God's imitator

Chapter 499 Distribution
Fu Yujun glanced at the "Death Surveillance" screen in cell number 5.

"If we look at the correspondence, this should be the cell I belong to."

According to the rules, this is the most dangerous cell.

However, according to the correspondence, this cell corresponds to the "lifting game", and Fu Yujun is the only one among the seven players who experienced it firsthand.

This means that the level of danger would decrease if he entered this cell.

But this cell was already very dangerous to begin with, so is it still more dangerous than other cells after the hazard level is reduced? That's hard to say.

Moreover, if he were a "super privileged player," entering this cell would likely be a dead end, and the lantern wouldn't be able to detect it.

Huang Ming asked, "Do you want to enter this cell voluntarily? It's a bit dangerous, think about it again?"

Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng both cast puzzled glances at Huang Ming.

Clearly, Fu Yujun's decision to voluntarily enter the most dangerous cell is a great thing for the other players.

Why should we try to persuade them?
Moreover, from the perspective of the connections, it was a logical choice for Fu Yujun to enter cell number 5.

Fu Yujun pondered for a moment: "My entering this cell is certainly an option. From the perspective of 'survival of all,' it is indeed the optimal solution."

"However, there may be other options."

"That means using the 'cane' to force a player inside. Since this player has no direct connection to the cell, they will most likely die inside."

"But it will still be considered as completing this cell."

"Moreover, such changes will also affect the structure of the 'Questioning the Heart' in Cell No. 4."

"To put it extremely, if in this game all the players who were hostile towards you died in other cells, and only the players who were benevolent towards you survived..."

"Therefore, cell number 4 can also be considered an absolutely safe cell."

"This will also affect Cell 3's 'Stand By' and Cell 6's 'Fate', because both of these cells will 'replicate the punishment mechanisms of other cells'."

"If they were to replicate the 'Question of the Heart' at this point, there would be even more safe cells."

Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng stared wide-eyed: "You fucking..."

But Cai Zhiyuan gave them a cold glance, and the two had no choice but to swallow their words.

This method seems perfect, the only problem is that a player needs to be sacrificed.

Fu Yujun looked at Cai Zhiyuan's reaction: "You've already thought of that?"
"I'm sorry, I haven't interacted with you in the game before, so I don't know your skill level."

"It seems you don't need my advice now."

"In short, you are the 'Hermit,' so you decide."

Huang Ming swallowed nervously.

He originally thought Fu Yujun was going to sacrifice himself for others, but now it seems that's not the case.

The mechanism of Cell No. 4, "The Question of the Heart," is that the more enemy players there are, the more dangerous it becomes.

Because opposing players will definitely vote for death, and they will try to ask some outrageous and tricky questions, exposing all the privacy of the players in the cell.

This will inevitably affect the attitudes of swing voters.

If things continue as they are, it would still be very risky for Cai Zhiyuan to enter cell number 4 on his own.

With Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng, two staunch opponents, and Gao Jialiang, also a latent opponent, it's almost certain that they'll get three votes.

They will definitely ask two highly aggressive questions each, which may change the opinions of other players.

Fu Yujun, Huang Ming, and Sun De appear to generally support Cai Zhiyuan, but this support is not unconditional.

If some particularly damaging secret is uncovered, they might turn against us, since we don't really have a solid foundation for cooperation.

If even one person defectes, Cai Zhiyuan will surely die.

However, Tsai Chih-yuan could also choose to reverse the selection process by using the prison cells to send the three opposition members into dangerous cells, putting them at a higher risk of death.

The more opposition members die, the safer it is for Tsai Chih-yuan to ask probing questions. This not only benefits him during voting, but also makes it less likely that players who support Tsai Chih-yuan, such as Huang Ming, Sun De, and Fu Yu-jun, will ask particularly inappropriate questions, thus preventing a collapse of mutual trust due to a poorly executed "truth or dare" game.

Some questions, once asked, can have serious consequences regardless of whether an answer is obtained, but if you don't ask them at all, they are completely harmless.

This will also affect cells with "replication mechanisms," such as Cell 3 "Stand By" and Cell 6 "Fate."

This Fu Yujun looks refined and has the air of a teacher or scholar. Huang Ming initially had a good impression of him, but now it seems that he is probably not an ordinary person.

Huang Ming became increasingly worried about his situation in the game.

Cui Yifeng said somewhat stiffly, "You can certainly do that, but have you thought it through? This is a trial-type game..."

He is still trying his best to save himself and avoid this terrible possibility from happening.

Cai Zhiyuan had, of course, already considered Fu Yujun's proposed solution. If the copycat who designed the game were someone else, he would have done so without hesitation.

But now, he is unable to make a decision.

In this game, his thinking time has exceeded the total thinking time of all his previous games combined.

……

After much deliberation, Cai Zhiyuan looked at Fu Yujun again.

"If you were to exclude other factors and only consider yourself, which cell would you choose?"

This means that he ultimately abandoned that approach.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to kill, but that he knew the chances of killing Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng in this way were extremely slim.

They may be seriously injured, but they will certainly not die.

This is determined by both the copycat personality of the game's designer and the game mechanics.

If Cai Zhiyuan actually implements this plan, and Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng are still alive, it will only have the opposite effect.

Therefore, Tsai Chih-yuan ultimately did not choose this option.

Fu Yujun thought for a moment: "If we exclude other factors and let me choose randomly..."

"My first choice is cell number 2, 'Spending all my money,' and my second choice is cell number 5, 'Death Watch.'"

"I only trust the exact rules of the game."

Cai Zhiyuan nodded: "Okay, then you can go to cell number 2."

Huang Ming.

"Are you willing to enter cell number 4 for the 'heart-piercing question'?"

"If you have a clear conscience, this cell is safe and the benefits are not bad."

Huang Ming was taken aback: "Huh? Me?"

Cai Zhiyuan looked at him and said, "If you're not willing, you can find someone else."

Huang Ming quickly nodded: "Yes, of course I'm willing."

"I've thought about it, and I think I can go in."

Cai Zhiyuan was certain that his guess was correct. Huang Ming was indeed a relatively benevolent player who had not done anything wrong. Moreover, the players present did not have any deep-seated hatred towards him, so they would not deliberately ask those leading and aggressive questions.

It is very risky for any player other than him to enter this cell.

Cai Zhiyuan then looked at Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng: "Song Xiao, you go into cell number 3. I will replicate the rules of cell number 2 for you."

"You should be well aware of the changes in your visa processing time within this week. As long as your debt does not exceed 5, you are safe."

“Community 15 is a relatively wealthy community, and the power structure of the community has just changed. Jiang Chenyan and Xu Zhao are in dire need of winning people’s hearts, so providing you with an interest-free loan to keep you afloat should not be a problem.”
