The Weakest Summon? The Devil's Contract Talent At The Beginning Is Maxed Out

Chapter 4: Give Up Early, Get Treatment Early, Enter The Factory Early, Make Money Early, And Avoid

Tao Qian eventually changed professions to become a warrior monk.

And he gambled on a B-level Talent.

Although it's not an A-level Talent, Tao Qian seems quite satisfied.

After Tao Qian changed professions, Zheng Yu didn't stay in the temple and went home early.

Because there is no guild for summoners, among the millions of job changers in Jiuzhou, there are not even a hundred summoners.

And among these hundred summoners, 98% of them probably didn't even consider becoming professionals.

How could there be a guild?

Without a guild, there are no seniors or experienced professionals to guide them.

Everything has to be figured out on their own.

Zheng Yu wasn't interested in the job changes of others, he only waited for Tao Qian.

Because he could tell who his true brothers were and who were false friends.

...

Back home.

Zheng Yu bypassed the scattered piles of garbage and entered his room.

This is a relief house given to impoverished households by the government.

When he transmigrated into this body, Zheng Yu's parents, who had the same name as him, were long gone.

Leaving Zheng Yu alone, raised by his grandfather.

His grandfather passed away two years ago, and this relief house given to his grandfather by the government has now become Zheng Yu's only place to live.

Entering the room.

Zheng Yu, who has always been clean, tidied up the room very neatly. Although it is small, it is still cozy.

He didn't spend much time with his grandfather in this world.

Burying his grandfather was also a way to give closure to this body.

After that, it was a life on his own, not much different from his previous life. Zheng Yu didn't feel any discomfort after transmigrating.

He had a simple meal.

Zheng Yu started doing his work.

He first brought up the attribute panel.

Name: Zheng Yu

Title: None

Profession: Summoner

Level: Level 1 (100 experience points away from the next level)

Health: 1100

Mana: 110

Strength: 11

Intelligence: 13

Agility: 11

Remaining attribute points: 5

Skills: [Contract Array], [Beast Enragement]

Summoning Space: No contracted summoning beasts (currently able to contract 1)

Talent: Devil's Contract, Deacon's Heart

Equipment: None

On the Talent list, it doesn't show the Hex Enhancing Rune, but the recently obtained Prismatic Level Devil's Contract and Silver Level Deacon's Heart.

The S-level Talent that the staff and class teacher saw earlier was the display of Devil's Contract.

However, Zheng Yu felt that Devil's Contract was not just an S-level Talent.

Devil's Contract can consume maximum health in exchange for the summoning beast's Talent... but he needs a summoning beast first.

Zheng Yu looked at his empty summoning space.

He found a dusty book.

"Starting from Scratch: Playing as a Summoner"

A textbook.

Hmm, a book that has been abandoned for a long time, and hasn't even been flipped through.

Zheng Yu never thought about becoming a summoner, so he never even glanced at this book.

He knew nothing about how to contract summoning beasts or how to develop as a summoner.

"Starting from scratch indeed."

Zheng Yu commented.

He opened the first page of the textbook and saw a sentence.

"Please give up on the summoner profession."

A straightforward discouragement.

"If you really have no other choice but to become a summoner, then be prepared... to enter the factory."

"Because this book won't be of any help to you."

Zheng Yu: "..."

Wow.

Is this a textbook?

So straightforward?

Zheng Yu patiently flipped through it, and in less than ten minutes, he finished reading this hundred-plus-page textbook.

Because there really wasn't much content.

Apart from the first few pages teaching how to contract summoning beasts, the rest were all illustrations.

The author of this book collected many pictures and information about summoning beasts and wrote some comments that were more like nonsense, barely making up a book.

At the end of the textbook, Zheng Yu saw the author's vision for summoners.

"The relationship between summoners and summoning beasts is not like the relationship between other professionals and skills, but a relationship of mutual growth."

"Summoning beasts are like creatures sealed by skills."

"Through contracts, they help you in battle and grow together with you."

"The summoning beast's attack and skill damage values are directly related to the summoner, so it can be said that the summoner's Talent limits the growth of the summoning beast."

"But on the other hand, it also means that if the summoner's Talent is high, they can cultivate the summoning beast to the level of competing with other professions."

"Of course, this is just my personal fantasy. Summoners and young people who are about to change professions to become summoners, don't hold onto this fantasy. If you have that kind of Talent, why not choose a profession that grows faster, like a warrior or a mage?"

"Isn't that more appealing?"

"In conclusion, the sooner you give up, the sooner you can heal, the sooner you can enter the factory, the sooner you can make money, and the fewer detours you'll take in 40 years!"

"Author, Zhang Anquan."

Zheng Yu: "..."

A book like this can be chosen as a textbook, showing how unwelcome summoners are.

But in reality, there really isn't much to teach.

Not like a warrior, who needs to choose between the flow of blood and the flow of frenzy, between offense and defense, or between focusing on output.

Every style requires careful selection of skills.

How to allocate skill points, attribute points, and choose equipment, as well as which area of the Abyss to farm, all require careful consideration.

Making one wrong choice can lead to taking a detour.

This is why textbooks and professional courses exist.

"I need to buy a Level 0 summoning skill book first."

Zheng Yu opened his computer.

He clicked on the Temple website built by the Department of Justice.

On the homepage, he found the store section.

Equipment, skill books, and various potions dropped in the Abyss were all sold here.

"Summoning skill books."

Zheng Yu searched for the keywords.

Hundreds of items for sale popped up.

Although there weren't many summoner players, there were still people selling summoning skill books online, and many of them.

Mostly because they were useless to keep, so they hung them on the website without charging any fees.

Waiting for a sucker.

After searching for a while, Zheng Yu only found one Level 0 summoning skill book.

[Summon·Goblin]

[Skill Book, Level 0 learnable]

[Disposable item, the skill book disappears after learning, can be learned by summoner professionals, and obtain a trainable goblin.]

[Price: 500 yuan]

Cheap as hell.

Zheng Yu dared to say that this was the cheapest item in the entire store.

Even a bottle of potion that increased health by 200 points cost 1000 yuan.

Zheng Yu laughed and said self-deprecatingly, "This is probably the only advantage of being a summoner."

Cheap prices.

Because they can't be sold, no one buys them, so they're cheap.

Zheng Yu saw that a tradable skill for warriors, a Level 0 learnable Furious Slash, cost 12,000 RMB.

Summoner skill books were even less valuable.

Because there was only one Level 0 learnable summoning skill book in the market, it saved the trouble of choosing.

"Goblin is just a goblin, better than nothing."

"Now it depends on whether Devil's Contract is powerful or not."

Zheng Yu purchased the skill book.

It was directly transferred to his personal inventory through the holy light of the temple, which was very convenient.

He set up the contract magic circle in advance.

The contract magic circle was a basic skill that summoners possessed.

After using the skill book, a green-skinned goblin appeared in the center of the magic circle.

Unlike other professions that learned skills from skill books, summoners' skill books summoned creatures.

Just like what was written in the textbook, summoning beasts were life forms sealed by skills.

"Contract!"

As Zheng Yu spoke.

The contract magic circle lit up, and the goblin's initially confused eyes gradually cleared. When it looked at Zheng Yu, it felt a sense of familiarity.

[Congratulations, you have successfully signed a contract with the summoning beast·Goblin. The goblin will be summoned in the form of a skill and will improve as your level increases.]

[Summoning beasts can wear equipment. When a summoning beast dies, there is a chance for equipment to drop.]

[Summoning beasts will not truly die. After death, they will wait for resurrection in the summoner's space.]

After successfully signing the contract, the goblin's attributes appeared before Zheng Yu's eyes.

[Summoning Beast·Goblin]

[Level]: Level 1 (Increases with the summoner's level)

[Health]: 400

[Attack]: 32.5 (13 {Summoner's Intelligence} * 2.5 {Coefficient})

[Talent]: 0th rank (1 Talent point away from leveling up) (+)

[Skill I]: Leap Hammer Strike Lv.1

Jump high and quickly strike the enemy, dealing 162.5 (5 {Coefficient} * 32.5 {Goblin's Attack}) damage, with a 15% chance to stun the opponent.

[Skill II]: Stone Throw Lv.1

Precisely throw a stone, dealing 130 (4 * 32.5 {Goblin's Attack}) damage.

[Summoning Beast Equipment]: None

Zheng Yu looked at the goblin's attributes and was speechless for a moment.

No wonder summoners have a hard time leveling up. With this kind of strength, no one wants to team up with them.

Just the 400 health points alone already put them at a disadvantage compared to other professions.

The goblin's attack power and skill damage were related to Zheng Yu's intelligence, proportionally according to the coefficient. The problem was... the coefficient was too low.

A skill could only deal a little over 100 damage.

Although the summoning beast was currently only Level 1, it would improve as it leveled up.

But the problem was, no one was willing to team up with a summoner, so the summoner had to farm the Abyss alone. With these values, they couldn't even defeat small monsters.

The main issue was that summoners themselves didn't have much combat power; they relied entirely on their summoning beasts.

The goblin didn't provide any sense of security at all.

"I hope Devil's Contract will give some power."

Zheng Yu placed his hopes on Devil's Contract.

He opened the Devil's Contract Talent.

A prompt popped up:

[For every 10 points of sacrificed health limit, gain 1 Talent point.]

Zheng Yu thought for a moment.

He tentatively sacrificed 600 points of his health limit.

Gaining 60 Talent points.

Zheng Yu didn't sacrifice all of it, after all, the summoning beast could be resurrected if it died, but if he died, he would truly be dead.

He still needed to leave some health to ensure his own margin of error.
