God's imitator

Chapter 494 The Farmer's Walk
Cui Yifeng's facial muscles twitched, but he still managed a forced smile and said, "What are you talking about? Are you going to bite back at a time like this?"

Cai Zhiyuan shrugged at everyone quite frankly: "I am indeed a participant in the 'King's Game,' there's nothing to hide about that."

"I don't know if anyone here has looked up the specific details of the game at that time."

“I can say frankly that in the ‘King’s Trial,’ my crime was writing big data algorithms for food delivery apps, which indirectly exploited delivery drivers and led to traffic accidents.”

"In that game, I had already passed the trial, and the vast majority of the audience believed that I had redeemed myself. After all, among the sinners at the time, I was the one whose crime was the least serious."

"There is no reason for the gallery to drag me in for a second trial."

"On the contrary, there was a spectator, number 1, whose performance was quite 'eye-catching'."

“From beginning to end, he spared no effort in sending messages to incite the victim in our community, and ultimately led him to his death.”

"Afterwards, I checked the information of that audience member number 1, and it seems that they have the same name as you."
"You were able to recognize me so quickly because I was a witness to the 'King's Trial', right? You were there at the time, weren't you?"
"Think about it carefully. If we were to have another trial, who should be the 'sinner' and who should be the 'spectator'?"

The other players looked at each other, somewhat confused about the current situation.

Clearly, most communities merely looked up the rules of "King's Trial" but were unwilling to invest their precious visa time to thoroughly investigate the game progress of all players.

But there will certainly be special cases.

Fu Yujun paused for a moment, then said, "Our community has investigated the content of this game."

"Everything he said is true."

Cui Yifeng was clearly finding the situation difficult to accept. He pointed at Fu Yujun angrily and said, "Did you two know each other before? Are you putting on an act?"

Although Cui Yifeng tried hard to distance himself from the situation, unfortunately his acting skills weren't very good, so the other players still looked at him with suspicion.

Of course, this does not mean that others will trust Cai Zhiyuan because of this; they will simply choose to stay far away from these two high-risk individuals.

Cai Zhiyuan sighed silently: "Alright, have you made enough of a scene?"
"This is a trial game. You're already thinking about infighting before it even starts. Are you all that desperate to die?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was full of confidence and persuasiveness, instantly silencing everyone else.

Cai Zhiyuan looked around at everyone: "Don't treat S-class copycats as idiots."

"This game is full of strange elements, and there are definitely many new rules that players are unaware of."

Do you think this is the work of a typical copycat?

"This is most likely the work of a copycat who designed the 'King's Trial'."

"How could he possibly let you find the 'super privilege player' in this game so easily?"
"On the contrary, I think that you players who seem to have nothing to do with the 'King's Judgment' for the time being are more suspicious."

The crowd unconsciously became more dispersed.

But Cai Zhiyuan changed the subject and continued, "Judging from the situation of 'Lifting Game,' 'Super Privilege Player' is just a means to make players fight among themselves."

"At least the 'Lifting Game' provided some hints, but this game doesn't even have any. If we guess randomly, it will only cause the already limited mutual trust among us to collapse completely, and we will most likely end up with a total wipeout."

"If you want to survive, you should try to cooperate as much as possible. It's not too late to fight amongst yourselves after you find concrete clues about the 'super privileged player'."

Fu Yujun nodded: "Yes, I agree with that view."

Huang Ming, who hadn't said much until now, finally understood the situation and said, "Yes, I agree. Let's not fight amongst ourselves and try to cooperate."

Everyone then looked at Cui Yifeng and Song Xiao from the 15th community.

The two men were the first to attack Cai Zhiyuan, but at this point they had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, let's cooperate first."

Ten minutes of preparation time is not a short time. If an absolute core can be formed quickly, there may still be time to deploy some group strategies.

But it's clear that these players can't possibly come together.

So after reaching a broad and superficial agreement, they each silently went to their respective paths and stood in front of the special mechanism for the "Farmer's Walk".

These mechanisms are designed based on each player's "one weight", so they are in a one-to-one correspondence and cannot be confused.

Gao Jialiang tried to crawl under the mechanism and tested it briefly, but the mechanism didn't budge.

He looked at the sign again and confirmed that it was indeed his own facility.

"No way, I can really carry this thing for forty meters?"

There was no time to think; the first 60-second countdown on the sign had already started ticking, meaning all players had to set off immediately.

Gao Jialiang gripped the handles on both sides of the mechanism with both hands and pushed upwards with all his might.

"Please, get up quickly..."

Unexpectedly, the situation after the actual game was completely different from his previous attempts. Under the pressure of the game rules, Gao Jialiang realized that he had obviously unleashed more power, and the entire mechanism really did wobble and lift off the ground.

Then, without thinking too much, he could only take difficult steps forward.

Such exercise requires the use of almost all the muscles in the body, leaving Gao Jialiang's mind blank, with only his initial instincts remaining.

It wasn't until he saw other players through the glass wall at the edge of his field of vision that Gao Jialiang could barely confirm the current order of the players.

To his surprise, Cai Zhiyuan, who didn't look particularly strong, was the first to walk.

Huang Ming, Sun De, and Song Xiao were slightly slower than him, while the others were even slower.

Overall, without any players with exceptional physical abilities, the game felt more like a battle of novice players.

Gao Jialiang gritted his teeth and walked forward. He was starting to feel increasingly strained and was only able to persevere through sheer willpower.

Finally, as the countdown was about to end, everyone crossed the finish line one after another, and no one triggered the spikes on the mechanism due to exceeding the time limit.

Gao Jialiang saw a special button on the wall with several eye-catching words next to it: "[Press to stop the countdown]".

He didn't have time to think and quickly reached out to press it down.

As the last player pressed the button, all the signs along everyone's path turned into a new, unified countdown.

58 seconds.

Upon seeing this number, Gao Jialiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyone familiar with the rules of "King's Trial" will know that the mechanism of the "Farmer's Walk" stage is that the time when the first player presses the button becomes the time limit for the second stage.

In other words, Cai Zhiyuan was the first to cross the finish line, but he was well aware of the rule, so he did not press the button, giving the players behind him as much time as possible.

With only 2 seconds left, he pressed the button along with Gao Jialiang and other players who were at the bottom.

Although the second leg is shorter, players will definitely walk slower after the severe physical exertion of the first leg.

Just five or ten more seconds could make all the difference.

Cai Zhiyuan did indeed choose cooperation, just as he advocated, so the current situation is fortunate.
