God's Imitator

The real identity of ’↑The Lovers’ was Han Mengying, and she had already confirmed that ’↓The Emperor’ was Wang Yongxin from Community 17.

Between communities, players were also collecting information and gathering intelligence through various means. In this game, communities that had prepared in advance would completely dominate in this aspect.

In previous matches, Han Mengying had already been matched with ’↓The Emperor’ once. At that time, ’↓The Emperor’ hadn’t yet given his own rules, and they had played using ’Number Bomb.’

But during the match process, through observation, Han Mengying still roughly determined the opponent’s strength.

Strategies could perhaps be imitated and copied, but the details of implementing strategies and the ability to adapt couldn’t be improved in a short time.

And in this game, as long as one could determine a player’s strength, then combined with the mask’s image and interactions with other players, one could roughly determine their real identity.

So Han Mengying extended an olive branch to ’↓The Emperor.’

’↓The Emperor’s’ attitude was relatively ambiguous. He neither clearly agreed nor clearly refused.

At that time, the remaining time in the match was limited. He only said that after entering the free battle phase, they should match for a game and discuss in detail.

So after entering the free matching phase, Han Mengying sent an invitation immediately, and ’↓The Emperor’ also accepted. This was a good sign.”You need to persuade me from two aspects.

”First is ’why does your community need me.’

”Second is ’why should I go to your community.’

”You only have the time of this one game.”

’↓The Emperor’s’ attitude couldn’t be called friendly, and could even be said to be somewhat arrogant, but Han Mengying didn’t mind. After all, in this place where the game decided life and death, the strong always had more privileges.

After considering, Han Mengying said, ”First, I must honestly say that I’ve increasingly clearly recognized recently that our community isn’t strong enough.

”Previously, I was somewhat inclined toward optimism regarding the community’s overall strength, but several match losses and personnel reductions that occurred in the community due to accidents have forced me to reflect.

”Perhaps my previous attitude was somewhat arrogant. For such results, I as the community’s leader should take responsibility.

”Of course, I still believe that the ecosystem our community has constructed is the best ecosystem. The strong control everything, while the weak are used to their fullest.

”But the biggest problem is that the strong in our community still aren’t strong enough.

”This is purely an issue of individual strength, unrelated to community construction, and also cannot be solved through any acquired training.

”For me, there’s only one choice, which is to give sufficient say to strive for strong outsiders to join.

”You need not doubt my and our community’s determination to eagerly seek talent. After all, given our community’s ecosystem, the strong occupy the best ecological niche, which also means the community’s desire for the strong is also the most intense.”

’↓The Emperor’ nodded slightly, looking relatively satisfied with this answer.

Community 4’s ecosystem wasn’t any secret. As early as ’Conglomerate Nation,’ Community 17 had already been clear about it.

And in other games, communities matched with Community 4 should also all have some understanding.

After all, Han Mengying had sufficient confidence in Community 4’s ecosystem and had always been using this as a condition to persuade strong players from other communities to join. This wasn’t any secret.

For the strong, in some communities they had to consider the feelings of the weak. Whether entering games or helping the weak, often they didn’t have much autonomy.

But Community 4 was different. As long as one entered the core group of 7, they could easily suppress the remaining 5, and even using these players as consumables and cannon fodder was fine.

For many players, this still had appeal.

Of course, the risk was that in such a community, one had to constantly ensure they were ’strong.’ Once performance wasn’t good enough, they might very likely be kicked out of the group of 7 and become the oppressed party.

But for those sufficiently strong players, of course they wouldn’t worry about this.

Han Mengying continued, ”Regarding your situation, I’ve also done corresponding investigation and have some understanding.

”I know that the community you’re currently in has very strong comprehensive strength and can be said to be the strongest among all communities up to now, so even if you haven’t obtained sufficient say in the community, there’s still reason to stay.

”After all, going to other communities will be full of unknowns. The risk cost and opportunity cost of this matter must also be fully considered.

”But what I want to say is that the environment is changing. Past decisions may no longer suit the current situation.

”You’ve surely also noticed that the Gallery’s pace has been continuously accelerating.

”The player elimination rate is gradually increasing, but the speed of bringing in new members is extending. Many communities have long remained in a reduced personnel state without replenishment.

”And in games, the Gallery is also clearly encouraging different communities to poach from each other and reorganize with each other.

”So, I believe the Gallery doesn’t want any particular community to survive peacefully all the time. It will continuously increase the difficulty of games and the intensity of collisions. The ultimate goal should be to continuously screen out stronger players.

”For the strong, competition and chaos are risks, but at the same time, they’re also ladders for advancement.

”The more we’re in this phase, the more important ’absolute say’ becomes.

”Because as intensity increases, victory or defeat in games may no longer depend purely on strategy, but also on control and dominance over players from the same community, as well as the organizational degree formed through the community’s high-pressure rules.

”On this point, our two concepts should be consistent.

”Only in this situation can you maximize your abilities and talents and display your strongest side.”

’↓The Emperor’ fell into silence. Han Mengying was certain that her words should still be able to have a certain effect.

She was very clear that in overall strength, Community 4 definitely couldn’t compare with Community 17.

Previous collisions in ’Conglomerate Nation’ and ’Fool’s Game’ had both demonstrated this point.

And that Wang Yongxin could become a game core in Community 17 was already sufficient to prove he was a stronger player than Han Mengying.

If keywords like ’safety’ and ’security’ were mentioned, then Community 17 was undoubtedly the community with the strongest competitiveness.

This was also the main reason Wang Yongxin was temporarily unwilling to leave Community 17.

So Han Mengying chose to persuade from other aspects.

That is, ’higher degree of freedom’ or ’greater, unrestricted power.’

Although Wang Yongxin had also obtained some power in Community 17, very obviously, this power was far from ’uncontrolled.’ It could even be said that the strong in Community 17 were the most restricted among all communities.

Then naturally in games, they couldn’t execute certain specific strategies, such as abandoning a minority in the community to ensure victory in the game.
