Chapter 513 Witnesses and Possibilities
Wei Yinzhang paused slightly before continuing:
"First of all, the players you selected for the game don't have any advantage in terms of physical strength. In the 'Farmer's Walk' segment, Cai Zhiyuan can basically decide whether or not to take the advantageous identity of 'Hermit'."
"Secondly, you did not actually set Cai Zhiyuan as a 'super privilege player'."
"In other words, Cai Zhiyuan can remain safe and sound as long as he doesn't enter any cell."
"Finally, even if Cai Zhiyuan chooses to enter the cell, the overall survival rate for these six cells is not low."
"Cell 1 is 'running around frantically' and Cell 3 is 'standing by' and are relatively safe, while the first option in Cell 6 is not necessarily a death sentence."
"Even in Cell No. 2, where 'all the money has been spent,' as long as Cai Zhiyuan doesn't launch any 'special games' targeting you, he'll be safe in this cell. He just needs to 'spend money,' which means distributing his millions of earnings as a copycat to all the players."
Zheng Jie frowned deeply: "...But Brother Cai still resolutely chose the only path to death?"
Wei Yinzhang nodded: "This game is just as its name suggests:
"A true hermit can survive in this game."
"If Cai Zhiyuan believes that the 'King's Trial' was merely a self-defense act forced upon him by the corridor, and if he still considers himself to be that mediocre programmer, then he might enter Cell No. 1 with a clear conscience and bear the same punishment again."
"This cell represents 'never forgetting our original aspirations,' and it is absolutely safe."
“If Tsai Chih-yuan does not launch the ‘special game’ against Attorney Lin, that is, if he believes that the conflict between the two can still be reconciled, then he will retain his visa time and either enter cell number 2 to ‘spend all his money’ or enter cell number 6 to ‘return to fate’ to ensure absolute safety.”
"The fact that cell number 3 'stood by and did nothing' actually has another possibility:"
"After he enters the 'Hermit', he can designate Huang Ming or Fu Yujun to take over the identity and hand over the decision-making power to them."
"Cai Zhiyuan can explicitly state that he does not want to replicate Cell No. 2's 'Spending a Thousand Pieces of Gold' and Cell No. 4's 'Questions That Pierce the Heart,' and let Huang Ming or Fu Yujun decide on the other cells themselves."
"By giving the decision-making power to someone else, he has a greater chance of survival."
Wei Yinzhang paused slightly before continuing, "This also fits the 'recluse' persona that Cai Zhiyuan has always presented."
He always emphasized that he was a "recluse" and a "strategist," only giving advice and not making decisions. He could accept whatever decision the person making the final decision made.
"If this is true, his survival rate is actually higher."
"But it's clear that he's just pretending to be indifferent to everything, but in reality, he doesn't accept that things are out of his control."
What he meant by "acceptable" was that he would find someone else to make the final decision.
"Of course, it's impossible to truly 'stand idly by'."
Yang Yuting said in a low voice, "So, Attorney Lin, that's why you gave the 'Super Player' privilege to Fu Yujun? Because you knew that Cai Zhiyuan would ultimately not trust Fu Yujun."
"'Farmer's Walk,' 'Super-Authorized Player,' and the arrangement of the prison cell—you calculated every single decision Cai Zhiyuan made?"
Lin Sizhi shook her head and explained, "I didn't specifically calculate Cai Zhiyuan's decision."
"I simply arranged different outcomes for different possibilities."
"In this game, I selected six different players for him, who were also the 'witnesses' of the six games."
"These players are not all his enemies."
"Cui Yifeng and Song Xiao were the most hostile towards him, while Gao Jialiang was slightly hostile towards him, but not seriously."
"Sun De had directly received favors from Cai Zhiyuan, Huang Ming was a kind-hearted player and also had a certain fondness for Cai Zhiyuan, while Fu Yujun's relationship with Cai Zhiyuan was not only naturally close, but also had the potential to develop further:"
"It depends on whether Cai Zhiyuan tells Fu Yujun the truth—the truth about him sending Fu Chen away from the arcade. "Cai Zhiyuan is not alone in this game. If he can trust the other players, whether it is Sun De, Huang Ming or Fu Yujun, it may lead to a different ending."
"These three people all have different, trustworthy reasons."
Lee In-sook added with a touch of emotion, "But he didn't choose any of them."
Wei Yinzhang was somewhat surprised: "Attorney Lin, do you mean...?"
"Theoretically, Cai Zhiyuan has a very, very small chance of using this game to leave the arcade and return to the real world?"
"Among the three people who were close to Cai Zhiyuan, Sun De seemed to be very respectful to Cai Zhiyuan, but in reality he valued his own interests extremely much; Huang Ming was an impeccable good person in terms of morality, but he had no reason to sacrifice himself to send Cai Zhiyuan away."
"There is only a tiny, slight possibility that Fu Yujun could use the privileges of a 'super-privileged player' to send Cai Zhiyuan back to reality: because of Fu Chen."
"If Fu Yujun knew that it was Cai Zhiyuan who sent Fu Chen back to reality, then as Fu Chen's father, he might choose to return the favor."
"Of course, this possibility is extremely low. Fu Yujun and Fu Chen are completely different people."
"But... even if it's slim, it still exists."
"However, at the same time, you have also planted a trap in Fu Yujun's identity: as a 'super privilege player,' he will bear additional risks in the game."
"If Cai Zhiyuan doesn't handle his relationship well, he will also be punished by Fu Yujun."
"Just like when Huang Ming entered cell number 4 and asked him the 'heart-piercing questions,' Fu Yujun did not hold back and asked the corresponding questions in a businesslike manner."
Lin Sizhi nodded: "Theoretically, there is indeed a possibility that 'Fu Yujun will send Cai Zhiyuan back to reality,' although I myself cannot imagine the specific scenario that would occur, but..."
"Copycats should not presuppose the upper limit of players' abilities in the game."
"If Cai Zhiyuan can really find a way to do this and get Fu Yujun to willingly use his 'super player privileges' to send him back to the real world, I will be completely convinced."
"As a copycat offender and the rule-maker of the trial, I should leave this possibility for him."
"Moreover, now that Fu Yujun has become a super-privileged player, he is most likely to make rational choices. He will not abuse his authority to kill innocent people, nor will he interfere with the final outcome of my match with Cai Zhiyuan."
Lin Sizhi paused for a moment, then continued, "Cai Zhiyuan's final fate in this game depends on who he believes himself to be."
"If you consider yourself a 'hermit,' a working programmer, an ordinary corporate slave, or a strategist who maintains the community, then you have many ways to survive."
"Only when he is an ambitious man who controls everything will it lead to a fatal and dangerous end."
"Actually, we have a lot in common."
"For example, we all have strong initiative and don't care about our own life or death."
"For us, sticking to our beliefs is far more important than survival."
"So these two 'special games' actually have nothing to do with game strategy, but ultimately depend on 'what kind of person we think the other party is'."
Wei Yinzhang said, "Cai Zhiyuan's choice of cell number 6 does not mean he is giving in to fate, but rather that he wants to challenge the predetermined fate."
"Because only the second option in cell number 6 is entirely up to him."
"He didn't think Attorney Lin would fire six shots at him."
