Xia Nuo subconsciously obeyed her words, holding it in his hand all the time, the spar contaminated with his breath slid out of a beautiful parabola in the air and fell into the holy spring hanging in mid-air, which was gushing spring water.
For a moment, the white light was shining brightly, and Xia Nuo involuntarily closed his eyes to avoid the too-dazzling light. Although the little girl felt the light was dazzling, she still gritted her teeth and opened her eyes wide, looking at the blue spring water in front of her without blinking.
——Whether they can run away unscathed today depends on the result of this card draw!
Yes, a card draw.
There are many monsters living in the labyrinth. Most of them form a group from low to high levels.
Most of the high-level monsters have the form of humans, and their attitude towards these players is more of indifference. On the contrary, the low-level monsters eat flesh and blood, and ‘delicate and weak’ players are of course easier to capture.
But compared to this, there are also countless holy springs in the maze, which are the so-called card drawing locations. Players can obtain food, weapons and other necessities through the holy springs. There are even summons ― the latter is the existence that all players who enter the maze dream of.
Because summoned objects are generally intermediate or even high-level monsters, they are born with very strong force values, and after acquiring training, they should not be underestimated and can become the most powerful helpers for players.
Players with a summoned creature even have the confidence to fight high-level monsters.
Although the benefits of obtaining summoned items are so great, so far, there are not many players who have summoned items in the maze.
There is only one reason for this situation – the difficulty of obtaining summoned objects is too great.
The food, clothing, housing and transportation of players in the maze cannot be separated from one thing, and that is the magic crystal.
Magic crystals are divided into low-level magic crystals, intermediate magic crystals and high-level magic crystals, and the difficulty and rarity of obtaining them increase sequentially.
Low-level magic crystals can be obtained by killing low-level monsters and can be used to extract necessities such as food and weapons.
Intermediate magic crystals can temporarily summon monsters that match the player’s attributes for the player to use, but this also depends on luck, and it is common for monsters not to be summoned.
But to really obtain summoned objects, high-level magic crystals must be used as a medium, ten of which are needed at a time.
However, high-level magic crystals are only in the hands of high-level monsters, and it is extremely difficult to obtain them. Usually, they can only be obtained by completing extremely difficult tasks issued by them.
Even if you get a high-level magic crystal, the chance of drawing a summoned object is very low. Some players have calculated that the chance is only about one in a thousand.
Not to mention that if the player doesn’t fit the summoned object, they can even turn their head and go back to the spring water-the chance of getting the summoned object is further reduced.
The monsters that are finally summoned turn away because they look down on you, which will not only severely damage the player’s self-esteem, but also cause the player’s initial investment to be in vain.
However, the player also came up with a countermeasure, that is, to use the intermediate magic crystal to summon monsters in advance and ask them if they have the intention to conclude a contract with them.
Generally speaking, if the player reaches an agreement with the monster in advance, the chances of summoning the specified monster will be significantly increased, and the success rate of making a contract will also be greatly increased. Even if it fails, the loss caused is much smaller than the previous method.
However, the summoning probability of intermediate magic crystals is also quite low, and most monsters just like to join in the fun, and those who really want to find their masters are rare.
Xi Xi didn’t expect that there would be an intermediate magic crystal in the hands of the young man who had just arrived, and she didn’t have time to find out how the young man could obtain it, so she just quietly waited for the monster to appear.
As for the failure of the summoning, the possibility was eliminated the moment the light came on.
Everything happens in an instant.
A pitch-black figure stepped out from the dazzling white light. It hadn’t yet shown its full shape, and Xi Xi could only see a pair of wide wings growing on its back, and feathers were fluttering down from above.
Fallen angel?
The next moment, the curved horns on the monster’s head made her deny this guess.
It should be a high-level demon, right? she thought uncertainly.
Regardless of whether the comer is a high-level demon or not, there is no doubt that it is very powerful.
It was just a glance, and the low-level monster that was about to pounce on it fell from mid-air, lying on the ground without lifting its head, and begging for mercy.
But at the next moment, the monster did something completely unexpected—it flapped its wings, bent down in mid-air, they approached the boy’s cheek at a very ambiguous angle, and in the eyes of the little girl beside Xia Nuo, the posture of the two seemed to be kissing.
Xia Nuo felt a burst of icy breath brushing against his cheeks, opened his eyes involuntarily, and then looked into a pair of blue eyes.
“Are you my summoner?” the owner of the eyes asked.
Summoner?
Xia Nuo was still confused about all this, but the little girl reacted ahead of time and replied loudly: “Yes! He is your summoner!”
The monster’s attitude made her make a bold guess—it must have taken a fancy to Chang An, right?
“Your name?” the man continued to ask.
Xia Nuo faced the little girl’s earnest gaze, and for some reason, his voice was a little difficult: “My name is Chang An.”
This distance made him feel a subtle uneasiness, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but was gently embraced by a pair of wide wings.
The monster wrapped the boy with its wings in a possessive gesture. The little girl couldn’t see the expressions on their faces, and could only guess the progress between the two through their voices.
“My name is Krowrick (T/N: 柯罗里克, T/N at end), so Chang An, are you willing to be my master?”
The monster’s laughing voice reached the little girl’s ears, and Xi Xi couldn’t help but widen her eyes in excitement—she guessed it right!
The monster summoned by the intermediate magic crystal actively expressed the intention to conclude a contract-the probability is so low that the boy will meet him, he is simply the European emperor among the European emperors! (T/N: as stated in a previous chapter, a European emperor is someone who is extremely lucky.)
You know, how many players pay countless prices and meet the countless demands of monsters in exchange for their undistinguishable promises, but the monsters that the boy encountered offered to sign a contract with him
This means that as long as the teenager uses the high-level magic crystal to draw cards, this monster will definitely come to the appointment!
Once this kind of thing is said, countless players are afraid that their eyes will be red with jealousy, right?
Thinking of this, the little girl couldn’t help casting admiring glances at Xia Nuo——sometimes, luck is also a kind of strength!
But at this time, Xia Nuo was not as happy as the little girl thought. On the one hand, he didn’t know what the appearance of the man meant. On the other hand, being surrounded by men’s wings, for no reason, he had the illusion that he was imprisoned in a cage.
“Your master?” Xia Nuo recalled what the man said just now, a little puzzled.
At the same time, the excited shout of the little girl came from his ears: “Promise it! Promise it!”
Xia Nuo: “…”
Although Xi Xi tried hard to urge him to agree, Xia Nuo still kept due caution: “I still need to think about it.”
He clearly saw his figure from the blue eyes of the man who was close at hand, and when he heard the boy’s answer, the man just smiled slightly, and there was no look of disappointment on his face.
“If you think about it, you can call me at any time.” The man said.
Only then did he slowly spread his wings, and glanced at a group of monsters lying on the ground. With a wave of his hand, the monsters disappeared in place, leaving only a large piece of low-level magic crystals shining with crystal light.
“I came in a hurry, take this as my gift to you.”
Xia Nuo felt the cold breath of the monster brushing against his side face, and the deep voice made his ears go numb.
The time has come, and the figure of the monster gradually disappeared into the air, leaving only one sentence: “Looking forward to meeting you again, my future master.”
Until the man left, Xia Nuo hadn’t figured out what happened, but the little girl was extremely excited, she jumped up and down and ran to his side, saying: “Why didn’t you just agree with him directly? What a great opportunity this is!”
“What chance? I don’t know anything yet?” The blankness on Xia Nuo’s face perfectly explained his current state.
In his opinion, after being chased by monsters, he just followed the little girl’s instructions and threw a spar into the spring water.
Whether it was the man with black wings who emerged from the spring, or his remarks asking if he could become his master, these developments made Xia Nuo very puzzled.
Only then did the little girl realise that she hadn’t told Xia Nuo the information about drawing cards and summoning objects, so she quickly explained it to him carefully, and persuaded him very emotionally: “Think about it, as long as you agree to it, you can have a powerful support, which is very worthwhile.”
“And judging by its attitude, it also respects you very much. It is much better than other monsters who feel that they are superior to players!”
Speaking of this, the little girl couldn’t help being a little angry.
As I said before, the number of players with summoned items is very small, and because of the difficulty of obtaining them, each of them wishes to hold their summoned items to the sky, almost responding to their needs.
In this way, the summons will naturally feel that they are superior to the player. Although they still call the player the master, it is easy to imagine who is dominant in this relationship.
It’s rare to meet a high-level monster with such a gentle and polite attitude and good looks – this is especially important for a little girl who is face obsessed – of course, she has to persuade this little brother not to miss it!
‘Respect.’
Xia Nuo didn’t think so, on the contrary, he felt that the man’s every move exuded an inexplicable sense of aggression, this kind of aggression was not strong, on the contrary, it was like air, easily permeating the space surrounding him.
That’s what makes it all the more disturbing.
But what the little girl said was right. To clear this very difficult maze, he really needed a strong helper.
And looking at the performance of the man who just eliminated a group of monsters with ease – in Xia Nuo’s view, this is the man deliberately showing his strength – he obviously meets this standard very well.
Without hesitating for long, Xia Nuo nodded under the earnest eyes of the little girl and heard her cheers as expected.
Let’s hope it’s the right decision.
Xia Nuo thought like this exhaled slowly, and then he heard the little girl calling him: “Little brother, let’s put away these magic crystals first. With so many magic crystals, we should be able to draw a lot of things, right?”
She firmly believed in Emperor Xia Nuo’s attributes, but soon, she would no longer think so.
She handed Xia Nuo a small bag that she carried with her, and the two of them picked up the magic crystal together. The two small bags were bulging, and it is estimated that basically, all the monsters of this group were in it.
If they are still alive, they will definitely regret chasing Xia Nuo, right?
How could they have thought that such two seemingly weak and deceitful human beings would have such a strong backer behind them? As a result, not only did the intruders in the territory not be caught, but they themselves were exterminated—it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a tragedy.
“What do I need to do next?” Xia NUo asked.
Since he is determined to summon that monster, he should prepare high-level magic crystals now, right? But he didn’t know exactly how much he needed to prepare.
Based on the little girl’s description, he also knew that drawing cards were not that easy.
“Let’s go to the player’s gathering place now. There will be many missions released regularly. Find the missions issued by high-level monsters. After completing the missions, you can get high-level magic crystals!”
“As for the quantity, let’s start with a hundred.” The little girl smiled slightly, and Xia Nuo actually saw a trace of imperceptible affection in that smile: “How can you become stronger without recharging?” (T/N: recharging in games such as using money. Xia Nuo is a true pay-to-win player)
Xia Nuo subconsciously obeyed her words, holding it in his hand all the time, the spar contaminated with his breath slid out of a beautiful parabola in the air and fell into the holy spring hanging in mid-air, which was gushing spring water.
For a moment, the white light was shining brightly, and Xia Nuo involuntarily closed his eyes to avoid the too-dazzling light.
