God's Imitator

Chapter 158: Wang Yongxin's Strategy


In the end, in the game that Cao Haichuan and Li Renshu were involved in, the three communities compromised with each other and reached an agreement:

A rough distribution of total wealth in a 4:3:3 ratio, with the Commoners' Community required to distribute earnings evenly internally without threatening the rule of the Wealthy Conglomerate.

Meanwhile, the Wealthy Community continuously focused on concentrating wealth to maintain its dominant position, unable to achieve rapid investment growth and refraining from excessively encroaching on the interests of the Commoners' Community, not daring to rashly increase taxes to exacerbate tensions.

Only when the three parties reached an agreement could they lightly increase taxes, which were then cancelled after establishing a wealth advantage.

In such a "bug-ridden but functional" scenario, the three parties ended the 20 rounds of the game.

Wang Yongxin was somewhat speechless; the Wealthy Community practically gave him high blood pressure.

To start with a winning hand and only end up with a ten percent gain was downright embarrassing to speak of.

But after thinking about it, given that another Commoners' Community was clever and inclined to disrupt, covertly seizing the Wealthy identity indeed wasn't very realistic.

Cao Haichuan's group, overall, still leaned more towards completing the game through negotiation, cooperation, and mutual checks and balances.

Of course, Officer Cao was certainly sensitive enough to textual traps or general conspiracies, which allowed him to counteract the other Commoners' Community's schemes and maintain a balance among the three parties.

But generally speaking, disruption was much easier than strategizing, so this was considered a simple solution under specific circumstances.

In a cooperative environment, the game could yield full returns from around the 5th round. Considering the potential for incomplete investment returns or redundant losses due to crashes, the total return was roughly 1.8 million.

Divided into three parts and carrying out half, each person could receive roughly 65,000.

This could also be seen as the standard earnings achievable through tripartite cooperation.

If earnings fell below this, it could generally be seen as a significant failure.

Wang Yongxin knew that in order to execute this plan, Cao Haichuan was indispensable.

Because with his rich experience in criminal investigation and sharp insight, Cao Haichuan could easily see through those playing tricks, while also providing deterrence through words or actions, allowing the three parties to maintain this fragile balance.

Just throwing Li Renshu, Fu Chen, and Zheng Jie into the mix, the success of this plan would remain uncertain.

"Alright, that's roughly the situation with our group, quite mundane, with no special strategy but stable in its victory."

"Brother Wang, why don't you share your group's strategy? You were the one who accumulated the most visa time." Li Renshu smiled and turned the topic to Wang Yongxin.

The other three in Wang Yongxin's group, Yang Yuting, Xu Tong, and Jiang He, were delighted as, from the results, their group had averaged over 120,000 visa time, amounting to a perfect tailwind situation.

Wang Yongxin was also willing to review his actions to further increase his influence in the community.

"When we entered the game, we were assigned Commoner identities as well.

"However, in this game, we had a natural advantage, the 3 women and 1 man configuration.

"The other Commoners' Community had 3 men and 1 woman, and appeared naturally aggressive.

"Thus, to the Wealthy Community, we seemed softer and more easily deceived, naturally the preferred cooperation target.

"Realizing this, I deliberately lowered my presence and pretended to be a marginal member of the group.

"All negotiation activities were handled by the three ladies.

"This greatly won the favor of the Wealthy Community, so by the 3rd round, through a textual trap in the rules—where one could earn the full 3000 income from the work button—we seized the Wealthy identity.

"Following that, the game became very simple.

"I created a prisoner's dilemma among the two Commoners' Communities, using small benefits to continually break down their mutual trust, eventually taking most of the in-game earnings with only one or two instances of wealth shrinkage."

Zheng Jie was somewhat confused: "What do you mean by 'small benefits'?"

Wang Yongxin chuckled: "It's simple. After we seized the Wealthy identity and showed our true colors, the other two Commoners' Communities would obviously think of uniting to trigger a double-loss through wealth shrinkage.

"We weren't intimidated and continued investing as usual.

"Among the two Commoners' Communities, there were always players with little visa time and weak will.

"When the time was ripe, I approached these players, expressing my willingness to invest in them immediately. As long as they accepted the investment, I would hand them this 'Investor Gains All Returns' investment voucher.

"They could hold on to the voucher themselves, but at maturation, I, the investor, had to redeem the returns.

"I told them that I had already bought the voucher, so there were only two possibilities: First, if I didn't redeem it, the voucher would expire, and only 2000 could be recovered; Second, if I went to redeem, they could immediately gain 18,000.

"All it took was one person not resisting the temptation for a chain reaction to occur, completely shattering the mutual trust between the two Commoners' Communities."

Zheng Jie was very surprised: "Really? Does that work?

"Indeed, compared to empty promises, an investment voucher already stating 'Investor Gains All Returns' is much more convincing.

"This is somewhat akin to when Lawyer Lin used vouchers to buy likes in the 'Matchmaking Game.'

"Some players with weak resolve couldn't possibly resist such temptation."

Wang Yongxin nodded: "That's right. Once a weak link is broken, and trust between the two Commoners' Communities collapses, we have absolute control.

"In the final few rounds of the game, raising taxes as much as possible to reap the Commoners' Community's wealth brought the game to a conclusion.

"Of course, I wasn't that harsh in the end, leaving about thirty percent of the earnings for the two Commoners' Communities.

"Moreover, due to the wealth shrinkage caused by Commoners' Community resistance and incomplete investment returns, the total wealth we ultimately gained did not hit the theoretical cap of over 1.8 million; it was around 1.5 million instead, which was a bit of a pity."

According to Wang Yongxin, even though they did not reach the theoretical upper limit of the Wealth Value, as Wealthy players, they took away nearly seventy percent, so their earnings were still the most substantial among everyone.

Each of the four players returned with about 130,000 visa time.

Of course, further concentrating wealth, Wang Yongxin could earn even more alone.

But he currently did not lack visa time much and found using it to win people's hearts a better option.

No way could he make the same mistake of monopolizing as he did in 'Blood Poker.'

Zheng Jie suddenly thought of another question: "Wait, I still don't understand how you seized the Wealthy identity by the third round?"

Wang Yongxin cleared his throat: "This question is relatively complex and needs to be addressed starting from the game's 'Age Structure'...."

Yet, before he could explain further, Cai Zhiyuan interrupted him.

"Coincidentally, our group also encountered this issue. Perhaps we can wait until Qin Yao finishes reviewing our group's game process to explain in detail?"

Qin Yao was once again surprised: "Ah? I'm doing the review?"

Cai Zhiyuan nodded: "Yes, you do the review. Mainly to explain to everyone why Luo Wei chose to leave the community.

"As for the game details, Lawyer Lin and I can supplement your account."
