God Level Summoner Chapter 8-9

Chapter 8 – Night of Yisu City (1)

Night of Yisu City, it was the lowest level six member team instance in Miracle.

The low level instances weren't designed to be too hard, so as to not let novices lost confidence in playing. This instance was known as the 'experience book' and could be successfully cleared as long as the player's hands weren't disabled. The experience of the mobs was very high and it was a s.p.a.ce opened independently for the team. There were no outsiders to disturb the team, meaning teams could kill the mobs and level very fast.

However, this was based on the premise that it was a full six member team.

Li Cangyu's team currently only had three people. If these three people were general players and encountered such a large number of mobs after entering, it was likely they would be destroyed. Gu Siming had some worries in his heart but the other two players were professional G.o.ds. He soon left this type of worry behind.

This instance had a dimly lit night view and had a relatively simple map. After entering the gate, there was only one road leading to the boss' residence. There were many 'mutant humans' on the roadside patrolling in groups of four. Killing these mutant humans would give a high amount of experience. The group of four mutant humans had a hatred-linked mode. This meant that no matter which one was attacked, the four mobs were simultaneously come over.

Li Cangyu observed the distribution of mobs in the instance and said, "We will take the left four. Xiao Gu will pull them while I will kill them."

"Okay!" Gu Siming obediently rushed forward and used the knight's lowest level Howl skill to attract the four mobs on the left.

He was a knight with thick flesh but he was besieged by four mobs at the same time, causing the speed of his blood loss to be amazing.

Bai Xuan immediately gave him a bit of treatment and filled up his blood by a small amount.

Li Cangyu picked a mob and used the summoned water elf to trap the mobs in the same place. Then he attacked the mobs with the water spirit's primary skill, Water Ball.

The elf summoner's water spirit pet didn't have a strong attack. Fortunately, Li Cangyu wasn't in a hurry and slowly hit the mobs in an orderly manner.

The pressure on Gu Siming was big. One mob might be taken away by Li Cangyu but there were still three mutant humans who were madly attacking him. After seeing that his blood was reaching the bottom and his healer wasn't responding, Gu Siming had no choice but to start walking away from the mobs towards Bai Xuan, jumping twice in the air.

Bai Xuan saw him jumping and gave him the gift of a small healing.

"…" Gu Siming wanted to cry.

He didn't move after the healing, surely he hadn't fallen asleep? Or perhaps Gu Siming guessed wrong. Was this healer not Vice-Captain Bai Xuan?

Li Cangyu saw the little boy anxiously jumping around the three mutant humans and laughed. He looked back at Bai Xuan and whispered, "You haven't changed your nature of bullying newcomers?"

Bai Xuan shrugged. "Don't worry, I'll make sure he won't die. I'll just take this opportunity to see his level of movements."

—I'll make sure he won't die.

A healer who dared say this sentence obviously had a strong confidence.

The facts also proved this. Every time Gu Siming's blood volume was about to run out, Bai Xuan accurately pulled his health back with healing. It felt like dancing on a steel wire.

The frightened Gu Siming dragged the mobs around for a long time and found that while his blood reached the bottom several times, he never really died. After thinking about it, he finally understood. The G.o.ds were testing him!

Gu Siming figured this out and immediately became energetic. He dragged the mobs and started to walk in a skillful way, minimizing the burden on the healer.

The three people didn't speak as they slowly killed the four mobs. Gu Siming was still somewhat confused about the operation of these two people.

Maybe it was because there were too few skills and the instance was too simple?

The level of Li Cangyu's kiting was really high and the mobs basically couldn't touch his clothes. However, many veterans of online games could do this so it was impossible to see his true strength.

As for G.o.d Bai Xuan… He was a complete soy sauce, only occasionally giving heals to Gu Siming. Gu Siming wondered if he was actually watching a movie…

(Soy sauce=bystander, person minding their own business)

After five minutes, all the mobs in the instance were cleared. Gu Siming saw the boss and immediately rushed forward. Then Li Cangyu said, "Go out then enter again. We will continue to kill the mobs."

Gu Siming stopped and asked with surprise, "Captain, we aren't fighting the boss?"

“It's a waste of time." Li Cangyu continued, "Once we reach level 12, we will learn the skills and fight it!"

"Oh!" Gu Siming didn't ask anything else. He just obediently followed them out of the instance. Li Cangyu reset the instance and they entered again. The mobs had really refreshed and they followed the same method again.

The process of killing the mobs was simple and boring. Fortunately, Li Cangyu was very patient… the captain didn't say anything So Gu Siming was even more embarra.s.sed to raise objections. After killing the mobs for 20 minutes, Gu Siming had almost become sleepy when the three people finally reached level 12.

"Okay." Li Cangyu said, "Go back to the main city and learn the skills."

Gu Siming's spirit was shocked and he returned to Yisu City with the two great G.o.ds.

There was a building next to the fountain in Yisu City that contained 12 cla.s.s skill instructors. The level of the skills increased based on the floor. They were level 12 novices so they could only learn skills on the first floor.

Li Cangyu found the summoner skills instructor and learned the second skill of the elf summoner, Summon Fire Spirit.

The water and fire spirits were the most commonly used pets of an elf summoner. The water spirit was for control while the fire spirit was the main output. Before, only the water spirit killed the mobs so fighting the boss would be very slow. Li Cangyu sensibly chose to level up first to receive the fire spirit skill.

Bai Xuan learned the priest's 'Healing Array', which was the priest's first ability to add blood to the group.

Gu Siming learnt the knight's 'Guardian Power' skill, which generated a guardian to enhance defense by 800% in order to protect himself or a designated teammate for 8 seconds. The skill effect created a golden s.h.i.+eld around the body.

After learning the skills, the three people entered the instance again.

Gu Siming just entered the instance and wanted to pull the four mobs on the left side. However, Li Cangyu's actions were faster than him. He called the water spirit to trap one and used the fire spirit to pull away the other three. He moved quickly while attacking the mobs with fireb.a.l.l.s. Beautiful flames emerged from the body of the fire elves one after another, causing a dizzying effect.

In the blink of an eye, four mobs fell to the ground. This killing speed really made Gu Siming stunned!

Gu Siming, "…"

He basically didn't act as the main T. He just watched Cat G.o.d soloing out the four mobs!

Gu Siming felt tearful.

Bai Xuan saw the knight standing in the same place and typed privately to him: [Just follow Cat G.o.d and act as soy sauce. He has more pets so killing a few mobs isn't any trouble for him.]

Gu Siming recovered and agreed. [Yes! Let's just follow him as soy sauce!]

Li Cangyu's gameplay was greatly limited when he had only one water spirit pet. He couldn't show any difference between him and other summoners. Once the fire spirit appeared, his skill level was immediately revealed. He accurately switched between the two pets by taking into account the cooldown time and smoothly connected the pet skills, dazzling people.

He was so powerful with only two pets. Imagine how terrible Li Cangyu would be after gaining seven pets in the late game!

Gu Siming excited asked, "Cat G.o.d, your elf summoner's movement speed is so fast. Are you taking the full agility route?"

This little guy's eyes weren't bad to be able to see this. Li Cangyu smiled and said, "Yes, I am used to playing this build."

The so-called full agility meant adding all stat points to 'agility.'

From level 5 onwards, Li Cangyu added his five points from levelling up to agility. Combined with the natural agility of the elf race, the advantage of his full agility gradually started to be revealed at level 12.

High agility meant that not only was his movement speed faster, the cooldown time of skills also decreased.

Using this premise, Li Cangyu quickly summoned two elf spirits, the water and fire spirits, while using Flying Feather Steps to walk between the mobs. There was almost no blood loss as he killed the four mobs at the fastest speed.

Bai and Gu basically didn't need to do anything as Li Cangyu dealt with the mobs.

Gu Siming had only heard rumours about Cat G.o.d playing the elf summoner. It was only once he saw Li Cangyu's operations today that he realized the full agility elf summoner required a very high hand speed. How much psychological pressure would the opponent have once the seven pets were complete?

The elf summoner itself moved very quickly. If he summoned the seven pets quickly and used the pet skills…

Wouldn't it be 1V8 for his opponent?

Fortunately, they were teammates!

Gu Siming thought that he was lucky. He was already dizzy seeing the light of the dazzling pets summoned. How could he fight against them?

He hugged Cat G.o.d's thighs and gained experience as a soy sauce. Gu Siming didn't need to do anything and just happily counted the experience appearing above his head. Meanwhile, he was bored and chattered with G.o.d Bai Xuan in a private chat.

[Great G.o.d, are you Vice-Captain Bai? Are you with Cat G.o.d?]

[Yes. You guessed right.]

[Hehe. Gu Siming smiled and scratched his head. [Did Cat G.o.d play the elf summoner before?]

[Yes, a few people challenged him and were beaten up by him.]

[So strong!] Gu Siming exclaimed. [The most common summoner in the Miracle Professional League are the demon and blood kin type. How can he play an elf summoner?]

[The elf summoner is strong due to the quick summoning of pets and a very high speed is required. Only those who have an explosive hand speed of more than 500 can complete such complicated operations. There are few players in the Miracle Professional League with a speed of over 500 so it isn't rare for few players to play the elf summoner.] Bai Xuan patiently typed and explained.

The hand speed, which was the number of times the fingers pressed the keys per unit of time was referred to as APM.

Hand speed was extremely important for e-sports players but it wasn't the only evaluation for a player. The requirements for different cla.s.ses weren't the same. For example, a 220 hand speed was sufficient for a defensive type knight while a healer usually required a 300 hand speed.

Li Cangyu liked the extremely quick gamely of a summoner. Once he broke out with his attacks, his hand speed would break the limit of 500. Therefore, while he was playing Miracle, he had the nickname of Lightning Cat G.o.d to describe his lightning fast fingers.

Gu Siming thought about it carefully and suddenly realized. "The blood kin's pet can suck blood while the demon summoner has a high survivability so their speed requirements isn't as high as the elves. That's why blood kin and demon summoners are currently more popular in the Miracle Professional League?]

Bai Xuan sent a smiling expression. [You are really clever.]

Gu Siming was very happy to be praised. His hands excitedly hit the keyboard as he typed: [Right! Talking about hand speed, the faster player in the Miracle League is currently Ling Xuefeng?"

Bai Xuan was stunned when he saw this familiar name and his mood became a bit complicated…

After a moment of silence, Bai Xuan typed: [It seems you know a lot about Miracle and Ling Xuefeng?]

Gu Siming typed seriously: [I might be a newcomer in the training camp but I will be playing the game in the future. I should always know about the opponent. Besides, Captain Ling is very popular. He is the captain of the Wind Warriors team and the league's strongest demon summoner!]

Bai Xuan sent a smiling expression. [Yes, he is currently the fastest player in the Miracle League. His hand speed is similar to Cat G.o.d."

Gu Siming became even more excited after finding a common topic. [I have seen many videos of Captain Ling playing the game. The use of the demon pets to suppress the opponent's gameplay is particularly powerful, causing the opponents to be breathless! His single player win rate is super high and he is ranked first in the demon race. Fans call him the devil!]

Bai Xuan wondered: [You know him so well. Are you his fan?]

Gu Siming was embarra.s.sed once his thoughts were pierced and scratched his head. [Hehe, I really like his style of play. I feel it is particularly cool!]

[The demon summoner is cool but you will cry when you meet him in the field.] Bai Xuan joked.

[Of course! I certainly can't beat Captain Ling!] After thinking about it, Gu Siming asked with bright eyes: [Can Cat G.o.d beat Captain Ling?]

[Not necessarily.] Bai Xuan didn't give a definite answer but he said: [They have rarely fought alone.]

Gu Siming was stunned by this remark. According to his understanding, Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu should be players of the same period. When Li Cangyu played Miracle for two years, how could he not fight alone with Ling Xuefeng?

Moreover, since both of them played summoners, shouldn't they have competed in the 1V1 Summoner Compet.i.tion?

Gu Siming was filled with curiosity and wanted to ask more details when Li Cangyu suddenly spoke in the voice channel. "Are you two still chatting? It is time to face the boss."

"…" A drop of cold sweat immediately form on Gu Siming's forehead!

They followed Cat G.o.d all this way while acting as a soy sauce. Now it was time to hit the boss but the two soy sauces were still standing there chatting.

[I understand!] Gu Siming immediately raised the knight's s.h.i.+eld and actively rushed to the boss.

TL: A certain important someone has made a quick appearance, hehe.

Chapter 9 – Night of Yisu City (2)

The boss of the Night of Yisu City instance was called Enoch and he was the leader of the mutant humans in this instance.

According to the plot of Miracle, he was originally a terran guardian in the western suburbs of Yisu City. Later, he was influenced by black magic, lost his senses, took control of the group of mutant humans and remained here to kill innocent people.

Bai Xuan moved his mouse over the boss' head to see his properties and said, "I can't see his blood volume but a level 10 terran boss shouldn't be too difficult?"

Gu Siming was momentarily stunned when he heard another voice on the headset but he quickly responded to Bai Xuan's words.

If Li Cangyu's upright voice made people feel respect and obedience then Bai Xuan's soft voice would make people feel a sense of intimacy. The two people were decisive and simple, gentle and friendly, they had a very harmonious atmosphere as team captain and vice-captain.

Gu Siming thought about how to pull the boss away from Bai Xuan when he heard Li Cangyu say on the voice channel, "I haven't played Miracle's instances for several years and don't remember the skills of this boss. Do you know?"

Gu Siming replied positively. "I know! I just played this with a side account a few days ago. This boss has a naming skill and a group attack skill. The naming skill will seal the targeted player for three seconds and there will be a critical hit at the end. The group attack skill is attacked in a 120 degree range in front of him."

Once Li Cangyu heard this, he bowed his head and thought about it. "These two skills are quite easy to deal with. Xiao Gu will pull the boss while Xiao Bai will watch his blood."

Bai Xuan looked at him. "Can you not call me Xiao Bai? It really isn't a good name to listen to."

Li Cangyu laughed. "Then should I call you Big Bai?"

Bai Xuan stared at him. "Is it okay to call you Big Cat?" (For those who don't name Xiao=small/little)

"…" The consequences of not having a healer was very serious so Li Cangyu decided not to provoke him. He smiled and patted Bai Xuan on the shoulder, saying seriously, "I won't call you Xiao Bai. I will call you Milk G.o.d because you are really the best healer I have seen."

After seeing this guy turn away when the situation went wrong, Bai Xuan couldn't do anything. He had no choice but to give Gu Siming a status that increased the healing effect and said, "Okay, let's go quickly."

Gu Siming raised the knight s.h.i.+eld, went to the boss and clicked to talk to him. The name on top of the boss turned red, indicating that the boss battle was officially opened.

After attracting the boss' attention, Gu Siming immediately pulled the boss and turned the boss' back to his two teammates. This way, only one person would be attacked when the boss released his fan-shaped group attack skill. The two people behind him wouldn't be affected.

Gu Siming's boss pulling technique was very good and he managed it in three seconds.

Li Cangyu waited for the boss to stabilize before started to attack, summoning the fire spirits and quickly throwing fireb.a.l.l.s at the boss.

Fireball, this was the primary attack skill of the fire spirit pet and required the master to press the b.u.t.ton to start.

Li Cangyu's hand speed was very fast and he pressed the keyboard as soon as the skill cooled down. He didn't waste even 0.1 seconds.

From Gu Siming's perspective, he saw small fireb.a.l.l.s fly one after another in succession towards the boss at the fastest speed. It was as beautiful as fireworks, making the night sky of the instance as bright as daylight!

Cat G.o.d's technique was too gorgeous!

Gu Siming was feeling amazed when the boss dealt a common attack and his blood volume suddenly fell by a huge amount.

Fortunately, Bai Xuan's blood adding technique was very skillful. He used a small healing skill combined with one that continuously restored blood for a certain amount of time. In the case of three people attacking the boss, Gu Siming's blood volume was maintained by Bai Xuan at 60%.

This was the three people's first cooperation but they had a tacit understanding and the boss' blood volume was reduced to 80%.

At this moment, the boss suddenly waved his hands and a white light with a 120 degree fan shape appeared in front of him. There was a loud boom and Gu Siming's blood bar instantly flashed red with alarm!

This group attack skill was powerful and directly wiped out nearly 60% of the blood of the main T.

It could be imagined that if the fragile outputs were standing in front of the boss, they might directly be wiped out by this group attack!

Bai Xuan saw that Xiao Gu's blood bar was at the bottom and immediately let out a burst of fast hand speed to crazily restore blood.

A level 12 healer only had a primary healing skill and one blood returning array (heal over time) skill. He could only restore blood with the quick and simple method. Fortunately, Bai Xuan was extremely fast at critical junctures and cast healing skills dozens of times, quickly returned Gu Siming's blood volume to the safety line.

But to make it worst, a line of words suddenly appeared above the boss' head, accompanied by a roar. [Love to Eat Braised Fish, you dare to kill my companions!]

The earth-shattering roar almost broke the three people's eardrum.

This was obviously the precursor to the launch of the naming skill.

Sure enough, the boss just finished speaking when a silver light appeared on the named summoner 'Love to Eat Braised Fish.'

According to Xiao Gu, the effect of this light was to seal the player for three seconds. In the next three seconds, Li Cangyu wouldn't be able to do anything. After these three seconds ended, the boss with deal a critical hit to the named player.

Bai Xuan immediately aimed at Love to Eat Braised Fish's blood. Since he was standing behind the boss and not affected by the group attack skill, Love to Eat Braised Fish was still full of blood. However, a summoner's defense was very weak. Even if he was full of blood, he might not survive the boss' critical hit.

He wanted to open his mouth to tell Xiao Gu to cast a s.h.i.+eld but he hadn't had time to talk when Gu Siming wisely used the knight's Guardian Power on the summoner's body. The knight's guardian power increased his teammate's defense by 800% for eight seconds. With this powerful s.h.i.+eld around his body, the fragile summoner would surely safely pa.s.s the boss' critical hit.

Bai Xuan couldn't help appreciation this young boy's quick response.

When he thought of the main T of the disbanded Canglan team, he couldn't help feeling bitter. If that person was here, he certainly wouldn't have reacted so quickly. In fact, a teammate's cooperation was often more important than personal ability. Li Cangyu's output was strong but he also needed the timely protection of his teammates.

Li Cangyu couldn't help rejoicing as he saw the s.h.i.+eld in front of him. It seemed that Liu Chuan's young boy really wasn't ordinary.

Thanks to this tacit cooperation, the process of facing the boss was very smooth.

Gu Siming was young but his responses were very keen. Bai Xuan's healing was rea.s.suring and Li Cangyu's attack speed was also very stable. The three of them took 10 minutes to finally kill the boss!

[Congratulations to the players Love to Eat Braised Fish, Love to Eat Twice-cooked Pork and As the Name Suggests for the 'Killing Enoch' achievement!]

Once this system achievement message popped up, the experience of the three people rose sharply and the white light signaling a level up appeared around their bodies. They had reached level 13.

Gu Siming excitedly said, "Fighting a boss is equivalent to killing five rounds of mobs. The experience is great! It is just that the speed of three people killing the boss is too slow. We only have Cat G.o.d as the output."

"Cat G.o.d is equivalent to two outputs." Bai Xuan smiled and praised, "Right Cat G.o.d?"

"Of course." Li Cangyu wasn't modest about receiving praise and openly admitted it. He walked to the boss and looked at the dropped parcels on the ground. "First check what the rewards are."

The screen showed the random reward for killing the boss: three pieces of blue gear.

Miracle's equipment in order from low to high was white, blue, purple and gold. Gold equipment must be hand-made with a variety of rare materials, purple equipment was dropped by bosses in difficult 30 people instances or exchanged with arena points. Six people instances generally only dropped blue equipment with ordinary attributes while the various beautiful clothing sold in stores were white with no attributes.

The attributes of the blue equipment were ordinary but it was sufficient for the early levels.

This time, the instance boss dropped three pieces of blue equipment: a pair of shoes for healers and clothes that gave magic defense. Li Cangyu gave these items to Bai Xuan. There was also a helmet suitable for knights and this was a.s.signed to Xiao Gu.

He didn't take anything for himself.

In any case, he had Bai Xuan to cover him and didn't need defensive equipment.

He was really willful with a milk G.o.d around.

They played the instance five times and the boss dropped three pieces of equipment every time. The three people quickly gathered blue equipment, making it easier to fight the boss.

The time was close to noon and the three people all rose to level 15. Then Li Cangyu suddenly realized a problem and asked, "Xiao Gu, isn't it midnight right now in China?"

Gu Siming glanced at the bottom right corner of his computer and found that it had reached 23:45 without him knowing.

However, based on Cat G.o.d's question, was he abroad?

The confused Gu Siming wondered, "Captain, it is 23:45 right now. You aren't at home?"

"Yes, I am currently in the United States with Bai Xuan and it is noon." Li Cangyu asked, "Do you want to go to bed first?"

Gu Siming replied, "It doesn't matter. Boss said that my training will be carried out with Captain, not anyone else. I can play with you at night and sleep during the day."

Li Cangyu thought about it but felt that a 17 year old often staying up late wasn't good for his health. Through observations in these instances, he found that Gu Siming's foundations were very solid. The Dragon Warriors' training camp had professional training software and the trained players naturally weren't bad.

Xiao Gu was already half a professional player and clearing instances wasn't useful for him. In order to train his senses, it was necessary to go to the arena after reaching max level and fight against other cla.s.ses.

Li Cangyu thought up to here and said, "The time that I go online with Bai Xuan isn't fixed. You can follow the Dragon Warriors' schedule and look for us after you go online. If we aren't online, watch videos from the Miracle Professional League."

Gu Siming protested, "Captain, I want to play with you…"

This little boy's voice sounded pitiful at the thought of being abandoned.

Li Cangyu said helplessly, "It is noon over here and I will go to sleep at 11 in the evening. Do you want to stay up late with us until 11 o'clock tomorrow?"

Gu Siming cried out, "No problem! I slept this afternoon and I'm full of spirit. I won't be sleepy if I play until 11 tomorrow!"

Li Cangyu, "…"

No wonder why Liu Chuan said this boy was a little madman, he really had fighting spirit!

Bai Xuan brokered a compromise. "If you don't like it then how about this? Xiao Gu will go to sleep at 1 in the morning and then wake up early tomorrow to level up with us. After we go to sleep, you can keep levelling or watch game videos."

Li Cangyu agreed with Bai Xuan's approach. He was no longer swayed and decisively said, "Then I will allow you to play for another hour."

With this 17 year old boy, Li Cangyu felt like he had a son and was even worrying about the boy's rest!

Gu Siming listened to his captain and didn't insist on staying up late with them. "Then I will go to the toilet and also change my computer. Wait two minutes for me!"

His face was dim, probably because the computer had been switched on for too long.

Li Cangyu looked back and asked, "What do you think?"

The two people had been partners for many years and Bai Xuan naturally knew what he was asking. "He has quick responses and a solid foundation. His potential is very good. He is too young and his mind needs to be honed. Otherwise, he won't be able to carry the front line when encountering a strong team."

"Yes." Li Cangyu nodded in agreement. "He is a good seedling and will definitely improve with training."

Gu Siming decisively finished his business in the toilet and then his clear voice was heard through the headset. "Captain, I'm back. We can continue!"

Li Cangyu said cheerfully, "Yes, there is still one hour. We will rise to level 20 in one breath!"
