National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

49: Chapter 50 The Second Chance to Play Against God: The Secrets of That Year!”Hiss...”

Shen Mo gasped, looking at the strange blood-red ring on his hand, feeling a bit numb!

What is this?

These damn ’deities’ are watching me! This is the devil watching me, right!

The audience in the livestream was also stunned.

”Wait, how does this reward come with a price? And you can’t even refuse the price... Is this a reward or a punishment?”

”Shh! Keep your voice down! The gods are watching you, do you want to die?”

”Damn! Can’t even let people speak!”

The Dragon Country audience was unhappy. Shen Mo had high prestige now, and they were all family, so they definitely had to speak up for him!

”So just a naming right is it? And we still have to play a game of chess against the ’deities’! What kind of ghost reward is this!”

”Playing against the gods! Sounds exciting!”

”Exciting my ass! Have you forgotten...”

The slightly older viewers turned pale; they were witnesses to the events of that year and were also in the know.

The matter of Long Chen was still fresh in their minds, and now Dragon Country had finally produced a Shen Mo.

Was the fate of that year going to repeat itself?

Eleven years!

Back then, Long Chen played against the gods and lost everything, and Dragon Country paid the price for a full eleven years!

Technology was blockaded.

The economy was surpassed.

If not for the border soldiers fighting bloody battles, even the national territory would have been carved up by the Western Countries!

Under such dire circumstances, Dragon Country held on!

They were waiting, waiting for an opportunity!

Now that opportunity had appeared, and it was Shen Mo!

But reality had dealt Dragon Country a heavy blow again! It was the attention of the ’deities’ again!

Many people’s eyes turned red.

A hint of resentment appeared as they looked toward the Gods Arena.

Why!

...

Northern Plains Command Post!

Old Man Li slowly lowered his head and picked up the tea mug from the floor. His expression was calm. This time, he did not fly into a rage; he just turned around calmly, found his chair, and sat down.

”I do not wish for the events of eleven years ago to repeat.”

Zhang Zhiwei’s expression changed.

He was familiar with Old Man Li. Don’t let the old man’s temper fool you; he might be very irritable, but in reality, Old Man Li was the type of person who was meticulous despite his rough exterior. He wouldn’t care about trivial matters.

But if one day, Old Man Li spoke to you very calmly... it meant that this person was truly angry!

And the price of Old Man Li’s anger was definitely going to be lethal!

Zhang Zhiwei’s face twitched. He wanted to say something, but Old Man Li’s sharp, murderous gaze instantly fixed on him: ”I am not joking with you. Long Chen was my student back then. Haven’t you harmed him enough!”

”I’m laying it out here today! I couldn’t protect Long Chen back then, but this kid Shen Mo, I, this old man, will protect!”

”Anyone, any interests, I don’t want this child to know about them!”

”Tell those people... insatiable greed will get people killed!”

The conference room fell into silence.

The matter of Long Chen was the eternal pain of these old generals!

But in truth... there were some secrets involved. When Long Chen obtained the opportunity to ’play against the gods’ back then, some people in the country couldn’t sit still. They thought this was an opportunity for Dragon Country to rise.

They believed that winning points from the Gods Arena to exchange for resources was too slow!

How good it would be to play against the gods!

Getting what they wanted directly from the hands of the deities was much faster than fighting match after match!

So they kept pressuring Long Chen, kept moral-kidnapping him, until Long Chen wagered everything...

If not for these people, Long Chen might have lost, but he wouldn’t have ended up with nothing.

And Dragon Country wouldn’t have been unable to catch its breath for a full eleven years!

Now the second opportunity had arrived!

Shen Mo had once again gained the opportunity to play against the gods!

Old Man Li worried that these people, who had already lost their minds, would put even greater pressure on Shen Mo! After all... this time they didn’t just want to win; they wanted to recoup what was lost last time. If these people were allowed to act, what Shen Mo would face would be unimaginable!

”Old Li, this isn’t good. They are all founding heroes of our Dragon Country...”

”Founding heroes my ass! Damn it!”

Old Man Li flew into a rage instantly!
