National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

6: Chapter 006 Locking Blood! The Second Hidden Equipment of the Flower Fairy!Camille secured!

Shen Mo’s hands moved at lightning speed, tossing one chess piece after another onto the board!

Two-star Kalista, two-star Rakan...

Almost instantly, everyone noticed the changes Shen Mo had made!

As Rakan entered the fray, the six-Faerie Synergy was instantly completed. At the same time, a piece of equipment shimmering with green light descended from the heavens and landed on Shen Mo’s bench!

[Queen’s Guard’s Armor]!

The second piece of equipment after completing the six-Faerie Synergy!

”Wha... What is that?! The competitor from the Dragon Kingdom seems to have obtained a piece of equipment, and it looks like something I’ve never seen before!”

”Could he have triggered some mechanism? A hidden mechanism?”

”No! I recall that there seems to be a combination of two chess pieces that can trigger the hidden ’Crown’ equipment. Could this be the second hidden equipment to be triggered?”

”Is this the foundation of the Dragon Kingdom?... To think they’re only bringing it out now!”

The internet instantly erupted!

Netizens within the Dragon Kingdom were invigorated, their eyes lighting up!

”Good! I knew this Shen Mo wasn’t simple! He has his own ideas. After all, although the dozen or so competitors before him lost, their thought processes were very clear; it was just that the path they took was problematic.”

”Now it’s different! Shen Mo has actually researched a new hidden piece of equipment!”

”Maybe he can turn the tide of the battle!”

”Yeah, yeah! This new hidden piece of equipment looks really strong! I’m already starting to look forward to it!”

”Hahaha, good lad! To think he was hiding such a move! Not bad!”

Old Man Li laughed heartily, his aged face wrinkling up like a chrysanthemum. It was an unexpected surprise, especially given the current situation; any incredible change Shen Mo made could be a turning point in the battle!

Zhang Zhiwei, who was in charge of strategic operations, saw his expression improve significantly. He spoke softly: ”Hmm... not bad. It seems that during this year of preparation, it wasn’t just us studying the Gods Arena; the competitors themselves have also summarized quite a few things.”

”However...”

”Why has this Shen Mo been losing his previous battles?”

”Could the trigger conditions for this hidden equipment be very harsh? Must one lose first to obtain it?”

Everyone in the conference room nodded slightly. Clearly, they somewhat agreed with Zhang Zhiwei’s theory. When you think about it, it makes sense; how could hidden equipment be obtained so easily?

”Baka! So what if there’s a hidden piece of equipment! The Dragon Kingdom really hasn’t seen the world!”

”And so what if there’s a hidden piece of equipment? The Empire of Sakura’s dual-Frost killer formation is invincible!”

”The hidden killing move of my Sakura Country has a strength that cannot be compensated for by a single piece of equipment!”

Netizens from Sakura Country clamored!

They were completely unconvinced!

What kind of bullsh*t Shen Mo is this? He’s acting all high and mighty just because of one piece of equipment?

Submit to my Empire of Sakura!

”Hidden equipment...” On the arena, Kamigawa frowned, suddenly feeling a sense of unease. The attributes of the equipment could not be viewed, but he could still see the indifference in Shen Mo’s calm expression.

It was a kind of absolute confidence in his own strength.

An indifference that only the strong possess!

Stage: 4-6, match begins!

Sakura Country vs. Frost Country!

Dragon Kingdom vs. Xiongya Country!

Kamigawa glanced at the lineup of the small country opposite him with disdain, then immediately switched his perspective to Shen Mo’s battlefield... He wanted to see if this Dragon Kingdom kid could defy the heavens and change his fate with just one piece of equipment!

On the other side.

Shen Mo naturally didn’t know that his casual lineup change had actually caused so much speculation.

If he knew, he’d probably laugh out loud!

Come on! It’s just a piece of equipment, a Synergy item... is there any need to make such a fuss?

[Queen’s Guard’s Armor]: Health +150, Healing and Shielding increased by 35%, Healing conversion rate increased by 15%!

Although this equipment fits a front-liner like Rakan very well, if you really talk about its strength, it’s actually just average.

Shen Mo didn’t even consider that this equipment would provide any major boost to the entire team.

As a front-liner, Rakan had Warmogs Armor + Dragon’s Claw + Queen’s Guard’s Armor; with these three tank items stacked together.

Ordinary carries wouldn’t even be able to scratch him, okay!

As for why he gave Rakan Dragon’s Claw instead of Bramble Vest...

Shen Mo shrugged, indicating: Isn’t there an idiot on the other side using Cassiopeia as a carry!

So, the core of this team doesn’t lie here at all!

8-population six-Faerie Synergy! Shen Mo’s current lineup is as follows: Lillia + Seraphine + Katarina + Tristana + Hecarim + Rakan + Kalista + Camille!

Nothing much to say; just playing casually this round.

A simple 6-Faerie Synergy, plus 3 Mowar to ensure Kalista’s attack frequency, and finally Hecarim and Lillia forming 2 Bastion to supplement the front-line tankiness to a certain extent.

It’s not that Shen Mo was underestimating the enemy.

It’s just that if you’re playing 5 Frost against 6 Faerie, you should at least look at the equipment!

The two-star Rakan in the front row with three full items is incredibly tanky!

In the back row, Kalista with double guinsoos rageblade; the 5 Frost front line only has one Swain, isn’t that just a pure target dummy?

As for that two-star Cassiopeia...?

Heh, try killing my Rakan first!

Oh right, Lillia from the 2 Bastion Synergy is also carrying ’Redemption’ and is standing right next to Rakan.

The competitor from Xiongya Country has entered!

Mordekaiser + Swain + Shen + Shyvana + Galio + Nilah + Rumble + Nunu!

The same 8-population lineup!

Shen Mo was actually a bit surprised. I have to say... these people from Xiongya Country look big and burly, but their lineup is actually quite creative! 3 Heavy Armor + 2 Bastion + 2 Shapeshifter!

The only main carry should be Nilah, with one Infinity Edge + one Bloodthirster + one Statikk Shiv!

Not bad.

Modebite was big and burly, and his gaze towards Shen Mo was full of disdain!

”Dragon Kingdom, nothing more than this!”

He was the guy who had brutally crushed Shen Mo at the start with a 2-star Ashe. Facing Shen Mo again this time, although the opponent had changed his formation, in his view, it was useless. No one could beat his ’Iron-Blooded Legion’!

Of course, the name ’Iron-Blooded Legion’ was one he had made up himself.

As the time bar reset!

On the battlefield, the match officially began!

The earth began to tremble, and the clashing of metal emitted a sharp screech as Mordekaiser, wielding a giant hammer, struck directly towards the opposite side!

Airwaves surged!

Shyvana let out a roar that shook the air, transforming into a giant dragon and pouncing forward!

Petals scattered. Rakan, dressed in Faerie attire, stood at the very front. Clad in three perfect items, he forcefully blocked the opponent’s explosive attack. Blood splattered, and spears shot out, piercing into the opponent’s bodies!

It took only the blink of an eye!

Those spears that had rapidly swept through the opponent’s chess pieces turned into feathers filling the sky, like jade beads pouring down that connected into threads. Only blurred afterimages invisible to the naked eye connected them to each other.

One could only barely hear the ’swish, swish, swish’ sound of breaking wind!

Too fast!

Kalista’s attacks were too fast!

In the eyes of all the viewers who couldn’t comprehend it, the chests of the enemies, already pierced by countless arrows, suddenly exploded. Countless bright, thin threads flashed instantly, like the threads in a puppeteer’s hands, ultimately connecting to Kalista’s hands!

Rend!

Bang!!!

Amidst the muffled sound, blood stained the ground red. Mordekaiser and Shyvana let out a wail, and their health bars were wiped clean instantly!

Dust and smoke rose everywhere!

In just an instant, the entire battlefield trembled!

The ground was covered in dense spears, and the bloody marks of the Rend crisscrossed, turning into a blood-stained painting!

However! This still hadn’t ended!

In the blink of an eye, more arrows rained down on Nilah and Nunu; those without equipment melted instantly!

Health bar disappearance magic!

True health bar disappearance magic!

At this moment, the livestream room suddenly fell silent!

Kamigawa stared blankly at the scene before him. A second ago, he was still pondering what the function of the ’hidden equipment’ worn by Rakan in the front row was, but before he could even see clearly... the battle had ended!

”So fast... what happened?”

Modebite was dumbfounded.

He muttered to himself, seemingly unable to believe everything before his eyes, until a laser shot towards him, knocking off a large chunk of his health, at which point he suddenly snapped back to reality!

[4-6, match ended!]

[Dragon Kingdom, Shen Mo wins!]

[Rankings changed!]

[First place: Kamigawa, HP: 88 points!]

[Second place: Talon, HP: 65 points!]

[...]

[Seventh place: Shen Mo, HP: 38 points!]

[Eighth place: Modebite, HP: 37 points!]

The referee’s cold voice announced the result.

Shen Mo looked at the pale-faced Modebite and offered a sincere smile: ”Sorry, I’ve locked my HP.”
