God's Imitator

Lin Sizhi slightly shook his head: "You can’t simply compare the game’s rating by this one dimension.

"After all, each game’s purpose and rules are different.

"Literature can’t rank first, each has its merits.

"Relatively speaking, the design intent of the ’Jury Game’ is quite fair, although it targets weaker professions, it doesn’t seem to be about certain death.

"This game is more about the competition between players, with the Imitator acting as the ’unfair judge.’

"However, ’King’s Judgment’ is different, it’s no longer about player competition but about the Imitator directly setting up and designing for the players.

"Thus, the game’s targeting strength towards players only represents the Imitator’s malice, and not necessarily their true capability."

Lu Bingjun nodded: "That’s exactly what I wanted to say earlier.

"I think the game ’King’s Judgment’ vividly displays the characteristics of the Judgment games, targeting sinners’ human nature and dark sides.

"Given Ding Wenqiang’s character, although the game rules seem to provide him many ways to survive, he only ends up on one path to doom.

"Such a clever approach... our entire previous region had never seen before.

"No wonder there are such major differences between the two regions."

Shen Bowen asked with some reflection: "In the end... was this Imitator found?"

Lin Sizhi abstained: "I don’t think it’s time to answer that question yet.

"Because just revealing whether it’s been found may also interfere with everyone’s thinking."

Lu Bingjun nodded: "Hmm, regarding the final answer of this game, let’s wait until Lawyer Lin thinks it’s necessary to reveal.

"I also agree with this perspective: regardless of whether there’s a definitive answer, sharing information now is equivalent to wasting this precious game.

"Directly seeing the answer and deriving it from one’s own thoughtful conclusions have different impacts on personal growth.

"If it were only an A-Class game, perhaps it wouldn’t require such caution, but an S-Class game warrants all the caution."

He paused slightly, scanning the crowd:

"Does anyone else have no intention of speaking freely? Then according to the agenda, let’s start speaking clockwise from my right-hand side.

"Everyone should try to speak for a full minute, although less than a minute is okay, just perfect for testing the new agenda rules.

"Players who have already spoken can freely choose whether to continue speaking."

Everyone did not specifically prepare timers, so the full minute each speaks can only be guessed.

Of course, timers could be purchased at vending machines, but Lu Bingjun and Yao Yuan should want to test whether community rules automatically apply, if a player fails to speak for a full minute, automatically donate visa time.

In order, the first player on Lu Bingjun’s right is Lin Sizhi, followed by He Qinyun, so it’s He Qinyun who speaks first.

"I suspect the Audience highly.

"In this game, Audience can interfere or even control the King’s actions to a certain extent by sending messages, which is an excellent position for the Imitator.

"Moreover, the Audience voluntarily participated, as long as the Imitator wants, they can almost ensure they enter stably."

To her right, Shen Bowen considered and then said: "There are various mechanisms in the game, including the ’Farmer’s Walk’ mechanism and mechanisms in each cell.

"So I think this Imitator might have a technical background.

"Because there are many ways to design a game, technical-minded players might instinctively use mechanisms to solve problems and design reasonable ones."

Since they knew they had to speak for a full minute initially, they intentionally extended their time somewhat.

In the absence of more information to give, they can also achieve this by repeating content and adjusting speaking pace.

Later players also tacitly adopted the same method.

Zhang Yan considered for a moment: "The Imitator is the Audience, but did they shoot themselves in the foot during the game?

"It doesn’t seem like something an S-Class Imitator who designs the game would do.

"The S-Class Imitator’s goal shouldn’t be just visa time; I think the game might be testing some mechanisms or toying with human psyche.

"Moreover, the Imitator can also earn from the game, no need to earn again as an Audience."

Ye Lin thought for a moment: "I think it’s unnecessary to overly mythologize the S-Class Imitator.

"Of course, I’m not saying they’re not dangerous, but we should consider the timing of this game.

"It’s the second game of the first stage, so even the strongest Imitator might not achieve perfection initially, many accidental factors might have influenced their design.

"Overall, I think the likelihood that the Imitator is unrelated to the former community as a sixth person is higher."

Both had already spoken previously but still supplemented their views again.

Wen Wan said somewhat hesitantly: "Although this is an S-Class Imitator, it was only the second game then; surely they don’t have much visa time either.

"What if they feel the time gained as an Imitator isn’t enough? Earning again as the Audience seems reasonable.

"Who would dislike more visa time?"

Geng Yuxia felt nervous when it was her turn but still said: "...I feel we need to work out more in the future?

"Like carrying things in this game, it’s quite similar to carrying a shoulder pole, really difficult! What if we meet again, what do we do if we’re out of shape?

"It’s not impossible, surely some Imitators would learn.

"You younger folks would be fine, but with my age, I don’t know what to do."

Zhou Wanlin nodded in agreement: "Aunty is right, we should indeed workout.

"There are similar segments in the ’Prison Factory,’ players with better physical strength have advantages in the game.

"The community does have a gym, or we can run outside; more exercise is necessary, or someone organizes and sets a fixed time for group training would be good.

"Too bad Deng Xiao is gone; if he were here, he’d guide us."

Zheng Chunhua looked around the crowd somewhat uneasily: "I think... this Imitator of ’King’s Judgment’ might be a successful person with relatively higher social status?

"Not necessarily as successful as Wang Yongxin, but also not lacking, and possibly with a psychological background?

"I feel I have a similar mindset to Ding Wenqiang, or rather, people like us aren’t too different.

"But such personality flaws are indiscernible to oneself; surely people from another class see it clearer."
