Li Renshu looked at Wang Yongxin and nodded.
Obviously, their previous conversation, especially the discussion about the Gallery’s attitude toward God’s Imitators and players, had given Wang Yongxin so inspiration.
Fu Chen looked at the ga rules and said sowhat puzzledly, "I have another question.
"Couldn’t the male players unite from the beginning and use ‘Dislikes’ to threaten the female players in return?
"Everyone clearly only had one like and one dislike per hour. Before the killing rules were clear, the deterrent power of dislikes was the sa.
"But after four hours, it beca females having more likes and males having more dislikes, with male players making comprehensive concessions."
Wang Yongxin explained, "This is where the ga design is ingenious, or rather, full of malice.
"The designer forcibly cut off all connections between players. Communities and sa-gender groups couldn’t discuss strategies, only communicating through broadcast data.
"The reason male players couldn’t unite as you suggested is because of a very important principle: ’The Principle of Fortunate Avoidance.’
"For example, in real life you’re soone who lives comfortably without worries about food and clothing. One day on the street you accidentally bump into a furious drunk, it might be him who hit you, but the optimal choice at that mont is for you to actively apologize.
"This ga issued all male players a blank check for 30,000, actually making male players the relative ’fortunate ones’ in the ga, so they would spontaneously tend toward active avoidance.
"Combined with the discipline of original social rules, the natural alliance ford by female players due to their ’victim status’ (random deduction of visa ti), the inability to communicate with each other within the ga, and other factors, the strategy you’re thinking of would be almost impossible to implent.
"Because if you don’t give, plenty of others will. As long as so male players make concessions out of the ’Principle of Fortunate Avoidance,’ then your threat to have females give dislikes becos aningless.
"Just like in reality, males are also generally considered the party that benefits more from marriage. Although I don’t agree with this view, it can explain certain phenona.
"Of course, getting more dislikes and having advantages in the latter four hours is another matter entirely."
Jiang He added, "And doing that would really make it easy for Lawyer Lin to mistakenly kill you as a God’s Imitator, right?"
Everyone laughed. Although this ga was indeed very dangerous, the joy of returning safely made it seem even sweeter.
Li Renshu looked at the visa ti inco she had recorded earlier and nodded thoughtfully, "So, in the end it was 31 players evenly splitting all of that God’s Imitator’s ti.
"No wonder your visa tis all have remainders.
"But... exactly how much visa ti was it?"
Yang Yuting quickly calculated with paper and pen, "I had no additional expenses or inco throughout this ga, only the parts randomly deducted by the ga chanism.
"3 minutes deducted per hour, so 6 hours should be 18 minutes total deducted, so one share of ti should be... 24322.
"Multiplied by 31 gives the total ti: 753,984 minutes."
Everyone fell into silence, obviously all sowhat shocked by this astronomical figure.
Zheng Jie realized sothing was wrong, "Wait, you didn’t spend a penny in this ga? Never went Split on room fees even once? Didn’t buy food or water either?"
Yang Yuting thought about it, "In my first four etings I only encountered one female player, Lu Xinyi, and she actively paid the room fee.
"As for the other male players, they not only actively paid room fees but also brought food and water. I had no place to spend money.
"Later I was always matching with trustworthy players, so I never encountered new players requiring Split again."
Zheng Jie was thunderstruck. Obviously the gap between people in this ga was bigger than the gap between people and dogs.
Players with a "wealthy beauty" image like Yang Yuting, even without adopting any sophisticated strategies, could easily win just by displaying normal human-level intelligence but thinking that male players ultimately left the ga with 30,000, his psychology balanced out again.
Yang Yuting looked again at the total visa ti she calculated and sighed, "750,000 visa ti is indeed quite a lot, but unfortunately, divided among 31 players doesn’t leave much."
Jiang He sighed, "Are God’s Imitators all so wealthy? It’s an astronomical figure I can’t imagine at all."
Cao Haichuan corrected, "Strictly speaking, this should be the total visa ti of all the deceased in the ga.
"When the God’s Imitator is alive, this visa ti belongs to her, but when she dies, this visa ti gets evenly distributed among the surviving players in the ga."
Jiang He looked at Yang Yuting again, "So, the 30,000 minutes of visa ti from mutual liking at the end is gone?"
Yang Yuting nodded, "Yes, it should be gone, probably because this ga didn’t end normally, but was forcibly settled after the God’s Imitator’s death."
Cai Zhiyuan was thoughtful, "That ans there would be two different settlent rules.
"If ’ga end’ is the settlent condition, then when forcibly ended due to God’s Imitator death, it would still settle normally. For example, ’male players indiscriminately receive 30,000 minutes of visa ti.’
"But if it uses ’last eting’ as the condition, then it couldn’t settle normally."
Jiang He said regretfully, "That’s such a pity!"
Zheng Jie shook his head, "It’s not really a pity, because the rule about ’extra likes and dislikes costing money’ also didn’t settle, otherwise I would have been charged a lot.
"And most importantly, we ca out alive.
"In that situation, even one more eting could have been life-threatening, let alone persisting to the last eting."
Li Renshu pondered for a mont, "So, now we’ve co to a very crucial question.
"Could Zhong Yuanyuan be the God’s Imitator who designed ’King’s Judgnt’?
"Uncle Ding previously participated in ’Blood Poker’ together with Community 1. So we can’t rule out the possibility that players from Community 1 recognized Uncle Ding and targeted him."
Cai Zhiyuan took the paper and pen and quickly calculated.
"We can’t determine it through visa ti.
"Too many deaths. Once the data is slightly averaged out, it’s no longer accurate, and we can’t calculate Zhong Yuanyuan’s original ti."
Everyone initially tried to estimate exactly how much visa ti the God’s Imitator had. If it was more than 250,000, there would be a possibility it was the God’s Imitator from ’King’s Judgnt.’
But obviously this thod wouldn’t work.
Cao Haichuan spun his lighter in his palm, "I tend to think that Zhong Yuanyuan and the God’s Imitator from ’King’s Judgnt’ are not the sa person.
"Her killing thods and visa ti harvesting thods are sowhat crude.
"The Gallery gave ’Blind Date Ga’ a very low rating, while the God’s Imitator who designed ’King’s Judgnt’ could get an S rating. No matter how much their level declined, it wouldn’t drop to this extent.
"Even if the goal was simply and brutally harvesting ti, it should be done more skillfully."
If they could prove that Zhong Yuanyuan was the God’s Imitator who designed ’King’s Judgnt,’ then her death at this mont would give many people present great peace of mind but unfortunately, no matter how they looked at it, it didn’t seem likely.
Wang Yongxin coughed twice, "It doesn’t matter. Even if this was just a not-so-brilliant God’s Imitator, being able to root her out from the ga wasn’t easy. This experience is worth summarizing.
"More importantly, this God’s Imitator showed us a kind of completely new possibility we hadn’t considered before.
"God’s Imitators can actually cooperate with players to turn entire communities into scam operations?
"The Gallery would actually allow such blatant rule-breaking."
Everyone fell into silence. Obviously, Wang Yongxin’s question was equally puzzling to others.
Before this, the vast majority of people understood the relationship between God’s Imitators and players as completely antagonistic.
God’s Imitators design gas to slaughter players, while players need to survive in gas and then find ways to locate and counter-kill God’s Imitators.
Killing the other party would allow them to seize the other party’s visa ti.
The community rules also clearly stated this from the beginning.
[Hidden among all players is a special type of dangerous elent: ’God’s Imitators.’ They design gas for the Gallery and complete judgnts of players.]
[When players die in the Gallery, the designer of the corresponding ga will obtain all remaining visa ti of that player.]
But the specific case of ’Blind Date Ga’ clearly demonstrated the possibility of cooperation between God’s Imitators and players.
