47: Chapter 48 A Close Call, Ten Dimensions Emerge! The Northern Expedition Begins!

Time passed bit by bit. At this moment, the torment was not just for Shen Mo, but also for the audience of the Dragon Country!

[ Stage 5-6, the match begins! ]

[ Dragon Country vs. Sakura Country! The match begins! ]

As the referee's cold voice fell, the hearts of the Dragon Country audience were tightly clenched!

Shen Mo ran into Sakura Country again!

It's over!

Countless people saw darkness before their eyes!

Right now, Hoshimi Sakura's side was at its absolute strongest!

Sure enough!

A few seconds later!

Under Hoshimi Sakura's powerful two-star Ryze, Shen Mo, who had 30 health points, was immediately dealt a massive blow!

Only a pitiful 6 health points remained!

The Dragon Country audience couldn't hold it together anymore, and some emotional ones even shed tears on the spot!

"Wuwuwu, I don't dare to watch anymore. Is Shen Mo going to lose? Only 6 health points! One more loss and it's all over!"

"What on earth is Shen Mo doing! Why isn't he rolling for cards yet?!"

At this point, even the most composed viewers could no longer remain calm.

Sakura Country was mocking!

The Stick Country was chiming in!

Western Countries were watching the spectacle; everything was so noisy!

Shen Mo… was already on the edge of life and death!

There was zero room for error!

5-7!

The last wave of monsters was defeated!

The gold coins in Shen Mo's hands had successfully reached 106!

"106 gold coins… Two rounds of matches gave 4 experience points, so leveling up only requires 76 coins. Subtracting another 15 gold coins to buy a golden spatula, I'll only have 15 gold coins left… A Staff appeared after 2 refreshes in Stage 5, which means…"

"I only have 7 chances!"

Shen Mo's lips were dry, and the immense pressure had already soaked his back with sweat.

Roll for cards! Nothing!

Continue!

Roll for cards! Nothing!

Continue!

...

With each roll, the gold coins in the bank were rapidly decreasing!

The sweat on Shen Mo's forehead was increasing!

There were only 5 players left on the field. Excluding Sakura Country and Oil Country, the other three teams were also of very high quality!

And what about Shen Mo's side?

Because he didn't have any economy-based Hextech, he hadn't rolled for cards even once the entire game; his team composition on the field was entirely based on free units!

Excluding Sakura Country and Oil Country, the other three countries, although lacking a cohesive system, basically all had 2-3 three-star, three-cost cards! Shen Mo was struggling immensely!

"No… I can't be greedy anymore!"

"If I'm any greedier, I'll easily be eliminated!"

Shen Mo's face was pale; of the 7 chances, only the last 3 remained!

He didn't dare to gamble anymore!

Although he had already finished playing against Sakura Country, he might very likely run into Hakin in the next round!

Even if it wasn't Hakin, the other three countries all had several three-star, three-cost cards, and Shen Mo would still have a hard time fighting them!

"All in!"

"3 chances! It's do or die!"

"Damn it!"

...

"What… on earth is Shen Mo doing…"

In the Beiyuan Command Post, the atmosphere was so heavy it could freeze ice!

These old generals didn't understand the game match, but from Shen Mo's expression, it wasn't hard to guess that the situation was not looking too good for the Dragon Country. At the very least, Shen Mo, who was usually composed and calm, didn't look very good.

Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zhiwei paced back and forth irritably.

Old Man Li wanted to smash his mug!

"Damn it! Can you stop pacing, you old geezer? You're making me dizzy!"

"…"

Zhang Zhiwei stopped his pacing and sat down sullenly.

Old Man Li frowned tightly: "So… what exactly is the situation now? Can anyone explain it to me?"

The conference room fell into a deathly silence!

No one could give an answer!

After a long while.

A faint voice suddenly sounded in the corner.

It was Dong Ge!

"Leader, I… have a guess."

Dong Ge raised his hand weakly, looking just like an elementary school student answering a question.

There was no help for it; in this environment, under the gaze of this group of big shots, no one could remain calm.

"Speak."

An old man spoke slowly.

Dong Ge swallowed his saliva: "Leaders, I don't know if you noticed, but when Shen Mo synthesized the 'System Pattern' at the beginning, he used a golden spatula + Large Rod…"

"Hmm." Many people frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. Indeed, although they hadn't paid deliberate attention, recalling it now, Shen Mo had indeed used these two pieces of equipment to synthesize it.

"…Since everyone remembers, my guess is simple… That is, is it possible that the reason Shen Mo waited until now is not that he didn't want to activate it, but that he couldn't?"

Couldn't activate it?

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the old men present narrowed, and their killing intent was instantly like a blade!

Why couldn't he activate it?

Was someone threatening Shen Mo?

Old Man Li also slowly put down his tea mug, his eyes lowered: "Explain clearly!"

Dong Ge took a deep breath: "…Yes, Leader! My guess is… it's not that Shen Mo doesn't want to activate it, but that he can't! I checked, he has gold coins in his hand, which means the condition he is missing is not the pieces!"

"I've thought about it over and over, and there seems to be only one possibility!"

"That is, he is waiting for the second… 'System Pattern'!"

"That's the only possibility!"

"As for the evidence… it's the… Large Rod that has been sitting on his equipment bench for seven or eight rounds!"

Dong Ge said it decisively!

His words were like a thunderclap!

The eyes of the entire conference room suddenly looked towards the equipment bench on the field!

Sure enough!

In the corner they had been ignoring, a bright red piece of equipment was lying there quietly…!

Large Rod!

An old man's pupils constricted as he muttered: "The second… 'System Pattern'?"

...

Roll for cards! Swish!

His trembling hand pressed the final refresh!

Shen Mo's whole body instantly froze in place!

In the card shop.

A bright red Staff stood quietly there, with no description, no pictures.

Only in the bottom right corner was an inconspicuous purchase price: 15 gold coins!

Shen Mo's eyes began to bloodshot, his lips trembling slightly: "I can't be wrong! Yes! I definitely didn't remember wrong! Every Staff has a corresponding price. Starting from Stage 5, high-level Staffs will start to refresh…"

"In Stage 6… among the Staff prices that can be refreshed, only one Staff is 15 gold coins!"

"Greater Neeko is 10 gold coins, Artifact is 18 gold coins…"

"The one for 15 gold coins can only be… a golden spatula!"

I gambled and won!

Damn it!

In an instant, Shen Mo felt the world spinning, and his vision almost went black. Life's surprises were truly a rollercoaster; the sliver of hope gained in despair was enough to make one tremble with excitement!

But now was not the time to celebrate; Shen Mo forced himself to calm down!

Level up!

Shen Mo moved!

His huge heart was pounding wildly; Shen Mo pressed the level-up button and immediately started increasing his population!

Swish, swish, swish!

The golden light of leveling up flickered, surrounding Shen Mo!

With a subtle crisp sound, Shen Mo finally reached the peak of population!

10 population!

Inside the livestream, the netizens watching Shen Mo all gasped in unison!

What is Shen Mo doing?

He actually leveled up directly to 10 population!

How much economy must that have cost!

Is he suicidal!?

However, before the storm of comments could arrive, Shen Mo reached out again, purchasing! The Staff!

A golden light appeared, and a golden spatula jumped directly onto the field!

In the blink of an eye, before the golden spatula could even land on the bench, Shen Mo threw it into the synthesizer!

Ding!

The green vortex appeared again!

But this time, everyone widened their eyes, watching in disbelief!

An unspeakable emotion surged into their hearts.

The Sakura Country audience wanted to speak up, because they had a bad feeling, as if something big was about to happen!

"Northern Expedition!"

On the Gods Arena, Shen Mo held the second Dimension emblem in his hand, and a roar shook the entire arena!

The pressure that was like Mount Tai pressing down instantly shattered!

Golden-colored light flickered, and the pieces on the field all emitted brilliant light simultaneously!

The Dimension vortex was collapsing, then reorganizing!

Amidst the deep blue light, rays of purple-red light gradually appeared!

Boom—!!!

At this moment! Ten Dimensions! Formed!
