Chapter 308 Cai Zhiyuan's Problem
However, Kong Yuxin had already prepared herself mentally.

Compared to an 8-person room, a 13-person room has more stalls, so there are more free agents who need to reserve a stall.

Since Wang Weidong was able to think of these things in advance, it means that the 13-person room had also made the corresponding preparations.

Players from Community 17 who went to dismantle the black market shop also had no chance of success.

If neither side succeeds, the side with more people can squeeze more visa processing time from the question setter. In the end, when the game ends, the 15th community and the 13th community will still benefit more.

Kong Yuxin sighed silently. There was nothing she could do now but hope that Wang Weidong could squeeze more visa time out of the players in the 17th community in the '13-person room'.

……

……

Earlier, in a room for 13 people.

The 13th community player, who was the last to enter the 13-person room, had already informed all the players of the order using the agreed-upon code.

The third-to-last player in the 13-person room is Cai Zhiyuan.

Therefore, the first two players quickly solved the problem and switched the role of the question setter to Cai Zhiyuan.

Meanwhile, Wang Weidong, the owner of the 13-person room, had already set up the same rules.

[13-Player Room: All players must continuously send the majority suggestion they receive.]

Clearly, he had also thought of the same method, and planned to use this rule to force all players to submit the same option, and then lock Cai Zhiyuan in the position of "question setter" forever, continuously squeezing out visa time.

If Cai Zhiyuan can't come up with a good solution, then it's obvious that a 13-person room would be a faster way to earn visa time.

After the last player to enter the room provided information, Xu Zhao confirmed that Cai Zhiyuan had indeed entered the 13-person room.

But he still couldn't figure out where Cai Zhiyuan's confidence came from.

Because there are only a few types of questions that can be asked at present.

It's either a professional question, an information gap problem, or a logic problem.

But no matter what kind of question it is, as long as it can lead to a consensus among all participants, the question setter will definitely lose out.

The option to go against one's conscience is a variable, but the more people in the room, the less you need to worry about this.

Because by following the room rules, you can reliably receive the extra reward for "everyone being in agreement".

The more players in the room, the more rewards they receive, enough to offset the losses from the punishment of a few players who acted against their will.

It's fine as long as a large number of players aren't acting against their will.

It's very easy for the person who answers the question to earn more than 5500.

Meanwhile, since the number of players controlled by the 15th community clearly exceeds half, they are guaranteed to win the vote and can keep Cai Zhiyuan in the position of question setter indefinitely.

Although it's true that as long as the profit is between 5500 and -5500, it's assumed that there won't be a consecutive win for the dealer, the problem is that in a 13-person room, the profit fluctuations are too great, making it almost impossible to achieve.

As for Cai Zhiyuan, the question setter, getting a positive return of over 5500?

That's even more impossible.

Xu Zhao, considering things from Cai Zhiyuan's perspective, felt that this was a dead end, with absolutely no way to break it.

……

After waiting for a while, Cai Zhiyuan's problem arose.

[Some players, in dangerous death games, deliberately mislead fellow community members into engaging in high-risk behaviors in order to gain extra rewards, leading to their deaths. Have you ever had similar thoughts?]

A. Has done so

B. Never

【C. I had no intention of harming other community players】 Upon seeing the question, Xu Zhao was taken aback.

"What kind of question is this?"

His brows furrowed; clearly, the correct answer to the question was obvious: one must choose according to one's true inner thoughts.

If you intentionally choose the wrong option, A or B, it will directly trigger both the wrong penalty and the penalty for acting against your conscience, which will result in an extremely high number.

As for option C, it seems to be completely irrelevant to this question.

It will definitely be the wrong option, but whether it's an option against one's conscience is uncertain.

Xu Zhao fell into deep thought. He asked himself honestly and concluded that he should choose A.

He did have similar thoughts at one time.

After all, the new world is a very cruel place. In this game of life and death, it's either you or me. What does it matter if we're all from the same community? If only one person can survive, wouldn't everyone choose themselves?

Moreover, this question only asks "Have you had similar thoughts?", not "Have you actually done such a thing?"

Can't I even think about it?

Therefore, Xu Zhao intends to choose option A.

The judgment of insincerity in these games is absolutely accurate. Even if players can fool themselves, they can never fool the game hall. Therefore, Xu Zhao does not intend to deceive himself.

However, choosing option A is just his personal opinion; the final choice depends on the majority opinion.

After all, we still need to get the "unanimous" reward.

However, Xu Zhao glanced at the suggestions submitted by most players on the right side of the big screen, and it was clear that option B was the most common, with even some option C mixed in.

Xu Zhao was somewhat surprised: "Do so many people have a clear conscience?"

According to the room's rules, regular players will soon unanimously submit option B, while independent players can submit whatever they want, but that won't change the overall situation.

In other words, option B will eventually become the unanimous choice.

But Xu Zhao instinctively realized that something was wrong; Cai Zhiyuan's question seemed to be more complex than it appeared.

“Cai Zhiyuan seems very confident; he must have other plans.”

"Why did he ask me if I had ever done anything wrong before I entered the room?"
"Could it be that……

"His plan isn't inside the game, it's outside the game!"

Xu Zhao suddenly realized a blind spot that he had previously overlooked.

Once you return to the community, you can check the player's game history!
In other words, whether you choose A or B for this question, you can find out the answer afterward.

Furthermore, the game's reward and punishment mechanisms, through specific reward values, can determine whether an option truly represents the player's inner thoughts.

If the choice is made in good faith, the penalty for acting against one's conscience will not be triggered; conversely, if the penalty for acting against one's conscience is triggered, then it is a lie.

That means the dark thoughts of the players who answer the questions will be completely exposed to the public.

What will his situation be like in the community?

Xu Zhao put himself in Xu Zhao's shoes and thought about it from that perspective, and suddenly felt a cold sweat pour down his face.

The consequences would be far more severe than the visa time deducted as punishment for acting against one's conscience.

Because other players in the community would never consider someone who "intends to deliberately kill other players in the community" as a reliable ally.

Of course, it's hard to say exactly what other people in the community will do. The least likely consequence is being isolated in private, the more serious consequence is being kicked out of the community in the game, and the most serious consequence could even be being voted out and having their visa time changed.

Therefore, the optimal choice for Xu Zhao at this point is actually C.

　Requesting monthly votes, the story will end tomorrow at 3 PM.
