God's imitator

Chapter 65 The Nature of Power

Qin Yao seemed to understand somewhat, and she nodded slightly: "Yes, it seems that's indeed the case..."

"If it were an older doctor, they could also have a corresponding explanation."

"For example, older doctors have more experience and more professional knowledge, which can be of greater help to us in solving the mystery."

"If Lee In-sook had said those words back then, she would have received the same approval from many people."

"This vote has 8 votes. 11 people only need 6 votes to get more than half, so there are still 2 votes left to spare."

"In other words, even if Lee In-sook's proposal is more unreasonable than 'young male doctor,' it can still be implemented even with two more dissenting votes."

Lin Sizhi continued, "Yes."

"When she rejected nurses, she used the reason that 'doctors have more systematic medical knowledge,' but when choosing between older or younger doctors, she did not take this into consideration."

"This shows that she actually had multiple standards when selecting people, and all of these multiple standards actually had a hidden standard behind them."

"Not only that, she first discussed the second proposal, which actually determined that there would definitely be someone to manage medical supplies. After everyone agreed to the proposal, it would naturally follow that they would also agree to recruit a new doctor."

"After Li Renshu finished speaking, Cai Zhiyuan first expressed his support, and then he called out my name and Officer Cao's name."

"After the two of us supported this proposal, we have already formed a situation of four to five votes in favor. Considering the weight of my and Officer Cao's opinions, this will further influence the attitude of the swing voters."

"Therefore, the discussion chaired by Li Renshu had a completely different result from the discussion chaired by Fu Chen this morning."

"Everyone's views haven't actually changed much, but as long as the meeting facilitator makes slight adjustments to the details of the meeting in places that aren't noticed, they can naturally achieve their goals."

"If this ability to make a final decision in a ambiguous space isn't power, then what is it?"

Qin Yao's expression was still somewhat incredulous: "According to what you said, Attorney Lin, the option of a young male doctor was deliberately induced by Li Renshu to be chosen by everyone."

"Besides the reasons that are obvious, she actually had other reasons."

"But I can't think of any other reason?"

Lin Sizhi smiled and said, "Treat this as a homework exercise and figure it out on your own."

He stood up to leave.

Qin Yao also stood up: "Wait, I have one last question."

"Attorney Lin, if it's really as you say... then what should we do? Are you worried that Fu Chen or Li Renshu will become dictators?"

Lin Sizhi shook her head: "I'm not worried for now."

"I'm telling you all this just to explain why Yang Yuting tried to contact you privately, wanting to form a small group."

"You don't have to think of her as so bad, nor do you have to think of Lee In-sook as so good."

"Yang Yuting's behavior is a natural self-protective reaction to being excluded from the center of power. This only shows that she is politically sensitive and has nothing to do with her character."

Similarly, Lee In-sook's actions are an attempt to expand her own influence and power. But after expanding, will she use this power to unite the community and give us greater strength to meet external challenges? Or will she use this power to pursue more private interests?

"It's hard to say. I'm not a mind reader, nor am I a god who can predict the future."

"But in general, any community will inevitably form a new power structure after friction. This trend is irreversible. The only question is what the final form of this structure will be."

Qin Yao nodded thoughtfully: "Then... Attorney Lin, what's your choice?"

Lin Sizhi looked at her: "My choice? I'm on the side that will win."

Qin Yao was somewhat confused: "Huh? Attorney Lin, shouldn't you step forward with a stronger sense of justice, become a new power center, and lead our community to become stronger and stronger?"

Lin Sizhi shook her head: "I can't do it."

“Everyone has a special niche in political life. For example, Wang Yongxin’s natural niche is that of a leader. Therefore, the small groups that already have leaders will not accept him, so he can only start from scratch.”

"And I am naturally unsuitable to be a leader."

"Besides, the leader isn't always the one who benefits the most from a group. I'm going back to rest now. Don't think too much about it; who knows, maybe our community will be wiped out in the next game?"

Qin Yao looked shocked: "This won't comfort anyone at all!"

……

……

The next morning.

Although no one specifically organized it, most players still spontaneously gathered in the lobby.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own business. Some people picked up a book from the library and read it in the rest area, while others seemed more expectant, glancing at the community entrance through the floor-to-ceiling windows from time to time.

Finally, a prompt message appeared on the big screen.

[The new player's visa application has been approved, and they will automatically be added as the new player number 10.]

Please guide new players to join and familiarize them with the relevant community rules to avoid violations.

The community is full and has automatically closed; no new players will be accepted.

Hearing the notification tone, everyone cheered.

"coming!"

At the entrance to the community, a somewhat reserved young man looked hesitantly towards the lobby.

He wore black-framed glasses, had a slightly round face, a light stubble on his chin, and a rather thin build.

Fu Chen had already opened the lobby door to welcome them: "Come in, welcome to Community 17."

The young man was flattered to see so many people standing up to welcome him: "Hello everyone, my name is Zheng Jie, you can just call me Xiao Zheng."

Fu Chen smiled and asked, "You're a doctor, right? Then we should probably call you Dr. Zheng."

Zheng Jie was somewhat surprised: "Huh, how did you know I'm a doctor? Although my name is often joked about as being suitable for a doctor, you seem very certain, not like you're just guessing."

"And what exactly is this place?"

Fu Chen ushered him inside: "Sit down and rest first. This is a long story, let's talk about it slowly."

"Tea or coffee?"

Zheng Jie thought for a moment: "Do you have green tea? I prefer green tea."

"Yes." Fu Chen used the social security fund to buy a steaming cup of green tea from the vending machine and brought it to Zheng Jie.

The others also sat down around the long table.

Let me explain the current situation first.

Based on his understanding, Fu Chen explained the relevant rules of the New World, the Community, and the Corridor to Zheng Jie in detail, and then introduced him to the other members of the 17th Community.

The biggest question about Zheng Jie is: as a new player, is this his first time in the new world?

It's also possible that after some communities lost too many players, the new world split up those communities that couldn't gather enough players and then distributed the players to other communities.

However, during the conversation, Zheng Jie was clearly unaware of the relevant rules of the new world.

Both the delight at the community benefits and the fear of the veranda trial were clearly not feigned.

Zheng Jie also gave a brief introduction of his identity.

He is 25 years old and currently a graduate student. He is also undergoing standardized residency training in the hospital's surgical department. His formal title should be "professional master's degree resident trainee," but he is generally referred to as "Dr. Zheng" in the hospital.

Before entering the new world, my last memory was working late into the night.
