God's imitator

Chapter 224 Second Round Results

Han Mengying, nicknamed "Rabbit," frowned. She hadn't expected "Owl" to have such a large appetite.

She and "Sheep" originally planned to use 50 "Hummingbird" Rowe's contract tickets to bribe all the fool players, so that the wise ones could take half of the final prize pool.

The "sika deer" and "owl" groups are a bit more difficult to deal with; giving each of them 20 tickets should be about right.

As a result, "Owl" actually asked for 35 tickets, which was completely beyond the originally planned price range.

But Han Mengying wouldn't compromise so easily; she would certainly try other methods.

"Well, Mr. Owl certainly has a big appetite, but I wonder if others can resist the temptation like you?"

Han Mengying looked at the other Fool players gathered around the 'Owl'.

"Anyone who comes to me with their 'Fool's Card' will immediately receive two contract vouchers worth a total of over 2, as well as an additional 10000 chips."

"You can come to me privately and secretly. First come, first served. No exceptions."

She glanced at the seemingly interested 'Grey Wolf' and took out some chips, holding them in her hand: "How about it?"

But the 'Grey Wolf' glanced at her and then silently stepped aside.

Seeing no response, "Rabbit" Han Mengying had no choice but to say, "Anyone interested can come to me privately anytime. What I say is valid indefinitely."

She turned to leave.

The owl said, "If no one comes looking for you, I hope you'll bring something decent next time you come."

"First of all, we disagree with making 'Hummingbird' the final winner; she is definitely the one among you wise players with the least remaining visa time."

"You must provide at least three options for wise players who can become the final winner, and let us choose for ourselves."

"Once the selection is made, we will discuss the specific details of the 'Contract Vouchers'. Moreover, our bottom line is 35 vouchers, not a single one less."

"Also, next time send someone else to negotiate. I don't like people who try to be clever."

The time for the second round of guessing numbers is almost here.

After watching the "rabbit" walk away, Lin Sizhi said to the others, "Use all the 'Fool' cards' in your hands. This time, we'll guess '15'."

No one would have any doubt about this answer.

Zheng Jie, nicknamed "Woodpecker," had another question: "I can also make 'Contract Tickets,' so why don't we do it ourselves?"

Lin Sizhi, the "Owl," shook her head: "This is an alternative, but not the best option."

"The group that creates the contract is not necessarily the one that benefits the most."

"Moreover, having the 'Rabbit' make the contract tickets will solidify our cooperation with the 'Sika Deer'; if we make the contract tickets ourselves, the 'Sika Deer,' as the wavering party, will actually gain more initiative, which is not worthwhile."

"Of course, there are other reasons as well."

"But I need some more time to verify it."

Zheng Jie, the "Woodpecker," and Qin Yao, the "Peacock," nodded to each other. Although they didn't quite understand what they were hearing, it seemed like the conversation was going smoothly.

Lin Sizhi, the "Owl," added, "We might need your cooperation in a little while to bring someone into the community."

Qin Yao, nicknamed "Peacock," asked with some surprise, "Huh? Have you already found a suitable candidate? Even though everyone is wearing masks, can you tell if they're reliable?"

Lin Sizhi, the "Owl," nodded: "I think it would be a good choice, but we still need to confirm some details."

"Of course, it also depends on whether the other party is willing."

...An announcement was made in the hall.

The correct answer for the second round of the "Guess the Number" game is: 13.

Of the 50% of players whose answers deviated significantly from the standard answer, the 5 players with the lowest chip stacks were eliminated.

You can check the list of eliminated players using the voting machine next to the lounge.

[Players are requested to submit their chips to repay their debts in a timely manner, otherwise double the visa time will be forcibly deducted at the end of the game.]

Players eliminated in the next round of the "Guess the Number" game will have their debt increased to 40000 points.

Players are crying out in despair as their ever-increasing debts make the elimination process in "Guess the Number" increasingly brutal.

Meanwhile, more players chose to pay off their debts in the previous round and withdraw from the "Guess the Number" activity.

On the wise player's side, "Sheep" and "Rabbit" Han Mengying and others had roughly guessed the number, but their expressions remained solemn.

This number isn't hard to guess, because in this round, both the "Deer" and the "Owl" will inevitably choose to use their "Fool's Cards".

Subtracting about 60 from the result of the first round of guessing numbers will give you roughly the correct answer.

The results of these two rounds, in fact, demonstrate the cohesion and execution of small groups, telling all players:
Within the small team, any number of the 30 Fools cards can be destroyed, and all the Fool players will carry out their decision.

Starting from the next round of the game, this number will be much harder to predict.

"Rabbit" Han Mengying looked at "Sheep": "How's the situation on your end? What deck is 'Deer'? How much is it priced?"

"Sheep": "The Fool's Deck, 35 cards."

"Rabbit" Han Mengying said somewhat solemnly, "'Deer' also got the Fool's deck, which is good news. But why do they both need 35 tickets? Could these two have already coordinated?"

"Sheep" considered for a moment: "That possibility cannot be ruled out. But it's also possible that they are both smart people, and this result is deduced from the distribution of benefits from the 100 coupons."

"But no matter what, the 35 coupons are the result of their precise calculations, and they are unlikely to budge on the offer."

"If we want to bribe these people, we have to come up with this many coupons. Otherwise, we won't be able to get to the final vote in the 'guess the number' game, and we'll have to pay off our debts as soon as possible and give up."

"At that time, they should seek cooperation with the remaining independent sages."

"We also cannot rule out the possibility that 'they have already prepared their own wise men'."

"We can't stop them. Although there are only ten wise players, it is much more difficult to unite them all than to unite a dozen fool players. It is almost impossible."

Han Mengying, nicknamed "Rabbit," could only sigh silently; that was indeed the case.

"Rabbit" Han Mengying and "Sheep" have tried to break up the "Owl" and "Deer" group by using the prisoner's dilemma.

So far, however, not a single Fool player belonging to either of these groups has come forward to contact them.

This means that both groups are extremely cohesive, practically an unbreakable bond.

Lin Sizhi, the "Owl," was selected specifically based on her oxygen consumption, and sufficient trust was established during the subsequent game.

The reason why "Sika Deer" is popular is because there are enough players in the same community.

Of course, Han Mengying, the "rabbit," could hardly understand the intricacies of the situation. She only knew that, judging from the outcome, using the prisoner's dilemma to poach people was completely unworkable.

If the current price is maintained, at best it will only attract some individual players who have already run out of options.

If the two small groups remain stationary, the fate of at least 60 Fool's cards is uncertain, making it impossible to guarantee that one will survive until the final round of "guessing the number".
