God's Imitator-Chapter 477: The Course of Destiny

As the game progressed, He Xiaojun had already figured it out: in fact, from the perspective of the game rules, the Edge Communities should have a larger initiative.

Because as long as these Edge Communities complete internal integration and forcefully allow one player to reap the full benefits, they can definitely ensure the safety of all players, avoiding instant-kill penalties.

But for the Main Communities, it’s much more brutal because no matter how hard they try, how much they struggle, there will inevitably be one community at the bottom facing an instant-kill penalty.

If the players in the Edge Communities could realize this earlier, the situation might have been different.

Unfortunately, their capabilities are limited, unable to seize such opportunities; instead, many Edge Communities have been dismantled and turned into blood packs.

The ’↓Pope’ will most likely not return to Community 14, but whether he can move to another Main Community is unknown.

These players who became ’blood packs’ may not necessarily give up all their Wealth Coupons easily; everyone’s situation can vary.

The foolish and unscrupulous may give more; the relatively smarter ones might give less.

It’s something He Xiaojun simply cannot judge.

"The question now is... which community should I go to?"

He Xiaojun had been pondering for a long time.

From the current situation, he actually holds the initiative and can choose any of the four Main Communities.

Because even if the four Main Communities receive external ’blood pack’ transfusions, not all players can max out the 11 million Wealth Coupons per round limit.

In this situation, He Xiaojun might become the highest earner in the entire game.

According to the game rules, he can freely choose the Exit Area.

[When the number of players in the ’Exit Area’ exceeds the corresponding community limit (12 people), they will be sorted according to their ’personal Wealth Value’ from high to low.]

As long as He Xiaojun enters this area, someone else will definitely be eliminated.

But the problem is, if He Xiaojun forces his way in, he might push out a player who originally belonged to that community.

He might be resented by the whole community as soon as he enters the Main Community.

Therefore, deciding which Main Community to go to needs careful consideration.

Emotionally, he definitely doesn’t want to go to those communities with obvious hostility, like Community 15.

But those benevolent communities, if went to, might have a harmonious internal atmosphere and be very accommodating to the weak. If He Xiaojun goes to these communities and pushes out a weak member originally protected, it could actually be a worse situation.

He felt a bit of a headache, unable to make a decision.

...

The game was nearing its end.

The final confrontation.

Lin Sizhi had already entered the game room as the ’Sage’ and set up the site, invited by the ’↑Demon’ Wang Weidong.

This was still the first time the two had truly met in the Walkway.

Neither the ’Shelter Game’ nor the ’Simple Q&A’ had Lin Sizhi participated in, and the ’Self-Selected Game’ didn’t match them, but now in this ’Tarot Game,’ they were just matched into the same right position faction.

Thus, they had the opportunity to complete a confrontation through free invitations only now.

The ’Thief’s Gate’ opened, and Wang Weidong walked into the room, sitting down at the opposite end of the long table.

He took a look at the notice board beside him.

Still, it was the rule Lin Sizhi introduced initially: ’Numbers Bomb.’

This set of rules was widely used mainly in the early and middle stages, its strategic game isn’t very deep, and as the underlying logic of the game shifts during the free matching phase, few players continue to use this set of rules.

But upon closer inspection, the rules had changed: the ’thief’ only has one chance; if guessed correctly, they take away all the Wealth Coupons, if guessed wrong, they take nothing.

However, for Wang Weidong, it didn’t matter anymore.

Because he could also choose not to accept this set of rules and continue to use the first strategy to take away 10 boxes.

Moreover, strictly speaking, this confrontation could no longer alter the final result.

"You actually accepted the invitation, I’m a bit surprised.

"Does this mean you might be willing to let me die with a bit of understanding?"

Wang Weidong was not in good shape, but he wasn’t hysterical or defensive-breakdown, instead, he seemed quite calm.

It was clear that in previous confrontations, Han Mengying had already invited him and shared the information and judgments she possessed.

After several rounds of the game, Wang Weidong had accepted reality.

There was nothing he could do.

Although he could try to win back Wealth Coupons by choosing ’Random Match,’ his personal Wealth Value being high couldn’t save his life.

Because according to the game rules, when Community 15 becomes the second last in terms of Wealth Value, they vote to decide who dies.

And Xu Zhao and Jiang Chenyan can lower their Wealth Values deliberately in many ways, thereby reducing Community 15’s Wealth Value, ensuring Community 15’s Wealth Value is higher than Community 4 but slightly lower than Community 3.

Although everything was irretrievable, Wang Weidong still couldn’t quite understand some details.

That was how Lin Sizhi managed to turn Community 15’s players against him, ultimately sidelining him.

This only existed as a theoretical possibility, practically almost impossible.

Lin Sizhi nodded in acknowledgment, "Well, what specific aspect do you want to understand?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Wang Weidong leaned back in his chair, exhaling a long breath, "From the results, you succeeded in turning the ’↓Wheel of Fate’ against me and used the conflicts between me and ’↑Priestess’ in the community, causing both of them to betray me.

"In the plan between me and ’↑Lovers,’ these two were divided into the right position and reversed position factions as a middle layer for executing the entire plan and a step for directly assigning tasks to the ’blood packs.’

"So, under circumstances where they both rebelled, I’d be directly marginalized.

"When they corresponded tasks to the ’blood packs,’ they provided revised schemes.

"Some blood packs continued matching with me and ’↑Lovers,’ making it difficult for us to detect anomalies, while others matched with other players, transferring Wealth Coupons.

"They should have been transferred to you and them, right?"

Wang Weidong said this, pointing at the ’Empress’ No. 3 wooden box on the table.

"’↑Priestess’ wanting to kill me, I expected it, and bringing him into this game was, of course, for other purposes as well.

"But what I don’t understand is why you were able to convince ’↓Wheel of Fate’ to also turn against me?

"I checked your confrontation records; you indeed matched with ’↓Wheel of Fate’ relatively early, but convincing him to betray and completely execute your plan within just ten minutes seems impossible?

Lin Sizhi nodded, "Temporary persuasion is obviously impossible, I neither understand hypnosis nor mind control.

"But you’ve actually inadvertently spoken part of the truth."

Wang Weidong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, pondering for a moment.

"You mean...the masks you chose were coincidentally both ’Wheel of Fate,’ so this was by no means a coincidence.

"Your actual timing of the scheme was earlier than this game..."

Since the game prohibits the mention of specific community and player names, Wang Weidong could only refer to Xu Zhao as ’↓Wheel of Fate’, which, instead, helped him realize this point quicker.

Wang Weidong continued to ask, "You mentioned this was ’part of the truth,’ what about the other part?"

Lin Sizhi replied, "It wasn’t my rhetoric that convinced him, it was ’Fate.’"
