God's imitator

Chapter 225 Consumption Records
"Rabbit" Han Mengying sighed: "We have no choice but to accept this price."

"The 'Owl' put forward two conditions: first, he would not accept the 'Hummingbird's' contract ticket, and asked us to submit a list of three additional people so that he could choose whose contract ticket to use."

"Secondly, this person should be given at least 35 contract coupons."

"Only then was he willing to continue discussing the specifics of the 'contract voucher' with us."

"Sheep" thought about it carefully: "Each of the two small groups will have 35 coupons, for a total of 70 coupons."

"Internally, we have 30 vouchers left, each with at least 1 chips."

"Overall, we still made a profit. The 'Owl' figure was very smartly set, basically at the bottom line that we could accept."

However, both Han Mengying ("Rabbit") and Luo Wei ("Hummingbird") were clearly not satisfied with the plan.

"But compared to the previous plan, our gains are too small."

"Why do those fool players get so many chips even though they do nothing?"

"Sheep" sighed: "There's nothing we can do. Once fools have an organization, they're no longer fools."

"They have proven their execution capabilities, and it will be difficult for us to find a breakthrough. We can only reach a Nash equilibrium through mutual compromise."

After careful consideration, Han Mengying, nicknamed "Rabbit," said, "No, there's another way."

"In short, let's first select three people to make the contract tickets and let 'Owl' choose."

"Since they won't accept 'Hummingbird,' then it's just me, 'Sheep,' and 'Mole' left."

At this time, within the small group, there are 5 wise players, among whom "Rabbit" Han Mengying, "Hummingbird" Luo Wei, and "Mole" all belong to the 4th community.

Sheep and Dalmatians are considered outsiders.

Although "Spotted Dog" stayed, he was unwilling to produce a large number of contract tickets, and was only willing to exchange a small number of contract tickets to assist him.

Moreover, he didn't seem particularly intelligent, and he was an outsider, so Han Mengying didn't want him to get involved in deeper strategies.

The player chosen from among the three—"Owl" and "Deer"—is the one who creates and distributes the contract tickets and becomes the ultimate winner of the "Guess the Number" game.

Han Mengying, nicknamed "Rabbit," arranged for "Mole," a player from the same community (Community 4), to run an errand and deliver the list.

But the owl did not immediately give a reply.

They could only continue to wait.

……

Lin Sizhi, the "Owl," returned to her lounge.

After receiving the candidate list from the wise team, he decided to spend his chips to check the spending records of "Rabbit", "Sheep" and "Mole" respectively.

The service desk spit out a long slip of paper, which Lin Sizhi carefully examined.

The transaction history only shows usage records for the "chip exchange machine" and "service desk" functions; it does not show all chip changes.

Chips obtained through battles or by opening wooden boxes were not shown in this record.

These records all look normal, and there aren't many clues to be found.

Lin Sizhi then looked at the spending records of "Sheep" and "Mole".

After reviewing the spending records, Lin Sizhi considered for a moment, put the three long slips of paper into her pocket, and left the lounge.

Then, he first spoke with the 'sika deer', and then he found the 'rabbit'.

"Our first choice is 'Sheep,' and we need to get at least 35 'Sheep' coupons."

"The terms of the contract are: the player holding this contract must retain or consume the 'Fool's Card' in their hand according to 'Sheep's' request. At the same time, 'Sheep' must enter the final 5-person voting stage of 'Guess the Number' and cannot withdraw from the vote."

Upon hearing this condition, both the "rabbit" and the "sheep" fell into deep thought.

If a foolish player ignores the rules and mistakenly believes that as long as they vote for the corresponding "wise player" in the final round, they can easily get a share of the money through contract tickets, then they are making a big mistake.

The wise players could easily make one player the sole candidate by withdrawing from the election, rendering player voting completely useless.

But it's clear that "Owl" and "Deer" aren't so easily fooled; they'll definitely add a "no withdrawal" clause to the contract.

After consideration, the sheep raised an objection.

“I can understand your concerns that I might withdraw from the election, but the contract is written too harshly.”

"I can only subjectively guarantee that I will not withdraw from the election once I enter the final voting stage, but I cannot guarantee that I will not be eliminated before that."

"Because we don't control all the 'Fool's Cards' either, I can only control about 70 to 75 'Fool's Cards' with the contract tickets at most. 'Guessing the number' itself has uncertainty."

"If I'm eliminated because of a mistake in 'guessing the number,' wouldn't the way you wrote the contract be considered a breach of contract?"
"In that case, I simply cannot afford to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in visa time, and I will only suffer an immediate death penalty."

"I know the chances are slim, but I still can't accept it."

"At most, I can only accept a contract that says: 'Sheep' cannot withdraw from the election if it makes it to the final voting stage."

The owl has no intention of backing down on this issue: "If you write it this way, you can still force yourself to fill in the wrong number in the last round, causing yourself to be eliminated, thus achieving a disguised withdrawal from the competition."

"We have no way to monitor your input of numbers, and the numbers to be entered are different each round. We also cannot use contract tickets to force you to enter a specific number."

"So, how you manage to make it to the final round of voting is your own business."

"After giving you the contract ticket, you can directly control at least 70 'Fool' cards. If you still guess the number wrong under these circumstances, then I can only assume that you did it on purpose."

The sheep looked at the rabbit: "This is different from what we agreed on at the beginning. I am indeed willing to make 'contract tickets,' but that doesn't mean I'm willing to take such a big risk."

The owl gave the two of them a meaningful look: "This is an internal matter for you two, you can discuss it slowly."

"Of course, if you do not agree to this condition, you can also think of other more constructive solutions."

"But if you want me and 'Sika Deer' to agree to the new plan, you have to give us more benefits, but that's difficult, since there aren't that many contract coupons left to distribute."

"Or you can choose to quit 'Guess the Number' as soon as possible."

"In any case, you can decide for yourselves."

The owl turned and left, while the rabbit Han Mengying and the sheep began a new discussion.
