Outside, there was a not very spacious game field, about several tens of square meters, and the exit door on the other end was visible, suggesting that this game might have multiple different areas.

In the initial area, there was a large screen, which was expected, given the need to introduce the relevant game rules.

Besides that, in the room, there were two completely different pieces of machinery, which looked a little bit like torture devices.

The first torture device was in a standing position, with many clasps for securing different parts of the body, and heavy objects hanging overhead. There were also many holes in the machinery. These holes were likely to eject some kind of weaponry, somewhat similar to the device in 'King's Judgment' during the Farmer's Walk.

The second torture device was in a lying position, also with clasps for securing different body parts, but no holes, only sheets of what seemed to be electrodes for connecting different body parts.

...

Soon, the other three players emerged from their respective doors.

These doors then automatically closed and locked tightly.

Yang Yuting was among them, and her Judicial Badge on her chest differed in design from Jiang He's badge, and it was noticeably smaller because her role was that of a 'Juror'.

The other two 'Juror' players consisted of one male and one female.

The male player appeared with a somewhat vicious expression, making Jiang He instinctively feel a dislike towards him.

While the female player seemed somewhat timid, with her head slightly lowered, always keeping half a step behind this male player.

Yang Yuting felt a bit downcast, still struggling to accept the fact that she had been forcibly pulled into the judgment game.

But with the situation as it was, she could only step forward to greet the other two players.

"Hello, we are players from Community 17. My name is Yang Yuting, and she is Jiang He."

The male player nodded: "Community 17? I've heard of it.

"We are players from Community 13. My name is Li Jiang, and she is Chen Yumei."

Yang Yuting was a bit surprised: "Community 13? We don't seem to have met in the game before.

"Which of you two was forced into the game?"

Li Jiang shrugged: "Isn't it obvious?"

The two sides didn't say much more, simply maintaining a rather polite distance, then each turned to face the large screen, waiting for the formal game rules to be announced.

Although Community 13 and Community 17 had never directly encountered each other in the game before, it's possible to have heard some rumors indirectly.

For example, Community 13 might have heard about Community 17 in their own community's judgment games through others.

But this was not a big issue, because even if Community 13 could hear something about Lin Sizhi or other players, they were unlikely to have a particularly deep understanding of the overall environment and ecosystem of Community 17.

Of course, it remained necessary to protect one's own information as much as possible.

Based on the initial composition of personnel, you could speculate that amongst the two players from Community 13, one was also forced into the game, and the other was a selected assistant.

Just like Jiang He choosing Yang Yuting as her assistant.

After a brief wait, the game rule introductions appeared on the large screen.

[Hello, players.]

[Welcome to the 'Fertility Judgment'.]

[You have already acquired your identities in the game, one 'Chief Judge' and three 'Jurors'.]

[The four of you collectively form the 'Judicial Council' in this game and will work together to complete multiple judgments.]

[Before introducing the specific game rules, we'll first introduce the 'Death Penalty Mechanism' in this game, and please make sure to remember it.]

[The background of this game is: The country you are in is facing a 'Childbirth Crisis', while the neighboring Barbarian Race is eyeing you covetously.]

[The total duration of the game is 1 hour, during which you must manufacture at least 10 'Fertility Badges', or else the 'Population Invasion' of the Barbarian Race will be triggered. This is the only death penalty mechanism targeting members of the Judicial Council in this game aside from violations.]

[The specific method for manufacturing 'Fertility Badges' will be introduced shortly.]

[Barbarian Invasion:]

[If, within the game time limit, you manufacture fewer than 10 'Fertility Badges', the 'Population Invasion' of the Barbarian Race will be triggered.]

[At this time, all members of the Judicial Council will be presented with the answers to the initial 5 questions, and judgment voting for all Inner Court Players will commence. (The audience is not included in this.)]

[The voting will have only two options: 'Life' and 'Death'.]

[When the players voting for death surpass half, the voted player will suffer an immediate death penalty.]

[After triggering the 'Barbarian Invasion', it is necessary to activate at least one immediate death penalty through voting for all judged players, with at most deaths reducing the number to 2 remaining players.]

[If no immediate death penalties can be activated through voting, all judged players will suffer an immediate death penalty.]

[Moreover, during the game, any violent or other illegal activity against the four members of the Judicial Council is strictly prohibited, or else they will similarly face an immediate death penalty.]

[It is emphasized again, the above are all the death penalty mechanisms targeting members of the Judicial Council in this game.]

The emphasis on the death penalty mechanism in the game rules made Jiang He a little surprised.

In 'King's Judgment,' Ding Wenqiang's death was precisely because the imitator who designed the game deliberately hid the rule that 'when justice drops to zero, the death penalty judgment will be triggered'.

The hidden death rule, like a Damocles sword hanging over all players' heads in a judgment game, forces them to endure a moral interrogation with every decision made.

But this game was different, as the rule was explicitly written out, meaning it could be 100% confirmed that there were no other death penalties in this game, as this was the most fundamental rule of the Walkway, which no imitator could violate.

From the game rules, as long as they could successfully manufacture 10 'Fertility Badges,' not trigger the 'Barbarian Invasion,' and refrain from any violent or illegal actions, they were certain to survive the game.

So now the only question was the difficulty of manufacturing the Fertility Badges.

[Please direct your attention to the two 'Fertility Torture Devices' in the room; they are the mechanisms used to manufacture 'Fertility Badges'.]

[Refer to the rule signage next to the devices for details on usage fees and device data.]

[Besides the two Fertility Torture Devices in the initial area, there will also be Fertility Torture Devices in each Judgement Room.]

[Once players enter the Judgement Room, they cannot turn back and can only pass through all Judgement Rooms one way before they return to the current initial area.]

[Only the Fertility Torture Devices in the initial area have unlimited uses.]

[Using Device 1, there is a chance to obtain a 'Male Badge'.]

[Using Device 2, there is a chance to obtain a 'Female Badge'.]

[Once both a 'Male Badge' and a 'Female Badge' are collected, they will automatically combine into a 'Fertility Badge'.]

[You can confirm the current number of 'Fertility Funds' and the specific quantity of the three types of badges through the ubiquitous data signboards.]
