"Hmm, very good. But what about Plunging Attacks?"
Alex had a face full of question marks. Could it be unlocked at level 60?
And he could already jump quite high from a standstill, so Plunging Attacks were completely feasible.
It's fine even without it. He was a Summoner; why would he need melee or Plunging Attacks?
With that, Alex stopped focusing on that and instead looked at his... Constellation Level 1: Come at me!
Because of the Constellation Level 1 bonus, Alex's summoned creatures now numbered five.
And for his Combat Skill... Alex tried to use his Combat Skill.
The next moment, a small Baron Bunny.
And a Hydro element creature, half his height, looking exactly like him.
So, this was the fixed, completely controlled Hydro element mentioned in Constellation Level 1, Come at me!
Alex bent down to look at "himself," and "he" also looked at Alex.
"Wow, so exquisite," Alex nodded, finding it a bit strange to use himself as a summoned creature. With that, Alex transformed this half-meter tall summoned creature into Furina's likeness.
Seeing it transform into a half-height, larger Furina, Alex's eyes lit up, and then the smaller one also transformed into a small Furina.
At a glance, the comparison was clear: the larger one was obviously more exquisite, beautiful, and vibrant!
Look, look, the large Furina's eyes were moving, she was even blinking!
Meanwhile, the smaller, transformed Furina instantly dropped in quality, looking very stiff.
"Snap~" The large Furina silently raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
Then her body instantly became much shorter, but in front of her appeared her three small summoned creatures.
"Sing for me~"
Alex's mind echoed Furina's voice from the video he had watched earlier.
"Clap, clap, clap!" Alex couldn't help but applaud himself. It was too brilliant!
And then, the summoned creatures finally had a summon space where they could be stored!
Finally, the main point.
Constellation Level 2 appeared!
Constellation Level 2: Summoning Domain: (Unlocked, requires 10,000 Primogems.) Generates a domain within a certain range. Within the domain, summoned creatures deal 20% increased DMG and have 10% increased Attack Speed.
Constellation Levels 3-6 (Requires unlocking Constellation Level 2. Constellation Level 3 unlocks for 10,000 Primogems.)
Oh? This Constellation Level 2 is really good, it adds DMG and also some Attack Speed.
This wave, he felt more and more like a support DPS character.
There was the Crimson Bloom Seal's DMG increase, and now summoned creatures also had increased DMG and Attack Speed.
His teammates and their summoned creatures could also benefit from these, which was awesome.
But... sniff, sniff, his Primogems were gone.
He'd think about it later; spending 10,000 for this Constellation Level 2 wasn't urgent.
And this Constellation Level 3 also required 10,000 Primogems.
Although it felt like each unlock was 10,000, it still required a lot.
He couldn't imagine! What about after Constellation Level 4, would it suddenly increase to 20,000?
At this point, Alex closed his phone. He had seen most of the new content.
Now! Of course, it was time to... catch summoned creatures!
Charge, charge, charge! This time he could catch five and put them into his space.
It was a pity that if he could see growth values or something, he would travel the world to catch them and become a hardcore gamer.
Luckily, it wasn't like that; all the monsters here were pretty much the same.
There was a bunch of Whopperflowers here; he'd take two, one Cryo and one Pyro. Speaking of which, Electro ones were quite rare in Liyue.
A large Hydro Slime, he'd take one of those too. This one could spit bubbles to trap people, which was very good, and it could also use a 'Mount Tai Press' to smash people.
He'd leave the remaining two slots open for later. He wondered what good, useful monsters there were to catch in Liyue.
Alex pondered, and the next moment, his eyes lit up.
Oh! Geovishap Hatchlings!
Good, good, good, then I'll head to Tianqiu Valley first; there are a few there.
Alex opened the map on his phone and, based on his memory, confirmed that he should continue driving towards the lower left, in the southwest direction.
Haha, it's you!
Upon spotting the target, Alex directly picked up a Shitou by the roadside and threw it.
He had to admit, his throw was quite accurate; it hit that Geovishap Hatchling directly.
Then, it was successfully captured. The next moment, the Geovishap Hatchling disappeared from the Teyvat continent and entered Alex's summoned creature space.
"Yay, I successfully tamed a Geovishap Hatchling!" Alex made a V-sign. This one was also considered caught.
There was one last slot! Alex then thought of Rifthound Whelps!
He didn't know if Fontaine had any before, and Inazuma's Tsurumi Island definitely had them, but the sudden lockdown of Inazuma a while ago was very annoying.
However, there was another place where he could catch Rifthound Whelps.
That was mentioned in Razor's quest: two wolf packs were fighting, and the invading wolf pack lost, so they lingered on the outskirts.
It was referring to the black dogs from Inazuma, the Rifthounds.
Let's go! With that thought, Alex decided it was time to go to Mondstadt.
While he wasn't busy, he should quickly get a Wind Glider, a portable waypoint, and a wind catcher would also be quite good.
He started the car music, and as the music played, Alex began driving into the sky again.
"Hmm?" The dark-green-clad young man, who had just finished clearing a batch of evil spirits, became alert again.
This time, he wanted to see what was going on with him, how he could fly through the air.
"Thud."
Alex, who was driving towards Wolvendom, seemed to hear the sound of something colliding with an energy shield.
It might have been a small bird. Well, sorry, he hadn't noticed.
"Hmm... Hello, outsider." The young man stood steadily on top of Baron Bunny's energy shield. Even now, Baron Bunny's speed had reached six or seven hundred.
"Oh, holy crap!" Alex gasped in fright. He looked down and saw nothing, but when he looked up, he saw.
It turned out to be someone he was familiar with.
The next instant, as Alex recognized the person as an ally, Baron Bunny immediately deactivated its defense against the newcomer.
The next moment, Xiao landed directly and stood on the back seat of Baron Bunny, completely unguarded.
"Uh."
"It's Xiao~ Hello~" Alex greeted him, and the speed of his flight in the air slowly decreased.
Before going to Mondstadt, talking to Xiao and building a good relationship would also be quite good.
"Hmm, what brings you here?" Xiao looked at Alex in front with sharp eyes, while also crouching down to reduce air resistance.
"Hehe, I just went to play with Rhodeia of Loch, and after playing, I fought a few monsters. Now I'm about to leave," Alex said with a smile.
"I see." Knowing his intention and that the person was not dangerous, Xiao was enveloped in a dark green aura the next moment and then disappeared.
"So, you came to... Hmm? Xiao?" As he spoke, Alex realized Xiao was gone from behind him.
"Xiao!!!" Alex shouted.
At this moment, Xiao reappeared on the back seat of Alex's Baron Bunny: "What is it?"
Seeing Xiao called back by him, Alex quickly said, "Nothing... that, hmm? He's gone again."
He hadn't expected that the first person he'd talk to in Liyue would be Xiao, but this Xiao was a bit difficult to interact with.
