God's imitator

Chapter 192 Number of Times the Mechanism Was Used
The next second, Yang Yuting realized that she had returned to the community hall.

She could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, feeling all her strength drain away.

Xu Tong quickly helped her to sit down on the sofa next to her.

Zheng Jie had already changed to the medical kit and immediately began bandaging Yang Yuting's two wounds.

The final result of the game was also displayed on the big screen.

[The final visa processing times for Community 17 in the "birth trial" are now being announced.]

[Jiang He, No. 2: Deportation]

[Yang Yuting, No. 11: 40000]

According to community rules, 5% of a player's visa validity period exceeding 2 minutes will be contributed to the community support fund. Remaining visa validity will be counted towards each player's visa.

The five players who participated as spectators did not receive any rewards and therefore were not shown in the results list.

This time, no one asked "Where did Jiang He go?" because everyone could see the trial scene when the "Barbarian Invasion" was triggered clearly.

However, it is clear that Lee In-sook still needs to explain why she did not use the "immunity certificate".

After all, apart from Yang Yuting and the five audience members, none of the other players saw the preceding game process.

Even after watching the game, some people may still have questions and controversies about Lee In-sook's decision.

Li Renshu looked at Xu Tong and said, "Why don't you help Yang Yuting back to her room to rest? I will give a detailed explanation during the debriefing this afternoon."

"If, after my explanation, everyone still feels that the use of the immunity certificate is inappropriate, you can vote again to change the person in charge of the immunity certificate."

No one said anything more; they simply rested and waited for the post-mortem analysis.

……

In the afternoon, everyone sat around a long table, and the relevant rules for the "birth trial" were displayed on a large screen.

As a spectator, Lee In-sook was very clear about the cause and effect of the game and knew the rules for the spectator side from the beginning, so she was the one to review all aspects of the game.

With all the information now clear, the most important hidden mechanism in the game naturally comes to light.

The initial probability of creating a "Male Badge" and a "Female Badge" using the "Birth Control Device" is 99%.

[When the jury members return to the initial location, the probability of the 'Birth Instrument' creating 'Male Badges' and 'Female Badges' will be reduced based on the results of the 'Conformity Vote'.]

[When male offenders receive harsher sentences: the probability of creating mechanism 1 decreases.]

[When female offenders receive harsher sentences: the probability of creating Mechanism 2 decreases.]

For each '×' in the 'Conformity Voting' round, the probability of success decreases by '1.5%'.

Yang Yuting was shocked by this hidden mechanism.

So how many "×"s were there in the end?

Li Renshu thought for a moment: "The first time 10, the second time 6, the third time 10. A total of 26, which means that the probability of Agency 1 producing 'Male Badges' has decreased by about 39%."

Upon hearing this result, Yang Yuting fell completely silent.

She had initially wondered if her lack of two male badges was simply due to bad luck.

But now it seems that this is the normal probability.

With the success rate of manufacturing in Agency 1 having dropped to only 60%, they managed to manufacture 4 "Male Badges" in just 7 attempts, which was entirely in line with the probability.

Including the last two attempts, there are 9 chances to create 5 male badges. Although the probability is indeed slightly lower than expected, it is not a huge deviation.

No matter how you calculate it, these fertility funds are still not enough to create 10 fertility badges.

Zheng Jie sighed, "Another hidden mechanism..." Cai Zhiyuan nodded, "Yes, another hidden mechanism, but this one isn't buried very deep, and the metaphorical meaning is quite strong. Normally, people should be able to make the connection."

"The rules state from the beginning that there is a probability involved in creating the fertility device badge, and this probability is actually the 'fertility intention' of men and women."

"This game is called 'Birth Trial,' and the questions asked are all related to childbirth, but why is the main gameplay presented in the form of a 'trial of cases'?"

"Because these cases are all related to marriage, childbirth, and gender, the verdicts in these cases will directly affect the 'willingness to have children'."

"From the perspective of game mechanics, neither overly strict nor overly lenient judgment standards will pose a significant problem."

"Only trials where there is a significant difference in the degree of similarity between the sexes will severely reduce one party's willingness to have children."

"This is consistent with the reality:"

Even in feudal societies with severe punishments, where there might be instances of indiscriminate killing of innocent people, it would not have a significant impact on people's willingness to have children.

"Only when there is a problem with 'consistency' can there be a precipitous drop in one party's willingness to have children."

"From the perspective of the game's mechanics, if the situation is reversed, with a male player serving as the presiding judge and showing excessive favoritism towards male criminals, it will also lead to a significant decrease in the success rate of creating Mechanism 2, making it still difficult to complete the game."

Yang Yuting was somewhat annoyed: "Now that I think about it, it does make some sense, but without understanding the hidden mechanism, it's really not easy to figure out the connection."

Xu Tong said with some curiosity, "So, this game is quite different from 'King's Judgment'."

“In the ‘King’s Trial,’ the king can be completely unjust and favor his own people to get through the trial.”

“But in the ‘birth trial’, there is only one way to win: ‘ensure that the consistency is not reduced too much’.”

Cai Zhiyuan paused for a moment: "That's not necessarily true."

"There is also a way to complete this game without considering 'consistency,' but it takes a completely different approach from 'King's Judgment.'"

Yang Yuting was taken aback and looked at Lin Sizhi: "Huh? Really?"

Lin Sizhi nodded: "Yes."

Clearly, for players like Lin Sizhi, even if they haven't seen the specific rules, they've probably already realized them during the game.

Cai Zhiyuan pointed to an inconspicuous spot at the bottom of the game rules, where there were some supplementary clauses in small print.

“The reproductive organs in the first courtroom are limited to three uses each; the reproductive organs in the second courtroom are limited to two uses each; and the reproductive organs in the third courtroom are limited to one use each.”

Yang Yuting was stunned.

She always thought that she had only wasted one opportunity to use the mechanism during the game, which was that she used the mechanism 1 one less time in the first trial room.

But now it seems that it was actually used 8 fewer times.

Strictly speaking, this rule is also a linguistic trap.

[The birth control devices available only at the initial location have no limit on the number of uses.]

In other words, it is true that the reproductive instruments in each courtroom are limited in number of times, but the rules never stated that they are limited to only once.

The cunning part of this copycat was that he deliberately placed multiple traps in the courtroom, and the number of traps gradually decreased.

The first courtroom has two units each from Agency 1 and Agency 2, for a total of four units.

第二间审判室是1台机关1和2台机关2，一共3台。

The third courtroom has one unit each from Agency 1 and Agency 2, for a total of two units.

This arrangement of "multiple and gradually decreasing" leads players to subconsciously believe that each mechanism can only be used once.

But if they try the same mechanism a couple of times, they'll find that it can actually be used more than once.
