God's imitator

Chapter 126 The Imitation Game's Kindness
An employee's salary does, to some extent, reflect their ability, so the more employees there are and the higher their salaries, the more data they will report.

It seems reasonable that higher-paid employees are more capable and therefore report more data.

However, high-paid employees are not necessarily truly capable; they may also be parasites within the company.

For example, some companies have thrived after laying off all their senior executives.

Many low-paid employees are not necessarily incapable; they simply lack the opportunity to showcase their abilities because they are not in a specific position.

In the game, the data pop-up is a blatant misleading element.

According to the rules of the game, if there is one employee in a company with a monthly salary of 7000 and seven employees with a monthly salary of 1000, the latter will actually increase the probability of data pop-ups much more than the former.

The amounts are the same, but the number of people is significantly larger.

However, the data pop-up only appears on the employee with a monthly salary of 7000.

This actually means that in reality, junior managers will steal credit from lower-level employees.

The fourth rule actually represents the employee training mechanism in reality.

If you give those low-salary employees enough time (3 rounds) and space (there are no high-salary employees taking up positions in the company), they can play a similar role to the high-salary employees.

Of course, these rules are hidden from the players and are not easy to guess.

However, if we let a worker choose based on instinct, he would most likely also lay off high-paid employees and hire a large number of low-paid employees out of his dislike for those junior managers, thus finding the optimal solution in this process through instinct.

On the contrary, even professional human resources managers like Xu Tong, despite having vague guesses, ultimately failed to figure it out because they mixed in too much professional theory and were fighting with themselves.

If her proposed solution is to lay off high-salary employees and hire low-salary employees, then this solution will immediately gain Su Xiucen's approval, and the trial of the two of them can be completed in one go.

Cai Zhiyuan continued, "Of course, this also means that there is indeed a loophole in the game, or what we would call a 'perfect solution'."

"Xu Tong, you once asked: Is it possible to lay off all the employees and then hire them back in some later round?"
"From God's perspective now, it's entirely possible. Call it a loophole or a backdoor, but it's definitely possible to play like this, and it can greatly reduce the difficulty of the game."

"but.

"The only question is, after you lay off employees, are you really willing to bring them back?"

"Clearly, from the perspective of the copycat who designed this game, if you are really willing to bring them back, then it wouldn't hurt to let you take advantage of this loophole."

This question stumped Xu Tong.

Indeed, this is an obvious loophole in the rules, or a backdoor, but it's not something anyone can use.

At least Xu Tong and Tian Fan can't use it.

By laying off all the employees, at least 30,000 to 40,000 minutes of visa processing time can be saved each round, which is a huge temptation.

Since the decision has been made to lay off all employees, it must mean that the company's cash flow is very tight and that they are prepared to discard all data.

In this situation, there are absolutely no visible benefits to bringing the employees back.

The only reason is out of conscience and a sense of social responsibility.

If a player lays off all their employees as soon as they enter the game, and then chooses the right time to rehire them, or even fill the vacancy, they can maximize their profits.

However, it is clear that very few players would make this choice without knowing the rules.

Everyone fell into silence.

Clearly, after carefully analyzing the rules of the game, they came to a somewhat disheartening conclusion.

Jiang He concluded, "So... 'The Game of Wealth,' as a judgment game, isn't strict at all; it's even a bit too lenient. The game provides plenty of hints and backdoors, but players still inevitably stumble into some traps..."

"No wonder the arcade didn't rate it highly, only a B-grade..."

To avoid upsetting Lee In-sook, she didn't continue.

But everyone present understood what was coming next.

Li Renshu and Xu Tong spent a lot of time trying to outsmart the rules, but it might be better to just have someone else play by intuition.

Of course, Community 17 finally found the correct solution, while Tian Fan from Community 8 performed even worse in this game.

As a business elite, he believed he had made the best decisions at every step, but ultimately his solution proved to be wrong.

Yang Yuting was puzzled: "Why? Why is this trial game being so lenient?"

"Isn't that strange? What exactly is the purpose of the copycat who designed this game?"

Cao Haichuan pondered for a moment, then asked in return, "Who says that the game of judgment must be unforgiving?"

"The copycats who designed 'Money Game' may be showing us another possibility: copycats can find ways to help players avoid overly harsh and unreasonable judgments."

"They will only be tried in accordance with their crimes."

"Of course, this behavior may not be encouraged in the arcade, but it is permissible within the rules."

"In retrospect, the 'Money Game' and the 'King's Trial' are like two sides of the same coin, completely opposite."

"As trial games, they both have many ways to complete the game."

"But the 'King's Trial' completely shut down all avenues of survival, taking into account Uncle Ding's personality traits."

"The 'Money Game' is the opposite, where the two judges help each other to fight for as many chances of survival as possible."

"However... some players will inevitably disappoint the designers' good intentions."

Jiang He was somewhat puzzled: "But why didn't this copycat try to make the implication more explicit?"

Cao Haichuan looked at her with some helplessness: "Although we are not yet clear about the specific mechanism of the game selection and copycat selection in the arcade, judging from the fact that 'the game has a rating,' not every copycat's plan can be approved by the arcade."

"When the gallery selects criminals, it seems that it does not care whether the crimes they have committed are truly deserving of death."

"Wang Yongxin, Cai Zhiyuan, Uncle Ding, Aunt Su, whose crimes reached the point where they should be executed under the law? But the parade hall clearly encourages copycats to kill them."

"I guess games that are too simple and forgiving won't be approved by the arcade."

"Only games that the arcade deems to have a certain mortality rate will be given priority for selection."

"For copycats, if they make the game simpler, it might be rejected by the arcade, leading to the selection of other, more brutal games."

"Even if I really wanted to save people, this is probably the most I could do."

"As for whether you can seize the opportunity once you're in the game... that depends on the player."

Lee In-sook was usually a person who didn't show her emotions, but at this moment, her expression clearly showed her disappointment.

She sighed silently and stood up: "Let's end today's debriefing here. I need some time to think things through."
