Chapter 343 Hidden Gaming Abilities - Lucky Star Bond

"Strange, why is Mi Yao here?"

Ghosn looked on with curiosity as he saw Mi Yao, the No. 13 star in the martial arts arena, suddenly appear.

It's important to know that the challenges for the Martial Arts Badge are divided into 'public' and 'private' categories.

The power to decide whether to make it public has always been in the hands of the challenger.

Therefore, unless the challenger actively informs others about their participation, or someone is constantly paying attention.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to know the specific challenge time of others.

But Mi Yao clearly anticipated Chen Kong's appearance here and came prepared.

Thinking of this, Ghosn asked curiously, "So, is this the real show you were talking about, the Heavenly Way?"

Tiandao smiled and nodded, indicating that this was the good show he had mentioned.

Despite Mi Yao's ranking of only No. 13, it can be quite significant under certain circumstances.

This guy's true strength might rank him in the top five.

After all, as a "pro gamer", Mi Yao's greatest strength has never been playing games, but studying game mechanics.

Because knowing how to make good use of game mechanics is an essential quality that every skilled gamer must possess.

In this respect, Mi Yao has an absolute talent.

【Martial Arts Arena of the Tower of Martial Arts in Tiandu】

"Kong, I'll give you the first strike. After all, if we don't appropriately increase the difficulty of the game, there will be no suspense."

Mi Yao raised his hand and made a 'please' gesture, his tone full of mockery.

He was certain that even if Chen Kong knew about his Star Source, he wouldn't be able to find a way to break the 'Demon Contract'.

The ability to freely convert between health points and star energy points is equivalent to giving him unlimited endurance. As long as he is not instantly killed, he can continue fighting thanks to the conversion mechanism.

Not to mention, he had other motives.

Seeing that Mi Yao completely disregarded him, Chen Kong's expression turned cold, and he immediately became serious.

Ding!
As soon as Chen Kong's fists collided, his body instantly turned golden.

It was by using the Dreamer's ability that he copied Liu Ma's 'Star Core Golden Demon Bull'.

Although he and Mi Yao agreed that neither of them would use the Star Core's abilities, the Star Source was not affected by this rule.

Therefore, Chen Kong's actions were not considered a violation of the rules.

Mi Yao looked on with surprise as he watched Chen Kong prepare to wage a war of attrition against him.

"So, knowing it's difficult to defeat me in a short time, they decided to deplete my planet's energy? Interesting."

As Mi Yao spoke, he took a piece of chewing gum out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

Just as he finished doing all this, Chen Kong, who had completely transformed into gold, rushed up to him.

boom!
Although it was a degraded Golden Bull Demon, Chen Kong still gained considerable power at this time.

With just one punch, a terrifying commotion was generated, its force immense and heavy.

Faced with this punch, Mi Yao was like a shut-in who spends all his time at home playing games and is not good at sports.

Before he could even mount a proper counterattack, he was sent flying by a single punch from Chen Kong.

Without giving Mi Yao a chance to catch his breath, Chen Kong charged forward again before he even landed, launching a fierce and relentless attack.

During this process, Mi Yao was completely 'powerless to fight back' and could only passively take the beating, falling into a complete disadvantage.

In response, Heaven suddenly spoke up.

"Caroline, who do you think will win?"

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Caroline, who was remotely communicating with the research institute and supervising the 'Spirit Realm Project' via her tactical tablet, decisively put down the tablet and took a moment to look up at the situation on the field. At that moment, the Stellar Productions team also deliberately switched to Caroline's perspective.

In Caroline's eyes, the seemingly monotonous and simple training ground suddenly displayed a wealth of information.

[Temperature at the training ground: 23℃, wind speed: 1.2m/s, residual star energy concentration: 0.7%]

[Dust Sky: Stellar energy fluctuation intensity 3.8, Golden Demon Bull form muscle density 1.5 times, attack frequency 2.1 times/second, estimated continuous combat time 5 minutes]

[Mi Yao: Heart rate 68 beats/min (normal), Star Energy consumption 0.2%, no pain reaction in micro-expressions]

[Old-fashioned game console:]

A flood of useful and useless information rushed into Caroline's mind in the blink of an eye and was rapidly processed in her mind.

In the blink of an eye, Caroline gave her answer with certainty.

"Dust has a 0% chance of winning."

Caroline's tone was calm, as if she were stating a simple fact, without any emotional fluctuation.

Ghosn, standing to the side, looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"0%? Miss Caroline, are you sure you didn't misread it?"

Although Ghosn didn't think that the current advantage on the field meant that Dust and Sky had the upper hand.

But based on the information available so far, even if Chen Kong's chances of winning aren't high, they shouldn't be 0%, right?
Unless she saw some information that she hadn't noticed herself.
Thinking of this, Ghosn glanced at the Heavenly Dao out of the corner of his eye.

It was discovered that the Heavenly Dao had no objection to Caroline's statement.

It seemed to them that Mi Yao had been 'beaten' badly at this moment.

But the one who truly walked step by step into the trap was Chen Kong.

So, is there something I missed?

Thinking of this, Ghosn immediately looked down seriously.

And he soon discovered the truth.

A strange number suddenly appeared on the screen of the old-fashioned arcade game machine that Mi Yao had materialized.

Current losing streak: 6

[Current total reward value: 30 gold coins]

Losing streak, cumulative rewards?
Although Ghosn had never played the game "Silver Shovel," he could still deduce something from this strange information.

If he wasn't mistaken, was Mi Yao deliberately getting beaten up?
And Ghosn's idea was correct; Mi Yao was indeed thinking the same thing at that moment.

“Gorn, although Kong has improved a lot, he still underestimated people’s hearts and underestimated the insidiousness of Mi Yao and his gang.”

"He only said he would show his Star Source effects and that he wouldn't change the game mode, but he didn't say that what he showed was all there was to it."

"Also, although Kong later stipulated that star cores could not be used, he forgot that Mi Yao did not have this restriction before that."

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Ghosn nodded in agreement.

Because he also saw through Ghosn's plans and understood what his 'trap' was.

In order to ensure that the audience of the anime/manga world can clearly understand Mi Yao's plan.

The Stellar Productions team deliberately concealed Mi Yao's "Silver Shovel Game Ability" using the "Star Core - Error Command".

[Game Realism Capability: Lucky Star Bonds]

[Effect: For every 10 health points consumed, one 'failure' is accumulated. The more consecutive failures, the richer the subsequent 'rewards'.]

[Potential rewards: Instant full recovery, spell damage increased by more than ten times, special game items, etc.]
