God's Imitator

Wang Yongxin leaned back in his chair, once again falling into deep thought.

After a long while, he nodded, ”Alright, although I don’t completely agree with your viewpoint, from the current situation, what you’re saying is indeed very persuasive.

”Thank you for giving me these explanations.

”Did you think of all this by yourself?”

Li Renshu shook her head, ”Of course not, I’m not that smart.

”But I believe that as long as we listen to more opinions, we can always find smarter solutions.”

Wang Yongxin stood up from his seat, preparing to leave the room.

”Although our two philosophies might have differences, I also have to admit... you do seem much more reliable than Fu Chen.

”I temporarily acknowledge your community planning approach, but I’ll still continue using my own methods to find the God’s Imitator.”

Li Renshu nodded, ”You’re not the only one making such attempts.”...

After chatting with Wang Yongxin, Li Renshu returned to the main hall to continue reading.

She didn’t know how long she had been reading when she started feeling drowsy, then suddenly heard Fu Chen’s surprised voice.

”You’re back!

”All four of you! All safe! That’s wonderful!”

Li Renshu hurriedly put down her book and looked toward the main hall, only then discovering that the four people who had entered the ’Blind Date Game’ had safely returned to the hall, with no signs of injury whatsoever.

”That’s wonderful.”

Li Renshu was also very happy. She was especially worried about Zheng Jie, after all, this young doctor had not participated in any life-and-death games yet, and also seemed somewhat too naive, not cunning enough.

If something went wrong and he died in a game right after arriving at the community, that would be troublesome.

She didn’t know whether the community would supplement new people again in the short term, or whether they could find such suitable candidates.

The big screen also began broadcasting the final results of this game.

[Now announcing Community 17’s final visa time acquisition in the ’Blind Date Game’.]

[Number 9 Xu Tong: 34110]

[Number 10 Zheng Jie: 52792]

[Number 11 Yang Yuting: 24304]

[Number 12 Lin Sizhi: 11122]

[According to community rules, when players obtain visa time greater than 20,000 minutes, 5% will be contributed to the community security fund. The remaining visa time will be credited to each player’s visa.]

Seeing the numbers on the big screen, Li Renshu was stunned for a moment, ”Your visa time, why does it have both zeros and non-zeros?

”And both male players’ last digits are 2?”

This was a rather strange phenomenon, because previously, whether in ’Blood Poker’ or ’King’s Judgment,’ everyone’s obtained visa time was in whole hundreds.

Even if situations arose in games where visa time needed to be spent, generally the remainder wouldn’t be calculated to the last digit.

Yang Yuting had still not quite recovered from the shock within the game.

She organized her thoughts a bit and explained, ”Because Lawyer Lin killed a God’s Imitator in the game.

”According to the rules, the God’s Imitator’s visa time should have been evenly distributed among the 31 surviving players, which is why there’s a remainder.”

Wang Yongxin, who had originally been drinking coffee by the floor-to-ceiling window nearby, almost spat out with a ”puff” sound, ”What did you say? You killed a God’s Imitator in the game?

”I was just making casual conversation before, did you really find one?”

Other people still in the hall also gathered around. Obviously, everyone wasn’t very interested in exactly how much visa time was earned, but everyone was curious about exactly how the God’s Imitator died.

Even Officer Cao, who was smoking outside, immediately ran over after learning about this matter.

...

On the second floor, Jiang He gently knocked on the door, ”Aunt Su, Lawyer Lin and the others killed a God’s Imitator in the game. We’re not sure yet if it’s the one who designed the ’King Judgement’ game.

”We’re preparing to discuss this. Would you like to listen in?”

After a moment, the door opened.

Su Xiucen shook her head, ”Thank you for coming to tell me specifically. I’ve been a bit tired these past two days, so I won’t go.

”The computer in the room will also notify about proposals or game invitations, so you don’t need to make a trip every time. Thank you.”

Jiang He nodded, ”Alright, then Aunt Su, rest well. Call me anytime if you need anything.”

...

Not long after, eleven people except Su Xiucen sat around the long table, beginning the review of this game.

Unlike the heavy atmosphere when the ’King Judgement’ ended, this time’s atmosphere seemed cheerful and enthusiastic.

Everyone couldn’t wait to know what the game process was actually like.

The big screen had already pulled up the game rules for the ’Blind Date Game.’

Wang Yongxin asked, ”Do you think it’s necessary to purchase the detailed process of this game? I can pay the visa time myself.”

Li Renshu shook her head, ”Now we have the community security fund. Even if we want to exchange, it should be everyone voting to decide to use the community security fund for the exchange. There’s no need to pay out of pocket.

”But I lean toward not exchanging first. Let the participants do a review first.

”For games with 40 players participating, the detailed process data volume must be very large. If we want to exchange everything, the price will very likely be astronomical.”

Wang Yongxin stood up and looked toward the big screen, ”Let’s ask about the price first.

”I want to check all player information and result reports for the ’Blind Date Game.’”

[Exchange price for individual player information and result report for ’Blind Date Game’: 72 hours of visa time.]

[Exchange price for all player information and result reports for ’Blind Date Game’: 2880 hours of visa time.]

Wang Yongxin sat back down, ”Never mind.”

Li Renshu lowered her head, having some difficulty suppressing the smile at the corners of her mouth but she quickly resumed her calm expression and looked at the four people who participated in the game, ”Who among you will do a simple review?”

Obviously, regarding purchasing in-game player information and result reports, different games had different prices.

The content of ’Redemption Roulette’ was very simple, and the steps weren’t complex either, so it only required 24 hours of visa time to purchase but ’Blind Date Game’ was much more complex, so the price tripled, becoming 72 hours.

Wanting to buy data for all 40 players became the astronomical figure of 2880 hours, which was enough to bankrupt even players like Wang Yongxin who had relatively more visa time.

Therefore, the optimal choice was still to have the participants narrate first.

If there really were unanswerable difficult problems and doubts, then use visa time to exchange for specific player information.

Xu Tong looked at Zheng Jie, ”I think, let Dr. Zheng speak? I feel his game process was the most dramatic.

”Midway I seemed to see you sending a help message to Lawyer Lin, but I don’t know if your problem was solved in the end.”

Zheng Jie was somewhat surprised, ”Huh? Shouldn’t Lawyer Lin be the one to speak?”

Li Renshu smiled, ”If Lawyer Lin speaks, it might cause us to incorrectly estimate the difficulty of this game. Besides, if you speak, we can better analyze your game strategy, find shortcomings from it, and give guidance.”

Zheng Jie thought about it, ”That seems right too. I do need more guidance. In this game, I really almost died in there.

”It was roughly like this. The first time I entered the meeting room, I encountered Lu Xinyi from Community 3...”

...

The entire game process of more than six hours, Zheng Jie narrated while recalling. By the time he finished speaking, his mouth was dry.

During this time, there were inevitably many parts with errors or omissions, but for those particularly important pieces of information, Lin Sizhi, Yang Yuting, and Xu Tong would make corrections or additions.

Every time he talked about being deceived or doing something stupid, everyone present would sigh, shake their heads, or want to impatiently give advice.

Fu Chen listened with some anxiety, while Wang Yongxin and Cai Zhiyuan frequently held their foreheads, finding it somewhat difficult to comment.

Game reviews within the community had never had such a lively scene before.

After all, those who previously led game reviews were basically smart people like Officer Cao, Wang Yongxin, or Cai Zhiyuan. Even if there were disagreements, there wouldn’t be particularly many clear opposing opinions but many of Zheng Jie’s pig-headed operations indeed made people’s blood pressure rise, and their desire to guide and criticize reached unprecedented heights.

However, this did quickly close the distance between Zheng Jie and everyone in the community.
