At that time, Chan Ran played quite well, just getting pinched a few times, with the biggest negative impact being that he might have trouble holding a fineliner pen steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this game, it's no longer 'surveillance' but 'Death Surveillance', and the punishment has changed from whipping to a nail gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nail gun was a tool that appeared in the 'King's Judgment', and its power is actually greater than that of a real nail gun. If it hits a vital area, it's almost a sure kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Literally, cell 5 is the most dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for cell 6, it seems somewhat ambiguous in meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering this cell, there are two choices: The first choice is to randomly select a cell from other cells, but it's very possible to pick the dangerous cells 4 or 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second choice is confusing; literally, if the imitator designing this game hasn't suffered a death threat, or if he responds with actions expected by the players in the cell after suffering a death threat, then the players in the cell are safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if the imitator designing this game suffers a death threat and acts contrary to the expectations of the players in the cell, the players will face instant death punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, some might think this cell is absolutely safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the imitator designing the game likely didn't enter this game, and games that pull people in during the night have never appeared before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the imitator hasn't suffered a death threat, this room is absolutely safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did the imitator bother to set such a rule in this room?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he foresee danger, and is he actually like the players present, possibly facing a death threat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this rule is judged by the walkway's mind-reading mechanism, meaning players can't truly know what happened to the imitator designing the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the imitator's actions align with players' expectations depends entirely on the walkway's judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though all walkway's mind-reading judgments have been entirely accurate so far, most players are still unwilling to entrust their fate to such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many issues with this cell, and it's not the optimal choice for most players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After considering all options, cells 1 and 2 are relatively safer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cell 2 is the safest, as it has clear rules explaining it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it offers no gains, and all 'Visa Time from One Week Ago' must be shared with other players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players like Sun De may not have much visa time, but it's something they've painstakingly saved, minute by minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't participate in the last game, so he didn't gain anything, and during this week, there was inevitable consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, if Sun De enters this cell, he will definitely incur debt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The natural visa time consumption over a week is about 10,000 minutes, so this '50,000 minutes' figure actually provides ample tolerance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if players spent lavishly during this week, there shouldn't be a 50,000-minute gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for players like Sun De, this is still hard to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, players like him can't ensure stable gains in future games, nor can they guarantee that other players in the community will help them cover these debts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for Sun De, cell 1 is a better choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This resembles the mechanism in the 'King's Judgment', with the only difference being that the reward has increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original game, pushing one round could only gain 10-minute visa time; now, each round gives 1,000-minute visa time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game time is set at 15 minutes, and if estimating roughly at 30 seconds per round, 30 rounds would net 30,000 minutes of visa time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For players like Sun De, this is attractive enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiao from Community 15 sneered: \"At a time like this, you're still thinking about earning visa time; can't you tell which is more important, money or life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun De wasn't angry, just corrected him: \"In the walkway, money is life, and life is money; there's no essential difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, I'm having the 'Hermit' verify it with the lantern, aren't I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a clearly written rule, so as long as the 'Hermit' finds no danger, there's definitely none.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiao looked at Cai Zhiyuan: \"The rules also say that only the Hermit knows the verification result; he can completely deceive you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are six cells in total, and the 'Hermit' cannot confirm if he is indeed the 'Special Privilege Player', so he most likely has to choose a cell to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as he deceives others into entering a dangerous cell, he can choose to enter a relatively safe cell himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure you want to trust him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun De didn't answer but pointed to cell 5: \"According to your logic, you can go straight into cell 5; everyone should have no objections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiao was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun De looked at Cai Zhiyuan again: \"No matter what, you helped me in the 'Wealthy Dynasty'; I trust you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Zhiyuan looked at Sun De, remaining silent for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said: \"In the 'Wealthy Dynasty', I actually didn't intend to help you. I just needed to help you 'Departure' to complete the strategy and layout.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun De nodded: \"I understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, we were strangers from opposing communities; it's normal not to trust me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as far as the result is concerned, you definitely helped me; without you, I might still be stuck in Community 4, possibly having been cannon fodder in some game by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the walkway, expecting sincerity from other players is unrealistic; judge deeds, not intentions. As long as their actions genuinely help me, I should be grateful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiao rubbed his chin, making a 'tsk-tsk-tsk' sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I underestimated you; turns out you're all crafty like old foxes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Zhiyuan glanced at Song Xiao: \"You seem genuinely unafraid to die; don't forget, I have the power to force any player into any cell and can verify the threat level of any cell for any player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you keep stirring things up, I don't mind sending you on your way first by choosing the most dangerous cell for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiao wisely opted for silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun De stood in front of cell 1, Cai Zhiyuan raised the lantern in his hand, and pressed a button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lantern emitted a slight tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tremor could only be felt by Cai Zhiyuan himself and was very subtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that it would be very safe for Sun De to enter cell 1.\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-06-09T04:22:33.919Z",1,"novelbin.me","b54a5adb46cb4642cf01db06c69e8507b280bcb081f2f5f121d0804d0432b547","god-s-imitator-chapter-489","god-s-imitator-chapter-487",597,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgod-s-imitator-cover.jpg"]
