National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

112: Chapter 113 2000 points credited? That’s a face-changing bag!”Next, let’s welcome our contestant number 3... er?”

Alodes stopped mid-sentence, looking confused: ”Contestant Shen Mo, may I ask if you have any questions?”

Shen Mo didn’t say a word, his expression changing like a carousel, until he finally squeezed out two words after a long while: ”None.”

What questions could he possibly have... His only question right now was, could he place a bet?

That was obviously impossible without even thinking about it!!

So what other questions could he have!

30,000 points!!

If he had placed a bet back then, that would have been 30,000 points!!!

What was the concept of 30,000 points?

A Silver-tier trait costs 4,000 points, and synthesizing three Silvers into one Gold requires 12,000 points!!

30,000 points guarantees at least two Gold-tier traits!!

Thinking of this, Shen Mo felt his liver aching; he had lost so much!

”Er... since Contestant Shen Mo has no questions, let’s welcome our contestant number 3—Lena!”

”Contestant Lena, would you like to choose to be the challenger or the defender?”

”I choose to be the challenger!”

Lena smiled and said without hesitation.

She had come to challenge Shen Mo... but suddenly, Shen Mo raised his hand: ”Wait a second!”

”Lena, right? How many personal points do you have?”

Lena was confused and hesitated for two seconds before saying: ”Over 30,000...”

Shen Mo’s eyes lit up, and he reached out: ”Give me 2,000!”

”Why should I?!”

Lena was stunned. Was this man from the Dragon Kingdom crazy? He just walked up and asked her for points. What was this, did he think she was easy to bully because she had a lot of points?

Not only was Lena stunned, but the audience at the scene was also stunned.

The live stream chat screen was flooded with messages.

”This guy from the Dragon Kingdom is too despicable! He actually asked Lena for points directly? What does that mean!?”

”Is this a loan? And with that attitude? If you’re asking for a favor, you need to have the right attitude!”

Lena stepped back, looking at Shen Mo warily: ”What do you want to do?”

”I’m not doing anything~”

Shen Mo spread his hands with an innocent face: ”I’m asking you, do you want to challenge me? Fine, give me 2,000 points as an admission fee to challenge me, otherwise I’ll just forfeit. It’s no big deal to lose 10 arena points, I don’t care...”

As he spoke, Shen Mo seemed to feel it wasn’t enough, so he stepped forward onto the high platform and shouted: ”Everyone below, listen up! If you want to challenge me... pay me 2,000 points first, otherwise I’ll just forfeit!”

Xu Shijun stiffened his neck: ”You can forfeit if you want, what does that have to do with us? Why should we give you points?!”

”Clap, clap, clap~”

Shen Mo clapped, looking at Xu Shijun with an approving face: ”Well said. Why should you pay me points? Let me do the math for you. You see, the arena tournament lasts 7 days, and everyone has 3 opportunities to be challenged and 1 opportunity to challenge others each day.”

”That is to say, if you play the maximum, you can have 4 matches a day! But we know that’s definitely impossible, because each person only has 1 challenge opportunity, which determines that only 10 matches will happen per day!”

”If I accept your challenge, the difference in winning or losing is 20 points—you get 10, I get -10. But if I refuse you, you waste today’s challenge opportunity, and I get -10. Do you understand?”

”You can choose not to give points, then I’ll refuse all your daily challenges. After 7 days, your country’s points will still be 0, and as long as any other country has more than 0 points, they will surpass all of you.”

Xu Shijun was still stubborn: ”Then... then we can just not challenge you!”

Shen Mo looked at him like he was an idiot: ”Sure! I’m not forcing you. I’ve already said it: to challenge! Pay me 2,000. If you don’t want to challenge, do whatever you want...”

Everyone at the scene was silent, mostly shocked by Shen Mo’s shamelessness.

Good grief.

Is he really going to hurt himself by a thousand to kill the enemy by eight hundred?

When others challenged Shen Mo, if Shen Mo refused, he would be deducted 10 arena points, but the challenger would also effectively lose their challenge opportunity for the day and could only passively wait for others to challenge them.

It looks profitable, but it’s actually not profitable at all!

The people present from each country were all veterans. Shen Mo’s move effectively trapped them. If they challenge Shen Mo... they lose points. If they don’t challenge, are these old guys going to fight civil wars among themselves?

Think about it carefully.

Shen Mo can only accept challenges from 3 countries a day.

Their original plan was... to beat Shen Mo, gain 10 points, and then the countries behind them wouldn’t be able to challenge Shen Mo. Even if they came to challenge them, they would have a 10-point cushion, placing them in an invincible position.

But now, if Shen Mo refuses, they get 0 points and lose their right to challenge.

The countries behind them also have 0 points, but they have the right to challenge!

People’s hearts are hard to predict!!

There are only so many spots for each trial difficulty; it’s hard to guarantee that the countries behind won’t come up with new ideas...

”How about it, have you decided yet?”

”If you want to challenge me, bring 2,000 points, otherwise I’ll just refuse!”

Shen Mo looked completely unfazed, making many countries present grind their teeth in anger!

To be honest, when they planned the arena tournament to challenge Shen Mo, they didn’t expect this guy to come up with such a devious trick! You have to admit, this is an overt scheme!

If they challenge, they need to pay 2,000 points, which plays right into Shen Mo’s hands.

If they don’t challenge, Shen Mo doesn’t care, and then the plan to challenge Shen Mo would fail!

Lena twisted her hot body and said with a smile: ”Fine, I’ll give it to you... So that’s what you were planning. You should have said so earlier. Sister here lacks everything except points... 2,000, right? Here you go~”

Compared to a few personal points, Lena preferred the feeling of stepping on Shen Mo. She liked the strong, and she liked even more to use her own methods to conquer the strong!

It’s just a few points, it’s nothing~

[Ding-dong~]

[USA, Lena transfers 2,000 points to Dragon Kingdom, Shen Mo!]

She actually gave it?!

Shen Mo widened his eyes; he didn’t expect Lena to be so straightforward. He glanced at his personal points column, and sure enough—

[Personal Points: 10,260 points!]

It broke 10,000 just like that?

Shen Mo’s look at Lena changed; she had transformed from a stranger/enemy into a big fat sheep, a big fat sheep that could drop gold coins...

Shen Mo looked serious, unprecedentedly earnest: ”Since you’ve transferred the points, good! Then next, it’s the battle between you and me! This time, I will give it my all! Bring it on!”

Shen Mo even used a roar for the last sentence, his chuunibyou aura breaking through the sky!

Dragon Kingdom Audience A: ”I don’t know him, not familiar, please call me a Persia fan, thank you.”

Dragon Kingdom Audience B: ”What a coincidence, I’m an Oil Country fan, hello, hello.”

There was also a small group of fans hiding in the corner crying!

Brother Shen, your speed of changing faces is too fast!

Alodes coughed twice.

”Good! Next, I announce, the second match of the arena tournament, Shen Mo vs. Lena! The match begins!”

”Everyone... you may place your bets!”
