God's Imitator-Chapter 399: Blockade
Obviously, from the voting pattern, it could be seen that Wu Xiaomei, Peng Hong, and Jiao Hongtao, these three people, all disagreed with Zhou Guifen's statement, so according to the game mechanism, they could only vote for Zhou Guifen.
Liu Mingxin didn't object, so according to the previous agreement, he voted for Wu Xiaomei.
As for Fu Yujun, whether he agreed or not made no difference, because according to the agreement, he and Zhou Guifen should vote for each other.
Fu Yujun had somewhat anticipated this possibility, but before the voting results actually came out, he couldn't determine which players would object and had no way to balance the votes in advance. He also couldn't rashly change the cooperative strategy he had advocated.
Peng Hong spread his hands, "Alright, everyone should just cancel the agreements. In the current situation, the previous strategy can't be used anymore.
"If we still want to forcibly balance things, we might end up getting more people blocked."
Fu Yujun shook his head, "No, actually there's still a way.
"But it requires better mutual trust."
Peng Hong was stunned, "What method? The voting pattern has already become like this. To make everyone tie the votes again is simply impossible within one or two rounds."
Fu Yujun explained, "We can 'buy votes' through contracts.
"Everything owned in the game can be used as fulfillment responsibility or breach penalty.
"Opposition votes already received naturally count as things we definitely own in the game.
"As long as we actively buy votes from players with many opposition votes, we can rebalance the opposition votes and lift the blockade status."
Everyone fell into silence.
Liu Mingxin shook his head and said, "Forget it, this method obviously won't work.
"As long as any player is unwilling and pulls some tricks, this kind of cooperation will completely collapse.
"I don't want to buy opposition votes only to become a blocked player myself."
Peng Hong and Jiao Hongtao didn't speak, but their attitude was already very clear.
Of course they were also unwilling.
This was also why Fu Yujun said this method required everyone to have better mutual trust, and the difficulty was much higher than the previous method of voting for each other in pairs.
Fu Yujun considered for a moment and still tried to persuade, "Everyone should have also noticed that this game has the nature of a judgment game. In similar games, cooperation will definitely bring better benefits to all players.
"Those youngsters in the inner field have already established cooperation. We as parents surely can't do worse than them, right?"
Peng Hong looked at the others and in the end still shook his head.
"Ah, forget it. If even one person doesn't cooperate with this plan, there's simply no way to execute it."
Everyone dispersed, continuing to observe the inner field players' performance on the big screen while waiting for this round of the game to end.
Zhou Guifen felt her mind in complete chaos. She looked toward Fu Yujun, "I'm sorry, I thought..."
Fu Yujun waved his hand, indicating she didn't need to say more.
"Everyone is limited by their own knowledge structure and family environment. People living in harmonious families will always subconsciously believe that other families are the same, finding it hard to realize that their own situation is a very extreme special case.
"This isn't your fault.
"From this game's mechanism, such a situation was bound to appear sooner or later. It's just that your luck wasn't too good, and you were drawn second.
"Moreover, Wu Xiaomei chatting with you obviously had ulterior motives.
"The content she chatted with you about could easily occupy your thinking and form a certain mental inertia.
"You were suddenly selected as the 'Sharer' and didn't have time to think too much in that moment. You subconsciously said what you had been thinking about before, which is why this situation occurred.
"Of course, she may also have had an element of trying her luck. If this method were used on other players, it might not necessarily be effective."
Zhou Guifen was stunned. She hurriedly looked toward Wu Xiaomei's direction.
Only then did she discover that Wu Xiaomei, who had originally been quiet and taciturn, was now no longer staring at the big screen the whole time but was talking with Jiao Hongtao about something.
Zhou Guifen felt very frustrated, "I'm sorry. This way, I've caused you to be blocked too. If we can't transfer funds, wouldn't that mean..."
The current predicament left her feeling completely flustered, not knowing what to do.
Just then, the system broadcast sounded.
[Spectator 16 has transferred 1,000 points of funds to Zhou Guifen and expressed ‘Approval.']
[Spectator 16 has transferred 1,000 points of funds to Fu Yujun and expressed ‘Opposition.']
[Spectator 16 has transferred 1,000 points of funds to Zhou Guifen and expressed ‘Opposition.']
[Spectator 16 has transferred 1,000 points of funds to Fu Yujun and expressed ‘Approval.']
Zhou Guifen was stunned, not understanding what this meant for a moment.
She had already guessed that spectator 16 was most likely Li Renshu or Yang Yuting from the same community, since they had previously given her and Fu Yujun over ten thousand points in funds each.
And these 4,000 points of funds now were obviously what had been additionally saved before.
Although during the game process, there were still audiences continuously betting or transferring funds, at this moment it happened to be relatively quiet, so these four broadcasts were very consecutive.
But the question was, what did this mean?
Both approval and opposition?
But which part specifically was approved, and which part was opposed?
Fu Yujun considered for a moment and said, "This should be a player from your community reminding you."
Zhou Guifen was somewhat anxious, "But I completely don't understand what this means?"
Fu Yujun looked at the time, "There isn't much time left. This round of the game will end in a few minutes.
"Actually, I roughly understand what this means. I had also considered this method before, but to use this method, there's a prerequisite.
"Are you willing to trust me unconditionally?"
Zhou Guifen was stunned, then nodded, "You can raise a good child like Fu Chen, so I'm willing to trust you unconditionally."
Fu Yujun looked at her, "Are you certain? Sometimes, parents and children can also be completely different. It's also possible that what I did before was just a disguise, precisely to deceive you."
Zhou Guifen considered for a moment and still said, "I trust you."
Fu Yujun nodded, "Alright."
...
A bit earlier, Wu Xiaomei had also found Jiao Hongtao alone.
"Brother Jiao, can you help me out?"
Jiao Hongtao was stunned, "Help? How?"
Wu Xiaomei explained, "Can you temporarily take some ‘opposition votes’ from me? I can give you some more funds. And this is borrowing, not buying. As long as we get through this round, you just return these ‘opposition votes’ to me. All of this can be written in the contract."
Jiao Hongtao frowned slightly and refused outright, "Impossible! What if I get blocked? Even if I have funds, I won't be able to spend them!"
Wu Xiaomei hurriedly said, "Four votes, just four votes, okay?
"Right now Fu Yujun and I are tied and will both be blocked. I just need one less vote and I won't be blocked. Please, Brother Jiao!"
Jiao Hongtao hesitated a bit. He thought about it, "Then wouldn't it be enough if I give you one vote?"
Wu Xiaomei hurriedly said, "But Fu Yujun will most likely also be asking Zhou Guifen to split votes. He also knows that as long as he splits away one vote, he won't be blocked. To be safe, he's also very likely to split away two to three votes.
"Brother Jiao, four votes would be safe for me. Even if I split away these four votes, I'll still have 16 votes left. With your 14 votes, you won't be affected.
"I can give you 5,000 points in funds, okay?"
Wu Xiaomei looked at the time, somewhat anxious, "Forget it, Brother Jiao, if you're unwilling, I'll go find other people..."
Jiao Hongtao hurriedly held her back, "Send me the contract content first, let me take a look."
