Chapter 87 Data Attack and Defense

Female players who receive a "like" have more resources to report others; while male players who receive a "like" have their ability to protect themselves enhanced to some extent.

Therefore, male players can give male players "fun" and female players can give female players "fun", and there is no need to care about what they actually perform during the talent show.

If that's all there is to it, it's not too bad.

The key question is, as time goes on, will there be a situation where male players mindlessly click "boring" on female players' names, and female players also mindlessly click "boring" on male players' names?

Although there are 20 male and 20 female players, with only 18 female players remaining, what if someone defectes once this trend of getting "bored" stabilizes?
For example, in the draft, there appears to be a male player who seems to have plenty of time left on his visa. If he gets the minimum of 18 votes from the female players (which he finds boring), he will be eliminated immediately if he gets an extra 2 votes from the male players.

These players can then share 1/10 of their remaining visa time.

At the beginning of the game, this possibility is relatively small, but as the game progresses and players get closer to leaving the game, their behavior will inevitably become more and more unrestrained.

If a group of people who recklessly vote for "boring" entertainment emerge, then talent shows will become indiscriminate slaughter.

Zheng Jie felt as if he were trapped in a huge vortex from which he could not escape. Death was approaching him step by step, but he was helpless.

Just then, a new broadcast appeared on the big screen.

[Lin Sizhi from Community 17 broadcast two data points to all players.]

[In the first four hours, the number of "likes" Gao Jialiang from Community 1 received through meetings accounted for 54% of the total number of "likes" and "dislikes" received through meetings.]

[Of the players, the percentage who have already had the above data queried is 5%.]

"Huh? Attorney Lin finally made a broadcast! And two messages at that!"
"But... what does this mean?"

Zheng Jie, who had just been accused, was still unable to calm down completely, but in order to survive, he could only force himself to remain calm and concentrate on thinking about the deeper meaning behind Lin Sizhi's broadcast.

"Except for the first one, which is free, every subsequent broadcast means that it will cost 1 'like' or 'dislike'."

"Therefore, Attorney Lin's two consecutive posts were definitely purposeful."

"He seems to be looking at the percentage of 'likes' and 'dislikes' a particular player received through meetings in the first four hours."

Why are you investigating this?
"I don't understand, but 5% of the players have already been investigated, which means that Attorney Lin investigated two people himself?"

"If he wanted to check all the players, his own number of likes would definitely not be enough."

"So, he means we need to help him find more information, just follow this format!"

"But with so many players, where should I start investigating?"

Zheng Jie tried hard to recall all the players he had met in all the meetings, trying to guess which one was the bad guy and which one was the target Lin Sizhi wanted to find.

But he had no clue.

After a while, the broadcast appeared on the big screen again.

[Yang Yuting from Community 17 broadcasts a data message to all players.]

[In the first four hours, Lu Xinyi from Community 3 received 100% of the total number of 'likes' and 'dislikes' from meetings.]

"Sure enough, Yang Yuting understood what Attorney Lin was thinking, and then prioritized investigating Lu Xinyi."

"Lu Xinyi does seem very suspicious, and her data is ridiculously high. She got all likes for the first four hours? Nobody disliked her?"

[Lu Xinyi from Community 3 broadcast two data points to all players.]

[In the first four hours, the number of "likes" received by Lin Sizhi from Community 17 through meetings accounted for 100% of the total number of "likes" and "dislikes" received through meetings.]

[In the first four hours, Fang Wencong from Community 1 received 11% of the total number of likes and dislikes from meetings.]

Zheng Jie was stunned: "Why is Lu Xinyi posting this too? Is she trying to clear her name?"

"Attorney Lin's 100% figure doesn't even seem human."

He went to the data query machine, and after a moment's consideration, decided to check his enemies first. After all, for Zheng Jie, Xue Qi, who was suspected of lying, playing the victim to gain praise during the talent show, and shamelessly falsely accusing him, was number one on his blacklist.

"I want to check the number of 'likes' Xue Qi from Community 9 received through meetings in the first 4 hours, and what percentage of the total number of 'likes' and 'dislikes' received through meetings."

[Query complete.]

[In the first four hours, Xue Qi from Community 9 received 83% of the total number of 'likes' and 'dislikes' from meetings.]

The different data for each person gave Zheng Jie a headache; he didn't know what he could glean from it.

Fortunately, the first query and broadcast of data is free.

Zheng Jie decisively pressed the [Broadcast] button.

[Zheng Jie from Community 17 broadcasts a data message to all players.]

[In the first four hours, Xue Qi from Community 9 received 83% of the total number of 'likes' and 'dislikes' from meetings.]

Zheng Jie didn't know if his data could actually help Lin Sizhi, but anyway, he'd post it anyway.

Then, more broadcasts appeared.

[Fang Wencong from Community 1 broadcasts a data message to all players.]

[In the meeting room, the percentage of male players who agreed to split the bill (AA) was 100%.]

[Qian Li from Community 1 broadcasts a data message to all players.]

At the current point in time, the percentage of male players among the murderers is 100%.

Zheng Jie was stunned when he saw these two broadcasts.

Is there some internal strife in Community 1?

Fang Wencong and Qian Li, as players in the same community, broadcast two announcements with completely opposite motives.

Zheng Jie then realized that this was a very normal phenomenon.

Because players in the same community have no way to communicate, the community's organizational structure has been completely broken down under this game mechanism, with everyone standing on their respective gender's side.

Clearly, both of these pieces of information will further damage the mutual trust between male and female players, pushing the pace of mutual harm forward at an accelerated rate.

Fang Wencong has made two broadcasts so far, and these two broadcasts can be described as a perfect comparison.

[In the meeting room, the percentage of female players who agreed to split the bill (AA) was 7%.]

[In the meeting room, the percentage of male players who agreed to split the bill (AA) was 100%.]

These two vastly different figures ruthlessly reveal the fact that male and female players apply completely different standards when it comes to "paying for the room".

What's even more frightening is that these two pieces of information may have completely different meanings for male and female players depending on their own circumstances.

From the perspective of female players, this game is inherently unfair. Men can get 30,000 minutes of visa time without discrimination just by leaving the game. Isn't it normal and reasonable for them to voluntarily pay 200 for a room?

However, male players see it differently.

It is obvious that male and female players have completely different difficulties in getting likes, whether in meetings or talent shows, female players are naturally more likely to get likes.

Male players are forced to compete head-on, giving up their visa time in advance to female players, but if they get scammed, the male players end up losing everything.

Since female players are naturally given preferential treatment in this regard, why should male players be required to cover the room fees?
Moreover, the 3 minutes of visa time that men can obtain without discrimination is nothing more than an empty promise; they only get it if they survive.

Given the game's mortality rate, if you die in it, why would you care about 30,000 minutes of visa time?
This game is unfair to both male and female players, but from their respective perspectives, they will both feel that they suffer more unfairness.
