God's imitator

Chapter 89 More Data

"Ok?"

Zheng Jie, as if grasping at a lifeline, hurriedly moved closer to the big screen to take a closer look.

Although the draft is still underway, Zheng Jie is no longer interested.

"Attorney Lin definitely knew what I was asking, so this is the answer he gave me."

"However... this rule seems to simply mean that 'players with fewer dislikes are safer.'"

"It can indeed help to cool down the current tense atmosphere to some extent, but it does nothing to solve the problem of me being falsely accused!"
"Didn't Attorney Lin understand what I meant? Impossible! I've already made it so clear!"

Zheng Jie scratched his head in frustration, but he didn't give up. Instead, he continued to analyze the irrationality of the statement.

Why emphasize that the number of "dislikes" should be less than 5? Why not less than 4, or simply use the number of "likes" as the standard?

"Hmm... because five stomps can kill someone."

"In other words, there are no players who, despite lacking the ability to kill, have shown murderous intent during meetings so far."

"Isn't this normal? If you don't have 5 people stepping on you, how can you kill anyone?"
"Wait, I understand!"

"The proportion is not important; what matters is the method of selecting the proportion!"

"Boo! Even without 5 slaps, you can still show a clear intention to kill, which is to protect yourself by bluffing!"

Realizing this, Zheng Jie suddenly understood.

He didn't quite understand it at first, but he had heard Fu Chen talk about some of the ideas in "Blood Poker" before, so it was natural for him to think of the possibility of "bluffing".

This is exactly the method that Attorney Lin used in that game.

The reaction of Zhao Duo when she first entered the room during their last meeting further confirmed this point.

Zheng Jie didn't have 5 "downvotes," but the people he met didn't know that.

The intention to kill may bring hostility and misfortune, but if used properly, it may also have other uses.

And then consider the meetings before that, and before that...

The different reactions of Zhou Guifen, Jiao Hongtao, and Xue Qi after entering the meeting room also gave Zheng Jie a lot of inspiration.

……

Data continued to appear on the large screen.

[Zhang Xiaoxia from Community 9 broadcast a data message to all players.]

As of now, in the meeting room, the percentage of male players who have not agreed to share the 3 minutes of visa time is: '85%'.

[Jiao Hongtao from Community 8 broadcast a data message to all players.]

Among the female players I met, the percentage who showed obvious dislike before even starting a conversation was 61%.

[Fang Wencong from Community 1 broadcasts a data message to all players.]

As of now, in the meeting room, the percentage of female players who proactively request exchange coupons from male players is 75%.

The continuous stream of broadcast messages startled Zheng Jie.

More and more people are starting to share this data, perhaps out of anger or to stir up trouble, but in any case, it's a terrible phenomenon.

Some of the data did indeed startle Zheng Jie.

For example, the 75% figure means that out of 20 female players, only 5 female players did not actively ask male players for vouchers.

Combining the two data points Fang Wencong posted earlier, his intended purpose is now quite clear.

"Strange, Fang Wencong sent so many messages, but no one reported him or tried to murder him?"

"The more broadcasts someone makes, the fewer 'likes' and 'dislikes' they have, so they're probably not very safe anymore."

"Could it be that he has found a reliable partner for regular meetings?"
"If someone like him can be found, then why can't I!"

Zheng Jie was starting to have doubts about life.

[Qian Li from Community 1 broadcasts a data point to all players.] [As of now, the percentage of male players who made promises to female players but failed to keep them is: 76%.]

Zheng Jie was stunned when he saw this data.

76%? Is that high?
Doesn't that mean only 5 out of 20 male gamers are honest?
But then I thought about it again and realized that wasn't right, because if it were 15/20, it would be impossible for the figure to be 76%.

"I understand!
"The denominator in this ratio is not the number of male players, but the number of those who made commitments!"
"In other words, if a male player makes many promises but never keeps them, then the percentage will be significantly inflated."

"If we count by the number of people, it definitely wouldn't reach that high."

"However, this data is very misleading."

The figure of 76% is just a little over 75%. If many people are too anxious to think about this anomaly in the data, it will completely offset the impact of the previous data.

So what if 75% of female players request redemption coupons? But 76% of male players are just making empty promises and not fulfilling them!

We're all about the same, but you have 1% more!
After seeing these two sets of data, male and female players will still draw completely opposite conclusions based on their respective perspectives.

To make matters worse, every community is releasing data.

In order to prove themselves right, to justify their retaliation, or to unite their fellow sex, players began to consider using their surplus resources to broadcast messages, thus fueling more vendettas.

For many male players who have lost their temper, encouraging other male players who have "stepped" on female players via broadcast can make them safer.

The same principle applies to many female gamers who lose their minds.

Without communication among players in the community, they are unable to execute any team strategies and can only act blindly according to their own ideas.

In many cases, two players from the same community will do completely opposite things.

Performer #1 received a total of 14 "Interesting" comments and an extra "Like".

Performer #2 received a total of 16 "Interesting" comments and an extra "Like".

Although the two talent show performers still didn't get more than 20 likes, they were more likely to be mindlessly clicked "funny" compared to before.

The polarization is intensifying.

[Lin Sizhi from Community 17 broadcasts three data points to all players.]

[In the first four hours, the percentage of players from Community 1, Gao Jialiang, who chose "You Pay" in the meeting room was 83%.]

[In the first four hours, after player Gao Jialiang from Community 1 chose "You Pay" in the meeting room, the agreed-upon percentage with another player was "100%".]

[In the first four hours, the percentage of times that Fang Wencong, a player from Community 1, pressed the payment button before the other player after entering the meeting room was '100%'.]

"Huh? It was Lawyer Lin who sent it, and why did he send three at once!"
"Is Attorney Lin's praise enough? Won't he put himself in danger?"

"However, judging from the number of likes he received, he should be able to easily find a trustworthy match, so it should be safe."

Zheng Jie quickly moved closer to the big screen, frowning as he watched carefully.

The fact that three data points were broadcast at once suggests that there must be some specific meaning behind them.

Although each piece of data could be broadcast for free after reviewing it, Attorney Lin mostly screened it.

If information is sent out indiscriminately without screening, it will be impossible to convey specific messages to the outside world.

Zheng Jie guessed that it wasn't just players from Community 17 who were waiting for Lawyer Lin to make a new announcement; other smarter players from other communities, such as Lu Xinyi, were also likely waiting for him to make a new announcement.

But... what exactly do these three broadcasts mean?

Is it highly likely that handsome Gao Jialiang will press the "You Pay" button during meetings? And the other party almost always agrees?
That's not surprising, he probably already negotiated with the other party.

With such a handsome face, if he calmly discusses things with his blind date, how many women could refuse him?

Women certainly won't apply the same standards to handsome men as they do to ordinary men.

Although Fang Wencong's data seemed a bit strange at first glance, Zheng Jie couldn't figure out what was wrong with it for the time being.

So what if he pressed the payment button before the other person? Can't it just be that he was faster?
The game doesn't specify which button to press first or last.

These are all data from the first 4 hours, and they are all about room fee payments. Is that important?
The game version has been updated a long time ago, so who cares about those trivial room fees and 200 minutes of visa processing time?

Right now, what everyone cares about is likes and dislikes!
