Two days later, morning.
"Morning."
"Morning."
Fu Chen was still like usual, among the earliest group to wake up.
Cai Zhiyuan seed like he hadn't slept too well. After all, as a programr, his body had been in a sub-healthy state for years, making him one of the more fragile players among them.
At this mont, he ordered stead buns and soy milk, sat across from Fu Chen, and ate slowly.
He seed to be constantly thinking about sothing. After eating for a while, he said to Fu Chen, "Do you think there's still a possibility of situations similar to the last 'group battle' appearing in future gas?"
"Group battle?"
Fu Chen pondered for a mont, "Your way of putting it has actually enlightened . There really is such a possibility."
In the previous ga, the 12 players from Community 17 were divided into three different groups and participated in three different gas respectively.
From the results, each player's gains were highly related to their group's collective decisions.
So, assuming that before entering the ga, everyone was already prepared for this and reached so kind of consensus, they could better coordinate within the limited ga ti, or gain certain advantages when playing life-and-death gas against players from other communities.
Community 3 was like this, and indeed beca quite a formidable opponent.
Cai Zhiyuan nodded, "Exactly. I also thought of this point through the situation of Lawyer Lin's group.
"Those four Community 3 players had obviously reached a consensus within their community from the beginning, so even though Lu Xinyi's on-the-spot decisions seed to severely damage the interests of the other three players, she still received support.
"This was also a key factor in her deceiving Jiang He.
"As for Wang Yongxin's group, due to lack of mutual trust beforehand, they had difficulty reaching consensus, which caused the split.
"Although from the results, Wang Yongxin was the beneficiary of the split, and Jiang He and the others' losses were compensated by Lawyer Lin, what if the next ga is the type where 'lone wolves have no way out'?
"We still need to prepare in advance for such situations."
Fu Chen nodded seriously, "That makes sense."
The reason Jiang He was deceived before was certainly because she didn't think of this aspect herself, but there was also another very important reason: she subconsciously assud that Community 3 players were the sa as Community 17, having just arrived in the New World not long ago and couldn't possibly have ford particularly close mutual trust relationships yet, which is why she participated in that ga.
If she had realized from the beginning that "Community 3 might be a black shop," the outco might have been different.
"But our situation is still very different from Community 3.
"Community 3 most likely proposed harsher proposals than ours, such as complete equal distribution of all chips earned by all players after each ga.
"But the players in our community wouldn't accept such proposals.
"At most, we can only make verbal appeals, asking everyone to cooperate with people from the sa community as much as possible when assigned to the sa group in the next ga.
"But even if we don't make such appeals, everyone knows this. After all, if you can cooperate with familiar people from your community, who would go looking for outsiders?
"As for establishing one or several absolute cores like Community 3 did, where everyone else must unconditionally obey in gas...
"It feels like our community currently doesn't have such soil for that."
Fu Chen raised a new question.
Cai Zhiyuan had finished breakfast and wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Mm, I understand.
"Without knowing the specific content and rules of the next ga, it's indeed difficult to make any particularly detailed arrangents now.
"But I think there's at least one point we can discuss with everyone first, as a preventive asure.
"That's the situation of 'voluntary participation.'"
Fu Chen was stunned for a mont, "You an, encouraging everyone to voluntarily participate in gas? That might be sowhat difficult."
According to the rules announced by the Gallery, there were two different chanisms for selecting ga players: one was mandatory participation, and the other was voluntary participation.
Cai Zhiyuan explained, "We haven't encountered voluntary participation situations yet, but since this chanism clearly exists in the Gallery rules, there will inevitably be problems: suppose the number of people voluntarily participating is obviously more than the number of players the ga can accommodate, what then?
"I suspect the Gallery might screen according to certain rules.
"But regardless of what screening rules they use, two points probably won't change:
"First, the earlier you register, the easier it is to be selected.
"Second, the more people who register, the easier it is to be selected.
"So, suppose a group ga appears in the future where so players from our community have already been selected for mandatory participation, then other players should imdiately register for voluntary participation to grab the remaining spots."
Fu Chen imdiately understood, "You an, sowhat similar to 'illegal teaming' in gas?"
So-called illegal teaming refers to situations in gas like battle royale where the ga itself doesn't allow teaming, but many players queue together to enter the sa ga session and spontaneously team up in the ga to target other players, thereby improving their chances of winning.
"It sounds feasible.
"If we have the majority in a certain multiplayer ga, we could easily gain advantages and squeeze out people from other communities.
"But would the Gallery allow such obvious rule loopholes to exist?"
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head slightly, "I think there's no need to overly mystify the Gallery. The Gallery appears to control everything, but the specific ga rule designs are all made by people.
"Since they're made by people, there's a good chance loopholes exist.
"Even those ga designers might try to leave backdoors in gas."
Fu Chen thought seriously for a mont, "That's also true.
"Players who integrate their communities earlier and realize the importance of teamwork will inevitably have more advantages in upcoming gas.
"But there's another problem:
"What if the ga itself is very cruel with high elimination rates? Wouldn't players from the sa community going in together get wiped out in one go?
"If that really happens, it might be better to participate separately."
Cai Zhiyuan was sowhat helpless, "But thinking like this becos too much like a thousand-layer cake, and we can't reach a definitive conclusion.
"Suppose our community chooses to participate separately while other communities choose group participation. Then, with fixed elimination rates for each ga, we would always be at a disadvantage."
Fu Chen thought seriously again for a mont, "Mm, you're right. Overall, having as many people participate as possible would still be more stable.
"I'll talk to everyone about it later, but this can only serve as so kind of initiative, it can't be mandatory."
...
anwhile, Wang Yongxin had also co downstairs and ordered a hamburger and a cup of coffee from the vending machine.
He had just sat down on a single-person sofa by the window and placed the hamburger and coffee on the coffee table when he saw Ding Wenqiang walking toward him.
Wang Yongxin instinctively beca alert.
However, the next second, Ding Wenqiang ca before him and said sowhat awkwardly, "I ca to apologize to you."
Wang Yongxin was stunned, "Huh?"
Ding Wenqiang said, "I might have had so prejudices against you before, and my attitude wasn't good. Don't take it too much to heart."
Wang Yongxin quickly stood up, "No, no, no, Uncle Ding, you're being too serious. You're an elder, if anyone should apologize, it should be apologizing to you.
"I think we just have so differences in philosophy, but our hearts for the community's good are the sa.
"We're all n, we won't take such small matters to heart, right?"
Ding Wenqiang nodded, "Right, that's what I think too.
"...Alright, then you continue with your breakfast."
He seed to want to say sothing more, but after racking his brains couldn't think of topics, so he sowhat awkwardly raised his hand in greeting and ended this conversation.
Wang Yongxin also sat back down to continue enjoying his breakfast.
Obviously, the change in Ding Wenqiang's attitude toward him was largely due to the community security fund.
Wang Yongxin supported the community security fund and indeed contributed 5% of his earned chips to it.
Ding Wenqiang directly benefited from this security fund, so his view of Wang Yongxin would naturally improve.
"Money can eliminate conflicts, and money can certainly buy friendship too.
"Heh, this place isn't much different from the real world."
Wang Yongxin looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and stretched leisurely.
However, just then, new information suddenly appeared on the big screen.
[Good morning, players!]
[The "Gallery" will open in 5 minutes.]
[This ga is called "King's Judgnt," with the ga objective being "Judge the Sinners."]
[Mandatory participants from this community are: Wang Yongxin, Ding Wenqiang, Cai Zhiyuan.]
[This ga has a small number of voluntary participation spots, which will be randomly selected from all registered players.]
[Please prepare yourselves, players.]
