God's imitator

Chapter 362 "The Game of Choice" ends

Lin Sizhi and Xu Zhao went to the room with the "Chess Endgame" game, where they played chess endgames and chatted.

Clearly, both parties benefited from this collaboration.

What Lin Sizhi wanted was detailed information about the 15th Community.

Although Xu Zhao's status in the community is far inferior to that of Wang Weidong, he is still considered one of the core members. He must have mastered the most authentic political structure of the entire community as well as the hidden details unknown to the peripheral figures.

In addition, Lin Sizhi is also trying to use this opportunity to turn Xu Zhao into a nail planted in the 15th community.

If this collaboration is successful, there may be opportunities for further cooperation between the two parties in the future.

For Xu Zhao, the conditions offered by Lin Sizhi were exactly what he needed.

First of all, Lin Sizhi has a large number of chips and visa time in the "Auction Tycoon" room, so she is not worried about her own profits being at the bottom. That's why she is willing to help Xu Zhao increase the number of times he can play the "Chess Endgame".

The vast majority of players in this hall were unwilling.

Secondly, Xu Zhao also gained some benefits after betraying the intelligence of the 15th community.

Lin Sizhi will help him analyze this intelligence and give him a clear strategy for seizing power within the 15th community.

Xu Zhao wouldn't care about strategies offered by others, since the situation within the community changes rapidly, and ordinary players don't have a strong enough political mind, so their strategies are basically meaningless.

But strategies offered by intelligent people like Lin Sizhi are another matter entirely.

In fact, Xu Zhao did not completely trust Wang Weidong, but in the 15th community, he had no other choice.

Although Wang Weidong's position in the community was somewhat shaken after the "Simple Q&A", he is still the only leader that everyone can trust and cannot be replaced in the short term.

However, if he could find such an opportunity with the help of external forces, Xu Zhao would certainly not refuse.

It's simply that they were originally controlled by Wang Weidong, and now they are controlled by Lin Sizhi.

As for how long this cross-community collaboration between the two can last, no one can guarantee that.

After all, if they're unlucky, it's quite possible that the two of them will never see each other again in the later parts of the game.

But it was precisely because of this that Xu Zhao had no psychological burden.

After all, there was no other player from Community 15 in this lobby, so Xu Zhao's actions would not be known by other players in the same community, and there were no clear consequences for the time being.

……

As Cheng Wen watched Lin Sizhi and Xu Zhao in the chess endgame from afar, he felt increasingly impressed by the gap between the players.

For most players, simply collecting five cards and earning enough rewards in this game already requires their best efforts.

But Lin Sizhi still had the energy to do other things.

However, judging from the current situation in the hall, the matter has indeed been settled.

The final dividend distribution.

Lin Sizhi first exchanged the last share of the "Chess Endgame" with Xu Zhao, and then went to "Auction Tycoon" to exchange all the remaining chips in his hand for the share of the game.

On the other side, Chen Guangming also redeemed his dividends at the entrance of "Equipment Forging".

In this hall, almost all the players had collected enough cards to avoid death, and the very few remaining players should have collected at least four.

Clearly, this is related to the specific distribution of game rooms in the game lobby.

In this game lobby, there are two rather special games: "Equipment Forging" and "Auction Tycoon". The imitator who designed them not only gave generous rewards, but also provided additional means of changing cards, which greatly reduced the difficulty.

From this perspective, the players assigned to this lobby are lucky.

All the game consoles in all the game rooms were locked, making it impossible to continue playing games.

Then, the final prompt message appeared on the big screen.

Settlement will now proceed.

All players will suffer an instant death penalty.

The players were all a little nervous, and some even unconsciously gripped their invulnerability cards tightly in their hands, their knuckles turning slightly white.

With a "snap," all the invulnerability cards in the player's hand shattered.

No one died in the game lobby. Many players breathed a sigh of relief, but they also knew that this was not the end.

If the number of dead players is less than 30%, players who have earned less visa time in the game will be selected to make up the 30%, and an additional instant death penalty will be imposed.

The "immunity card" can only negate one instant death penalty, so at this point the player has no other options.

Of course, if you have a "immunity ticket," you can offset one additional death penalty.

But the vast majority of players don't have it.

"Plop", "plop".

Four players in the crowd fell down silently one after another.

Two of these players were originally part of the eight players who occupied the single-player mode in "Compare Size" and "Simple Poker".

At the beginning of the game, they mistakenly believed that they had a great lead, so even as they died, their eyes were wide open and their expressions were full of disbelief.

The nearby players silently stepped back, and no one spoke.

Since they were all players from other communities, the vast majority of players showed an indifferent attitude.

Of course, even players from the same community might not necessarily have any extreme reactions, since players have seen similar situations far too many times since entering the new world.

Although we don't know the specific situation in the other halls, since the mortality rate in this hall is only 20%, there must be halls with a mortality rate greater than 30%.

Players who confirmed their survival breathed a sigh of relief, feeling an immense weight lifted from their shoulders.

For them, although they also gained benefits from the visa time through the game, it no longer mattered.

Just stay alive.

But the information on the big screen continued to be displayed.

Those who copy the game room design and fail to achieve the revenue target will suffer an instant death penalty.

With a "thud," another player fell to the ground.

This time, some unrest occurred among the player community.

Clearly, some players are unaware that copycats also face the risk of death in this game, and they don't realize that copycats are actually right next to them.

So it's still quite shocking to see cases of copycats dying.

Xu Zhao's face turned deathly pale, and his heart pounded wildly.

He is still alive, but the danger is not over, because if the number of copycats who die does not reach 20%, the bottom copycats will be eliminated according to their earnings to make up the 20%.

He felt he was doomed if that were the case.

Fortunately, the next message on the big screen brought him a sense of relief.

[The number of copycat offenders has reached 20%, and no further instant death penalty will be imposed.]

Players can bring their winnings from this game back to the community.

Xu Zhao glanced at Chen Guangming, then at Lin Sizhi.

This game was indeed too dangerous for him. From acquiring the identity of a copycat to the strategies within the game, he teetered on the brink of death several times.

He almost became another cold corpse in the hall.

Chen Guangming was also watching Lin Sizhi. In this game, although the two of them actually controlled the situation in the entire game lobby, they did not have a direct confrontation.

There is also no possibility of killing the opponent or significantly reducing their gains.

After all, the game mechanics don't support doing that.

But both sides knew very well that they would meet again sooner or later in the game.

In the silence, the survivors returned to their respective communities.

【game over. 】
