At the moment the game ended, Lin Sizhi realized that he had returned to the community hall.
As Fu Chen began to count the number of people, the results of this game also appeared on the big screen.

[According to community rules, if a player gains more than 20,000 minutes of visa time, 5% is contributed to the Community Security Fund. The remaining visa time will be counted towards each player's visa.]
Seeing this string of numbers, many people instinctively exclaimed.
Although they had expectations about their group's earnings, seeing that other groups also gained so much was still quite shocking.
In this game, Community 17 was a big winner, accumulating over 1.2 million in visa time.
Wang Yongxin was obviously very satisfied with his performance in this game. Even before the broadcast on the big screen was over, he had roughly confirmed that he was undoubtedly the person who earned the most visa time in all of Community 17.
So he habitually went to the vending machine to get a cup of coffee.
"Does anyone want to have a cup of coffee together?"
No one responded, and the hall fell into a kind of eerie silence.
Wang Yongxin was a little surprised, sipping his coffee slowly while turning to look at the others returning from the game.
Then he almost spluttered it out.
"Who is this aunt?"
"Where is Luo Wei? Where is Luo Wei??"
Now Wang Yongxin understood why everyone fell silent after Fu Chen counted the number of people.
Because the group Lin Sizhi was in didn't bring Luo Wei back!
Instead, they brought back an unfamiliar aunt.
Zhou Guifen introduced herself a bit awkwardly, "Hello everyone, I am Zhou Guifen, originally from Community 12."
Zheng Jie, Xu Tong, and Yang Yuting, who participated in the 'Matchmaking Game,' had met her before and greeted her.
"Hello, Aunt Zhou."
But Wang Yongxin obviously couldn't accept this result. Such a big Luo Wei, and after just one game, she was gone?
"Did you guys kick Luo Wei out?!" Wang Yongxin looked at Lin Sizhi and Cai Zhiyuan in shock.
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head, "Luo Wei chose to go to Community 4 herself. We already gave her a chance, but she didn't seize it.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Qin Yao to explain during the review later.
"Or you can spend some visa time to buy the game records and see if I'm telling the truth."
Wang Yongxin's face didn't look too good, his good mood from just coming out of the game was instantly halved.
Since Cai Zhiyuan dared to speak so confidently, it was most likely true.
Qin Yao is not a scheming person; it's impossible for her to lie in line with Cai Zhiyuan's request without a flush of red in her face, especially since you can purchase the individual player's game experiences, making the truth easy to verify.
But this also meant the problem was more serious:
If Luo Wei didn't want to leave, and it was Cai Zhiyuan who plotted a scheme with Lin Sizhi and Qin Yao to kick her out, then this action might cause huge conflict within Community 17.
After all, before entering the game, everyone had just agreed not to actively kick anyone out. Cai Zhiyuan dared to do such a thing, defying general moral principles.
Wang Yongxin could even use this issue to shake the balance of this five-person power core a bit.
Hence, Luo Wei being kicked out could be of some value to Wang Yongxin.
But now since Luo Wei chose to leave on her own, Wang Yongxin couldn't make an issue of it, and he also lost a target he could strive for.
It was obvious that the new aunt Zhou Guifen would stand with them.
This was simply the worst news for Wang Yongxin.
Fu Chen quickly said, "Okay, everyone just got back from the game, it's been hard. Eat something and take a break.
"In ten minutes, we'll start the review of this game."
...
Because there were no casualties, and even the three groups got a lot of visa time, the atmosphere in the hall was lively and wasn't heavily impacted by Luo Wei's departure.
To put it bluntly, Luo Wei had only been in the community for two days and didn't seem to socialize much, so most people didn't have any particularly close feelings towards her.
Moreover, hearing from Cai Zhiyuan that she switched teams on her own initiative, there wouldn't be any good impression left.
Soon, after ten minutes, everyone sat around the long table to start the review of this game.
Li Renshu looked around at everyone, "Which of our three groups should start the review?
"Why don't we start first? After all, we earned the least visa time among the three groups, let's break the ice."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Cao Haichuan, Li Renshu, Fu Chen, and Zheng Jie's group had visa times close to 70,000, probably using strategies that most players could think of and apply.
Li Renshu briefly introduced, "Upon seeing the game rules, our first reaction was that this game is similar to 'Blood Poker,' with methods for three communities to cooperate and evenly share the benefits.
"But compared to 'Blood Poker,' this game's rules are more complex with more variables, necessitating strong constraints to cooperate till the end of the game.
"We started by default as commoners, so we first found another commoner community to form an alliance.
"According to game rules, Wealthy Conglomerate holds a great advantage. If one commoner community abandons another to cooperate with Wealthy Conglomerate, both commoner communities will be thoroughly exploited.
"Our strategy with the other commoner community was negotiating with the Wealthy Community to split the total wealth in a 4:3:3 ratio."
Wang Yongxin raised his eyebrows, "The Wealthy Community agreed?"
Li Renshu nodded, "Yes, they agreed. But on the condition that no one concealed their Identity Cards, and our two commoner communities had to ensure wealth was evenly distributed among the four people at all times.
"In the last two rounds before an elderly player dies, property must be evenly distributed among the remaining three players to avoid creating disproportionately large inheritances.
"Because that might allow the commoners to consolidate wealth and threaten Wealthy Conglomerate.
"Of course, Wealthy Conglomerate would intentionally concentrate wealth on elderly and middle-age players, with middle-age players gaining most of the investment returns, while elderly players mainly consumed the inheritance of previous elderly players, maintaining their wealth advantage."
Wang Yongxin seemed a little perplexed, "This Wealthy Community isn't very competent. With Wealthy Conglomerate advantage, they could try to push the ratio to 2:1:1.
"If Wealthy Conglomerate is more aggressive, it could be achieved."
Li Renshu explained, "Yes, but the problem is they aren't aggressive.
"According to game rules, those initially receiving Wealthy Conglomerate status are most likely from the weakest community among the three.
"In negotiations, they didn't understand the technique of extreme pressure nor did they calculate the optimal ratios; they merely felt that getting an extra 10% and stable income without losing Wealthy Conglomerate status was good enough.
"As for the other commoner community, although they had intentions to seize Wealthy Conglomerate status, we monitored each other.
"Any attempts at tricks by either commoner community would be exposed by the other.
"When pressing the work button, we forcibly grouped in pairs across communities to monitor each other.
"When Wealthy Conglomerate was at risk of being taken over, we suggested Wealthy Conglomerate raise taxes to adjust, preventing another commoner community from succeeding in sneaky attempts.
"Moreover, Officer Cao also played a key role: he's adept at reading micro-expressions and inherently authoritative, so even when the opponent was planning something, without 100% certainty, they didn't dare execute it.
"We maintained a fragile balance from start to finish till the game ended.
"The theoretical upper limit for 20 rounds of this game is more than 1.8 million; we got three-thirds, almost around 65,000 per person."
Obviously, Cao Haichuan's group encountered a two-strong, one-weak scenario.
The Wealthy Community was weak, both commoner communities were strong, but there was no clear strength disparity between the commoner communities, so the Wealthy Community didn't dare side with any party and couldn't control any party.
Though both commoner communities had intentions to seize the Wealthy community status, they couldn't succeed due to mutual checks and balances and undermining.
