"Hmm?"

Zheng Jie seemed to grasp at a lifeline as he hurriedly moved closer to the large screen to examine it.

Although the talent show was still ongoing, Zheng Jie no longer cared about it at all.

"Lawyer Lin definitely knows what I’m asking about, so this is the answer he’s giving me.

"But... this statement seems to only express that ’players with fewer dislikes have greater safety.’

"It can indeed provide some cooling effect for the current tense atmosphere to a certain extent, but it’s completely useless for solving the problem of me being falsely accused!

"Could it be that Lawyer Lin didn’t understand what I meant? That’s impossible, I was already being so direct!"

Zheng Jie scratched his head anxiously, but he didn’t give up. Instead, he continued analyzing the unreasonable aspects of this statement.

"Why specifically emphasize ‘Dislike’ count less than 5? Why not less than 4, or simply use ‘Like’ count as the standard?

"Hmm... because 5 dislikes can kill someone.

"That means players who clearly don’t have the ability to kill, yet show murderous intent during meetings, don’t exist so far.

"Isn’t this quite normal? If you don’t have 5 dislikes, what are you going to kill?

"Wait, I understand now!

"The ratio isn’t important, what’s important is the method of screening the ratio!

"Bluffing! Even without 5 dislikes, one can still express clear murderous intent, which means using bluffing as a form of self-protection!"

Thinking of this point, Zheng Jie suddenly understood.

He hadn’t quite grasped it originally, but he had previously heard Fu Chen explain some strategies from ’Blood Poker,’ so he naturally thought of the possibility of ’bluffing.’

This was exactly the method Lawyer Lin had used in that game.

And during the last meeting, Zhao Duo’s reaction when she first entered the room further confirmed this point from the side.

Zheng Jie didn’t have 5 ‘Dislikes,’ but the people meeting with him didn’t know that.

Murderous intent might bring hostility and misfortune to oneself, but if used properly, it could also have other uses.

Combined with the meeting before last, and the one before that...

Zhou Guifen, Jiao Hongtao, Xue Qi, these three people’s different reactions after entering the meeting room also gave Zheng Jie sufficient inspiration.

...

Data continued appearing on the large screen.

[Zhang Xiaoxia from Community 9 broadcasts one piece of data to all players.]

[As of the current time, in meeting rooms, the ratio of male players who refused to agree to equally split 30,000 minutes of visa time is: ’85%’.]

[Jiao Hongtao from Community 8 broadcasts one piece of data to all players.]

[Among female players who met with me, the ratio who showed obvious disgust before starting conversation is: ’61%’.]

[Fang Wencong from Community 1 broadcasts one piece of data to all players.]

[As of the current time, in meeting rooms, the ratio of female players actively requesting exchange vouchers from male players is: ’75%’.]

The consecutive broadcast spam startled Zheng Jie.

More and more people were starting to broadcast this data, perhaps out of anger, or to fan the flames, but regardless, this was a very bad phenomenon.

And some of the data among them really shocked Zheng Jie.

For instance, the 75% ratio meant that out of 20 female players, only 5 female players hadn’t actively requested exchange vouchers from male players.

Combined with the two previous pieces of data Fang Wencong had sent, his intended purpose was already crystal clear.

"Strange, Fang Wencong has sent so many messages, hasn’t anyone reported him or tried to murder him?

"The more broadcasts someone sends, the fewer ‘Likes’ and ‘Dislikes’ they have left in their hands. He should be quite unsafe by now.

"Could it be he found a stable meeting partner?

"Someone like him can find one too! Then why can’t I!"

Zheng Jie somewhat doubted his life.

[Qian Li from Community 1 broadcasts one piece of data to all players.]

[As of the current time, the ratio of male players who gave promises to female players but failed to honor them is: ’76%’.]

Seeing this data, Zheng Jie was stunned for a moment.

76%? That high?

Wouldn’t that mean only 5 out of 20 male players were honest?

But thinking again, that wasn’t right, because if it were 15/20, it would be impossible to get exactly 76%.

"I understand now!

"For this ratio data, the denominator isn’t the number of male players, but the number of promises given!

"That means one male player can give many promises but not honor a single one, which would severely inflate this ratio value.

"If calculated per person, it absolutely couldn’t reach this high.

"However, this data is very misleading."

The number 76% was just slightly higher than 75%. If many people couldn’t think through this data anomaly while anxious and panicked, they would completely cancel out the impact of the previous data.

So what if 75% of female players requested exchange vouchers? 76% of male players don’t honor their promises anyway!

Everyone’s about the same, and you’re even 1% higher!

After male and female players respectively saw these two pieces of data, they would still stand on their own positions and reach completely opposite conclusions.

Even worse, communities everywhere were broadcasting data.

To prove their own correctness, to find justification for counterattacks, or to unite with the same gender, players began considering consuming their excess resources for broadcasts, adding fuel to the fire for more revenge killings.

For many male players who had lost their rationality, encouraging other male players with ‘Dislikes’ to actively kill female players through broadcasts could make themselves safer.

The same logic applied to many female players who had lost their rationality.

Unable to communicate with players from the same community, they couldn’t execute any team strategies and could only act like headless flies according to their own ideas.

Often, two players from the same community would do completely opposite things.

[Performer No. 1 has accumulated 14 ’Interesting’ votes, gaining an additional 1 ’Like’.]

[Performer No. 2 has accumulated 16 ’Interesting’ votes, gaining an additional 1 ’Like’.]

Although the like counts of the two talent show performers still hadn’t exceeded 20, compared to before, the probability of mindlessly clicking ’Interesting’ was higher.

The division was still intensifying.

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

[In the first 4 hours, Community 1 player Gao Jialiang chose ’You Pay’ in meeting rooms at a ratio of: ’83%’.]

[In the first 4 hours, after Community 1 player Gao Jialiang chose ’You Pay’ in meeting rooms, the ratio of reaching agreement with the other player was: ’100%’.]

[In the first 4 hours, Community 1 player Fang Wencong pressed the payment button before his counterpart at a ratio of: ’100%’.]

"Hmm? This is from Lawyer Lin, and he sent three at once!

"Does Lawyer Lin still have enough ‘Likes’? Won’t he fall into danger himself?

"But judging from how many likes he received, he should easily find trustworthy matching partners, so he should be safe."

Zheng Jie hurriedly moved closer to the large screen, frowning as he examined it carefully.

Broadcasting three pieces of data at once, there must be some specific implications behind this data.

Although after checking data, each piece could be broadcast for free, Lawyer Lin had most likely screened them.

If he just randomly sent without screening, there would be no way to convey specific information to the outside world.

Zheng Jie guessed that right now, it wasn’t just players from Community 17, but smarter players from other communities, like Lu Xinyi, were probably also waiting for Lawyer Lin to send new broadcasts.

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

Handsome Gao Jialiang had a high probability of pressing the [You Pay] button during meetings? And the other party basically always agreed?

There was nothing strange about that. He might have negotiated with them beforehand.

With such a handsome face, as long as he calmly discussed with his blind date partners, how many women could refuse him?

Women definitely wouldn’t apply the same standards to high-value handsome men as they would 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 moment.

So what if he pressed the payment button before his counterpart? Couldn’t it simply be that he was quick with his hands?

The game didn’t specify that there had to be an order when pressing buttons.

This was all data from the first 4 hours, and it was all about paying room fees. Was this important?

The game version had long since been updated, who still cared about those trivial room fees, just 200 minutes of visa time.

What everyone cared about now should be likes and dislikes!
