National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

39: Chapter 39 Hoshimi Sakura, a former loser who once climbed the ladder of godhood?Northern Plains secret base conference room.

Shen Mo had just gotten out of the car when he was dragged here, and several documents were shoved into his hands in the process.

”Old Man Li! That’s going too far! I’ve bled for the country, I’ve risked my life for the country! And you won’t even give me a bite to eat?” Shen Mo slammed the table and rose angrily, starting to clamor.

Old Man Li looked at him sideways: ”What do you want to eat?”

”Braised chicken with rice!”

Shen Mo was righteous and confident; braised chicken with rice is the GOAT!

Old Man Li spoke slowly and deliberately: ”That’s fine... However, Chief No. 1 said that you’ve been working very hard lately and arranged a sumptuous lunch for you here after you finish reading the documents. Since you want to eat braised chicken with rice, then forget it!”

Shen Mo’s eyes widened!

Damn it.

This old man has learned to be devious!

Who would eat braised chicken with rice when there’s a feast to be had?

Although the Northern Plains was a desolate place, with the state apparatus running at full speed, were you kidding? Food, medical care, clothing, housing, transportation... as long as you could think of it, there was nothing they couldn’t handle here!

Shen Mo swallowed his saliva: ”Well... since it’s an order from Chief No. 1, then I’ll definitely follow it. You old man are really unscrupulous; you should have said so earlier.”

After speaking, Shen Mo picked up the documents in his hand to cover his embarrassment.

Old Man Li chuckled, not exposing him, and just watched quietly from the side.

This document was a meeting summary organized by Chief No. 1. The content inside had been refined and was very concise. It took Shen Mo about 5 minutes to browse through it roughly.

The general content in the document was... ever since the 12.13 rule update of the Gods Arena, various countries seemed to have sensed a crisis and, quite unanimously, benched their ordinary contestants and sent out stronger ones.

For example...

[Sakura Country, Hoshimi Sakura, Danger Index: 9 stars (Extremely Dangerous)!]

[Current Gods Arena personal points: 1288 points!]

[Evaluation: A loser who once climbed the Gods Ladder. She is proficient in many lineups. It is suspected that she obtained a special item card on the Gods Ladder. According to records, in matches participated in by Hoshimi Sakura, the probability of getting a 3-Star 4-Cost unit is as high as 75%!]

”...”

Shen Mo gasped. Wasn’t this the young lady he had bumped into in both matches today?

This data was too outrageous!

Personal points: 1288!

9-star extremely dangerous evaluation!

The probability of getting a 3-Star 4-Cost unit in a match is as high as 75%!

Any one of these items alone would be enough to shock others, and now they were all concentrated on one person?

And... in this evaluation... a loser who once climbed the Gods Ladder?

What does that mean?

He remembered the old man saying before that it seemed like contestants who had participated in the Gods Ladder could no longer participate in the Third District’s Gods Arena matches, and could only go to the Second District?

Shen Mo couldn’t help but ask: ”Old man, this Hoshimi Sakura...”

”You noticed?” Old Man Li took a sip of tea and said lightly: ”This woman is not simple. Ever since you bullied her in a match last time, this woman has appeared. I heard she is from their Shrine organization, quite a big deal.”

”Shrine organization?”

”Yeah, I heard it’s called ’New World’. Inside are all powerhouses who have participated in the Gods Arena in previous years and climbed the Gods Ladder. But this woman is a bit special; she failed.”

”So if you fail, you can continue to participate in the competition?” Shen Mo was just about to ask.

Old Man Li spread his hands: ”Of course... After all, she didn’t obtain the qualification to go to the Second District, so she can certainly participate in the competition. But the tricky problem now is that this woman must have obtained some benefits on the Gods Ladder.”

”Otherwise, it would be impossible to rack up so many points in such a short time.”

Shen Mo: ”...”

Very good, very good!

Now that regular contestants can’t beat me, you’re sending unconventional contestants, right!

Are you playing ’reincarnation after self-destruction’ on me here?

Shen Mo slammed the document shut: ”Alright, I know. Let’s go eat!”

Old Man Li was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: ”Aren’t you worried?”

”Worried about what?”

”This kind of contestant...” Old Man Li pointed at the document: ”Later, various countries will send similar people to stop you from rushing into the top ten. Don’t you feel any pressure at all?”

Shen Mo looked at Old Man Li as if he were an idiot.

Is worrying useful?

Right now, I’m the only seedling left in the Dragon Country; why don’t you find someone else?

Besides!

It’s just a 3-Star 4-Cost unit!

It’s not a 3-Star 5-Cost unit, why panic!

Thinking of Hoshimi Sakura asking him for advice today while holding an 8 Portal, Shen Mo rolled his eyes wildly: ”Old man, one Hoshimi Sakura has scared you all like this, are you still capable of anything?”

”You wait until I meet her next time, I’ll show you all what it means to have a rank domination!”

”Hmph!”

Shen Mo’s words were overbearing.

It even took Old Man Li by surprise.

After Shen Mo left the room, Old Man Li looked at his back and muttered in a low voice: ”This brat, can he not act cool and die... Don’t think I don’t know that you even lost two matches to this woman today...”

...

September 1st, 30 days left until the end of Gods Arena S12!

”Start matching!”

Shen Mo stood on the contestant platform and said calmly.

”It’s here, it’s here! Hahaha! Today’s 5 matches officially begin. What do you say, can he rush into the top ten?”

Dragon Country viewers were delighted.

With Shen Mo’s sudden emergence, watching Shen Mo’s live stream every day had become a part of their daily routine.

”Not sure! But right now it’s definitely a matter of time; Shen Mo is too strong!”

”Shen Mo is awesome!”

”Hey, have you noticed? Although this guy Shen Mo isn’t first every match, he almost always gains points.”

”Even with the worst luck, he hasn’t fallen out of the top four!”

Dragon Country people started bragging, and it was true, Shen Mo’s strength was obvious to all.

Sakura Country was unconvinced: ”Pfft! Our Sakura Country’s Miss Hoshimi is the strongest! So what if Shen Mo is great? When he met our Miss Hoshimi, didn’t he lose two matches in a row?”

Dragon Country viewers were annoyed.

Damn!

It’s one thing for others to talk about Shen Mo, but you guys, the defeated, are jumping out too?

Do you only remember the eating and not the beating?

Dragon Country viewers: ”Bet 50 points on a match?”

Sakura Country: ”Miss Hoshimi is the best!”

Dragon Country viewers: ”Bet 50 points on a match?”

Sakura Country: ”Miss Hoshimi won against Shen Mo!”

Dragon Country viewers: ”Bet 50 points on a match?”

”...”

Sakura Country was numb. You guys only know how to say this one sentence, right!?

Not to mention.

This trick was really effective; at least the Sakura Country viewers were flushed red, but they just didn’t dare to take the bet.

Never mind that Hoshimi Sakura had won against Shen Mo.

It was useless!

This dog, Shen Mo, whenever it involved betting points, he had never lost!

Now, leaders of various countries had given strict orders: no matter how big the advantage, in any case, do not bet against Shen Mo!

Who knows if he might pull out some ghost lineup and beat you again.

The last time he won against India, the lineup Shen Mo used hadn’t been exposed even today. Who would dare to bet against him?

Isn’t this just asking for trouble...
