God's Imitator

Yang Yuting fell into contemplation, then nodded, ”I understand. As long as you’re willing to support me in gaining greater voice in the community, I’ll also work hard to improve myself and give you more support in return.”

Wang Yongxin was satisfied with this, ”Good. I don’t like talking to others about morals or commitments. Those are all empty. For me, just talking about interests is enough.

”Binding interests is the most stable and unbreakable relationship.

”So I also hope you won’t be influenced by other factors.

”When we have common interests in the community, we can establish unbreakable cooperation based on interests. When we don’t have common interests, we can also choose to go our separate ways, then rebuild cooperation when common interests appear again.

”For both of us, this is a better way to cooperate.”

Yang Yuting nodded, ”In the last game, I really didn’t have any particularly good performance.

”Cai Zhiyuan was too strong in that game, so I think I probably can’t compete for the position of the third game core in the community.”

Wang Yongxin shook his head and consoled her, ”It’s fine. Everyone has parts they’re good at, and no one can predict what kind of games will come next.

”The reason I’m optimistic about you is because you’re still young, have good potential, and your privileged family background gave you a good character and sufficient confidence.”In this hellish place called the New World, as long as you survive, there will always be infinite possibilities.

”Don’t take previous matters too much to heart. Focus on the more distant future.”

...

That evening, Lin Sizhi returned to his room and discovered a new game invitation had appeared on his computer.

[Hello, Lin Sizhi.]

[As games continue to proceed, players and God’s Imitators will be continuously eliminated.]

[During this process, you as an excellent God’s Imitator have contributed greatly, but many players and God’s Imitators have also begun to gradually adapt and refuse to evolve and change.]

[Those who only think about surviving in safe communities without any enterprising spirit don’t deserve to survive in the New World.]

[One week from now, the Gallery will open a new ’Selection Game’, with the selection range including ’all players’ and ’all God’s Imitators’ from Communities 1 through 20.]

[However, this game’s format will be somewhat different from previous ones.]

[In this game, the Gallery will send out game design invitations for ’Basic Rules’ to all God’s Imitators.]

[The selected proposal will become the ’Basic Rules’ for this game.]

[After that, all God’s Imitators can design an independent game unit under the ’Basic Rules’. After entering the game, players can freely choose game units to play.]

[After the game ends, fixed proportions of players and God’s Imitators will be eliminated based on game results.]

[Players will have a fixed elimination rate of: ’30%’.]

[God’s Imitators will have a fixed elimination rate of: ’20%’.]

[The deadline is 8 AM tomorrow. You have 12 hours to complete the ’Basic Rules’ design.]

[After the ’Basic Rules’ are determined, the Gallery will again send out game design invitations to all God’s Imitators.]

[Now, the 12-hour countdown begins. Please make your choice.]

Seeing this game invitation, Lin Sizhi was slightly surprised.

Because it was completely different from previous game invitation formats.

Previous game invitations all let God’s Imitators freely design proposals, only selecting the best proposal among them to set up the game venue.

As for those God’s Imitators whose proposals weren’t selected, there were no penalties whatsoever.

The Gallery had previously screened God’s Imitators through ’Selection Games’, such as ’Blind Date Game’, but mainly through ’proposal modification’ and ’forced entry into games’.

The targets were basically all individuals.

But after previous screenings, those God’s Imitators with poorer performance should have all been filtered out.

Whether they were God’s Imitators ’always unable to design B-rank games’ or God’s Imitators ’attempting to set up rigged operations’, they should have mostly died.

Under these circumstances, the vast majority of God’s Imitators were in very safe positions.

They could ensure stable selection into a game within a certain time period through methods like topic prediction and definitely wouldn’t lack visa time.

In this situation, they were far safer than ordinary players.

Because they could consciously participate more in community building, increasing their voice, and not participate in any games they didn’t need to.

And those games that forcibly selected according to certain rules often selected weak players, either screening by visa time or by number of times discussing motions.

As long as God’s Imitators deliberately avoided these conditions, it was very difficult to be selected.

But obviously, this situation was something the Gallery was unwilling to see.

This game invitation set fixed elimination rates. Players would have a fixed 30% elimination rate, while God’s Imitators would have a fixed 20% elimination rate.

Although ’the game’s basic rules’ would be decided by a certain God’s Imitator, regardless of what the specific rules were, this elimination rate wouldn’t change.

But securing the design rights for the ’game basic rules’ was still very necessary.

Because through setting basic rules, one could target a specific type of player or God’s Imitator, thereby producing a more biased elimination effect.

Lin Sizhi looked at these two elimination rate numbers and fell into thought.

”This elimination rate is very unfriendly to God’s Imitators.

”On the surface, the elimination rate seems lower than players, only 20%, but the problem is, God’s Imitators themselves are also considered players.

”So God’s Imitators actually bear a double elimination rate.

”Not only will they be forced to design games, but they’ll also be forced to enter games. If either identity falls into the elimination range, it will lead to death.

”For the person designing the game’s basic rules, they must ensure the basic rules have very clear ranking and elimination mechanisms.

”If they can’t select the players and God’s Imitators at the bottom of the rankings, or if the selection isn’t convincing enough after being made, then the proposal will definitely be rejected by the Gallery.

”At the same time, they should utilize the opportunity of designing basic rules as much as possible to directionally screen certain specific players and God’s Imitators, making the Gallery and New World evolve in the direction they more expect.

”There’s one more tricky point. This time’s basic rules actually need to consider multiple layers of strategy.

”Players will definitely try to exploit loopholes in the game or undermine other players. That’s certain.

”God’s Imitators will also try to exploit loopholes in the basic rules to design game units more favorable to themselves.

”Besides this, between God’s Imitators themselves, they also need to consider whose proposal will be more popular. Simply thinking about designing a cruel game to harvest players won’t work, because players can choose other God’s Imitators’ games.”

This game invitation’s time was very short, only 12 hours, meaning the basic rules would be selected by 8 AM tomorrow.

After serious consideration, Lin Sizhi began writing the rules.
