God's imitator

Chapter 328 The Identity of the Successor

This game is essentially played in a game lobby where players can choose their own game units. This could lead to situations where some copycat games become very popular while others go unnoticed.

Furthermore, large and complex games take up more space, so the arcade will definitely have corresponding restrictions.

Based on these two points, it is likely that simple and classic games are more likely to maintain a low standard and are also more likely to pass censorship.

If players can grasp this information, they can then specifically brush up on their knowledge of gambling tools or card games.

Even though these basic rules might be modified by copycats in the game, they can at least save some time in understanding the rules, so they are useful in any case.

Wei Yinzhang concluded, "That's all I can reveal. I'm sorry."

Lee In-sook nodded: "Yes, this information is already very valuable."

"Everyone, hurry up and go to the book section to find similar books and brush up on your knowledge."

Soon, the people in the hall dispersed and began to look for relevant books to brush up on their knowledge of gambling equipment and card games.

Lee In-sook then asked, "So... Yin-jang, are you planning to decline this game invitation?"

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "Yes, I wanted to refuse."

"As a copycat, there is only a 20% chance of death, and there is still plenty of time afterward. I think as long as you thoroughly understand the rules and the game units you design are not too bad, you are safe."

"But if I enter the game as a player, I may not be able to find my own game, and I don't know which players I will be matched with. A 30% death rate is still too dangerous."

"Breaking the deadlock on the spot is definitely not my forte."

Lee In-sook nodded: "Yes, that's good. Since we've already bought the identity token, we should use it as much as possible to maximize its effectiveness."

"But this time we probably won't need the 'submit suggestion' function, since everyone will be participating in the game and no one will stay in the community."

"The cooldown period for the immunity ticket hasn't expired yet, so you can't buy it again."

"This time, all we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate."

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "Okay, I'm going back to my room first. Although I can use my identity card to refuse other players' game invitations, I can't refuse the copycat's design invitation."

"I need to think carefully about how to design my work in the next few days so that I don't end up in the bottom 20% of copycats."

Although there are still a few days before the game starts, and the imitators have only just learned the basic rules and haven't even finished designing their game units, the atmosphere in the community has already become tense.

……

……

night.

Community 15.

Xu Zhao returned to his room, sat down at his desk with some fatigue, and let out a long sigh.

The situation in Community 15 has been very bad for the past two days since the "Simple Questions and Answers" game ended.

It could even be described as chaotic and disorderly.

On the morning the game ended, Xu Zhao and Wang Weidong returned to the community and saw the game results displayed on the big screen, which naturally caused an uproar in the community.

This is the first time Community 15 has lost so badly in a distribution-type game.

Wang Weidong's leadership skills have always been recognized by the entire community, and he has performed very well in previous games, which makes this defeat even more difficult to accept.

Before officially starting the debriefing, Wang Weidong contacted Xu Zhao and other players involved in the game, as well as the original die-hard supporters in the community, and did a lot of work behind the scenes.

On the one hand, he promised players like Xu Zhao that he would help them earn more visa time after entering the game. On the other hand, he informed his staunch supporters in the community in advance so that they would give him some support in the subsequent review and community discussion sessions.

Of course, since everyone is in debt, Wang Weidong also needs to persuade other players in the community to donate enough visa time to the fund and then redistribute it to these players to pay off their debts.

Such severe losses affected the interests of all players in the community. Although arrangements had been made in advance, the afternoon's debriefing session still brought the atmosphere of the entire community to a freezing point.

Although Wang Weidong managed to suppress the opposition within the community, his position within the community was shaken.

In the next two or three games, he must find a way to lead his team to earn back enough visa time to make up for it.

Otherwise, let alone another serious loss or player death, Wang Weidong's position in the community would become precarious if the profits were not high enough.

But there was nothing Xu Zhao could do at this moment. Sitting down at the computer in his study, Xu Zhao, as usual, prepared to review the rules of the games before going to sleep.

For every player in the new world, it's never enough to read the rules of these games a thousand times.

But today's situation is somewhat different.

Because a completely new pop-up window appeared on Xu Zhao's computer, one he had never seen before.

Hello, Xu Zhao.

Congratulations on acquiring a hidden identity in the new world: 'The Imitator of God'.

Think like a god, judge like a god, and commit grave sins against humanity like a god.

You'd better be careful to conceal your identity, because 'godslaying' is humanity's eternal pursuit.

A simple pop-up window made Xu Zhao's eyes widen, and he was stunned for a moment.

"A copycat?"

"Does this mean I've been granted the status of a copycat?"
"Why? This is too sudden..."

"Could it be because a copycat died unexpectedly in a previous game?"

Xu Zhao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the most likely explanation.

By now, almost all players know that copycat is an advantageous role in the arcade, with significant benefits and negligible drawbacks.

However, players cannot actively acquire the identity of a copycat.

Some players speculate that if a copycat dies, the arcade might re-select copycats from among the players.

Clearly, this is the situation Xu Zhao is facing now.

Although the previous "simple Q&A" was a distribution game, if you return to the community with debt and fail to accumulate enough visa time to repay the debt within 48 hours, you may still suffer an instant death penalty.

48 hours have passed now.

Of course, there are definitely more than one game running in the arcade at the same time. It is also possible that a death occurred in another game, or that some players died naturally because their visa time expired.

Or perhaps the arcade simply wanted to increase the number of copycats.

But in any case, Xu Zhao has now obtained the qualification of a copycat, which is undoubtedly good news.

He would read the rules of these games every night, study some of the high-rated games repeatedly, and even often think about what it would be like if he designed the games himself.

Although I haven't actually written down any rules, I have a lot of ideas in my head.

After closing the pop-up window, a new pop-up window immediately appeared on the computer screen.

Hello, Xu Zhao.

As the game progresses, players and copycats will be continuously eliminated.

Five days later, the arcade will launch a new "selection game," which will select all players and copycats from communities 1 to 20.

However, the game format this time is different from previous ones.

You must design a standalone game unit within the 'Basic Rules' framework. Players can freely choose which game unit to play after entering the game.

[After the game ends, a fixed percentage of players and copycats will be eliminated based on the results.]

[Players will be eliminated at a fixed rate of 30%.]

Copycat offenders will be eliminated at a fixed rate of 20%.

The game's 'basic rules' have been finalized; please review them carefully.

You have 5 days to complete your game segment. If you fail to submit your solution within the time limit, you will be eliminated instantly.

【Please make your choice. 】
