2: Poor Summoner! First entry: Tai Chi Master!
At this moment, the entire audience was shocked!
“Is he crazy? You can’t change your profession after you’ve specialized! Eight million just gone?”
“It’s like winning the lottery and then using the ticket as toilet paper!”
“A commoner becoming a Summoner, that’s certainly going down in history!”
No one expected Ye Ze’s attitude to be so firm that he specialized on the spot!
Summoner is indeed a rare profession.
Its upper limit is arguably the highest among existing professions, but it’s just too expensive!
A Summoner can summon multiple summoned beasts simultaneously, and each one’s attributes can even rival those of a professional!
At the same time, summoned beasts each have their own talents, skills, and equipment…
A powerful Summoner is comparable to a mercenary group.
But such powerful combat strength has to be accumulated with resources and money!
If there’s no money or resources…
Using the lowest-level summoned beasts, they might not even be able to defeat Newbie Dungeon mobs!
Therefore, no one expected Ye Ze to actually become a Summoner.
Especially the Vice Principal, who was so angry his beard bristled and his eyes widened:
“You, you, you, you!! Oh dear—”
After a long period of shock, the Ms. Secretary of Zhao Corporation’s expression became extremely displeased.
“Foolish!”
What was supposed to be a simple acquisition task had run into a freak, and she might even be punished when she returned.
With that, she turned and left without looking back, her high heels clicking.
Amidst a flurry of sighs, all the onlookers dispersed.
No one wanted to deal with the weak.
The once lively Class Two, Ordinary, was now left with only Ye Ze.
But not only was his heart completely calm, he even recalled a famous saying from his previous life:
“Others laugh at my madness, I laugh at their inability to see through.”
“Explain to these people? What a waste of time!”
“Only by mastering strength can I slap them hard!”
And at this moment, after the crowd dispersed.
A refined man in a green robe walked in, looking directly at Ye Ze:
“Should I scold you for being impulsive?”
“Or should I praise you for not being tempted by 8 million?”
Ye Ze finally smiled, “It’s all thanks to Teacher’s excellent teaching.”
“I never taught you to choose Summoner!”
This man in the green robe was Ye Ze’s Teacher, and also his father’s comrade-in-arms, Liu Boyan.
He sat opposite Ye Ze, a hint of melancholy appearing in his eyes:
“Why did you become a Summoner?”
Ye Ze’s father had enlisted in the Demon Suppression Army with him at the same time and was his most trustworthy comrade-in-arms.
And Ye Ze was his most favored and talented student after he retired from the army to teach.
After Ye Ze’s parents sacrificed themselves in the war, he practically treated Ye Ze as his own son.
It could even be said that no matter how the future developed, he could arrange a path for him.
But why, of all things, a Summoner?
Ye Ze: “Teacher, I’m going to be the strongest Summoner!”
Liu Boyan: “Get lost, my retirement fund can’t support a Summoner.”
The resources a Summoner needs to spend are simply a bottomless black hole.
Apart from the military, financial groups, and large guilds, no one can afford it.
Though he said that,
Liu Boyan still took out a skill book and pushed it to Ye Ze.
“I can only help you this much; from now on, you’re on your own.”
Looking at the skill book emitting a blue glow, Ye Ze felt a moment of trance.
A blue rare-grade Summoning Skill Book!
A Summoner can initially only summon a white slime.
To change summoned creatures, one either actively forms a contract with a wild summoned beast or learns a high-level skill book.
The former requires immense strength, the latter immense financial resources.
And for Liu Boyan, a retired old man, to be able to produce this rare skill book, he clearly spent a lot of money.
Ye Ze never expected it.
When he transmigrated to this world at the age of seven, his parents died in the line of duty. He originally thought it was a hellish start, but he never expected to have such a good Teacher.
“Teacher…”
Liu Boyan waved his hand, feigning nonchalance, but then he suddenly heard Ye Ze’s next sentence:
“How about I become your daughter’s live-in husband?”
Liu Boyan’s eyes immediately widened, and he kicked out:
“You take my skill book and then set your sights on my daughter?!”
Ye Ze quickly retreated to the back door, adding with a smile, “I’m not bad-looking…”
Liu Boyan went up and delivered another kick; this time, he was much faster:
“Get lost! I’m telling you, that skill book is a loan!”
“Go clear the Newbie Dungeon quickly!”
“If you don’t pass the college entrance exam in ten days, you’re coming to the Demon Suppression Army to be a laborer and pay me back!!”
This was an old veteran of the Demon Suppression Army; if he really got beaten up, he probably wouldn’t even need to enter a dungeon.
In a flash, Ye Ze slipped away, his feet greased.
As he left, he only left one sentence:
“I am the man who will become the strongest Summoner!”
Liu Boyan’s anger dissipated, and he cursed under his breath, “That scoundrel, becoming a Summoner…”
“It’ll be good enough if he can just pass the college entrance exam.”
…
After leaving the classroom, Ye Ze was pleasantly surprised when he saw the skill book Liu Boyan had given him:
【Skill Book: Iron-Eating Beast Summon】
【Quality: Blue Rare】
【Effect: Strength-type summoned beast - Iron-Eating Beast, can be summoned after contract; if summoned beast dies, cannot be summoned again for 1 day.】
Panda!
The first summoned beast is very important.
If it were the original white slime, even with a golden modifier, it might not have much strength.
Originally, Ye Ze was prepared to use all his savings to buy at least a green skill book.
He didn't expect that even under such unfavorable circumstances, Liu Boyan would still give him the maximum possible help!
Ye Ze let out a long sigh of relief on his way to the Newbie Dungeon.
“I can’t let him down!”
Skill book, learn!
【Your current Mental attribute can only contract one summoned beast. Do you wish to replace Slime with Iron-Eating Beast?】
Ye Ze looked at his level attributes:
【Ye Ze】—Level: 1 (0/100)
Attributes: Strength 5, Constitution 6, Agility 7, Mental 10
Summoned Beast Space (1/3): Slime.
————
10 Mental power can only contract one summoned beast.
Furthermore, with his current professional level, he can only contract a maximum of three.
To summon more, he would have to advance his profession.
After understanding the contract rules, Ye Ze decisively gave up the Slime:
“Replace!”
【Ding! You have learned the skill: Iron-Eating Beast Summon!】
【You have obtained a brand new summoned beast: Iron-Eating Beast (Rare)!】
After learning the skill, Ye Ze felt a change in his summoned beast space.
A black and white, round-bellied Iron-Eating Beast appeared in the summoned beast space, establishing a soul connection with him.
【Iron-Eating Beast】
Quality: Rare
Level: 1 (Same as Summoner’s level)
Attributes: Strength 10, Constitution 8, Agility 6, Mental 6
Talent: Iron-Eating Beast Bloodline (Rare)
Skills: Bite Lv.1 (Common), Bear Roar Lv.1 (Excellent)
————
A rare-grade summoned beast only has attributes comparable to a common Warrior.
This shows how difficult it would be for a commoner Summoner without resources to use common and excellent-grade summoned beasts!
They wouldn't even be able to clear the normal difficulty of the Newbie Dungeon!
But conversely…
The higher the quality of the summoned beast, the greater the benefits it brings.
This is why rich second-generation Summoners are strong: they can buy high-quality summoned beasts as soon as they specialize!
As for rare-grade…
It doesn't even catch the eye of these rich young masters.
Ye Ze finally looked at the draw button on the talent interface.
He held his breath:
“Which difficulty of the Newbie Dungeon I can clear depends on this talent modifier!”
Draw!
With a thought, countless golden modifier frames surrounded Ye Ze, flowing like a waterfall of light.
Two or three breaths later.
A modifier frame stopped in front of Ye Ze:
【You have drawn a Golden Legendary modifier: Tai Chi Grandmaster!】
