Chapter 16 – Fourth Member
Li Cangyu was very surprised by this result. He originally prepared many lines to persuade Xie Shurong to join the team while eating tonight. He didn't expect Xie Shurong's personality to be so refres.h.i.+ng that he would join when he came to the door.
He took the contract. Although there was a bunch of English words that couldn't be fully understood, he could infer from some keywords that this was the agreement between Xie Shurong and the ICE Club to terminate their agreement. Now that he had this contract, Xie Shurong was free.
Li Cangyu was in a good mood as he patted Xie Shurong's shoulder and said, "Let's talk while we eat!"
The three people sat at the dinner table. Xie Shurong looked at the delicious food in front of him and almost drooled. Steamed fish, sweet and sour ribs, vegetarian fried bamboo shoots, braised eggplant, spicy tofu… he ate so much half-cooked steak every day that he felt like vomiting. Now that he saw Bai Xuan's authentic home-cooked dishes, he didn't know what to say.
Li Cangyu handed him chopsticks. "Come taste the craftsmans.h.i.+p of Chef Bai and you won't regret joining our team."
Bai Xuan said, "Don't listen to that old cat bragging. I just casually cooked a few things and don't know if it will suit your taste."
Xie Shurong picked up the chopsticks and tasted the food. He was immediately moved as he stared at Bai Xuan. "It is too delicious!"
Vice-Captain Bai's cooking was well-deserving of praise. It was worth joining the team just for these dishes!
Li Cangyu's eyes swept over the table. He found the target and quickly put the plate of fish in front of him. He bowed his head and ate like he was afraid someone would steal it. Xie Shurong was more interested in the sweet and sour ribs and couldn't stop eating them.
Bai Xuan looked at these two men who were like hungry ghosts, burying their heads and desperately eating the meal, and couldn't help smiling. He sat opposite them and slowly ate.
Bai Xuan's dishes were too delicious that Xie Shurong was busy eating and didn't have time to speak.
Li Cangyu was also very hungry after playing the game all day. He quickly finished the steamed fish in front of him then went for the braised eggplant.
Bai Xuan felt that the style of this team would become very strange in the future.
Under Li Cangyu's leaders.h.i.+p, would the Canglan team become a 'foodie camp?'
***
Once the dishes on the table were cleared away by the three men, Xie Shurong wiped his mouth and looked at Bai Xuan. "I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time. Vice-Captain Bai, can I continue to come here tomorrow to eat dinner?"
Li Cangyu replied quickly, "Come, you are welcome!"
Bai Xuan, “…”
The two people came to an agreement and Bai Xuan had no way to refuse these two foodies. He turned away to wash a plate of fruit. Li Cangyu and Xie Shurong reluctantly left the dining room, sitting down on the sofa in the living room and chatting while eating fruit.
“A'Shu, you decided to join my team so quickly. Is there a particular reason?" Li Cangyu asked.
"I thought about it carefully and realized that Cat G.o.d is right. I don't want to go back to the Flying Feathers team. In addition, the other strong teams in China don't lack swordsmen and many teams have their own tactical style. It will be very difficult for me to join their main lineup so it is better for me to follow Cat G.o.d, who is starting from scratch." Xie Shurong explained seriously.
Li Cangyu patted him on the shoulder and smiled. "This is the truth. It is good that you can figure it out so quickly."
Xie Shurong asked, "By the way, haven't you been away from Miracle for almost three years? I thought you had forgotten how to play an elf summoner. I hadn't expected that while doing the bounty mission with you today, your gameplay would still be so sharp!"
Li Cangyu smiled. "Many things aren't easy to forget."
Xie Shurong was startled and several emotions filled his heart.
Cat G.o.d was right. Some things were rooted in the heart and wouldn't be so easy to forget.
Just as he left Flying Feathers and joined a foreign club rather than give up playing his swordsman, Li Cangyu had also been thinking about his elf summoner.
They had a common dream when they were young.
Due to a variety of reasons, these dreams weren't realized but that didn't mean they were forgotten.
Three years had pa.s.sed and many things changed.
Strong teams and masters in the Miracle League were like clouds. It might seem bold to want to beat them all but how would they know if they didn't try?
Xie Shurong couldn't help being excited thanks to Li Cangyu's firm gaze.
Li Cangyu smiled and stretched out a hand. "From today onwards, we are teammates. Â We will work side by side to beat Miracle together."
His words were very calm, as if he was saying, "Today we will eat rice." This calm tone and eyes with no hesitation showed how determined this man was.
Xie Shurong reached out and shook his hand tightly. "Then Captain, let's go back together!"
Bai Xuan couldn't help feeling moved as he watched the scene of the two people shaking hands.
Putting aside Xie Shurong's past pursuit of him, Bai Xuan acknowledged Xie Shurong's abilities.
In the third season, the Miracle League expanded the size of the teams and improved the treatment of professional players. This led to a large influx of experts into the league. Many of the rookies who debuted that year were now vice-captains or had strength suitable for the major teams. The evaluation of newcomers was a score that senior judges of Miracle created based on the players' various data.
It wasn't easy to win awards at all.
In the third season where so many experts emerged, Xie Shurong managed to win the award for the most potential. He had the halo of the champions.h.i.+p team, Flying Feathers, and his own strength wasn't weak. His kill rate in the arena and group battles was in the top five of the league and his momentum was almost the same as the powerful Ling Xuefeng, Li Cangyu and others.
In addition, he played for the American ICE Club for several years. After this period of tempering, he had become a mature and stable young man. His sharp spirit had been honed and his fingers were more stable, making his swordsmans.h.i.+p frightening!
To be able to recruit such a strong teammate, Bai Xuan was really happy for Li Cangyu and himself.
The Canglan team once lacked strong teammates so this felt really good!
***
“Do the two of you want to shake hands as well?" Li Cangyu suggested to Xie Shurong. "In the field, you used to always chase our vice-captain but now the task of protecting him will be given to you. Is this okay?"
"There is no problem." Xie Shurong looked up and smiled at Bai Xuan. "Is the vice-captain still angry with me?"
"…I'm not that stingy." Bai Xuan smiled back. "I just think that you have grown very quickly. You previously only reached my shoulder and now you are half a head taller than me."
It felt like the small sapling in his memories had instantly grown into a towering tree.
Xie Shurong looked at Bai Xuan's confused expression and suddenly felt that this Vice-Captain Bai was somewhat cute.
When they weren't on the same team, Xie Shurong only knew that Bai Xuan was a healer with a mild temperament, steady techniques and good looks. Now that they had closer contact, he found that the vague player in his memories was becoming flesh and blood.
Bai Xuan would smile, become angry, be confused..
There were many vivid expressions on his face.
The key thing was that all his dishes were super delicious. Bai Xuan was the team's most excellent milk dad!
At the very least, his stomach would be blessed.
Xie Shurong was in a very good mood as he thought this.
"By the way A'Shu, you accompanied us all afternoon in the game. Wasn't there team training?" Li Cangyu realized the key problem and couldn't help feeling curious. "Shouldn't it be the regular season for the US side of the Miracle Professional League?"
"I have two days off." Xie Shurong explained. "The first round just finished and we will start the second round of regular games in a week."
"It was like this." Li Cangyu paused. "How do you think the level of the teams here are compared to domestically?"
"The overall strength is similar to domestic first-tier teams but the tactical thinking is far worse." Xie Shurong paused and said, "Oh yes, the vice-captain of the ICE Club is the blood kin summoner Jack Josh. Have you heard of this person?"
Li Cangyu had naturally heard this person's name. This person was said to be the world's strongest blood kin summoner but Li Cangyu was unsure of his strength since they hadn't personally fought.
In the summoner cla.s.s, in addition to the American blood skin summoner, there was also a Chinese player who boarded the world's leaderboard. It was the demon summoner and captain of the Wind Colour team, Ling Xuefeng.
Li Cangyu thought this and couldn't help asking, "You have also fought with Ling Xuefeng. How would you compare their strengths?"
"Compare him to Captain Ling?" Xie Shurong touched his chin as he thought about it before making a seriously evaluation. "They are both dark type summoners but Captain Ling's gameplay is very calm and he will give opponents a strong sense of oppression. Jack's style is more violent and b.l.o.o.d.y. The two people's styles are completely different." Xie Shurong smiled and said, "If you come back, the elf summoner's agile movements and quick change of pets will definitely s.h.i.+ne in front of them."
"Of course." Li Cangyu replied very honestly.
He believed that his level wasn't any worse than these famous summoners and was looking forward to the day he faced them. But it was too early to go straight to the World Compet.i.tion… he hadn't even formed a team yet!
Bai Xuan heard this and couldn't help asking, "Are foreign healers different from domestic ones?"
"Their healing styles are similar but many people in the United States play a human priest. Isn't it relatively rare in China?"
"Yes, domestic healers tend to play the angel race." Bai Xuan sat opposite him and a.n.a.lyzed it carefully. "The angel priest has the highest healing volume but weak defense. A terran healer has medium healing and stronger defense, making it more suitable for a protracted war. However, in a situation where the combat pressure on the field is very high, I think the output of a healer is more useful. It would be useless if the healer's teammates died."
Xie Shurong saw his serious expression and couldn't help agreeing. "Vice-Captain Bai is right."
The recognized Bai Xuan smiled with satisfaction.
Xie Shurong suddenly found that when this man smiled, his eyes curved and his gentle appearance was very good. He almost looked like…
Bai Xuan was called a first-cla.s.s healer in Miracle. Xie Shurong still remembered that when chasing Bai Xuan in the game, Bai Xuan might've lost blood but he could hide from Xie Shurong's sword for a long time, like a c.o.c.kroach. Bai Xuan's movements were very flexible.
He didn't expect that they would one day become teammates.
Cat G.o.d and Bai Xuan, a powerful remote output and a powerful healer. In addition, there was the melee swordsman with a fast attack. Xie Shurong knew very well that this team wouldn't be easily trampled on like the previous FTD team.
In the future, everyone would fight side by side to kill their opponents!
'Therefore, Vice-Captain Bai, we should change roles. When I come to protect you, don't reflexively avoid me. It is embarra.s.sing!'
Bai Xuan found that Xie Shurong was staring at him and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at? Do you want a real life PK?"
Xie Shurong smiled. "I don't dare do that. You are the vice-captain, I will listen to you."
Bai Xuan looked satisfied and pointed to the plate of fruit on the table. "Go to the refrigerator and cut me an orange."
"Yes!" Xie Shurong immediately took the plate and started cutting the fruit.
Li Cangyu couldn't help smiling when he saw this scene. "A'Shu often bullied you in the arena and now you can finally bully him back."
Bai Xuan looked at Xie Shurong's busy figure and couldn't help laughing. "It feels really good!"
The author has something to say:
[Small Theater]
Xie Shurong: Vice-Captain Bai who I chased in those years is trying to bully me? How are things so broken?
Crowd: Throw him down and eat him.
A'Shu who has been waiting for a long time and finally got a chance to pounce on Vice-Captain Bai. Just as he bent down to kiss, Bai Xuan suddenly flexibly escaped.
Xie Shurong: …What are you hiding from?
Bai Xuan: It is a reflex ^_^
Gong Ling continues to play countdown to his appearance…
Chapter 17 – Qin Mo
Xie Shurong stayed until 7 in the evening before going back. Li Cangyu drank a cup of tea and rested for a bit before turning on the computer and opening the game. He just logged into the Love to Eat Braised Fish account when he saw many messages from a private chat window in the lower left corner, all from Luo Xiaoluo.
[h.e.l.lo Fish Brother. We would like to invite you and your friends to join the Time Guild!]
[The strength of our Time Guild in this district is definitely one of the best. You don't have to be afraid of finding a group for group instances or battlefields. You simply have to chat on our guild channel and finding a team is simple!]
[After reaching max level, you can directly join our Time Guild's elite instance group and I guarantee that you will get full equipment in one month!]
[The president also said that he will get Great G.o.d Cheng Wei's signature. If you join, this signature will be sent to you!]
Li Cangyu, "…"
The calm Cat G.o.d saw this and almost spat out a mouthful of tea.
Actually using Cheng Wei's signature to hook him into joining the guild, this Time Guild was really using other people's hard-earned capital to their advantage.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that their G.o.d Cheng Wei had always wanted Cat G.o.d's signature.
Li Cangyu couldn't help smiling when he thought of the young boy who always chased after him for a signature.
Cheng Wei and Xie Shurong were both players who debuted in the third season. Xie Shurong's style was more aggressive and he had the strong spirit of a swordsman. His style was biased towards violent suppression. Cheng Wei played a white magician. His remote control and movements were very meticulous, making his gameplay smart and flexible.
After the two people won newcomer awards, Time's vice-captain retired and Cheng Wei was promoted to the vice-captain position.
The 16 year old Cheng Wei who just debuted was now almost 19 years old, the peak of an e-sports player's career. This guy was very lively and cheerful. He looked very cute and was sunny when he laughed. His popularity in the Miracle League was becoming higher and higher, with a large number of loyal fans.
However, most of the old players in Miracle knew that Cheng Wei was actually a fan of Cat G.o.d.
When playing the game together, Cheng Wei would enthusiastically invite Cat G.o.d to eat whenever they met.
After FTD was disbanded and Li Cangyu led the team to leave, Cheng Wei tried to recruit him only to be rejected. The little guy was still sad for a long time.
In the past few years, A'Shu had matured a lot and Xiao Cheng also became an adult.
Li Cangyu was now 23 years old and in the e-sports circles, this was considered old and he should be thinking about retirement.
It wasn't too late to come back now but Li Cangyu was very clear that this was his last chance.
If he couldn't get the trophy this time, he would miss out on it for the rest of his life.
Therefore, he must seize this opportunity.
***
[Fish Brother is online!] As Li Cangyu was thinking, the private chat window sent another message. It was the guild promoter, Luo Xiaoluo. [Have you considered it? Will you join Time? I'll send you the signature by express mail!]
[…] Li Cangyu couldn't help laughing. [You keep Vice-Captain Cheng's signature. I won't join the Time Guild.]
Luo Xiaoluo was shocked. [Aren't you a fan of Great G.o.d Cheng Wei?]
Li Cangyu: [No.]
Luo Xiaoluo: […] His face was really beaten!
Li Cangyu didn't want to join the Time Guild but his impression of it was quite good due to Cheng Wei. In addition, the president of Time decisively chose to give up on intercepting the bounty mission. Li Cangyu appreciated this smart approach.
[Thank your president for the kind invitation. I won't go to Time and I won't join other guilds. If I can, I'll find a place to help later.] Li Cangyu sent this to Luo Xiaoluo. His personality had always been that if they showed him respect, he would naturally respect them back. If they came for death, he could only kill them.
Luo Xiaoluo sent a screenshot of Love to Eat Braised Fish's reply to the guild and asked: [President, what should I do?]
Time Machine considered it before quickly deciding. [Since he doesn't want to join, we won't force it. Â I think this person is ambitious and wants to build his own guild. It is better to be his ally than his enemy. We will continue to wait and see.]
Luo Xiaoluo was somewhat depressed. [I didn't expect him to not be a fan of Vice-Captain Cheng.]
Time Machine laughed. [There are many excellent players in the league. Vice-Captain Cheng's popularity is very high but he also has a lot of sunspots. This Love to Eat Braised Fish might've just heard Vice-Captain Cheng's name.]
Luo Xiaoluo sent a row of starry-eyed expressions. [Can I get Vice-Captain Cheng's signature instead?]
Time Machine had a headache. [Okay, I will send it to you by express delivery!]
***
Not long after, Xie Shurong returned to the club and logged into the game. He sent a message: [Cat G.o.d, shall we continue the bounty mission?]
Li Cangyu: [Wait for Xiao Gu to log in and I will introduce you.]
He just said this when the bottom left corner showed a prompt. [Your friend 'As the Name Suggests' is online.]
Xiao Gu was forced to sleep at one in the morning by Li Cangyu. He woke up early at 8 o'clock and excitedly turned on his computer. Once he logged into the game, he was shocked! Love to Eat Braised Fish and Love to Eat Twice-cooked Pork were already level 31. He was only level 20 and was 11 levels lower!
Gu Siming sent a row of tearful expressions. [Captain, you levelled so quickly and didn't wait for me!]
Li Cangyu smiled, added him to the team and said: [Let me introduce you. This terran swordsman is our new teammate. This is Xiao Gu. He is 17 years old and the main T of our team.]
Xie Shurong typed: [You can call me A'Shu.]
[h.e.l.lo A'Shu!] Gu Siming was shocked. [Gaining a new teammate in one night. Captain is really fast!]
Xie Shurong had previously heard from Cat G.o.d that there was a very talented paladin in the team but he hadn't expected it to be a 17 year old boy. He couldn't help wondering, could this 17 year old boy be reliable?
Bai Xuan seemed to guess his doubts and took the initiative to send him a private message. [Xiao Gu is the most talented newcomer in the Dragon Warriors training camp. He hasn't played the game for long and is still tender, but he has great potential. He is also smart. If we train him well, he can definitely become a strong teammate.]
Xie Shurong dispelled the doubts in his heart. When he and Cheng Wei had won the rookie awards, he had just turned 18 and Cheng Wei was only 16 years old. Using age to judge a player wasn't reliable. Xiao Gu was 17 years old this year and would be 18 when the next season started. In fact, this wasn't too young. There were many outstanding young compet.i.tors in the league.
Xie Shurong thought up to here and replied to Bai Xuan. [Thank you for your explanation. I understand now.]
Bai Xuan: [You're welcome. It is what I should do.]
Xie Shurong couldn't help smiling. No wonder why people used to say that Vice-Captain Bai was gentle and careful. This man really was very considerate. He knew that Xie Shurong would be questioning Xiao Gu's ability and explained it clearly so that the teammates could get along.
While explaining to Xie Shurong, Bai Xuan also sent a message to Gu Siming. [A'Shu is a master. I will slowly tell you his specific history after entering the team. First try and see if you can keep up with his rhythm.]
A master swordsman? Where did he come from?
Gu Siming endured his strong curiosity and replied: [I know!]
[Come, let's do the bounty mission together.] Li Cangyu typed on the team channel before pulling his teammates into the voice room.
Gu Siming put on his headset and said, "Captain, I am only level 20. Will it be a hindrance if I do the bounty mission with you?"
"Don't be afraid, we will cover you. Raise your level first." Li Cangyu explained. "If you keep doing bounty missions, you should be able to reach level 27 by 12 o'clock. Once we go to sleep, you should go and level by yourself. You should be level 35 when we see each other tomorrow and we will go to an instance together."
"I have to gain 15 levels in one day?" Gu Siming asked while feeling great pressure.
“Yes, it is to test you." Li Cangyu replied.
Gu Siming immediately nodded. "Captain, I understand! I will complete the test!"
Li Cangyu smiled. "Good."
Gu Siming lit up after being praised by Cat G.o.d.
The four people teamed up at the bounty mission release point and once again received an escort NPC bounty mission.
In the case where no one intercepted it, the bounty mission was much smoother than playing an instance boss. By 8:30 in the evening, Li Cangyu had risen to level 32 and Xiao Gu also rose to level 22.
Everyone chatted while doing the mission and they didn't feel bored.
After receiving another bounty mission, Bai Xuan asked, "Is there still no one interfering in this round?"
He just finished speaking when a row of IDs suddenly appeared not far away. They were waiting there so it was clearly not a good thing.
Incredibly, it was the elite team led by President Popular Land Under Heaven of the Wind Colour Guild!
Xie Shurong was shocked. "They already lost two groups and they still want to send another? This is really high perseverance!"
Li Cangyu smiled. "I guess that they have found a helper."
***
The guild office of the Wind Colour team.
A cold-looking, handsome young man sat in front of the computer, his slender fingers quickly tapping the mouse to replay the video.
After watching the video, the teenager frowned slightly and said, "The first person point of view that you recorded isn't very clear. What happened?"
The president, Popular Land Under Heaven scratched his head with embarra.s.sment. "This is what happened. Last night, we led a team to intercept the bounty mission. We met a three member team and were killed by them. A'Zhou recorded it and wanted to ask G.o.d Qin Mo to look at it."
Qin Mo looked back with surprise. "You mean six people were killed by three people? The team was wiped out?"
"Yes." Popular Land Under Heaven wiped his sweat. "The team was wiped out twice…"
Qin Mo's eyes widened. "The team was destroyed twice?"
"…" Everyone present made an awkward expression.
To be honest, the news that the elite six member team of Time Colour had been wiped out twice had already spread through the new district so they didn't know what to do. They came to find Qin Mo because he was the youngest player on the team and they were the most familiar with him out of the players on the professional league side.
As for Captain Ling…
They didn't dare to disturb him at all! It would be complete humiliation!
Qin Mo frowned. "It is best not to let Master know about this. It is too disgraceful for Wind Colour."
Popular Land Under Heaven immediately agreed. "Yes yes, we will do our best to hide it from Captain Ling."
They couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if Captain Ling found out…
Qin Mo said, "Give me the account of a blood kin summoner. I will go to see who they are."
Vice President Same Boat Under Wind and Rain immediately handed over his computer.
***
Inside the game, Li Cangyu saw that the six people opposite were motionless and typed in the area channel: [President, are you coming for the bounty mission again?]
Popular Land Under Heaven looked at Qin Mo with embarra.s.sment.
Qin Mo was very decisive. He didn't say anything and directly pressed the PK b.u.t.ton.
[Player Same Boat Under Wind and Rain, blood kin race, summoner cla.s.s, level 32, is requesting to learn from you.]
Li Cangyu agreed.
The opposite blood kin summoner started with calling a blood spider to quickly and accurately bit Li Cangyu!
Once Xie Shurong saw this situation, he immediately said on the voice channel, "It is Qin Mo."
Bai Xuan was surprised and asked, "The genius boy of the Wind Colour team?"
"Yes." Xie Shurong said, "I have seen many Wind Colour games. It is his habit to start with a blood-sucking spider. It is like Cat G.o.d said. Since the Wind Colour Guild dared come to us again, they must've found a helper. The person controlling the blood kin summoner on the other side of the computer must be Qin Mo."
Li Cangyu listened to the two people on the voice chat and couldn't help wondering, "Who is Qin Mo?"
Gu Siming actively started to explain. "Captain, Qin Mo is one year younger than me! He is a rookie who just debuted this year in the Wind Colour team. He plays a blood kin summoner and is Captain Ling Xuefeng's only apprentice! He is also known as Wind Colour's little prince!"
Li Cangyu was silent for a moment. "Since he is Ling Xuefeng's apprentice, he is also counted as my apprentice. There is no need to take care of this child and I'll teach him a good lesson."
Everyone, “…”
Gu Siming lit a row of candles for Qin Mo.
Chapter 18 – Battle Between Summoners
Qin Mo had been thinking when he summoned the blood spider. Now it was the world of the demon and blood kin summoner, yet this Love to Eat Braised Fish was an elf summoner? Â How could he play with such an outdated style?
Sure enough, Qin Mo called the blood spider and the other person was motionless. He was bitter by the spider and his blood volume fell by 10%.
This level wasn't very good. He didn't even hide from the spider!
Qin Mo inwardly sneered and quickly called his second and third pets, the blood snake and the death knight.
***
In Miracle, different summoner types could summon different pets. For example, Li Cangyu's elf summoner could call the four spirits of water, fire, wind and thunder. Meanwhile, the blood kin summoner could call blood-sucking spiders, snakes, death knights and vampire bats.
Qin Mo's account was only level 32 and hadn't yet learned to summon the vampire bat. He only had the first three pets. The blood spider could freeze the opponent, the blood snake was an attack pet while the death knight was a defense pet that protected its master.
The blood kin summoner not only had a bodyguard in the death knight, they also had the blood-sucking effect of all pet attacks. This was one of the reasons why the blood kin summoner had extremely survivability.
Calling out so many pets at the same time, Qin Mo's idea was really obvious. He didn't put Love to Eat Braised Fish in his eyes and wanted to use violent suppression to directly wipe out the other side!
Playing with a large number of pets was very cool and also raised morale. Average players were abused by the rookie through this method.
Qin Mo's fingers quickly tapped the keyboard, easily controlling three pets. The death knight stayed around to protect him, the blood spider always followed the opponent to interfere with their positions while the blood snake followed to bite!
However…
The blood snake had just bitten the opponent and the blood volume had fallen to 70% when Qin Mo found that the other person unexpectedly disappeared from his field of view.
Flying Feather Steps!
He turned around and saw that Love to Eat Braised Fish had used Flying Feather Steps to teleport 90 degrees to the right.
Qin Mo slightly frowned, turned his mouse quickly to adjust the angle of view and let his blood snake bite the opponent again.
His blood snake was just about to bite when Love to Eat Braised Fish actually used Flying Feather Steps again to teleport 90 degrees to the left side!
Alternating displacement?
Some remote players on the field would indeed use footwork skills to alternate positions on the field. It was easy to make the opponent dizzy when repeatedly moving from left to right.
But who was Qin Mo? He was Ling Xuefeng's only apprentice! If he had no talent, how could Captain Ling accept him as an apprentice?
Li Cangyu's actions were fast but Qing Mo's angle of view change was also fast. He instantly aligned with the position of the elf summoner and tried to let his blood snake bite the opponent.
However, he was surprised to find that his snake was actually…
It got stuck in a big tree!
Li Cangyu sent a smiley face in the area channel: [Are you too excited? You should look at the terrain. There is a tree here.]
Qin Mo: […]
Once these words were sent, Li Cangyu finally started.
Unlike Qin Mo, who summoned three pets to suppress him, Li Cangyu only called one pet. It was his strongest group attack pet, the thunder spirit.
Thunder's Wrath's fell from the sky, hitting Qin Mo, his blood spider, blood snake and death knight!
It turned out that Li Cangyu had moved around like this to use the big tree to trap the blood snake and to also gather all of Qin Mo's pets in one place so they could be killed together!
Not good!
Qin Mo felt that the blood of all his pets had decreased and he quickly recalled the blood snake. However, Li Cangyu's goal wasn't the blood snake at all. He used Flying Feather Steps to slide around Qin Mo's body, summoned the fire spirit and instantly shot Fireb.a.l.l.s one after another towards the death knight!
Qin Mo thought that the opponent wanted to kill the blood snake only for him to kill the death knight. Qin Mo suddenly got a chill down his spine!
A death knight was called the second life of the blood kin summoner. He had been too careless and wanted to suppress the enemy, only to be the one to fall first.
Qin Mo's brow wrinkled even further.
The death knight had the longest cooldown time. It took 45 seconds to summon it again after it was killed. The skill was completely useless in this time and this was simply giving a chance to the opponent.
Qin Mo immediately turned and attacked the other person with a summoner's ordinary spells. Meanwhile, he placed the blood snake and spider on the left and right, surrounding the elf summoner!
Li Cangyu couldn't help feeling appreciation when he saw this scene. The young boy's double-line operation was very good. The triangle position of the two pets and the master could completely block the opponent. Ling Xuefeng's apprentice wasn't unskilled.
Unfortunately, he met Cat G.o.d who knew summoners very deeply.
Li Cangyu smiled and didn't panic. He didn't avoid the other side's pets and used Flying Feather Steps to quickly s.h.i.+ft. The blood spider and blood snake quickly followed him, leaving a clear path for the fire spirit to throw a Fireball at Qin Mo.
Qin Mo was very annoyed after being hit by the fireball.
A blood kin summoner who wasn't protected by the death knight was actually very fragile. His pets' attacks could suck blood but the speed at which the spider and snake chased Li Cangyu was definitely not as fast as the fire spirit attacking Qin Mo.
His pets didn't absorb much blood and as time pa.s.sed, he would certainly fall into a disadvantage.
Li Cangyu used this to create a very beautiful difference in blood volume.
In less than half a minute, Li Cangyu still had 45% of his blood left while Qin Mo, who had previously been dominant, only had 40% of his blood left!
***
The onlooker Xie Shurong couldn't help smiling. "Qin Mo was too careless. I guess that he doesn't know how he died.
Bai Xuan also smiled. "He dared to underestimate Cat G.o.d, this little boy's courage is too big. Even his master Ling Xuefeng doesn't dare underestimate our Cat G.o.d."
Li Cangyu said, "Okay, don't put me on a pedestal. The cooldown of his death knight is finished.
He just finished speaking when Qin Mo immediately called out his death knight!
The 45 second cooldown was finally over and the death knight killed by Li Cangyu was summoned again.
The death knight was designed to be tall and burly, with a silver mask over his face and beautiful dark red armour. This was one of the blood kin summoner's pets and the master's best bodyguard. As long as he existed, all damage that the master received was reduced by 20% and he also had a 'Guardian' skill. Once used, he could take all damage for his master for three seconds.
Qin Mo sighed with relief once he had the death knight around to protect him.
Li Cangyu saw the defensive pet appear and immediately recalled the fire spirit. He stopped attacking Qin Mo and transferred the attack signal to the blood snake.
Fireball, Fireball, Fireball… Summon Thunder Spirit, Thunder's Wrath!
It was a simple skills linkage and the cooldown time was well grasped. The result was purple thunder falling from the sky and Qin Mo's blood spider and blood snake being smashed together.
Qin Mo: […]
d.a.m.n! This time the death knight appeared and the enemy no longer attack him, turning to kill the spider and snake instead!
Qin Mo was simply going to collapse!
Today he played like he had shackles on his hands and feet. It felt like every move was calculated by the other party and he had fallen into a trap every step… this feeling was particularly irritating.
Qin Mo's finger quickly pressed the keyboard and he killed the fire spirit with a summoner's basic attack.
He didn't have any attack pets and the summoner's own spell damage was very low. But the opponent's fire elf didn't have much blood left. He might not be able to kill the master but killing the pet was still possible.
Li Cangyu saw him move the target and couldn't help typing: [You should kill my fire spirit.]
Qin Mo was still for a moment and didn't respond to the other person.
Once his spirit recovered, the youth in front of the computer suddenly reddened. Why the h.e.l.l was this person trying to teach him?
The Wind Colour guild members also looked at each other. They didn't expect that the elf summoner could use his hands to quickly type while escaping with Flying Feather Steps.
Big G.o.d Qin Mo must be angry enough to cough up blood. The opponent actually had room to type?
Qin Mo's thoughts were messed up while the fire spirit was killed in a few seconds. Li Cangyu immediately summoned his water spirit and started to attack the opponent with Water Ball.
The water spirit could freeze the opponent and cause certain damage. This damage wasn't high but the effect on the body was still quite powerful. Li Cangyu needed to freeze Qin Mo and stall until he could use the thunder spirit's big move to kill Qin Mo and his death knight!
Qin Mo was entangled by the water spirit and wanted to hit his keyboard.
The movement speed of the blood kin wasn't as good as the elves. Once frozen by the water spirit, he couldn't catch up to the opponent. His spider and snake were also on cooldown and his attack power was insufficient. Without the protection of the death knight, he would already be dead.
He could only hope for the spider and snake's cooldown to end. The result was that once he summoned them…
The opposite summoner also called his fire elf and thunder elf. A bunch of fireb.a.l.l.s came followed by another Thunder's Wrath!
Boom! The residual blood Qin Mo was directly killed!
***
Qin Mo couldn't respond to what happened as the screen in front of him turned grey from the character's death.
The battle was too fast and the summoner was like a gust of wind. He was on the left for one moment, on the right and then behind… He was an unpredictable ghost and combined with his accurate grasp of the pet skills…
Qin Mo felt… he was killed by the other person like a stupid dog.
He had his own pride since his debut. He was the disciple of Ling Xuefeng, the strongest demon player in the league!
He might be a rookie who debuted this season but he was definitely the most powerful rookie in recent years. On the field, he used a wave of pets to suppress his opponents and beat a lot of players. Even the captains of other teams evaluated him as a rare genius boy.
He had never been this depressed.
In today's battle between summoners, he not only couldn't kill the opponent but he was restricted everywhere. It was like the summoner entered his head and predicted all his thoughts in advance.
This was a horrible feeling.
Qin Mo felt pain in his head and could only grab his hair in agitation.
After killing Qin Mo in the game, Li Cangyu sent him a serious private chat. [You have a lot of talent but you are too impulsive.] The field isn't just a concept. You rushed all out with your pets without knowing the strength of your opponent. In fact, you have been pa.s.sive since the beginning.]
Qin Mo, "…"
Li Cangyu continued: [Go back to your Master and learn some more. There is still a lot of room for improvement.]
Qin Mo, "…"
The teenager's small face reddened. After a while, he quickly typed: [Who are you?]
Li Cangyu sent a smiling expression. [It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that you lost because you carelessly underestimated the enemy.]
His words… they seemed reasonable!
Qin Mo was unable to refute them and dizzily turned away from the keyboard.
The Wind Colour guild members looked at each other the office staying silent for a while.
***
The Wind Colour team's training room.
Qin Mo walked with a lowered head and almost crashed into a person. Vice-Captain Yan Ruiwen just wanted to go out when he saw this young boy's tortured expression. He couldn't help wondering, "Xiao Qin? What's wrong?"
Qin Mo didn't speak but his expression made him look like he was crying.
Yan Ruiwen smiled and rubbed his head. "Your master is looking for you. Go ahead."
"…Oh." Qin Mo walked to the quietest corner of the training room and saw a man sitting there, staring intently at the computer screen.
This man's facial lines seemed like they had been elaborated carved by the Creator. The combination of facial features gave off a handsome and courageous air. The cold lights of the training room were projected on him, forming a strange glow around his body that made him look G.o.d-like. In particular, his deep and dark eyes that were as bright as a star seemed like a sword that could instantly penetrate the hearts of people.
Ling Xuefeng, one of the top five of the Miracle Professional League. He was also ranked in the top five most popular players and was ranked first on the demon race players list for many years.
The captains of the various teams in the league were different but Captain Ling of the Wind Colour team was definitely the most difficult to provoke.
Qin Mo might be his only apprentice but this man was born with the aura of a strong king. He might not be fierce to players and was even mild, but the players were in awe of him and didn't dare do anything in front of him.
Qin Mo saw that he was looking at the team standings on the league's official website and carefully asked, "Master, you were looking for me?"
Ling Xuefeng didn't speak any nonsense and got straight to the point. "Tomorrow, you will play in the arena against Time. Do you have any problems with this?"
“…" Qin Mo didn't answer.
Ling Xuefeng raised his head in confusion and found that this young boy was depressed. His lips were pale and he seemed to have completely lost his confidence.
"What happened?" Ling Xuefeng turned and asked in a soft voice.
