God's Imitator

Chapter 125: The Imitator's Goodwill


The compensation of an employee, to a certain extent, indeed represents his ability, so the more employees and the higher their compensation, the more reported data there is.

High-salary employees are more capable, so they report more data, which seems reasonable.

But often, high-salary employees are not necessarily strong; they could also be parasites of the company.

For example, some companies thrive after laying off all their executives.

Many low-salary employees may not lack ability, but simply because they are not in certain positions, they have no stage to show their talent.

In the game, the data pop-up is a blatant distraction.

According to the game rules, if there is one employee with a monthly salary of 7000 and seven employees with a monthly salary of 1000, the latter actually contributes much more to the probability of data pop-ups than the former.

Because although the amounts are the same, the number of people is significantly more.

But the data pop-up will only appear for the employee with the 7000 salary.

This actually represents how, in reality, small supervisors steal the credit of junior employees.

And the fourth rule actually represents the employee training mechanism in real life.

As long as the low-salary employees are given some time (3 turns) and space (no high-salary employees taking up positions in the company), they can perform almost as well as high-salary employees.

Of course, these rules are hidden from the players and are not easy to guess.

But hypothetically, if an average worker were to choose instinctively, they would likely lay off high-salary employees out of disdain for those small supervisors and hire a lot of low-salary employees, finding the optimal solution instinctively.

Conversely, someone like Xu Tong, a professional in human resource management, despite having vague suspicions, ultimately fails to figure it out because of too many mixed professional theories, struggling against herself.

If she proposed a solution to lay off high-salary employees and recruit low-salary employees to full capacity, Su Xiuqin would immediately agree with that plan, and their judgment task could be completed in one go.

Cai Zhiyuan continued: "Of course, this also means there is indeed a loophole in the game, or a 'perfect solution.'

"Xu Tong, you once asked: Can we lay off all employees and then recruit them back in a later turn?

"From a god's perspective, it is entirely possible. You could call it a loophole or a backdoor; it can indeed be played this way, and it can significantly reduce the game's difficulty.

"However.

"The only question is, after laying the employees off, are you really willing to recruit them back?

"Clearly, from the perspective of the Imitator who designed this game, if you are indeed willing to recruit them back, exploiting this loophole may not be out of the question."

This question stumped Xu Tong.

Indeed, this is an obvious rule loophole or backdoor, but not everyone can use it.

At least Xu Tong and Tian Fan cannot use it.

After laying off all the employees, each turn can save at least thirty to forty thousand minutes of visa time, which is a huge temptation.

If it has been decided to lay off all of them, it must mean that the company's funds are tight and they are prepared not to collect any data.

In this situation, recruiting back employees has no apparent benefit.

The only reason would be out of conscience and social responsibility.

If a player, upon entering the game, laid off all employees and then chose the right time to recruit them back, even to full capacity, they could maximize their benefits.

But clearly, not knowing the rules, very few players can make such a choice.

Everyone fell silent.

It is clear that after carefully analyzing the game rules, they reached a somewhat despairing conclusion.

Jiang He concluded: "So... 'Wealth Game' as a judgment game is not harsh at all, it's even somewhat overly lenient.

"This game provides plenty of hints and backdoors, but players still inevitably step into some traps...

"No wonder Walkway's evaluation of it is not high, only B-Class..."

To spare Li Renshu's feelings, she did not continue.

But everyone present understood what the rest was.

Li Renshu, Xu Tong challenging the rules in vain, might even be less effective than having someone else play by intuition.

Of course, Community 17 found the correct solution in the end, while Community 8's Tian Fan's performance in this game was even worse.

As a business elite, he thought he made the best possible decisions with each step, but it turned out his solutions were wrong.

Yang Yuting was a bit puzzled: "Why? Why is this judgment game so lenient?

"Isn't it strange? What exactly is the Imitator who designed this game trying to achieve?"

Cao Haichuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Who says that judgment games must not be lenient?

"The Imitator who designed the 'Wealth Game' might be trying to show us another possibility: the Imitator can find ways to spare players from overly harsh and unreasonable judgments.

"To only bear punishments matching their crimes.

"Of course, this behavior may not be advocated by Walkway, but it is viable within the rules.

"From the replay, 'Wealth Game' and 'King's Judgment' are like two sides of a coin, completely opposite.

"As judgment games, they both have multiple ways to clear.

"But 'King's Judgment' targeted Uncle Ding's character traits and completely blocked all paths.

"While 'Wealth Game' was exactly the opposite, allowing the two being judged to help each other, striving for as many survival opportunities as possible.

"It's just that... some players might inevitably disappoint the designer's goodwill."

Jiang He was somewhat confused: "But, why doesn't the Imitator try to make the hints more explicit?"

Cao Haichuan looked at her a bit helplessly: "Although we don't currently know the specific mechanism by which Walkway selects games and Imitators, judging by the existence of 'game ratings,' not just any proposal by the Imitator can gain Walkway's favor.

"When selecting Sinners, Walkway doesn't seem to care whether their crimes really deserve death.

"Wang Yongxin, Cai Zhiyuan, Uncle Ding, Aunt Su, whose crimes reach the level of capital punishment legally? But Walkway clearly encourages the Imitator to kill them.

"I guess, overly simple and lenient games won't receive Walkway's approval.

"Only games that Walkway believes have a certain mortality rate will be prioritized for selection.

"For Imitators, making the game too simple may lead to Walkway rejecting it, allowing other more brutal games to be selected.

"Even if they genuinely want to save people, they can only do so to this extent at most.

"As for whether players can take advantage once inside the game... it's up to them."

Li Renshu, who was always composed, had an obviously disappointed expression at this moment.

She silently sighed, stood up: "Let's conclude today's replay here; I need some time to think about it."
