Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Happy Chaos Field 11
Shen Mo nodded, “When a person is exhausted, the most frightening thing is to face an opponent with explosive strength and speed. If we can’t win him over, it will be difficult to deal with him later.”
“Then we should get rid of him in the arena! It’s a quick solution!” The bearded man impatiently said, “Cooperating with that kid, who knows if he’ll betray us? What if he takes the points and doesn’t repay them? I appreciate your goodwill to help our teammates pass, so I’m willing to cooperate with you. But why should I trust that brat?”
Shen Mo listened calmly and finally spoke up, “If possible, I would not only seek allies but as many as possible. This game’s mechanism is designed to exhaust all player’s endurance. To win, we must break the cycle.”
The bearded man frowned, “…Break, the cycle?”
Shen Mo looked towards the stage and said, “Don’t you think that this game’s rules are very unfriendly to winners? After winning, you can’t leave the stage. Accumulating higher points brings more risks. Once you lose… the winning player will repeat this process—
You can’t leave the stage, continually increasing your points. Once your score reaches nearly 30, you risk losing points. The loser leaves, the winner continues…”
“And what if we win?” the bearded man disagreed, “Maybe we will.”
“The chance is slim,” Shen Mo said, “The longer the game lasts, the more endurance it consumes. So everyone tends to challenge high-scoring players at the end, because the cost-effectiveness of beating a player and gaining 1 point is not the same as beating a player and gaining 5 or 10 points.
Also, players in the audience seats can recover their strength, but there is no rest for those on the stage. As the score goes up, players on stage will get exhausted… If the boy understands this, he should concede in the next round.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the front row of the audience stood up and walked towards the stage.
The bearded man chuckled coldly, “If he plans to conserve his strength by sacrificing 1 point, he is too naive. Not many fools can make it into this preliminaries.”
The two on stage started fighting!
As Shen Mo had predicted, the young boy was more cautious than before, constantly retreating, purely on defense.
His opponent, however, was aggressive!
The boy looked grave, after dodging he rolled on the ground, intending to lay down and wait for the countdown.
Even though he had already yielded, his opponent didn’t let up! He grabbed the boy’s arm and flipped him over!
A crisp sound of a bone breaking echoed in the air.
The boy screamed in pain!
The bearded man, as if he had expected this, nonchalantly said, “See? Sometimes you can’t lose even if you want to. If he’s fast with his punches, others would want to break his hand. In this way, even if we meet him later, we won’t fear him. Also, we can easily win points. It’s killing two birds with one stone.”
Shen Mo watched as the boy, now injured, left the stage, feeling a little regretful.
“Do you think it’s brutal?” The bearded man laughed carelessly, “If they weren’t able to gain points from him, they might not only break his hand but take his life as well.”
Su Man hesitated before looking at Shen Mo, “If his hand is really broken, do we…still need to cooperate with him?”
“Don’t judge too quickly, let’s watch a little longer.” Shen Mo looked towards the figure in the distance.
Everyone watched curiously to see the defeated boy take out a handkerchief from his pocket to tightly wrap his injured place. A few seconds later, when he unwrapped it, his arm was unharmed?!
“A prop!” Tan Xiao exclaimed excitedly, “What a useful prop!”
“Those who can make it into these preliminaries are never simple,” Shen Mo said with a light smile, looking at the bearded man, “He lacks endurance, and could really use the opportunity to cooperate.”
The bearded man grumbled, “Do as you please.”
