12: Chapter 012 A Cunning Strategy! I'll Be a Trendsetter in Setting an Example for the Environment!

Black hair, the bloodline inherited from Huaxia.

Having transmigrated to this world, Shen Mo did not hesitate at all. This was a palpitation from deep within his bones that he could feel even in a foreign land—a touch of red, a red dyed in blood.

This world was so absurd that it actually required him to step up.

But, so what!

In his past life, amidst Huaxia's five thousand years of history, it wasn't his turn to take the stage. But now, in this world, Dragon Country was in imminent danger, its foundations crumbling.

Even if burdened with ruin, he was willing to exhaust his very last drop of blood!

"New grudges and old hatreds, past lives and the present—back then, they severed the heads of our forefathers, burning, killing, looting, and committing every evil, only to surrender with a laugh in the end... Heh, some people seem to have forgotten what it looks like when heads roll on the ground."

"Back then, our equipment was inferior to theirs, but now they still want to destroy my Dragon Country. I, Shen Mo, would like to see whose head will roll on the ground this time!"

Memories of his past life surged forth like scorching magma.

At this moment, Shen Mo slowly closed his eyes and slammed down on that blood-red button!

[Beep! Connecting...]

Dragon Country's secret command base!

Inside the dark conference room, all the elders wore solemn expressions, their gazes fixed on the large screen in the center. On it was a young man standing straight, his eyes seemingly burning with flames.

He was so confident, his blood so fervent.

Even separated by ten thousand miles, these elders could feel that young man's heart beating with fanaticism!

"Dragon Country, Shen Mo, reporting!"

"Comrade Shen Mo, do you know your next mission?" A deep voice rang out. It wasn't Old Man Li speaking, nor was it the combat commander Zhang Zhiwei, but the person at the head of the conference table... Chief No. 1!

"At all costs, achieve victory!"

"Very good!"

Chief No. 1's tone was firm: "Speak, what help do you need?"

Before Shen Mo connected the video, Old Man Li had already provided a brief report, so they were well aware of the pressure this young man before them was shouldering! And the courage he possessed!

Victory! To save the crumbling edifice! To wipe away the shame of Dragon Country's twelve consecutive defeats!

Defeat! All blame would fall upon him! Scorned by the masses, Dragon Country would be dragged into the abyss by him alone!

Yet, despite this, not a single person in the conference room raised an objection; no one had any dissent! They gazed at the youth with burning eyes, watching the fervent flames consuming his pupils.

No one doubted him.

At this moment, how the youth hoped that Dragon Country could achieve victory in his hands!

And he, indeed, possessed the strength to do so!

Facing a situation where one foot was already in the abyss, Chief No. 1's calmness was enough to terrify the enemy. His tone remained unchanged, as if all these difficulties had never existed!

He could even calmly utter the words—'What help do you need?'

The subtext meant... No matter what, the motherland will be behind you; do as you see fit.

Shen Mo took a deep breath.

A feeling called 'trust' surged in his chest. He spoke in a deep voice: "First, for this gamble, I need Dragon Country to help me publicize it extensively. Time is limited, and the bigger the exposure, the better!"

"I need more people to pay attention to this gamble!"

The conference room suddenly fell into a dead silence!

Some were already starting to swallow hard, looking at the youth before them in shock.

Continuing to expand the influence... wouldn't that mean everyone would know this gamble was entirely his doing, and that he was the one who dragged Dragon Country to the edge of the abyss... Public opinion is terrifying; this kind of pressure could crush a person!

Chief No. 1 spoke calmly: "Continue."

"After this match, I estimate many countries will study my lineup, or even guess and pry for various information. I hope Dragon Country will not stop this and just let the news spread."

"When necessary, you can even proactively disclose the chess pieces used in my lineup..."

This...

Many frowned, not quite understanding Shen Mo's intention.

Every lineup represents foundation and hard work!

Let the news spread, and even proactively tell others how to use this lineup of yours?

They all understood... Shen Mo likely had a trump card lineup he hadn't revealed yet for the upcoming matches, and this lineup was the key to winning the entire competition. Such an important matter... and he wanted to spread it casually?

Chief No. 1 looked at Shen Mo deeply: "You want to use their own strength against them?"

Shen Mo grinned: "Exactly. There is no absolute lineup. Once the attention is up, many lineups can't be hidden even if you want to. Once used, they will definitely be studied and imitated by others; this is something we cannot stop."

"Instead of that, we might as well leak it out. Since we've already won the match, let the deluge come; if the country can fish for some benefits because of this, it can be considered a subsidy for national use."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Many were amused to the point of laughter: "This kid... sacrificing his own foundation to subsidize the state, huh."

Shen Mo had actually realized long ago that this so-called Gods Arena was a bit like the early seasons of the golden spatula from his past life, where the attributes of various chess pieces were extremely overpowered, the kind found in beta testing.

Coupled with the lack of equipment descriptions, the lack of Staff descriptions, and the lack of chess piece Synergy information.

He even suspected that this Gods Arena was a knock-off!

Under these circumstances, the appearance of a toxic gambling lineup would inevitably trigger countries to scramble to imitate it. The entire competitive environment of the Gods Arena would change because of Shen Mo's appearance!

His strategy was very simple!

Instead of guessing what lineup the enemy will use, why not lead this trend myself!

I will clearly tell you which lineup is strong, which lineup can win the match!

Will you use it or not?

You won't?

Fine, then others will use it, and you will get crushed. I ask you, is that uncomfortable or not?

But if you do use it... sorry, I will turn around and bring out a system that counters this lineup, beating you until you cry for your parents. And by the time you study the one I have, I will have changed again!

This was the goal Shen Mo wanted to achieve!

The current Gods Arena was very unfriendly. With various data missing, countries were all researching high-cost cards, not seeking Synergy, but directly pursuing single-card quality—3-star 3-cost, 3-star 4-cost...

Shen Mo was afraid of failing. Don't fucking let him manage the whole game only for someone to chase a 3-star 5-cost!

Then what's the point of playing!

Don't say it isn't possible; with so many teams globally chasing single-card quality, this kind of thing was possible! With this golden spatula thing, who doesn't have a lucky moment?

So this was Shen Mo's "bright conspiracy"!

You want to play, right!

Fine!

Follow the rhythm I'm familiar with!

It looks like he is giving you a sweet cake that you can grab just by reaching out.

In reality, he had long hidden the sharp blade to cut the cake.

"Fine, I represent Dragon Country in agreeing to your request."

Chief No. 1 gave him great trust. His expression was indifferent as he spoke softly: "Anything else? Say it all at once."

Shen Mo scratched his head embarrassedly: "Um... if I win this time, can I be allowed to manage the extra points myself? I want to exchange for a few item cards..."

Shen Mo had been coveting them for a long time!

For example, that 'match locking card' is good stuff!

In the future, whoever I don't like, I'll just throw one at them. I'll match with you every single time and piss you off!

A rare smile appeared on Chief No. 1's calm face: "If you win, you will be a hero of Dragon Country. The points... are yours to decide."

Hearing this, Shen Mo was overjoyed!

With a snap, he stood at attention!

"Yes! Chief! I guarantee I will complete the mission!"
