The cheering returned, and Shang refilled his life energy with the shrimp's corpse.
Then, the wheel returned.
"Wait a second," Shang said.
The wheel stopped descending and just paused.
"Yes?" the jester asked.
"If my armor breaks and becomes useless, will it be repaired?" Shang asked.
"Depends on if you lose or win," the jester answered. "If you win, no, your armor is the price you've paid to win. If you lose, it will be repaired."
Shang nodded. His armor was extremely important. Without it, he would have died to the Serpent, and he was sure that it would also save him in the Mage category.
"Then, I won't fight," he said.
"Smart move," the jester said.
There were three possible ways the next fight could have gone.
First, Shang died, and his armor broke.
Second, Shang won, and his armor broke.
Third, Shang won, and his armor survived.
If the first case happened, Shang would lose out.
If the second case happened, Shang would also lose out. After all, Shang wouldn't be able to rely on his armor during the Mage category since he couldn't just reforge it like his sword.
His armor would have been traded for exactly one point since level 15 would be absolutely impossible for Shang to beat.
However, if Shang had access to his armor, it would very likely pay out with more than one point in the Mage category.
Shang's armor had already paid two points in the beast category by helping him win against the Serpent. His next opponent also wasn't a big problem, but Shang would have never reached that opponent without his armor.
