God's Imitator-Chapter 228: Realizing Too Late
'Hummingbird' Luo Wei also completely panicked, because she only had 1 of 'Sheep's' vouchers in her hand and could only obtain a bit over 10,000 chips.
Although she had won some chips in the first stage of the game before, she had already used them along with the chips she exchanged with her original visa time to pay off her debts.
Now she was penniless.
'Rabbit' Han Mengying had distributed 5 of her own Contract Vouchers to her. If things had gone according to the original plan and Han Mengying had obtained the final prize pool, then Luo Wei would have been able to get over 50,000 visa time.
This would have been enough for her to pay off the loan in the community and have about 30,000 visa time remaining but now, these 5 Contract Vouchers from 'Rabbit' Han Mengying had suddenly shrunk to about 7,000 visa time.
This also meant that the benefits Luo Wei obtained from the Contract Vouchers were less than 20,000 minutes of visa time.
The loan Han Mengying had given Luo Wei from the Community 4 fund before was 20,000 minutes of visa time. Although no interest was set, a repayment deadline was set: 2 weeks.
That was about right after this game ended, and it wouldn't last until the next game opened.
So this screening-type game was Luo Wei's last chance to earn visa time.
Once forced repayment occurred, the visa time on Luo Wei would be completely zeroed out.
Thinking of this, Luo Wei panicked.
"After returning to the community, let's pass another proposal to extend the repayment period for the interest-free loan, okay?
"One week, just one week would be enough. No matter what the next game is, I'll enter it!"
However, 'Rabbit' Han Mengying looked at her and silently shook her head.
"I'm sorry.
"I appreciate you and have given you many chances.
"But rules are rules, and everyone must follow them.
"Our community is not a community that infinitely tolerates the weak.
"I've already made an exception for you once. I can't make an exception a second time."
'Hummingbird' Luo Wei was instantly drained of all strength and slumped dejectedly against the wall.
Han Mengying paid no more attention to Luo Wei but beyond her anger, she also realized that she actually still had a way to settle accounts with 'Sheep' after the autumn harvest.
Because she had already verbally promised to bring 'Sheep' back to Community 4. As long as they returned to the community, then 'Sheep' would still be at her mercy.
However, until the game ended, she never heard the notification that 'Sheep' would return to Community 4 with her.
Obviously, 'Sheep' had already found another way out but what puzzled Han Mengying was that 'Sheep' had already verbally agreed to enter her community before, and this point had been confirmed at the game level.
'Sheep' could go back on her word, but the prerequisite was that she had to find another community and go through the process again to be accepted anew.
'Rabbit' Han Mengying had also been observing 'Sheep' the whole time. She confirmed that 'Sheep' hadn't made a big show of contacting players from her original community throughout the entire game.
Aside from the small amount of time spent lobbying 'Owl' and 'Sika Deer,' 'Sheep' had spent most of her time with the players from Community 4 but with things having come to this point, 'Sheep' had either returned to her own original community or joined the community where 'Owl' or 'Sika Deer' belonged.
...
A bit earlier, when the broadcast for voting on the Imitator sounded.
'Woodpecker' Zheng Jie and 'Peacock' Qin Yao asked in great shock, "What? 'Sheep' is the Imitator?!"
The two of them had also realized things belatedly.
Shortly after the third round of 'Guess the Number' activity began, 'Sheep' came to find 'Owl' Lin Sizhi to discuss a new plan.
After that, the two went to a corner and discussed for a long time, reaching a consensus.
Lin Sizhi directly found Zheng Jie and Qin Yao and brought 'Sheep' into Community 17.
Zheng Jie and Qin Yao were somewhat surprised at the time. They had originally thought Lin Sizhi might look for a female player from among the existing cooperating ‘Fool Players’ to join.
They hadn't expected him to directly poach someone from the Sage team but since it was Lin Sizhi's decision, Zheng Jie and Qin Yao naturally wouldn't ask questions, much less object.
They cooperated fully to complete the poaching but before this, Zheng Jie and Qin Yao had no idea about Lin Sizhi's reason for poaching, much less that 'Sheep' was the Imitator who designed this game.
Even less did they know whether Lin Sizhi had deliberately poached an Imitator or had accidentally poached an Imitator.
"How did you discover that 'Sheep' was the Imitator?" Zheng Jie asked, full of shock.
He naturally knew that the review would definitely explain it, but he couldn't wait.
'Owl' Lin Sizhi took out two strips of paper from his pocket.
They were the consumption records of 'Rabbit' and 'Sheep' respectively.
'Woodpecker' Zheng Jie took them in bewilderment, looked at them for a long time, and didn't feel he could see anything from them.
"I only saw that 'Rabbit's' oxygen consumption was very fast, and she checked your consumption record very early on. 'Sheep's' oxygen consumption wasn't fast, and she didn't check consumption records either.
"But what does this prove?
"Because 'Sheep' didn't think in the first stage but still obtained Sage identity, does that mean she's the Imitator? This reason probably isn't very sufficient, right?
"There were also other players who from the start made up their minds in the oxygen-rich environment to use a completely random strategy, then relied on luck to get 'Sage identity.' These people's oxygen consumption should also not be high."
'Owl' Lin Sizhi shook his head, "'Fast' or 'slow' oxygen consumption is a very vague concept.
"To make an accurate judgment, the most important point is 'quantification.'
"Both are 'slow,' but how slow is normal? How slow is abnormal?
"Only by mastering a quantifiable standard can you truly determine this question.
"Throughout the first stage of the game, I always maintained the minimum level of thinking.
"All strategies were completed in the oxygen-rich environment before the game officially started.
"After entering the game, no matter what kind of opponent I encountered, I would execute the established strategy and even forced myself to stop thinking.
"So I didn't win much and ultimately got the 'Fool Card.'
"But the reason I didn't think wasn't to save oxygen, but to determine where the lowest limit of oxygen consumption actually was.
"Because once I engaged in unnecessary thinking, the data would no longer be accurate and could no longer serve as a standard for judgment.
"I probably replenished oxygen for the first time right before the last round of the first stage.
"Of course, there was still a tiny bit of margin left when I replenished, but I couldn't be certain whether that bit of margin could support completing 5 minutes of battle, so I replenished a bit early.
"But in any case, I confirmed that under extreme conditions, I replenished oxygen at around 55 minutes.
"Yet 'Sheep's' oxygen consumption was actually even lower than mine. She didn't replenish oxygen for the first time until 59 minutes.
"This shows that her amount of thinking was even lower than mine when I was 'deliberately stopping thinking.'
"This is clearly abnormal."
