God's imitator

Chapter 405 Covering
Meanwhile, players outside were also watching the situation on the big screen.

Seeing Jiao Hai's behavior, Jiao Hongtao couldn't help but show an expression of extreme disappointment.

Among the six players in the inner field, apart from Chen Ran, who was punished alone from the beginning, the other four players showed good mutual trust and cooperation.

Jiao Hai, however, not only enjoyed the benefits and safely passed through the most dangerous period of his sentence with the help of others, but also brazenly refused to keep his promise.

This made Jiao Hongtao lose face.

However, considering the current complete breakdown of cooperation among the external players, there's no need to worry too much about this.

It was Peng Hong's turn to be the "sharer" in this round.

"I'm actually a rough man with little education, and I don't know if this counts as hoping my son will become a dragon."

"I don't think so. I just want my son to have a better life."

"My first half of life was too hard. Although I've made some money now, I don't want my son to go through the same thing as me."

"So I sent him abroad to study, to give him a prestigious education, and to let him see more of the world."

Some people say my son isn't cut out for studying, and that spending so much money is useless; they say my nouveau riche money will eventually be squandered by my son.

“But I didn’t really think that much about it. I just wanted my son to have a different life than mine.”

He paused slightly and looked at Fu Yujun: "I know that not every penny of my money is clean, but my son is a good boy."

"So, please help my son, okay?"

The sharer completed the sharing according to the game rules and received a reward:

"Sometimes, the car suddenly becomes unresponsive, stalls, the brakes fail, and it doesn't accelerate when you press the gas pedal."

Liu Mingxin was taken aback; clearly, Peng Hong had also changed his strategy.

The performance of the players inside the arena is starting to affect those outside.

Judging from the current situation, Peng Hong's situation is actually not good.

Because his funding wasn't particularly advantageous, Peng Xinyuan, despite getting a better car pen, didn't gain a significant advantage in progress compared to other players in the inner circle.

In the previous round of the game, Peng Hong was blocked and was actually isolated and helpless.

Currently, among the players outside the main venue, the four players other than Fu Yujun and Zhou Guifen must constantly give up funds to avoid being blocked.

Peng Hong does not have any advantage in this regard.

But he found another breakthrough.

Among the players inside the venue, Peng Xinyuan was the first to actively cooperate with Fu Chen, and has been working with Fu Chen ever since.

Peng Hong knew very well that at this moment, Fu Yujun and Zhou Guifen had completely seized the initiative because they could completely trust each other. They could block any one of the remaining four players by actively collecting dissenting votes.

Therefore, when acting as a "sharer," it doesn't matter how many people oppose the shared viewpoint or how many dissenting votes it receives, as long as Fu Yujun makes an exception for it, it won't be blocked, and it can still pass on funds to Peng Xinyuan normally.

If they don't block Peng Hong, who else can they block?

The only option is to choose one of Wu Xiaomei, Liu Mingxin, and Jiao Hongtao.

Soon, everyone finished voting.

Wu Xiaomei: 49 votes

Peng Hong: 32 votes

Jiao Hongtao: 39 votes

Zhou Guifen: 0 votes

Liu Mingxin: 19 votes

Fu Yujun: 101 votes

[If the current voting pattern remains unchanged before the next round of the game begins, Fu Yujun and Wu Xiaomei will be blocked.]

Clearly, the voting at this point is meaningless, because Zhou Guifen will definitely transfer all of Fu Yujun's dissenting votes to ensure that he can pass the funds to Fu Chen in this round.

Then, choose one of the remaining three players to block and extract as much funding as possible from them.

Jiao Hongtao and Peng Hong looked at Fu Yujun with some nervousness. It was clear that if Zhou Guifen continued to take away some of the dissenting votes from Wu Xiaomei, they would still have to use funds to avoid being blocked.

However, Wu Xiaomei said, "It doesn't matter anymore. Ranran has already passed the third map, and she is safe."

"So, if you want to continue blocking me, then go ahead."

She leaned against the control panel with a sigh of relief, as if she had temporarily unloaded a heavy burden.

With the two blocked players confirmed, there would be no more trades with opposing votes. The players silently awaited the start of the fifth round of the game.

More messages came over the radio.

[Viewer #1 bets on Chen Ran's 5000 minutes of visa processing time.]

[Viewer number 7 bets on Peng Xinyuan's 5000 minutes of visa processing time.]

[Viewer number 4 bets on Chen Ran's 1 minutes of visa processing time.]

[Viewer number 9 bets on Fu Chen for 3000 minutes of visa processing time.]

……

According to the game rules, the audience must place all their bets before the end of the fourth round.

Therefore, those viewers who still have betting limits have no choice but to bet everything at this point.

Some bets were placed on the player who seemed to have the best chance of survival, while others were placed on the player who might be able to turn the tide in the last two rounds.

There are still many viewers betting on Chen Ran, after all, she has completed the third map and her exclusive punishment, which confirms her survival in the game.

However, betting on Chen Ran at this point would yield little benefit; such a bet was merely an attempt to avoid the most severe punishment and prevent the deduction of all visa time.

Soon, as the fifth round of the game officially began, the betting announcements stopped.

……

In the fifth round of the game, Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Guifen were blocked and unable to pass funds.

However, the two situations are different because in the final round of the game, Fu Yujun will transfer all of Zhou Guifen's dissenting votes, allowing her to break free of the blockade.

Zhou Guifen could still transfer all the funds she had saved to Shen Xing to ensure that she could complete the third map.

Wu Xiaomei's opposition votes will only increase, because no one will help her transfer them.

But Wu Xiaomei didn't care. She chose to invest all her funds in the "modification workshop" to modify the equipment.

According to the game rules, both spectators and players outside the venue can directly use funds to upgrade the equipment. After the upgrade, the funds required to use the equipment will continue to decrease.

The more renovations are done, the more money is saved.

After each player secured funding and modified their vehicles, the six players inside the venue once again took on the challenge of the "track in the painting".

Chen Ran didn't receive any more funding, but she still quietly tried to challenge the fourth map, even though the chances of success were slim.

Peng Xinyuan and Fu Chen lifted the blockade in this round of the game, received a large amount of funding, and after modifying the car, they successfully passed the third map.

Although Fu Chen had a more difficult time than Peng Xinyuan, he still passed on his last chance.

The two gave each other a high five in excitement.

Shen Xing failed to secure funding in this round. She tried again, but failed to pass the third map.

Liu Jie was somewhat anxious. Although she wasn't under lockdown, the funding she received was consistently insufficient. Moreover, she had previously used a modification shop to upgrade her car calipers several times, but after discovering that the cracks in the calipers were becoming increasingly severe, she sent a message to the outside world, abandoned the modification shop route, and turned to repair shops and gas stations instead.

This made her modifications to the car pen less successful, and she ultimately failed to pass the third map.

Jiao Hai encountered a similar situation. He was only one step away from passing the third map, but he had the least patience of all the players inside, so he always failed at the last minute.

To make matters worse, he suddenly realized that the crack in his pen was quite serious.

"We can't use modification shops anymore, and repair shops aren't very reliable either."

"The gas station should be fine; I haven't used gas stations much."

"Who exactly is sending me the funding? I need to find a way to tell him."

Jiao Hai thought for a moment, then quickly stood up and went to the equipment at the "modification factory," preparing to do what Liu Jie had done before and pass on the message to the player who had given him the funds.

However, at that moment, Peng Xinyuan stood in front of him.

Peng Xinyuan was already half a head taller than Jiao Hai and much wider, so he blocked the view completely.

Jiao Hai was about to make an "X" or something similar when he saw this situation and suddenly froze.

"what are you doing?"

Peng Xinyuan looked at him and said, "I have nothing to do, so I came over for a stroll. Is that not allowed?"

"Which rule says I can't go anywhere?"
