God's imitator

Chapter 369 Helpless
After considering for a moment, Li Renshu looked at the big screen and said, "We can ask about the price first."

"I want to check the profiles and game history of all the players in the lobby where Xu Tong is located."

The exchange price for all players' profiles and game progress in the lobby where Xu Tong is located in the "Selective Game" is: 2160 hours of visa time.

The total price for all player profiles and game progress in the "Selectable Game" category is 25920 hours of visa time.

Li Renshu did a simple calculation.

"In other words, if you only check a single player's game history, it's 72 hours; if you check a simple profile plus game history, it's 108 hours; and for 20 players, it's 2160 hours."

That is, approximately 13 minutes of visa processing time.

"If we don't look at the archives and only check the game process, it's 86400, which is an acceptable number."

She looked at everyone and said, "Actually, compared to the situation of the 'blind date game,' the rules we checked this time are relatively friendly."

"Should we investigate?"

Since no one knew exactly which players were in the game lobby where Xu Tong was, the only way to find out was to buy the game logs of all the players in that lobby.

This price may seem a bit expensive, but it's not unaffordable.

No one spoke.

After a moment's thought, Cai Zhiyuan spoke first: "I don't think it's necessary."

"Of course we can investigate, but what do you plan to do after we find out? Seek revenge?"
"Isn't this what a game in a gallery is all about?"
"Although our community has been working hard to cooperate and coexist with other communities, it is inevitable that we will harm the interests of other communities in many games."

"Because that's how the game rules of the arcade are. As long as it sets the rules of a zero-sum game, there is no option for players to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

"Take this game for example. There are quite a few players in our community who have obtained more than 10 minutes of visa time. Who can guarantee that the visa time they earned is absolutely clean?"
"The game has a 30% mortality rate, which means that a large number of players will be eliminated."

"Lowering the survival rate of others can increase the survival rate of yourself and other players in your community."

"After all, the players assigned to the same game lobby this time are all from other communities. All players will definitely consider the solution that maximizes their own interests, so there is no reason for them to hold back."

"So, what's done is done, and that's all that can be done."

"I may sound cold-blooded for saying this, but... there's nothing I can do about it."

Everyone fell silent again, and no one offered any new opinions.

There was neither approval nor disapproval.

Because this is indeed a topic that makes people have absolutely no desire to discuss it.

Everyone knows that there is no real 'murderer' to be found in Xu Tong's death.

Are they the other players in the room?

Was he a copycat who deliberately planted a trap in the game room?
Or was a minimum mortality rate set for the arcade?
In this game, most of the players who died were probably in a similar situation to Xu Tong. Perhaps they did not make any particularly fatal or low-level mistakes in the game, and most of the game rooms themselves were not very malicious, but they still died because of insufficient rewards.

It's like some kind of force majeure, such as a natural disaster, disease, or a simple accident.

Wang Yongxin didn't say anything more.

Clearly, while he suggested checking on the other players in the lobby, this was merely a statement and didn't necessarily indicate a strong motive to do so. Since most people in the community felt it was unnecessary, Wang Yongxin naturally didn't insist further.

After considering for a moment, Li Renshu said, "Let's change the subject."

"In this game, Cai Zhiyuan, Brother Wang, and Attorney Lin, the three of you also gained quite a lot of benefits. Would you like to share your game experience with everyone?"

Cai Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's not much to say."

"I received more profits simply because I was lucky enough to meet the 'auction tycoon'."

"Where are you two?"

Wang Yongxin nodded: "I encountered 'equipment forging'."

Lin Sizhi also said, "I encountered both of them."

Cai Zhiyuan was not surprised at all: "Yes, that's right."

Zheng Jie was a little confused: "What do you mean? Does that mean other games won't work?"

Wang Yongxin shook his head: "Other games won't work."

"Because only the game rules of these two game rooms support changing the underlying currency system of the game, and redistributing the revenue of the entire game lobby."

"Therefore, only by using these two games can one plunder some profits from other players."

"Otherwise, the highest return will fluctuate around 8, and it will be difficult to break through this limit."

Wang Yongxin briefly explained his approach, which was similar to Chen Guangming's method. Both had discovered a way to obtain stable income from the "Equipment Forging" room early on and had accumulated some chips for the room in advance.

However, the hall where Wang Yongxin was located was somewhat different from the hall where Lin Sizhi was located.

There was no "auction tycoon" in this hall. Wang Yongxin did not form a small group, nor did he try to unite with other players to monopolize the "equipment forging" game table.

At first, I was just playing by myself in the "Equipment Forging" room.

In the early stages, the exchange ratio between chips and visa time was basically maintained at a high level of 1:1, so Wang Yongxin only kept the chips for purchasing training cards and forging, and exchanged the rest for visa time at a high level.

In the mid-to-late game, more and more players discovered the secret of the "Equipment Forging" room, and the exchange ratio in this room gradually declined, dropping to around 100:70.

At this point, Wang Yongxin chose to put his chips up for auction on the "auction terminal" at a price of 1000 chips for 800 minutes of visa time, in order to earn the difference in profit.

For the average player, they can't get a stable profit from "equipment forging". They just want to use this room to change their invulnerability card, but it's not cost-effective to exchange chips directly from the exchange table at a 1:1 ratio.

Although the chips that Wang Yongxin put up for auction are more expensive than the actual dividend exchange rate, they are still completely acceptable to these players.

Of course, other players also tried to sell their chips, but since Wang Yongxin entered the room first, he had the most chips and was able to adjust the price in real time.

As more and more players entered the room, the number of game consoles became insufficient. Wang Yongxin then found another player to cooperate with, mainly to have this player reserve a game console for him when he left the room to use the 'auction terminal'.

In this way, although Wang Yongxin did not monopolize the entire room by forming a small group, he still made enough money from the price difference by taking advantage of information and time differences.
