13: Chapter 013 News Spreads! The Much-Anticipated Second Round of Matchmaking!

One hour passed very quickly.

In that hour, a piece of news that shocked everyone spread from Dragon Country!

Sakura Country and Korea teamed up to intercept the Dragon Country representative, Shen Mo. Shen Mo used a Gold Duel Card to forcibly sign a gambling agreement with the other party, and the points involved in this bet reached a staggering 50 National Destiny Points!

The rules of the Gold Duel Card were exposed!

Shen Mo is the bookmaker; if he loses the match, he has to pay out a staggering 100 points! There are even rumors that Shen Mo is planning to decide the outcome in one go, and the next stage of the match will definitely use the Super Multiplier!

This means that once Shen Mo wins, the points he earns will reach a terrifying number!

148 points!

People who heard this news felt their scalps tingle; they could hardly believe their ears!

They swarmed the internet to discuss it, asking around everywhere, wanting to know if this news was true or false!

As public opinion fermented!

The Dragon Country officials stepped in personally and confirmed the accuracy of the news!

It was true!

This time, Shen Mo was ready to go all in!

...

"The people of Dragon Country have gone crazy! They are courting death, hahaha!"

"It must be that the pressure from our Empire of Sakura on the Dragon Country people is too great, forcing them to make a desperate last stand."

"Sodesune, after all, the next one to appear is Yotsuki Kami, he is the pride of our Sakura Country!"

"The secret Jax hidden for a year, that Dragon Country kid is dead for sure!"

"Please, Yotsuki Kami, don't show any mercy! I want to see that Dragon Country kid kneeling on the ground in pain!"

The citizens of Sakura Country were ecstatic upon receiving this news!

They clamored crazily on the internet!

The citizens of Korea had already started popping champagne.

"Very good, the arrogant Dragon Country people are courting death; they are not far from national destruction."

"Kim Soo-jun will be the most powerful existence!"

"Is this a gambler's mentality? The young people of Dragon Country should be educated properly, they should learn from our Korea!"

"Korea does not acknowledge Shen Mo's bloodline!"

...

The news spread.

Everyone thought the netizens of Dragon Country would be desperate and curse Shen Mo.

But in fact.

At this moment, the Dragon Country netizens were eerily collectively silent!

How should I describe this feeling?

It's like one day you find out you won 5,000 yuan in the lottery; you might be very excited, very thrilled, and can't wait to post it on social media to tell the world...

But then you look closely, holy crap! It's not 5,000 yuan, it's 50 million!

And so, you are stunned.

Stunned, with a hint of numbness, and with a hint of unreality in that numbness.

It's like being drunk; everything in front of you is separated by a veil, and your senses start to become dull.

Someone seemed to be speaking in a 'Sage Mode', their tone calm beyond belief, "Objectively analyzing, if Shen Mo wins, won't our Dragon Country make a direct comeback? 148 points, that's enough to pay off the previous debts, right?"

"Indeed, it's a 50/50 chance of winning or losing."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

"Shen Mo won a round before, so his odds of winning should be higher, maybe 60/40."

"Agreed."

"Shen Mo's previous lineup was very strong, let's add a bit more, 70/30."

"The country was able to come out and promote it, there must be a secret Jax, I think 80/20."

Several 'sages' quietly began to discuss.

Then more and more 'sages' joined this atmosphere.

Everyone spoke without a trace of agitation, quietly, as if afraid to break this atmosphere.

Until a crying girl appeared, "Wuwuwu... will we lose?"

The atmosphere at the scene was broken.

Countless numb eyes, those self-deceiving words, instantly lost their color!

The real sound of crying was like a muffled thunder, exploding in the hearts of countless Dragon Country people! Their eyes regained their color, their stiff bodies and limbs became flexible again, and their eyes regained their luster.

Almost at the same time, countless people suddenly raised their heads and looked above the dome of the Gods Arena!

There was a figure there.

He had his back to the crowd and spoke lightly: "The second round of matching, begin!"

...

Gods Arena, noise and clamor arose.

Shen Mo walked out of the selection area and stepped onto the columns made of eight steel pillars.

Following his final confirmation.

The referee's cold voice rang out: "Gods Arena Third District, Match 130, the match begins!"

[Matching in progress...]

[Ding! Sakura Country, Yotsuki Kami, joins the battlefield!]

[Ding! Korea, Kim Soo-jun, joins the battlefield!]

[Ding! India, Odyssey, joins the battlefield!]

[Ding! Eagle Country, Cynas, joins the battlefield!]

The notification sounds rang out, two familiar figures appeared first, followed by one figure after another emerging on the metal high platform. They looked at the environment, and the moment they saw Shen Mo, their expressions changed.

Shen Mo was not affected at all, grinned, and began to silently size up his opponents.

Hmm... wearing a turban, dark skin, this guy should be Odyssey, from India... speaking of which, what is your relationship with the banana-hauling Aodebiao? Could it be a cousin?

Eagle Country, Cynas, this figure is not bad!

Wait!

Is this foreign chick winking at me?

Shen Mo's expression changed.

He immediately turned his head and stopped looking that way. This thing... is golden from head to toe, can you handle this?

I can't handle it, I can't handle it.

Next.

The notifications continued to ring.

[Ding! Glacier Country, Gremory, joins the battlefield!]

Very good.

A middle-aged man with no special features.

Next.

[Ding! Philippines, Solang, joins the battlefield!]

A tall, sturdy man with thick chest hair... hmm, the expression on his face is quite confident, but why does he look so gay? You're only wearing boxer shorts to fight?

Could it be that you think chest hair is very sexy?

Next, next.

[Ding! Persia, Karin, joins the battlefield!]

Oh, this is a pretty girl, not bad, not bad, Tool Man Number One is you.

Tool Man Number Two, to be decided!

...

...

Shen Mo calmly observed his opponents while also thinking about the strategy for this round.

Tool men definitely need to be found. This time, Sakura Country and Korea have already touched his bottom line, and he doesn't plan to let these two guys off easily... whatever bullshit genius contestants, they all have to die!

Anyway!

When you're out and about, you have to be reasonable.

He was steadily earning points to pay off his debts, and those two idiots should have just gone off to do whatever they wanted, but they insisted on looking for trouble and staged some sniper battle, treating him like a soft persimmon.

Shen Mo didn't want to indulge their bad habits.

Want to play?

Then let's play a big one!

Find three tool men, and I'll make sure you two so-called geniuses won't even make it to the top four! By then, not only will you have to pay the 50 National Destiny Points, but you won't even be able to eat the match points!

As for whether it's hard to achieve?

Heh!

That's because you don't understand what a version-breaking cancer is!

[Matching complete, please prepare, contestants.]

[Please choose whether to multiply!]

"Super Multiplier!"

[Selection successful, seven players chose not to multiply!]

[Dragon Country, Shen Mo chose Super Multiplier!]

[Gods Arena match, countdown: 3, 2, 1... Start!]
