Rule Research

Ding Wenqiang also looked at Wang Yongxin.

Wang Yongxin was somewhat annoyed. "I'm telling you, that's enough. Why are you always targeting me?

"I didn't set the remaining visa time, so whether it's a lot or a little, what does it have to do with me?

"Do you guys just have to see how much time I have? What are you going to do if I have a lot of time? Are you trying to rob the rich?

"Come on, take a look. I have the same as you, just one month."

Wang Yongxin sidestepped, allowing the person next to him to clearly see the vending machine screen, which indeed clearly displayed: [39 days - 12 hours 49 minutes].

Fu Chen quickly bowed slightly. "Sorry, Brother Wang."

"Hmph," Wang Yongxin said grumpily and continued to complete the payment.

Being forced to prove himself clearly made him uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do, as he realized that if he didn't, he would likely become the target of everyone's anger very soon.

However, this also confirmed to Fu Chen and the others that the basic visa time had little to do with the wealth they possessed in their original world, otherwise Wang Yongxin's time should have been much more than 39 days.

Lin Sizhi returned to the dining table with his rice bowl, and the others also ordered their meals and began to eat.

In the hall, three relatively special groups were conversing in low voices.

They were Su Xiucen and Ding Wenqiang, the older individuals; Jiang He, the newspaper editor, and Li Renshu, the civil servant; and Fu Chen and Wang Yongxin.

There was no need to mention Su Xiucen and Ding Wenqiang. They had already reached a preliminary consensus during the earlier unified condemnation of Wang Yongxin, not to mention their shared commonalities of age and social class.

Fu Chen approached Wang Yongxin, likely realizing the tendency for the group to split and wanting to appease Wang Yongxin as much as possible.

As for Jiang He and Li Renshu, this pair of women was interesting. Lin Sizhi noticed that Jiang He was always enthusiastically initiating conversation, while Li Renshu merely maintained a polite smile and did not engage very frequently.

Apart from their quiet conversations, everyone else ate their own meals in silence.

Clearly, most people had not yet established enough mutual trust with each other.

After eating their fill, everyone placed their tableware in the designated recycling area.

"Huh, there's a kitchen here?" Qin Yao said in surprise.

She noticed that behind an inconspicuous door on the side of the hall, there was a rather spacious kitchen.

It was fully equipped with a sink, gas stove, range hood, and other appliances.

"Oh? Is that so?" Human Resources Manager Xu Tong and programmer Cai Zhiyuan looked somewhat surprised.

In contrast, Su Xiucen and Ding Wenqiang showed no particular reaction.

"Neither of them chose to buy ingredients; instead, they ordered the cheapest ready-made meal, egg fried rice.

"This indicates they noticed the kitchen but chose not to use it."

Lin Sizhi instantly understood the reason.

Individuals like Su Xiucen and Ding Wenqiang would inevitably be far more sensitive to prices than others, so it was impossible for them not to notice the kitchen here.

Yet, they still chose egg fried rice, a very uneconomical option.

This was likely because they lacked trust in others, and "sharing a kitchen" could lead to additional "distribution problems."

On the first day, they wanted to avoid such disputes as much as possible.

However, judging by the price difference between ingredients and finished meals at the vending machine, it was only a matter of time before everyone started using the kitchen.

For the next half hour, everyone acted freely.

Some went to the library reading area to read, while others returned to their rooms to rest.

Afterward, everyone reconvened at the long table to continue discussing the previous agenda.

Naturally, Fu Chen spoke first.

"We previously summarized the three most urgent issues.

"Based on the current situation, our discussion should focus on the trial rules of the gallery, as each of us may participate in the game, either voluntarily or by force.

"Whether it's to earn visa time or to survive, understanding the relevant rules as soon as possible is the most important thing."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Fu Chen looked at civil servant Li Renshu, detective Cao Haichuan, and Lin Sizhi.

"Sister Li, Officer Cao, and Lawyer Lin.

"I believe your professional expertise might offer some constructive suggestions, so during the subsequent discussion, I hope the three of you can express your opinions more. Is that okay?"

Cao Haichuan smiled. "No problem."

Fu Chen continued, "The rules introduced on the big screen earlier also stated that all game rules for the gallery will be updated on our personal computers.

"The personal computers are in the study rooms of our respective rooms. I just went back and confirmed that the relevant information is indeed there.

"However, items within the personal rooms are not allowed to be taken out, so I could only copy a portion of the game rules to discuss with everyone."

Before he could finish, the screen suddenly changed.

[Detected information related to player discussion. Display?]

Fu Chen was stunned. "Oh? It can do that?"

"Display."

As soon as the words were spoken, a special page appeared on the big screen.

On the left side of the page was a list of game names, similar to an encyclopedia.

The main part of the page on the right contained large blocks of text detailing the specific rules for each game.

Fu Chen closed his notebook. "So we can look it up directly on the big screen... I guess I was working for nothing.

"What everyone is seeing now is the same content I found on my personal computer.

"All the games, or rather, trials, that have been completed in the gallery can be found on this website with detailed content and rules.

"At the same time, we can also pay to unlock more information about these games. For example, what the final outcome of the game was.

"If you don't believe me, you can verify it on your own personal computers later."

The crowd first looked at the game names on the left side of the page.

"Needle Chess."

"Weapon Chess."

"Redemption Roulette."

A rough count showed about twenty entries.

Lin Sizhi saw the game "Redemption Roulette" that he had designed. It was located around the middle of the list and didn't seem too conspicuous.

But then, Fu Chen's next words made his expression freeze.

"The rules for each of these games are worth studying.

"However, I believe the highest priority should be given to 'Redemption Roulette'.

"This is because it's the only game currently rated S-Class among all the games."

As Fu Chen spoke, the page on the big screen automatically switched to the content of "Redemption Roulette."

The relevant game rules were clearly listed.

However, Lin Sizhi noticed that only the basic rules were shown; Wei Xinjian's criminal record was absent, as were the specific processes and outcomes of the game's execution.

To view the remaining information, one needed to "pay to unlock."

The price was 24 hours of Visa Time.

This wasn't an unattainable price, but it certainly stung.

The hall fell silent as everyone carefully read the rules for "Redemption Roulette."

Lin Sizhi could only pretend it was his first time seeing it, reading and pondering as he went.

When most people had finished reading the rules, Fu Chen asked, "What do you all think of this game, the only one rated S-Class?"

The programmer Cai Zhiyuan frowned slightly, clearly puzzled.

"May I share my thoughts first?"

Fu Chen nodded. "Of course."

Cai Zhiyuan organized his thoughts slightly and then said, "I completely don't understand why this game received an S-Class rating.

"This seems to be the highest possible score, right?

"But in my opinion, calculating the survival probability of this game from the perspective of rationality, logic, and probability, it's incredibly high.

"Even if I were to play it, the most likely outcome would be emerging completely unharmed."
