Chapter 144: As Vicious as a Viper

Ling Sha was indeed Number 3, a small figure that was useless to pair with—only by pairing with a number above 5 could one ensure scoring points.

But that carried risks.

The Black Knight and two AIs were known to be 678.

Truth be told, even though she was among the top ten in Yamaguchi Village, she did not recognize anyone ranked after the fifth place.

After all, they were only local experts, and Tangren City, where she resided, was in a different country from Yamaguchi Village; unless someone reached Elephant Level, their reputation wouldn't spread far.

If Ironhand completed a pairing with the Black Knight, then from 678, one would be missing—what if it were the 6?

That would leave 78. Ling Sha, lucky to choose between the two.

Choose 7 for a gain of four points; choose 8 for a loss of five points—one thought heaven, the other hell.
