God's Imitator Chapter 509 509: Protection of the Weak

Wei Yinzhang explained: "In the 'Tarot Ga', the number of Wealth Coupons a player can obtain doesn't entirely depend on their strength.

"In the first half, strength and luck are split about fifty-fifty: even if you are very strong, if the 'thief' or 'sage' opponents don't cooperate and use extre defensive strategies, your gains will be quite limited.

"In the latter half of the ga, gains depend entirely on team strategy for distributing 'Blood Packs'.

"Although this stage involves Lawyer Lin, , Cai Zhiyuan, and Boss Wang, Boss Wang participates the least.

"Luck plays a part in this, but..."

Lin Sizhi added: "But Cai Zhiyuan indeed made corresponding arrangents."

He looked at Dai Yifan: "Xiao Dai should be very clear about this."

Suddenly being nad, Dai Yifan felt a bit flustered: "Brother Lin, I..."

Lin Sizhi slightly shook his head: "You don't need to explain anything, we are not here to hold you accountable for taking orders from Cai Zhiyuan.

"If we were to hold anyone accountable, probably few in the community would be innocent.

"You only need to tell us specifically what Cai Zhiyuan had you do.

"This is a confession session, let's all be open and honest.

"Of course, we also have no need to pursue anyone afterwards."

Feeling uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, Dai Yifan reluctantly said: "Brother Cai told , that once entering the ga, I don't need to wait and should imdiately snatch the 'Emperor' mask."

This surprised many people.

Clearly, although others more or less ca into contact with Cai Zhiyuan's arrangent, they only touched part of it, unable to see the whole picture.

Zheng Jie asked in confusion: "But what's the point of doing that?"

Wei Yinzhang explained: "Let's rewind ti to before the start of the 'Tarot Ga'.

"It is now clear, the second and third parts of the ga were designed by and Cai Zhiyuan.

"In other words, Cai Zhiyuan directly decided the final rules of reward and punishnt, and the exit rules, using this chanism to plot against Boss Wang.

"Before the 'Tarot Ga', after Yuting played that mini-ga with everyone, Cai Zhiyuan specifically raised the issue that 'the mask might be duplicated'.

"And he proposed the idea of 'snatching the sa mask'.

"Then suggested setting Boss Wang's 'Emperor' as the first priority, rather than Lawyer Lin's.

"If we must say, this strategy's role in the ga is very limited.

"The reason Cai Zhiyuan raised this was not to discuss strategy or optimize the ga plan, but just to make Dai Yifan's subsequent behavior of taking the 'King' mask in the ga appear less abrupt.

"To conceal the true intention of this action: in the 'Tarot Ga', to divert the community players' attention from Boss Wang."

Wei Yinzhang sighed softly: "Actually, this point only dawned on later.

"I lack that quick wit, many things co to only after the fact.

"Dai Yifan snatching the 'Emperor' mask imdiately could entail several possibilities:

"First, he and Boss Wang are on the sa team, but his hands aren't as quick as Boss Wang's, not getting the 'Emperor' mask, then nothing happens.

"Second, he and Boss Wang are in different teams, then they are likely to each take one 'Emperor' mask, and Dai Yifan's action of directly snatching the mask won't be exposed.

"Third, he and Boss Wang are on the sa team and he snatches Boss Wang's mask, it seems hard to cover up in post-ga recap, but can still be brushed off by saying 'nervous', 'didn't watch the ti', 'poor cooperation', or 'Boss Wang hesitated'.

"In short, regardless of the situation, the risk is fairly controllable.

"But the gains from this are quite obvious:

"Since Dai Yifan perford well early on, many people mistook him for Wang Yongxin."

Zheng Jie suddenly realized sothing and looked at Dai Yifan: "Wait!

"Then how did Cai Zhiyuan ensure Dai Yifan would have a good performance at the start?

"Because of the practice from Yang Yuting's previous ga? That's not certain either, right?"

Dai Yifan hesitated a bit but eventually said: "Actually, before the 'Tarot Ga' started, Brother Cai had hinted to .

"He told part of the ga's rules and arranged corresponding strategy for ."

Once again, surprise appeared on many faces.

"Hinted? Isn't the Imitator not supposed to reveal the content?

Wei Yinzhang explained: "The red line at the Walkway is dynamic, not fixed.

"The severity of revealing varies in different levels.

"Certainly revealing to all community players is not allowed, but revealing to only one or two people is acceptable;

"Revealing all rule details is not allowed, but revealing only part is acceptable;

"Moreover, the Walkway always provides various privileges to outstanding imitators, many behaviors that are forbidden to other players and imitators, even if the S-Class imitators perform them, the Walkway turns a blind eye.

"In short, through such arrangents, Cai Zhiyuan ensured to the extent possible that Dai Yifan would get the 'Emperor' mask in the ga, and stand out early, drawing attention.

"We would instinctively view him as Boss Wang.

"This way, it's easier to confirm each other's identity when matched initially, and to so extent, establish collaboration, increasing gains.

"Even if upon recognition, it is found that the other is not Boss Wang but Dai Yifan, cooperation strategy won't necessarily change."

Qin Yao frowned: "But won't people find out eventually?

"Xiao Dai can't pretend to be Boss Wang forever; once the community players ask, he has to tell the truth, otherwise wouldn't it reveal ulterior motives?"

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "Yes, after matching to Dai Yifan, we confird he wasn't Boss Wang.

"But in this stage, Cai Zhiyuan actually utilized another chanism and psychology.

"Which is the community's 'weak protection' unwritten rule."

Li Renshu pondered for a while: "Understood.

"Because even after confirming the 'Emperor' is Xiao Dai and not Brother Wang, everyone wouldn't withdraw the care from Xiao Dai but turn their care to Brother Wang instead.

"Because President Wang is a 'strong', Xiao Dai is a 'weak', thus Xiao Dai still needs more care, while Brother Wang does not.

"Similarly, Aunt Zhou and Shen Xing are also weak, whom we must bring back to the community, so when transferring Wealth Coupons, we must prioritize them.

"As for the 'strong' themselves, like Cai Zhiyuan and Brother Wang, no one would intentionally care about them, and in so rounds, perhaps there isn't even an arrangent of fixed matching partners for Brother Wang.

"Brother Wang can surely choose to match other players and earn Wealth Coupons properly through gaming, but by then, the players willing to match won't be weak, no matter how much is earned, it can't exceed the transfer Wealth Coupons limit."
