National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

111: Chapter 112 On the Importance of Integrals! Shen Mo Regrets Missing Out on Over a Hundred Million![Arena Challenge, Round 1, Match Ended!]

[Shen Mo vs. Bae Soo-hyun! Shen Mo Wins!]

”Yeah!! Won!! Brother Shen is awesome, 2 three-star five-cost units crushed Korea, so satisfying!!”

”Sigh! It’s just a pity that Bae Soo-hyun’s health was too low later on, felt like it ended before I could enjoy it for a few more rounds!”

”If Brother Shen had gotten the 3-star 5-cost units earlier, he could have bullied the opponent for a few more rounds!”

”Geez, you think 3-star 5-cost units are cabbage? That combat power is basically crushing, okay!”

Amidst the discussions.

Alodes announced the point verdict for the match.

[Shen Mo, Arena Points +10, Current: 10 Arena Points!]

[Personal Points: 8260!]

[Bae Soo-hyun, deducted Arena Points -10, Current: -10 Arena Points!]

[Ranking Change!]

[First Place, Dragon Kingdom, Shen Mo, Arena Points: 10! Remaining Challenges/Being Challenged: 1/2!]

5000 points received?!

Shen Mo was pleasantly surprised.

So satisfying!

He had painstakingly played matchmaking games for 2 months just to barely earn 3000+ points, and now, by pulling a bug, he got 5000 points added directly! Isn’t this just exploiting a loophole!

Shen Mo clicked his tongue... 8260 points... Hmm, although Old Man Li had told him about the general use of points, until today, he hadn’t really used this stuff!

”Alodes, I would like to ask about the specific uses of points!”

Shen Mo raised his hand.

Since he was a child, teachers always said to ask if you have questions. Besides, this was a National Destiny War, and after getting 5000 for free, not spending any felt like the money was burning a hole in his pocket.

Alodes said kindly: ”If contestant Shen Mo wishes to redeem points, you can click the blue button on the right side of your console. After pressing the button, all the items you can currently redeem will be displayed!”

So that’s how it is!

Shen Mo suddenly realized. He found the blue button on the right and pressed it. Immediately, a pale golden light screen appeared. On this light screen, it was divided into four categories based on type: Props, Status, Traits, and Others.

Shen Mo first clicked on Props, his eyes immediately drawn to the dazzling array of prop cards!

[Gold-tier Point Doubling Card (Limited to Matchmaking Games), Price: 200 Personal Points!]

[Gold-tier lineup shielding card (Limited to Matchmaking Games), Price: 100 Personal Points!]

”So expensive!”

Seeing the selling price of the familiar cards, Shen Mo’s eyes widened instantly. 200 points?!

”Why don’t you just go rob someone?”

When he played matchmaking games, the most he had ever won in a single game was 148 points, right?

”Now you’re telling me one card costs 200?”

”Is this reasonable?”

Shen Mo noticed a line of small text at the bottom of the prop cards: ’This prop card can be gifted to others for use’.

”...”

Shen Mo gave a bitter smile. Don’t say it, this was actually quite reasonable!

Old Man Li had already said before that all the National Destiny points from the matchmaking game settlement would be given to Shen Mo as travel expenses for venturing into the Second District. It was evident that these points were basically equivalent to money in the Second District.

Bae Soo-hyun had tens of thousands of points.

Wasn’t that just accumulated from wandering in the Second District all these years?

What is foundation?

It’s when the Korean nation needs to chase points in matchmaking games, Bae Soo-hyun waves his hand and buys 10 Gold-tier Point Doubling Cards for those players to use! This is foundation!

Is it worth it to spend 2000 points to exchange for dozens or hundreds of points in matchmaking games?

Of course it’s worth it!

Some things shouldn’t just be looked at on the surface. What they care about isn’t the points, but the qualifications. Having one more qualification for their own country to enter the Second District is far more worthwhile than a mere few thousand points!

”In the future, I will also become someone else’s foundation...”

Shen Mo snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and stopped thinking about these things. Instead, he continued to scroll through the page. The Status category was blank, meaning he didn’t have any Status yet and couldn’t view the items on the page.

Shen Mo didn’t mind and continued flipping the page.

Traits.

???

Shen Mo’s eyes widened. This stuff can be bought??

He had always thought that guys like Bae Soo-hyun got their Trait abilities through the Trial of God, and then awakened them through some magical ritual...

In fact, Shen Mo had overthought it.

Was this stuff actually so unpretentious?!

You can just buy it directly?!

Then Bae Soo-hyun’s Gold-tier Trait...

He searched for Gold-tier Traits, but no corresponding products were displayed, only 2 introductions:

1. Use 3 different Silver-tier Traits to synthesize one random Gold-tier Trait!

2. Use 3 identical Silver-tier Traits to synthesize the corresponding Gold-tier Trait!

”...”

Very good, this thing is still a trap!

No wonder Bae Soo-hyun was so arrogant. After all this time, his Gold-tier Trait was actually considered good!

Combining three to make one, if you combine it into trash, wouldn’t you die of crying?

Tens of thousands of points!

Working hard for a year, this is probably the only income, right?

Shen Mo sighed with emotion. This brought to mind our Long Chen, starting with a Rainbow Trait...

Thinking of this.

Shen Mo took out the one-time card Long Chen had given him, examined it carefully, and muttered: ”If this thing were exchanged for points, it would be worth a fortune, right?”

[Trait: Intuition!]

”...Ahem, of course, I can’t exchange it for points~”

”I can’t answer to Brother Chen!”

Shen Mo coughed twice and put away the card Long Chen had given him.

But having said that, if he also got a Gold-tier Trait, what would it be...

The devil’s thought had just arisen.

Shen Mo quickly pushed it back down. Can’t think about it, can’t think about it. If Brother Chen knew he sold the card, he probably wouldn’t say anything... but Old Man Li might not... that guy’s explosive temper... Shen Mo didn’t want to get beaten up.

The halftime break was almost over.

Lena, holding the number 3 tag, was eager to try, preparing to start the challenge.

Suddenly, a shrill voice pierced through the entire venue!

It was enough to make the listener sad and the hearer weep!

”Points...!!!”

”My points!!!”

At this moment, Shen Mo, who finally realized what he had missed, was slapping his thighs in regret!

A 1:10 ratio!!!

Ten times the compensation!!!

He actually didn’t place a bet!!!
