National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

132: Chapter 133 Joint Challenge! Mike from the Eagle Nation Drives!Making Shen Mo voluntarily play a ’High Population’ lineup... Hmm, this is hard, but also not hard... It seems there really is room to maneuver!

Several national contestants frowned and pondered.

After discussing for quite a while, Old Mike finally snorted and said: ”At worst, I’ll just use the ’Golden Spatula Crown’ again. Anyway, he played Ten Demon Gods during the last joint sniping.”

”The USA isn’t participating, but we can borrow that item card from Chris that grants a ’golden spatula’ at the start, and replicate that match from the qualifiers. I don’t believe Shen Mo will be able to resist!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes lit up!

Hiss! You know, you really have a point!

Old Mike might look rough, but he’s actually quite meticulous!

What he said makes perfect sense!!!

Just think about it! What kind of personality does Shen Mo have? Everyone here probably knows it clearly!

He is definitely their sworn enemy who hates them. If he has the chance to take them out in the most brutal way, Shen Mo will absolutely not go soft. Yesterday’s Ten Demon Gods and Ten Dimensions are proof of that!

Xu Shijun sneered and added.

”We can also chase after 3-star 4-cost units. Anyway, that Staff that increases the star level of chess pieces is no longer a secret. This way, there are only two ways for Shen Mo to defeat us!”

”One is to pull off a ’High Population’ lineup, and the other is to compete with us for 3-star 4-cost units!”

”But no matter which one he chooses, we have a way to sanction him!”

After thinking for a moment, everyone excitedly echoed: ”Brilliant! This method will work! If Shen Mo wants to reach level 10, he will fall into the trap of the ’Fast Kill’ item card and get eliminated in the mid-game!”

”If he wants to upgrade from 4 to 5, then we can team up to block his cards! Conversely, it’s almost impossible for him to block all of our cards by himself!”

”Even if we take a step back and say he manages to block us, his economy would be mostly wasted!”

”We can completely take advantage of the situation and crush him with the inherent strength of our lineup!”

The group chattered away for a while longer.

The more they talked, the more excited they became, feeling that their plan was flawless. From any angle, it was impossible for Shen Mo to win the match, and the most critical core point was the use of the ’Fast Kill’ item card!

”I announce! The second day of the Bloody Arena Tournament is about to begin!”

”Please, contestants, draw your number plates!”

Alodes’ voice rang out, and immediately, a roar of cheers erupted on the arena!

The atmosphere was pushed to a climax in an instant.

Among the various national camps, Shen Mo’s lips curled slightly as he leaned back against his contestant seat, observing the situation on the field. When he saw Xu Shijun and the others whispering to each other, he raised an eyebrow.

”What kind of scheme are these idiots cooking up again?”

”Was yesterday’s lesson not enough?”

”Are they going to offer their faces for me to slap again in a moment?”

Shen Mo muttered to himself.

There’s no helping it; these brain-dead guys, for some reason, always have an inexplicable sense of confidence.

If you go up and slap them twice, they’ll whimper and curl up into a ball.

Yet the next day, they’ll wag their tails and swagger in front of you again, having completely forgotten the pain of yesterday.

So Shen Mo was used to it.

Just hit them, then! What else can you do? Just consider it giving these guys a complete childhood.

How does that old saying go?

Beating your kids on a rainy day; you’re just idling anyway.

Swish! As Alodes finished speaking, golden light suddenly bloomed on the arena. Ten colorful number plates spun continuously in the air, then burst with a bang like fireworks, flying into everyone’s hands.

Shen Mo grabbed the number plate and glanced at the number on it. Number 3! Hmm... not bad! He liked earlier numbers; finish the fight early and get off work early.

On the other side, in the Persia camp, Karin also caught her number plate and was about to flip it over to check, when Hakin curiously leaned in: ”Karin, what number are you? I’m number 7! Sigh, why am I always so far back...”

Karin rolled her eyes at Hakin and chided: ”Isn’t being further back a good thing? Right now, everyone is targeting Brother Shen, so we’re hiding behind him and enjoying the benefits. Even if you have 0 points, your ranking won’t be too low when the time comes!”

”That’s true, but...” Hakin muttered, whispering: ”Although I’m happy about the high ranking, it’s boring not to have any matches to play, okay! Besides, since Brother Shen had you tell me about so many lineups yesterday, to be honest, my hands are itching...”

”If only someone blind enough would challenge me today; then I could try out the lineups Brother Shen mentioned.” ”And ruthlessly crush them!”

Hakin was a bit impulsive. After choosing to be a defender yesterday, he hadn’t used his ’Challenge’ privilege. As a result, he had spent the whole day watching the matches. Aside from the two games Shen Mo started with and the one game Karin played, Hakin felt like he was about to fall asleep watching the rest!

According to the competition rules, defenders are not required to use their challenge rights. This is considered a form of protection for the contestants. After all, if a defender is challenged three times in a row and tenaciously holds on, only to lose when they initiate a challenge themselves and inexplicably lose their defender status, that would be a bit counterproductive.

”You...” Karin was helpless. This was a classic case of being blessed but not knowing it. She didn’t want to take risks, but unfortunately, Eagle Country challenged her yesterday and she lost. Now she has -10 points and is in the third tier. Her pressure is much greater than that of this happy-go-lucky kid, Hakin.

”Alright, Sister Karin, stop nagging. Hurry up and check what your number plate is?” Hakin was impatient.

Karin sighed, not knowing what the kid was in such a rush for. She flipped her palm, and a large number appeared! Number 4!

”The number plates have been distributed!” ”Next, I invite the first contestant to take the stage!”

As Alodes finished speaking, a tall man with a cold sneer on his face stood up abruptly. This man was none other than the Eagle Country contestant who defeated Karin yesterday, Mike!

The audience’s cheers erupted. Mike strode forward with a swagger, looking around arrogantly, and finally, his gaze rested in the direction of the Dragon Country... or more accurately, looked at Shen Mo!

”I... want to challenge Shen Mo!” ”Not only that, to be precise, I want to initiate a Joint Challenge!”

As the words fell! With a boom, the whole audience was shocked! Many people gasped! A Joint Challenge! This man from Eagle Country actually chose to initiate a Joint Challenge against Shen Mo? Although according to the competition rules, once a contestant initiates a Joint Challenge, they can choose to ’get on board’ no matter which number plate they get later, which is considered a hidden way to cut in line, and if they win the match, they can also earn points. But is Shen Mo really that easy to challenge? Yesterday’s bloody lesson was still fresh in their minds; had they already forgotten?
