36: Chapter 36 A New World in the Land of Cherry Blossoms, Miss Hoshimi!

"What the hell!"

As soon as Shen Mo finished speaking, the entire livestream chat fell instantly silent!

The viewers from India were like ducks with their throats grabbed; they were flushed red, but didn't dare to say a word.

Damn!

They just remembered, this guy Shen Mo isn't someone to be trifled with!

The last ones to provoke Shen Mo, South Korea and Sakura Country, still haven't recovered. Yotsuki Kami is even suffering from nationwide cyberbullying; I heard some citizens of Sakura Country are blocking his front door, demanding he commit seppuku to apologize.

And that Gold Card... why can it still be used?!

The Indian viewers couldn't accept it: "Shen Mo actually dares to threaten our India, we'll fight him to the death!"

Eagle Country: "We support India fighting him to the death!"

USA: "+1!"

Sakura Country: "No problem, can you really tolerate this?"

India perked up and shouted: "Good! Is there anyone joining us to snipe Shen Mo?!"

Eagle Country: "..."

USA: "I suddenly remembered, I still have pork ribs stewing at home..."

Sakura Country: "Has Yotsuki-kun not committed seppuku yet? I'll go check."

The viewers from Dragon Country burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, what happened to the promised international support? How did you turn to stewing pork ribs in the blink of an eye? What happened to the promised brotherhood?"

"USA: I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Oh, stewing pork ribs is normal, we need to replenish some energy. After all, sniping Shen Mo is a protracted war, we need to be well-fed!"

The Indian viewers couldn't hold it anymore; it turns out they were just a joke the whole time!

These major powers are more insidious than the last!

...

The match ended.

Karin quickly came to Shen Mo's side; she had also seen the clamoring from India just now.

"Shen Mo, are you going to use the Gold Card?"

"Use it my ass, I'm just scaring them."

"..."

Shen Mo snorted, and seeing that India didn't dare to act presumptuously again, he put the card away.

This Gold Card cannot be used casually. There were only three chances in total. Long Chen used it once back then, and last time when Sakura Country and South Korea teamed up, Shen Mo used it again. Now, only the last chance remains.

Of course, he has to wait until a critical moment to take it out.

The card's quality is already 'Extremely Damaged'.

Shen Mo estimated that if he used it one more time, this card would be completely ruined... Of course, there's another possibility that the card would downgrade again, but either way, this card is considered wasted.

And more importantly, having this thing in his hand is more effective than using it directly!

He is now infamous, and this thing is a nuclear weapon!

Whoever he is unhappy with, he just takes it out and waves it around, guaranteeing the other party will be trembling in fear.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Karin asked: "Shen Mo... are we still going to fight?"

Shen Mo didn't think much about it and nodded: "Fight! Continue matching! Uh... wait a second, let me check the points first."

The light blue light screen opened.

[Rank 39: Dragon Country, National Destiny Points: 344!]

Not bad!

Rushed to 39th place!

Shen Mo's face lit up with joy. After more than half a month of point-rushing, he finally got Dragon Country's ranking up. According to Shen Mo's original plan, even if he maintained a winning streak, it would still take about another week to enter the top 30!

India is a good person!

Traveling a thousand miles to deliver kills—the gift is light, but the affection is heavy!

These 48 points are too critical!

What?

You ask why it's 48 points?

Hehe.

...

"Continue! We can match 5 times a day, we still have 3 chances left, let's rush some more points!"

Shen Mo was in high spirits. Old Man Li had said that this edition of the Gods Arena is expected to end in October. At most, he still has over a month. Wanting to rush from 39th place into the top ten is still a bit tight.

It wasn't tight originally.

As it turned out, maybe because Shen Mo and Karin were farming points too efficiently, a few days ago, the Gods Arena released a rule. The rule content was very simple: it placed a limit on the number of times the unconditional multiplier option could be used.

Originally, one could choose to multiply 5 times a day.

Now, one can only choose once a day!

And if you choose 'Super Multiplier', you cannot choose 'Multiplier', and vice versa.

This caused the speed of Shen Mo's point increase to slow down significantly!

So for the past few days, Shen Mo has basically been playing all 5 matches every day.

...

"Forget it, don't think so much, rushing points is the most important thing!"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Shen Mo entered the Gods Arena again.

[Gods Arena, Third District, Match 295 begins!]

[...]

As time passed.

Shen Mo used a Kassadin combo to win the match without suspense.

[Gods Arena, Third District, Match 295 ends!]

[Winner: Dragon Country, Shen Mo!]

[Ranking change!]

[Rank 37: Dragon Country, National Destiny Points: 356!]

"Continue!"

[Gods Arena, Third District, Match 298 begins!]

[...]

...

Sakura Country, Cangjing District.

In a quiet courtyard, cherry blossoms were in full bloom and a stream flowed around; it had a very unique charm. In the innermost room for receiving guests, Furukawa sat respectfully in his seat.

"Lord Mishima, is Miss Hoshimi still taking a nap?"

Mishima Yoshito, wearing a plaid bathrobe, looked lazy, but his eyes carried the arrogance of a superior: "Furukawa, Miss Hoshimi is very tired. Sakura Country has fallen into a crisis; this is your responsibility. You shouldn't let Miss Hoshimi be so exhausted."

"Hai!"

Furukawa looked guilty: "It was my decision-making error that led Sakura Country into crisis. I came this time to thank Miss Hoshimi for the contributions she has made to Sakura Country during this period!"

Mishima snorted coldly: "What is that Yotsuki Kami doing?"

Furukawa said awkwardly: "...Recently, the domestic public has been criticizing Yotsuki-kun, and I have already ordered him to reflect behind closed doors."

"Put away your little schemes!"

Mishima smiled disdainfully: "Yotsuki Kami is your person after all. He made a mistake, and you want to shield him, but you have no idea that Miss Hoshimi's magnanimity is not something a worldly person like you can understand!"

"Miss Hoshimi said to let Yotsuki Kami come to Cangjing District; she will personally guide Yotsuki Kami's chess skills."

"If that kid is smart enough, Miss Hoshimi is even willing to lead him into... the New World."

Furukawa widened his eyes, unable to believe his ears for a moment: "Mi... Lord Mishima, are you saying... Miss Hoshimi is willing to bring Yotsuki-kun into the New World?"

"I will not repeat the same words a second time."

Furukawa was stunned.

Immediately after, he was overjoyed!

As Sakura Country's top-secret organization, the internal selection for the New World is almost extremely strict! Being able to enter the 'New World' means that this player's talent and strength are at the absolute peak level!

Although the overall organization is somewhat similar to USA's 'Genius Club', Furukawa knows that no one has joined the New World for a long time... Miss Hoshimi, who turned the tide and saved Sakura Country this time, was the newcomer who joined the New World three years ago!

"Hai! I will go back right now and tell Yotsuki-kun this good news!"

The excitement on Furukawa's face could no longer be suppressed.

However, he hesitated a little before leaving, turned around and asked: "Um... Lord Mishima, may I ask how many personal points Miss Hoshimi has accumulated?"
