National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

2: Chapter 002: If Shen Mo wins, the nation wins! If Shen Mo loses, the nation loses!As Shen Mo took the stage, the matching mechanism of the Gods Arena began to operate immediately.

Countless streams of light overflowed.

Shen Mo stood suspended on the high platform, and adjacent to him were seven other such platforms, though they were currently unoccupied.

The matching, which took a few seconds, concluded.

Figures appeared on the high platforms, and the live stream’s barrage of comments descended like snowflakes!

”It’s here, it’s here! Whether the Dragon Country can turn the tide depends on this round! Haha!”

”What else is there to say? Just look at this kid from the Dragon Country, his face is full of nervousness. You can tell the Dragon Country is doomed this time!”

”Haha, what do you think will happen if this kid gets eliminated in eighth place and loses another 12 points? Will the Dragon Country be wiped out?”

”Heh, negative 147 points... even if it’s not wiped out, it’s pretty close! Why am I feeling a bit of anticipation...”

[Matching successful...]

[Gods Arena, Third District, Match 128 is about to begin. Everyone, you may now choose your pre-match bets!]

A pale blue screen appeared before every contestant.

Shen Mo was no exception.

However, when he saw the content on the screen, his mouth twitched violently!

[Multiplier]: After this match ends, the points gained or deducted are multiplied by 2!

[Super Multiplier]: After this match ends, the points gained or deducted are multiplied by 4!

[No Multiplier]: After this match ends, the points are gained or deducted normally!

Isn’t this just the rules of Fighting the Landlord!

Gods Arena... the name sounds intimidating, but couldn’t you make the options a little less down-to-earth!

Damn it!

Shen Mo complained wildly in his heart.

However, despite his complaints, his hand didn’t slow down at all. He directly chose [No Multiplier].

Nonsense!

The Dragon Country’s national fate points he was bound to were already at negative 135. The previous twelve contestants hadn’t chosen to multiply, and he still didn’t know what the situation was. Choosing to multiply right off the bat would be suicide!

[8 contestants have finished selecting, 7 chose No Multiplier!]

[Sakura Country contestant ’Kamigawa’ chose Multiplier! Selection has taken effect!]

Someone chose to multiply?!

Shen Mo was stunned and looked at the other contestants on the high platforms.

The eight platforms were not far apart. His 5.0 vision could barely make out the expression on the face of the contestant furthest away. At this moment, a thin, sinister-looking man was full of arrogance. That must be ’Kamigawa’.

Seeing Shen Mo look over, Kamigawa showed a look of contempt on his face. He reached out, pinched his pinky finger, made an insulting gesture, and spoke in broken Chinese: ”Dragon Country person, coward...”

Under the global live broadcast, these words were clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears!

The Dragon Country netizens were instantly enraged!

”Too arrogant! Is this the Bushido spirit of Sakura Country? What kind of pre-match mockery is this!”

”Exactly! What right do they have to mock us? It makes me so angry!”

”When has our Dragon Country ever suffered such humiliation? I can’t take it anymore. If we lose this time, I’ll just go to their border and die with them!”

”Well said! These bastards, count me in!”

”Hehehe, in the face of the powerful Sakura, all enemies are paper tigers. If they aren’t cowards, what are they?”

”My Sakura Country only worships the strong. You Dragon Country people aren’t worthy!”

”So ga, give up! To use your Dragon Country saying... those who know the times are heroes... Hahaha!”

In Sakura Country, countless citizens were celebrating!

Some were holding large loudspeakers, shouting ’Kamigawa’s’ name, looking like fanatical fans!

Inside the secret base of the Dragon Country!

The hot-tempered Old Man Li slapped the table with a bang: ”Those dog-eat-dog bastards! I didn’t kill enough of them on the battlefield back then! We should have wiped them out directly at that time!”

Everyone present held high ranks. The older ones were so angry that their hair stood on end.

They felt it personally!

Their eyes were red!

People who haven’t experienced that era simply won’t understand how the Dragon Country managed to get to where it is today.

What these people, this generation, actually sacrificed!

The conference room went quiet.

After a long while, someone sighed.
