God's imitator

Chapter 476 Good News or Bad News (Bonus Chapter)
Han Mengying asked, "So, approximately how many 'blood packs' have we had so far?"

In their division of labor, Han Mengying and the players of Community 4 mainly created prisoner's dilemmas and collected secrets in the peripheral communities, while the players of Community 15 were mainly responsible for using these secrets to 'collect blood packs'.

They need to operate separately to appear as different factions and create more confusion for players in peripheral communities.

Therefore, the figures that Wang Weidong possesses are more specific.

He pointed to different wooden boxes on the table.

First is wooden box number 5, "The Pope," which corresponds to the 5th community where Shen Xing is located.

"This is the most optimistic scenario; we received four 'blood packs'."

"Due to luck, players in this community were matched very early in the first phase of the game, and it was relatively quick to confirm each other's identities. However, at the same time, their first 'health pack' was also the one that betrayed them the fastest."

"They directly sold us a lot of community secrets and the results of our deliberated strategies, so a systemic collapse happened very quickly."

Then, Wang Weidong pointed to wooden box number 8, "Power".

"The community has a decent level of cohesion, but the core players have limited capabilities, and integration has been too slow due to bad luck."

"We eventually got three 'blood packs'."

Wang Weidong then pointed to wooden box number 13, "Death": "This community has experienced internal strife and is now completely divided."

"We eventually got three 'blood packs'."

He finally pointed to wooden box number 14, "Temperance": "The situation in this community surprised me the most. Logically speaking, they should be relatively weak among the marginal communities, and the timing of the first traitor's appearance is not too late."

"But in the end we only got a 'blood pack,' which was the original traitor."

"Totaling them all, there are 10."

Han Mengying nodded; this was a very optimistic number.

Because it's impossible for a primary community to voluntarily become a "blood bag" and transfer wealth vouchers to another primary community; that would be tantamount to courting death.

Therefore, the number of "blood packs" that can be snatched from 20 players in 4 peripheral communities will directly determine the final wealth voucher reward.

Han Mengying and Wang Weidong have control over 10 of the 20 players, which at first glance seems like only half, but that's not actually the case.

Because the remaining 10 players each have different situations.

Some players are very resistant to becoming "health packs" and are unwilling to give away more wealth vouchers; some players even collect wealth vouchers to enter the departure area to ensure the safety of other players in the community.

Therefore, most of the remaining 10 players couldn't make much money.

There are indeed many strong players in the 17th and 3rd communities, but no matter how strong a player is, they cannot conjure people or wealth vouchers out of thin air.

There are only so many players. Once the free matchmaking phase begins, these "blood packs" and the corresponding 4th and 15th community players who receive blood transfusions will no longer accept external invitations. This situation will continue until the end of the game.

Therefore, communities 4 and 15 can rest easy.

Between the remaining 17th and 3rd communities, one of them will have to be at the bottom and suffer the penalty of instant death for all its members. In terms of strength, the 17th community is stronger no matter what.

Therefore, when Han Mengying tried to dig out the "↓Emperor", she made the judgment that "the entire third community will die instantly".

Although the 3rd community has shown great strength, strength and weakness are relative concepts. When faced with the 17th community, which has mobilized all its strength, they have no chance of winning.

It seems that everything is going according to plan.

Wang Weidong leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh.

The game rules this time impose very strict restrictions on the "layout" factor, which has greatly amplified the differences in players' abilities in this area.

For players like Wang Weidong, the first half of the game was quite challenging.

"but……

"If I had to say something, there is one thing I am still worried about."

"Is this really all the two communities can do?"

Wang Weidong looked at wooden box number 17, "Star," and wooden box number 3, "Empress."

Han Mengying considered for a moment: "The Emperor is considering the olive branch I extended."

"The Hermit probably also tried to win over players from the peripheral communities, and the split of this box should also be due to him."

Han Mengying pointed to wooden box number 13, "Death." "So, we can't say they did nothing."

"In this game, being a little slower means being much slower, because once we have complete control of the 'blood packs' of a certain peripheral community, they will no longer be able to take them away."

"The result is what we see now."

Wang Weidong nodded: "Mm."

Han Mengying's words also make sense. Although the 17th and 3rd communities seem very strong, in this game, being a little faster means being much faster. There won't be any back-and-forth battles; it will be a decisive victory for the winner.

You can't always feel like you can't win when you have the advantage, can you?
What's the point of playing then?

The conflict between the two sides is irreconcilable, and there is no possibility of cooperation.

For Wang Weidong and Han Mengying, continuing their strategy until the end of the game is now the only option.

"I'll point out the corresponding blood pack to you, just to confirm one last time."

Wang Weidong began pointing to the wooden boxes on the table in a specific order.

The first wooden box he pointed to represented the 'community,' while the second wooden box he pointed to represented a player wearing a specific mask.

There are 10 "blood packs" in total, so the 4th community and the 15th community can each get 5.

These "blood packs" will always be matched with the corresponding players and will distribute wealth vouchers according to a certain ratio, thus ensuring that the overall revenue of the 4th and 15th communities will be among the top two.

There will be no loss at the end of the game.

The game time is about to end, and Han Mengying doesn't need to spend too much time memorizing this information because her 4th Community was also involved in the entire process of 'finding the traitor,' so a lot of information can be cross-verified.

She would be able to detect it immediately if Wang Weidong deliberately gave her incorrect information.

After this confirmation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the two of them will no longer send each other invitations to be matched in the same game.

Because afterwards, it will be a fixed one-to-one match with the 'blood pack' and a continuous source of income.

The fact that Han Mengying and Wang Weidong are matched only allows them to split the wealth vouchers, which is actually a loss.

Of course, in the early stages of implementing this strategy, there may be some confusion in the first two or three rounds of the game, since the communication cost for players is very high and it is impossible to form a stable one-on-one relationship in a short period of time.

However, most players in this camp received a list, whether complete or incomplete, and they could send out multiple invitations simultaneously, with both sides accepting the match as appropriate.

While Wang Weidong and Han Mengying were being matched, other players from the 4th and 15th communities were also being matched with each other. This way, starting from the next game, they could directly find "health packs" and enter the "blood transfusion" mode.

……

Back in the lounge, Han Mengying looked again at the screens next to the "Sage's Gate" and the "Thief's Gate".

She has already received invitations from blood banks.

Once Han Mengying clicks "agree," the game will be locked, and no further invitations will pop up.

She had reached out her hand, but then stopped and, after some consideration, chose to withdraw it.

The interval between games is very short. If you cannot complete the voluntary matchmaking within this time, you can only be randomly matched or become a spectator.

But at the last moment, Han Mengying's heart suddenly sank.

The Hanged Man sent her a game invitation.

"↓The Hanged Man" is Qi Fan, a player from Community 4, and one of the core members who helped Han Mengying execute her strategy.

However, according to the original plan, Qi Fan should have already found the "blood pack" and entered the fixed match mode, and should not have sent a game invitation to Han Mengying.

The reason Han Mengying didn't accept the 'blood pack' invitation immediately was that she was waiting, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Now, Han Mengying's worries have come true.

This is good news, but it's also incredibly bad news.

Han Mengying immediately clicked to accept the invitation.

　Adding one more chapter leaves me with five chapters to go. This game will likely end in about five or six more chapters. If all goes well, I'll try to finish writing it all at once and release it all at once.
