After briefly comforting all the players in front of the screen, the young man with round-frad glasses began to sing.
It was a soothing, lodious song, and his singing was quite good, making even Zheng Jie instinctively click “Interesting” for him.
"Good, it seems there are still many rational players."
This made Zheng Jie feel slightly relieved.
Perforr No. 2 was a girl who still had tear stains on her face. While waiting for the young man to finish his performance, you could faintly see her body trembling slightly.
Zheng Jie noticed there seed to be a small water stain on her chest as well, not knowing if it was from crying too much or so other reason.
[Community 12, Zhao Duo]
Zheng Jie almost couldn’t help wanting to give her an “Interesting” vote in advance.
However, as soon as the microphone switched to Perforr No. 2, the big screen transmitted words that shocked Zheng Jie imnsely.
"Don’t believe him, he’s lying!!"
Perforr No. 2’s tearful shout directly destroyed the atmosphere that had just stabilized sowhat.
Zheng Jie was also stunned.
Lying? What did she an?
The young man had only said to stay calm and restrained throughout, and ntioned that killers’ resources weren’t unlimited.
These were all truths, where was the lie?
Zheng Jie’s attention was completely drawn to the talent show on the big screen.
"Two players are already dead!
"They were both female players with many likes! Is this a coincidence?!
"What does this an?
"Just like the sister I t with earlier said, many male players have already started taking action!
"The number 1 contestant just now, I don’t know if you did it intentionally or accidentally, but your words will cause very serious misleading to all female players!
"What do you an ’the dislikes in killers’ hands are limited’?
"The ga is still ongoing, we’re still having etings. As long as male players exchange dislikes with each other, they can still steadily gain 3 dislikes in the next three hours!
"If in the final one or two etings, these male players who have accumulated 5 dislikes all commit murder together, it would be enough to kill all female players, not leaving a single one!
"You hear these words with ulterior motives now and maintain restraint and rationality, but no matter how you exchange ‘Dislikes’ later, the number of dislikes won’t be as many as male players have!
"The final result is only one: all female players die! All visa ti gets taken by male players and God’s Imitators!
"Even if you’ve ford fixed partnerships, they can completely change their minds in the final eting!
"So there’s only one thing you can do now, which is to use the ’reporting’ chanism for self-protection before enough male players exchange and collect 5 ‘Dislikes’!
"This is the only way to survive this ga!"
Zheng Jie’s brows furrowed into knots. After just hearing the beginning, his hand had unconsciously reached for the “Boring” button.
"How can she do this!!"
Zheng Jie was angry because this contestant’s behavior was blatantly inciting conflict. The harm of such statents was even greater than killing in etings.
Because killing had costs for players. Whether consuming 6 “Likes” or 5 “Dislikes,” it would be hard to kill a second ti in the short term.
But this contestant’s speech directly incited hatred among all players. As long as a few players believed it, several more lives would be lost imdiately.
Pressing “Boring,” as long as 20 people did it, could imdiately cut off the talent show performance.
But before pressing it, Zheng Jie hesitated briefly, because according to the second phase ga rules, cutting off the talent show performance through “Boring” was equivalent to directly killing the perforr.
Zheng Jie wasn’t completely psychologically prepared for killing yet.
After struggling for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and still pressed the button.
"Whatever, my life is also in danger. At this ti, how can I have the energy to care about so much else!
"If other female players listen to what she said and want to report , then she’s actually murdering too. Why can’t I fight back?"
However, after pressing the “Boring” button, nothing happened.
Until Perforr No. 2 finished speaking and ended the talent show, and the results appeared on the big screen, nothing still happened.
[Perforr No. 1 cumulatively received 22 “Interesting” votes, earning 2 additional “Likes.”]
[Perforr No. 2 cumulatively received 17 “Interesting” votes, earning 1 additional “Like.”]
Seeing this result, Zheng Jie deflated completely.
He understood that even pressing the “Boring” button was aningless because he couldn’t gather 20 votes.
The players who clicked “Interesting” couldn’t and absolutely wouldn’t actively click “Boring.”
There were 40 players total in this ga, 20 male and 20 female players each.
If all male players clicked “Boring,” it could indeed reach 20 votes, but that possibility was low because so would inevitably hesitate or not have ti to click.
From the 17 “Interesting” votes, it was even possible that so male players had given Zhao Duo “Interesting” votes.
Because the two currently dead players were both female, plus the current talent show perforr herself, female players had at most 17 votes.
So of these female players definitely didn’t agree or didn’t want to click “Interesting,” so the only explanation was that so male players had also clicked “Interesting.”
Regardless, Zhao Duo had completely finished this series of inflammatory words and had an irreversible impact on the entire ga’s progress.
After calming down, Zheng Jie realized that if standing from female players’ perspective, her words were truly too damaging and too inflammatory.
So far, almost all players had understood the ga’s basic rules.
According to the matching chanism, there would be one sa-gender match for every three or four matches.
Unlike opposite-gender matches which easily caused friction, sa-gender matches were generally easy to negotiate.
Behaviors like exchanging likes and dislikes between sa-gender players might have been rare in the first 4 hours, but would increase dramatically in the latter 4 hours.
This ant that large-scale dislike exchanges among male players was indeed possible.
As long as these male players had three or four dislikes previously, they could very likely accumulate five during the subsequent dislike exchange phase.
What about female players? They had many likes, but likes couldn’t offset dislikes or prevent them from being killed.
They could kill through reporting, but reporting required accumulating three tis.
That ant if female players did nothing, then by the final eting, the worst-case scenario would be:
Male players would first agree to exchange likes, ensuring they could get an additional 30,000 minutes of visa ti, then press "murder" in the last second before the eting ended, consuming their final 5 dislikes.
At that mont, female players would have absolutely no ability to resist, and one report’s counterattack would be ineffective.
The only solution would be to consu “Likes” first, use the reporting thod to accumulate three tis and kill male players in advance, before most male players had exchanged and accumulated 5 dislikes.
But this was exactly the problem:
If you kept reasoning according to this logic, both sides would beco a spiral of mutual harm:
Female players would indiscriminately report male players, and reported male players would indiscriminately murder female players.
The final result would be rivers of blood.
Due to the ga’s special chanism, players matched in pairs. Even if everyone was initially restrained by conscience, in the final eting, as long as there was a cascading collapse, massive deaths were entirely possible.
Did thods exist for self-protection through “Likes” or “Dislikes”?
They existed, but the conditions were harsh and extrely cost-ineffective.
To avoid being killed by male players, female players would need to exchange “Dislikes” among themselves as much as possible. As long as the number of dislikes exceeded those of male players who wanted to kill them, they would be safe.
But the problem was that most female players originally had relatively few dislikes. Even after exchanging, they would still die when encountering male players with more dislikes.
Moreover, whether exchanging “Likes” or “Dislikes,” each eting could only choose one.
And sa-gender etings only occurred once every three or four tis.
Compared to exchanging dislikes, exchanging likes was obviously more worthwhile for female players because 2 likes could perform one "report."
Although it wouldn’t cause imdiate death, as long as enough female players were all reporting simultaneously, the killing speed wouldn’t necessarily be slow.
The sa applied to male players. Although they could protect themselves by exchanging “Likes,” obviously exchanging “Dislikes” had better cost-effectiveness.
In summary, up to now.
The “Blind Date Ga” had beco a "Killing Competition."
