God's Imitator

Lin Sizhi paused for a moment and continued to explain:

"Let’s return to the beginning of the game. The first piece of evidence submitted by Wang Yongxin was the ring.

"The verifiable information is: this ring belongs to the bride in the newlywed couple.

"This is evidence that seems to have no information at first glance, and everyone is even too lazy to verify it. Of course, even if it was verified at the beginning, it wouldn’t be obvious to everyone the potential hidden within it.

"The important aspect is the appearance.

"If the bride is from a regular working-class background or leads a frugal lifestyle, this ring can be interpreted as a ’diamond ring.’ The bride intentionally left it on the ship, which can lead to various different developments.

"Whereas if the bride is relatively affluent and luxurious, this ring can be interpreted as a ’couple’s ring.’ Leaving it on the ship can lead to several other developments.

"By interpreting it differently at different times, the subsequent plot direction can be controlled to some extent.

"Hence, our actions before the first recess were essentially to simply confirm each other’s inclinations.

"He initially provides several possibilities with the ring, and I propose ’tragic love’ as one of the possible choices and derivative changes. Afterward, he presents new evidence in collaboration with me."

Huang Shengjie suddenly realized: "So that’s it! So, before the first recess, you two had already clarified each other’s thoughts and harmoniously took charge of different tasks to dig a pit for Tang Qing?

"Lawyer Lin, your task was to pretend not to know the hidden mechanism and solely rely on passively interpreting the legal provisions to weaken Tang Qing’s suspicions while constantly sealing off possible routes for Tang Qing, leading him into a specific trap.

"And Wang Yongxin’s task was to continually present specific evidence that seemed to benefit Tang Qing at first glance, creating the illusion of ’a sure win,’ but they were laced with pitfalls waiting for you to explode at a critical moment.

"I had thought of this before: Even if the one playing ’Lawyer’ wasn’t you, but someone else, Wang Yongxin could still use this strategy because it is almost unbeatable.

"If the ’Lawyer’ understands his intent and responds, he will still proceed this way.

"But if the ’Lawyer,’ like Feng Yuguang, doesn’t understand anything, Wang Yongxin would not actively disclose the hidden conditions behind these tools, thus continuing smoothly with Tang Qing until the game ends.

"If he senses Tang Qing intends to turn against him, he could suitably reveal part of the hidden information to warn Tang Qing or outright backstab him.

"This is seemingly passive but, in reality, the strategy that holds the greatest initiative."

Yao Yuan added: "But to execute such a strategy, another vital prerequisite is that both parties are sufficiently sensitive to specific information and details.

"For example, knowing the difference between couple rings and diamond rings, understanding the specific appearance of the Lion King Card and its actual financial threshold, knowing some legal provisions, and even having knowledge about medications.

"Wang Yongxin proposed psychiatric drugs as evidence to elegantly deal with Feng Yuguang, while Lawyer Lin identified the real-life prototype of the Gold Card by its appearance, all requiring specific knowledge reserves.

"For ordinary players, it is probably very difficult to emulate."

Huang Shengjie then thought of a new question: "Hey? Yeah, how did Wang Yongxin determine that Lawyer Lin also knew about the Lion King Card?"

Lin Sizhi shook his head: "He probably was not certain.

"The Lion King Card is a real card that exists in reality, and it is actually quite famous. Wang Yongxin created this card based on the real Lion King Card as a test for me.

"We were previously in the same community, yet never got the chance to face off properly.

"So, he probably wanted to seize this opportunity to personally feel the intensity of competing against me.

"If I didn’t have the corresponding knowledge reserve and failed to recognize this card, it would suffice to prove my deficiency in certain specialized knowledge structures.

"Knowledge reserve, especially cross-disciplinary knowledge reserve, is also part of a player’s strength."

Qin Cheng thought: "So, Wang Yongxin is indeed quite strong.

"It’s not surprising Wang Yongxin knows about the Lion King Card, given the game’s selection criteria indicating his real-life job is a wealthy merchant. But he apparently lacks mental illness and is able to explicitly specify specific drugs, which is challenging.

"Although Diazepam and Olanzapine are relatively common among psychiatric drugs, most players lacking a medical knowledge background wouldn’t know about them.

"That makes it difficult to manipulate Feng Yuguang."

Lu Qi weakly raised a hand to ask: "But according to the rule for generating evidence, saying directly to generate a certain psychiatric drug might be possible?

"After all, Wang Yongxin could claim he doesn’t know the drug at all and let Feng Yuguang explain it himself."

Qin Cheng shook his head: "That would probably be risky.

"We don’t know the specific rules for customizing evidence, but by common sense, the more detailed the keywords, the better.

"If Wang Yongxin generated a drug he wasn’t clearly aware of, it might backfire.

"Because Feng Yuguang is a professional doctor, if he saw an unrecognizable or extremely rare drug, he might sense something is amiss.

"And with drugs like Diazepam and Olanzapine, precisely because they match the real world, Feng Yuguang wasn’t suspicious, mistakenly thinking it’s genuine evidence from the script, resulting only in regular explanations, not considering deliberately offering incorrect explanations as a probe.

"Using a different drug might not achieve the same effect."

Lu Bingjun supplemented: "Actually, Lawyer Lin is similar. Although theoretically speaking, a lawyer has seen many cases and their knowledge reserve should be better than an average player, not every lawyer should know the specific details of the ’Lion King Card.’

"And such a tiny detail directly influences the plot’s trajectory."

Huang Shengjie frowned deeply, raising another query: "But, if Wang Yongxin instead utilizes your knowledge reserve, deliberately clarifying the card isn’t expired, how about that? Meaning, he intentionally pits you at critical points, what then?

"Though you both have a solid foundation of mutual trust, if he really does this, Lawyer Lin, you’d lose completely, wouldn’t you?"

Lin Sizhi nodded: "Yes.

"However, I judge he probably won’t make such a foolish move.

"Because in this game it’s merely a usual instant death penalty, having immunity prevents death, thus he can’t directly kill me. To me, losing a game or all visa time isn’t intolerable.

"Turning me from a reliable ally into a nemesis...he should be well aware of such consequences."
