Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Happy Chaos Field 8
“You’re so sure? Maybe he will win. After all, the Asian man has already played more than a dozen matches. He’s almost out of energy!” Someone in the crowd retorted.
To make his statement more convincing, he added, “In the last brawl, it took him 7 minutes to defeat his opponent!”
“He took 7 minutes, not because he’s tired, but because he was adjusting his pace.”
The burly man with the beard lowered his leg, slowly sat up, and watching the stage, he continued,
“Just like marathon runners… when they realize the race is still far from over, they consciously adjust their pace to avoid burning their energy out too quickly. The slower pace of the runner is not because he can’t run, but a way of preserving his strength. Understand?”
“Hmph, you talk as if you know everything, why don’t you go and try?”
“Me?” The burly man chuckled, lazily laying back and closing his eyes, “I need to rest… While they rest on the stage, I rest offstage. I’ll regain my energy and then go up…”
Hearing his words, the crowd became annoyed.
He actually referred to Shen Mo’s match on the stage as “rest”! Wasn’t this an indirect insult, implying all of them to be weaklings?!
Everyone continued watching the game, and as the burly man predicted, Shen Mo seemed to be dragging his feet more and more.
It took 8 minutes for the match to end.
Shen Mo’s score became 14.
He beckoned towards Su Man below the stage, “Su Man, come up.”
Startled, Su Man used one hand to support herself and flipped onto the stage, “… Mo, you… are you going to fight me?”
“Yeah, I’m tired.” Shen Mo casually said, “Just hit me.”
Su Man: “Oh…”
She raised her fist and hesitantly… touched Shen Mo’s arm.
Shen Mo laid down on the spot, staring calmly at the countdown numbers appearing above him.
Su Man: “…”
After ten seconds, Shen Mo’s score dropped to 9 and Su Man gained 5 points.
With the change in scores, Su Man heard faint sighs from below the stage…
Shen Mo also heard it, a faint smile playing on his lips. He jumped agilely off the stage, leaving the thin metal chain on the hook for Su Man before walking away. It could be used as a whip.
Now his score dropped from 14 to 9.
— Players with less than 10 points will deduct 1 point.
That meant, after a great effort to defeat him, they would only get 1 point, which makes it unworthy.
After Su Man replaced Shen Mo on the stage, more players came up to challenge.
Perhaps due to underestimation, or the effectiveness of the chain, Su Man won two rounds in a row and eventually lost to a bald man in the third.
When Su Man stepped down, she let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, her score was less than 10 points. Otherwise, instantly losing 5 points would’ve been a waste of the 5 points Shen Mo gave her.
Overall, the situation isn’t bad. Shen Mo had 9 points, Tan Xiao had 5, and Su Man had 6.
Shen Mo led Tan Xiao and Su Man toward the seating area.
Tan Xiao happily followed, not bothering to ask why.
Looking backward to the fierce fights on the stage, Su Man forgot to ask, “Where are we going? Don’t we need to stay and watch?”
Watching these people’s moves, would also help in understanding their possible tactics.
Bai Youwei, Yan Qingwen, Lu Yuwen were no longer by her side, and Su Man felt that even if she wasn’t adept, she should consider all possible situations and outcomes…
Shen Mo ahead casually responded, “No hurry, the game has no time limit. Follow me first.”
…
Shen Mo walked around the seating area, finding the burly man sound asleep in the last row.
He led Tan Xiao and Su Man over, sat down next to the burly man, calmly asking him, “Want to cooperate?”
The burly man opened his eyelids to look at him.
“You noticed too, right? The trap in this game.” Shen Mo gave a slight smile, “So you’ve been waiting here… for the right opportunity?”
