Chapter 57: The Summoning Skill
If there was someone who could unveil the mystery of time to him, it would be Venomous. It also meant that KongFu's pride didn't allow him to speak about it with Michu, so all monkeys spent time in recuperation.
Their health points and mana along with stamina regenerated at their respective pace. They sat with closed eyes and each dreamed of different things.
However, in this silent tent, KongFu's eyes remained locked on Michu. He felt some reaction that only his keen eye could notice. It was suspicious as The Monkey God's lineage didn't have such fluctuations.
In other words, it wasn't a skill that Michu had received from the monkey god's will!
What was happening was related to Azure Lake's event. Michu's Azure Liquid Control skill activated itself as he had entered the meditation-like state. Before that, Michu shared sausages with others and stuffed his belly with various nutrients.
Food.
The player had to be wary of their hunger. Even if their bellies didn't ask for any food, their game systems would alert them about their hunger level and reduce their abilities and stats at worst.
Each food, even Michu's cheap sausages, had a determined percentage that would help with stamina regeneration. At this level, no player had exquisite dishes that could do wonders and miracles upon biting.
But humans could lose a few percent of this process by eating thoughtlessly or by not finishing the food. Even if one ate everything, some nutrients would be lost.
But this Azure Liquid Control gathered all nutrients and distributed these across Michu's body according to his needs.
KongFu commented, "It increases his raw speed, but it is just the tip of the iceberg. This Liquid Control, once mastered, could bring out the tough muscles effect like Yakuzan can and possibly much more wonders that would supersede the experience Michu lacked so far." The first assessment was that this technique could accompany Michu up to sixty levels or a little more, but KongFu had to change his opinion.
He wasn't entirely sure, but it had to be that Azure Liquid Control.
He was on the spot, though.
[Azure Liquid Control has washed over your body.]
[Your body has been completely regenerated.]
These two messages flashed before Michu's eyes but instantly dispersed when his eyes opened. Was it because they'd hovered for too long already or exactly because of this careless motion?
Though it would be a pity for Michu to miss it, KongFu was here to share what he had seen so far, "You should get acquainted with the player with cooking class. I am confident that your farmer class will evolve to the point where normal bananas will give everyone some kind of passive effect, not just nutrients. But the raw banana is the raw banana at last. You should get the cooking class player."
"I will try! I think that bananas have unlimited potential for dishes and it would be nice to see my bananas top over every other fruit and vegetable!" Even if the cook would prepare something with bananas as one of many ingredients, Michu wanted to feel his bananas' taste dominant.
It sounded fun and challenging, for both him and such players.
However, Michu wasn't that optimistic anymore. His friend, Feng, had been with a woman whose eyes weren't mostly looking at him and their joint future. He lacked a proper term to call her personality, but she was a really egoistic woman.
Michu could see through her and he was worried that finding such nice players as Venomous and Sandra would be harder. At the very least, Michu didn't think that things would be that easy.
This was where KongFu stepped in with a sneer. Rather than stepping, he made one big jump with his baby monkey soul and latched himself to Michu's arm, "We always can try to summon someone... from another leaf."
"Summon someone?" Michu's ears trembled to this fantasy and epic-sounding skill! He ignored the last words, but more astute people would focus on it instead. Fortunately, KongFu knew what he had to do, so he ignored the more serious matter and spoke about the summoning skill.
"There are two kinds of summoning skills. The first one is when the summoned person wants to be called by the summoner. We call it - The Contractor Summon." KongFu raised his head jovially then, "The second one is the forced call! The majority calls it - The Spiteful Summon."
"Why are you laughing?"
"Heh."
[Tidbit: KongFu used The Spiteful Summon and aimed for the phoenix woman. Because of his status, The Phoenix Empress had been called. Her sheer power and hubris heart shattered the call, then the phoenix feathers rained over the monkey god's jungle.]
"I remembered something... romantic.... and beautiful..." KongFu caressed his chin as he closed his eyes. A few humming sounds escaped him and one could wonder what romantic event he had gone through!
The summoned races were mostly those who didn't have a god to rely on. Even humans from the second leaf gladly followed the beasts if their god abandoned or ignored them. Similarly to them, the races would never mind honest refugees.
"Wow! That sounds awesome! However, if the second leaf has gods already, then what about the third and fourth?" Michu asked curiously.
KongFu just scoffed, "The world is so big and power ranking often shifts. The second can be the strongest, then it suddenly falls in ranking because other idiots achieved enlightenment or other crap."
"Oh."
"Anyway! To make things funnier... and more complicated for the snake, we have to summon a woman! Hmm, if my memory serves... We should try to summon a sheep race woman... or maybe cow one. Hehe!" KongFu laid out a plan, but it would take some time for Michu to summon someone to help him.
Fortunately, KongFu had a fair share of experience with summoning skills, not only because he wanted a phoenix woman in his embrace, but also because of his mischievous monkey nature.
Thus, the whole process was limited to just a few items that Michu had to gather.
"You have time to choose. Sheep women are often shy and quiet, but they are diligent in their work. As for cow women, they are loud and stubborn, but once they set their mind on something, they will go for it until they achieve their goal. Both have their pros and cons."
"Hmm!"
