God's Imitator

Zhao Heng smiled: "Did you try to recruit Zhou Xiaoying?

"If it were the first stage, I’m afraid she’d have run away long ago, but the situation is different now.

"Have you wondered why?

"Because this is the second stage, the emergence of special drugs has completely changed the political landscape of the entire community.

"When it comes to attitudes towards drugs, there are only two scenarios for different communities: either allow buying and using or strictly control and absolutely prohibit.

"I guess you’re the latter?

"You naively think this is a good thing, but it might not be for Zhou Xiaoying.

"Because no matter how friendly you act, or how beautifully you describe your community, Zhou Xiaoying knows she can never really fit in with you.

"As an outsider, a not strong enough player, a not desperately needed profession, and the only drug-addicted player in the community, can you really wholeheartedly accept her?

"Impossible.

"You’re just using her to win this game after all.

"Of course, due to the recruiting mechanism, she can ensure her entry into your community. But then? She might be marginalized, become an outcast, be disliked by some players.

"For an ordinary player who is already dependent on drugs, a community that controls drugs seems beautiful, but only seems so.

"She knows very well she’s already deeply tied with drugs, you can’t possibly truly accept a drug addict like her.

"Of course, you might be a community where drugs are freely used, but in that case, aren’t you also controlling players with drugs? Just to a different extent than us.

"All drug-using communities will eventually look almost the same, so there’s no point in taking risks jumping around.

"Moreover, Community 23’s organization is not only maintained by fear.

"There are also very generous rewards.

"You only divide the visa time earned in the game, but that’s far from enough.

"Our community has more resources to distribute, such as the resale rights of drugs and the privilege to oppress others.

"Just like Zhou Xiaoying, after winning this game, she can get more drugs than she actually needs upon her return to the community, and she can freely dispose of these drugs.

"She can sell them at a higher price to other players in the community, or choose to store them and use them at special times.

"If she performs well enough in future games, she might even push down some core members.

"Wu Xiufang is a good example.

"So, rather than saying you lost the strategy, it’s better to say you lost to arrogance.

"You think managing drugs is good in a self-righteous way, but that’s just a deep-rooted societal stereotype and political correctness; you haven’t seriously thought about the changes in Walkway and the logic behind it.

"You’ve wasted precious time and attempts on meaningless recruitment, and now the result is only natural.

"So, this is not a failure in the game; it’s a political failure."

Yao Yuan paused for a moment: "I reserve my opinion on this.

"The ecology and construction of a community is a very complicated matter, but you seem to think of it in an overly simplistic and extreme way.

"Perhaps achieving a monopoly and dictatorship within a community can be done under specific conditions, but forcing it will backfire.

"You’re trying to use collective punishment, severe laws, military awards, along with drug control, to forge a brute force and conquer six nations.

"But personally, I’m not very optimistic about your social experiment.

"You’ve planted a big landmine, but because there are a lot of new players in your community, they haven’t yet formed the organization to have the ability to ignite it."

Zhao Heng said nonchalantly: "Suit yourself, time will prove I’m right.

"At least in this game, you’ve already lost.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Heng noticed that Huang Shengjie had put down the raw materials in his hand and was slowly walking towards him.

"Brother Yao Yuan, stop wasting words with him.

"We haven’t lost this game yet, so why listen to his victory speech."

Zhao Heng was somewhat surprised as he watched Huang Shengjie slowly approach from the side, unsure of the other’s intent for a moment.

"Little brother, are you trying to learn from me?

"Do you want to attack me proactively, then trick me into a violation, causing me to be stunned and allowing you time to transport contraband?

"Just like what I did to you before?

"But I advise you to understand the rules and the current situation well.

"You should have already committed two violations, right?

"If you violate once more, the others in your community will have to spend a fortune in gold pounds to save you.

"Last time, I didn’t even touch you and didn’t commit any violation, so I’ve only violated once in the detention room, and the other players in our community have only violated three times in total.

"I still have a very ample number of violations available. If I want, in non-disabling, non-lethal situations, it’s enough to make you suffer immensely.

"I’ve received professional training, whether it’s controlling exertion, dodging reactions, or endurance, I completely surpass you."

Huang Shengjie said nothing, continuing to walk forward.

Zhao Heng frowned slightly: "Your behavior is unusual, have you tampered with something?

"Have you tricked other players in our community into using up their violations?

"Which means, even though I still have one more violation personally, the community’s violations are actually exhausted?

"Otherwise, it’s hard to explain why you’re still coming towards me.

"Alright then, since that’s the case, I have no need to take this risk.

"I won’t retaliate, you can give me a punch with all your might, and see if you can actually hurt me."

Zhao Heng did not believe Community 23’s violations were exhausted, but still decided to not resist for now, opting to observe Huang Shengjie’s actions before deciding.

Zhao Heng’s resistance to strikes was much stronger than that of the average player, even if he stood still and let Huang Shengjie hit him, he most likely wouldn’t get hurt.

On the contrary, Huang Shengjie would definitely exceed the violation limit.

If the players in Community 2 decide to rescue him, they would have to pay an additional 20,000 gold pounds, further widening the gap between the two communities.

Soon, Huang Shengjie had already reached Zhao Heng’s front, and the two were almost face to face.

Zhao Heng’s build was significantly larger than Huang Shengjie’s, with the two appearing to be on different layers.

Zhao Heng didn’t back away, surely he wouldn’t be forced back so easily.

If he continued to retreat, Yao Yuan and Zhou Wanlin would follow closely behind Huang Shengjie and transport the contraband step by step.

Yet Zhao Heng remained vigilant, consistently observing Huang Shengjie’s movements.

His professional training gave him confidence to dodge or block at the moment Huang Shengjie struck, avoiding damage while triggering Huang Shengjie’s violation.

"This punch is on behalf of Zhou Xiaoying!

"Prepare to say goodbye to this world!"

Huang Shengjie suddenly attacked, his body twisting violently, his right hand making a large sweep, delivering an uppercut from the back-right direction!
