Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 258: Level 2 Rush

In the entire Myriad Heavens Starry Road, there were probably very few people who could match Gu Nan's understanding of last hitting and minion waves.

It wasn’t that Star Rulers were too stupid. Rather, they didn’t understand these kinds of rules at all, and it was even more impossible for them to dedicate time to research the gameplay under these rules.

Gu Nan naturally had his considerations when he had Wu Gui attack the enemy champions.

He considered the number and frequency of the minion waves in Champions World.

Based on Ying Ge and Zi Dian’s experience, there were only six minion waves here every day, and they were concentrated in the period from noon to dusk, so the frequency naturally won’t be low during this time.

Therefore, under Gu Nan's intentional control, when the “Mi duo" finished pushing, the second minion wave on both sides had already spawned and were about to arrive.

Under Wu Gui’s astonished gaze, Gu Nan actually dashed forward and rushed towards the Black Base troops.

Even Mi Luo and Mi Tian were taken aback by his actions. They almost thought that this fellow who’d been “taking it easy” all this time finally burned out his brain and wanted to rush forward to court death.

One should know that all of them were Level 1 right now. They would probably die in the blink of an eye if they directly faced off against such a large group of mortal troops.

Of course Gu Nan wasn’t planning to court death. He stopped in front of the minion wave with great precision to ensure that all the enemy troops could see him, but he was still slightly outside their attack range.

Next, he made an outrageous move—with a Blink, Gu Nan teleported directly behind the commander of the Black Base’s troops.

On the other side, the “Mi duo" sneered simultaneously.

"And here I thought this person came up with some good method… In the end, a beginner is still just a beginner." Star Ruler Mi Tian shook his head first, not bothering to hide the mockery in his eyes.

The fact that the other party could enter this world naturally meant that he was also a Star Ruler, but they didn’t expect him to be so naive.

‘Does he think he’s the only one who can think of a trifling tactic like beheading the enemy commander? When he tries, he’ll realize that the commander is far harder to kill than ordinary soldiers, and once killed…’

‘Sorry, all the soldiers will go berserk, which is not worth the cost at all.’

What the two didn't expect, however, was that after Gu Nan approached the commander of the Black Base, he had no intention of killing the commander and instead lifted him up with one hand.

The effect of "Prodigious suppression" was always there, weakening champions’ attack power and defense when facing mortals, but the champions’ actual strength hadn’t been suppressed.

Even if Gu Nan didn't have the Evil God Physique, it would still be easy to lift a mortal up.

So under the dumbfounded gazes of all the Black Base minions, Gu Nan didn't kill the commander. He… He kidnapped the commander!

"What does this person… want to do?" The two Star Rulers were equally confused.

In their field of vision, Gu Nan was running around in a circle holding the enemy commander in one hand, while troops from the Black Base were constantly chasing him.

Star Ruler Mi Luo seemed to react. "He’s stalling for time!"

"Isn't stalling helping us?" Star Ruler Mi Tian couldn't help laughing involuntarily. He really didn't know what to say about this beginner.

One should know that the second wave was arriving soon. Once the two waves of allied forces join together, their offensive would only be more fierce, and the attack on the enemy city walls would only intensify.

……

Yang Guang, dressed in armor and armed with a spear, walked on the lane with his head held high.

He was in very high spirits. After all, the greatest wish of his life was just around the corner, just like the tall city wall that had already appeared before his eyes.

Although the esteemed champions who descended weren’t too reliable, the education he received since childhood made Yang Guang temporarily forget this matter.

"Ah Guang, there's going to be a war!" Yang Quan, his younger brother, said excitedly as he stood beside Yang Guang with the same expression on his face.

Yang Guang was so moved that words almost failed him, so he just nodded vigorously.

"Ah Quan, I… Hey, what's that in front of you?!” Yang Guang was just about to speak with his brother when he saw a large mass of black shadows fly past the other side of the city wall.

Yang Quan looked over there in astonishment. After a long time, he finally answered, "It seems to be… an esteemed champion!? Hurry! Let’s inform the commander. We must rush there immediately!"

……

The second minion wave arrived a little faster than Gu Nan expected, but this didn’t affect his movements.

He led the Black Base’s army around in a small circle again, then finally tossed the enemy commander back.

When the second waves arrived, the positions of the frontline minions on both sides actually stopped just outside the attack range of the city wall.

"Perfect!"

After completing this series of actions, Gu Nan immediately praised himself shamelessly.

Wu Gui very cooperatively played the straight man, "What's the use of this?"

"Now that I’ve controlled the waves to this level, our two opponents can no longer last hit," Gu Nan explained with a sneer and added, "Follow me!"

On the opposite side, Mi Luo and Mi Tian were still entirely unaware. They waited until the two armies made contact with each other again, then immediately went forward to continue pushing.

Despite being close to the enemy's city wall, it was still possible to attack the melee troops.

They just didn't expect that this time, the other side’s two champions seemed to have gone crazy. As long as they dared to come forward to "last hit," those enemy champions would immediately pursue them relentlessly, launching fierce attacks.

This time, the two enemy champions attacked together, pursuing Mi Luo and Mi Tian as far as over half of the Black Base’s wave. They were extremely arrogant.

When the two Star Ruler brothers wanted to counterattack, those two always shrank back immediately, but unfortunately, Mi Luo and Mi Tian couldn't chase them… After all, they were still right underneath the enemy’s city walls.

The two Star Rulers who were originally in high spirits finally began to realize the disgusting feeling of having their minion wave stuck under the enemy’s tower.

"So that’s it… You planned this?" Wu Gui looked back at the city wall and felt an epiphany.

Gu Nan smiled. "Wave management is just a means to an end. Do you know how much money they’ll lose out on in this wave?"

Wu Gui shook her head very honestly, but although she didn't understand, Gu Nan understood it well.

Each side had around 500 minions in a single wave, of which about 5% were truly "valuable."

A small number of minions will be "marked" by the world right before they die. This kind of mark wasn’t obvious and required careful observation on the champion’s part.

Last hitting ordinary minions was worth only one champion coin, and sometimes there was no money at all. However, marked minions were worth at least 30 champion coins.

"The total value of a minion wave is around 1,000 champion coins, while the 25 valuable minions account for 75% of that income," Gu Nan said thus. "I call this kind of minion marked minions."

"In the first wave, in order to push the wave, the enemy champions missed a large portion of the minions. Moreover, they only dealt the final blow to around ten marked minions, and this was even divided between two people.”

"I, on the other hand, have already killed 14 of the 16 marked minions that appeared." Gu Nan's smile remained unchanged as he pointed to the front. "In the remaining wave, I can absolutely last hit every single one."

Wu Gui glanced between Gu Nan and the minion wave. "But if the other side continues to attack the minions, our city wall will be in danger when their next minion wave arrives."

Wave control playstyles were most afraid of mindless pushing. Although Wu Gui didn’t know this, she had extremely rich combat experience and could analyze it by herself.

"We just need to get rid of one of their champions," Gu Nan seemed to already have a plan.

"How?"

"Rush to Level 2."
