Soon, Li Renshu introduced the specific situation of the community and the Gallery to Luo Wei.
From Luo Wei’s expression, she should have just arrived in the New World. When hearing information related to "life-and-death games," the terror and wariness that naturally revealed in her eyes didn’t seem fake but compared to Zheng Jie, Luo Wei’s reaction was obviously different.
When Zheng Jie first came to Community 17, he basically didn’t show much wariness. Whatever most people asked, he would answer, and sometimes he would even voluntarily answer things that everyone hadn’t asked about but Luo Wei was obviously intentionally protecting her private information.
After asking several questions, they only confirmed her age and profession: 34 years old, actuary.
Actually, when they first saw her, many people were somewhat puzzled.
Because from her appearance, she didn’t look like she was in her forties at all.
Now it was confirmed that the community indeed couldn’t find an actuary in her forties according to the players’ requirements, but only satisfied the two criteria of gender and profession.
Regarding this result, although they were somewhat unsatisfied, there was nothing they could do about it.
Because community recruitment was screening, not wish-fulfillment. When multiple requirements were given simultaneously, the community would only select someone relatively suitable from a pile of people, and this kind of deviation was hard to avoid.
Wang Yongxin explained, "Not too certain. Currently, the game startup interval is roughly 5 to 7 days, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter.
"The startup time is generally in the morning.
"It’s been five days since the last game started.
"So tomorrow or the day after, both are possible."
Luo Wei’s expression became more serious, "According to what you’ve said, the average profit from one game is about 30,000 minutes of visa time, which is 20 days.
"One game every 5 to 7 days, with an average of 4 people selected, meaning one would be selected once every three games.
"Even under the premise of surviving in the game and earning 30,000, one can barely guarantee not dying. It’s quite impossible to not participate in games for long periods or purchase supplies in the community without looking at prices."
Li Renshu comforted her, "That’s roughly correct, but there’s also the possibility of earning 50,000 or 100,000 at once from a game."
Luo Wei quickly calculated, "100,000 is equivalent to a little over two months. That’s not much either."
Wang Yongxin felt somewhat helpless. This was the first time he had seen someone in this community with an even bigger appetite than his own.
"100,000 is a lot. This is the New World. Think about how to stay alive first, then consider how to earn more visa time."
Luo Wei nodded, "I know. It’s just that when I make plans, I’m used to considering maximum profit and optimal solutions from the beginning. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
"A bit of occupational hazard. Please don’t mind."
Fu Chen enthusiastically introduced, "On the personal computer in the room, you can view detailed rules of previous games. If you spend additional visa time, you can also view the specific experiences of a certain player within the game.
"But it’s not recommended to spend extra money purchasing this, because the information is crude and very expensive.
"Many people in our community are firsthand participants of those games. If you want to understand details, directly asking players within the community is a better choice.
"I’d be very happy to answer related questions."
Fu Chen had said similar things to Zheng Jie before, and Zheng Jie had immediately agreed happily but Luo Wei didn’t give a clear response, just nodded, "Thank you, but I’m still used to analyzing by myself first, to avoid being influenced by preconceived notions from some incorrect ideas."
Fu Chen felt that he had been given the cold shoulder, but he wasn’t too concerned about it. Thinking about it, perhaps it was because of gender?
"Then if you have questions, feel free to ask other female players in our community. I believe they would all be happy to answer for you."
Qin Yao nodded, "Right, right."
Luo Wei still nodded coolly, "Thank you.
"Then let me go to my own room first? I should be in room 8."
Jiang He and Xu Tong stood up, "We two will accompany you. We’re most familiar with the route to room 8."
Arriving at the room entrance, Luo Wei prepared to swipe her visa bracelet to enter but she suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, there’s another question I need to ask. Who is the player currently performing best in games in this community?"
Xu Tong and Jiang He looked at each other and said in unison, "Lawyer Lin."
Luo Wei thought for a moment, "What about the second best?"
The two still didn’t consider for too long, "It should be Wang Yongxin. His performance in ’Blood Poker’ was also outstanding."
Luo Wei didn’t ask more, "Alright, thank you."
After saying this, she entered the room and closed the door.
After finishing dinner, Wang Yongxin was thinking about how to approach Luo Wei without seeming too abrupt but unexpectedly, when making eye contact with Luo Wei, she gave him a meaningful look.
Wang Yongxin was somewhat surprised, but also immediately understood. He stood up and left the lobby.
After a moment, Luo Wei also nonchalantly followed.
The two came to the small room on the third floor, one after the other.
"You actually took the initiative to find me. This indeed makes me feel somewhat surprised. I was originally thinking about when would be appropriate to find you." Wang Yongxin sat down in one of the single-person sofas.
Luo Wei also sat down in another single-person sofa, "The life-and-death game might start tomorrow. Of course I need to figure out the situation as quickly as possible.
"Time is pressing. I’ll ask directly if I have any questions. You shouldn’t mind, right?"
Wang Yongxin nodded, "Of course I don’t mind. I like speaking straightforwardly."
Luo Wei looked seriously at his expression, "I feel like you don’t seem to be in this community’s power core.
"Is that my illusion?"
Wang Yongxin was somewhat surprised, because Luo Wei had just arrived at this community today and hadn’t participated in any game reviews or motion discussions.
Today everyone had only done simple recruitment, with Li Renshu and Fu Chen introducing the community’s personnel composition and basic rules to her.
Logically speaking, ordinary people shouldn’t be able to see any "power core," no, they might not even realize such a thing existed in the community.
This was enough to show that Luo Wei had extremely high political sensitivity.
Wang Yongxin nodded and said quite frankly, "Your feeling is correct.
"This community’s current power core is Li Renshu, Cai Zhiyuan, Lin Sizhi, Cao Haichuan, and Fu Chen.
"You might not have remembered clearly who they are yet. Let me mark them with their professions: civil servant, programmer, lawyer, police officer, streamer."
Luo Wei frowned, "This composition is very unreasonable, extremely unreasonable.
"How did the programmer and streamer get mixed in?
"Moreover, since you’re acknowledged by many people in this community as the second-best performer in games, why aren’t you in there?"
Wang Yongxin didn’t answer directly, but asked back, "For you, is this the most important issue right now?
"Shouldn’t you first understand the specific rules of the games?"
Luo Wei still insisted on her viewpoint, "For me, both are equally important.
"After chatting with you about this issue, I’ll return to my room tonight to study the game rules myself."
