117: Chapter 118 This bond isn't difficult to form; it only requires 10 job changes!

Immediately after, a bold idea suddenly popped up, and his expression turned strange: "How about... I go for a Kassadin + Galio + Syndra + Nilah + Mordekaiser + Ezreal + Nami + Ryze + Taric + Briar comp?"

"It forms at level 10, so it's not that difficult..."

"Anyway, I have 'High Voltage' as a safety net, I'll synthesize all equipment for the front line, and it doesn't matter if I have a main carry in the mid-game. As long as there are enough Ionic Sparks, the damage won't be low..."

"This way, I can fully preserve my economy and save up interest, then just push to level 10 when the time comes."

"It's doable!"

"Theoretically formed, time to put it into practice!"

Shen Mo felt energized and prepared to go for it!

This was a team composition he saw from a troll streamer in his past life—Ten Demon Gods and Ten Dimensions!

The Synergy composition isn't hard... it just requires 10 emblems to form!

Although he bet all his points on this game, Shen Mo wasn't making an impulsive decision; he was confident. One source of his confidence was that he already had 9 emblems in this game, so he only needed one more to have enough.

There were too many ways to get a golden spatula.

Starting from Stage 3, the Staff had a chance to directly refresh a golden spatula.

There was also a chance to get one from the carousel.

Plus, there was also a chance for monsters to drop one.

So, he basically didn't have to worry about the last golden spatula.

As for the team strength, Shen Mo decided on a three-step plan to ensure victory while steadily advancing!

After all, the respected great man once said: All enemies are paper tigers, but we must still be humble and prudent!

We can despise the enemy strategically, but we must take them seriously tactically!

Shen Mo felt that he was taking it very seriously.

Therefore.

The first step is to ensure he has 3 Demon God emblems!

The second step is to buy 4 1-cost pieces to hold 2 golden spatulas + 2 Giant Belts!

The third step is to chase for Ten Dimensions!

This way, he could ensure he had 10 Demon Gods, and if his health wasn't enough to chase Ten Dimensions, he could directly use 2 golden spatulas to craft a Tactician's Crown.

He could force 10 Demon Gods at level 9 to lock his health!

He had the 'School Mascot' passive item card; with a Volibear equipped with three Radiant items on the field, even if the opponent had a 3-star 5-cost unit, they would be rubbed into the ground. After all, the lightning damage from 10 Demon Gods was too high!

It was even higher than Xerath's "Dust to Dust, Earth to Earth"!

Not to mention having a Volibear with three Radiant items, which basically counted as half a 3-star 5-cost unit!

"Equipment, transition, economy, safety net—I've considered everything. Now the only issue is the population!"

Shen Mo muttered to himself: "However, it doesn't seem to be too big of a problem..."

In the last match against that Bae Soo-hyun, Shen Mo discovered that the damage characters dealt to the enemy in this arena match was reduced; it seemed like Gods Arena had implemented some kind of balance!

Otherwise, in a normal 8-player battle, there would theoretically be a possibility where the participants Shen Mo and Lena both won, meaning there would be a round where neither of them lost health.

But 1v1 is not like that; in 1v1, either Shen Mo loses health, or Lena loses health.

The game process would be accelerated!

But in reality, when Shen Mo fought Bae Soo-hyun, they dragged the game all the way to the late stage.

This made Shen Mo realize that the damage characters dealt to the enemy had been reduced!

"1v1 character damage to the enemy is reduced, but the Prismatic Hextech 'Ambition' still restores 3 health upon leveling up and hasn't been reduced to 2. In this way, does that count as a disguised buff?"

Shen Mo's mind was crystal clear at this moment!

That's it!

He suddenly realized a problem: there was something wrong with this Gods Arena! It had been there from the beginning!

It wasn't fair!

For example, the overpowered pieces, the overpowered Hextech, and the overpowered competition!

"'Ambition' is overpowered, but what about Tiny Titans? Is Tiny Titans also overpowered?"

"Increasing your own health and the health of the opponent with the highest health by 30 points—this seems like it doesn't change anything, but what if it's combined with 'Fortune Favors the Brave'? Don't forget, 1v1 has built-in damage reduction against the enemy!!!"

"Isn't this clearly an overpowered Hextech?"

The more Shen Mo thought about it, the more excited he became. He had realized that he might have found a bug that couldn't exactly be called a bug!

The rules were reasonable.

It was only the result that was unreasonable!

...

"What is that guy Shen Mo grinning about again!"

In the USA team, a burly man frowned: "Boss, this guy is clearly about to lose, yet he still looks so indifferent. In my opinion, he's just all show. That game where he won against Bae Soo-hyun was probably just luck!"

"Luck? That's not it..." Bernini smiled very gently and even pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He spoke indifferently, but with an unquestionable tone: "No one understands luck... better than I do!"

"Just watch, in this game, Lena might not necessarily be able to beat this kid."

"Huh?!"

The burly man Gabor was shocked; he didn't quite understand how the boss could tell!

Although Bernini was the boss of the Genius Club, well...

Gabor still felt that with Lena holding such a strong advantage, it would be hard for her to lose the match, right?

Bernini didn't speak again.

Behind him.

Charlie smiled and said: "Gabor, how about we make a bet? If Lena loses today, you give me 1 million USD. If Lena wins, I give you 1 million USD!"

"Sure!"

The burly man Gabor laughed and agreed without any hesitation.

For those of them in the Genius Club, 1 million USD meant nothing. A bet like this... winning or losing was as simple as who was treating whom to a meal.

"Interesting..." Bernini smiled: "Count me in."

"Boss, you want to bet too?"

Gabor grinned. He was the type who loved to watch the excitement. Although he called him 'Boss', he was actually quite confident in his own strength, and calling him 'Boss' was more like a catchphrase.

Bernini smiled gently.

"Of course, but my bet is... if Lena wins, I give you 20 million USD. If Lena loses, the qualification to challenge Shen Mo tomorrow goes to me. I will go up myself!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Both Charlie and Gabor's bodies jolted violently!

It wasn't because they were shocked by the 20 million USD stake Bernini proposed, but because of the latter!

Bernini, the founder of the Genius Club!

Was actually going to play in person!!!

"I know, I wasn't on the original challenge list. For the 7-day competition, besides Lena, the ones arranged after were you, Charlie, Nash, Chris..."

"But I suddenly became interested. I want to see for myself if this successor of Long Chen is really as amazing as they say!"

"Of course..."

"I also want to give him a... lesson he'll never forget!"

Once he finished speaking, the whole room was shocked!

Charlie was even trembling with excitement!

No one knew how strong Bernini was, but his status within the club was special, as he needed to constantly bring in new blood every year, so he knew a little bit!

Bernini had been fighting in the Second District for ten years, and his current rank was among the top ten in the entire Second District!

What kind of concept was that?!

In the Heavens and Myriad Clans ladder ranking, Bernini was ranked ninth!
