God's Imitator

Chapter 147: Differences in Community Ecosystems


Quickly, after another round of the game, Luo Wei noticed that the wealth share of Community 4 had once again exceeded 50%.

It must be said that the situation where Wealthy Conglomerate players' wealth share exceeds 50% does indeed happen frequently, with a probability much higher than Luo Wei had imagined.

Clearly, the proposition by Lin Sizhi that "Wealthy Conglomerates can gain priority on investment returns" has given the Wealthy Community a significant advantage, ensuring they have absolute control in terms of wealth share.

This was also an important reason why Han Mengying agreed to this proposal.

If the 2:1:1 ratio had not been agreed upon in advance, the rate of wealth expansion in the Wealthy Community would likely far exceed the two Commoners' Communities.

As for how much faster this expansion truly is, Luo Wei couldn't calculate it in a short period.

Because the situation in each round of the game is too complicated, communities frequently invest or collect investment returns, with the method of distributing returns varying each time.

Such complex situations cannot be updated in real-time with all the data, and it's certainly beyond what a human brain could quickly compute, even for an actuary.

Of course, it's unnecessary to really calculate every step in detail.

Just calculate the wealth share of each community every round, and then make approximate adjustments in the next round; it doesn't necessarily have to be that precise.

Luo Wei approached the players of Community 4: "Your wealth share has exceeded 50% again. Right now, Community 12's share is the lowest. You should invest in Community 12 this time, giving all the returns to the investees."

Han Mengying agreed readily: "No problem."

She instructed Sun De, who had already been chosen as 'Finance', to go to the Notary Office to invest in Community 12.

This kind of behavior had already occurred many times, so it wasn't particularly novel.

Luo Wei was still contemplating what kind of excuse to use to help in a way that would not seem abrupt, but to her surprise, Han Mengying spoke up spontaneously.

"You're an actuary, can you help us with the calculations? I want to know, based on the current return situation, how many rounds of the game it would take to reach a total wealth of 500,000 and 1,000,000 respectively.

"I need very precise answers."

Luo Wei feigned hesitation, not agreeing immediately.

Han Mengying smiled: "No worries, there's still plenty of game time. You can take your time to consider.

"However, I'm quite interested in Community 17. Since there's nothing else to do, could you briefly tell me what the ecology of Community 17 is like?"

Luo Wei became instantly guarded and countered: "Then why don't you introduce the ecology of Community 4?"

Unexpectedly, Han Mengying did not refuse; instead, she smiled and agreed.

"No problem, I can introduce it to you.

"Because the ecology of our Community 4 is perfect.

"No one can find an exploitable weakness. On the contrary, smart people will learn from our community's ecology, ultimately making all communities converge."

Luo Wei suspiciously sized up Han Mengying, unsure if she was bluffing.

Han Mengying smiled and said: "Actuaries should be smart people. As long as I point out a few core points, you'll understand that what I'm saying is correct."

...

In the time that followed, Luo Wei frequently traveled between Community 4 and Community 17.

Such personnel movements weren't all that conspicuous because, to constantly adjust the wealth ratio, each of the three communities had someone similar to an 'Envoy'.

And the role of 'Envoy' usually wasn't played by Finance players since people like Qin Yao and Zhou Guifen were already fully occupied just with accounting.

As the game proceeded, the game content gradually stabilized, and players' time became less pressed.

Aside from initially having to press a button in the Work Area, the rest of the time was relatively free, with many people even having time to chat casually.

"How is it?" asked Cai Zhiyuan as he saw Luo Wei return once more.

Luo Wei silently shook her head: "Couldn't find any breakthrough points.

"Their wealth structure is seamless. They can always ensure one senior and one able-bodied player in the management team.

"Especially the senior player, who constantly keeps a Wealth Value of 150,000 to 200,000. Even if we add up all the earnings from one round of the game, we can't reach these figures."

Though Commoners can also concentrate wealth, since no one can hide their Identity Card, as soon as a Commoner's Wealth Value gets too high, they will arouse suspicion.

The Wealthy Conglomerate players will come to negotiate, and if negotiations fail, they will undoubtedly raise various taxes, especially inheritance tax, to disrupt Commoners' attempts to concentrate wealth.

Therefore, under the game mechanics, it's absolutely impossible to wrest control from the senior management.

Cai Zhiyuan then asked: "What about their community's ecology? I noticed that although these four players are led by Han Mengying, it's visibly a state of three supporting one.

"That Sun De player seems to have no say whatsoever. Could we create discord from his position?"

Luo Wei shook her head: "Almost impossible.

"Sun De is indeed a puppet, but he follows Han Mengying's decisions without daring to resist.

"As for the other two, although they have slightly less say than Han Mengying, the three of them can mostly reach a consensus, forming a very stable situation.

"The possibility of internal strife is almost zero."

Cai Zhiyuan said nothing more, only nodding his head: "You've worked hard."

Luo Wei hesitated for a moment: "Wait, actually, I still want to ask... will our community's ecology always remain as it is now?

"Don't get me wrong, I haven't revealed any issues of our community's ecology to Community 4, but it isn't hard to see that Han Mengying is very smart and keen.

"She said that if we continue to forcefully carry... burdens in every game, one day, these people will become fatal weaknesses, leading us to total failure.

"Our community's organization is indeed... not highly cohesive."

Evidently, Qin Yao might not be much smarter than the players of Community 12, and her stumbling into such high-level gameplay was directly the responsibility of others in Community 17.

Cai Zhiyuan decisively replied without much thought: "Yes, our community will not actively abandon any weak individuals.

"The community's structure will not change."

This was a very certain answer, leaving no ambiguity.

Luo Wei nodded: "Hmm, good, I think that's quite alright."

...

The ninth round of the game concluded.

[Current total wealth: 452,000 minutes of visa time]

Seeing this figure, many people displayed smiles of delight.

There are still eleven rounds remaining, time is ample, and the situation looks positive.

Although it is still necessary to ensure the wealth ratio between the three communities continues, and it may not be possible to reap full investment returns each round, it is conservatively estimated that another 700,000 to 800,000 can still be earned.

This is an extremely remarkable figure.
