutes].
Fu Chen hurriedly bowed slightly: "Sorry, Brother Wang."
"Hmph." Wang Yongxin continued to complete the payment irritably.
Being forced to prove himself clearly made him uncomfortable, but there was no alternative because he realized that if he didn't do this, he might soon become a target of public criticism.
However, this also confirmed for Fu Chen and the others that the basic visa time was not closely related to the wealth value they held in the original world. Otherwise, Wang Yongxin's time should be much more than 39 days.
Lin Sizhi returned to the table with a bowl of covered rice, and the others also ordered their meals and began eating.
There were three relatively special groups quietly conversing in the hall.
They were Su Xiuqin and Ding Wenqiang, who were relatively older, newspaper editor Jiang He and civil servant Li Renshu, as well as Fu Chen and Wang Yongxin.
Needless to say, Su Xiuqin and Ding Wenqiang had already reached a preliminary consensus during the previous joint criticism of Wang Yongxin, not to mention they shared dual commonalities in age and class.
Fu Chen approached Wang Yongxin, likely aware of the group's tendency to split and trying to appease Wang Yongxin as much as possible.
As for the female combo of Jiang He and Li Renshu, it was quite interesting. Lin Sizhi noticed that Jiang He was always the one eagerly seeking topics, while Li Renshu just maintained a polite smile, without frequently engaging in conversation.
Aside from them quietly conversing, everyone else ate in silence.
Obviously, most people had not yet established enough mutual trust.
After eating, everyone placed their dishes in a designated recycling area.
"Oh, there's a kitchen here?" Qin Yao exclaimed in surprise.
She noticed that just behind an inconspicuous door on the side of the hall, there was a fairly spacious kitchen.
There were kitchen sinks, gas stoves, and exhaust hoods - all the necessary equipment.
"Oh? Is that so?" Human resources manager Xu Tong and programmer Cai Zhiyuan were somewhat surprised.
In contrast, Su Xiuqin and Ding Wenqiang had no special reaction.
"Neither of them chose to buy ingredients, but ordered the cheapest ready-made dish, egg fried rice.
"This indicates they have already noticed the kitchen's existence but chose not to use it."
Lin Sizhi instantly understood the reason behind this.
People like Su Xiuqin and Ding Wenqiang must be more sensitive to prices than others. It's impossible for them not to notice the kitchen.
Yet they still opted for the very economical choice of egg fried rice.
This may be because they lack trust in others, and a "shared kitchen" might create additional "distribution issues."
On the first day, they wanted to avoid such disputes as much as possible.
However, judging by the price difference between raw ingredients and ready-made food at the vending machine, using the kitchen would be a matter of time for everyone.
Over the next half-hour, everyone moved around freely.
Some went to the reading area to read, while others returned to their rooms to rest.
Later, everyone gathered back at the long table to continue the previous discussion topics.
As expected, Fu Chen was the first to speak.
"Previously, we summarized the three most urgent issues.
"Based on the current situation, our discussion should focus on the trial rules of the Walkway since each of us may actively or passively participate in the game.
"Whether to gain visa time or to survive, understanding the related rules as soon as possible is the most important."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Fu Chen glanced at civil servant Li Renshu, officer Cao Haichuan, and Lawyer Lin.
"Sister Li, Officer Cao, and Lawyer Lin.
"I think your expertise might provide some constructive suggestions, so during the discussion, I hope you can share more of your opinions, okay?"
Cao Haichuan smiled: "No problem."
Fu Chen continued: "Earlier, the rules introduced on the big screen also mentioned that all rules of the games in the Walkway will be updated on our personal computers.
"The personal computer is in each of our study rooms, and I just went back to confirm it. There is indeed relevant information.
"However, the items in the private rooms are not allowed to be taken out, so I could only jot down part of the game rules to discuss with everyone."
But before he finished speaking, the screen on the big display changed.
"Detected relevant information being discussed by players, display it?"
Fu Chen paused: "Oh? It can do that?"
"Display."
As soon as he spoke, a special page appeared on the big screen.
The left side of the page was a list similar to an encyclopedia website, with many game names.
The main part on the right side consisted of lengthy texts, explaining the specific rules of each game.
Fu Chen closed his notebook: "We can directly search on the big screen? I ended up busying myself for nothing.
"What you're seeing now is the same as what I found on my personal computer.
"All games or trials completed in the Walkway can have detailed content and rules viewed on this website.
"At the same time, we can also pay to unlock more information about the game, such as the final outcome of the game.
"If anyone doesn't believe it, you can verify it on your personal computer later."
Everyone first looked at the list of game names on the left side of the page.
'Needle Jump Chess'.
'Weapon Endgame'.
'Wheel of Redemption'.
...
A brief glance revealed there were over twenty entries.
Lin Sizhi saw the game he designed, 'Wheel of Redemption,' roughly in the middle of all entries, seemingly not standing out much.
But immediately, what Fu Chen said made his expression stiffen.
"All of these games, every single rule is worth studying.
"But I believe the highest priority should be 'Wheel of Redemption.'
"Because this is currently the only game rated as S-Class among all the games."
As Fu Chen spoke, the page on the big screen automatically switched to the content of 'Wheel of Redemption.'
The relevant game rules were clearly listed.
However, Lin Sizhi noticed that it only included the basic rules, not Wei Xinjian's criminal dossier, nor the specific process and outcome of the game's execution.
If you want to see the remaining information, you need to 'pay to unlock.'
The price is 24 hours of visa time.
This isn't an unattainable price, but it does feel painful.
The hall became quiet as everyone seriously read the rules of 'Wheel of Redemption.'
Lin Sizhi had to pretend it was his first time seeing it, reading while contemplating.
Once most people had roughly finished reading the rules, Fu Chen said: "What do you guys think about this game, the only one rated as S-Class?"
Programmer Cai Zhiyuan furrowed his brows, clearly puzzled.
"Can I share my thoughts first?"
Fu Chen nodded: "Of course."
Cai Zhiyuan organized his thoughts briefly and said: "I completely don't understand why this game could achieve an S-Class rating.
"This seems to be the highest rating, right?
"But in my opinion, from the viewpoint of rationality, logic, and probability, calculating the survival chances of this game seems incredibly high.
"If I were to play, the end result would most likely be unharmed."
