National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

98: Chapter 99 Chicks! Welcome to... the Bloody Challenge Arena!Thanks to the readers for the tips!!! Thanks to ’This Guy Is Not Xiao Yue Sheng’ for the big donation!! You’ve spent too much, here’s an extra chapter!

— — Boom!!! As Shen Mo’s voice fell, the entire venue fell silent!

The expressions of the contestants from various countries changed instantly. They had been thinking about giving Shen Mo a show of force, but who would have thought this kid would be so arrogant?

”Get lost, why are you still standing there?” Shen Mo sneered and said to Bae Soo-hyun, ”Sorry, we don’t accept trash in our Dragon Kingdom.”

Bae Soo-hyun’s face looked extremely ugly, but since this was the Gods Arena, he couldn’t lash out and could only grit his teeth and retreat to his own camp.

”This kid from the Dragon Kingdom is looking for death!” Many people cursed secretly, thinking about how they would make Shen Mo pay later! Hmph! Let him be arrogant for now!

[Please confirm as soon as possible, Dragon Kingdom contestant!] The referee’s cold voice rang out. Shen Mo glanced at the high platform and curled his lips: ”What’s the rush? Can’t you see the time isn’t up yet!”

??? Everyone was stunned. Did this guy from the Dragon Kingdom eat gunpowder today? So aggressive? He even dares to talk back to the referee of the Gods Arena?

In fact, what they didn’t know was... Shen Mo had had a good chat with Long Chen over the last two days. Now, in his heart, whatever bullshit deities were, it was all nonsense. In Long Chen’s words, they were nothing more than an alien race that called themselves ’Demi-humans’!

They had their own thoughts and their own desires. They were not at all the high and mighty gods they claimed to be. Without the filter, Shen Mo looked back on his journey so far, and naturally, he no longer had a good attitude toward these guys above his head.

Referee: ”...” To everyone’s shock, after Shen Mo’s angry retort, the Gods Arena really didn’t react at all. The contestants from various countries were shocked. Many of them had uncertain expressions, not knowing what they were thinking. This time, no one dared to urge Shen Mo.

Ten minutes later.

[Ding! Contestants from all countries are ready!]

[Next!]

[Announcing the competition rules for the second stage of this Gods Ladder, the Arena Tournament!]

A huge light screen descended, and a phantom appeared in the center of the screen. Its figure was illusory, with rings of light ripples behind it. Everyone was attracted by this scene. The live stream comments were filled with constant exclamations!

”Look! It’s the deities! The deities have descended in person!”

”Oh my god! Honey, come quickly and look at God!”

The illusory figure spoke slowly, its voice hollow like a machine, yet it sounded as if it were ringing right in your ear, piercing straight through your soul.

[The rules for the second stage of the Arena Tournament are as follows:]

[1. The initial points of every national contestant will be reset to zero. At the same time, each person has 1 challenge right per day, which refreshes at 0:00!]

[2. You may use your challenge right to challenge any contestant from another country. The challenged party can pay 10 points to refuse.]

[3. The maximum number of times each contestant can be challenged per day: 3 times!]

[4. Multiple countries can conduct a joint challenge. After the challenged contestant is eliminated, the remaining countries win directly and the competition does not continue!]

[5. Joint challenges and individual challenges share the same number of challenge attempts!]

[6. At the start of the match, each contestant can choose to refresh ’Hextech’ at their own discretion. All refreshed Hextech will be random.]

[7. Hextech levels are divided into three tiers: Silver, Gold, and Chroma. Note: The refresh level is random.]

[8. Duration of the Arena Tournament: 7 days. After the tournament ends, you can choose the trial level based on your ranking!]

[9. After the tournament ends, all contestants can choose one ’Hextech’ they have used to keep. Different levels of Hextech require different trial levels to be completed after being kept. Those who pass the trial level can convert the kept Hextech into an item card reward!]

... A series of rules were announced. Many viewers witnessing the Gods Ladder trial for the first time were extremely excited.

”Holy crap!! That sounds badass. An arena tournament, doesn’t that mean 1v1 duels?”

”Joint challenges, doesn’t that mean that in extreme cases, there could be a 1v9 situation? And as long as the challenged person loses, the remaining survivors are automatically declared the winners, and there’s no need to continue the subsequent matches!”

”Hiss... This is very disadvantageous for the Dragon Kingdom contestant. Once those countries unite, there is no competitive relationship between them!”

”Good grief, no wonder these people are so confident. So that’s what the rules for the Gods Ladder Arena Tournament are!”

Intense discussions broke out. However, this wasn’t over yet!

As the pale yellow figure gradually disappeared, a red warning sound echoed throughout the sky! Countless people were stunned, all staring wide-eyed at the highest point! There, strands of blood-red text gradually took shape!

[Warning 1: Unsealing the restrictions on contestants from all countries! Participating countries can freely dispatch personnel to fight!]

[Warning 2: For contestants possessing status, a restriction on the use of ’Affix’ skills is added: 1 time per day, refreshing at 0:00!]

[Warning 3: Void betting is enabled!!! Please note, your matches will be watched by the heavens and worlds!]

[Warning 4: Battle Royale mode enabled!!! (Please check your personal details column)]

[Warning 5: Extreme Challenge mode enabled!!! (Please check your personal details column)]

After several blood-red alert sounds!

The earth began to tremble, and a golden ladder suddenly appeared in the void, as if descending from above the sky! Endless light began to flicker, and before Shen Mo could react, his figure instantly disappeared from the arena!

Boom!!! When Shen Mo came to his senses, his eyes widened abruptly!

At this moment, he was standing in the middle of a boundless starry sky. The universe was the board, the starry sky was the pieces, and huge illusory figures rose and fell in the distance like small mountains. Bright lights were actually shining directly from the depths of the universe!!

”This is... a gladiatorial arena?!”

Boom!!! As his figure appeared, a loud, noisy clamor erupted all around. Shen Mo couldn’t see the source of these sounds, but he could clearly hear them. It seemed that these sounds had been processed by the Gods Arena and turned into a language he could understand!

Shen Mo turned his head to look, and at this moment, the contestants from other countries had also appeared here. Many of them had expressions of fanaticism, astonishment, and excitement on their faces!

The live stream comments exploded, and countless messages descended like snowflakes!

At the same time, an excited voice resounded throughout the venue!

The voice was particularly piercing, carrying a kind of fanaticism, as if every tone could make one’s blood boil!

”Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!”

”Good morning, everyone!”

”It’s that time of year again for the spectacular Arena Tournament!!”

”Look, what do I see! Some familiar faces!”

”Oh~! My god, and some little chicks, I’m already trembling with excitement!!”

”Little chicks! Welcome to... the arena of the Bloody Challenge Tournament!”

”Oh! My god! Sorry, I gave it that name myself, I hope you’ll like it!”

”Because~”

”This is the playground of the strong, and also the slaughterhouse of the weak!”

”I forgot to introduce myself...!”

”I am the special commentator for this year’s tournament!!!”

”The great... Mr. Alodes!!!”
