Chapter 461 Password
At this point, He Xiaojun had confirmed that "↑Moon" was player number 7 of community 14, Huang Ming.

In retrospect, his choice of the "↑moon" mask was actually intended to create a connection with his own name, which was one of the reasons why He Xiaojun became suspicious.

However, the more important reason is that He Xiaojun took a risk and tried it out from the perspective of the probability of matching players.

Eight games have passed so far, and He Xiaojun has not encountered any players from the 14th community yet.

However, judging from the matchmaking mechanism, this game does not seem to have a "same community avoidance" principle.

Therefore, He Xiaojun judged that, statistically speaking, he should be encountering players from the 14th community soon.

Moreover, due to the game's progression, he also has to make some risky attempts.

Otherwise, if you encounter a player from the 14th community but fail to verify their identity, you might miss the subsequent free matchmaking phase or have to play an extra game to verify, which would be even more of a loss.

Therefore, He Xiaojun's guess of 14 might not be immediately associated with the community number for players from other communities, but players from the same community (number 14) would be more sensitive to it.

Afterwards, the two exchanged the secret code they had established within the community.

“It’s very simple. No matter what the situation, I will always say it’s very simple.” This is the agreed-upon answer within the 14th community.

Because the question "How difficult do you think this game is?" is not too abrupt to ask in any game. If other community players are asked this question, they will hardly realize that it is actually a code, so they will not be able to use this to set up a trap for the players of the 14th community.

After exchanging the secret code, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I found someone I knew in the same community.

There is no absolutely dominant core in the 14th community. Huang Ming is considered a decent player, but he is only slightly better than average.

He Xiaojun checked the time: "We need to hurry up and discuss our next strategy."

"To avoid the penalty of instant death for all players, at least one player must go to one of the main communities."

"In other words, we need to concentrate the wealth vouchers on one person as much as possible in order to ensure the safety of others."

"But the problem now is, who will go?"

This question caused both of them to fall silent. Clearly, although the 14th community was not strong, most people who had lived together in this community for so long did not really want to leave.

Although some players may complain that other players in the community are too bad, such people would have left long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

Although Community 14 is not currently at full capacity, with only 9 players, most people probably still want to stay.

Going to the main community sounds good, as you can meet stronger companions, but there are too many unknowns and variables, which can make people subconsciously back down.

This is especially true for players who are at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, if you want to enter the main community, it's best to reach an agreement with a player in that main community who has influence. Otherwise, if you try to force your way in using your wealth points, you'll likely kick out some of the original players from the main community.

In that case, I'm afraid I'd be at odds with all the players in the main community as soon as I entered.

Huang Ming seemed to have made up his mind: "If it really doesn't work out, I'll go."

"Time is limited, and it's a bit too late to find other people."

“Previously, the reversed Towers card matched with me, which provided me with a solution.”

"Simply put, our community concentrates all its wealth points on one player, and then enters their community..." Huang Ming briefly introduced his experience.

He Xiaojun realized that "↓ Tower" and "↑ Lovers" were likely from the same community because they implemented almost identical strategies.

The two players belonged to different factions and had obviously been matched in the game before. After discussing their strategy, they went their separate ways to persuade the players in the peripheral communities.

He Xiaojun shook his head: "No, this strategy will absolutely not work. Because once the other party changes their mind, we will have no way to restrain them."

"Moreover, since the other party is trying to create a prisoner's dilemma in marginalized communities, I think it is highly unlikely that they are genuinely cooperating."

"There is a very, very high chance that they will change their minds in the end."

He Xiaojun quickly recounted to Huang Ming how he rejected his "lover" and his thoughts on the matter.

Huang Ming was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Then what should we do?"

He Xiaojun said, "Within our community, we will try our best to concentrate the wealth vouchers on one player."

"However, we cannot rashly transfer these wealth vouchers to the main community."

"It's not just the main community that can filter us; we can also filter the main community in turn."

"We need at least one player to enter the main community to avoid the penalty of instant death for everyone; but shouldn't the main community also avoid being at the bottom?"
"We can also take the initiative to contact other major communities and try to cooperate with them."

"If there is a more benevolent community, we can transfer some wealth vouchers as appropriate, and entering such a community would be more acceptable."

"If there really isn't a benevolent community, we might as well just hoard all the wealth vouchers."

"Among the four main communities, there will always be one main community with the lowest wealth value that will suffer an instant death penalty. At that time, those who have accumulated wealth vouchers can simply go to the departure area of ​​that main community."

"In this game, at least 6 players will leave through this area and head to the main community."

"These six players will form a new group within this community, which will create some room for strategic maneuvering."

"It's much better than blindly following players' commands like '↑ Lovers' and '↓ Tower'."

Huang Ming was stunned for a moment. Clearly, He Xiaojun's behavior at this moment was very different from his usual state in the community.

In the 14th community, He Xiaojun has never been a particularly prominent player. He is not very enthusiastic about participating in many issues. Although he has occasionally shown commendable performance in previous games and has generally ensured his safety, this performance has not been particularly stable.

It's hard to truly consider them strong.

However, He Xiaojun displayed a very positive attitude at this time. His analysis of the situation and the countermeasures he proposed afterwards gave people a sense of reliability.

Huang Ming lowered his head and considered for a moment: "Hmm, what you said makes sense."

"So, in the next game, I will continue to try my best to find other people, and then in the subsequent free matchmaking phase, I will ask them to give you all the wealth vouchers."

"However... I have one last question."

"We can trust you unconditionally, right?"
