âAre the companions youâre talking about, these two?â The bearded man looked at Tan Xiao and Su Man, chuckling, âThis girl, she can hold her own in a fight, but this guy⦠looks like a dolt, donât he? With such weak teammates, can they keep your points safe?â
Tan Xiaoâs eyes widened in dissatisfaction, and as he was about to retort, Shen Mo interjected: âConsider the rules, your points, they could at least keep half of them.â
Players with up to 10 points will lose 1,
Players with up to 20 points will lose 5,
Players with up to 30 points will lose 10,
Players with up to 50 points will lose 20.
Letâs not mention the rule for 50 points for now, think about 29 points. If you pretend to lose to Tan Xiao and transfer 10 points, along with Tan Xiaoâs original 5 points, that would be 15 points in total. Even if Tan Xiao loses the next round, he would only lose 5 points.
Listening to Shen Moâs explanation, the bearded man asked, puzzled, âSo, will the remaining 5 points be returned to me?â
âCorrect.â Shen Mo nodded slightly, âIf itâs 5 points, the best time to return them to you would be when you accumulate 25 points. That way, you could pass immediately and secure the position of the War King.â
The bearded man considered this.
This plan was clearly all benefit and no harm to him. Not only did it ensure his safety when he had a high score, but it also greatly reduced the risk of losing points. And the only condition for the collaboration was, when Shen Mo went on stage, he couldnât act against him.
Of course, when he was on the stage, Shen Mo couldnât act against him either.
This situation was win-win.
If the two of them fought to the death in the Brawl Arena, they would only benefit the rest of the rabbitsâ spawn.
After some deliberation, the bearded man nodded in agreement, âYou better keep your promise. If you take away my points and donât give them back, you need to realize there will be consequences.â
Shen Mo responded with a faint smile: âSame goes for you.â
At this moment, a clamor came from the front row of the spectator seats. They looked over to see a player on the stage taking a severe beating and even after the countdown had ended, he refused to leave the stage. It seemed like he had been provoked to the point of fury and started shouting:
âLetâs go again! One more round! You bastard, I wasnât ready yet! Do you think I canât beat you?â
The victory went to a slightly tan boy who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen, very young. He stood on the stage looking quite nonchalant: âOld man, canât you see that youâre making a fool of yourself?â
The other party was even more infuriated and stormed over: âYou littleâ¦!â
The Clown Inspector waddled in between the two, and with a chuckle, stopped them: âNo, no, no~ Only the winning player can stay on the stage, the losing player needs to go down~ Go down~â
âJust wait and see!â The player angrily exited the stage.
Other players nearby discussed amongst themselves: âThat kid throws some fast punches.â
âYeah, not only fast, his angles are quite cunning tooâ¦â
Maybe due to some hesitation, no one immediately jumped on the stage to challenge. After all, the game had no time limit, so everyone had plenty of time to think.
Shen Mo watched the boy on the stage, deep in thought: âHeâs a promising one, agile.â
âI didnât see him take the stage earlier,â Su Man remarked.
Tan Xiao immediately responded: âThatâs just because our Brother Mo is formidable. The boy was too scared to come out. Now, with all the small fry on stage, itâs a good opportunity for him to earn points! Once Brother Mo takes the stage, he wonât have a chance!â
Su Manâs face was filled with an awkward expression.
Although she admired Shen Mo, she really couldnât get used to such bootlicking tone.
Shen Mo slowly said while looking at the stage: âHeâs dexterous, has great explosive power, and knows how to find opportunities⦠This boy might interfere with our plans.â
âHeâs just a pesky little brat.â The bearded man lazily threw his leg over the other one, and once again closed his eyes to rest, âSkinny arms, skinny legs, looks like he doesnât have much endurance, might win two or three rounds at mostâ¦â
Shen Mo said: âThere are five spots, we are just missing one.â
The bearded man suddenly opened his eyes: âYou want to work with him as well?â
