God Level Summoner Chapter 92-94

Chapter 92 – Battle Arena

Li Cangyu logged into the game, opened the guild window and saw that the contribution points was once again full.

Vice President Small Elf saw him online and immediately sent a private chat message: [President, the contribution points are full. We can rise to a level five guild!]

Li Cangyu sent him an encouragement emoji and replied: [You've worked hard.]

Small Elf smiled. [You're welcome President!]

Li Cangyu went to the guild administrator to upgrade the Food Squad to a level five guild. The server immediately issued a golden announcement.

[Congratulations to the Food Squad for upgrading to level 5! A level five guild has no limit on the number of people. Feel free to apply!]

The presidents of the major guilds were stoic when they saw this.

The president of the Food Squad was Cat G.o.d. This wasn't a secret among the presidents of the large guilds. However, Luo Xiaoluo didn't know the truth. He sent a message to President Time Machine: [President, the Food Squad has reached level five! What should we do next? Continue to ally with them?]

Time Machine sent him a smiling expression. [Of course, this is the guild of Cat G.o.d.]

Luo Xiaoluo wondered: [Cat G.o.d? Which Cat G.o.d?]

Time Machine: [Your favourite Cheng Wei's idol, Cat G.o.d.]

Luo Xiaoluo: […]

Oh my G.o.d! He thought this person was Cheng Wei's fan and even used Cheng Wei's signature to lure him to join the guild!

When he saw Braised Fish change to a summoner's weapon in the novice village, he also directed in a righteous manner: [You are a novice. Elves should play archers or hunters.]

Luo Xiaoluo's face turned red with humiliation as he remembered all of this. A big rookie actually tried to guide Cat G.o.d!

Luo Xiaoluo's fingers trembled and he sent a message to Love to Eat Braised Fish: [Are you really Cat G.o.d?]

Li Cangyu replied: [Did Time Machine tell you?]

Luo Xiaoluo: [Yes!]

Li Cangyu smiled and typed: [I am Cat G.o.d.]

Luo Xiaoluo was silent for a moment before shamelessly asking: [Cat G.o.d, can you give me a signature?]

Li Cangyu was surprised. [Aren't you Cheng Wei's fan?]

Luo Xiaoluo: [Cheng Wei's idol is also my idol! Cat G.o.d, please give me a signature!]

Li Cangyu couldn't help laughing. [Okay. But you have to keep this matter a secret for the time being. Don't tell anyone else.]

Luo Xiaoluo immediately sent a row of smiling emojis. [I know Cat G.o.d! I will keep your secret.]

These players in the online game might not be comparable to professional players but Li Cangyu felt they had some lovely points, especially the three cla.s.smates. This person was Cheng Wei's fan, so there was no need to put on the act of a 'great G.o.d.'

[President, why haven't you been online these days?] Small Elf sent another message.

Li Cangyu replied: [I'm in New York and went to watch the Carnival.]

Small Elf was envious. [You went to the venue to watch it?]

[Yes.]

[Did you see Captain Ling? Was it close up? Is he handsome?]

Li Cangyu thought, 'Not only did I meet him, but I also hugged him while sleeping.'

[I saw him. He is more handsome than his photos.] Li Cangyu didn't hesitate to boast about his sweetheart.

Small Elf excitedly said: [I also wanted to go to watch but a student has no money to go abroad. I don't know when the Carnival will be held in China!]

Li Cangyu smiled. [It will happen one day. As long as China's Miracle players are recognised around the world, the World Compet.i.tion might be held in China.]

This was his best wish. He might not be there personally when the moment came but he believed that one day, the stage of the world's e-sports compet.i.tion could also be moved to China.

[By the way, I bought gifts for the three of you. I asked my friend to bring them back to China so give me your address and I'll mail them to you.] On the day that he showed Xiao Han around, he bought three sets of commemorative bookmarks. They were out of print domestically and Li Cangyu was very grateful to the three university students for helping him manage the guild. Therefore, he bought souvenirs for the three people.

Small Elf was thrilled. [Thank you, President! I'm so touched, hahaha!]

Li Cangyu smiled and typed: [There is one more thing I have to trouble you with. I am going to open a Food Squad cross-server arena challenge. Those who pa.s.s the first challenge will win 50,000 gold coins and the second challenge will give one million gold coins. For the next few days, please make a program and publicise it on the forums.]

Small Elf was stunned: [One million? Our guild warehouse doesn't have that much money!]

Li Cangyu sent a row of smiling faces. [Don't be afraid. No one can take the money away.]

Small Elf: […]

Li Cangyu: [Rest a.s.sured, we won't make a loss from the business. Just do it.]

The reward of one million gold sounded terrible since they would go bankrupt if they lost. However, the president probably had another purpose apart from increasing the fame of the Food Squad.

Small Elf thought this and immediately agreed. [I will discuss it with the other two and write a promotional post. After it is done, I will show it to President.]

***

The publicity post was soon written and Small Elf sent it to Li Cangyu's mailbox. Li Cangyu looked at it carefully. This guy was very talented. He was probably on the promotional committee or part of the student a.s.sociation's promotional department at school. The advertis.e.m.e.nt was excellent and full of appeal.

Li Cangyu said with relief: [Very good. Post it on Sunday night.]

There were still two days until Sunday. Li Cangyu delayed it because Xiao Han hadn't given him a definite answer yet. He just thought this when his phone lit up. Xiao Han had sent him a text message. [Master, I told my father. He didn't agree…]

Li Cangyu smiled helplessly. It seemed he would have to go there in person.

Li Cangyu wanted to thoroughly understand Xiao Han's situation, so he replied: [Don't be afraid, I'll come tomorrow to see you.]

***

The next afternoon, Li Cangyu took the bus to Boston and found the address that Xiao Han had given him. It was Xiao Han's home.

Li Cangyu entered and found that Xiao Han was the only one at home. In the living room, there was a photo of a trio. Xiao Han was only six or seven years old in the photo. He looked like an innocent and ignorant child. The blond hair and black eyes made him look like a lovely angel.

His father was Chinese. He wasn't very handsome but his facial features were dignified and he looked very tough. His mother was a blonde, blue-eyed American with white skin and a stunning appearance. Both husband and wife were smiling and seemed very loving. However, there were no signs of a female around the house.

Li Cangyu was very sharp and soon realised that Xiao Han's mother might not be here anymore.

Xiao Han saw that his master's gaze was on the photo and couldn't help lowering his head. "My mother died of breast cancer. It happened soon after my father brought me to America."

It was no wonder that this child was so proud and stubborn. Many children who grew up in single-parent homes would be particularly rebellious. Li Cangyu saw him hanging his head and couldn't help feeling distressed. He gently patted his apprentice's head.

Xiao Han cried out stubbornly, "I'm fine. It has been many years and I haven't been sad for a long time."

Li Cangyu was silent for a moment before changing the topic. "What about your father?"

Xiao Han said, "My father went to the law firm because he needs to deal with a lawsuit." He took the initiative to pour water for Li Cangyu was he spoke. "Master, drink some water. Do you want me to make something for you to eat?"

Li Cangyu was surprised. "You can cook?"

Xiao Han scratched his head with embarra.s.sment. "It isn't as delicious as Vice-Captain Bai's cooking."

Li Cangyu laughed. "There is no need. I'm not hungry. I will talk to your father when he returns."

This teenager reminded Li Cangyu of himself.

In the beginning, he was the same age as Xiao Han and embarked on this challenging road despite his father's opposition.

He was very distressed by Xiao Han and wanted to make Xiao Han's road as smooth as possible. Now he had the ability to protect this teenager.

***

Xiao Han's father came back in the afternoon. He saw Li Cangyu and was obviously shocked, asking, "You are?"

Li Cangyu took the initiative to hold out a hand and introduce himself. "I am the captain of Xiao Han's team, Li Cangyu."

Xiao Zhenjun was surprised. He thought that his rebellious son mixed with several unemployed people while playing the game. He didn't expect the team captain to actually come here.

Li Cangyu looked handsome, had a humble att.i.tude and gave a very reliable first impression.

Xiao Zhenjun glanced at him and said, "h.e.l.lo. I thought Xiao Han was just looking for an excuse to go out and play when he said he wanted to play the game compet.i.tively. Is this really true?"

"Yes, I am a professional player from the Dragon Warriors E-Sports Club and the current captain of the Miracle division team. I am recruiting talents to prepare for next year's professional league." Li Cangyu patiently explained the situation of the Dragon Warriors club and also took out a contract template to show him.

Xiao Zhenjun was a lawyer. After reading the contract, half the doubts in his heart were dispelled.

Li Cangyu continued saying, "Mr. Xiao, we aren't just playing around. You can rest a.s.sured that if Xiao Han follows me, he won't fall behind. I started playing compet.i.tively at his age and there are many compet.i.tors his age in the professional league right now. If he joins the team, I am confident that I can train him to be a great G.o.d in the league."

Xiao Han was standing to the side and not talking. Once he heard this, his eyes flashed and he looked at Li Cangyu with a touched expression.

Li Cangyu smiled and stated, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Why don't you develop a better understanding of the Miracle Professional League first? I have a lot of data on the professional league on this USB drive. You should take a look and then make a decision."

He was very prepared as he took a USB flash drive out of his pocket and handed it to Xiao Han's father.

Xiao Zhenjun looked at the data very quickly. In less than five minutes, he looked away from the computer. This time, his eyes weren't filled with as many doubts.

"Can Xiao Han's level reach the point of playing compet.i.tively?" Xiao Zhenjun looked at his son and didn't feel very rea.s.sured. "I know he has been playing the game recently but I thought he was just blindly playing."

Xiao Han immediately looked up. "No! I made a lot of money selling equipment and gold coins in the game!"

He hurried to show his bankbook to his father. "See, this is the money I made myself. I will be 18 years old in January and I can support myself."

The teenager's eyes were stubborn and serious. Xiao Zhenjun looked at the number in the pa.s.sbook and felt mixed emotions.

He always felt that his son became stubborn and rebellious because of his mother's death. He thought his son was just casually playing the game and hadn't expected the child to actually make money from it. The money wasn't much but it was enough for daily expenses.

He had been busy working for the past few years and rarely stayed home with Xiao Han.

Xiao Han had the common 17-year-old youth's 'go against the adults' att.i.tude but he wasn't a bad person. He was actually very sensible. At a young age, he learned to cook and make money. His academic performance wasn't good but he had talent in other areas.

“Mr. Xiao, you can rest a.s.sured that we will take care of Xiao Han after he returns to China. The team has a well-equipped group dormitory and a canteen. The team also has a 17-year-old young man who is a similar age. The two of them can become excellent friends. Our team might've just been set up but there are a few excellent players. For example, Tree of the US ICE team. He is Chinese and has decided to join our team after his contract ends this year.” Li Cangyu paused before saying with firm eyes, “If you give me Xiao Han, I can guarantee that he will have a good future.”

Xiao Han looked at his father. "Dad, let me go back to China. I want to go and play the game."

"…" There was a long silence before Xiao Zhenjun spoke. "Let me think about it.

The other party was already shaken. If Li Cangyu spoke any further, it might be counterproductive.

Xiao Zhenjun politely left to let them eat. Li Cangyu tasted Xiao Han's cooking. It wasn't as delicious as Bai Xuan but it was very rare for such a young person to be able to cook.

Once dinner ended, Xiao Zhenjun called his son to the study to say a few words. Then Xiao Han ran out happily, crying out to Li Cangyu, "Master, my father agreed!"

Li Cangyu saw him excitedly jumping up and down and gently rubbed his head. "It is good that he agreed."

Xiao Han kept speaking. "My father isn't comfortable about me going back alone. He has recently wanted to open a law firm in China so he will go back with us! By the way, he also told me to go back to New York with you to make sure that I am suitable to play compet.i.tively."

Xiao Han's father was a professional lawyer and very calm. Li Cangyu looked up into the man's eyes and smiled. "Mr. Xiao, rest a.s.sured, I won't let you and Xiao Han feel disappointed."

Xiao Zhenjun nodded. "Then please look after Xiao Han."

***

Li Cangyu went to Boston alone but brought back a little blond-haired, black-eyes sidekick. Bai Xuan asked with a smile, "It seems the problem has been solved? Xiao Han will be living with us?"

Xiao Han nodded with delight. "Yes!"

It was great that he could eat the chicken wings cooked by Vice-Captain Bai!

After dinner, Li Cangyu went to the guild to explain the promotion for the arena challenge. The Food Squad members started to advertise in the Miracle forums, Baidu and other game sections.

The news that the Food Squad was going to open a cross-server arena challenge quickly spread throughout the country.

Ling Xuefeng returned to China and saw this advertis.e.m.e.nt, which had risen to the top of the forum's daily popular advertis.e.m.e.nts. It stated: first defeat Frost Descends and receive 50,000 gold. Second, defeat Love to Eat Braised Fish and win one million gold.

Li Cangyu was really witty. He was a master and used this high bonus to attract masters. Besides, Xiao Han could play against various masters and improve his PK level as quickly as possible…

Ling Xuefeng thought up to here and sent a message calling his apprentice over.

Qin Mo came to his master's room and bowed his head. "Master is looking for me?"

Did he make a big mistake recently? Was Master going to lecture him as soon as Master returned home?

The surprising thing was that Ling Xuefeng actually gave Qin Mo a set of bookmarks. "I bought this for you in New York."

Qin Mo immediately received them “Thank you, Master!”

Master might seem indifferent on the surface but he was a very attentive person!

The deeply moved Qin Mo listened to Ling Xuefeng's next words. "I will arrange a task for you. Starting from tomorrow night, the Food Squad will open a cross-server arena challenge. Find a side account to enter the arena."

"The Food Squad?" Qin Mo had long known about the challenge. Love to Eat Braised Fish was Cat G.o.d. Qin Mo thought about being abused by Cat G.o.d and couldn't help whispering, "I…I can't beat Cat G.o.d."

"Naturally." Ling Xuefeng agreed. "I'm not asking you to defeat Cat G.o.d. Just beat the first stage."

QIn Mo was puzzled. "The first stage? Are you talking about Frost Descends?"

Ling Xuefeng explained, "He is Cat G.o.d's new apprentice."

Qin Mo sighed with relief. "Master, you're telling me to open a side account against Cat G.o.d's apprentice?"

"Yes, have the president prepare at least 10 accounts with different cla.s.ses. If each one can win against Xiao Han, I will give you an opportunity to partic.i.p.ate in the playoffs."

Playoffs?

Qin Mo's eyes brightened and he immediately exclaimed, "I know! I will beat him!"

'The boy called Xiao Han, let's go.

My master and your master are the strongest opponents. It is time for us apprentices to face each other.'

Qin Mo vowed that since Cat G.o.d abused him, he must make Xiao Han cry and beg for mercy tomorrow.

Chapter 93 – Qin Mo VS Xiao Han

Qin Mo couldn't win against Cat G.o.d but he was full of confidence against Cat G.o.d's apprentice.

He left his master's room and immediately asked the president of the Wind Colour guild for 10 side accounts of different cla.s.ses. All account names and pa.s.swords were written down and he excitedly waited for the arena challenge to start the next night.

At 8 p.m. the next day, Li Cangyu really made a VIP room in the cross-server arena. The room was called 'Challenge Arena' while Small Elf directly advertised on the world channel: [The Food Squad has opened an arena challenge. The first stage gives 50,000 gold and the second boss stage will give one million gold!  Any masters are welcome to come and apply for the challenge!]

The advertis.e.m.e.nt was released and countless onlookers immediately poured into the arena.

Li Cangyu spoke on the room channel: [Is there any master willing to challenge it? The registration fee is 1,000 gold coins.]

Many onlookers questioned it: [You didn't previously say that there was a registration fee!]

[President, you are too much!]

Li Cangyu said: [The registration fee is 1,000 gold but you can get 50,000 if you win. This is very cost-effective! Come if you have confidence in yourself.]

The registration fee of 1,000 gold was to prevent people from running here to make trouble.

The condition for entering this arena was to pay the creator of the room 1,000 gold coins. No one wanted to waste money, so those willing to spend money would be masters confident in their own level.

Li Cangyu then advertised: [I welcome any masters to take the challenge! 50,000 gold is the reward if you win!]

Someone was probably attracted by the reward and typed: [If I win against this a.s.sa.s.sin, will I receive the money? Are you going to cheat us?]

Li Cangyu: [I am using the name Food Squad as a guarantee. I won't cheat anyone.]

This person should be from another server. He didn't know Love to Eat Braised Fish but since there was a guild as a guarantee, he let go of his worries and paid to the 1,000 gold registration fee.

Xiao Han stared seriously at the computer screen, and his palms were sweating.

Master put him in the arena and also bet 50,000 gold coins. His pressure was immense. If he lost, wouldn't he lose Master's money?

Li Cangyu saw the little boy's eyes flashing and patted his shoulder. "Xiao Han, remember, you are going to play in the professional league. You are used to playing an a.s.sa.s.sin in the game, always hiding behind a person to look for opportunities. In the future, you will have to stand on the field and take the initiative to create opportunities."

Xiao Han was stunned before soon reacting. His master was right. He was going to enter the professional league and his opponents would be great G.o.ds. If he couldn't even fight against ordinary players in the online game, what qualifications did he have to be a professional player?

Previously, he would secretly track the target and take advantage of when they had residual blood to a.s.sa.s.sinate them, making his success rate very high. But on the field, the opponent would definitely be prepared and wouldn't give Xiao Han their back. Thus, he had to take the initiative to create an opportunity!

The transition from an a.s.sa.s.sin who only knew how to sneak attack to a real killer who could actively create opportunities on the field, Li Cangyu found the most suitable method to do this.

Challenge the arena.

Openly do an arena challenge against different cla.s.ses and different races!

Xiao Han finally fully grasped his master's good intentions and looked seriously at Li Cangyu. "Master, I am ready."

Li Cangyu smiled. "Then open it."

The two men in the arena pressed the ready b.u.t.ton and a five-second countdown started on the screen.

Once the countdown was over, the white magician challenger immediately widened the distance and started to cast the white magician's control skill, G.o.d's Seal. He apparently wanted to control Xiao Han.

However, Xiao Han's reaction was faster and he disappeared the moment the spell casting was about to end.

He moved around to the rear and used Death Mark, Backstab, Fatal Blow!

The connection between skills was incredibly smooth and the a.s.sa.s.sin's critical hit when striking from behind made the white magician's blood drop instantly.

On the sidelines, Li Cangyu couldn't help smiling with relief.

The thing he liked most about Xiao Han was the boy's sharp and quick reactions. The teenager didn't have professional training but he had keen insight. In other words, this was talent.

He was confident that Xiao Han would surprise the Miracle League after a period of tempering.

Sure enough, in less than three minutes, Xiao Han took care of the white magician and won 1,000 gold coins.

This person had come to test the waters. After losing, he sent a thumbs up emoji and said: [To dare open a challenge arena, you are really great!]

Xiao Han sent back: [Thank you!]

The youth's face was pretending to be calm but there was obvious joy at being praised.

He had minimal experience with head-on PK. He thought he would lose and didn't expect to win.

Li Cangyu patted his head and encouraged him. "Your level is definitely one of the best in the online game. I estimate that 80% of challengers will be defeated by you. Then keep doing the arena challenges and win money for your master. I'm going to eat some fruit. If someone beats you then call for me."

Xiao Han was a bit nervous with Li Cangyu standing behind him, so Li Cangyu purposely walked away. This allowed Xiao Han to play to his actual standards.

***

The first white magician who tried to challenge the arena was defeated. Then some confident masters took the initiative to enter the arena challenge. Some were acquaintances from Moonlight Forest while some were from other servers. This was a cross-server arena, so there were naturally many masters.

Xiao Han solved one challenge after another using his extremely fast hand speed and excellent reaction speed. In less than 30 minutes, he hit the '10 wins streak' and earned 10,000 gold coins.

Xiao Han was feeling braver when a person entered the challenge room.

Strangely enough, this man was very decisive. He didn't say anything when he came in and directly hit the challenge b.u.t.ton. His ID was 'Yellow River's Waters Flowing Down From Heaven' and he was a blood kin summoner.

Xiao Han had no problem with this and also pressed the ready b.u.t.ton.

The five-second countdown ended and the other person immediately summoned a blood spider at Xiao Han's feet.

The position of this blood spider was extremely subtle and caused Xiao Han to be stuck in place.

His body was stuck and he couldn't move. The blood kin summoner quickly widened the distance and had his blood snake rush to bite Xiao Han. It directly dealt a five-layer blood loss effect on Xiao Han. Then he released the big move of the vampire bats, forcing Xiao Han's blood to 60%.

Xiao Han hadn't gone through formal training but he knew that he had met a master this time!

In the blink of an eye, the other person used excellent control to directly reduce his blood by 40%!

Xiao Han stared earnestly at the computer screen. Once the blood spider's body freezing effect was over, he immediately entered the stealth state and quickly circled around the other side. He wanted to use Backstab and Fatal Blow to even out the blood volume gap.

However, the other side was very clever. The moment that Xiao Han prepared to use Backstab, he suddenly summoned the death knight!

The blood kin's death knight was the strongest defensive pet. As long as it existed, all attacks on the owner would automatically weaken.

Xiao Han's consecutive moves were like hitting cotton and there wasn't the critical effect.

Xiao Han saw the snakes and spiders all over the ground and was a bit dazed. He rarely played against blood kin summoners and didn't have much experience dealing with their pets. This time, he was caught off guard and soon fell to the other side's three pets.

Xiao Han saw the word 'failure' pop up on the screen and was stunned for a long time. He won 10 games in a row and thought he was very good. As a result, he thoroughly lost.

He thought of Li Cangyu's words and shouted towards the living room, "Master, someone beat me!"

Li Cangyu held an apple and ate it while looking interested. "Show me the video."

"Yes." Xiao Han opened the video window and Li Cangyu couldn't help laughing when he took a closer look. "This blood kin summoner is a bit interesting."

Xiao Han asked, "Should I tell him that we are recruiting teammates? I think he is excellent. He should be a professional player right? Can he become our teammate?"

Li Cangyu meaningfully touched his chin. “This isn't necessarily the case. First, give him 50,000 gold and then we can take a look.”

Xiao Han traded the 50,000 gold to the other person and privately asked: [h.e.l.lo, can I add you as a friend?]

The blood kin summoner didn't talk and directly left the room.

Xiao Han scratched his head when he didn't receive a reply, his heart feeling very puzzled.

A moment later, a black magician entered the room. He didn't say a word and just pressed the ready b.u.t.ton. This person's ID was 'Great Hall's Bright Mirrors Sad White Hair'.

Li Cangyu's smile became deeper and he patted Xiao Han's shoulder. "Go and fight him."

"Oh." Xiao Han immediately pressed the ready b.u.t.ton.

To his surprise, the black magician's style of play was very violent. When it started, he took the first hand by controlling Xiao Han with fear magic. He used consecutive spells on Xiao Han and then took advantage of a remote cla.s.s's control of the field to decisively kill the residual blood a.s.sa.s.sin.

There was no doubt that Xiao Han once again lost.

He looked at his gold coins with distress and couldn't help saying, “Master, is someone displeased with us and organised a party to disturb the arena?”

Li Cangyu's reply was decisive. "No."

"Then why did I meet two masters in a row? They didn't say anything and just left with the money. Their IDs are also similar. Do they know each other?"

“Not them, it is a him." Li Cangyu smiled. "The blood kin summoner and black magician are the same people."

Xiao Han was shocked. "Eh?"

Li Cangyu sat in front of the computer and sent a message to the black magician: [Did Ling Xuefeng tell you to come?]

Qin Mo, "…"

Qin Mo was just about to change accounts when he saw the words in the private chat window. His fingers shook slightly and he entered the wrong pa.s.sword.

Li Cangyu continued: [Xiao Qin Mo, don't pretend.]

Qin Mo's face turned red. Cat G.o.d saw through him so quickly? He didn't even say anything!

Li Cangyu sent a smiling expression. [Go and call your master.]

QIn Mo originally wanted to pretend he didn't know anything. Then Li Cangyu sent a follow-up message: [Go and call him or I will call him. International long-distance calls are very expensive.]

The blushing Qin Mo replied: [Oh.]

He went to his master's room and knocked on the door. Ling Xuefeng quickly opened it and looked at him thoughtfully. “What's the matter?”

Qin Mo hung his head. “Master, I was recognised by Cat G.o.d. He is calling you.”

He sneaked a glance at his master, thinking his master would be angry. Unexpectedly, Ling Xuefeng's expression was very calm like he expected to be recognised by Cat G.o.d.

Ling Xuefeng asked, "How many rounds did you play?"

Qin Mo replied, "Two rounds."

"Did you win all of them?"

"Yes."

Ling Xuefeng walked quickly to the training room and sat on the computer next to Qin Mo. He logged into the Steamed Ba.s.s account and sent a message to Li Cangyu: [How did you recognise Qin Mo?]

Li Cangyu explained: [He never spoke a word. After the fight, he would change accounts and the account names are all poetry. He shouldn't be too obvious.]

Ling Xuefeng immediately glanced back at Qin Mo. His apprentice immediately bowed his head.

Li Cangyu then asked: [When did you return to Shanghai?]

Ling Xuefeng: [Yesterday afternoon.]

Li Cangyu: [What do you mean by having your apprentice bully my Xiao Han?]

Ling Xuefeng: [It isn't bullying. I am sending my apprentice free of charge to be a sparring partner for your Xiao Han.]

The free of charge Qin Mo was afraid to say a word.

Li Cangyu was very satisfied. [Okay, Qin Mo has recently grown. Have him log into a bard's account and come to teach Xiao Han.]

Ling Xuefeng spoke to QIn Mo, "Go open a bard's account and play Xiao Han."

Qin Mo said, "…Oh."

Li Cangyu: [Also, return the 100,000 coins that he won. It isn't kind to open a side account and take my money. It isn't easy for me to make money!]

Ling Xuefeng looked at Qin Mo. "Did you hear him? Return the money to Cat G.o.d."

Qin Mo said, "…Oh."

He listened to master and master listened to Cat G.o.d. The end result was—he had to listen to Cat G.o.d!

Chapter 94 – Qin.Bottom of the Food Chain.Mo

Popular Land Under Heaven was thrilled when he found out that Qin Mo was going to challenge the arena. He thought that it was an opportunity for the Wind Colour Guild to win a bit of money from Cat G.o.d. It really wasn't easy for Cat G.o.d!

He was glad to expand the guild's funds. Then he received a message from Qin Mo. [President, give me 8,000 gold coins. I still have eight accounts that need to challenge the arena and I don't have any money to pay the registration fee.]

Popular Land Under Heaven wondered: [Didn't you just win 100,000?]

Qin Mo replied in a depressed manner: [I had to give it back to Cat G.o.d.]

Popular Land Under Heaven: [You won so why do you have to pay it back?]

Qin Mo added: [It is Master's order.]

Popular Land Under Heaven, "…"

Qin Mo went to partic.i.p.ate in the arena challenge and still had to pay money despite winning? Was there such an arena challenge? Cat G.o.d was so good at business! Captain Ling didn't have enough principles…

Popular Land Under Heaven scolded his captain while helplessly trading 8,000 gold to Qin Mo.

***

A bard soon entered the arena room, the ID was 'Black Threads at Dawn Become Bright Snow at Evening.' Xiao Han's eyes brightened and he asked privately: [Yellow River Waters Flowing Down From Heaven and Great Hall's Bright Mirrors Sad White Hair, are these two you?]

Qin Mo: […Yes.]

He didn't want to admit that these IDs were him, they were named by Popular Land Under Heaven.

Xiao Han asked curiously: [Are the IDs from a poem?]

Qin Mo said: [Yes.]

Xiao Han asked: [What poem?]

Qin Mo replied: [Li Bai's Bring in the Wine.]

This poem was so well-known yet he didn't know it? Didn't he graduate from elementary school?

The confused Qin Mo asked: [Don't you know this poem?]

Xiao Han replied calmly: [No.]

Qin Mo: [You really have no culture!]

Xiao Han said: [I know a lot of Shakespeare.]

Qin Mo was shocked. [Ah?]

Xiao Han typed a string of English: [Do not for one repulse, give up the purpose that you resolved to effect.]

Qin Mo felt dizzy.

Xiao Han immediately returned fire: [You really have no culture.]

Qin Mo, "…"

Li Cangyu saw these two apprentices bickering over Chinese and foreign poetry and couldn't help laughing. "The two of you, don't get distracted from the point!"

Qin Mo felt wronged. "Master, how can he fight me with English. Isn't he Chinese?"

Ling Xuefeng explained succinctly. "A mixed-blood."

Qin Mo, "…"

Li Cangyu urged on the other side, "Xiao Han, make him give back the 100,000 coins to us."

Xiao Han immediately sent a trade request to Qin Mo. [The 100,000 gold, Master asked you to give it back.]

The depressed Qin Mo put in the money.

Xiao Han typed: [Thank you.]

Qin Mo: [You're welcome.]

Then he pressed the PK invitation and Xiao Han immediately accepted.

This time, Qin Mo's account was the elf bard, also known as the archer.

The most famous bard in the Chinese MIracle League was Tan s.h.i.tian. Qin Mo wasn't good at the bard's style of play but he received professional training from the Wind Colour team and had some knowledge of other output cla.s.ses.

Last time, he was beaten by Tan s.h.i.tian and received a psychological shadow. After that, he studied the bard's gameplay for a period of time, making the operation of this bard come naturally.

Xiao Han didn't have any experience playing against bards and lost to Qin Mo without any surprises.

However, Xiao Han wasn't discouraged after losing three games. He continued to press the ready b.u.t.ton. [Come again.]

Qin Mo looked back at his master. "He said to continue fighting."

Ling Xuefeng said, "Then continue."

Qin Mo, "…"

Qin Mo was treated as a sparring partner and had to prepare again.

On the other side of the computer, Li Cangyu patiently explained, "Xiao Han, there are some points to pay attention to when a killer is facing a remote cla.s.s. For example, the bard's Precise Aim skill has a release time of two seconds. This skill elongates the bow and arrow. When you see him use this skill, immediately enter stealth and this will interrupt his subsequent moves."

Xiao Han understood and nodded.

Sure enough, once Qin Mo used Precise Aim, Xiao Han immediately entered stealth and stopped the combo.

Li Cangyu continued explaining, "The special skills of many cla.s.ses have an iconic action when they are released. Carefully observe your opponent and make a reasonable prejudgment."

"Yes." Xiao Han listened carefully while his eyes stared at the screen.

"Take advantage of the stealth time to go around and kill him."

“Yes!” Xiao Han nodded and quickly circled behind Qin Mo, starting with the three most common moves of an a.s.sa.s.sin— Death Mark, Backstab, Fatal Blow!

Sure enough, there was a critical hit and Qin Mo's blood decreased by 30%.

Qin Mo found that the a.s.sa.s.sin was close and his reaction speed was extremely fast. He immediately used Flying Feather Steps to open the distance and then the ranged skill Death Arrow Rain. Xiao Han was successfully hit and his blood volume fell to match Qin Mo's.

Li Cangyu said, “An a.s.sa.s.sin must have flexible movements. For example, if you can't hide when he used that big move, then you can jump in front of him so that the damage caused to you will automatically weaken.”

“Yes!” Xiao Han was becoming more excited. Master was personally guiding him; this was a very rare opportunity!

On the other side, Qin Mo thought it was strange.

Was this Xiao Han stuck? Was it a network failure?

Qin Mo worried for a moment before typing out: [Is there a problem with your Internet?]

Xiao Han replied: [No, my master is teaching me how to deal with you.]

Qin Mo, "…"

He looked at this person's master and then his own master and Qin Mo suddenly felt pained.

Ling Xuefeng seemed to sense that his apprentice was cursing him and suddenly opened his mouth. "Are you wondering why I sent you to be a sparring partner?"

Qin Mo quickly shook his head. "No, no."

Ling Xuefeng explained, "When I PKed with Cat G.o.d in the game, he also lost to me at first. Then time pa.s.sed and my winning percentage against him fell to 50%. He progressed very quickly. Xiao Han is his apprentice and a rare genius. It is good for you to fight against Xiao Han."

Qin Mo nodded seriously. "Yes."

Ling Xuefeng continued. “Besides, Cat G.o.d is guiding Xiao Han to beat you. He is indirectly instructing you. You should be thankful.”

Qin Mo, "…Yes."

In his master's eyes, everything Cat G.o.d did was right.

Qin Mo should be thankful to be abused by Cat G.o.d!

***

Xiao Han played 10 rounds with the bard before Li Cangyu sent a private message to Ling Xuefeng. [Is there a white magician account?]

Ling Xuefeng looked at Qin Mo. "Change to a white magician account."

Qin Mo said, "…Oh."

He opened the white magician account and played 10 rounds with Xiao Han. Then Xiao Han sent him a message: [Do you have a swordsman?]

Li Cangyu sent a message to Ling Xuefeng. [Send a swordsman.]

Ling Xuefeng turned back. "Change to a swordsman."

“…" Qin Mo opened a swordsman account.

The words of all three people were a decree!

He was at the bottom of the food chain. If Cat G.o.d spoke, he had to listen. He had to listen if Master spoke and he even had to listen if Xiao Han spoke!

As he worked as a hired labourer for Xiao Han, he also had to pay the 1000 gold registration fee. What little prince was worse than him?

This night, Qin Mo accompanied Xiao Han and played 50 matches in a row, changing to the side accounts of five cla.s.ses. He won all 50 matches but Qin Mo didn't feel happy at all. He was still at the bottom of the food chain and had to listen to everyone.

Li Cangyu saw that it was almost 12 o'clock and sent a message to Ling Xuefeng. [It is very late domestically. Let the little one sleep first and come back tomorrow.]

Ling Xuefeng turned back and said, "Go to sleep. We will continue tomorrow."

Qin Mo muttered, "…I have to continue tomorrow?"

“There are five accounts left. If you win then you can play in the playoffs." Ling Xuefeng promised with a serious expression.

Master used the playoffs as the reward, making Qin Mo accept his fate. "Okay!"

The apprentice ran to sleep. Ling Xuefeng was reluctant to sleep and continued to send a message to Li Cangyu: [Do you plan to use the arena challenge to attract masters and discover teammates?]

[There is no other way. I have to set up the team before the end of the year and don't have much time left. This is the quickest way.]

[You might as well announce your ident.i.ty directly and say that you are Cat G.o.d.]

Li Cangyu's eyes brightened. [This makes sense!]

Ling Xuefeng smiled. [Tell me if you make any progress.]

[Yes.] Li Cangyu typed out before pausing. He said: [You should also go to bed early. The playoffs will start soon. Pay attention to your rest and don't be too tired.]

Ling Xuefeng was stunned. Was Cat G.o.d this concerned about him?

Li Cangyu continued: [Go to sleep and have a good dream.]

It was followed by a kissing emoji.

Ling Xuefeng, "…"

It was really bad. Li Cangyu suddenly wanted to kiss Ling Xuefeng who sent his apprentice as a sandbag. He thought this and his hand accidentally sent the kissing emoji. Would Ling Xuefeng notice?

Li Cangyu quickly changed it. [I made a mistake. It should be goodbye [Wave][Wave].]

Ling Xuefeng, "…"

Ling Xuefeng thought of how he did the same thing not long ago and smiled.

Did Cat really make a mistake?

Or was this big cat finally opening up?

In order to confirm it, Ling Xuefeng sent a hugging emoji. [Good night.]

Li Cangyu asked: [Did you make a mistake?]

However, Ling Xuefeng quickly logged off.

Li Cangyu touched his chin. Was Ling Xuefeng's hug a friendly hug? Did it have another meaning? He thought for a long time and couldn't be sure. Thus, Li Cangyu had to think of a different method.

He opened the Q group, found 'Shepherd' which was Qin Mo's Q and added him as a friend.

[I am Old Cat.]

Qin Mo was habitually using his phone while lying in bed. Once he saw this, his hand shook and he almost threw his phone away.

Qin Mo accepted the friend request and respectfully sent a message. [Cat G.o.d is well.]

Li Cangyu asked directly: [Does your master have a girlfriend?]

Qin Mo: […No?]

Li Cangyu: [Does he have anyone he likes?]

Qin Mo: [I don't think so?]

Li Cangyu said: [I'm giving you a mission to clearly investigate this matter. I will send you a limited edition global sixth season merchandise as a reward.  By the way, don't tell your master about this secret investigation. Do you understand?]

Qin Mo, "…"

Cat G.o.d wanted him to be an undercover by his master's side? Should he listen to his master or Cat G.o.d?

Qin Mo thought for a moment before making a smart decision. He would listen to Cat G.o.d!

It was because… Xiao Han listened to Cat G.o.d, Master listened to Cat G.o.d and even Cheng Wei listened to Cat G.o.d.

Cat G.o.d was the man standing at the top of the food chain!
