I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Happy Chaos Field 9

The bearded man pondered Shen Mo for a bit before slowly raising himself to a seated position. He rummaged through his tangled brown curls and muttered:

“I can’t tell what you’re on about… I am lying here, just wanting to wait until everyone else becomes weary before going onto the stage. Anyway, if I go up there now, I’m just handing out points to others…”

His voice was low, yet robust and powerful, with a sharp hint of alcohol odor.

That smell made Su Man screw up her face in displeasure. Of course, there was also the virtually unendurable body odor emanating from him as if he hadn’t bathed for months.

“You want to wait till everyone’s tired…” Shen Mo smiled wryly. “There are 30 players in the field. Some will be tired, while others recuperate after rest; you’ll never wait out till everyone is tired. Besides, don’t forget that there’s no food or water here; the longer we drag, the more disadvantageous for us and the higher the chances of someone else claiming the War King’s position first.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The bearded man knitted his eyebrows, “Such a hassle… So what should we do? Just so you’re aware, I won’t get involved in anything that isn’t profitable. Don’t waste your breath.”

“It’s simple.” Shen Mo said, “When I go on stage, you don’t. When you’re on stage, I hold back.”

The bearded man was taken aback for a moment before slowly narrowing his eyes. His gaze on Shen Mo was full of intrigue.

Shen Mo said: “Toppling a person is not the difficult part, the challenge is in maintaining that position. High points mean high risk; once you fall, all previous efforts go to waste. The most dangerous times in this game are when you score up to 29. To avoid having their places taken and to secure the 10 points, every jackal, tiger, and leopard may show up.”

At his words, the bearded man burst out laughing: “Now you’re being modest, hmm? From what I see, your stamina seems good, having defeated Jefferson and even scored so much. Even if there are ten more games, you should do well, no?”

Shen Mo thought carefully before nodding faintly: “Yes.”

The bearded man: “…”

You could be a bit more modest, you know, young man?

“However…” Shen Mo’s tone changed before he continued, “I wouldn’t want to see you on that stage when I score up to 29.”

That statement pleased the bearded man, lightening his mood and changing his perception of Shen Mo for the better.

“Understood, you’re afraid you can’t beat me then.” The bearded man loftily twirled his beard showing his satisfaction.

Shen Mo didn’t respond directly but merely glanced towards the stage and calmly stated: “Though there are 30 gamers here, in reality, only two or three of them can be considered worthy opponents. As long as these few don’t make their moves, I think it should be easy to secure passing points.”

“What if they do make their moves?” queried the bearded man, narrowing his eyes.

Shen Mo responded neutrally: “There are five spots for the victors.”

Even though there are five places, why engage in clashing egos? Joining forces is always better compared to both coming out worse after a fierce battle, and then having the spoils seized by some nobodies.

“Presumably, you wouldn’t want to see me on the stage when you reach 29 points either,” Shen Mo said, fixing him with an appraising gaze.

The bearded man burst out into hearty laughter, “You’ve found me out, have you?”

His laugh was too robust and so hearty that it drew quite a few glances in his direction.

The bearded man didn’t seem to care. Still chuckling, he spoke to Shen Mo, “But have you considered, even if you don’t come up, there are others who will. Don’t assume the gamers here have no skills because you had an easy time earlier. That’s because their scores were low, which is why they weren’t giving everything they had. But to keep a winning streak of 30 matches, once the scores go up, is impossible.”

“Which is why we need to cooperate,” Shen Mo explained, “Every time when the score reaches 19 or 29, I and my companion will go on the stage to divert your scores. You can take this chance to rest, recuperate and come back when you’re ready.”
