Lu Bingjun chuckled dismissively, "This kind of analysis is a bit too omniscient.
"The rule to examine the Imitator should have been imposed by Walkway onto the Imitator. We encountered a similar situation in the first phase of the ga.
"However, Xu Yiheng obviously took much precaution to mitigate risks.
"He deliberately split this ga into four zones and restricted players to only et with adjacent rooms, aiming to maximize the disruption of interaction among players.
"When we listened to them recounting the ga process, we could distinctly feel this divide: even though they were in the sa ga, they were completely unrelated to each other.
"In such circumstances, the information all players gather is severely limited. The vast majority of players don’t even know Xu Yiheng’s na. How can they identify him?
"To identify Xu Yiheng requires many steps: surveillance, communication, confirming suspicion, finding evidence, spending all dical points, convincing at least half of the players to vote.
"If any step fails, Xu Yiheng could remain safe and leave unscathed."
Shen Bowen nodded in agreent, "Yes, I understand that. But from the perspective of the ga chanism, these things aren’t impossible, are they?
"If players could first confirm they have obtained special dicine to ensure their own safety, there would be ample ti and motive to use surveillance and communication functions, seeking out the Imitator."
Lu Bingjun waved his hand, "Being able to do sothing is one thing, whether you will actually do it is another.
"Suppose you’re a strong player in the ga facing two choices: first, shut yourself in a room and spend a lot of dical points trying to find the Imitator, if unsuccessful, lose everything; second, use other ga chanisms to extract dical points from weaker players.
"How many would choose the forr?
"Obviously, the latter is more reliably profitable."
Shen Bowen was silent for a while; she seed like she wanted to argue but felt it was futile and difficult to reach a definite conclusion.
So after a mont of silence, she looked at Lin Sizhi, "So, Lawyer Lin, what’s your view?"
Lin Sizhi glanced at the two of them, "I don’t think your perspectives are fundantally in conflict.
"Xu Yiheng’s skill, among the Imitators, shouldn’t be bad, but it’s not top-tier.
"The key point is: an Imitator with lots of visa ti is not necessarily the strongest."
Qin Cheng nodded, "Yes, I agree.
"Previously our analysis clearly fell into a trap, assuming a wrong premise.
"The incorrect premise was: since Xu Yiheng could win the design right in the first ga of the second stage, he must be a top-tier Imitator.
"And the fact that he earned so much visa ti further reinforced this false impression.
"But upon reflection, perhaps having money, winning the bid in this ga election first, and less effective at hiding one’s intentions, these three traits have so internal connection?"
Qin Cheng paused slightly, then continued to explain, "Earning visa ti is only a part of the Imitator’s ability, not the entirety.
"Let’s assu there are two Imitators, one stronger, but there are many strong players in the sa region, so he is more cautious, not designing or participating in potentially risky gas, only taking action at critical tis;
"whereas the other is slightly weaker without strong players in the sa region, or these strong players have no intent to target him, so he actively participates in risky gas, trying all possible ans to earn as much visa ti as possible.
"Thus, the latter will certainly have more visa ti but likely won’t survive as long as the forr."
Shen Bowen nodded, "Yes, I agree with this viewpoint.
"Take this ga invitation for instance, we currently don’t know exactly how the bidding is conducted among the Imitators, but since it’s the ’first ga,’ it could either drive Imitators into a frenzy or make them deliberately avoid it.
"Let’s assu all relatively strong Imitators lack visa ti.
"Therefore, under cautious Imitators generally choosing to hide themselves, for an Imitator like Xu Yiheng to ultimately erge, it’s not surprising."
Lu Bingjun also frowned in contemplation for a mont, eventually nodding.
"Your aning is...
"Originally, thinking this ga is for each Imitator to showcase abilities and choose the strongest, but actually, it turned into the strongest Imitators all hiding themselves and pushing a greedy-minded Imitator out to test the waters?
"Hmm... when you put it that way, it does make sense."
Everyone fell into a brief silence.
Initially, many players like Deng Xiao, Geng Yuxia, and Wen Wan felt fortunate at the Imitator’s death. After all, it was the first ti they encountered a strong Imitator dying in a ga, distributing considerable visa ti.
At the sa ti, they felt a bit regretful, thinking it would have been good to have entered the ga themselves.
But now it seems, Xu Yiheng’s death does not signify the player’s victory or the Imitator’s defeat.
This ga seed more like a re appetizer, with Xu Yiheng as the sacrifice other Imitators tacitly pushed onto the table.
Other Imitators may have used their visa ti due to fiercer competition, unable to bid higher; or upon reaching a certain bid, realized the excessive risk and chose to withdraw.
Or simply planned to abandon it from the start.
So ultimately, it was a comparatively weak and high-risk-inclined Imitator like Xu Yiheng who erged.
...
Lu Bingjun clapped his hands, "Well, the results of this ga were indeed unexpected, it’s a good start, but we also must be cautious and not beco complacent.
"Let summarize several key points of this ga.
"Then you can supplent afterwards."
Everyone nodded, especially Qin Cheng, Huang Shengjie, and Lu Qi, all listening attentively.
Lu Bingjun briefly organized his thoughts and said, "First is the issue of pre-paying visa ti.
"Now it appears adopting the ’designated selection’ instead of ’free bidding’ thod was correct.
"If so communities adopted bidding, once competition occurred, the overall prepaid visa ti would increase, thereby affecting strategic freedom in the ga."
Lu Qi was still a bit confused, quickly raising her hand to ask, "How does it affect strategic freedom?"
Lu Bingjun explained, "Because this ga, in terms of ’identity allocation,’ actually has hidden rules.
"According to the official rules, identities are distributed based on pre-stored dical points: below 10,000 is a regular patient, 15,000 to 20,000 is a VIP patient, 20,000 or more might beco sales.
"But based on the ga’s actual situation, it can be inferred there are at least two hidden rules:
"First, the identities of doctor and auditor are screened based on knowledge background and certain special factors.
"For instance, Dr. Qin only pre-stored 10,000 dical points yet still got the doctor identity.
"Second, it will attempt to distribute the five players from each community participating in the ga among four regions, with at most two players in the sa region.
"So in retrospect, we were executing the optimal strategy.
"If free bidding, there could be a dire scenario:
"Players lacking dical expertise entering the ga, resulting in no players being assigned to positions like doctor or auditor.
"Moreover, there would likely be only one sales person, with other players all assigned as patients, utterly incapable of cooperating.
"From this perspective, our collective decision-making was very correct."
