God's imitator

Chapter 478 The Direction of Fate

By now, He Xiaojun had figured it out: in fact, from the perspective of the game rules, the peripheral communities should have more initiative.

Because once these peripheral communities complete internal integration and force one player to reap all the benefits, they can ensure the safety of all players and prevent them from suffering instant death penalties.

However, the situation is much crueler for the main communities, because no matter how hard they try or how much trouble they cause, there will inevitably be a bottom-ranked community that will suffer an immediate death penalty.

If players in the peripheral communities had realized this sooner, things might have been different.

Unfortunately, their limited resources prevented them from seizing such an opportunity, and many marginalized communities were dismantled and turned into blood donation sites.

It's highly likely that '↓The Pope' will not return to the 14th community, but whether he can go to another main community remains to be seen.

These players who become "blood packs" won't necessarily give up all their wealth vouchers; everyone's situation will be different.

Those who are foolish and have no moral compass might receive more; those who are relatively smarter will receive less.

These were things that He Xiaojun simply couldn't judge.

"The question now is... which neighborhood should I go to?"

He Xiaojun had been thinking about it for a long time.

In fact, judging from the current situation, he has taken the initiative and can choose any of the four main communities.

Even with external "blood transfusions" to support the four main communities, it's impossible for all players to reach the maximum wealth voucher limit of 1100 million per game.

In He Xiaojun's case, he could actually become the person who benefits the most in the entire game.

According to the game rules, he can choose any area to leave.

When the number of players in the 'Leaving Zone' exceeds the community's maximum capacity (12 people), players will be selected based on their 'Personal Wealth Value' from highest to lowest.

As long as He Xiaojun enters this area, the one who will be eliminated will definitely be someone else.

The problem is that if He Xiaojun forces his way in, he will push out a player who originally belonged to this community.

It's possible that as soon as you enter the main community, you'll be hated by everyone.

Therefore, it's important to carefully consider which main community to choose.

Emotionally speaking, he certainly wouldn't want to go to communities with obvious malice, such as Community 15.

But those benevolent communities certainly have a harmonious atmosphere and are very tolerant of the vulnerable. If He Xiaojun goes to these communities but displaces the vulnerable who are already protected, that would be an even worse situation.

He felt a headache and found it difficult to make a decision.

……

The game is nearing its end.

The final match.

Lin Sizhi, as the "Sage," had already entered the game room and set up the venue, while the one who extended the invitation to him was the "↑Demon" Wang Weidong.

This was the first time the two of them had actually met in the arcade.

Lin Sizhi did not participate in the "Shelter Game" and "Simple Questions and Answers", and was not matched with anyone in the "Choose Yourself Game". Now, in this "Tarot Game", she has been assigned to the same upright position.

So only now have they had the opportunity to complete a match through a free invitation.

The "Thief's Door" opened, and Wang Weidong entered the room and sat down opposite the long table.

He glanced at the notice board next to him.

It's still the rule Lin Sizhi first gave: "Digital Bomb".

This set of rules is basically only widely used in the early and mid-game. Its strategic gameplay is not very deep, and as the underlying logic of the game changes in the free matchmaking phase, very few players continue to use this set of rules.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the rules had changed: the 'thief' only had one chance; if they guessed correctly, they could take all the wealth vouchers; if they guessed incorrectly, they could take nothing.

However, this no longer mattered to Wang Weidong. He could choose not to accept these rules and continue using the first strategy to take away 10 boxes.

Moreover, strictly speaking, this match could no longer affect the final outcome.

"I'm a little surprised that you accepted the invitation."

"Does this mean you'd be willing to let me die knowing the truth?"

Wang Weidong wasn't in a good state, but he didn't become hysterical or break down; instead, he remained relatively calm.

Clearly, in the previous match, Han Mengying had already extended an invitation to him and shared the information and judgment she had.

After a few games, Wang Weidong had accepted reality.

There is nothing he can do.

Although he could choose to try to win wealth coupons through 'random matching', no matter how high his personal wealth value was, it wouldn't save his life.

According to the game rules, when the 15th community becomes the second-to-last community in terms of wealth, the person who dies is decided by a vote.

Xu Zhao and Jiang Chenyan can deliberately lower their own wealth value in many ways, thereby lowering the overall wealth value of the 15th community, ensuring that the wealth value of the 15th community is higher than that of the 4th community, but slightly lower than that of the 3rd community.

Although everything was beyond repair, there were still some details that Wang Weidong couldn't understand.

That is, how exactly did Lin Sizhi turn the players of Community 15 against him and ultimately undermine his authority?

This is merely a theoretical possibility and is almost impossible in reality.

Lin Sizhi nodded: "So, which part specifically do you want to know about?"

Wang Weidong leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh: "Judging from the results, you successfully turned '↓Wheel of Fate' against me and took advantage of the conflict between me and '↑Priestess' in the community, making them both betray me."

"In my plan with '↑ Lover', these two people belong to the upright and reversed camps respectively. They are the middle layer in executing the entire plan and the link that directly assigns tasks to the 'blood packs'."

"Therefore, if these two people betray me together, I will be completely sidelined."

"The two of them provided a modified solution when delivering the 'blood pack' mission."

"Some of the health packs continued to match with me and '↑lover', making it difficult for us to detect anything unusual, while the other health packs went to match with other players to transfer wealth vouchers."

"It must have been transmitted to you and them."

As Wang Weidong spoke, he pointed to the number 3 wooden box on the table, "Empress".

“I expected the ‘High Priestess’ to want to kill me, and I certainly had other purposes in bringing him along in this game.”

"But what I don't understand is, how could you convince 'The Wheel of Fortune' to kill me as well?"
“I checked your game history, and you were indeed matched with ‘↓Wheel of Fortune’ very early on. But how could you convince him to betray you and carry out your plan in just ten minutes?”

"it's out of the question."

Lin Sizhi nodded: "It's definitely impossible to persuade them on the spot. I don't know hypnosis or mind control."

"But you yourself have inadvertently revealed part of the truth."

Wang Weidong paused for a moment, then lowered his head and pondered for a while.

"You mean... the masks you all chose just happen to be 'Wheel of Fortune,' so this is not a coincidence at all."

"You actually started planning this long before the game itself began..."

Because the game prohibits the use of specific community and player names, Wang Weidong could only refer to Xu Zhao as "↓Wheel of Fate," which ironically made him realize this even faster.

Wang Weidong then asked, "You said this is 'one part of the matter,' so what about the other part?"

Lin Sizhi said, "What convinced him was not my rhetoric, but 'fate'."
