God's Imitator-Chapter 441: Spectator Room

The game rules prohibited spectators from speaking in the room, and even if they spoke, they wouldn't be heard.

Because the masks themselves had voice-changing functions and also had silencing functions.

When entering the spectator room, players could collect some hand cards at the entrance with simple 'expression + text' on them, which could be used to express specific attitudes.

Among the more prominent hand cards were 'Vote,' 'Agree,' and 'Disagree.' Besides these, there were some other contents expressing emotions or attitudes, but they were all rather vague and couldn't facilitate in-depth communication.

According to the previous agreement in the community, 'The Emperor,' 'The Fool,' and 'The Hermit' could all potentially be players from the same community.

But Lin Sizhi didn't immediately search for them.

Because currently, only about six or seven players had entered the spectator room, which was about one-third of the 'Upright' camp, and moreover, players from Community 17 might very well have been assigned to the 'Reversed' camp.

If he appeared too eager to search for specific appearances at the start, it might be noticed by certain people who could then set traps to exploit this.

Lin Sizhi just casually found a seat and then looked toward the various screens.

The entire spectator room had about a dozen screens distributed in different positions, which spectators could freely choose to watch.

The screens would display whether there were special rules in the room.

Additionally, below each screen was a special button with a small speaker icon drawn on it. Pressing it could initiate a vote, and as long as more than half the spectators agreed, the sound from that room could be broadcast.

However, the game rules also stated that spectators could only listen to the sound from one room at a time, and if the 'Sage' and 'Thief' in the room unanimously agreed, they could also block the sound from the room so spectators couldn't hear it.

The other players, like Lin Sizhi, didn't immediately communicate with each other directly, but politely maintained a certain distance.

After a moment, Lin Sizhi stood up and came to one of the screens. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Below the screen was the information '↓Justice VS ↑The Magician.'

Below other screens were similar displays, representing information about the opposing sides, specifically reversed 'Justice' playing 'Sage' and upright 'The Magician' playing Thief.

Lin Sizhi pressed the button below the screen to initiate a vote.

Soon, other players raised their 'Agree' hand cards, and the sound from this game room came through clearly.

"The Fool is the starting point of everything, symbolizing infinite possibilities; while The Chariot is the seventh station on the journey, representing the ability to control opposing forces through willpower and achieve phased victories.

"Therefore, I guess that the Wealth Vouchers in this 'Chariot' are more than 'The Fool.'"

Lin Sizhi returned to his seat, and the other spectators also looked toward this screen.

Many spectators actually didn't know which match they should watch. After all, the game had just started and everyone wasn't very familiar with the rules. The specific preparation process of those 'Sage' players couldn't be seen, and after directly entering the battle phase, many spectators were somewhat at a loss.

Without any special reason, as long as any spectator chose a room to broadcast sound, other spectators would agree.

Soon, all the spectators' attention was focused on this room.

'↑The Magician' divined while perfectly cutting away large amounts of Wealth Vouchers from his opponent. This one-sided situation surprised many spectators.

However, for the spectators, this wasn't bad news.

Because the spectators in this room were all from the 'Upright' camp, which meant they belonged to the same camp as this '↑The Magician.'

Although they didn't know which specific community he belonged to, at least he could add one more win for the current Upright camp.

What concerned everyone more was how exactly this was done.

Could it be that this game really had hidden rules? Could one really confirm the Wealth Voucher values in the wooden boxes through spirituality and divination?

Getting all 7 size guesses correct at the start absolutely couldn't be explained by probability.

These spectators would soon leave the spectator room and personally participate in the game. If they couldn't figure this out, whether as 'Sage' or 'Thief,' they might fall into a huge disadvantage.

What if there were players similar to '↑The Magician' in the 'Reversed' camp as well? That would be troublesome.

Players in other rooms were also playing games, and some had brought large amounts of Wealth Vouchers.

But the situation in this room was the most one-sided.

Although because '↓Justice' carried relatively few Wealth Vouchers, '↑The Magician's' actual income wasn't very high, it still left quite a deep impression on the spectators.

Soon, the game ended.

Corresponding notification messages appeared in the spectator room and in each player's rest room.

[Upright Camp Wins: 4]

[Reversed Camp Wins: 3]

No other information was displayed besides this.

From the rules, each individual player's harvested Wealth Vouchers and the total Wealth Vouchers harvested by the community would also be recorded, but wouldn't be directly shown to all players.

The spectators each stood up. Some took one last look at each other, while others directly returned to their rest rooms.

...

The next round of the game was about to begin, but He Xiaojun still hadn't figured out exactly what went wrong.

"Why exactly... completely incomprehensible...

"If it really is special information that only players who understand tarot cards can see, I'm afraid it's too late to figure it out now, right?

"The urgent task is to think about what to do to minimize losses the next time I'm 'Sage' in a game.

"Looking at the rules, I can only consider the 'Sage's Special Rules'!

"As the Sage, I can think of a rule myself and negotiate with the Thief to play with this new rule, replacing the second strategy.

"If the Thief doesn't agree, they can only use the first strategy, which is selecting 10 boxes to take away.

"That way, if I place Wealth Vouchers of varying but not drastically different values in the 22 boxes, no matter how they take them, I won't lose too badly.

"But the problem is... what kind of rule should I think of? This rule must be within the framework of this game, appear fair and feasible, and cannot have obvious loopholes.

"Otherwise, once a loophole is caught, I might lose even worse..."

After the first game ended, players only had two or three minutes to count Wealth Vouchers and exit, then immediately had to start the next round, so time was quite tight.

Fortunately, He Xiaojun's identity this time was 'Thief,' so during the 5 minutes before the second round officially started when the opposing 'Sage' was setting up the field, he still had some time to think.

Soon, the second round officially began.

The 'Thief's Door' opened with a bang.

He Xiaojun still hadn't thought of a particularly good strategy and could only proceed with the game first.

However, compared to serving as 'Sage,' serving as 'Thief' had much less psychological pressure.

Because he could choose the first strategy, mindlessly selecting 10 boxes from the 22 wooden boxes. No matter what, he could still get some Wealth Vouchers and wouldn't lose too badly.

Entering the room, the one playing 'Sage' this time was the upright 'The Emperor.'
