National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

84: Chapter 85 Long Chen Emerges from the Mountain! Shen Mo Needs to Break Free!Three days later.

Gods Arena!

[ Stage 3-6, match ended! ]

[ Dragon Country vs Giant Bear Country! Dragon Country wins! ]

Whoosh—

In the audience, countless Dragon Country spectators cheered and discussed.

”Brother Shen is so fierce today! What kind of damage is this Fox doing? She one-shotted the enemy frontline with a single skill?”

”True damage!! I can only say it’s exaggerated!”

”Hey, have you noticed that Brother Shen is so steady today... It’s completely different from his style a few days ago!”

”Yeah, yeah, yeah. A few days ago he was ’Gambler Brother Shen’, but these past few days he’s been ’Steady Brother Shen’!”

”Oh, who cares what kind of Brother Shen he is, as long as he can win, right?”

The Dragon Country spectators laughed happily, clearly not paying much attention to Shen Mo’s changes.

...

”Xerath... Xerath...”

On the arena.

Shen Mo began rolling the shop with a focused gaze, 8-unit lineup!

At this moment, his lineup on the field was extremely strong!

3-star Lillia + 3-star Fox + 2-star Poppy + 2-star Zoe + 2-star Hecarim + 2-star Taric + 2-star Ryze + 1-star Milio!

Fate Bastion Fox!

He was just one Xerath away from reaching level 9 and successfully evolving into the complete form!

Lillia’s frontline: Gargoyle Stoneplate + Dragon Claw + Warmogs Armor!

Fox’s three core items: Blue Buff + Nashor’s Tooth + Rabadon’s Deathcap!

Even Ryze was equipped with guinsoos rageblade + spear of shojin!

At this moment, only 6 players remained on the field, and Shen Mo was firmly in first place with 96 HP!

”Dragon Country’s Shen Mo, hello, you are very strong!”

The man from Giant Bear Country who had just lost smiled and connected the voice chat, greeting Shen Mo.

However, Shen Mo just glanced at him and immediately hung up the communication!

Leaving the Giant Bear Country man completely bewildered.

What?

Isn’t our relationship with Dragon Country pretty good?

Why is Shen Mo’s attitude so cold?

Could the rumors be wrong?

The Giant Bear Country man began to doubt life...

...

Off the stage, Chris was standing in the spectator area, speaking with a puzzled expression:

”Charlie, do you feel like Shen Mo’s state seems off today? It’s hard to describe, but if I had to say, it’s... he’s clearly already won, but he seems very nervous?”

”What is he nervous about?”

Chris really didn’t understand. According to his understanding of Shen Mo, he should have already been laughing and showing off by now.

He might even taunt the enemies a few times, or even strike a ’Ge You slouch’ pose.

But the only thing he wouldn’t do is be like this right now, staring at the match with a nervous face, as if he were afraid of losing in the next second!

This is not Shen Mo!

At least not the Shen Mo he is familiar with!

”His state seems to have some problems.”

Charlie narrowed his eyes and said: ”This might be our chance. What is the points leaderboard at now?”

”Shen Mo has already rushed into the top ten!”

Chris opened the leaderboard.

[ 1st Place: USA, National Destiny Points: 1930! ]

[ 2nd Place: Sakura Country, National Destiny Points: 1880! ]

[ 3rd Place: Eagle Country, National Destiny Points: 1750! ]

[ 4th Place: France, National Destiny Points: 1642! ]

[ 5th Place: Korea, National Destiny Points: 1580! ]

[ 6th Place: Giant Bear Country, National Destiny Points: 1460! ]

[ 7th Place: Germany, National Destiny Points: 1380! ]

[ 8th Place: Dragon Country, National Destiny Points: 1288! ]

[ 9th Place: India, National Destiny Points: 1260! ]

[ 10th Place: Oil Country, National Destiny Points: 1180! ]

”That woman from Sakura Country is really not simple. In such a short time, she actually rushed to second place!”

”Perhaps besides Dragon Country, this woman will also be a formidable rival for us in the USA!”

Charlie narrowed his eyes: ”Oil Country is also on the list. This seems to be the first time, right?”

Chris nodded slowly: ”I heard that Shen Mo gave him quite a few lineups. Now on the match queue, that guy named Hakin plays the Syndra variant extremely well, and his climbing speed is indeed very fast!”

”But it doesn’t matter. Yesterday, Gods Arena released the 13.16 version update again. Faerie and Honeymancy lineups have been strengthened, and Syndra has been directly nerfed into uselessness. It is obviously impossible for him to continue climbing like this.”

Charlie said indifferently: ”What do you want to do?”

”I want to test Shen Mo and see what his current situation really is!”

”If his mentality really has problems... perhaps we can really do something...”

”Do it yourself?”

”No.” Chris shook his head slowly: ”I will contact France and Germany. They can’t just stay neutral...”

...

An hour later.

[ Gods Arena Third District, match 1025 ended! ]

[ Winner, Dragon Country, Shen Mo! ]

On the arena, sweat flowed down from Shen Mo’s temples. Even though it was a big victory, Shen Mo felt very exhausted.

”Continue!”

[ Ding! Germany’s Hans used ’match locking card’, target: Shen Mo! ]

The cold prompt sound of the arena rang out.

Shen Mo’s pupils contracted slightly!

...

On the road from a certain courtyard to Beiyuan Base.

Long Chen watched the live stream listlessly, with a strange smile on his face: ”Oh my, it’s all your fault, Old Zhang. Look, what have you done to our seed player?”

Zhang Zhiwei rolled his eyes at Long Chen: ”Isn’t this exactly what you calculated from the beginning?”

Old Man Li looked bewildered: ”What are you two talking about?”

”Ask your good disciple!”

Long Chen raised his hands in surrender: ”It has nothing to do with me. Old Zhang and I are birds of a feather; we just cooperated with great tacit understanding.”

Seeing that Old Man Li was still very confused.

Zhang Zhiwei coughed twice and explained: ”Simply put, bringing Shen Mo to see Long Chen this time actually has another purpose, which is to give this kid some pressure. He has been too smooth; from the beginning to rushing into the top ten, he has hardly encountered any obstacles.”

”He hasn’t encountered any?!” Old Man Li was unhappy, protective of his student: ”What about the four-nation alliance...”

Long Chen waved his hand: ”Old Li, you don’t understand Old Zhang’s meaning. External obstacles are always external. But our situation is different now. To climb the Gods Ladder, the biggest problem is not from the outside, but from the inside!”

”Shen Mo needs a chance, a chance to break through himself!”

Speaking of this.

Long Chen’s eyes became a bit more serious: ”Shen Mo doesn’t even know how strong his talent is! I played chess with him for a day. His understanding of unit combinations and equipment attributes is definitely the strongest I’ve ever seen!”

”None equal!”

”He needs a trial, and pressure is inevitable. I watched all his previous matches. He seems to have become accustomed to using the hidden attributes of units to assemble powerful lineups, but instead, he has neglected the unit combinations that should be valued the most...”

”But there’s no need to put so much pressure on this child...”

Shen Mo was someone he watched grow up. Old Man Li saw that Shen Mo’s state had been wrong these past few days and was anxious in his heart. Even now that he knew the reason, he still felt some heartache for Shen Mo.

After all, this child is different from Long Chen; he shouldn’t have to endure these things!

Long Chen clapped his hands with a smile: ”Oh my~ That’s why I’ve emerged, right? Time is tight. Although it’s called training, there’s no time for him to mess around. I’ll prescribe a strong medicine; it’s guaranteed to cure him immediately!”
