National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

52: Chapter 53 Young people lack martial ethics, Shen Mo is about to fight back!Zhang Zhiwei sighed; he felt that Shen Mo had already learned bad habits from Old Man Li!

”Little Shen... you need to understand the current situation! According to the information the country has received, the advancement process of the Gods Arena is divided into three stages: the Points Match, the Arena Challenge, and the Ladder Trials!”

”And the Arena Challenge does not restrict participants!”

”This means that by then, competitors from all countries who have climbed the Gods Ladder will become your enemies!”

Shen Mo picked his nose, looking puzzled: ”So what?”

He really didn’t understand.

According to what Old Man Zhang just said, the prerequisite for the Arena Challenge is for the Dragon Nation to enter the top ten and obtain the ticket to climb the Gods Ladder. Since they would already be in the top ten by then, what would it matter if they lost the Arena Challenge?

They would still be able to participate in the assessment, wouldn’t they?

What does it matter?

”Of course it matters!” Zhang Zhiwei was almost fuming, but he still forced himself to explain patiently: ”Let me put it this way! The competition we are playing now is called the Points Match, and it is for the top ten, to obtain the qualification for the Gods Arena.”

”You can understand that, right?”

”Mm.” Shen Mo nodded, indicating he understood.

Zhang Zhiwei continued: ”And according to the rules of the arena, when the top ten teams participate in the trials, they need to conduct an Arena Challenge to determine the order of selection for the Ladder Trials!”

”The difficulty of the Gods Ladder trials is divided into 4 levels: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell!”

”The number of people entering the trials for each difficulty is also limited!”

”Normal is 4 people, Hard is 3 people, Nightmare is 2 people, and Hell is 1 person!”

”The countries that win the Arena Challenge have priority in selection. When a difficulty is chosen, or the number of people is full, the following countries cannot continue to choose this difficulty. Do you understand now?”

Shen Mo finally realized!

He nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice!

”I understand! Instructor Zhang!”

”They chose to defeat me in the Arena Challenge because they wanted to gain priority in selection.”

”In this way, they can choose the high difficulty, get more rewards, and leave me with a low difficulty, where I can only get the minimum guaranteed rewards. Is that what you mean?!”

Zhang Zhiwei: ”...”

Very good.

I wasted my breath!

You didn’t understand a damn thing!

Zhang Zhiwei felt his high blood pressure about to flare up, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

But he couldn’t get angry at Shen Mo; after all, this person was now the darling of Chief No. 1!

A national key special protection object!

Zhang Zhiwei barely squeezed out a smile: ”Ahem, that... Little Shen... what you said before was correct. Indeed, they chose to make their move in the Arena Challenge because they wanted to obtain priority selection.”

”But there is a slight discrepancy with what you thought...”

Zhang Zhiwei gave another earnest explanation.

After a while.

Shen Mo’s expression was strange as he slowly said: ”You mean... they want to defeat me in the Arena Challenge to gain priority selection... and the whole purpose of this is just to choose a ’Normal’ trial?”

Zhang Zhiwei was relieved: ”Exactly!”

Shen Mo: ”...”

Exactly my foot!

Old man, do you want to hear what you are saying?!

Oh, scheming back and forth, just to grab a Normal trial?

It’s just a game of chess!

What could a Hell trial do!

Old Man Li said with a chuckle: ”Kid, I know what you’re thinking. Do you know how many people have passed the Hell-level trial in the eleven years since the Gods Arena descended?”

”How many?”

”None! Not a single country, or a single person, has passed the Hell-level trial! Even Long Chen back then only passed the ’Nightmare-level’ trial...”

”...”

It’s that hard?

Shen Mo was stunned. So that was it. He now completely understood the plans of those countries!

Simply put.

The other side wants to get priority selection in the Arena Challenge so that they can leave the most difficult ’Hell-level’ trial for him, and according to past situations, getting the ’Hell trial’ basically equals failure.

”Hmm...”

Shen Mo fell into deep thought.

Old Man Li thought he had discouraged Shen Mo, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him: ”Kid, don’t have too much pressure. Although the opponents you face in the Arena Challenge are strong, you are not weak either!”

”Relax your mind when the time comes, regarding the selection rights... just do your best!”

”Yes!”

Zhang Zhiwei also quickly agreed: ”Actually, you can be more optimistic. There is only one spot for the Hell trial. Unless you are ranked at the bottom, you don’t actually need to worry about anything. Besides, don’t you want to meet Long Chen?”

”When the arena cycle ends at the end of this month, I will take you to meet him! Then let Long Chen tell you about past experiences... passing the Nightmare-level trial is not impossible.”

The two old men comforted him well.

Shen Mo looked up with a strange expression: ”What are you talking about... I’m not worried?”

”...”

Both old men were speechless.

If you’re not worried, why the hell are you lost in thought!

I thought you were discouraged!

Shen Mo coughed twice and said: ”I was just thinking... you say, is there a possibility that, since they want to make a fuss during the Arena Challenge, and there are only ten spots to enter the Arena Challenge...”

”Wouldn’t it be fine if we just didn’t let them get the spots?”

Not let them get the spots??

Both Old Man Li and Zhang Zhiwei were stunned.

How to not let them?

Their national points ranking is so high right now, even if you go to match them and win, can you stop them from getting points? The top four can all get points! It’s just a matter of more or less!

The two old men looked at each other.

Old Man Li smiled awkwardly, not discouraging Shen Mo, but slowly said: ”Little Shen... the idea is very good, but it is very difficult to achieve. Let’s do this, we will discuss it further in the long run...”

How could Shen Mo not understand what Old Man Li meant.

He smiled and said: ”Old man, this matter is really not difficult... I remember that the golden spatula seems to have a ’strategist’ voice chat mechanism, right... We can do this... and then do that...”

Shen Mo muttered a bunch of things.

The two old men didn’t think much of it at first, but the more they listened, the more hooked they became.

Their eyes widened more and more!

No way, you can play like this?

Hiss!

This idea is very shameless!

The two old men looked at Shen Mo with very strange eyes... This young man! He doesn’t play by the rules!

Half an hour later.

”That’s about it, if you two have anything to add, you can say it.” Shen Mo picked up his tea mug and took a big gulp. Looking at the two old men now, they were already too shocked to speak.

Zhang Zhiwei stammered: ”That... this... isn’t this too bad...”

Shen Mo sneered: ”Why is it bad? Can only they snipe me, and I can’t fight back? In the past, everyone played the game properly and didn’t even dare to copy lineups. Why?”

”Isn’t it just because of the fear of being reported and punished by the deities!”

”But it’s different now. You also saw the last rule update. Everything not prohibited by law is allowed. If they dare to scheme in the Arena Challenge, it’s not too much for me to pull the rug out from under them, right?”

Both old men were speechless: ”...”

Yes.

That’s how it is said, but your method is too sinister...
