Wei Yinzhang's words were not difficult to understand.

Because "Owl" Lin Sizhi's performance in the game was strong enough, he certainly wasn't a marginal figure in his original community, and with Wei Yinzhang joining, he had a very reliable ally.

The philosophy of a community often depends on the strong members within it.

Compared to Community 6, which leans more towards elitism, Wei Yinzhang judged that the community Lin Sizhi belonged to was more likely to be ideologically aligned with him.

Moreover, under the same circumstances of revealing the Imitator's identity, Community 17 was also safer than Community 6.

Because Lin Sizhi was strong enough.

It's like in the animal kingdom: the stronger the beast, the more stable its temperament.

After listening to Wei Yinzhang's introduction, everyone was amazed.

Wei Yinzhang's joining of Community 17 was clearly the result of a combination of factors, but from the results, it was undoubtedly a win-win situation.

Of course, in the long run, whether the Imitator's joining would have unforeseen influences on the current ecology and power structure of Community 17 remained uncertain.

Li Renshu continued, "Tell us more about the process of obtaining the Imitator identity and the specific invitation mechanism of the Walkway, we're completely in the dark about these and have only been guessing."

Wei Yinzhang nodded, "Alright, I'll start from the beginning then.

"Unlike other players, before entering the New World, I was given a test to 'obtain the Imitator identity' in the initial space. The test content was to design a game to judge criminals.

"This should be the batch of games everyone saw at the start after entering the community.

"Since it was an initial test, the actual passing standards were quite low, and they were all solo games. Looking at the specific rules of this batch of games, you should also notice this common point.

"The person I encountered to be judged was a gambling addict who had lost everything and caused his parents to work themselves to death.

"I didn't think too much at the time, and time was limited, so I designed a relatively simple game called 'Lead Dice.'

Immediately, everyone found the specific game rules of 'Lead Dice' on the big screen.

Wang Yongxin was somewhat surprised, "It turned out to be rated A, just like 'Fool's Judgment?' So you have two A-rated games, that's impressive."

Wei Yinzhang waved his hand, "No, actually, the content of the 'Lead Dice' game is very simple, and I've always thought its rating is somewhat inflated.

"If I had to say, 'Lead Dice' is probably the lowest in the A-rating? Whereas 'Fool's Game' should be among the higher ones in the A-rating, I think.

"The rules are roughly like this:

"The player is restrained and can only move their hands.

"In front of them is an axe and a lead dice.

"The dice has six faces: 'arm,' 'leg,' 'chest,' 'abdomen,' and two 'no injury.'

"Rolling the lead dice three times grants freedom.

"If, after rolling, the face showing is a body part, the player must use the axe to cut at least a 3 cm deep wound on the corresponding body part, but there's only one chance.

"If it's cut too shallow, the roll is invalid.

"Accumulating 2 invalid rolls triggers instant death punishment.

"If it rolls 'no injury,' no cutting is needed.

"The rules also state that this is a special lead dice, so the probabilities of each face are not the same. The more times it's rolled, the higher the probability of rolling 'no injury.'

"Or he can choose not to play the dice, and directly cut off a joint of his little finger with the axe, which also counts as passing."

Cai Zhiyuan thought for a moment, then said, "Let me guess, there should be a word trap in here.

"It only said the probabilities of the lead dice faces are different, and the more times it's rolled, the higher the probability of 'no injury.' But it didn't say the initial probability for each face.

"So actually, although this six-sided dice has two 'no injury' faces, which looks like a one-third probability at first glance, in reality, it's much lower."

Wei Yinzhang nodded, "Yes, the actual setup is that each 'no injury' face on the lead dice has a 5% probability, adding up to 10%. Each roll increases the probability by 1%.

"How did you guess so quickly?"

Cai Zhiyuan gave a helpless shrug, "It's nothing, after all, I've seen a lot of games, seeing these rules, the first thing that comes to mind is a word trap.

"After all, other Imitators have used such methods before.

"But if it's a player who just arrived in the New World, who hasn't seen these patterns, they're likely to fall into the trap."

"So what happened to the criminal in the end?"

Wei Yinzhang spread his hands, "He died."

Everyone was stunned, "What?"

Wei Yinzhang seemed a bit helpless, "Speaking of this, I also find it a bit speechless.

"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't intend to kill him.

"Although I really despise gambling addicts, to be honest, I didn't think he deserved death.

"My initial thought was simple: let him wake up on his own, stop gambling, just grit his teeth and cut off a joint of his little finger with the axe, that was the simplest way to pass.

"As a gambling addict, he should be very clear on what 'Lead Dice' means, I clearly told him this was not a fair game.

"If he's stubborn and wants to gamble on the probability of 'no injury,' then each gamble incurs punishment."

"Of course, even if he doesn't cut off a piece of his little finger, he could choose to use the axe to cut three wounds of at least 3 cm on himself, that would also end the game."

Wang Yongxin thought for a moment, "If it's just three wounds, although deep, it shouldn't be fatal.

"He could use his clothes to stop the bleeding simply, then when he reached the community, use the initial visa time to buy a medical kit for bandaging. Other players in the community could also offer some help.

"But this also depends on his specific physique and decisiveness.

"If the judged sinner is relatively fat, then cutting a 3 cm wound on the thigh, abdomen or chest should not be too difficult.

"But if he's thin, it's more troublesome, since there's only one chance, so he needs to have a heavier hand.

"He likely didn't cut deep enough twice in accumulation, so he suffered the instant death penalty?"

Wei Yinzhang nodded, "Yes.

"Originally, I added the rule 'failing to cut deep enough twice triggers instant death punishment' to create some urgency.

"If players could cut as deep as they want, or could cut many times in a row, it would lead to the game lacking urgency, possibly failing to make him aware.

"Having it trigger on the second time allowed for some forgiveness.

"But what I didn't expect was that after the game ended, I entered the game arena and found him already dead.

"I was quite scared at the time.

"Later, I mustered the courage to check his wounds and understood what specifically happened.

"He was relatively plump.

"From the wounds on his body, it seemed he had rolled the dice a total of four times.

"The wound depth on the abdomen wasn't enough, but the ones on the thigh and chest were adequate.

"I guess he rolled the abdomen first but, not prepared mentally the first time with the axe, didn't cut deep enough, resulting in an insufficient depth, which violated once and wasn't counted.

"Then the depths of the next two on the thigh and chest were adequate.

"The last time, he probably rolled the arm, and due to less flesh on the arm, the axe hit the bone, preventing the wound from reaching 3 cm, which was the second violation, triggering the instant death penalty."
