National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

133: Chapter 134 Wait a minute! I remember after Jin Guoguo updated...[ Joint Challenge initiated! Initiator: Eagle Country, Mike! ]

[ Challenge target: Dragon Country, Shen Mo! ]

[ Countdown: 15 seconds starting. During the countdown, any contestant participating in this challenge may ignore their number plate to join. A successful challenge consumes 1 challenge attempt and grants or deducts points as normal! ]

[ Countdown: 14, 13, 12... ]

A ticking sound rang out.

The venue immediately erupted in chaos; the Void spectators were restless, and many had already started whispering to each other.

”It’s this Shen Mo again! It’s him again! Has he committed some public outrage?”

”It seems this is the Dragon Country’s first appearance in the arena tournament. Are they trying to join forces to blockade this contestant?”

”Sigh, a joint challenge isn’t easy to win. These people have no conflict of interest, so they must have already formulated a strategy.”

”I was planning to bet on Shen Mo today. Now this happens... how am I supposed to place my bets!”

Within the Void, many were complaining endlessly.

The story of a certain ’Ticket-Ripping Bro’ who bet on Shen Mo yesterday and won a massive 150,000 points had already spread.

Who wouldn’t want to experience the joy of Young Master Zhao?

And yet, they ran into this!

You have to realize, once a joint challenge begins, the entire betting situation changes. It shifts from betting on wins and losses to betting on rankings, and the difficulty increases by more than just a little!

For example, if 5 people challenge Shen Mo, to bet on Shen Mo winning, you need to choose a rank between 1st and 6th. The odds differ depending on the rank.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that betting on Shen Mo to take first place necessarily has the highest odds.

The arena will estimate the rank Shen Mo is most likely to achieve based on everyone’s strength, thereby lowering the odds for that rank. Conversely, the odds for the rank least likely to be achieved will be raised to the maximum.

Looking at the record Shen Mo displayed yesterday.

Most likely, the casino will raise the odds for Shen Mo placing last. After all, his strength is there for all to see; what does a joint challenge matter? The possibility of Shen Mo finishing at the bottom isn’t very high.

”I’m participating in the joint challenge!”

A sneer rang out. Xu Shijun was the first to step forward to respond. His face was slightly twisted, and his smile had become quite cruel. He would settle old scores and new grievances together; he hadn’t forgotten the humiliation Shen Mo had brought him!

”Count me in!”

”I’m joining too!”

Everyone turned to look. This time, it was Hans from Germany, and Damiano from France!

Big Red-Nose Hans chuckled: ”I played a match against Shen Mo in the matchmaking queue earlier, and I wasn’t satisfied yet. It just so happens that today provides a rare opportunity to spar with Brother Shen again.”

Damiano, who rarely smiled, twitched his face: ”Agreed.”

Many spectators cursed them for being shameless!

It was clearly ganging up to bully someone, yet they spoke so sanctimoniously. Spar? Spar your ass!

I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone this shameless! Pfft!

Inside the Dragon Country livestream, many people were already so angry they started cursing.

”These guys are truly shameless. They pull this stunt every time. What, do they think they can bully Brother Shen just because he doesn’t have a temper!”

”Damn! I can’t take it! These guys obviously went back and discussed it yesterday; they came prepared!”

”No kidding!”

”If they weren’t prepared, they wouldn’t dare to fart in front of Brother Shen; they would have tucked their tails and behaved themselves long ago!”

”They still dare to challenge Brother Shen? Are they tired of living?”

The comments scrolled by rapidly; the Dragon Country audience was worried and chaotic.

Shen Mo held a very high position in their hearts! Seeing Shen Mo being bullied, these people wished they could personally enter the arena and tear these animals apart!

In the secret conference room at Beiyuan Base, Long Chen leisurely picked up his tea mug and took a sip. Hmm... you have to say! Old Man Li’s tea is really not bad.

Long Chen was incredibly calm, not panicking in the slightest, but the audience was anxious; the livestream comments were like an avalanche.

”Brother Chen! Quick! Analyze it for us, does Brother Shen have a chance?”

”Yeah, yeah, Brother Chen, analyze it!”

Seeing Long Chen like this, some viewers were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Long Chen snorted disdainfully and scolded: ”What the hell are you panicking about! A single joint challenge scared you? When I was fighting in the Bloody Arena back in the day, I never panicked even when it was 1v9. This kind of small scene is just a drizzle.”

”Look at how pathetic you all are!”

Once Long Chen said this, the comments quieted down quite a bit.

Long Chen continued to snort: ”One Korea, one Eagle Country, plus two tag-alongs from France and Germany—what kind of rotten egg combination is this? Can you open your eyes and look before you panic blindly!”

”Look at your Brother Shen!”

”Look at him, is he panicked?!”

”It’s truly laughable!”

Long Chen was fuming and just unleashed a torrent of criticism. Despite this, the effect was immediate.

Many viewers calmed down, and their eyes turned to the arena, looking in the direction of Shen Mo!

The result... these viewers were dumbfounded!

On the arena stage, Shen Mo could be seen with drooping eyelids, leaning against the contestant seat as if his bones had been removed. He was yawning repeatedly, adopting a ”Ge You slouch,” while Mike and Xu Shijun were talking heatedly over there.

Shen Mo couldn’t even be bothered to glance over. His vibe was purely: ”So boring, why hasn’t the match started yet? I still need to go home and eat, aba aba.”

Dragon Country viewers: ”...”

Fine, fine, fine! Our Brother Shen is just maverick! As expected, I’m still too young! He really doesn’t put the opponent in his eyes at all, right! Okay! This is very Brother Shen!

In the distance, Xu Shijun and the others naturally saw Shen Mo’s situation, and their faces turned green with anger.

What does this mean? We are challenging you together right now! With this attitude of yours, do we not need to save face!?

Alodes couldn’t watch anymore and coughed twice to announce the match: ”Um, the countdown is over! I declare the match officially started! This joint challenge! The challenging side is...”

The lineups for both sides were introduced. Xu Shijun immediately stepped forward, snorted coldly, and threw out a card!

[ Ding! Korea, Xu Shijun used the item card ’golden spatula’! ]

At the same time, Mike, unwilling to fall behind, also used an item card!

[ Ding! Eagle Country, Mike used the item card ’Golden Spatula Crown’! ]

[ Ding! Eagle Country, Mike used the item card ’Fast Kill’! ]

Three cold arena notification sounds rang out. Only then did Shen Mo slightly lift his eyelids, the corners of his mouth curling into a disdainful smile. He had thought the other side had studied all night to come up with some powerful strategy, but in the end... just this?

Whoosh! The atmosphere at the scene began to heat up. Nine streams of shimmering Hextech flew to Shen Mo’s side, hovering in the air.

Shen Mo couldn’t be bothered to look at what those idiots had chosen and simply waved his hand to open all his Hextech!

Shimmering lights flashed! 2 Gold, 2 Silver, 5 Prismatic! The nine Hextech cards erupted with dazzling light in an instant!

[Eclectic] [Basic Equipment Buffet] [Pandora’s Items II] [Comforting Caramel] [Treasured Trove III] [Mystic Unsealing] [Sugarcraft Crown] [Subscription Service] [Golden Scaled Essence]...

Shen Mo examined the opened Hextech. Suddenly! His eyes flickered slightly, and he straightened up in a flash!

”Wait! I remember that after the Golden Frying Pan update...”
