God's imitator

Chapter 142 Loopholes in the Rules
"what?"

Fan Zehui also realized that something was wrong, so he quickly went to Zhou Rong's side to check her identity card.

[Community 12 - Zhou Rong]

[Identity: Tycoon]

Age: 60 (Senior)

[Wealth: 10000 Minutes for Visa Processing]

The label of "management" is indeed gone.

A bad feeling arose in Fan Zehui's heart.

He quickly looked at the other players, only to find that Han Mengying just smiled and waved at him before walking towards the management room.

Fan Zehui quickly looked at Zhou Guifen: "Aunt Zhou, hurry up and cast your vote against it!"

Zhou Guifen's initial identity was "youth", but now she has become "adult". Her identity card has the mark of "management", so she can also vote.

Zhou Guifen hurriedly walked towards the management office.

Fan Zehui then began searching for another "middle-aged" player.

Cai Zhiyuan has gone from being a "youth" to a "middle-aged man" and has gained an extra 4000 in work income in the previous two rounds of the game, so his identity card also has the mark of "management".

However, Cai Zhiyuan shook his head: "It's no use. The 4th Community has already obtained 3 votes, and the proposal will definitely be passed."

Fan Zehui felt a sudden dizziness.

Sure enough, before he could figure out what was going on, a new broadcast appeared on the big screen.

[A player has proposed replacing the chaebol community. All management players are requested to immediately go to the management office to vote.]

The motion has received two "yes" votes, exceeding the majority, and will take effect immediately.

The 4th community replaces the 12th community, becoming the new "chaebol family".

To maintain the original population structure, starting from the next round of the game, the age attributes of some players will change as follows:

In Community 4, players who have not yet entered management positions and are considered "adult" players are automatically relegated to "child" players.

[In Community 12, one 'Young' player has automatically become a 'Mature' player, but will be unable to enter management positions until the next population structure change.]

It's said that the management players will vote, but it's clear that as long as the votes exceed half, whether the other management players vote or not will not affect the result.

While changing their identities as chaebols, the game will also adjust the specific age structure in the next round.

简单来说就是在确保12人原本年龄结构不变的前提下，让『财阀家族』的年龄结构变为1老年、1壮年、1青年和1幼年。

"why why……"

Fan Zehui was clearly still trying to figure out what was going on. The sudden shock left his mind blank and he lost his ability to think for a short period of time.

"It must be because Han Mengying's wealth surpasses Zhou Rong's, so she took over the 'management' position when only one 'senior' player could enter the management team..."

"But I clearly gave all the inheritance to Zhou Rong!"
"If all four of them pressed the button, Han Mengying could only get a maximum of 2000 points in one round. How could she possibly surpass Zhou Rong?"

……

Qin Yao was also surprised by the result.

"The fourth community actually stole the chaebol's identity! And this is only the third round of the game!"

"From the results, Han Mengying's wealth surpasses Zhou Rong's, but why is that?"

"Does this mean that Fan Zehui didn't leave the inheritance to Zhou Rong, but to someone else?"

"That's impossible. How could he not think of a problem that I can think of?"
"Fan Zehui probably deliberately left Zhou Rong an inheritance of 5000, just to ensure that Zhou Rong's wealth exceeded that of other players of the same age, especially Han Mengying. "Zhou Rong initially had 5000, and Fan Zehui's remaining inheritance after the investment was also 5000, making a total of 10000."

"In cases where the wealth values ​​are the same, chaebols are given priority, so Han Mengying must obtain 11000 to be eligible."

"Han Mengying started with 5000. The two sets of buttons in the fourth community are shared among four people. She got 4000 in two rounds of the game, which adds up to only 9000. That doesn't seem like enough, does it?"

Lin Sizhi and Cai Zhiyuan remained silent, neither commenting nor agreeing.

Luo Wei frowned and pondered: "The problem must lie in that wording trap in the work rules."

"But when did Community 4 use this word trap? I didn't notice either."

Qin Yao quickly began to recall the rules: "What kind of word trap?"

Luo Wei explained: "The rules state: [A player cannot occupy the same group of buttons, nor can they occupy multiple 'Work' buttons or multiple 'Benefit' buttons at the same time.]"

"But there is one exception: the same player can have one 'Work' button and one 'Benefit' button in different groups."

"At the time, I thought, why does this rule look so cumbersome?"

"It would be perfectly easy to write 'Players can only occupy one button at most,' which would plug all the loopholes very simply."

"This is a loophole left in the rules. Han Mengying used this method to get 3000 minutes of visa time in each round of the game."

"Then we can overtake Zhou Rong after two rounds of games."

Qin Yao was taken aback: "Huh? But if that's the case, there won't be enough players to occupy the button (8 players), won't that trigger a reduction in wealth?"

Luo Wei looked at the rules again: "No, the wealth reduction rule will only take effect after 10 rounds of the game."

"I guess the copycat who designed this game probably considered the first 10 rounds as the 'wealth growth period,' encouraging players to make more money; while the last 10 rounds were the 'confrontation period,' which is when they added the rule that 'if you don't cooperate, your wealth will shrink.'"

"So in the first 10 rounds, it is possible to exploit this loophole."

"Actually, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the rule at first, but the fourth community seemed to be doing normally when they pressed the button. It was clear that four people pressed the button, so I didn't notice when they exploited this loophole in the text..."

Cai Zhiyuan explained, "Han Mengying took advantage of the machine's characteristic of 'not having any conspicuous prompts'."

"She first gathered the players from Community 4 together, pretending to conduct internal allocation and strategy explanation, but actually secretly swiped her identity card on the 'Benefits' button in the first group, and then went to the 'Work' button in the second group to swipe her identity card again and wait."

"The button is poorly designed and doesn't show who swiped their ID card."

"Once everyone had dispersed and settled down, another player from the 4th community stood in front of the 'Benefits' button in the first group and also made a clear action of swiping his identity card."

"But ordinary players can't steal job opportunities by repeatedly using identity cards, so the actual occupant is still Han Mengying."

"Because of the special mechanism of the button, the player who presses the 'Work' button has to press the corresponding 'Benefit' button a second time. So after Han Mengying pressed the 'Work' button, she also went to the corresponding benefit button with the others."

"This behavior doesn't seem to have any problems."

"After that, the players waiting in front of the first group of 'Benefits' buttons and others pressed the buttons at the same time, and the players in the first group of 'Work' buttons also pressed the buttons."

"Since they are both wrong players, pressing the button will not have any effect."

"But this action was done at the same time as others, and then they pretended to look at their ID cards to confirm, and the action was very natural, so it didn't seem strange that some buttons weren't pressed."

"The earnings button has no special lighting effects or notification sound."

"The only thing that can be confirmed is the two small green lights on the device, but only the person using the button can see them."

Fan Zehui saw that eight people pressed the button in sequence, and everyone's actions were uniform, so he did not realize the problem and went to attend to investment matters.

"At this moment, Han Mengying pretended to be chatting with the four of them, and with the cover of others, pressed the first group's reward button in the correct order."
