National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

108: Chapter 109 3-Star Fiora? My eyes widened like saucers...At this moment, not only the Void spectators were stunned, but Bae Soo-hyun was also stunned!

Bernini was slapped in the face even more directly, and the stiff smile on his face could barely be maintained...

Golden light soared into the sky.

A majestic voice rang through the Void: ”Crystals never break...”

Taric!

A 3-star Taric!

The world went quiet! Countless spectators stared at this scene in dumbfounded shock, mouths agape as if they could fit an egg inside!

The pressure from three 3-star 4-cost units was simply too overwhelming. Their burly frames bathed in golden light; just standing on the battlefield, they exuded a powerful sense of oppression.

Shen Mo even sold off all his other cards, leaving only the three 3-star 4-cost units on the board. The message was clear: ”I’m done. Please, begin your performance.”

”...”

Bae Soo-hyun’s face flushed to the color of liver. Performance my ass!

He’s cheating!

How is this even playable?

His ’Deadly Trap’ could only target one 4-cost unit, yet Shen Mo had managed to chase down three of them?! And looking at the ridiculously tanky bodies of Tahm Kench and Taric, Bae Soo-hyun felt his vision go dark, the world spinning around him!

The 5-3 match began!

The Gold-tier augment ’Deadly Trap’ activated, and the fully geared Taric was instantly killed with his health locked. This scene made Shen Mo frown. So that was the effect of this guy’s augment... locking a unit’s health at a constant 100...

He just didn’t know if it locked a random unit or if there was some other pattern to it?

Shen Mo’s mind raced as he speculated.

He now had three 3-star 4-cost units on hand and had spent all his previous money, but after selling a wave of monsters, he had 28 gold coins. Theoretically, he could roll now, but Shen Mo wanted to wait a little longer.

It wasn’t that he wouldn’t roll, but he only rolled twice per round!

The 5th stage had a chance to yield high-tier polymorphs, but the probability was much lower than in the 6th stage!

The 3-star Tahm Kench roared, his massive body hiding underground before instantly bursting out from the dark river, crowd-controlling a group of enemy units. Jinx’s cannons roared, but because her true damage had been cut, the damage wasn’t particularly exaggerated.

The 3-star Kalista was dealing damage. With the buffs from two guinsoos rageblade and an Infinity Edge, Kalista’s damage was absurdly incomprehensible; every Rend spear brought waves of damage.

2v8, a total slaughter!

This was even with the opponent using a Gold-tier augment to disable one of Shen Mo’s units. If the 3-star Taric had managed to cast his ultimate, that would be true tankiness; Jinx probably wouldn’t even qualify as a scratcher.

”Absurd! This is too absurd! Three 3-star 4-cost units! How did this Dragon Kingdom contestant manage to chase them down?!”

”The point is, he even chased two big tanky frontliners! That’s the problem. That Bae Soo-hyun can disable one, but he really can’t disable the second one! Tahm Kench is so tanky that Kalista’s damage-dealing environment is way too comfortable!”

”Damn! I can’t read this situation anymore. Is that Shen Mo going to win?”

The audience whispered. In the broadcast room, the South Korean viewers were rendered speechless.

The 5-4 stage draft ended!

5-5, Bae Soo-hyun lost!

5-6, Bae Soo-hyun was hit again... his health also dropped to a precarious 28 points!

On the other hand, Shen Mo... well, this guy hadn’t moved since he was at 8 health. His 3-star 4-cost units had secured a 3-game winning streak!

”There’s still hope...” Bae Soo-hyun’s lips trembled, but his hands were constantly rolling for cards! He was looking for Fiora! After these few consecutive losses, he quickly adjusted his card lineup. Since he couldn’t win anyway, he might as well refine the quality slightly.

Economy was freed up, and now he had 7 Fiora cards on the board!

Only 2 more to go!

Sweat dripped from Bae Soo-hyun’s forehead. This scene was seen by the viewers in the broadcast room, and the South Korean viewers didn’t even dare to breathe, all watching Bae Soo-hyun with nervous expressions...

Roll!

Swish!

Another Fiora appeared!!!

That’s 8!

Only one more left!

Bae Soo-hyun swallowed his saliva. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t nervous. He only had 12 gold coins on hand. Excluding the 4 coins needed to buy Fiora, he had at most 4 more chances to roll!

”Don’t rush, don’t rush! There’s still room for error!”

Bae Soo-hyun breathed heavily, working on his own mindset: ”After this 5-7 monster wave is finished, it should give me a big boost in economy, and it won’t be too late to go all-in for the last Fiora at 6-1...”

...On the other side, Shen Mo was also pondering a question: with the monster wave now, would the 0-gold Staff he picked up actually take effect? It was common knowledge that monster waves didn’t refresh the Staff.

But Shen Mo had bought a Staff in the last second before fighting the monsters. He didn’t know the effect, but it cost 0 gold anyway. The units on the board hadn’t changed: Kalista, Tahm Kench, Taric.

”Is it possible I bought it too late... and it hasn’t transformed yet?”

”Possible. Let’s wait until the monster wave is over to check...”

Bang!

The monsters were quickly cleared. The golden orb dropped a golden spatula for Shen Mo, but unfortunately, it was useless to him.

He scanned the board.

Kalista, Taric, Smolder.

Hmm.

Hmm?

Wait~ did something get mixed in?

Shen Mo was stunned. Good heavens, Smolder was staring right at him with those two big, round eyes!

It actually worked?!

...”It’s here!” Bae Soo-hyun’s hands trembled with excitement as he slammed down to buy the last Fiora in the shop!

Clang!

In an instant.

Golden light soared into the sky, and Fiora was coated in holy golden dust. Her blade cut through the sky, and a cold voice rang out in the Void: ”A sharp sword, a sharp eye...”

A 3-star Fiora!

At this moment, Bae Soo-hyun wanted to look up to the sky and howl, roaring: ”Who else?!”

What is a desperate comeback?!

What is the gold standard of a senior!!

So what if you have three 3-star 4-cost units!?

Ah! Haters, speak up!

No matter how tanky the 3-star Tahm Kench is, don’t I have a 3-star Fiora now? Kalista is dealing crazy damage in the backline, but do you have any regard for my Fiora who is cutting into the backline?

He equipped the 3-star Fiora with the three best items: Steraks Gage + Titans Resolve + Bloodthirster.

Bae Soo-hyun was now unprecedentedly confident. The depression from the previous failures was swept away, just like drinking a sip of ice-cold cola in the middle of summer—refreshing from head to toe!

”Shen Mo, aren’t you going to die now?!”

”So what if you have three 3-star 4-cost units? My one 3-star 4-cost unit is enough to beat you...”

Bae Soo-hyun sneered, as if he could already see the look of terror on Shen Mo’s face...

Time ticked away.

[Stage 6-1, the match begins!]

As Alodes’s voice fell, the lineups were refreshed in an instant!

”I’m already at 3-star Fiora. This round, you can surr... uh...???”

Bae Soo-hyun crossed his arms and sneered, but soon his smile stiffened on his face.

Wait~ what the hell is that guy with eyes wide as copper bells?!

You... you aren’t a local, are you?!

Bae Soo-hyun was dumbfounded!

Severe cold! I really can’t hold on anymore... Brothers, I feel like I might pass out at any moment...

Here is the 3rd update for today!
