God's Imitator

Chapter 498: Distribution

Fu Yujun looked at Prison Cell 5 "Death Surveillance.""If looking at the correspondence, the prison cell I should correspond to is this one."

From the rules, this was the most dangerous prison cell.

But according to the correspondence, this prison cell corresponded to ‘Lifting Game,’ and Fu Yujun was the only participant among the 7 players.

This meant that if he entered this prison cell, the danger level would decrease.

But the original danger level of this prison cell was very high. After it decreased, would it still be higher than other prison cells? This was hard to determine.

Moreover, if he was the ‘Super Authority Player,’ entering this prison cell would very likely be a dead end, and the lantern couldn't detect it.

Huang Ming asked, "Are you going to actively enter this prison cell? It's a bit dangerous. Think about it more?"

Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng both cast uncomprehending looks at Huang Ming.

Obviously, Fu Yujun actively entering the most dangerous prison cell was great news for the other players.

Why discourage him?

Moreover, from the association relationship, Fu Yujun entering Prison Cell 5 was originally the natural choice.

Fu Yujun pondered for a moment, "Entering this prison cell is of course an option. From the perspective of 'full survival,' this is indeed the optimal solution.

"However, there can also be other plans.

"That is to use the 'staff' to force a player to enter. Since this player has no direct connection to the prison cell, they'll most likely die inside.

"But it would still be considered completing this prison cell.

"Not only that, this change would also affect the situation in Prison Cell 4 'Heart-Piercing Questions.'

"To put it more extremely, if in this game, all the players who harbor ill will toward you die in other prison cells, and those who survive all have goodwill toward you...

"Then Prison Cell 4 can also be seen as an absolutely safe prison cell.

"This would again affect Prison Cell 3 'Standing By Idly' and Prison Cell 6 'Submit to Fate,' because these two prison cells both 'replicate punishment mechanisms from other prison cells.'

"If they replicate 'Heart-Piercing Questions' at that point, there would be more safe prison cells."

Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng's eyes widened, "You fucking..."

But Cai Zhiyuan gave them a cold glance, and the two had to hold it back.

This method seemed perfect. The only problem was that it required selecting one player as sacrifice.

Fu Yujun looked at Cai Zhiyuan's reaction, "You already thought of it?

"Sorry, I haven't been in contact with you in games before, so I don't understand your level.

"Now it seems you don't need my suggestions.

"In any case, you're the 'Hermit.' You decide."

Huang Ming nervously swallowed.

He originally thought Fu Yujun was going to sacrifice himself for others, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

The mechanism of Prison Cell 4 "Heart-Piercing Questions" was that the more hostile players there were, the more dangerous it became.

Because hostile players would definitely vote for death, and would try every means to ask some rather outrageous and tricky questions, stripping the privacy of the player in the prison cell completely bare.

And this would inevitably affect the attitude of swing voters.

If following the current situation completely, if Cai Zhiyuan himself entered Prison Cell 4, there was still considerable risk.

Because there were Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng, two hardcore opposition members, and Gao Jialiang was also a hidden opposition member. This already almost guaranteed 3 votes.

They would definitely each ask 2 extremely aggressive questions, and this might change other players' views.

Fu Yujun, Huang Ming, and Sun De currently seemed to generally support Cai Zhiyuan, but this support wasn't unconditional.

If some particularly fatal secret was really exposed, they might also defect. After all, everyone couldn't be said to have any particularly stable cooperative foundation.

As long as one person defected, Cai Zhiyuan would certainly die.

However, Cai Zhiyuan could also choose to use the prison cell's screening mechanism in reverse, sending the three opposition members into dangerous prison cells as much as possible, making them bear higher death risks.

The more opposition members died, the safer "Heart-Piercing Questions" would be for Cai Zhiyuan.

Not only would it be beneficial during voting, players who supported Cai Zhiyuan like Huang Ming, Sun De, and Fu Yujun most likely wouldn't ask particularly excessive questions either, which could avoid the collapse of mutual trust due to an awful "truth game" to a certain extent.

Some questions, once asked regardless of whether an answer was obtained, the consequences would be very serious. But if they simply weren't asked at all, it would be completely harmless.

And this would also affect those prison cells with "replication mechanisms," such as Prison Cell 3 "Standing By Idly" and Prison Cell 6 "Submit to Fate."

This Fu Yujun appeared refined and scholarly, with a bit of a teacher or scholar's temperament. Huang Ming originally had quite a good first impression of him, but now it seemed he was probably no ordinary person either.

Huang Ming increasingly worried about his situation in this game.

Cui Yifeng said somewhat stiffly, "You can indeed do this, but have you thought it through? This is a judgment game..."

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

Of course Cai Zhiyuan had already thought of this plan Fu Yujun proposed. If the God's Imitator who designed this game were anyone else, he would do it without hesitation.

But now, he couldn't make a decision for a long time.

In this game, his thinking time had already exceeded the total of all his previous game thinking time combined.

...

After considering for a long time, Cai Zhiyuan looked at Fu Yujun again.

"If excluding other factors and only considering yourself, which prison cell would you choose?"

This meant he ultimately gave up that plan after all.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to kill, but he knew that the possibility of killing Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng using this method was minimal.

They might be seriously injured, but they definitely wouldn't die.

This was determined jointly by the personality of the God's Imitator who designed this game and the game mechanism.

If Cai Zhiyuan really executed this plan and Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng didn't die, it would only have the opposite effect.

So Cai Zhiyuan ultimately didn't choose this plan.

Fu Yujun thought for a moment, "If excluding other factors and letting me choose freely...

"My first choice is Prison Cell 2 'Scattering a Fortune,' my second choice is Prison Cell 5 'Death Surveillance.'

"I only trust definite game rules."

Cai Zhiyuan nodded, "Good, then you enter Prison Cell 2.

"Huang Ming.

"Are you willing to enter Prison Cell 4 'Heart-Piercing Questions'?

"If you have a clear conscience, this prison cell is safe, and the returns are pretty good too."

Huang Ming was stunned, "Huh? Me?"

Cai Zhiyuan looked at him, "If you're unwilling, we can switch to someone else."

Huang Ming quickly nodded, "Willing, of course willing.

"I thought about it. I can go in."

Cai Zhiyuan confirmed that his speculation was correct. Huang Ming was indeed a relatively benevolent player who hadn't done anything against his conscience. And these players present didn't have deep grudges with him, so they probably wouldn't deliberately ask those highly suggestive and aggressive questions.

For players other than him to enter this prison cell, the risk would be very high.

Cai Zhiyuan looked at Song Xiao and Cui Yifeng again, "Song Xiao, you enter Prison Cell 3. I'll replicate the rules of Prison Cell 2 for you.

"You should be very clear about your visa time changes within this week. As long as the debt doesn't exceed 50,000, it's safe.

"Community 15 is a relatively wealthy community, and the power structure of the community just changed. Jiang Chenyan and Xu Zhao urgently need to win hearts. Providing you with an interest-free loan to keep you alive shouldn't be a problem."
