In the Dragon Song Club, the newcomers who saw this piece of news all wore a complicated expression.
Unexpectedly, the captain tasked them to continue upgrading, only to team up with Ink Mark to kill the wild BOSS.
Despite everyone’s surprise, no one dared to ask aloud.
Xiao Han had a good temper, never getting angry and never cursing anyone, but he did have a little case of facial paralysis and didn’t like to speak much. Apart from the few players on his original team who started together with him, few people dared to chat with him freely, least of all the newcomers. Thus, even if everyone was extremely curious, they could only pretend not to know anything, and continue with their task.
Mirage didn’t have such scruples. Upon seeing the news, he immediately sent a message in excitement. “Ink Mark, you actually killed the BOSS?! So awesome!”
Hide a Dagger Behind a Smile hurriedly asked: “Did you get the secret book? Open it for us to see!”
Qin Mo replied: “The secret book belongs to him, I took the materials.”
Elegant Leaves said: “The materials dropped by a wild BOSS are also very valuable! You’ve really struck it rich this time!”
Although these people were not of a high enough level to fight the BOSS, they could see that Ink Mark had managed it, and everyone was happy for him.
Because of the news, many people were spamming the world chat to ask about their origins, but Qin Mo and Xiao Han were hiding in the woods—— they were busy sharing the spoils.
According to the previous agreement, the secret book ‘North Goose Flying South’ would belong to Xiao Han, while all the materials would go to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo had checked guides on strategies to kill Gu Shuhang before this. The guides said that Gu Shuhang would definitely drop the secret book ‘North Goose Flying South’, as well as five high-level material treasure chests. Unexpectedly, Gu Shuhang dropped 10 treasure chests of materials in addition to its secret book today. Obviously, because they are the first players to kill Gu Shuhang in the server, the BOSS had kindly doubled the material awards. The number of treasure chests had changed from five to ten, and the other party would surely suffer if he took it all by himself.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo sent a short message: “10 treasure chests of material, do you want me to give you half?”
Thousands Miles Ice: “Ok.”
Qin Mo: “……You’re welcome.”
Thousand Miles Ice: “En, it would be a waste if I didn’t accept.”

Seeing how this person was very straightforward, Qin Mo had no choice but to give him five treasure chests.

Qin Mo didn’t know much about the material system. Since Mirage played the beta test, Qin Mo sent him the question directly: “What are the Millennium Lingzhi and the Black Pearl for?”
Mirage was immediately excited: “These are valuable golden materials! In the game, from level 35, you can create your own equipment. Golden material is necessary for making the best equipment!”
“Do you need to learn life skills to create equipment?”
“No, this game is different from other games. The equipment system is completely open. If you get the blueprints in-game, you can use the corresponding materials to create the equipment. Blueprints are dropped in raid dungeons for ten or more players, and are also sold by the various sects. There are many to choose from.”
It seems that golden materials are not any less precious than secret books in Peerless Jianghu. Thinking about it for a few moments, Qin Mo asked: “Where can the lowest level equipment blueprints be found?”
Without a blueprint, he didn’t know how to create equipment. Thus, if he wanted to study it in detail, he would have to do it himself.
Mirage replied promptly: “A ten-players dungeon for level 35 will drop the blueprint. Treasure map series tasks after level 35 also have a probability of getting blueprints.”
Hiding a Dagger Behind a Smile interrupted. “The ten-players team dungeon was not available during the beta test. There is no strategy at the moment. How can we fight it?”
“We have an expert,” Elegant Leaves replied calmly. “It’s worth a shot.” The so-called exploration was when players entered a new secret realm to explore. Without any previous experience, it was easy to die over and over again. Of course, it was more interesting to complete a new dungeon than an old dungeon.
Hiding a Dagger Behind a Smile immediately realised that this was true. “Yes, yes,” he shouted happily, “Ink Mark, take us to open the new dungeon!”
“No problem,” Qin Mo replied.
Everybody immediately sent out hugs, kisses and flowers on the team channel.
Mirage was basically an encyclopedia about Peerless Jianghu, and Qin Mo could ask him questions directly. Forming a fixed team with them was a wise decision.
***
After getting the materials, Xiao Han minimized the game interface and searched for the usage of these materials on the internet. He found that the golden material ‘dragon bone’ obtained this time was a super rare material with low drop rate. Not only was it unable to be synthesized from low-grade animal bones, it could also be used to build a weapon—— the bone fan.
The bone fan was a weapon used by players of the Zhuge Family sect. Despite seeming harmless while closed, once activated, all the bones in the fan would become sharp tusks, enabling them to slice open the enemy’s throat in an instant.
As one of the eight main sects in the game, the Zhuge Family also has two kinds of cultivation routes. The first is the ‘Bone Fan flow’, a violent close-combat profession, attacking enemies at close range with sharp fan bones. The other was the ‘Mechanism Flow’, with a weapon named Mechanical Box.
The mechanism flow play was actually the summoner play. The Zhuge Family had developed these mechanical instruments for generations, and now, their skills had reached the point of perfection. From mechanical rats and snakes to mechanical hawks and chariots, the various mechanical summons contained a terrible power, causing other sects in the Jianghu to take a step back—— This was from an introduction to the Zhuge Family on the Internet.
Xiao Han looked at these descriptions, and couldn’t help but remember the BOSS Gu Shuhang from just now.
Gu Shuhang happened to be from the Zhuge Family. In the process of fighting the boss, he constantly summoned mechanical rats, mechanical hawks, and mechanical chariots……
This kind of summoner boss is actually very difficult to fight.
However, Ink Mark took advantage of Boss’s summoning of mechanical pets to kill all 15 melee players of the Sword Song Guild.
At that time, Xiao Han was in the back row to kill the healers, and was able to observe Ink Mark’s operations. Ink Mark first used a combo skill to control the melee, allowing all 15 melee players to be bitten by the mechanical rats and enter a weakened state. Next, he opened a group attack to beat them until they were near death, before using a targeted skill to hit the thick-skinned main T. After that, his next action was one that surprised Xiao Han very much—— Bringing the BOSS out of position and using the boss’ hand to kill the melee players.
Gu Shuhang was led around by him, stabbing a large number of people with his bone fan.
Peerless Jianghu is a brand new game. Everyone’s understanding of this game is still very shallow, yet Ink Mark could actually use the BOSS’ skills to kill 15 melee players at one go?
Unless he has a very deep understanding of a summoner boss, it is very difficult for even professional players to do this!
Later, Gu Shuhang summoned the mechanical chariot.
The position of the four chariots was from the most typical summoning flow operation of ‘cross encirclement’. That was to say, the summoned chariots would quickly encircle the target from the front, back, left, and right, blocking each others’ movements and leaving the target with nowhere to run.
Cross encirclement is difficult to avoid, but Ink Mark immediately dodged. Obviously, his understanding of the summoner flow has reached the professional level. Even if he has never seen this boss before, he could still respond to the ‘cross encirclement’ the moment it emerged.
In the current esports professional circle, the originator of summoner play is Liu Chuan, the founder of the Dragon Song Club. At that time, he used seven puppets to play the ‘Seven Kills Array’, which was popular and emulated by countless people once. Li Cangyu’s ‘Cataclysm’ and Ling Xuefeng’s ‘Demon Fury’ cooperated with each other to defeat countless foreign players in the World Competition, leaving behind a legend of the double summoners.
However, those great gods have already retired and disappeared from the professional arena.
In recent years, the most gifted player in the summoning flow is Qin Mo of the Wind Colour team.
Qin Mo, a disciple of Ling Xuefeng who was also guided by Li Cangyu. He combined the skills of two world-class summoners and could manipulate all kinds of pets freely. Xiao Han still remembered that Qin Mo once played the gorgeous operation of summoning pets, exploding pets and intercepting enemies from many directions on the field, which directly dazzled his opponents, just as if they were in a maze of pets. Therefore, when the news of Qin Mo’s retirement came, Xiao Han couldn’t believe it. He booked a high-priced ticket to rush back for the conference of the Wind Colour team, only to see the teenager bow and apologize to the reporters.
Such a talented player left the esports circle at only 18 years old. Xiao Han had never been able to accept this fact.
Since Qin Mo left, the summoner flow style had also declined. In the past few years, there had never been a successful summoner player.
For Qin Mo, the cross encirclement was so simple that it could be categorized as a basic operation.
Ink Mark had just flexibly avoided the BOSS’ cross encirclement. Obviously, he had a lot of experience with the summoner flow… So, does this person have anything to do with Qin Mo?
Xiao Han clenched the mouse tightly in his right hand, the sudden thought causing his fingers to tremble uncontrollably.
Qin Mo’s departure was his biggest regret. He had been looking forward to that person’s return, but in the end, he could never be sure whether Qin Mo would return or not. In his memory was clearly engraved the scene of a person walking away—— When the young Qin Mo had left alone, showing him his thin but proud silhouette.
In the past few years, Xiao Han had matured a lot after becoming captain. He had experienced many competitions, large and small, and has cooperated well with his teammates. Today was his first time working with Ink Mark in the online game. Although the both of them had only chatted briefly, Xiao Han felt that the tacit understanding between himself and Ink Mark was no less than that of first-class partners in the professional league.
He wanted to cut into the back row to kill the healers, and Ink Mark cleverly restrained the front row.
If he wanted to suppress the team’s blood volume, Ink Mark would release a small group attack skill.
When he wanted to leave people alive, Ink Mark’s control skills were perfectly on time…
Being able to do what the other party had thought of without exchanging words—— this was the best partner that Xiao Han dreamt of.
Could it be that person?
That strange sense of familiarity when they met for the first time in the game, the speculations when they chatted, the tacit understanding shared in today’s cooperation, and his professional understanding of the summoner BOSS…
If the other party really was Qin Mo, then all this could be reasonably explained.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han immediately turned off the webpage and switched back to the game interface, quickling sending a message to Ink Mark. “Qin Mo, is that you?”
Oh no Qin Mo, you is busted boi 😆
Thank you for the chapter!
Finallyyyy ヾ ( ≧ ▽ ≦ *)o ヾ ( ≧ ▽ ≦ *)o
YES!!! COME GET YOUR MAN!!!
I think he will deny!
I love his straightforwardness.
qin mo: changed profession from summoner to swordsman so no one recognize him
also qin mo: fight against a summoner boss flawlessly in front of someone who knew him best
BUSTED!!
but seriously, i’m really curious of why qin mo chose to retire. it’s also sad to see that the summoner profession had declined when it used to be played by god level players such as liu chuan (in wulin side), li cangyu and ling xuefeng
