National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

3: Chapter 003 S12! The worst season in history?Blitzcrank, Lillia, Nomsy, Seraphine, Soraka...

Honeymancy, Faerie, Dragon, Faerie, Sugarcraft?

The characters on the cards were lifelike, as if dynamic real people were trapped inside. As Shen Mo moved his fingers, they would even accompany him with cheers, surprise, and disappointment.

This... this is S12!?

Shen Mo was a bit dumbfounded!

Although he had already guessed in his heart that this Gods Arena was very likely the chess game he had played in his previous life, when these familiar images truly appeared before him, Shen Mo still felt his breathing grow heavy.

”How could it be S12? It’s actually S12... This season is a total piece of trash!”

With the Fortune trait in S11 being criticized in his previous life.

Everyone thought S12 would be an improvement, but no one expected the bearded designer to drop such a huge turd.

Various major Synergies were so weak they were pathetic.

If it hadn’t been for the emergency buff to the skills of 5-cost units before launch, the 5-cost units would have been roasted to the heavens as well.

More importantly... is Sugarcraft really an entertainment Synergy that a human brain could come up with?

There was even a saying circulating online.

If you say the Sn season is fun, I don’t really agree.

But if you bash Sugarcraft, then we are friends!

...

”Huh, what is Shen Mo still looking at? Why isn’t he picking a unit?”

”Yeah, time is almost up. If he doesn’t pick a unit soon, he definitely won’t be able to beat the monsters later!”

”Could it be that he’s too nervous about being on stage for the first time and forgot to pick a unit?”

Watching the time bar begin to count down.

Netizens within the Dragon Country began to get restless.

...

”Haha, is this the mental fortitude of a Dragon Country contestant? It cracks me up. Go home and find your mommy!”

”This is the first time I’ve seen a contestant not buy a unit when entering the arena. Is he planning to enter the fight himself?”

”Oh, my God, that’s a good idea.”

...

”Old Man Li, what’s the situation?” The square-faced elder, Zhang Zhiwei, looked grave.

He was the person in charge of the nation’s golden spatula battles this time, and also the one who first proposed the theory that ’Wukong’ was powerful, though his theory failed—the Three-Star Wukong lost to the Three-Star Neeko.

”I don’t know either...”

Old Man Li was also a bit dumbfounded now. With his short temper, he hurriedly urged the technician: ”Send a message to Shen Mo, tell him to pick a unit, don’t let other countries make a joke out of us!”

The technician felt like crying at this moment: ”I’ve already sent it, Old Man Li, but Shen Mo doesn’t seem to be looking at his personal backend. All the messages sent earlier are still in an unread state...”

A sudden, ominous premonition struck Old Man Li’s heart.

”Then the ’Three-Star Neeko’ strategy we discussed earlier, he hasn’t seen that either?”

The technician was on the verge of tears and nodded slowly.

It’s over!

Old Man Li only felt the world go black before his eyes, his head spinning!

...

With the familiar feeling from his previous life, Shen Mo quickly entered the zone.

He didn’t notice at all that the time was ticking away bit by bit.

”Such a familiar feeling... Sigh, it’s so good. What should I play this game... How about Syndra? Want to learn about the meta cancer? Hmm, no, no, I still have to check the stats.”

”In case Syndra was heavily nerfed, then there’s no point in playing her, although she’s still very strong... Unless she comes early enough, Syndra still needs to stack layers, and startup items are indispensable.”

”Let’s see what the monsters drop first. A spear of shojin would be nice... Hmm, that’s it, let’s fight the monsters first!”

Having made his decision.

Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze toward the arena beneath his feet.

But the next second, he froze.

Wait!

Where are my units?

What about the units given at the start?

Normally, at the start of every game, you would get a 1-cost unit to ensure you could beat the first wave of monsters. But after Shen Mo looked around carefully, he was stunned to find... there were really no units!

Do I have to buy them myself?

Shen Mo lowered his gaze and sure enough, saw an eye-catching... 1 gold coin in the gold bar!

No way?

Shen Mo subconsciously glanced at the time... the countdown, 00:02!

Holy crap!

Shen Mo’s scalp instantly exploded! There was no time to think; his single-for-twenty-years hand speed was pushed to the max!
