Wei Yinzhang paused slightly, organized her thoughts, then said, "Actually, I'm not really a clever person, nor is my personality particularly strong. After entering Community 6 with the identity of an 'Imitator,' I've actually been troubled by this special identity all along."
Zheng Jie was sowhat surprised, "Huh? Sister Wei, aren't you being a bit too modest?
"With your performance in the ga, if that doesn't count as 'clever' and 'strong,' then what does?
"Then what am I, a paracium?"
Qin Yao also nodded in agreent.
In the 'Fool's Ga,' Wei Yinzhang had successfully infiltrated the small group and fooled 'Rabbit' and a crowd of other ‘Sage Players’. In Zheng Jie's view, this obviously required both 'cleverness' and 'strength' to accomplish.
Wei Yinzhang shook her head, "No, no, no, you might have so misunderstandings.
"After all, that was a ga I designed myself. It was my ho field.
"In the ga, the ti you really had available to think about the ga rules was probably just over ten minutes, and you had to constantly monitor oxygen consumption.
"But before entering the ga, I had already thought through the rules hundreds, thousands of tis repeatedly, considered all kinds of situations that might occur.
"All the traps were carefully prepared by for specific groups of people, and I knew all the solutions to these traps.
"You can't assu that just because I perford well in this ga, I would have the sa performance in other gas.
"It's like how the author of a detective novel, if they traveled into their own book, would definitely be a brilliant detective with flawless strategies, but you couldn't expect them to solve cases in reality."
Zheng Jie thought about it and nodded in realization, "Oh, that's also true."
Cao Haichuan played with his lighter, saying thoughtfully, "Thought through the rules hundreds, thousands of tis? That's an exaggeration, right?
"Does the Gallery's invitation to God’s Imitators give that much ti?"
Before this, Community 17 didn't know exactly how many days in advance the Gallery would send ga design invitations to God’s Imitators but reasoning logically, it must be after one ga ended that the next ga invitation was sent, right?
In that case, Wei Yinzhang would have at most less than a week. How could she possibly think it through hundreds or thousands of tis?
Wei Yinzhang shook her head, "No, it's not an exaggeration. I really did consider it many, many tis repeatedly.
"As I said before, I don't consider myself a clever person, so I can only make up for it with diligence.
"As for the ti issue...
"The Gallery indeed only gives ga design invitations three to five days in advance, but that doesn't an I have to design only after receiving the invitation.
"In fact, more than a week after I entered the New World, I already had the prototype of the 'Fool's Ga' in my mind.
"After that, I kept revising and improving it continuously."
Everyone was sowhat surprised, "Ah?"
Obviously, this was very special information.
For Wei Yinzhang, this seed like a very normal thing, but for ordinary players, it was hard to imagine.
Wang Yongxin asked doubtfully, "Wait, when the Gallery issues ga invitations, there must be so specific requirents, right?
"If you designed the ga in advance, how can you ensure it definitely matches the Gallery's requirents?
"Or does the Gallery have no specific requirents at all?"
Wei Yinzhang said matter-of-factly, "The Gallery naturally has specific requirents, and I have no way to ensure my ga will definitely be selected.
"In the ideal state, of course, you'd guess the Gallery's inclinations based on the item list, then make a unique design and get selected.
"But that's only the ideal state. I've tried this thod, but the results were very poor. I basically never succeeded.
"On one hand, it's because ti is limited. Getting ga rules thought up temporarily in just a few days to pass review is already not easy. It's very difficult to make it particularly outstanding.
"On the other hand, the gas God’s Imitators make are related to their own knowledge structure and also to inspiration. Inspiration doesn't co often. Maybe for a long ti, inspiration only appears once or twice.
"I don't know if there are God’s Imitators whose gas always get selected. Even if there are, they should be an extre minority.
"So I thought of a clumsy thod: First, don't worry about what the Gallery's invitation is. Use a long ti in advance to make the ga I'm most satisfied with, think through and revise the details repeatedly, then just wait.
"If I encounter an invitation that completely doesn't match the ga prepared in advance, then I'll think of one myself temporarily and take my chances. But most likely it won't be selected.
"If I encounter a suitable ga invitation, then I'll make so small revisions to the previously completed ga and submit it.
"The 'Fool's Ga' was this kind of situation."
Lin Sizhi nodded, "So this is equivalent to 'guessing the topic.' This ti's situation was that you happened to guess correctly."
Wei Yinzhang nodded, "Right, it's 'guessing the topic.'
"Isn't this a matter of course? Did you think all God’s Imitators only start thinking about specific designs after seeing the Gallery's invitation?
"How is that possible?
"Of course, I don't rule out that a very small number of genius God’s Imitators can do it, but I definitely can't. 'Guessing the topic' is a clumsy thod I thought of myself, but for God’s Imitators who aren't that clever, clumsy thods are more effective."
Everyone couldn't help but suddenly understand.
Obviously, if God’s Imitators didn't share these deeper tricks themselves, it would be very difficult for other players to guess them.
Now that Wei Yinzhang had exposed it herself, thinking carefully, for ordinary God’s Imitators, this was indeed the optimal solution.
The Gallery's invitations to God’s Imitators were like essay prompts.
Those top students could see the topic each ti and then conceive it, giving a decent work within limited ti. Occasionally when inspiration ca, they'd get a perfect score directly but the vast majority of students couldn't do this.
Rather than improvising on the spot, it was better to prepare several essays in advance according to different types to guess the topic. If they didn't guess correctly, they'd improvise temporarily. But if they happened to guess one and just needed to revise it slightly before submitting, that would be a huge profit.
Moreover, God’s Imitators who didn't realize this strategy would be at a big disadvantage.
Because everyone had prepared plans in advance, and very likely plans in different styles, that was equivalent to each ti the Gallery issued an invitation, there would always be so God’s Imitators who could take turns guessing the topic correctly.
Gas that successfully guessed the topic were all designed long in advance, having gone through weeks of additions, deletions, and revisions. They would definitely be more competitive than the vast majority of gas thought up temporarily.
Wei Yinzhang summarized, "So don't think that I can casually design sothing and co up with rules as complex as the 'Fool's Ga' in just a few days.
"Even more so, don't think that in other gas, I could have the sa performance as in the 'Fool's Ga.'
"Just like how many directors can only make one good movie in their lifeti, the fact that I can never design a similar ga again in the future is the more likely scenario."
Hearing this news, most people's expressions weren't disappointed, but rather relieved.
Originally, God’s Imitators had given everyone too much pressure, especially when analyzing those highly-rated gas. After analyzing for a long ti, they would only feel that God’s Imitators were unbeatable but now it seed that the vast majority of God’s Imitators couldn't possibly maintain that high level all the ti. 'Guessing the topic' like Wei Yinzhang was the norm.
Wei Yinzhang's explanation also effectively 'demystified' God’s Imitators for everyone, and instead increased their sense of security sowhat.
