God's imitator

Chapter 484 The vast sea and sky
Wei Yinzhang didn't have any special performance throughout the game because she consistently adopted the safest defensive strategy.

In fact, given Wei Yinzhang's abilities, she could have tried to create her own Sage Rules.

After all, she was a copycat and had been exposed to the basic rules of the 'Tarot Game' earlier than other players, giving her more time to prepare.

But it is not necessary.

Because Wei Yinzhang was a copycat and had a clearer understanding of the game rules, she knew that creating her own rules or guessing the wealth vouchers in the wooden box with other players was not a must in this game.

It would be better to use minimal effort to think about this part and reserve all the remaining energy for probing identities and subsequent plans.

After all, many players were testing the rules in the early stages and didn't bring enough Wealth Coupons. Winning three games with great effort might not be as valuable as receiving a full "blood transfusion" later on.

Wei Yinzhang explained, "If we only consider defensive strategies, when assigned the 'thief' role, we can simply ignore the Sage's rules and take the 10 wooden boxes directly."

"When assigned the 'Sage' role, carry as much as 1100 million as possible, without making a significant difference in the weight of the boxes. At the same time, ensure that there are no loopholes in the rules and that the 'Thief's' expected profit is slightly less than 10 wooden boxes."

"I actually used the 'number bomb' strategy a few times, and the win rate in the early stages was quite high, and the returns were also good."

"However, after most players became familiar with this strategy, I stopped using it and switched to a purely defensive strategy."

Everyone nodded.

If it weren't for the fact that the identity of "The Fool" was agreed upon in the community from the beginning, it would be really hard to recognize Wei Yinzhang based solely on his in-game performance, because he has such a low profile.

However, from another perspective, Wei Yinzhang's strategy is entirely in line with her consistent style.

She has never been a player who is quick-witted or takes risky approaches. In most cases, she plans carefully before acting and only chooses the strategy that she believes is the safest and most reliable.

After considering for a moment, Lee In-sook said, "The basic rules of this game can indeed be varied in many ways. Just the strategies shown in the game include 'weight scam,' 'hiding large boxes,' 'number bomb,' 'mother and daughter boxes,' 'number prisoner,' and many others."

"The strategies and gameplay for each rule are different."

"However, let's leave the analysis of each specific gameplay for later."

"I think we should first discuss the issues that everyone cares about most."

"What exactly is going on with Brother Wang?"
Did he choose to leave our community voluntarily, or did something unexpected happen in the game that caused him to run out of points and be disqualified from leaving?

The group looked at each other; indeed, this was everyone's biggest question.

There are still many questions about the various strategies in the game, but they are all insignificant compared to this biggest question.

Zheng Jie said matter-of-factly, "There's no doubt about that!"
"Given Brother Wang's abilities, he can definitely earn enough wealth vouchers in the game if he wants to. How could he be squeezed out by others?"

Qin Yao suggested, "How about we make a rough judgment based on the benefits after returning to the community?"

"The lowest return line is about 56000. As long as we confirm that Mr. Wang's line is higher than this number, we can prove that he has voluntarily withdrawn from the exit zone, right?"
"You can do it by taking a step back and crossing the zone line just before the countdown ends."

Wei Yinzhang shook his head and reminded him, "The visa time benefits we see do not directly correspond to the wealth value in the game. Instead, they are converted after being weighted by a hidden algorithm."

"Individual rankings, community rankings, and the outcome of battles between factions can all affect this specific value."

"Li Jiang and Yang Hui's community rankings are definitely low, so their visa processing time looks similar to everyone else's, but the actual wealth they gain in the game is likely to be higher than everyone else's."

"As for the outcome of the battle between the factions, the upright faction will obviously win more in the end. Boss Wang is the reversed 'Emperor', so he may suffer some losses in this regard."

“We can be certain that what the rules say is true, but only the copycat who designed these rules knows how to calculate it specifically.”

A brief silence fell over everyone.

Even after the game in the arcade ends, not all information is readily available. In fact, similar situations have occurred many times in previous games.

For example, "a certain factor will affect the returns", but the rules will only state whether the factor will increase or decrease the returns, without specifying whether it will increase by 1.5 times, 3 times or 10 times.

Other details, upon closer examination, also reveal similar situations.

This seems to be a kind of tacit privilege of copycats in the arcade.

Qin Yao thought for a moment: "But we can also check the game records to determine the approximate wealth voucher earnings of President Wang in the game, although it might be very expensive to check."

Based on past experience, the more complex the record of a player, the higher the price will be for the search.

This game is very long, and each round is quite complex, so checking a player's entire game record would definitely be very expensive.

If we were to investigate more, the number would become astronomical.

Lee In-sook shook her head slightly and sighed silently: "Actually, there's no need to do that."

"Even if we spend a huge amount of money to find out that Brother Wang's wealth coupon returns are indeed not high, what does that prove?"

"Can you say that someone plotted against him?"

"I would only think that Brother Wang deliberately controlled the number of his wealth coupons."

Everyone fell silent again.

After a moment's thought, Li Jiang broke the silence by speaking up: "I'm sorry, my decision to try standing in area A may have caused some inconvenience to everyone."

Lee In-sook shook her head: "No, you two, please don't misunderstand, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"According to the game rules, you need to enter a certain exit area to ensure the safety of players in the same community, and any choice you make is justifiable."

"I don't think you guys squeezed out Brother Wang's position, because among the 8 people who returned, Aunt Zhou had the shortest visa period, so she is also most likely to have the lowest wealth value."

"What we really want to discuss is why Brother Wang's wealth is lower than Aunt Zhou's."

"It's hard to explain if Brother Wang didn't deliberately control his wealth value."

"So whether Brother Wang leaves the area voluntarily or controls his wealth to prevent it from returning, it's the same."

Zheng Jie expressed his doubts: "That's not right, is it? Brother Wang isn't the kind of person who's conflicted. If he's sure he wants to leave, he just won't stand in Area A."

"Why bother quitting at the last second, or going through the trouble of controlling your wealth?"

Wei Yinzhang said, "I checked Han Mengying's records. She was matched with Boss Wang before, and he also invited her once after the free game session."

"Han Mengying probably wants to poach Boss Wang to the 4th Community."

"From the perspective of community ecology, Mr. Wang's choice of Community No. 4 is quite reasonable."

Zheng Jie was taken aback: "But wasn't the 4th community wiped out in this game?"

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "Then it would be even more suitable for President Wang."

"The sea and sky are vast, and there is much to be done."
