Chapter 7: Summon Beast Breeder
Chapter 7: Summon Beast Breeder
The conversation between Li Chun and Li Wu ended with Li Wu's inspirational speech. As Li Chun witnessed Li Wu's unwavering determination and listened to his clear and touching words, she was deeply moved, feeling a profound impact. Some harsh words lingered on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.
This reaction was understandable.
Li Chun called Li Wu over, primarily concerned about his performance during the summoning ceremony. She feared he might get too caught up in his own thoughts and struggle to cope if he faced setbacks.
Her intention was to provide guidance and support, not to discourage him.
After listening to Li Wu's speech, she felt that perhaps encouraging him to give it his all might be more beneficial than discouraging him.
However, there was something she didn't know.
The person who truly needed that bowl of inspirational speech was herself. As for Li Wu?
Apologies, although she served the soup, she didn't take a sip.
In truth, she scoffed at her own words.
What effort? What miracles?
She couldn't help but laugh at the idea. If effort worked, why would anyone need cheats? The soup was brewed for others, but she consumed cheats herself!
Of course, Li Wu wasn't someone who relied on cheats.
Although he desired to do so, unfortunately, the cheats in his home weren't powerful enough, so he had to put in the effort.
After leaving Li Chun's office, Li Wu immersed himself in his studies.
He didn't stop even after school ended; the first thing he did was head straight to the library.
For Li Wu, the real focus was just beginning.
Since the summoning ceremony could only be performed at the age of 18, one could only know if they became a summoner after the ceremony. Therefore, to avoid affecting regular students' studies, the school placed all summoner-related courses in the elite class.
Yes, it should be mentioned that these courses were offered in the senior year's elite class.
Li Wu had two options to access knowledge in this field: joining the elite class or visiting the library.
Indeed, the library had relevant resources, readily available for anyone interested.
Li Wu headed there with a purpose.
...
In the Library.
Li Wu glanced at the approaching Plumpie.
"You can go back first."
Plumpie kept her head down, her plump face expressing concern as she whispered, "I... I also want to read."
Let her be, Li Wu thought.
Without saying much, Li Wu found a spot, sent the mini skeleton to occupy it, and began browsing the library, starting his book-scanning spree.
The Summoner's Awakening, Summoned Beast Basic Encyclopedia, On the Cultivation of Summoned Beasts.
A Discussion on Some Unspoken Matters Between Summoners and Summoned Beasts.
On the Possibility of Summon Cat-Eared Beast Maidens.
In no time, Li Wu returned with seven or eight books, then moved the mini skeleton aside and resumed his book-devouring mode.
Plumpie, sitting beside him, watched as Li Wu, who had been reading all day, continued his intense reading. Her plump face was filled with worry.
Since yesterday, Li Wu seemed like a changed person.
The once uninterested reader was now engrossed in books, and his attitude towards her had improved significantly.
Everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction, but Plumpie still felt a bit anxious.
She couldn't pinpoint her worries, but she had a bad feeling, a sense of unease.
On Li Wu's side, after spending half an hour reading a book, he stretched and noticed Plumpie staring at him with a furrowed brow. "Aren't you supposed to be reading? Why are you staring at me? If you keep looking at me, I'll punch you, believe it or not! Here, take this book and read it!"
"Oh, oh!"
Plumpie quickly lowered her head, taking the book Li Wu had just finished and pretending to read it.
Li Wu didn't know why, but after he gave Plumpie a good scolding, her mood suddenly improved.
Li Wu was unaware of the change in this girl, as he was currently focused on observing his childhood friend sitting across from him.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he had ever seriously considered his cheapskate friend.
Taking a closer look, Li Wu noticed that although Plumpie had gained some weight, she still had a good figure and a fair complexion. Her facial features were well-proportioned, and even her plumpness had a cute, rounded appeal.
"Hmm, if she loses some weight, she'll definitely be a beautiful girl," Li Wu thought to himself.
As he voiced his thoughts, Plumpie, who had been pretending to read a book, froze. She cautiously lifted her head to look at Li Wu, seemingly to confirm if he had indeed said those words. But when she looked over, she saw Li Wu had returned to his book-devouring mode.
Li Wu spent four hours in the library, using that time to read through all eight books he had brought with him.
He meticulously examined the 1619 editions of the books!
After finishing, Li Wu gained a basic understanding of the Summoner profession.
The core of the Summoner profession lies in their Summoned Beasts.
Summoners engage in combat through their Summoned Beasts and enhance their abilities through training.
As the Summoned Beasts grow stronger, Summoners receive a certain degree of reciprocal nourishment. In other words, as Summoners improve, their ability to contract a second or even a third Summoned Beast relies entirely on this reciprocal nourishment.
In essence, only when Summoned Beasts become powerful can Summoners follow suit.
This is why the quality of the initial Summoned Beast is crucial.
If the initial Summoned Beast has superior quality, it's relatively easier to nurture, and the Summoner's strength increases more rapidly.
However, if the initial Summoned Beast's quality is poor, and it can't be cultivated, the Summoner's path is essentially blocked.
For ordinary people, there's virtually no hope for those who can summon Mini Skeletons to become professional Summoners.
But Li Wu is no ordinary person.
He has his cheats, so he doesn't worry about these things. He only cares about how to cultivate his Summoned Beast.
Regarding this, the books Li Wu saw also provide answers. There are indeed many ways to cultivate Summoned Beasts, but the most mainstream methods are two.
One is training!
Different Summoned Beasts require different training methods, and finding the right one can enhance the Summoned Beast's strength.
The other method is to spend money on in-game items!
Everything can be achieved by spending money, and even a Mini Skeleton can be transformed with sufficient funds.
However, the so-called spending money doesn't mean directly throwing money at the Summoned Beast.
Instead, it's about investing in Summoned Beast Breeders!
The name Summoned Beast Breeder implies their role.
Yes, they are specialists dedicated to researching and breeding Summoned Beasts.
They call themselves Summoned Beast Scientists and often say to Summoners, "You're just a summoning tool, what do you know about Summoned Beasts!"
Of course, they have the credentials to say this, as they are indeed exceptional.
They can enhance the strength and even the quality of Summoned Beasts through methods like creating training guides and brewing potions.
A good Summoned Beast Breeder holds a position of high status, surpassing even professional Summoners.
When Li Wu realized this, his eyes lit up...
