God's Imitator

Zhou Guifen said matter-of-factly, ”Of course I still have to vote for Xiao Cai, right?

”Although Yuting’s performance was also quite good, the game core must enter games to lead the team. We definitely need to choose the best of the best.

”Xiao Cai left such a deep impression on me in ’Conglomerate Nation’ and ’Simple Q&A.’ He made me feel an unprecedented sense of security.

”I didn’t need to think about anything. Just follow his instructions and we could win.

”When we choose a game core, isn’t this exactly the kind of person we should choose?

”What Boss Wang said also makes some sense, but we can’t be emotional about such an important matter, right?

”What’s there to hesitate about? Don’t you think the same way?”

Dai Yifan was somewhat conflicted, ”Ugh, how should I put this...

”Boss Wang didn’t come to me, but as I thought about this matter myself, the more I thought, the more conflicted I became.

”Brother Cai also led me to victory in ’Simple Q&A.’ I also feel that voting for him definitely isn’t wrong.”But Sister Yang’s speech made me hesitate.

”Let me talk about my thoughts. They might not be right. If you disagree, Auntie Zhou, you can point it out.”

Zhou Guifen nodded, ”Okay.”

Dai Yifan organized his words a bit, ”Look, Auntie Zhou, our community currently has three game cores, right?

”Lawyer Lin is all-around type, very reliable. That goes without saying.

”Brother Wang is also very strong, especially extremely good at distribution-type games. We all recognize him as game core leading everyone to earn more visa time.

”But if we choose Brother Cai as the third core, isn’t this a bit repetitive?

”The two of them are basically the same type of player. They’re both good at economic and calculation-type distribution games, but these types of games account for at most a third, right?

”What about the most dangerous judgment-type games? Neither of them basically enters.

”Think about whether this is the case.”

Zhou Guifen was stunned. She carefully recalled, ”It seems that’s indeed the case.”

This ’Lifting Game’ made it very obvious. Cai Zhiyuan hesitated but didn’t enter.

And Wang Yongxin, when encountering relatively dangerous screening-type or judgment-type games before, basically almost never voluntarily signed up to participate.

Dai Yifan continued, ”So if we choose Brother Cai, won’t this situation occur:

”For dangerous screening-type and judgment-type games, neither he nor Brother Wang will enter.

”For distribution-type games that earn visa time, they’ll both compete to enter.

”Unless it’s like ’Conglomerate Nation,’ an all-player distribution-type game where they each lead a team, which is very suitable. But this situation isn’t common, right?

”And even if we really encounter it, can’t we just have Brother Cai temporarily lead?

”Of course, Brother Cai led me to victory, so it might not be good for me to say this. But I think, Auntie Zhou, we still need to stand in the position of ordinary community players and consider this issue from the perspective of our own interests.

”Besides ability, we also need to choose people who are truly willing to help us, right?”

Zhou Guifen nodded silently, ”Mm... If we’re talking about it this way, I feel that Officer Cao before really was the most suitable candidate.

”Sigh.”

She sighed quietly and said again, ”Actually, that child Fu Chen was also quite good. Having him in judgment-type games was also very reassuring.

”In this game, if he hadn’t actively helped Shen Xing share the punishment without knowing anything, Shen Xing would have been locked out for three rounds of games. That would have been really dangerous...”

Dai Yifan picked up the thread, ”Exactly, Auntie Zhou. Like Sister Yang said in her speech, judgment-type games often test not strategy and calculation, but goodwill, cooperation, and courage.

”No matter how clever someone is, if they don’t dare enter judgment-type games, and after entering only choose to protect themselves wisely, then their cleverness has no meaning and can even have negative effects.

”I came in to replace Officer Cao. Although I never met him, from previous game experiences and everyone’s descriptions, he really was the best candidate for the third game core.

”Although Brother Fu Chen’s abilities were somewhat lacking, his courage could make up for it.

”But the problem now is that we don’t have these two choices anymore. We can only choose between Brother Cai and Sister Yang.

”From the perspective of judgment-type games, although Sister Yang can’t compare to Officer Cao and Fu Chen, she’s still a better choice than the average option, right?”

Zhou Guifen thought seriously, ”Mm... That does make sense.

”Yuting really did keep trying to help me in this game, whether it was providing funds right away, passing information to me through funds, or hinting that I should cooperate with Fu Yujun to transfer ’opposition votes’ to each other. It all worked.

”The courage to actively sign up for judgment-type and elimination-type games is indeed very precious.

”But... seeking benefits and avoiding harm is human nature. Using this point to criticize Xiao Cai, isn’t that also a bit...”

Dai Yifan shook his head, ”Auntie Zhou, it’s not about criticizing Brother Cai.

”Actually, if we really have to say it, when Sister Yang entered this game, did she definitely have no selfish motives? Might she have taken the risk to enter because she wanted to compete for game core?

”But we can’t think about it that way. From the results, Sister Yang entered and Brother Cai didn’t.

”So next time we encounter a similar game, the probability of Sister Yang actively entering is still higher than Brother Cai’s, right?”

Zhou Guifen couldn’t think of a counterargument, ”Mm.”

Dai Yifan continued, ”Besides that, there’s another point I just thought of.

”Brother Wang and Brother Cai have another thing in common: they’ve both already been judged together in ’King’s Judgment.’

”So they have no reason to enter other people’s judgment-type games.

”Although everyone says we can’t rule out the possibility of a ’second judgment,’ so far this situation hasn’t appeared.

”Even if it exists, the probability is very, very low.

”Isn’t this just like the ’exclusive punishments’ in the ’Lifting Game’?”

He paused slightly and continued:

”In the ’Lifting Game,’ what kind of people would actively participate in sharing ’exclusive punishments’? Besides people like Brother Fu Chen, of course it’s players who haven’t experienced an ’exclusive punishment’ yet, because if they help others share, others might share for them later.

”Like Chen Ran encountered an exclusive punishment first. She had no reason to help others share afterward because it had nothing to do with her anymore.

”That she was moved by Brother Fu Chen and actively helped, that itself was a low-probability event that went against human nature.

”Isn’t a judgment game just a bigger ’exclusive punishment’?

”In our community, those who’ve already gone through judgment games, like Brother Wang and Brother Cai, entering other people’s judgment games has almost no benefits, only risks.

”But Sister Yang hasn’t entered her own judgment game yet. If she helps others as much as possible now, when her judgment game comes, others will also help her as much as possible.

”So Sister Yang’s enthusiasm in this area is much higher than Brother Cai’s.”

Zhou Guifen nodded in realization, ”Right, what you’re saying makes sense.

”But... isn’t this a bit unfair to Xiao Cai?

”He’s clearly more capable and has also led us to earn a lot of visa time. If he loses to Yuting like this, will he be able to accept it?

”If this dampens his enthusiasm and he chooses to protect himself wisely afterward, wouldn’t that be...”
