God's imitator

Chapter 414 Testing Mechanism
Chen Ran made this choice not because he wanted to sacrifice himself to save others, but simply because, like those children who were driven crazy by their parents and jumped off buildings, he had no other choice but to commit suicide.

Sending Fu Chen back to the real world was merely a 'byproduct' of her decision.

Of course, Chen Ran must have given some thought to the specific choices he made.

Although Chen Ran was initially wary of Fu Chen and did not accept his kindness, Fu Chen later helped all the players share the punishment and always encouraged everyone with a positive and optimistic attitude, which touched Chen Ran to some extent.

Perhaps they felt that players like Fu Chen shouldn't stay in the cruel new world, or perhaps they simply envied Fu Chen's personality and family relationships, and had a "live well for me" mentality.

In short, among the other surviving players in the inner and outer fields, Chen Ran chose to let Fu Chen be the lucky one to leave the new world. While there was certainly a certain element of chance involved, it was also largely influenced by Fu Chen's personal charm.

Then the question comes:

Even if a similar mechanism does appear again, will so many coincidences still be possible?

Even if they manage to gather everyone together, which of the players present can be certain that they can help other players as selflessly as Fu Chen, thus making a complete stranger in the game choose to entrust such a valuable opportunity to them?
Therefore, the conclusion is:
The mechanism for leaving the new world and returning to reality exists, but the probability of satisfying so many demanding possibilities is so low that it can be ignored.

This inevitably left everyone feeling somewhat frustrated.

Lee In-sook said, "But to be optimistic, no matter how slim the chances are, it's better than nothing."

"At least we can have hope that as long as we survive long enough in the new world, we will encounter such an opportunity again."

"At least Fu Chen's case shows us that in the new world, good people will also be rewarded, right?"

"However, I think it's more worthwhile to explore why the copycat who designed the 'lifting game' was able to use this mechanism, and why he put this mechanism into the game in the first place."

"What exactly was his motive?"

Everyone turned to look at Wei Yinzhang.

Such a problem would be more accurately analyzed by the copycat.

Wei Yinzhang considered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I was also very surprised, because before this, I had no idea that such a mechanism existed in the corridor."

"I think this mechanism only appeared with this game invitation. I didn't receive an invitation, so I don't know about it."

Yang Yuting thought for a moment: "But it's also possible that this is a privilege only S-class copycats have?"

"If a copycat offender with a rating below S doesn't have the corresponding authority, it's normal that they wouldn't know this information."

Wei Yinzhang shook his head: "I tend to think it has nothing to do with the rating."

"If S-class copycats could have used this mechanism long ago, we would have encountered similar games long ago."

"Because the copycat is also a player, he has always been thinking about whether there is a way to leave the new world."

"Whoever discovers this mechanism will immediately try it out in the game; it's impossible for them to wait until now."

Yang Yuting nodded: "Yes, that's true."

Wei Yinzhang continued, "Therefore, I think this is most likely a new mechanism that has just been activated in the new world after the community and arcade have developed to a certain extent."

"Currently, this mechanism is likely only available to copycats who design elimination-style games."

"I didn't receive the game invitation, so naturally I didn't know about this mechanism right away."

"But it is clear that this mechanism cannot be used arbitrarily and is subject to many restrictions."

“The person who designed this ‘lifting game’ is most likely also experimenting to see if this mechanism can work smoothly.” Wang Yongxin thought for a moment and asked, “There’s a question I’m concerned about.”

"According to the game rules, the identity of a 'super privileged player' must survive to the end of the game to be activated, and after activation, the player can only choose between 'killing one person' or 'committing suicide and sending one person away'."

"Is this rule a restriction imposed by the arcade at the bottom, or a restriction imposed by the copycat offenders themselves?"

Wei Yinzhang quickly gave his answer: "I think it's like this:"

"The arcade should have a rather vague underlying rule constraint. For example, to trigger this mechanism, you must 'create enough obstacles' or 'make enough sacrifices' in the game."

"The copycats, based on these requirements and the specific circumstances of the game, made some attempts."

"Moreover, copycats will definitely try to explore the 'relatively lenient' direction."

"In other words, the vague rule given by the arcade should be more strictly worded than the restrictions we actually see in the game."

Wei Yinzhang dared to make this judgment because "testing the corridor" is a natural part of imitation.

The more skilled a copycat is, the more likely they are to do this; conversely, a copycat who doesn't do well in this aspect will never become a skilled copycat.

Wang Yongxin pondered: "In that case, could we analyze the thought process behind this copycat when designing the 'Super Privilege Player' rule?"

He likely has three different purposes at the same time.

"First of all, since the arcade allows the use of such a mechanism, he must conduct the corresponding tests."

"After measuring the specific boundaries and finding a pattern that can be used consistently, perhaps we can try to use a similar method to send ourselves into the new world."

"Secondly, announcing the rules of 'super privileged players' from the beginning can undermine mutual trust among players, making it difficult for them to cooperate and further increasing the game's mortality rate."

"Finally, this clause actually adds an extra variable to the game. Chen Ran's death directly caused those viewers who bet on Chen Ran to lose everything, reshuffling the final outcome of the entire game."

"Although we don't know how the copycat makes money from this game, he must have earned a lot of visa time."

Yang Yuting lowered her head and pondered: "But...did this copycat guess from the beginning that Chen Ran would become the final survivor and choose to commit suicide?"
"Does that mean that the copycat already knew Chen Ran or Wu Xiaomei in Community 4 or Community 12?"

Wei Yinzhang shook his head: "Not necessarily."

"The copycat who designed this game must have seen these players' criminal records."

"But unlike before, he never revealed these files in the game, which meant that all players could only guess based on hints and inferences in the game."

"In this situation, ordinary players would not be able to guess the relationship between Chen Ran and Wu Xiaomei, nor could they predict Chen Ran's behavior, but copycats who have seen the files might be able to guess it."

"Suppose that Wu Xiaomei's file states that she sent Chen Ran to places like college entrance exam preparation factories, internet addiction treatment centers, and electronics factories, and mentions some of Chen Ran's brief experiences in these places, as well as the current situation of the mother and daughter..."

"Then Chen Ran's mental state is easy to guess."

"After all, players with minor psychological issues may vary from person to person, but players with severe psychological trauma are likely to be similar."

"Of course, this copycat can't possibly be 100% sure either."

"The 'Leave the New World' mechanism is too powerful. The arcade will definitely impose strict restrictions on it. Copycats can't just use it whenever they want. They may have just chosen the path that they thought had the highest probability of success."
