Currently, the players suspected of being the Imitators in this game are three: "Rabbit," "Owl," and "Plum Deer."

"Rabbit" not only obtained the identity of the "Wise One" but also successfully organized a small group mainly consisting of "Wise Players," which indeed seems like an Imitator leaving a back door for themselves.

After all, many people have studied the rules and realized that to seize the final prize pool, Contract Coupons must be distributed, and only Wise Players can create these Contract Coupons, so the leader of Wise Players is the most suspect.

Meanwhile, players like "Owl" and "Plum Deer," who are clearly very smart, somehow hold the Fool's Card Set and mingle among the "Foolish Players," quickly forming small groups, which also looks suspicious.

But clearly, using this method to determine the Imitator is not very reliable behavior.

The visa time deducted due to these wrong accusations has been gladly accepted by the game's Imitator.

...

After waiting for a while, Lin Sizhi, "Owl," saw a player wearing the "Rabbit" mask walking toward him.

At this time, the other Wise Players involved in the plan had already spread out to try to buy off the Foolish Players in the hall who had not yet joined small groups.

"Plum Deer" and "Owl" manage the two largest Foolish Player groups in the game, each controlling around 10 Foolish Players.

Of course, these two groups must be personally tackled by the core personnel among the Wise Players, "Sheep" and "Rabbit."

"Hello, 'Owl.'"

"Would you like to talk privately?" "Rabbit" Han Mengying asked.

Lin Sizhi looked at the player in front of him wearing the "Rabbit" mask and shook his head slightly: "You can say whatever you need to right here, there's no need to be so secretive."

It was obvious that this "Rabbit" player preferred engaging in some probing tactics.

If Lin Sizhi went to talk with her privately, it might make the Foolish Players in the group harbor suspicions, wondering if the "Owl" had secretly sold them out.

This probing right from the start carried a hint of hostility, a style that reminded Lin Sizhi of some players he had encountered before.

"Rabbit" did not insist and continued, "Before cooperating, I want to confirm your card set. Are you a Wise Player or a Foolish Player?

"To show my sincerity, I'll go first. I have the Wise Man Card Set."

"Rabbit" displayed her card set, where three "Wise Man" cards were clearly visible.

This game does not allow card accumulation or trading, so holding the card set is enough to confirm one's identity.

"Owl" also displayed his card set, showing three "Fool" cards clearly.

"Rabbit" was a bit surprised, not expecting a player like "Owl" to possess only the Fool's Card Set.

But thinking about it, it made sense. The strategy "Owl" used was effective against "overthinking" Wise Players like her, yielding an average winning rate against other players - not losing much, but also not gaining much.

In any case, since "Owl" has the Fool's Card Set, it means he cannot create Contract Coupons, which reassured "Rabbit" Han Mengying quite a bit.

She continued, "Since you hold the Fool's Card Set, we have a very good basis for cooperation.

"Clearly, in the 'Guess the Number' game, Foolish Players cannot become the final winners; the best choice is to exit at the right time.

"Because only Wise Players can create Contract Coupons, and Contract Coupons represent a strong binding benefit relationship, which is the most reliable among strangers.

"Wise Players must use Contract Coupons to bind as many players as possible to evenly split the final prize pool, ensuring they can win out in the final five-person vote.

"Foolish Players cannot achieve this.

"So, this game has now turned into one where 'Fools and Wise Players bargain, selling their Fool Cards at the highest price possible.'

"Gathering so many Foolish players in advance should also be to sell at a good price at this moment, right?"

Lin Sizhi didn't mind some of "Rabbit"'s choice of words; he frankly said, "You guessed it, so how much are you willing to offer?"

"Rabbit" took out a stack of "Contract Coupons": "From the current situation, the final prize pool's amount will exceed a million.

"We've elected 'Hummingbird' as the final winner within our Wise Players, so each of her Contract Coupons is worth at least 10,000 minutes of visa time.

"Considering 'Hummingbird's original visa time, this number would be a bit more.

"I'm willing to offer each Foolish Player in your group two of 'Hummingbird's coupons, worth more than 20,000 in visa time.

"In addition, we're willing to subsidize each Foolish Player with 5,000 chips, allowing you to quickly clear your debts and avoid accruing more debt in the 'Guess the Number' activity.

"Counting in your original chips and the chips earned from continuing to play the game, this is enough to ensure that every Foolish Player gains one to two million minutes of visa time in this game."

Many Foolish Players were listening and couldn't help but look over. Though the masks concealed them, their positive interest was obvious.

Clearly, these players mostly didn't bother with such complex strategies, and embracing any opportunity to clear their debts as early as possible was the best option.

Because with each round of 'Guess the Number,' the debt multiplies, and the situation becomes increasingly precarious.

If they fail to clear their debt by the game's end and incur the penalty of 'double deduction of visa time,' they'd be utterly doomed.

After all, this is an 'Elimination Game,' with a risk of death. Safely exiting and earning one to two million minutes' worth of visa time is entirely acceptable for the average player.

But "Owl" shook his head slightly. "If you're going to negotiate like this, then please leave, and send someone with more clarity.

"Rabbit" Han Mengying was slightly taken aback. She actually anticipated the other party would haggle, as she had deliberately started with a lower price to lower the other's expectations.

Yet she didn't expect such a straightforward dismissal.

"Then how much do you want?"

"Owl" glanced around at the situation: "You can't possibly think that issuing 50 or 60 Contract Coupons will suffice, can you?

"That's impossible.

"At least, the minimum needs to be 90 coupons to have any chance of being the final winner.

"Because even if you don't issue them, there will be other Wise Players willing to issue theirs.

"If there is a Wise Player willing to issue their 100 coupons, then no matter which group they rely on, everyone would forcefully elevate them to be the final winner.

"Based on proportional calculations, our group needs at least 35 coupons. Any number below this isn't worth your breath."
