Golden Shovel Survival: One Lucky Star and One Colorful Hex

Chapter 203 God-King Darius!

After exchanging everything for gold coins, Mo Lang saw that his gold coin count had once again broken the 5,000 mark, reaching 5200!

"5200?"

Looking at the neat rows of numbers, Mo Lang smiled as he looked at Xia Chuchu and Xiao Xiao lying beside him.

After an afternoon, all three seemed to have adjusted, and the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated.

In Xia Chuchu's words, sometimes she felt a little scared and lonely in such a big room by herself, after all, Mo Lang always flew solo.

"What 5200?"

Xia Chuchu lay in Mo Lang's left arm and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao also looked at Mo Lang, as if she had realized something, and her eyes revealed a look of shock: "Could it be that you have 5200 gold coins?!"

"That's right, the income these past two days has been quite good."

Mo Lang nodded with considerable satisfaction: "I just don't know when the next district war will start."

Mo Lang had clearly fallen in love with the feeling of the regional war, and thousands of players' resources had all become his spoils.

This feels absolutely amazing.

No wonder people say that the quickest ways to make money are all written in the criminal law.

"Then you'll be able to get a five-star, five-cost character?" Xiao Xiao's delicate face revealed a look of surprise and delight.

"How is that possible? A three-star, five-cost unit requires nine one-star barracks, a four-star requires twenty-seven, and a five-star requires eighty-one one-star barracks!"

After calculating, Mo Lang said with a headache, "A five-star barracks would cost more than two thousand gold coins, and eight would cost more than sixteen thousand gold coins. It's still a long way off."

"Moreover, the first time you get a D card, it costs 2 gold coins, but the second time it costs 4 gold coins, the third time it costs 8 gold coins, and so on, increasing in that order."

"Huh? Does that mean the more you progress, the more gold coins you'll need?"

"That's right, but that's normal, especially with the start of the regional war. A single regional war can bring in a considerable amount of income. If it weren't set up this way, you might get a three-star five-cost unit in a single regional war."

Mo Lang explained, "You should know that a 5-cost 3-star unit is invincible in the regional war. Unless it is targeted by a large number of pieces, it can basically crush everything."

"Then you must have already spent several thousand dollars on four-star, five-cost items?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

"Of course, I earned a lot of gold coins when the monsters attacked the city, so I naturally have a lot of money."

After explaining a few more points, Mo Lang finally opened the shop's barracks.

My luck is still terrible; I didn't get a single five-cost unit from the barracks refreshed today.

However, Mo Lang did not continue to roll, but instead considered whether it would be better to spend 200 gold coins to upgrade the chess piece to four stars, or to roll with all his might to get a five-star piece.

To be honest, Mo Lang naturally wanted to go all in and get a five-star character, because the god-level Foyego had appeared in the Land of Fortune, and if he wanted to continue upgrading his base, he needed to defeat him.

Mo Lang even had a hunch that the waters of the Land of Fortune were deeper than he had imagined.

"Never mind, I'm not under any pressure right now. The only pressure is the god-level in Lucky Land. Let's go all in!" Mo Lang finally decided to go all in to chase five-star, five-cost units.

Moreover, he has now opened five hero-level barracks duplicators. If he goes all in, there is still a certain chance of getting a five-star, five-cost unit!
Thinking of this, Mo Lang immediately started playing the D card.

"How is this going?"

The second-tier barracks shop refreshed, but surprisingly, five-cost barracks hadn't appeared yet, which made Mo Lang frown.

Am I really that unlucky now?
Fortunately, the Prism Ticket was triggered, and Mo Lang continued to refresh the page with his doubts.

"Not yet? What's going on?" Mo Lang frowned as yet another five-cost unit failed to appear.

He couldn't believe he was so unlucky, and even more so that someone with high-end shopping experience like himself hadn't managed to get a single five-point item in three separate attempts.

There is definitely something wrong with this!

"System, what's going on?" Mo Lang asked immediately.

"Since the host has upgraded the five-cost pieces to four-star barracks, in order to continue refreshing barracks, all five-cost pieces need to be upgraded to four-star before five-cost barracks can be refreshed again," the system quickly explained.

"What a rip-off!"

Mo Lang wanted nothing more than to kill this little slutty system. Wasn't it forcing him to spend money?

But rules are rules, and there's nothing you can do about them.

Since the final interpretation rests with the system, what can be done?

"Damn it, upgrading all of them to four-star, five-cost units will cost nearly 15,000 gold coins!"

After doing the calculations, Mo Lang's face immediately fell.

Fifteen thousand gold coins!
This will probably trigger three regional wars, right?
The district wars start every ten days, meaning that regardless of whether one side wins or loses, the barriers will continue to be opened on the tenth day after the district war begins.

Mo Lang calculated that there are a total of sixty districts. If they are opened up in pairs, the next district war will be a four-district free-for-all.

If you're lucky, one of them might be from your own country, then the other two countries will definitely be attacked from behind.

"Never mind, I might as well explore other areas and see if there are any big or small dragons or anything."

"And then there's LeBlanc!"

Mo Lang naturally remembered that LeBlanc had ruined his plans twice, and he would not be a gentleman if he did not avenge this.

These days, he has been having Zyra and Nasus keep an eye out for clues about LeBlanc or the Black Rose organization. Once they are found, he will definitely kill them.

"Four stars it is, that way I can send more pieces to explore the map."

Mo Lang pondered for a moment. 5200 gold coins could upgrade 26 three-star, five-cost pieces to four-star, with each five-cost piece having three pieces per person.

The remaining two are for Draven.

Thus, all of Mo Lang's five-cost pieces, except for Draven who has five four-star five-cost pieces, all the others have ten four-star five-cost pieces.

Of course, Mo Lang now has a total of ten crowns, and his barracks population can increase by 7, but Mo Lang does not intend to continue to increase the number of pieces.

It's enough for now; buying new ones would be a huge expense.

boom!
Just then, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from the area.

"How is this going?"

Mo Lang hurriedly went out to check.

Near the barracks, a figure slowly rose into the air, and the surrounding air began to distort violently. Countless golden runes moved through the void like living things, converging into a huge vortex.

"Is Darius about to evolve into a four-star five-cost champion?!" Mo Lang exclaimed with delight after seeing the figure's general appearance.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light burst forth from his body, and his original red armor began to transform into dark purple patterned armor, spreading throughout his entire body, as if flowing lava was surging within the patterns.

His originally black hair turned white, and his eyes became pure gold, his gaze filled with an air of disdain for everything, and the space around him trembled with every move he made.

As the light gradually faded, Darius, the king of gods, descended!
