God's imitator

Chapter 143 The Tycoon Family's Theft Plan
Qin Yao felt a little sorry for the people in Community 12: "So Community 12 should be watching the people in Community 4 pressing the button!"

Cai Zhiyuan shook his head: "At that time, Fan Zehui subconsciously regarded us as the main enemy. He was worried that we would deliberately retaliate and try to turn the tables if we were only assigned to one group of buttons, so he kept oscillating between their third group and our fourth group of buttons."

“看到所有按钮前都站了一个人，就下意识地以为第4社区也是按照2000+2000+1000+1000的方式分配收益的。”

Qin Yao frowned slightly and raised a new question: "Even if we didn't notice these little tricks, as long as we realized through that text trap that 'ordinary players may gain 3000 wealth points per round of the game,' we could directly give Zhou Rong another job opportunity and avoid such problems."

Tsai Chih-yuan didn't find it strange:
Fan Zehui wanted to get all four of them qualified to invest as soon as possible so they could invest in each other and reach the maximum investment return limit quickly.

"In other words, you only need to secure the management position with the minimum wealth value, and distribute the rest of the wealth to other players as much as possible."

"This strategy isn't entirely wrong; it is indeed the way to maximize profits while ensuring that management control is not lost."

"But they mistakenly believed that a 1-minute visa period would allow Zhou Rong to become a stable senior manager, which was a fatal oversight."

"There are too many rules in this game, and the time to think is very short. If you don't realize the word trap and come up with a strategy in time, you will definitely be overshadowed by other rules and overlook it."

"The reason why the 12th community can become a tycoon is because the visa period is the shortest, and naturally the weakest, which is consistent with their intellectual level."

Lin Sizhi, who had been silent until now, explained: "The premise for this plan to work is, of course, based on the stupidity of the 12th community, but in practice it is not easy to implement."

“The 4th Community did a lot of preparation work, and its actions were very discreet.”

Luo Wei was somewhat surprised: "Besides these little tricks, are there any other preparations?"

Lin Sizhi nodded and continued, "The hardest part of implementing this strategy is not recognizing the word traps or designing these deceptive tricks, but seizing the 'window of opportunity'."

"This strategy actually only has a very short window of opportunity, which is the first 3 minutes, or at most the first 5 minutes, of the preparation phase before the game starts."

"Han Mengying must calculate her own wealth value of 11000 after two rounds of the game as soon as she sees the text trap. Then, based on the current age structure, she must deduce that Zhou Rong will rise to the top after two rounds of the game. Finally, she must determine the goal of the scam: to make Zhou Rong only have 10000 wealth value as much as possible."

"After that, she had to contact the 12th community as quickly as possible, interfering with their study of the rules while instilling in Fan Zehui the wrong idea of ​​'starting the investment cycle as soon as possible'."

"This idea not only misled Fan Zehui into averaging his wealth, but more importantly, it completely consumed his thinking time."

"When Fan Zehui started thinking about how to allocate wealth to get everyone's visa time to 1 as quickly as possible, and specifically in which round to maximize investment returns, the amount of calculation reached his limit. So his brain was completely occupied, and that's when those little tricks could be carried out."

“If Han Mengying takes more than 5 minutes to formulate this strategy on her own, and Fan Zehui is allowed to think about the rules on his own, the window of opportunity will be missed, and it will likely fail if the wrong ideas are instilled afterward.”

"So, this is actually Han Mengying and Fan Zehui racing against each other for time to think."

"As we said before, once this game starts, it won't stop. The 10-minute rounds are very tight, and players like Fan Zehui, who aren't very smart to begin with, will make one mistake after another."

"While Fan Zehui was preoccupied with 'how to allocate wealth to maximize investment returns,' he also had to consider other rules, research strategies, and allocate his own buttons. Given that he was already more wary of us, he didn't have the extra energy to notice the 4th Community's little tricks."

Qin Yao suddenly realized: "Oh! No wonder Han Mengying went to the 12th Community a little later than you, Attorney Lin. So she had already come up with a strategy back then?"

Cai Zhiyuan nodded slightly: "So, this plan is indeed not as simple as it seems."

"Its benefits are so great that the imitators who designed this game also restricted this strategy, giving it only a very short window of opportunity, which tests the players' quick wit."

"After hearing the rules of the game, the success rate of this strategy will decrease rapidly every minute. The strategy must be deployed in the shortest possible time, or you will miss the opportunity forever."

Luo Wei frowned, a new question forming in her mind.

"So... Attorney Lin, you've seen all of this very clearly from the beginning?"
"Then why not stop it? Or, could we try using this method to seize the chaebol's status?"
"We did nothing and let the smarter 4th Community become a tycoon. Isn't our situation even more difficult as ordinary citizens?"

Clearly, Community 4, having seized control of the conglomerate through this loophole, will not repeat the same mistake. This method of seizing conglomerate status can only be used once in the entire game, and even if Community 17 knew about it, it couldn't use it again.

Lin Sizhi looked at Qin Yao: "Yes, why don't we use it?"

Qin Yao pointed to herself: "You're asking me?"

"Ah... let me think... is it because... we simply can't implement this strategy?"

"The prerequisite for this operation is to have two sets of buttons, but the 12th Community doesn't trust us at all and it's impossible for them to give us two sets of buttons."

Cai Zhiyuan nodded: "Yes, we never had the possibility of becoming a conglomerate from the very beginning, so there was no need to make a fuss."

"As for whether it's the 4th community becoming a chaebol or the 12th community becoming a chaebol, it's hard to say."

"I had already discussed this with Attorney Lin before."

"Attorney Lin prefers to make the bad guys the main enemy, since their behavior patterns are relatively easy to predict."

Luo Wei still frowned; she didn't quite agree with this explanation.

She knew, of course, that implementing this strategy required occupying two sets of buttons, but she believed that she should do her best to secure both sets.

Such an opportunity is too precious; if successful, it could establish a huge advantage and even make the rest of the game a foregone conclusion.

Even if the conditions aren't right, shouldn't we at least give it a try? The outcome can't be any worse, can it?

Or simply expose the conspiracy of the 4th community; in any case, a smarter community should not be allowed to become a tycoon.

Luo Wei realized that she had significant differences with the two male players in terms of their gaming philosophy.

But she didn't say much, after all, she was just a newcomer and her voice in the team was probably less than Qin Yao's.

……

The third round of the game has begun, and Fan Zehui looks dejected.

Zhou Rong, Zhou Guifen, and He Ming were also very depressed.

They had a perfect start; if this round of investment went smoothly, they could secure their position as conglomerates forever, and the game would no longer be subject to much change.

But a seemingly insignificant oversight caused them to fall from heaven to earth.

Such a huge gap is hard for ordinary people to accept.

Of course, the good news is that the investment from the first round has already yielded returns.

Fan Zehui redeemed the investment vouchers and received investment returns.

In Community 17, just as Cai Zhiyuan was about to press the "Work" button, Han Mengying, along with another player from Community 4, directly used their identity cards on both buttons, stealing the job and income opportunities.

"Sorry, we've requisitioned this job opportunity."

Han Mengying had a smile on her face, but showed no sign of apology.
