This Summoner Is Too Powerful

[Grass!]

Straw Man: This guy doesn't even look as good as Ben Cao.

Regarding the honey flower standing in front of everyone, the Straw Man gave a very fair comment.

"Senior... your taste is a bit heavy."

Li Pu also sighed.

Because overall, this honey flower is humanoid.

Wearing a short floral dress, with a graceful figure.

But that head, it's not a human head; instead, it's a big peach-colored flower.

This reminded him of Senior Chang's chomp-chomp flower. Perhaps it's due to its appearance that's why he's embarrassed to show it to people.

"Uh, what do you know."

"As long as it reincarnates, the honey flower will look more and more human."

"No way! How did you lead me astray!"

"That's not what I wanted to say!"

Cai Yan couldn't help but blush a little.

[Buzz Buzz~]

And when the bee lady saw the honey flower appear, she flew over, cheering.

[Honey Honey~]

The honey flower, initially uncomfortable being hugged, quickly gave up struggling, seeming accustomed to it.

Then, the small bee lady dove right into the flower head of the honey flower, starting to sip on it.

"This..."

Li Pu was a bit at a loss for how to describe the scene he was witnessing.

Fortunately, the honey flower was not yet a completely human form; otherwise, it would be quite something.

"Senior, did you use a directional summoning symbol for your second summoned beast?"

Suddenly, he remembered this question.

Now that the Straw Man is already LV21, it's possible he might soon need to use that directional summoning symbol.

"That's right, at the time I used a level 2 directional symbol."

Mentioning this, Cai Yan couldn't help but puff up his chest with pride.

The school plans the students' growth well. Basically, when it's time to summon the second beast, you get a level 1 directional summoning symbol, allowing you to choose a summoning condition clause.

Of course, even a level 1 directional summoning symbol isn't handed to you for free.

You need to complete professional courses, pass midterm and final exams, and participate in monthly tests to earn points.

The purpose of these points includes exchanging them for a directional summoning symbol.

Some outstanding students can earn more points.

Those with more points can choose corresponding rewards from the school's list.

Most people choose to spend their points upgrading a level 1 directional summoning symbol to level 2.

Cai Yan is a top student in the collection major and the entire lifestyle department.

His past excellent results earned him enough points to upgrade the summoning symbol from level 1 to level 2.

"The honey flower, I selected specially by setting criteria with the clauses."

Then Cai Yan explained further to Li Pu.

He chose the honey flower for the combination with his summoned beasts.

First, the honey produced by the honey flower is a great nurturing material for the bee lady.

From its smooth body, you can see it's both abundant and high quality.

This means, having the honey flower, regarding cultivation resources, he doesn't need to worry about the bee lady anymore.

You just need to focus on feeding the honey flower, raising one being equivalent to raising two, saving a lot of effort.

The second reason is that the bee lady isn't naturally a combat-oriented beast.

Her best skill is actually gathering certain rare resources and treasures.

That's why when he fell in the first round of the freshman arena match, he lost the chance to choose the combat department, only following the recommendation to join the collection major in the lifestyle department.

This has always been a regret in Cai Yan's heart.

Though after joining the collection class, he fell in love with the major.

But that didn't stop him from having a heart set on becoming a strong summoner.

Therefore, with only a level 2 directional symbol unable to guarantee a 100% specific summon of a powerful combat beast, he chose the next best thing.

Using 2 adjustable clauses, he selected a summoning beast that could provide combat assistance to the bee lady.

That beast being the honey flower.

The honey flower itself is weak in combat but is a very good support-oriented beast.

It can boost companions' combat power by releasing various types of pollen or nectar.

And due to the race, bee ladies belong to the type that has extra effects when aided by pollen or nectar-type support moves.

"So, there's this kind of strategy, as expected of senior."

After listening to the explanation, Li Pu felt very taught.

Before this, he never considered the combination of summoned beasts.

And Cai Yan's bee lady and honey flower, undoubtedly, are good companions in life (?), and good partners in battle.

But Li Pu also didn't know what type his second summoned beast should be.

After all, he's assured to have a level 3 directional symbol, so the conditions can definitely be more specific and precise.

However, for him, nurturing materials are not an issue at all.

With the sacrifice, nurturing materials are not needed at all.

As long as he has relevant items and crystal coins, the levels can soar rapidly, much faster than usual nurturing materials.

As for battle cooperation, what kind of existence could assist the Straw Man?

Earth gives birth to wood, water gives birth to wood, should he summon an earth-person? A water-person?

Or let the Straw Man play support and summon a fire-person?

Each battle, use the Straw Man as firewood, letting the opponent burn brighter.

Whether it's earth-person, water-person, or fire-person, they all feel like elemental-type beasts.

Li Pu thought, it seemed not as practical as Sister Jiang's needle mouse.

The needle mouse's sharp spike attacks have good armor piercing and breaking effects.

The sharp long-range area attacks also compensate for the Straw Man's shortcomings, because not every enemy will foolishly stand there waiting for it to throw fireballs.

(Now's not the time to think about this, let's focus on what's in front of us.)

Shaking his head to dispel distractions, he continued negotiating with the senior.

Eventually, they reached an agreement.

Li Pu has to raise the bee lady from LV12 to LV16 and the honey flower from LV10 to LV14 within 5 days, with nurturing materials provided by Cai Yan.

Which means about one level up per day.

If not for the example of Yi Lunyou in front of him, Cai Yan would never believe such a ridiculous speed.

However, with the monthly exam approaching, he decided to give it a try.

If successful, he would challenge the combat department's monthly exam as a lifestyle department member.

At twice the market price, Cai Yan has to pay 2400 crystal coins.

But if Li Pu cannot complete it in 5 days, then payment would be made according to the actual progress at the normal market price.

For Li Pu, this is indeed a big task, even bigger than the one Senior Yi offered.

But from his previous... oh no, training experience, for 5 days, it's not needed at all.

Soon, he could finish collecting the money and continue his aphid business.
