"Hmm?"

Zheng Jie clung to it like a lifeline and quickly moved closer to the large screen to inspect it.

Although the draft was still ongoing, he couldn't care less.

"Lawyer Lin surely knows what I'm asking, so this must be his answer to me.

"But... this just seems to say that players with fewer 'rejections' are safer.

"It could indeed help ease the current tense atmosphere to some extent, but it doesn't help solve the problem of my false accusation at all!

"Could it be that Lawyer Lin didn't understand what I meant? That's impossible; I was very straightforward!"

Zheng Jie scratched his head anxiously, but he didn't give up. Instead, he continued to analyze the unreasonable points in this statement.

"Why emphasize having fewer than 5 'rejections'? Why not less than 4 or simply use 'approvals' as the criteria?

"Hmm... because 5 rejections can kill.

"Which means, there hasn't been a player that shows murderous intent during the meeting without having the ability to kill.

"Isn't that normal? How can you kill someone without 5 rejections?

"Wait, I get it!

"The ratio isn't important; it's the method of filtering the ratio that matters!

"Bluffing! Even without 5 rejections, you can show clear murderous intent, which is a way to protect yourself through bluffing!"

Realizing this, Zheng Jie suddenly felt enlightened.

Although he didn't quite understand it initially, he'd previously heard Fu Chen talk about some strategies from 'Blood Poker', so it was natural for him to think of the possibility of 'bluffing'.

This was precisely a method Lawyer Lin had used in that game.

Moreover, the reaction Zhao Duo had when entering the room last time further confirmed this from another angle.

Zheng Jie didn't have 5 'rejections', but the people meeting with him didn't know that.

The intent to kill might bring hostility and misfortune but, if used appropriately, could serve other purposes as well.

Combining this with past meetings... the reactions of Zhou Guifen, Jiao Hongtao, and Xue Qi when they entered the meeting room gave Zheng Jie enough inspiration.

...

The data was still appearing consecutively on the big screen.

[Community 9's Zhang Xiaoxia broadcast a piece of data to all players.]

[As of now, the proportion of male players in the meeting room who haven't agreed to split the 30,000-minute visa time evenly is: '85%'.]

[Community 8's Jiao Hongtao broadcast a piece of data to all players.]

[Among the female players meeting with me, the proportion who showed obvious disgust before speaking is: '61%'.]

[Community 1's Fang Wencong broadcast a piece of data to all players.]

[As of now, the proportion of female players in the meeting room who actively requested coupons from male players is: '75%'.]

The series of broadcasts startled Zheng Jie.

More and more people began posting these data, perhaps out of anger or to fuel the fire, but either way, it was not a good sign.

Some of the data indeed shocked Zheng Jie.

For example, the 75% proportion means that out of 20 female players, only 5 did not actively request coupons from male players.

Combining this with the two pieces of data posted by Fang Wencong previously, the intended message was already very clear.

"Strange, how can Fang Wencong send so many messages without being reported or killed?

"The more broadcasts someone sends, the fewer 'approvals' and 'rejections' they have, meaning he should be less safe.

"Could it be that he's found a stable meeting partner?

"How can someone like him find one, but I can't?"

Zheng Jie started to question himself.

[Community 1's Qian Li broadcast a piece of data to all players.]

[As of now, the proportion of male players making promises to female players without fulfilling them is: '76%'.]

Seeing this data, Zheng Jie was stunned for a moment.

76%? Is it that high?

Doesn't that mean that among 20 male players, only 5 are honest?

But then he thought again and realized that's not right because if it's 15/20, 76% wouldn't be the number.

"I get it!

"The denominator isn't the number of male players but the number of promises made!

"In other words, a male player can make many promises but fulfill none, severely inflating this ratio.

"Counting per head, the percentage wouldn't be this high.

"However, this data is indeed misleading."

The 76% number is just slightly higher than 75%. If many people, in their anxiety, fail to notice the anomaly in this data, it would completely offset the impact of the previous data.

So what if 75% of female players requested coupons? 76% of male players are making empty promises!

Both sides are equally flawed; you're just 1% worse!

Male and female players, upon seeing these two pieces of data, would still reach completely opposite conclusions from their respective standpoints.

Even worse, every community is broadcasting data.

To prove they're right, to justify retaliation, or to unite with their gender, players are considering using their extra resources to broadcast, stirring up more enmity.

For many irrational male players, encouraging others with 'rejections' to kill female players through broadcasts could make themselves feel safer.

For many irrational female players, the same logic applies.

Since players from the same community can't communicate with each other, they can't execute any team strategies and can only act according to their whims, like headless flies.

Often, two players from the same community would do entirely opposite things.

[Performer #1 has received a total of 14 'Interesting' and gets an extra 'approval'.]

[Performer #2 has received a total of 16 'Interesting' and gets an extra 'approval'.]

Although the 'approvals' for both performers haven't exceeded 20, compared to before, the chance of being mindlessly marked as 'Interesting' has increased.

The polarization is intensifying.

[Community 17's Lin Sizhi broadcast three pieces of data to all players.]

[In the first 4 hours, the proportion of Community 1's Gao Jialiang choosing 'you pay' in the meeting room was: '83%'.]

[In the first 4 hours, the proportion of Community 1's Gao Jialiang reaching an agreement with another player after choosing 'you pay' in the meeting room was: '100%'.]

[In the first 4 hours, the proportion of Community 1's Fang Wencong pressing the payment button before the other party upon entering the meeting room was: '100%'.]

"Hmm? It's from Lawyer Lin, and why did he send three at once!

"Does Lawyer Lin still have enough 'approvals'? Isn't he putting himself in danger?

"But given his many approvals, he should easily find a reliable match, so he should be safe."

Zheng Jie hurriedly approached the big screen, frowning as he carefully watched.

Broadcasting three pieces of data at once surely implies some specific meanings behind them.

Though each piece of data can be freely broadcast after being reviewed, Lawyer Lin probably filtered them thoroughly.

If unfiltered, the message wouldn't be communicated to the outside world.

Zheng Jie speculated that it's not just Community 17's players waiting for Lawyer Lin's new broadcast, but probably smart players from other communities, like Lu Xinyi, were too.

But... what exactly are these three broadcasts about?

The probability of handsome Gao Jialiang pressing the 'you pay' button during meetings is quite high? And the counterpart mostly agrees?

That's not surprising. He might have negotiated with the other party.

With such a handsome face, if he calmly negotiates with a dating partner, how many women can refuse him?

Women, when facing good-looking men, certainly won't apply the same standard as they would on ordinary men.

Fang Wencong's data seemed odd at first glance, but Zheng Jie couldn't pinpoint what's wrong.

So what if he pressed the payment button faster than the other party? Couldn't it just be quick reflexes?

The game doesn't mandate who should press the button first.

These data points all relate to the payment of room fees in the first 4 hours; does it matter?

The game version has long since updated; who cares about trivial room fees of 200 minutes of visa time.

Now everyone cares about the approvals and rejections!
