God's imitator

Chapter 464 Free Matching
After considering it carefully for a moment, Shen Xing felt that the condition was acceptable.

As the game progresses to this stage, since players within the community have gradually recognized each other and formulated strategies from the community's perspective, players from different communities will certainly begin to discuss cooperation.

The only difference is the price offered by each community.

Shen Xing has not yet encountered other players seeking cross-community cooperation, so he is unsure of the specific cooperation plans of other communities. However, judging from the content alone, the plan of '↓Wheel of Fate' is relatively fair.

For Shen Xing and the players of Community 5, the primary prerequisite for discussing cooperation is to ensure the interests of their community, and wealth vouchers are a direct manifestation of those interests.

Therefore, if the other party mentions the requirement to transfer wealth coupons, it is basically considered a scam and will not be cooperated with.

Furthermore, the capabilities of the partners must also be considered, since there are four main communities and four peripheral communities, and players in the peripheral communities are not without options.

The condition proposed by "The Wheel of Fortune" is simply to share information, which is an acceptable solution.

Of course, no one would be foolish enough to share all their sensitive information; everyone would hold back some.

But at least in terms of the rules, both sides are equal.

Whether you can get a lot or a little information from the other party depends on your own abilities.

Shen Xing nodded: "Okay, I personally agree with this plan, but I can't make any guarantees for the other people in the community. I may need to discuss it with them later."

"However, we can at least exchange community IDs first."

"↓Wheel of Fortune" nodded, then pointed to wooden box number 15, "Demon".

This means the other person is a player from Community 15—if he wasn't lying.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing pointed to the wooden box number 5.

— Reporting a fake community account doesn't seem to bring much benefit at the moment, and it would have the opposite effect if it were exposed. So Shen Xing still chose to be honest in the spirit of cooperation.

↓Wheel of Fortune nodded: "After entering the free matchmaking phase, I will invite you at an appropriate time. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

……

Five long hours have passed, and the first phase of the game has ended.

He Xiaojun bought some simple food and water in his rest room and quickly ate and drank to replenish his energy.

Although the game time so far hasn't been very long, the constant thinking and emotional fluctuations have consumed a lot of energy, making me feel noticeably hungry and dizzy.

However, He Xiaojun only dared to eat a simple snack to prevent insufficient energy supply to the brain caused by digesting food.

As the second phase begins, the screens next to the three doors also undergo some changes.

On the display screen next to the "Gate of the Sage" and the "Gate of the Thief", players can see 22 tarot cards from each of the upright and reversed positions, while their own cards are grayed out.

You can actively click on a tarot card to send a game invitation to the corresponding player.

Sending an invitation from the "Sage's Gate" will default to starting the game as a Sage, while sending an invitation from the "Thief's Gate" will default to starting the game as a Thief.

Similarly, other players can also send invitations to He Xiaojun, but invitations sent by the 'Sage' will only appear on the display screen next to the 'Thief's Gate', and vice versa.

Similarly, you can select "Matchup" on the screen.

However, matchmaking doesn't guarantee you'll find suitable players. If you don't have a match, you can choose to spectate in the 'Spectator Room' or stay in your own lounge.

By this stage of the game, most players should have realized that every match is crucial and that they absolutely cannot afford to "not play the game".

Since the number of game rounds is the same, you won't receive any wealth vouchers if you don't participate in the game.

He Xiaojun had confirmed that '↑Moon' was Huang Ming from the same community, so as agreed beforehand, he immediately sent a game invitation to Huang Ming as a 'thief', and Huang Ming quickly accepted.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the two will try to match as often as possible.

As long as Huang Ming brings a full set of wealth vouchers each time and deliberately loses them all to He Xiaojun, he can ensure that He Xiaojun receives a sufficiently high return in the subsequent game.

However, this will also bring two problems:
First, such a matchmaking will lock both players in, preventing them from matching with other players or finding other players in the community to discuss strategies or exchange information.
Secondly, Huang Ming himself gained almost no benefit from this game.

Therefore, after discussing it, He Xiaojun and Huang Ming decided that they should at least find another player from the same community. In this way, the two of them could take turns passing on wealth coupons to He Xiaojun, while the other player could match with other players, pass on information, or execute other strategies when they were free.

The thief's door was opened, which meant that Huang Ming had completed his arrangements as a sage, and He Xiaojun hurriedly entered the room.

……

Meanwhile, in another room.

'↑ Lovers' has also started a match against '↓ Emperor'.

What do you think of my proposal?

"I can assure you that once you come to our community, you will gain a very high degree of influence."

“I can even give up my core position in the community if you perform well enough.”

"Think about it, this is almost impossible in your community."

These two players are considered to have a strong presence in the eyes of many viewers.

↑Lovers had previously extended offers to many players, including He Xiaojun, but they also didn't neglect the rewards in the game.

Apart from the unexpected situation in the match against He Xiaojun, the other matches yielded very good results.

The Emperor also performed exceptionally well, proposing a new set of rules that players haven't yet figured out the optimal solution for.

It's worth noting that both players with the upright and reversed "Emperor" cards performed exceptionally well, but their overall impressions were somewhat different.

The Emperor didn't introduce any new rules; his strategy seemed simple, yet he always won.

The "Emperor" character appears even more assertive, displaying an aggressive confidence in both rule-making and gameplay.

Many players were hoping to be matched with the upright and reversed "Emperor" players, but such a match did not occur.

After all, the number of matches in the first half of the game is limited, and luck plays a significant role.

For players like He Xiaojun, they may still be struggling to figure things out at this point, and it's difficult to determine the specific identities of these players.

However, some well-informed players had already identified the identities of some key figures long ago.
