The results of this test also hold some reference value for Cai Zhiyuan.

The characteristic of option B is: something you've never heard of, but an option chosen more often by unrelated players in the community.

The characteristic of option C is: conceptually correct but seems to have issues in the details, and it is an option recommended by cunning, conflicting interest inner court players.

Whether to trust the 'Player Representative's' remarks without 100% certainty largely depends on the trust or suspicion among players.

If a player has been deceived more often in other games, they might habitually suspect others, and are more likely to change their original thoughts based on the subtle details of Kong Yuxin's expressions, demeanor, and phrasing.

The fact that community players choose B more doesn't necessarily mean they intentionally mislead the inner court players; it's more likely because the question doesn't involve their own interests, so they simply don't care about answering it seriously.

Some community players might know the correct answer, but others might not necessarily consult each other, nor do they necessarily bother to read the question thoroughly, potentially making a choice just based on first impressions.

After all, the rules only stated that this question would be displayed on the lobby screen, without specifying how other players should submit their answers.

Do they just submit subconsciously based on their first impressions? Or do they have to verbally articulate their answers? Or perhaps they must manually submit their answers at something like a vending machine?

After giving an answer, would they change it as their thoughts evolve?

Moreover, community players might not even know that the question relates to the ongoing game.

These subtle differences affect the community players' attitude toward answering, influencing the final outcome as a result.

As it stands, the responses from unrelated community players appear more like the 'first instinct of players without relevant professional knowledge,' and while it might help rule out an option, it doesn't necessarily serve as a direct reference.

Cai Zhiyuan glanced at the benefits on his console and the three different light effects, which were 'green,' 'green,' and 'gray.'

This should be indicating the specific reward and penalty values for this answer and their connection to hidden rules.

"Judging by the light effects, there are three reward and penalty rules, and I triggered two positive reward rules, securing a benefit of 7000 points.

"The other three might have all been misled and chose option B, or there could be a very small number of other possibilities.

"If that's the case, it means that the five of us in this room are inherently skeptical and not easily trusting of others.

"Kong Yuxin indeed successfully measured this aspect, but it further exacerbated the already fragile mutual trust."

Although Cai Zhiyuan answered the question correctly, it wasn't because he trusted Kong Yuxin, but because he added an extra layer of skepticism.

The five players are all almost certain that others are not gullible, and this will inevitably impact the progress of the subsequent game.

Achieving consensus in answers has become more challenging.

The five minutes of free discussion time soon passed, and the players' facial mechanisms closed again, preventing them from speaking.

The second question appeared on the big screen.

[Chomsky's core claim in linguistics is ()]

[A. Language ability arises from postnatal intensive training]

[B. Humans are innately equipped with a language acquisition mechanism]

[C. Language structure reflects social power relations]

Upon seeing this question, all five players were somewhat surprised and couldn't help but glance at each other.

It was evident that this question was much more excessive than the previous one.

This is a professional question in linguistics. If a player had never heard of Chomsky before and didn't know his specific claims, they could only guess.

Since it's impossible to infer from the literal meaning.

Cai Zhiyuan scanned the other four players, trying to see who the 'Player Representative' for this question would be.

From the first question's situation, these questions seem to have some likelihood of being "traps," meaning each player, when serving as the 'Player Representative,' would encounter a question related to their specialty, giving them a certain advantage in knowledge.

If that's true, then it's even easier to deceive with this question than with the previous one.

The others were quite surprised to find that this round's 'Player Representative' was that handsome guy from Community 1, Gao Jialiang.

Cai Zhiyuan didn't participate in the 'Matchmaking Game' previously, so he had only heard that Gao Jialiang was handsome, but he didn't know what he looked like.

Seeing his face now, he found out that he was indeed very handsome.

It's just a pity that in such a game, one can't truly leverage his good looks.

Cai Zhiyuan fell into contemplation, starting to doubt whether the "one professional question per person" assumption was valid.

Gao Jialiang seemed equally confused and, after a moment of hesitation, spread his hands helplessly and said: "I don't know why I was chosen as the player representative for this question.

"I have never studied linguistics nor have any clue at all.

"I suppose you all don't know the answer either, right?

"Given the circumstances, we might as well pick the same answer; at least the rules clearly state that this could earn us extra benefits.

"We can just test out how much this additional reward amounts to.

"My suggestion is to choose C."

The other players had varied expressions, but they couldn't speak or express any objections.

Three minutes later, the left side of the console displayed the answers from 'unrelated players.'

[A. Language ability arises from postnatal intensive training - 33.9%]

[B. Humans are innately equipped with a language acquisition mechanism - 42.5%]

[C. Language structure reflects social power relations - 23.6%]

Clearly, the unrelated players' answers this time were more dispersed than the previous question, with smaller differences between the three options, making them look as if there was no real reference value at first glance.

For such obscure and irrelevant questions, only a minimal number of players in the community would know the correct answer.

With just 3 minutes, rushing to the library section to check references would be impossible, and unrelated community players simply wouldn't bother to do so.

After some deliberation, Cai Zhiyuan ultimately chose option B.

[The correct answer to this question is: B. Humans are innately equipped with a language acquisition mechanism.]

[The net gain for the five players in this room is: -11000 minutes of visa time.]

[The Questioner will gain a benefit of 11000 minutes of visa time.]

On Cai Zhiyuan's screen, it also displayed the earnings he received from this game: 7000 minutes of visa time.

This time the light effects were still green, green, and gray.

As soon as the facial mechanisms unlocked, Cai Zhiyuan frowned and complained, "What's going on? Even with a question where no one knows the answer, people are unwilling to pick the same option?"

Gao Jialiang was also somewhat helpless, "I don't know either."

Kong Yuxin said quite innocently, "I picked C."

Yang Hui, who hadn't spoken the entire time, remained silent.

Xu Zhao, who was very upset about the previous question, actually found this somewhat amusing: "Alright, alright, everyone's acting is quite decent.

"Gao Jialiang, are you sure you picked C yourself?

"Clearly, these five questions were one professional question per person, and I suspect you're deliberately luring us into picking the wrong option, while you picked the correct one yourself."
