National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

34: Chapter 34 Genius? That’s merely the threshold to meeting him!”Shen Mo’s lineup is just ridiculous. Anyone who goes in gets carried out in a few seconds.”

”I suddenly understand how Sharu feels. He’s probably regretting his life choices right now. Even though he lost to Persia, at least he knew how he lost. Now against Shen Mo, he doesn’t even know how he’s losing.”

”It’s like getting locked in a dark room, beaten to a pulp, and then thrown out black and blue.”

”Hahaha! That’s a very fitting description!”

...

In a corner of the spectator stands.

Chris frowned. ”What kind of lineup does that guy Shen Mo have? I just calculated the time—21 seconds. In that amount of time, no one should be able to defeat Kassadin so quickly, right?”

Behind him, the tall, thin man was also lost in thought.

”Could another country be secretly helping the Dragon Nation? A country friendly with them? Giant Bear?”

”Probably not...”

The tall, thin man shook his head. ”Giant Bear does have a good relationship with the Dragon Nation, but if they wanted to bypass our USA and secretly dispatch experts from the Second District into the Dragon Nation, they would definitely be discovered—unless they want to make enemies of the entire world!”

The tall, thin man had that confidence.

The USA’s current technological strength was a foundation accumulated from the previous Gods Arenas!

The defense and surveillance of their technology tree had long reached sci-fi levels.

For the Dragon Nation to make a move right under their noses was nothing short of a pipe dream!

”Then why...”

Chris wanted to say more, but the tall, thin man spoke solemnly, ”Why couldn’t it be Shen Mo’s own strength? I can’t see through this guy, but he gives me a familiar feeling... It’s been eleven years.”

”Has a second person appeared in the Dragon Nation...”

Chris hesitated. ”What second person? What are you talking about?”

The tall, thin man pulled his thoughts back and snorted with some disdain. ”Chris, you really need to brush up on the history of the Gods Arena. You do have some talent, and based on your current performance, you barely meet the Club’s requirements.”

”But compared to that person back then, your talent isn’t even worth mentioning!”

Chris was somewhat unconvinced. ”The Club’s requirements are too harsh. It requires a 15-game winning streak in a single match to qualify for the second-stage assessment, and a 30-game winning streak just to enter the outer circle!”

”I don’t believe you can find anyone with better talent than me!”

Chris was annoyed.

He was a genius-level player from the USA, the secret weapon for this term’s Gods Arena. Although he was only sixteen years old, his IQ test score was as high as 145, and even the White House said he was the future hope of the USA.

The guy in front of him... actually dared to talk to him like that!

Chris was a bit angry, but he suppressed his rage.

There was no other reason.

In the twelve years since the Gods Arena descended, the USA had finished in the top ten for eleven consecutive years. The foundation and talent they had accumulated had reached a terrifying level.

Among these people, there were countless ’monster’ level individuals.

They could no longer participate in the matches, but the USA government didn’t want to give up on them. Thus, an organization called the ’Genius Club’ came into being. If Chris wanted to join this club, he had to follow the arrangements of the person in front of him.

But these entry assessment conditions were just too harsh!

The qualification test required a winning streak of 15 matches!

To qualify for the outer circle, a winning streak of 30 matches was required!

As for officially joining the ’Genius Club’... Chris didn’t know the assessment content yet, but anyone could guess that since the first two conditions were already so abnormal, the official assessment would definitely be even harder!

”When you entered the club, was the assessment this abnormal too?”

Chris looked at the tall, thin man with suspicion in his eyes.

The tall, thin man chuckled and spoke flatly, ”You’re too young. You probably haven’t heard of my name... I’m Charlie, the captain of the USA team in the seventh Gods Arena... My record back then was... a 68-match winning streak.”

Chris’s face changed dramatically!

”A 68-match winning streak?!”

The pupils of Chris, who had always thought highly of himself, dilated!

”Was this a record a human could achieve?!”

”And this guy... with such a terrifying record, was actually just an examiner in the Genius Club?”

”Wasn’t that ridiculous?”

Chris couldn’t help but ask, ”Uh... Charlie, is a genius like you really content with just being an ordinary examiner? Is that club you mentioned really that amazing?”

”Also, you said... you saw the shadow of a second person in the Dragon Nation’s Shen Mo? Is that person very powerful?”

”Compared to you geniuses in the club, who is stronger?”

Chris had many questions. He only knew this guy’s codename was ’White Gloves’ before, but didn’t know the specific details. Suddenly learning about the record of the person in front of him, he found it hard to believe.

The captain of the seventh Gods Arena, Charlie!

A 68-match winning streak!

Chris swallowed hard.

To his surprise, Charlie laughed. He laughed so hard he bent over, and tears even came out.

”Hahaha, kid, are you telling me some kind of dark joke?”

”You’re actually comparing us to that person?”

”Genius... Hahaha! What absolute garbage!”

”In front of that person, all peerless geniuses are merely the threshold to meet him!”

”After all, even the president of the Genius Club... was once defeated by that person!”

...

South Korea, Command Post.

”President, are we really going to share the compensation with India?” one of the subordinates couldn’t help but ask.

The current situation on the field was very bad.

These people weren’t fools either.

Shen Mo definitely still had some trump cards up his sleeve. This round had completely caught them off guard.

They had originally thought Kassadin was already strong enough.

Who would have thought that Shen Mo could actually counter Kassadin? Who could take this?

Sharu’s defeat was only a matter of time. Even if he eventually got a three-star Kassadin, would Shen Mo really be completely unprepared? They didn’t believe it... judging from their last experience playing against Shen Mo...

Shen Mo was not the type of person to charge forward on a whim.

On the surface, this guy looked like a refined gentleman, but in reality, his heart was pitch black!

”When did South Korea ever say we would share the compensation with India?”

Park Bushun sneered. ”Targeting the Dragon Nation was India’s own decision. At most, we just made a passing suggestion. What does their win or loss have to do with us?”

This was clearly playing the rogue!

The eyes of his subordinates lit up.

”Wise decision, President!”

”Hahaha! It should be so. The Indians were stupid themselves, they can’t blame South Korea!”

”Exactly, exactly!”

...

[Stage 4-6, match ends!]

[Dragon Nation vs Persia, Persia wins!]

[Ranking changes!]

[1st Place: Persia, Karin: 56 HP!]

[2nd Place: Dragon Nation, Shen Mo: 32 HP!]

[3rd Place: India, Sharu: 15 HP!]

[4th Place: ...Eliminated!]

The match entered a white-hot stage!

On the Gods Arena voice channel, Karin had an embarrassed look on her face. ”Shen Mo, I’m sorry...”

Shen Mo pinched the bridge of his nose. ”It’s fine, a win is a win.”

He was utterly helpless!

Was this tool girl’s luck a bit bugged?

What the hell was a three-star Fiora?!

How is anyone supposed to play against this?!
