Ling Yi and Huang Rong returned to the Game Plaza.
When the two tried to choose a game again, they found that the script-based murder mystery game option was grayed out and unavailable.
Ling Yi knew that Game Space had gone to update and upgrade the murder mystery game rooms again.
"Sigh!" Ling Yi sighed.
He simply couldn't understand it. Making a game—forget plagiarism, even if you just made it up yourself, couldn't you create some games?
If Game Space can obviously be copied, why not copy it thoroughly?
So what if it's 100% copied? What's the big deal? Is there anything to be ashamed of?
They copy everything: Canyon of the Rift, PUBG, Escape Room, Live-Action CS. With so many games to choose from, they can just copy whatever they want!
Or does this Game Space require some kind of energy to create new games?
People appear and disappear intermittently in the Game Plaza.
Those who appeared were either cursing or had ugly expressions; those who disappeared either entered the game or returned to their own world.
During this process, Ling Yi also discovered some problems.
While most of these players come from different worlds, some also come from the same world.
For example, Ling Yi saw Nami and Sanji from One Piece, Liu Jianming and Chan Wing-yan from Infernal Affairs, and Zhang Mazi and Huang Silang from Let the Bullets Fly.
Although they appeared briefly and then disappeared, it's unclear whether they entered the game room or exited the Game Space, but it proves one thing.
In the same world, it's possible that multiple people have received invitations to the Game Space.
I wonder if anyone else in my world has also received an invitation.
Moreover, Ling Yi had been suspicious of one thing.
Is the world he lives in like other worlds—a world from movies, TV series, anime, or novels?
Well, it's more likely to be a fictional world.
After all, he was a transmigrator, and a transmigrator with cheat codes at that.
Isn't this exactly the setting from the novel?
So far, Ling Yi has not found any player who recognizes him or knows him.
But no matter what kind of world he is, Ling Yi hopes that his world will undergo significant Changes.
Just something ordinary is fine.
When a large number of people with Transcendent powers are born in an ordinary world, it will only bring disaster.
Ling Yi has no ambition, so he won't be affected by power naturally. But what about the others?
" Ling Yi, what are you thinking about? Shall we play Werewolf or Who Is the Undercover?"
"With so many players now, we might not be able to get matched into the same game room," Ling Yi said, shaking his head.
"Oh, right!" Huang Rong exclaimed in realization, but then a look of disappointment crossed her face.
Ling Yi didn't think much of it and laughed, "We can give it a try. If we apply together, the chances of us being matched should be higher."
"Good!"
The two figures quickly disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were already in a familiar room.
The spacious living room features a black Dali tabletop and eight chairs, representing eight different seating areas.
Most importantly, most of them were acquaintances who had played games together before.
Even if we haven't played games together, we're all acquaintances.
For example, Brother Fat - Uncle Ge are both familiar faces, even though they are new faces.
Using the identification numbers, Ling Yi quickly confirmed the identities of Brother Fat and Uncle Ge.
Uncle Ge, ID 101216, the advisor in "Let the Bullets Fly, "Ma Bangde.
Brother Fat, ID 891214, Ko Chun in the movie "God of God of Gamblers ".
The other characters are Duan Yu from Heavenly Dragon and Semi-Devils, Li Weijie from Sheep Without a Shepherd, Ip Man from Ip Man 2, Li Heung-kam from From Beijing with Ling Ling Chat, plus Ling Yi and Huang Rong, making a total of 8 people.
The basic rules of Werewolf have Changes somewhat. For example, a werewolf can kill two people on the first night, but can only kill one person each night thereafter.
Several new rules have been added, mainly explaining how points are earned.
The werewolves win and get 20 points; the good guys win and get 10 points.
If the game ends in the first round, the winning side gets double the points.
[Number of players reached, game begins!]
[Randomizing identity...]
{Player 230922, your role is the werewolf!}
[This is currently the open discussion period, with a 10-minute time limit!]
"I dislike the No. 1 position the most. I have absolutely no idea what to say when I'm the first to speak." Ma Bangde blinked and looked around.
"How about we just play openly?"
Everyone else frowned, but no one spoke first. Ko Chun, in position No. 3, rubbed his hands together and asked, "What about 'open cards'?"
"The purpose of playing this game is to accumulate points. As you can see, the werewolves get 40 points for a win, and the good guys get 80 points."
Ma Bangde was referring to the total score.
"If you play with your cards revealed, the werewolf will Self-Destruct at the start. In the first round, the witch poisoned one werewolf, the other werewolf attacked the hunter, and the hunter then took down the werewolf."
"The game can be finished in one round, not only can you get double points, it's fast and efficient."
"So the werewolf just contributed for nothing?" asked Li Weijie, who was in position No. 8.
"That's impossible!" Ma Bangde shook his head.
"Double points, that's 20 points each for us. Then we each give 5 points to the wolf pack, so the wolf pack still gets 20 points each!"
"This way, the werewolf card can gain a slight advantage, but not by much. What do you guys think?"
Everyone was stunned, including Ling Yi. If the game was played like this, wasn't this just treating the Game Space like a gold mine, blatantly exploiting players to accumulate points?
One can only say, as expected of Ma Bangde, the master strategist, who knows how to scheme and manipulate.
Ling Yi believed that the Game Space would absolutely not allow such cheating to occur.
Ko Chun clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Amazing! If everyone agrees, I have no problem with it. Let's all earn points together!"
"Hehe, right? Who takes games seriously these days? It's too much brainpower and time-consuming!"
But as soon as Ma Bangde finished speaking, a game notification rang in everyone's minds.
Cheating is strictly prohibited. One warning will be issued. If it happens again, the invitation will be revoked, the player's memory will be erased, and their player status Deprivation.
"Alright, never mind, let's get back to playing the game!" Ma Bangde said, shrugging.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Ma Bangde paused for a moment and asked, "Why are you all looking at me? Oh, right, I'm No. 1, I have to start first."
"I'm on the good guys' side, I have a status, so pass!" With that, Ma Bangde tapped the table with his right hand.
This action has clearly become widespread among players.
No. 2 is Duan Yu. He first greeted Ling Yi and Huang Rong.
" Ling Yi, Miss Huang, we meet again."
"Enjoy the game, we can catch up after it's over!" Ling Yi said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Huang Rong merely snorted coldly, clearly not liking Duan Yu.
"Ahem, I'm the Seer, and I'll be randomly checking someone tonight!" With that, Duan Yu tapped the table with his right hand, signaling for the next person.
Ko Chun, in No. 3, glanced at Duan Yu, touched his nose, and said, "Pass!"
Ling Yi is in position 4, Ma Bangde is in position No. 1, and Duan Yu is in position No. 2; they are all telling the truth.
In other words, Duan Yu was indeed a prophet, and Ma Bangde was either a witch or a hunter.
Ko Chun can't just say "pass"? Ling Yi wants to end the game in the first round and get double points.
He's a wolf, so double points is 40 points. He can get 40 points in ten minutes, which is much more efficient than a murder mystery game.
If I keep grinding like this until dawn, I can probably earn a lot of points.
" No. 3, you're not a werewolf, are you? It's not good to not reveal your identity in the first round."
"Why do you care so much?" Ko Chun shook his head.
"No, it's just a suggestion!" Ling Yi smiled and didn't delve into it. Asking too many questions would only damage his identity.
"I'm a good person, I have status, next!"
" No. 2, you jumped to the Seer right from the start? Do you even know how to play?" Huang Rong retorted to Duan Yu.
Duan Yu didn't speak, but simply clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute to Huang Rong, looking ingratiating.
"Hmph, I'm on the good guys side, I have an identity too. If a wolf card tries to kill me tonight, I'll just take No. 2 with me. It's a personal grudge!"
Ling Yi was speechless. Duan Yu had just been playing casually in the game before, and there wasn't anything wrong with him jumping to the Seer role in the first round. How did it become a personal grudge?
Did something else happen between Huang Rong and Duan Yu before?
Huang Rong is No. 5, and to Huang Rong right is number 6 Ip Man.
Compared to before, Ip Man looks to be in much better condition now.
He always wore a confident smile, exuding an even stronger aura of Master, with a touch of sharpness.
I wonder how far Ip Man 2 has strayed from the original world.
"I'm on the good guys' side, No. 3, are you a wolf or not?!" Ip Man asked No. 3.
Ling Yi secretly gave Ip Man a thumbs up.
Although he knew that Ip Man's light stepping Ko Chun was just a test, this test was exactly what Ling Yi needed.
Ko Chun glanced at Ip Man, then at Ling Yi, shook his head, and remained silent.
As a God of Gamblers, he knew very well that the more he said, the more mistakes he made.
Moreover, he didn't know any of the people present. He wasn't afraid of encountering experts, but rather novice ones.
Especially games like lying and psychological warfare.
It's quite possible that a novice could easily make a complete mess of the situation by meddling in things.
Being led astray by God is the worst kind of suffering.
"Alright, next!" Seeing that Ko Chun didn't say anything, number 6 Ip Man any more questions and simply tapped the table.
No. 7 is Li Heung-kam. At this moment, Li Heung-kam... well, how should I put it, has a noticeably more mature charm than the last time I saw her.
I felt like I was glowing!
Could it be that Ling Ling Chat has already made his move? But the plot of the Chinese Ling Ling Chat movie is not very long to begin with.
In addition, Li Heung-kam had previously obtained Binding Immortal Rope, which, although a counterfeit version, was still Transcendent magical artifact.
The villainous commander in the movie is probably already dead.
Li Heung-kam looked at Ling Yi and asked, "Are you a wolf?"
Ling Yi rolled her eyes. "Step on me then!"
"Who told you to be so powerful? Just a light tap. If you were a wolf, give me a hint, and I'd just give up. Next." Li Heung-kam tapped the table.
"On the first night, the Seer should either check player 4 or No. 3. Player 4 is a veteran player, and if he is a werewolf, it would be too dangerous for our good guys," said No. 8, Li Weijie.
He had played a few games with Ling Yi, and Ling Yi's skill left a very deep impression on him.
His current fear is that Ling Yi is a wolf.
" No. 3, Ko Chun, nicknamed the God of Gamblers, is extremely skilled. Let's confirm their identities first."
"I just need to observe a bit more. Those who criticize me basically don't even know their identities properly. Seers, don't waste your verification attempts on me."
"You always have to step on someone. If you don't reveal your own identity or bias, then you're not playing your part well," Li Weijie said, shrugging.
"So, are you a good guy or a wolf?" Ko Chun countered.
"Of course I'm a good person. Who here dares to say they aren't?"
Ma Bangde chuckled slyly, "Exactly! These days, it's hard to tell good people from bad people anymore. Can you even tell them apart?"
Li Weijie shook his head. "No one can tell the difference except for bad people!"
"Sigh!" Ma Bangde shook his head. "Sometimes even bad people can't tell the difference."
