National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

105: Chapter 106 You found this? Then find another one and let me see!Alodes: ”According to the referee team’s deliberation, the Dragon Girl unit is temporarily disabled. In the upcoming matches, contestant Shen Mo will not be able to deploy this unit until the referee team fixes the error!”

Disabled!!! Waiting for a fix!! And forbidden from deployment?!

As soon as Alodes said this, Bae Soo-hyun was trembling with excitement; he was on the verge of rushing up to hug him and give him two big kisses. This is what fairness is! Just look! This! Dammit! Is what you call fairness!

”Thank you, referee! Thank you, referee!” Bae Soo-hyun’s smile was obsequious, looking every bit like a lackey; he was just short of wagging his tail at Alodes.

The people present also widened their eyes. They were not fools; every contestant who could advance to this stage had fought their way out of the qualifiers. Although they didn’t understand why Shen Mo’s lineup was so tanky, there was no doubt that this was a new lineup Shen Mo had researched.

Every lineup relies on a specific composition of units. Now that the key unit, the Dragon Girl, was missing, didn’t that mean Shen Mo’s lineup was completely crippled?

How was this any different from fighting with his hands tied?

Hakin said angrily: ”This is too unfair! It’s clearly a problem with Gods Arena itself, so why should Brother Shen bear the consequences? Is this the fairness that Gods Arena claims to uphold!”

Hakin was very angry, but unfortunately, it was useless.

Alodes completely ignored him.

In the USA camp, Lena covered her mouth and laughed wantonly: ”So it was just relying on a loophole in the arena rules. I thought it was some formidable lineup; turns out it was just this?”

Bernini also pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and revealed a faint smile.

Shen Mo had actually stumbled upon a loophole in Gods Arena. Since that was the case, he could only blame his bad luck. Much like Lena, Bernini also believed that without the Dragon Girl, Shen Mo’s lineup would collapse on its own, and he would definitely be no match for Bae Soo-hyun in the upcoming matches.

”Ah!! No!! If you had said there was a problem earlier, Brother Shen wouldn’t have played this lineup!”

”Saying it now, isn’t this clearly setting up Brother Shen to fail!”

”Exactly! It’s already the 5-1 stage; even if Brother Shen wanted to change his lineup, he has absolutely no room for error in his health!”

”It’s too late!!”

”Damn it!”

In the live broadcast chat, the Dragon Country audience was gnashing their teeth, feeling upset for Shen Mo. Although the outcome of the arena match wouldn’t directly determine the fate of their country, losing the match like this still made them feel stifled!

Sakura Country laughed wildly: ”Hahaha! Stunned, aren’t you? Trying to be clever backfired, you stupid Dragon Country people!”

The Korean side mocked: ”I bet Shen Mo was just feeling smug, thinking his self-developed lineup was so powerful. But what happened? It wasn’t him being powerful at all, just a loophole in Gods Arena!”

”Do you think Shen Mo will be completely demoralized by this?”

”Haha, it’s possible. Look, isn’t he silent now? Maybe he’s questioning his life!”

”Makes sense! Haha!”

The lackeys were feeling smug, while the Western Countries watched the spectacle with cold smiles.

On the arena stage, Shen Mo was indifferent. That’s it? Forbidden from deploying the Dragon Girl? It doesn’t matter!

He already had 9 population, 70 gold in hand, and 35 refreshes left. In the 5th stage, there was a probability of getting ’High-Level Polymorph’. Even if Bae Soo-hyun hadn’t reported it, he was already planning to bench the Dragon Girl anyway.

With a 2-star Briar in hand, he could just deploy a few 2-star 4-cost units to form an 84 lineup, and the opponent wouldn’t be able to beat that either!

He could then pursue a 3-star 4-cost unit. He didn’t need the Dragon Girl at all; wouldn’t it be better to just bet on the Staff and perform magic tricks on the Korean guy?

”I accept!” Shen Mo smiled and raised his hand, looking calm and composed.

Bae Soo-hyun snorted in his heart. Pretending! Keep pretending, you brat! Without the Dragon Girl, I’ll expose your true colors in a moment!

Alodes coughed twice and continued: ”Good! Of course! Gods Arena represents absolute fairness and justice. Since it was because of the arena’s own reasons that Dragon Country contestant Shen Mo had to bench a unit, this actually counts as weakening the contestant’s strength!”

”Therefore, after deliberation by the referee team, since contestant Shen Mo discovered the loophole, the compensation plan is as follows...”

”1. If contestant Shen Mo loses this game, no arena points will be deducted!”

”2. Compensate contestant Shen Mo with 5000 personal points!”

”Please note: Bets on the outcome are not calculated in this compensation. If contestant Shen Mo loses the match, viewers who bet on contestant Bae Soo-hyun to win will receive their rewards as normal. Likewise, if contestant Shen Mo wins, payouts remain the same.”

Whoa—as soon as Alodes said this, the scene erupted in an uproar!

Many people were stunned; compensation of 5000 points?! You can do that?!

Bae Soo-hyun’s expression froze on the spot. No, is there something wrong with Gods Arena!

I was the one who reported it!! I was the one who discovered that Shen Mo’s lineup had a problem!! Shen Mo was exploiting a loophole to gain improper benefits!! Why are you rewarding Shen Mo?! Shouldn’t you be rewarding me?!

Bae Soo-hyun was numb! For some reason, he suddenly felt like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet!

”Regarding this compensation, does contestant Shen Mo have any objections?”

”I have an objection!” Bae Soo-hyun raised his hand, his face full of indignation: ”Mr. Alodes, I was the one who reported this loophole to the arena. Shouldn’t I be rewarded instead? Why reward the Dragon Country person!”

As soon as these words came out, in the live broadcast chat, the Korean audience, like dogs smelling blood, immediately started clamoring.

”Yes! It was clearly discovered by our senior Bae Soo-hyun! You can’t reward that Dragon Country person!”

”If you’re going to reward anyone, you should reward our senior Bae Soo-hyun!”

”That’s right!”

”I protest! I demand that Gods Arena treat our great Korea fairly!”

The chat scrolled rapidly.

Bae Soo-hyun also put on an ’angry’ appearance, but in his heart, he was already overjoyed. Look at that! This is the cohesion of our great Korea!

Unexpectedly, Alodes just glanced at him: ”You discovered it?”

Bae Soo-hyun was confused: ”Yes!”

Alodes sneered: ”Then find another one and let me see.”

”...” Bae Soo-hyun’s voice stuck in his throat, and he was left speechless on the spot.

Find another one? Where the hell am I supposed to find one? Aren’t you just trying to make things difficult for me on purpose!

”Can’t do it, right?” Alodes curled his lip in disdain: ”If you can’t do it, then shut up. Gods Arena is not perfect, but it is absolutely fair. I can tell you that perhaps there are a second or third loophole in Gods Arena.”

”As long as you discover one, the arena will still reward you, but not just by you opening your mouth and saying ’Oh, I discovered a loophole in Gods Arena,’ only for you to be unable to say a word when asked about it!”

”What is the most important thing about a loophole? It’s reproduction, being able to use it, being observable and fixable!”

”Now you tell me, wasn’t this loophole discovered by the Dragon Country contestant Shen Mo?”

Alodes had delivered a harsh retort.

Bae Soo-hyun’s face turned green, his chest heaving, but he couldn’t let out a single word. After all, if you followed Alodes’ logic, this loophole really was ’discovered’ by Shen Mo...

The live broadcast chat went dead silent.

The scene returned to quiet.

Alodes waved his hand: ”Alright, the match continues. Contestant Shen Mo, do you have any questions?”

Shen Mo looked strange: ”...I have no questions.”

He certainly had no questions. But as for bugs...
