I Live on the Land in Global Games-Chapter 121 - 120: Summoning Lightning Skill

Lunch ended, Mu Ying bid farewell to Grandpa Shom and Wuyaya and contently summoned the Player Manual to begin learning the Summoning Lightning Skill.

Within the casting range, by designating a point above oneself that can be seen, the Summoning Lightning Skill can summon a cylindrical Thunder Cloud area that is 10 feet high and 60 feet in radius, causing a bolt of lightning to strike from the cloud towards a point within your line of sight, inflicting lightning damage.

The duration of the spell is 1 minute per level, during which time, continuous lightning can be fired.

A third-ring spell really isn’t so easy to learn; Mu Ying practiced from noon until the sky darkened, yet she couldn’t successfully summon the complete Thunder Cloud.

Of course, the limitation of Mana Value was also an important reason that slowed down her learning speed.

This was still in the Plantation where the natural atmosphere was rich, where Mana Value recovery rate was nearly double.

Here, her Mana Value recovery rate increased from 10% per hour to 18%.

Although a third-ring spell was more powerful, it also consumed a lot of Mana Value; a single stable casting would consume 15 Mana Points, and with Mu Ying’s current ability, she could at most consecutively cast eight third-ring spells.

Moreover, she was still unskilled in casting, often wasting some Mana Value, which further reduced the number of times she could cast.

It was still a clear day at noon, but by the evening, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Thunder Clouds summoned by the Summoning Lightning Skill weren’t very high, she might have thought she had influenced the weather.

Looking at the sky, it seemed likely to rain, and probably heavily.

Fortunately, the cultivation difficulty of the Gem Tree lay in providing Magic Power and natural power; they weren’t delicate and could withstand a brief torrential rain.

After depleting her Mana Value, Mu Ying practiced her Bow and Arrow Skills and swordsmanship skills until the rain had yet to fall, but the sky grew increasingly overcast, guessing that it was getting late, she then teleported back to her territory.

Just as she steadied herself inside the Tree House, she heard a "boom," followed by the crackling sound of rain hitting the leaves.

"I came back just in time," Mu Ying said as she pushed open the living room window, and a burst of moist air hit her face.

The residents of the territory, caught by the sudden downpour, were running with their heads down.

She stood before the window for a long time, Shi Yin, the statuette, sat obediently on her shoulder, clutching a sliver of dark green hair.

As the residents returned to their houses or tents, the territory gradually quieted down, only the faint sounds of talking from the tavern could be heard, mixed in with the rain, barely discernible.

This thunderstorm weather was quite suitable for practicing another form of the Summoning Lightning Skill.

With Her Mana Value half recovered, she could practice three more times. Mu Ying took out her Magic Wand, pointed it at herself to apply a Waterproof Magic, and teleported to the edge of the Quarry Camp.

This area was full of Rocky Mountain, and the visibility was relatively clear. After Mu Ying had moved the Petrified Lizards to the Breeding Camp for confinement, there were no more dangerous creatures here.

She passed through the camp’s protective shield and walked outside for a while, then looked up at the sky to cast her spell.

The second form of the Summoning Lightning Skill was to directly control a piece of Thunder Cloud overhead during stormy weather.

With the enhancement from the weather, casting was easier, and the power of the lightning was somewhat greater.

This time, she immediately connected with a small section of the Thunder Cloud above her, the Thunder Cloud churned, and a weak little lightning bolt emerged, quickly disappearing.

Although this bunch of lightning was overly malnourished, it also represented a milestone-like progress in her Summoning Lightning Skill.

Taking advantage of the Thunder Cloud still under control, Mu Ying continued to brew the second bunch of lightning, which looked much more vigorous than its predecessor.

minutes had passed, the Summoning Lightning Skill expired, and Mu Ying summarized the gains and losses before continuing with the second round of practice.

"Teacher Su, do you see that cloud over there? Doesn’t it look a bit off? I’ve seen it produce lightning several times now."

Hearing this, Professor Su put down the pen in his hand and walked to the eaves. His fingers instinctively headed towards the bridge of his nose, groping air before he remembered his nearsightedness had cleared up.

He and his wife, though not as physically fit as the younger generation and lacking prospects in their professions, were indeed much healthier than before the apocalypse.

Looking in the direction his wife pointed, Professor Su indeed saw continuous lightning, each bolt thicker than the last.

"From this distance, it doesn’t seem far from the camp. I wonder if there’s another troublesome Monster appearing!"

Both of them looked worried.

Mu Ying, having depleted her Mana Value once again, returned to the Quarry Camp, thinking of collecting the stones accumulated over time into her territory page and walked a bit further inside the camp.

She found the two professors standing at the entrance in a daze. Their trousers were half wet from the rain, and their poses were strangely similar. If not for recognizing their faces, she might have thought there were two wooden stakes erected there.

"Professor Su, Professor Du, what are you looking at? Be careful not to catch a cold!"

The professors snapped back to reality, only then feeling their trouser legs cold and damp.

Mu Ying felt a meaningful look from the professors and asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Professor Su said, "Xiao Mu, you better head back. Take care of yourself. The future depends on you young people."

Professor Du said, "Yes, today’s lightning is quite unusual. Be careful when you go out these next few days."

The professors held hands and supported each other back into the house.

Having received a dose of concern and an unexpected insight from the professors, Mu Ying walked away perplexed. "Was today’s lightning really that strange?"

By the time she returned to the Tree House, it was already dark.

The Wolf Pack and Gungun were lying in front of the fireplace, warming themselves, one next to the other.

Thus, upon returning, Mu Ying was immediately faced with this fluffy, adorable critical hit spread across the floor.

Not wanting to miss such an opportunity, Mu Ying decisively went over to dry their slightly wet fur and pet each one, ensuring everyone got some attention.

Surrounded by fluffy happiness, Mu Ying basked in the bliss, unaware of when a tiny paw from a miniature Silver Wolf was pressing down on her hand.

"?" Mu Ying paused for a second, then remembered she seemed to have missed one due to its small size; she could only gently tap it with a fingertip, afraid that more might hurt it.

The feelings of the Avatar Shi Yin were communicated back to the original.

In a certain place along the Time-Space River, a silver giant wolf covered in wounds licked its injuries, looking pitifully with watery eyes.

In the past, Mu Ying loved to stroke him, even praising how beautiful and silky his fur was. In a blink of an eye, Mu Ying was stroking other creatures. Those Wolf pups were dusty and grey, none looking as good as him, and that Iron-eating Beast, so fat, none as sleek and beautiful as him!

He couldn’t stand it. He had to heal quickly, become stronger quickly, so he could return and put those ugly creatures in their place. The number-one fluffy status in Mu Ying’s heart must be his!

Ah! Mu Ying finally remembered him, Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

With eyes closed, he finely felt the touch transmitted from his Avatar, a broad grin breaking across his face, suddenly making the wounds hurt less!
