God's imitator

Chapter 458 Courage
The "lover" didn't say anything more, but He Xiaojun could tell that the other person was obviously angry.

Clearly, '↑Lover' originally thought that persuading a player like '↓Justice' would be a sure thing, but now the situation is out of control, making him feel uncontrollably angry.

"Okay, I respect your choice."

"I choose to play this game according to your rules, guessing the 'special number'."

He Xiaojun was taken aback, because after the previous exchange, there was very little game time left.

However, judging from '↑Lover's' confident demeanor, he clearly already has a definite number in mind.

"The first number is 4."

"5 to 22, inclusive."

"The second number is 6."

"7 to 22, inclusive."

"The third number, 7."

"8 to 22, inclusive."

"The fourth number, 15."

"8 to 14, inclusive."

The previous numbers were displayed very quickly, but when it came to this, '↑Lover' paused slightly and took a brief moment to think.

We've already entered the "4th, 5th, 6th" minefield. If we don't guess the next two numbers correctly, then if we enter the "7th, 8th" minefield, then "↑Lover" will have a very high chance of winning.

"The fifth number, 11."

"you guessed right."

He Xiaojun reached out and opened box number 11, which happened to contain "Justice".

The "lover" was stunned, looking somewhat incredulous.

Clearly, in his mind, 11 should be a safe number.

Because most players choose the "cut-off" strategy when guessing for the first time, and numbers 11 and 12 are popular numbers.

Players like '↓Justice' would likely lack the courage to set the special number to 11 without special guidance from other players.

While it's generally true that as the game progresses, more and more players will stop choosing 11, according to '↑Lover's' prediction, even if most players realize this, it will still take some time before they have the courage to choose 11 as a special number. At least within two or three games, it's still safe.

Unexpectedly, he misjudged "justice".

Such a misjudgment is fatal.

He Xiaojun stood up: "Thank you. You have convinced me that even the weak can only choose to take their own destiny into their own hands, and cannot place their hopes on others."

"A game of life and death depends on strategy, luck, and belief."

In this game, the 'Thief' stole wealth from 0 wooden boxes, totaling 0 Wealth Vouchers.

[The Sage has 10999100 Wealth Coupons remaining.]

[Please leave the game room and wait for the next round to begin.]

……

Back in the lounge, He Xiaojun finally felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He slumped onto the sofa, taking deep breaths to calm his racing heart.

He didn't actually know what the high-win-rate strategies these clever players had developed were, nor was he sure what kind of players he would encounter in this game.

The reason for setting the special number 11 is based on a very simple consideration:
From his own perspective, since most players tend to use a cut-off strategy at the beginning, 11 is the most dangerous number. But strong players are certainly aware of this as well, so if you want to win against a strong player in this game, you must set the number to 11.

The principle is simple, but putting it into practice is another matter entirely.

Because weaker players often lack a strong mentality, even if they know this, they will still worry about things like, "What if I encounter an average player?"

The thought that encountering an ordinary player could result in losing 1100 million wealth vouchers directly would cause weaker players to question their own strategies and adopt a more conservative approach, replacing the numbers with something else.

What we lack most is actually the courage to burn our bridges.

Before entering the game, He Xiaojun ultimately decided that even if he had to give up 1100 million wealth vouchers, he would still show this courage to everyone, especially to himself.

That's why he ultimately received such a reward.

He Xiaojun's situation in this game is still not optimistic, after all, he only won one game, but he has successfully built up his confidence.

The next game began, and He Xiaojun once again served as an "audience member".

This is good news for him.

Players like him find it difficult to adapt to consecutive high-intensity matches in a short period of time. After the last match, he was under tremendous mental pressure, and this break as a spectator was a good opportunity to relax.

Upon entering the audience room again, He Xiaojun randomly found a seat and sat down.

He saw the '↓Hermit' who had performed exceptionally well before, and the '↓Hermit' held up a sign that said 'Great!' to him.

He Xiaojun felt that this scene was a bit absurd, but he still found "thank you" among his many emojis as a response.

After waiting a while longer, no one else came to talk to He Xiaojun.

This left He Xiaojun somewhat disappointed. He had originally hoped that there were other players from the 14th community on the "Reversed" side who could recognize him based on his performance in the previous game and then come to him.

But on second thought, this idea is somewhat unrealistic.

The awkward thing for weaker players is that even if they occasionally have a moment of glory, it is difficult for players in the same community to confirm their identity.

Moreover, the conversation with "↑Lover" further confirmed He Xiaojun's judgment of the game situation.

The game was fast-paced. He Xiaojun felt like he had gone up and down several times, but in reality, he had only played up to the 7th game.

He Xiaojun's current identities are: "Sage, Thief, Spectator, Thief, Spectator, Sage, Spectator".

The game is supposed to last 8 hours, and we've only just entered the 3rd hour, so the first impression is that there's still plenty of time.

The problem is that to confirm players in the same community, this must be done as early as possible.

Because once you enter the last 3 hours, you will enter the free matchmaking phase. Although there is still a forced matchmaking option, the number of players you can match with will be greatly reduced.

Players in the main community should have already completed identity verification, so in the subsequent free matchmaking phase, they can freely match, transfer wealth vouchers, and adjust the difference in wealth voucher values ​​between each other.

Everything will be on the fast track.

Players in the main community who are willing to find opponents through matchmaking must be very strong players, meaning they will try their best to maximize the community's total revenue by "smurfing".

If peripheral communities are still looking for players from the same community at that time, they will only lose more and more, falling further and further behind in terms of wealth.

However, He Xiaojun couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so he could only make more risky attempts in the few games he had.

Just then, He Xiaojun suddenly noticed that a new rule had appeared on a certain screen, and he quickly stood up to initiate a vote.

The vote passed quickly.

The audience all turned to look at the screen, which displayed a match between the '↓Emperor' and the '↑Demon'.
