God's Imitator-Chapter 382: Outer Field Players

The six players each maintained a certain distance, clearly all from different communities.

They all had name tags on their chests. Zhou Guifen quickly scanned them and discovered there was one player she recognized among them.

[Community 4, Wu Xiaomei] (Female)

[Community 8, Jiao Hongtao] (Male)

[Community 10, Fu Yujun] (Male)

[Community 11, Peng Hong] (Male)

[Community 13, Liu Mingxin] (Female)

[Community 17, Zhou Guifen] (Female)

The large screen had already begun displaying the rules for this game.

[Good morning, players. Welcome to 'Lifting Game.']

[In this game, all participating players will receive three different identities: 'inner field players,' 'outer field players,' and 'spectators.']

[The area you are currently in is the game's 'outer field.']

[You will each team up with an 'inner field player' to complete the game together.]

[For ease of understanding, the following will briefly introduce the 'game objectives' of the three identities.] 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

['Inner field players' will undertake the main game content and ultimately determine the game's victory or defeat.]

['Outer field players' will play supporting roles, doing their best to provide better items for inner field players and earn more funds.]

['Spectators' can place bets and influence the game's direction to a certain extent.]

[Specific rule details will be introduced shortly.]

[Before the game officially begins, all 'outer field players' will first conduct a simple 'auction' to distribute six different 'game items.']

[After winning an item, these items will be transferred to the teamed inner field players. Better items will help them gain advantages in the game.]

Zhou Guifen was very nervous but still followed the game introduction, working hard to think.

"I'm an outer field player, so the inner field player should be Fu Chen. My task is to provide him with better items and earn more funds.

"That means in this auction, I definitely need to win the best items possible.

"But others will definitely think the same. Does it purely depend on who spends more visa time? But our community just passed a proposal to save up all the extra visa time..."

While thinking, she continued watching the content appearing on the large screen together with the other players.

In addition to text information, images of the items also appeared.

Zhou Guifen was stunned because these items looked very strange. She hadn't seen them before, they must be original creations by the God's Imitator who designed this game.

From their appearance, they looked somewhat like thick nails or writing pens.

At the very top was a cap shaped like a car, below that was a vertical thick rod, and at the very bottom was a pointed tip.

However, the size was very large, similar to a person's forearm, and they gleamed with a metallic luster, looking heavy.

On the screen, there were six types of items in total, but their designs were all different.

The main difference lay in the 'cap' at the very top, which were six different car designs. The decorations on the item bodies were also basically related to the car designs.

These six types of cars were: sports car, sedan, SUV, pickup truck, small cargo truck, and van.

In terms of specific design, the item with the 'sports car' design clearly looked more slender, with a simpler design and streamlined aesthetic beauty.

The other several types of items became progressively thicker and heavier, clearly distinguishable into different tiers.

[These are six different types of 'car pens.' From left to right, their advantages in the game decrease successively. The sports car is best, the van is worst.]

[The specific auction rules are as follows:]

[1. Each outer field player in this game can spend at most 50,000 minutes of visa time as funds for 'bidding on car pens' or 'modifying car pens' in the game.]

[2. The maximum bid for this auction is 30,000 minutes of visa time. Each outer field player can bid through the numeric keypad on their respective control panels.]

[Please note: The remaining portion after bidding can still be retained as funds and will play a role during the official game process. Please bid carefully.]

[3. The bidding is blind. Before the bidding results are announced, you cannot know others' specific bids.]

[4. During the bidding period, players can increase their bids at any time but cannot cancel or reduce their bids.]

[5. When the bidding ends, car pens will be distributed to players in order from lowest to highest bid. The player with the lowest bid will default to receiving the 'van,' the player with the highest bid will default to receiving the 'sports car,' and so on. Afterward, the car pens will be distributed to the corresponding 'inner field players.']

[6. When identical bids occur, players will confirm final ownership through 'enduring electric shock.' The player who endures electric shock for longer will receive priority allocation of the vehicle.]

[You have 5 minutes to consider your strategy. After 5 minutes, the bidding will officially begin, at which time one additional rule will be updated.]

[Players, please prepare!]

Zhou Guifen hurriedly searched the venue and indeed found her own control panel. She just needed to input the corresponding numbers on it to complete her bid.

But the bidding hadn't officially started yet. There were 5 minutes to think about strategy.

"What strategy is there?" Zhou Guifen simply went through the rules once and had no clue at all.

The rules had already clearly stated that these so-called 'car pens' were explicitly divided into six tiers, with the sports car being the best and the van being the worst.

Since it was explicitly written in the rules, there should be no trick.

If they could choose freely, everyone would definitely want the 'sports car.'

But the maximum bid was only 30,000. If identical bids occurred, then they would have to confirm the item's final ownership through 'enduring electric shock.'

In the worst-case scenario, everyone bids 30,000, then they all get shocked together, and the player who persists for the shortest time still gets the 'van,' which would be too much of a loss.

But if she voluntarily lowered her bid, how much would be appropriate?

Currently, the game rules hadn't been fully introduced yet. No one knew how these items would specifically be used or how much worse the inferior items actually were.

Although according to the game rules, after saving funds, they could still be used to 'modify car pens' later, the total funds were 50,000, which meant that even after spending 30,000 on bidding, there would still be 20,000 in funds available for modification.

Zhou Guifen could only think of two approaches: either bid 30,000 directly and compete for the 'sports car' by enduring electric shock, but if she failed, the consequences would be severe.

Or bid amounts like 1,000 or 5,000, trying her luck to obtain a small cargo truck or pickup truck, saving as much funds as possible for herself.

...

Just then, one player seemed to have finished thinking and stepped forward to everyone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Fu Yujun from Community 10. I've thought of a cooperative strategy and hope to receive everyone's cooperation."

He was a middle-aged man who looked refined in temperament, wearing a well-fitted white shirt, with a somewhat thin build.
