Chapter 60 The Young Doctor

Cai Zhiyuan looked at Fu Chen: "We're going to participate in the trial game, and the young doctors will have a physical advantage."

"No matter how skilled a doctor is, he must first live a long life in order to contribute to the community."

Fu Chen hesitated for a moment: "Really? Then we can also choose a doctor who is in his prime, like around 40 years old, right?"
"Young people are not necessarily in good physical condition, and middle-aged people are not necessarily in poor physical condition."

"Moreover, although people with good physical strength may have an advantage in the game, it is not absolute. In many cases, the experience and wisdom of the older generation may be more important."

Lee In-sook interrupted their discussion: "Okay, I think we can stop discussing the doctor topic here. As for whether we want a younger or older doctor, we still have plenty of time, so everyone can take their time to consider it."

"In the end, it was decided by vote."

"Any other suggestions?"

Yang Yuting thought for a moment: "Perhaps, it doesn't necessarily have to be a doctor; it could also be a nurse?"

"Compared to doctors, are nurses better at basic medical procedures such as caring for the injured?"
"Many doctors may only be responsible for prescribing medicine. They may have long since become rusty in techniques such as bandaging and first aid, and they may not necessarily be better than nurses."

"Furthermore, I don't think there's any need to restrict gender. If we're just looking for medical personnel, it doesn't really matter whether they're male or female."

"According to the community rules, we can make requests, but not all of these requests can be met. The community also selects players from a group of new players whose requests are most similar to ours."

"Does that mean the more vague our requirements are, the wider the community's screening scope will be, and the easier it will be to meet the main screening criteria?"
"For example, if we only want 'medical personnel with excellent first aid skills,' wouldn't it be better to select new members with stronger specialized abilities than to simply say 'young male doctor'?"

Fu Chen nodded: "Yes, that makes sense."

Cai Zhiyuan looked at him with some helplessness: "No, it has to be a man."

Wang Yongxin nodded: "I agree. It must be a man. The male-to-female ratio in the community must be 6:6."

Jiang He was unconvinced: "What does it matter? We're not a one-on-one dating show."

"Or do you think women are necessarily inferior to men?"

Cai Zhiyuan was somewhat speechless, and explained: "We must ensure the diversity of the community as much as possible, and distinguish between genders, ages, occupations, and other dimensions as much as possible."

"Because we are unsure what life-or-death situations we will face in the future, the more diverse our group is, the better we can pool our wisdom and efforts."

"The more similar people become, the easier it is to fall into the herd mentality."

Li Renshu looked at the others again: "Any other suggestions? Qin Yao, you can think of another one."

Qin Yao pointed to herself, somewhat surprised: "Huh? Me? I agree with the doctor."

Lee In-sook pressed further, "Besides chefs, doctors, and nurses, think of anything else."

Qin Yao was somewhat stumped. After frowning and thinking for a moment, she said, "How about special forces?"
"Although we already have Officer Cao, it's never a bad thing to have more people who can fight."

"Most games currently prohibit violence, but what if a game does allow violence in the future?"
"The rules of the arcade are varied and anything can happen. If that happens, we can win effortlessly."

The group discussed for a while longer, and each person's opinion had its merits, making it difficult to reach a consensus for the time being.

Lee In-sook gently tapped the table: "Alright, we have fully considered everyone's opinions."

"Everyone should go back and think about it carefully, and you can also discuss it privately."

"Tonight, we will hold another meeting to formally propose and vote on the motion."

After discussing for so long, everyone was a little tired and left the long table to do their own thing.

Cai Zhiyuan gently tugged at Fu Chen under the table and gestured, "Come here."

……

... Cai Zhiyuan led Fu Chen to the third floor, found a secluded room, and locked the door after making sure no one was around.

Fu Chen was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"

He sensed that Cai Zhiyuan was somewhat unhappy during the previous discussion, but he couldn't understand why Cai Zhiyuan was unhappy.

Cai Zhiyuan sat down on the sofa and said with some helplessness, "Fu Chen, you are now the de facto organizer and leader of our community."

"So before you speak, can you think more about it?"

"Does he have absolutely no political awareness?"
"You don't actually think that every time you just call everyone together, let everyone speak freely, take notes, and have everyone vote, the problem is solved? You think your job as the organizer and leader is done?"

Fu Chen frowned slightly: "Isn't that right?"

“There are 12 people in our community, and we need to work together to overcome difficulties. Of course, we should try our best to take everyone’s opinions into account.”

Even if I am the organizer, I can't make a one-man show, can I?

"I don't want to do that, and besides, I don't have the ability."

Cai Zhiyuan seemed to feel a sense of helplessness, as if he were talking to a brick wall. He thought about it for a moment with some irritation, and then said, "Okay, the reason I didn't tell you these things before is because I think you should have these basic political qualities, just like 1+1=2, which is self-evident common sense."

"But now I'm increasingly realizing that many people lack this common sense."

"Okay, let's not get too far off topic and get back to today's question."

"Why do I insist on young male doctors? It's not because of physical fitness at all; that's just an excuse I make up for others."

"The real reason is that older male doctors can be detrimental to community stability."

Fu Chen was somewhat shocked; this statement seemed like a fantasy to him: "Older male doctors are detrimental to community stability? What makes you say that?"

Cai Zhiyuan sighed: "Listen carefully, Fu Chen, I will only say these words to you once."

If you can understand it, then understand it; if you can't understand it, then think about it a few more times.

"If you disagree, that's fine with you, but you must think it through. Even a small action by each of us could bring about earth-shattering changes to this community."

"Let me ask you first. According to the community rules, any proposal—and I mean any proposal—will be passed and implemented as long as it receives more than 7 votes."

"A community can be seen as a small society, so what is its most stable and secure structure?"

Fu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Of course, it's about 12 people working together as one, pooling their wisdom and efforts, and putting their strength in one direction."

Cai Zhiyuan countered, "Is that possible?"
"Are we 12 people a swarm of bees? Don't we have any conflicts of interest or differences in opinion among ourselves?"

"What if a conflict arises between the two? You might say, mediation. But what if mediation fails? Are you just left helpless and do nothing?"

"The stability of any system cannot be considered in favorable circumstances, but only in adverse circumstances."

"Because when things are going well, everyone is friendly and harmonious, and it's as simple as playing house to manage things."

"But in times of adversity, all the contradictions will erupt."

"In order to safeguard the bottom line, we must establish a management system that can maintain stability as much as possible even in the most dire circumstances where everyone opposes everyone else."

"If you give 12 people a voice that is divided into twelve equal parts, then the end result is that no one can get anything done."

"It's like starting a company; there has to be one major shareholder who has absolute voting power. If you divide the power equally, the company will definitely go bankrupt, without a doubt."
