Yang Yuting also didn't want to meet with Lu Xinyi. After all, everyone knew that although this girl looked sweet, she was actually very cunning; no one knew when they might get schemed against.
"Let's go Dutch?" Yang Yuting suggested.
Lu Xinyi smiled and pressed 'I'll pay': "No worries, I like pretty girls, so I'll cover it."
Yang Yuting had no choice but to press 'You pay'.
"Looks like the people from Community 17 discussed strategies from the start? It's best not to say a word when meeting me?"
Lu Xinyi observed Yang Yuting's expression with great interest.
Yang Yuting was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "Not really, we just simply think you're too impressive. Saying the wrong thing could lead to getting deceived, so we take some necessary self-protection measures."
Lu Xinyi spread her hands helplessly: "Alright, alright, it seems there's no way to salvage my credibility.
"But since you acknowledge that I'm smart, would you be willing to listen if I tell you the optimal solution for this game now?"
Yang Yuting was taken aback: "Optimal solution?
"Would you really be so kind? I'm afraid you might have another purpose."
Lu Xinyi smiled: "Of course, I have another purpose, but coincidentally, in this game, our interests align.
"So you can listen to my analysis first. If you think it makes sense, then go for it; if you think it's a scam, then don't believe it. How about that?"
Yang Yuting neither agreed nor disagreed, giving no definite response.
Lu Xinyi didn't mind and just started analyzing by herself.
"By now, I've roughly figured out the mechanics of this game.
"The 'Matchmaking Game', as the name implies, isn't a competition between communities but between male and female players.
"The method to maximize winning visa time is simple, and that is... to exhaust every male player you meet as much as possible."
Yang Yuting sighed: "I knew it, you definitely don't have any good intentions."
Lu Xinyi remained calm: "Think whatever you like, if you want to criticize me with those boring morals, be my guest.
"I'm merely analyzing the optimal solution from the standpoint of the game rules.
"First of all, this game is inherently unfair for male and female players from the start. Male players can gain extra visa time, whereas female players get randomly deducted visa time.
"Even though the deductions are minor, they are still deductions in the end.
"If we were to play strictly within the game rules, male players' benefits would forever exceed ours by 30,000.
"If fairness were the goal, at least this 30,000 in visa time should be balanced; each of us should get 15,000."
Yang Yuting thought for a moment and slightly nodded: "If you had said from the start that the 30,000 should be split, I could understand."
Lu Xinyi leaned forward slightly, staring into her eyes: "My question is, since this is inherently an unfair game, why should I only get a barely fair result after all my efforts?
"Do you think this process itself is fair?
"In other words, this is Walkway's game, a gamble where the results are fixed, and each to their fate. It's inherently an unfair game, so what's wrong with me creating even more unfairness with my skills?"
Yang Yuting fell into silence.
Lu Xinyi continued: "As for what exactly should be done? It's actually very simple.
"You can make a request to each male player from other communities you match with to 'split the 30,000 minutes of visa time'.
"They present you with a voucher for 10,000 or 15,000 minutes as a deposit, while you promise to give each other a 'like' during the last meeting.
"As for exactly how to swindle those vouchers, that depends on your ability.
"If they're easy to deceive, then deceive them. If they're not, then offer a few 'likes' to sweeten the deal. After all, keeping those 'likes' in hand is useless; they eventually need to be used.
"I believe that for a young, beautiful, and graceful girl like you, it should be as simple as eating and drinking as long as you're willing to do it.
"In short, after getting the vouchers, refuse any further meeting invitations from them and continue to look for the next target.
"Until the last meeting, choose the one you're most pleased with and exchange likes.
"Of course, if you're a bit greedy, you could also swindle some more likes along the way.
"Let's assume in the 8-hour game, you can match with a dozen male players, and among them, five or six accept your proposal, that's indeed a solid 60,000 minutes of visa time.
"Plus the final 30,000, you could get a total of 90,000 minutes. That's quite substantial, isn't it?
"Bear in mind that in many survival games, you might not earn this much even while risking your life."
Yang Yuting was a bit shocked: "But wouldn't that lead to social death?"
Lu Xinyi looked at her somewhat resignedly, seemingly mocking her naivety.
"How could it lead to social death?
"First, the ones you're deceiving are from other communities, and after this game, everyone parts ways. Who would pursue you?
"Secondly, in this game, information flows are completely blocked. Even if you promise several male players simultaneously, they cannot verify with each other.
"Finally, even if some of them step onto the stage to condemn you during the exhibition, it doesn't matter.
"Because your promise to them is 'we'll exchange likes during the last meeting', which can't be verified until that last meeting. How can they be sure you've backed out or are just waiting for the last meeting?
"Even if they do get on stage to denounce you, it will soon be voted 'boring' and brushed off. After all, who wants to see a grown man crying and whining on screen?
"That would just make people feel disgusted.
"As for players from your community, what does it matter to them? You maximizing your visa time gains is your ability. If you've established some agreement on shared benefits, they can profit from it too.
"Favoritism exists everywhere. Would they distance themselves from you just because other community male players were deceived?
"Therefore, from the game mechanics, this is our optimal solution for gaining visa time."
Yang Yuting fell into contemplation.
Soon, she raised her head with some doubt and asked: "If this plan is so perfect, why don't you just execute it yourself? Why involve me?"
Lu Xinyi smiled meaningfully: "Isn't it obvious? Of course, it's because the more people executing this strategy, the more and faster everyone profits.
"You might think fewer scammers are less likely to be exposed, but you're wrong. More scammers mean the law can't punish us all.
"With many people executing this strategy, male players won't have a choice: either they give the voucher to me, or to you.
"Otherwise, they can forget about getting the 30,000 reward for exchanging likes at the end.
"When we meet other female players, we can share this concept, making 'male players should give vouchers' a consensus, allowing all female players to benefit from it.
"Moreover, worst-case scenario, even if this game has some targeted punishment mechanism, having only one scammer is dangerous, but having many reduces everyone's risk."
