God's imitator

Chapter 80 Accusation
Yang Yuting frowned and thought for a while before saying, "But... even if I don't lie and just fulfill my promise normally, assuming a male player is willing to split the 3, I can still guarantee 45000 minutes of visa time."

"Why would I lie to people for an extra 40,000?"

Lu Xinyi said helplessly, "You're a rich second-generation who's never lacked money since you were a child, right?"
"Listen to what you're saying. Do you think an extra 40,000 is a small amount?"
"How much risk would you have to take to earn 40,000 in other games?"

"Besides, even if you keep your promise, so what? Apart from the male player from another community who actually matches you in the end, who knows? Who cares?"

"On the contrary, if other female players cheat a lot, and many male players are cheated multiple times, they will not attack a specific person, but will attack all the female players in this game."

"Judging from the results, your persistence was completely meaningless."

Yang Yuting frowned and asked, "What about the male players in your community? What about them?"

Lu Xinyi smiled but remained silent, seemingly unwilling to answer the question.

Yang Yuting suddenly understood: "I see. Judging from the situation of 'Blood Poker,' your community has long since decided on a proposal for a mandatory equal distribution of profits, so male players can also benefit from your actions."

Even if they can't contact you after entering the game, they can still guess what you'll do.

"Therefore, they will take the initiative to give other female players more benefits, fuel the fire, and even take the initiative to broadcast some broadcasts that are not conducive to male players, which is equivalent to giving you support."

"No wonder that male player from your community was so generous; it turns out that was part of your strategy."

Lu Xinyi nodded: "That's right, among the female players I've met in the 17th community, you're one of the smarter ones."

"In short, I'm not the only one who came up with this strategy; smart people in other communities must have thought of it as well."

"It will spread faster than you think."

"As more male players are scammed, they will realize this and some will start refusing to offer discounts."

"So we need to take advantage of this time difference."

"Those who adopt this strategy first will reap the greatest benefits, those who adopt it later will pick up the scraps, and those who do not adopt this strategy will not benefit but will share the consequences."

"This process is irreversible, you'd better think it through quickly."

Yang Yuting pondered for a moment and said, "But you seem to have forgotten a very important point."

"The 'Blind Date Game' will have two phases, with some brand new rules being updated in the last 4 hours."

Are you sure your strategy will still be effective in the latter part of the game?

Lu Xinyi was not surprised: "Of course I've considered this issue."

"But as I said before, since this game has passed the review of the arcade, its design logic should at least remain consistent throughout."

"If the copycat who designed this game forcibly added a hidden rule like 'the player with the most likes is the one who gets executed,' it would be completely illogical and almost impossible to pass the game gallery's review."

"Therefore, I believe that even if the rules are updated in the second half of the game, or even if some kind of killing rule is updated, 'likes' will still be a crucial resource in this game, and 'visa time' will still be a real source of income for the game."

"The accumulation of the first 4 hours will inevitably determine the starting point of the next 4 hours."

"Of course, I can't be 100% sure either."

"But no matter what, I can only think about the optimal solution for the third community within the existing rules of the game."

As we were speaking, a system notification sounded.

[The meeting time has ended. Both players are requested to leave the venue and return to their respective rooms.]

Lu Xinyi stood up: "Shall we exchange likes?"

Yang Yuting shook her head: "No need, I don't trust you."

Lu Xinyi didn't mind. She turned around and waved, "Think it over carefully. Goodbye."

……

……

Before we knew it, nearly four hours had passed.

Zheng Jie was starving, but he resisted the urge to buy food from the vending machine.

After checking the number of likes he had received, he sighed silently.

[Community 17 - Zheng Jie] [Current Likes: 1]

[Current number of dislikes: 1]

[Current number of likes received: 2]

[Currently received 'dislikes': 4]

"Who on earth is getting these likes? Is this game even playable anymore??"

Zheng Jie was also helpless. He felt that he had done enough, but the final result was still terrible.

On the big screen, the voices of the contestants from the talent show could be heard.

【Community 9 - Xiao Zhiyu】

"I want to file a complaint! I was scammed out of 30,000 minutes of visa time vouchers by three female gamers!"
"This is clearly a mutually beneficial deal, so why the lack of integrity? I'm going to expose the names of these three female players; they are from the 12th community..."

[Performer #2 received more than 20 "boring" comments; the performance was forcibly terminated.]

Zheng Jie had been eager to hear who the fraudulent female players were so he could avoid them, but before he could finish speaking, the talent show was cut off.

"It only ends when 20 players all click 'bored,' does that mean... all the female players clicked 'bored'??"

"No, there are probably male players among them as well."

"But so what? Isn't the situation just as bad?"

Zheng Jie realized that it was virtually impossible to find out which female players were lying through the talent show.

Because the chances of a talent show are very limited, each player will likely only get one chance, and many players will immediately vote "boring" and then cancel the selection as soon as they hear similar news.

The victims are completely unable to speak out.

[Jiao Hongtao from Community 8 broadcasts a data message to all players.]

The percentage of female players who did not accept another invitation to the next meeting after receiving the 1-minute voucher is 100%.

Zheng Jie put his hand to his forehead, looking somewhat desperate.

Oh right, I almost forgot you can also broadcast.

The problem is that the broadcast can only broadcast data related to "ratio" in the game that has been queried, but it cannot broadcast the list of fraudulent players or the specific scams.

Zheng Jie vaguely remembered this player named Jiao Hongtao; he seemed to be the disheveled uncle who was swiftly eliminated from the previous talent show.

It seems he was also very angry, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a broadcast.

This is another shocking statistic: a 100% rate, which looks quite alarming.

It even gives people the feeling that "all female gamers are scammers".

Of course, Zheng Jie felt that this probability was not necessarily true. Perhaps so far only three or four female players had obtained the 1-minute voucher and then all of them changed their minds?

In that case, although it would still fit this data, the number of female players who lie would only account for 20% of the total number of female players, which is not that bad.

The same thing, calculated using different methods to arrive at different proportions, can give people completely different feelings when broadcast.

However, there probably aren't many players who can roughly figure out these probabilistic tricks like Zheng Jie.

Besides, even if you could figure out these probabilities, what then?

Staying alert doesn't necessarily increase your profits.

In the previous meeting, Zheng Jie executed his established strategy: first, he would test the waters with bottled water; if the other party did not appreciate it, he would simply pass; if the other party showed gratitude, he would try to exchange a voucher for 10,000 minutes of visa time for a promise to exchange likes at the last meeting.

Of course, Zheng Jie couldn't just give it to them based on a single, unsubstantiated statement. He asked them to exchange likes first.

After confirming the exchange, he will invite the other party to a second meeting, at which point he will hand over the voucher.

As for the extra 3 stomps he received, that's how he got them.
