"Strange, why is Mi Yao here?"
Gon showed a curious expression, looking at Mi Yao, Galaxy NO.13, who had suddenly appeared in the training arena.
It should be known that challenges for the Martial Arts Badge are divided into 'public' and 'non-public' types.
The power to decide whether to make it public or not has always been in the hands of the challenger.
Therefore, unless the challenger actively tells others that they will be participating, or someone has been constantly paying attention, it's very difficult for ordinary people to know the specific challenge time of others.
But Mi Yao clearly calculated that Chen Kong would appear here and came prepared.
Thinking of this, Gon asked curiously, "So, Tendo, is this the real spectacle you were talking about?"
Tendo smiled and nodded, indicating that this was the spectacle he referred to.
Don't let Mi Yao's ranking of only NO.13 fool you. Under specific circumstances, this guy's true strength might rank him in the top five.
After all, as a 'hardcore gamer,' Mi Yao's expertise has never been just playing games, but rather studying the game's 'mechanics.'
Because knowing how to utilize 'game mechanics' well is an excellent quality that every hardcore gamer must possess.
And in this regard, Mi Yao possesses absolute talent.
[Martial Heaven Capital Wealthy Martial Tower Training Arena]
"Kong, I'll let you take the first move. After all, if I don't appropriately increase the game difficulty, this game will have no suspense."
Mi Yao raised his hand in a 'go ahead' gesture, his tone full of mockery.
He was certain that even if Chen Kong knew his Star Source, he wouldn't find a way to crack the 'Devil's Contract.'
The free conversion between Life Value and Star Energy meant he had infinite endurance; as long as he wasn't instantly killed by a single blow, he could continue fighting using the conversion mechanism.
Not to mention... he had other objectives.
Looking at Mi Yao, who completely disregarded him, Chen Kong's expression turned cold, and he immediately became serious.
Ding!
Chen Kong clapped his fists together, and his body instantly turned gold.
This was him using his Fantasist ability to copy Liu Ma's 'Star Core: Golden Demon Bull.'
Although he and Mi Yao agreed not to use their Star Core abilities, the Star Source was not affected by this rule.
Therefore, Chen Kong's action was not breaking the rules.
Seeing Chen Kong preparing for a war of attrition, Mi Yao looked surprised.
"Because you know it's difficult to defeat me quickly, you've decided to deplete my Star Energy? Interesting."
Mi Yao said, taking a piece of gum from his pocket and popping it into his mouth.
Just as he finished this, Chen Kong, now fully golden, had already rushed in front of him.
Bang!
Although it was a degraded version of the Golden Demon Bull, the current Chen Kong still possessed formidable strength.
Just a single punch created a terrifying impact, powerful and heavy.
Facing this punch, Mi Yao reacted like a homebody who spent all his time playing games and wasn't good at exercise.
Without even a decent counter-attack, he was sent flying by Chen Kong's punch.
Not giving Mi Yao a moment to catch his breath, Chen Kong rushed up again before he could land, unleashing a barrage of fierce attacks.
During this process, Mi Yao was completely 'helpless,' only passively taking hits and falling entirely into a disadvantage.
Regarding this, Tendo suddenly spoke up.
"Caroline, who do you think will win?"
Hearing Tendo's question, Caroline, who was remotely contacting the research institute via a tactical tablet to supervise the 'Spiritual Realm Project,' decisively put down the tablet, taking a moment to look up at the situation in the arena.
The Galaxy Production Team also specifically switched to Caroline's perspective at this moment.
In Caroline's eyes, the seemingly monotonous and simple training arena instantly listed a large amount of information.
[Training Arena Temperature: 23°C, Wind Speed 1.2m/s, Star Energy Residue Concentration 0.7%]
[Chen Kong: Star Energy Fluctuation Intensity 3.8, Golden Demon Ox 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%, Micro-expressions indicate no pain reaction]
[Old-fashioned Arcade Machine:]
A large amount of information, both useful and useless, flooded into Caroline's mind in the blink of an eye, where it was rapidly processed.
In just a moment, Caroline confidently gave the answer.
"Chen Kong's chance of winning is 0%."
Caroline's tone was calm, as if she were stating a simple fact, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
Gon, standing beside her, looked confused upon hearing this.
"0%? Ms. Caroline, are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
Although Gorn didn't think the current advantage on the field meant Chen Kong had the upper hand, judging from the current information, even if Chen Kong's chance of winning wasn't high, it shouldn't be '0%', right?
Unless she saw information that he hadn't noticed...
Thinking this, Gon glanced at Tendo.
He found that Tendo had no objection to Caroline's statement.
It was as if, in their eyes, although the current Mi Yao was being 'beaten' badly, the person who was truly walking into a trap, was Chen Kong.
So, what exactly did I miss here?
Thinking this, Gon immediately looked down seriously.
And soon enough, he genuinely discovered a clue.
Inside the screen of the old-fashioned street arcade machine, which Mi Yao had materialized, a strange number had appeared.
[Current Losing Streak: 6]
[Current Cumulative Reward Value: 30 Gold Coins]
Losing Streak, Cumulative Reward?
Although Gon had never played the 'Silver Spatula' game, he could infer something from this strange information.
If he wasn't mistaken, was Mi Yao intentionally taking a beating?
And Gon's assumption was correct; this was exactly what Mi Yao was doing.
"Gon, although Kong has improved a lot, he still underestimated human nature, and even more so, the insidious nature of guys like Mi Yao."
"He only said he would demonstrate his Star Source effect and not change the game mode, but he never said that what he demonstrated was the entirety of his abilities."
"Also, although Kong later stipulated that Star Cores could not be used, he forgot that Mi Yao had no such restriction before that point."
Gon nodded in agreement with Tendo's words beside him.
Because he had also figured out Mi Yao's plan and understood what his 'trap' was.
And in order to allow the dimensional viewers to clearly understand Mi Yao's plan, the Galaxy Production Team specifically revealed the 'Silver Spatula Game Ability' that Mi Yao had hidden using his 'Star Core: Error Command.'
[Game Realization Ability: Fortune Fetish]
[Effect: For every 10 Life Value consumed, one 'Failure' is accumulated. The more consecutive failures, the richer the subsequent 'Reward' will be.]
[Possible Rewards: Instant full recovery of status, ten times or more powerful spell attacks, special game items, etc.]
