Chapter 704 – Lane Swap

“I thought you were the strongest among war droids.”

Miaomiao was astonished that Devil seemed panicked. Devil sounded like she was afraid of Eve.

“That woman is a crazy bitch! Don’t believe in her act. She might look weak, but her foundation is stronger than the protagonists or maybe even better than you! Miaomiao, swap lanes with Clem and Meng Xin! As for you two, go mid instead.”

Miaomiao agreed. Since Clem and Meng Xin were forced into the 3v2 fight, Heavenly Dao Universe might have discovered their weaknesses.

“Why not let Clem go with Xie Tian and have Moxi nanny Meng Xin?”

Ma Moxi shook his head, “That will hinder my farming speed. I need gold to carry the team until the late-mid game. Just do what Devil said. We’re wasting time chatting here!”

Not bothering with the teammates, Ma Moxi rushed back to the jungle.

Miaomiao sighed and patted Clem and Meng Xin. He whispered.

“If you two die and one of my wives is killed, I’ll delete you after this event.”

Meng Xin, Clem, and Levy suddenly had goosebumps. Miaomiao’s killing intent just now suffocated them.

“I won’t die again!” Meng Xin grumbled as he rushed to the shop. He purchased an item and rushed out.

But Miaomiao grabbed Meng Xin. He warned the ex-beggar.

“Be careful of the horseman and the scythe guy. They will team up against you often since you will be constantly fighting in the middle of the map. Keep farming until level 8 or 9 to reach the pinnacle of the mortal realm. Then, everything will be a lot easier for you.”

“I’ll try.”

Miaomiao turned to Clem next, “Don’t overly rely on your breathing skills. Instead of trying to kill your enemies, concentrate on suppressing your enemy’s momentum with your ranged attacks. When your opponents suspiciously come after you for no reason, retreat to the turret’s range to avoid getting pincered or ambushed, okay?”

Clem and Levy nodded. Then, they went to the shop and followed Meng Xin to the middle road.

Miaomiao sighed and grabbed a new item. He picked another item that could increase his attack damage. Then, he rushed out to the bottom lane alone.

While Miaomiao was jetting toward his destination, Killer Queen got curious.

‘Why are you playing AD instead of AP? You’re an ability type, no?’

In MOBA games, AD was attack damage while AP stood for ability damage. Having high AD benefitted attackers that relied on normal attacks. As for the AP, mages and skill users needed them to use their full potential.

“Then, let me ask you this. What is AP?”

‘Ability Power.’

“What is my ability power?”

‘Hmm. Your abilities?’

“Duh. Then, what makes my abilities so special?”

‘Your massive dantian and your variety of Providence Qi!’

“Yes. So, how can I boost my skill power?”

‘I don’t know. Oh, right! Expand your dantian size?’

“Correct!”

‘But how? Are you going to cultivate? There is no Qi here other than the fountain. Are you going to sit there and cultivate?’

“Hell no. That would have been a waste of time.”

‘Then, how?’

“You saw my memory, right? In a certain game, there’s this peculiar champion that can gain AP after it killed minions with its skill.”

‘So you will try the same method?!’

“I’ll also try to use Vampiric Touch and steal as many Qi as possible.”

‘I get it! You’ll cultivate while you’re killing them, right?’

“Yeah, also, aren’t you a Chaos Eater? Give me some energy that you ate after you killed something.”

‘Roger that! Let’s do it!’

Getting a new idea, Killer Queen was hyped. She hummed as she was eager to kill more minions and representatives.

Miaomiao glanced at the katana and pondered. Although she was also suppressed by the world’s law, she could still use the old skills. It was reassuring to have her on his side.

A second later, Miaomiao reached the border area between factions. However, all representatives from the Heavenly Dao Faction were gone.

Miaomiao pinged question marks on his location. Then, he took his time, grabbing enemy minions and stealing their Qi until they died.

As the Qi entered his dantian, his black feathers shone.

DING

Finally, Miaomiao reached level 5, which was equivalent to the foundation establishment stage. He now could freely use advanced elements and Life Essence to the fullest.

While Miaomiao massacred another wave of minions, Ma Moxi passed by. He flew out of Chaos Realm Faction’s jungle and slipped into the forest on the opposite side of the river. Then, he dropped several wards in creep spawning areas.

Miaomiao was about to question what Ma Moxi was doing, but he no longer had the time to do so. From the Heavenly Dao Faction’s lane, Eve, All-Heaven Sage, and Sun Crow rushed down together.

Ma Moxi immediately sent a warning ping at Miaomiao’s location.

‘Incoming! Withdraw!’

“…”

Miaomiao backpedaled as instructed. While he was at it, he stared at Eve.

Looking at her reminded him of Houtu. He planned to dual-cultivate with her, but he was busy training his faction’s allies. Now that she showed up, Miaomiao had the urge to test her strength and weaknesses.

A wisp of his consciousness entered his dantian. Then, he summoned Eve’s clone at 100% potential to test her abilities.

The system still functioned under the suppression of this world’s law. However, Eve’s clone came out as a 4th-stage cultivator. Miaomiao tried fighting her and ran the auto simulation mode at the same time.

A second later in the real world, the fight was concluded. Miaomiao deeply exhaled.

It was tricky, but he could defeat her.

Miaomiao sent a sound transmission to Ma Moxi while the trio was pursuing him.

‘I’ll get Eve and that chicken. You try to assassinate the sage!’

Ma Moxi’s voice suddenly got louder, ‘Are you nuts?! Devil just warned us not to underestimate Eve!’

‘But she’s level 4. I’m level 5.’

‘Ranks are meaningless under the 8th-stage! Even a 4th-stage can kill a 7th-stage if their foundation is strong enough! Also, you’re fighting three opponents. One of them is a sage while that chicken is a deity!’

‘Let me try!’

‘Fuck!’

This was the first time that Ma Moxi swore at Miaomiao. He seemed mad.

But Miaomiao didn’t care. He grinned as his gold pupils turned red. Several red lines appeared on the ground and on everybody’s bodies.

Those were weak points and lines of death. Miaomiao had ignored this skill for a long time since it didn’t work against 8th-stage cultivators, immortals, and deities. But now, it could be useful in this situation.

RUMBLE

A hundred tank toys appeared in front of Miaomiao. He pointed his finger at the charging pursuers.

“KILL!”

“LOOK OVER HERE!”

“LOOK OVER HERE!”
