National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

4: Chapter 004 The dilapidated Arena of Gods, contestants from various countries with no visible bonds!A Staff appeared!

But... ”What the hell is this!” Shen Mo’s eyes widened. On the far right of the purchase shop, a Staff with a blood-red background had appeared, but the original description page for the Staff was... completely blank!

Shen Mo was stunned!

What does this mean?

No description for the Staff? Does this thing rely entirely on guessing?

This is the ultimate gambling move, right!

Fortunately, this crappy Gods Arena wasn’t too excessive; at least it marked the purchase price of the Staff... 0 gold coins. That’s finally somewhat useful... yeah, right! Dammit! This Staff is basically 0 gold coins in the early game anyway!

Shen Mo nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Confirmed.

This Gods Arena is definitely messed up!

...

In the livestream chat.

Many netizens had already noticed Shen Mo’s unusual behavior and were scratching their heads, guessing.

”Huh, Shen Mo seems to have been staring at the Staff for a long time. Does he want to buy it? What kind of tactic is this?”

”Tactic my ass! I think he’s just stupid. People have already bought the Staff and tried it; it’s useless.”

”Some Staffs give one gold coin, some give a free refresh, and others give nothing at all!”

”I heard that some poor guy from India bought a Staff and bought himself into an early death... hilarious!”

”Buying a Staff can kill you?”

”Who knows, maybe he bought a fake one...”

...

Dragon Country secret base.

Zhang Zhiwei sighed and slowly shook his head: ”The Staff is useless... We previously formulated a strategy targeting the Staff, but it seems the economy it provides is very limited and doesn’t help much with victory. Little Shen has fallen into a misunderstanding!”

”Could it be a price issue? After all, the higher the price, the better the item might be?”

Someone raised a question.

Zhang Zhiwei still shook his head: ”The previous contestant bought a 12 gold coin Staff in the late game, which summoned a giant dragon. What did we think at the time? Weren’t we overjoyed?”

”But reality slapped us in the face!”

”That giant dragon only lasted for one round! Then it disappeared!”

Mentioning this, everyone fell silent.

Indeed.

Based on current research, the Staff is indeed useless, at most providing a tiny economic advantage.

And it’s extremely limited!

They had heard about the case where the contestant from India bought a Staff and met an early end. Because of this, countries had become wary of the Staff, fearing that instead of getting a bargain, they would buy themselves into an early grave!

...

”So ka! Tiny Dragon Country, laughable, they couldn’t even beat Xiongya Country!”

”Already seventh place? Expected!”

”Oh? The piece he picked up actually formed a hidden item! Ah... it’s the ’Crown’! We in the great Sakura Country have researched this item; its effect isn’t as good as imagined. The Dragon Country is truly foolish!”

...

Arena Stage 2-7!

Shen Mo leveled up, increasing his maximum number of units on the board to 5.

His current units on the board were... [Faerie - Lillia], [Faerie - Tristana], [Faerie - Seraphine], [Faerie - Katarina], [Honeymancy - Nunu]!

[4 Faerie + 2 Bastion]!

”This is fine. This Synergy can easily beat Malphite. It’s just that the quality this game isn’t high. Up until now, all the Faeries are one-star; I can’t even get a free two-star...”

Seventh place... hmm, no big deal!

Shen Mo looked at the situation on the field casually, not paying much attention. At this moment, he... had completely calmed down! Big heart!

That’s just how Shen Mo was. On the surface, he might seem happy-go-lucky and cynical, but when real trouble hit, he would immediately become calm and analyze the situation on the field.

This was a battle involving national destiny!

Although everything was so bizarre, Shen Mo forced himself to accept this setting. He didn’t want to ask why, but rather analyze as much as possible how to use these advantages to win!

Shen Mo’s thoughts raced like lightning.

”There’s a huge problem with this Gods Arena!”

”This is definitely S12! The Synergy of the pieces on the field confirms this, but first! The setting where you get free units at the start is gone; you have to buy them manually. Of course, that’s not a big problem...”

”The bigger problem is the Staff... and the items!”
