National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

17: Chapter 017 Your magic is ineffective against me!Stage 3-2!

7 Magic Warriors, 2 Pyro, 2 Bastion formed!

2-star Jax + 2-star Ashe + 2-star Kassadin (three core items) + 2-star Akali + 2-star Shen + 1-star Hecarim!

Strength maxed out!

The countdown for the Gods Arena ended, and Shen Mo faced off against Persia’s Karin!

He glanced at the opponent’s lineup... [2-star Ashe + 2-star Lillia + 2-star Nilah + Hecarim + Shyvana + Olaf]!

3 Eldritch, 2 Shapeshifter... Not bad, but they’re all target practice; the game is basically over.

...

On the other side, Persia’s Karin was in despair!

Small countries like theirs were simply no match for the powerful nations. Being able to barely scrape together 3 Eldritch was already their limit; after all, they had so little margin for error that they didn’t dare to mess around.

But this 3 Eldritch thing... it might even flop during the early game transition, let alone the late game.

This caused Persia’s points to constantly fluctuate.

As of this match, Persia’s national destiny points had just hit 0!

Karin’s own personal points were a pitiful 2. If she were eliminated in 6th place, her national destiny points would instantly turn negative!

”Nilah, Nilah, you have to be strong! Please, I beg you, let heaven look favorably upon Persia!”

Karin prayed to the heavens and closed her eyes in despair. She didn’t dare look at the matchup on the chessboard anymore!

10 seconds later.

[Stage 3-2 match ended!]

[Persia wins!]

[Rankings changed!]

[1st place: Dragon Country, Shen Mo, HP: 76!]

[...]

[4th place: Persia, Karin, HP: 55!]

Karin was stunned: ???

Wait!

I defeated the powerful Dragon Country!

How is this possible?!

In the previous rounds, although Karin hadn’t faced Shen Mo, she had watched with her own eyes as he mercilessly crushed one opponent after another. How could Shen Mo have lost when it was her turn?

Could God have really manifested?

Karin looked hesitant.

She didn’t know what God liked, so should she buy something to show her sincerity?

[Dragon Country, contestant Shen Mo is requesting a call...]

Shen Mo is looking for her?

Karin was taken aback, but didn’t think too much about it and directly accepted the call request!

The next second, Shen Mo’s virtual avatar appeared beside Karin.

Karin: ”Contestant Shen Mo...”

Shen Mo: ”!@#!@#￥%... (⊙_⊙)?”

Karin: ”???”

Shen Mo: ”%￥￥!@#￥%!... (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻”

Karin: ”...”

No, big brother... You requested the call, but you won’t pay the points to enable barrier-free communication?

This is just like going to a hotel room with a girl.

You propose the request to get a room, and the girl agrees...

Now you have to pay the room fee, but you say you have no money?

Are you kidding me!

...

Little did she know... Shen Mo was in a tough spot right now too!

”Big brother referee, please make an exception, it’s just one point! Just turn on the barrier-free communication for me!”

”If that doesn’t work, can you charge interest?”

”If I win this match, deduct 2 points from me! I won’t have any complaints!”

[This game does not allow credit; please do not waste your breath.] The referee’s cold voice rang out. He didn’t want to deal with Shen Mo at all. What kind of nonsense is asking for credit? Doesn’t the Gods Arena Bronze Referee have any dignity?

Shen Mo: ”...”

Well, miscalculation!

So opening barrier-free communication actually costs points!

He even missed Kamigawa a little; although that guy spoke Dragon Country language stutteringly, at least it was understandable!

As for what Persian was, Shen Mo truly didn’t have that skill!

”Contestant Shen Mo, do you need something from me?”

Karin’s timid voice rang out in the channel. To Shen Mo, this was the sound of heaven!

Shen Mo’s eyes lit up!

So sensible, girl!

Shen Mo hurriedly spoke: ”Uh... Karin, right! Do you want to win points? I can help you!”

Time was tight.

Shen Mo went straight to the point, which left Karin stunned. What did he mean?

Help me win the match?

”Yes, help you win the match! Don’t just stand there, you’ll lose in a moment. Just give me a straight answer whether you agree or not!”

The pace of the golden spatula match was quite fast.

Shen Mo couldn’t keep waiting for Karin to consider; he needed to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

Karin hesitated for two seconds, but couldn’t resist the temptation of the points: ”Then, what do I need to pay?”

”Nothing at all!”

”You just need to listen to me! Buy whichever unit I tell you to!”

”Like this... #￥#@... Did you understand?”

”After reaching level 8 and getting all the units, you don’t need to go out of your way to chase 2-stars. Of course, you can if you want, that’s up to you. The only requirement is that you use this lineup I give you, and you are not allowed to change it! Don’t touch a single unit!”

Karin pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said: ”Okay!”

...

The communication cut off, and Shen Mo let out a long sigh of relief.

Tool number 1, Karin, secured!

The lineup he gave Karin was very simple, consisting of: Ashe + Elise + Syndra + Nilah + Vex + Mordekaiser + Nami + Briar, an 8-population team forming a 7 Eldritch, 2 Shapeshifter lineup. The main carry was still Nilah!

The only difficulty was rolling for the 5-cost unit Briar at level 8, but that wasn’t a big problem; the probability wasn’t low if she rolled enough times.

In addition, Shen Mo also gave Karin a task!

That was, when rolling for cards at level 8, if she saw Kalista, she must pick her up!

Place her on her bench!

Those two idiots from Sakura Country and South Korea, did they think he didn’t know what they were trying to do?

Copying his 6 Faerie from the last match, right!

A 2-star Kalista is the main carry! With dual guinsoos rageblade, it certainly posed a certain threat to Shen Mo... Of course, normally, a 6 Faerie couldn’t possibly stop a fully formed 7 Magic Warriors!

After all, you have Kalista, and I have Mowar too!

Moreover, under the Mowar bonus, Kalista has a 70% chance to trigger a double attack, and attacks can restore 3% HP! With guinsoos rageblade stacked up, what could a Faerie Kalista use to fight against Mowar?

However, just in case, Shen Mo decided to keep an ace up his sleeve.

If these two guys were desperate and one of them really gave up to assemble a 3-star Kalista, he would definitely be in trouble.

Shen Mo didn’t want to gamble on luck; securing these 148 national destiny points steadily was the true way to go!

...

Time passed second by second!

South Korea’s Kim Soo-jun and Sakura Country’s Yotsuki Kami, their expressions didn’t look too good at the moment!

Stage 3-6!

”Kim Soo-jun! I rolled Kalista!” Yotsuki Kami’s spirits suddenly lifted!

Without time to think too much, Yotsuki Kami hurriedly put Kalista on the field, and at the same time threw the two prepared guinsoos rageblade onto Kalista! The preparation phase of the Gods Arena ended!

Yotsuki Kami looked at his matched opponent, and his face suddenly stiffened.

Sakura Country vs. Dragon Country!

The moment the lineup refreshed, Yotsuki Kami felt his vision go dark!

The surprise of just rolling Kalista vanished without a trace.

3-star! Kassadin!

”Your magic... is ineffective against me!”

At this moment, a hoarse voice rang out from the void!
