Chapter 17: Permanent Summon: Brutal Beast, Child of the Cave
[You used a Type One Summoning Contract Scroll. Target's willingness being assessed.] [Assessment successful. Target is fully willing to sign the contract and has extremely high favorability.] [Attribute difference assessment cancelled. You have completed the contract.] [You have obtained a permanent summon: Brutal Beast, Child of the Cave (Wu Da Bao).]
The Type One Summoning Contract Scroll transformed into a stream of light, sinking into Da Bao's body. At the same time, Chu Danqing formed a faint connection with Da Bao.
Da Bao froze, a look of confusion on his face.
Chu Danqing knew that Dimension Paradise was imbuing Da Bao with necessary common sense.
The reason for his daze was likely related to Da Bao's intellectual limitations.
[You have unlocked a new permission: Summons.]
Simultaneously, Chu Danqing gained a new permission. He glanced at Da Bao, knowing it would take him some time to recover, so he decided to check his attribute panel first.
[Brutal Beast, Child of the Cave (Wu Da Bao)] [Attributes] [HP: 55%] [Blood Rage: 90 (Current ratio: Constitution × 10, Current recovery rate: 1 point per minute)] [Strength: 7] [Agility: 7] [Constitution: 9] [Spirit: 1 (Locked)] [Perception: 8] [Talents] [Bloody Frenzy] [Effect 1: Converts own blood into Blood Rage Power.] [Effect 2: Deals more damage the lower the enemy's HP.] [Effect 3: Spirit attribute locked at 1 and determined by Constitution instead.] [Skills] [Rending Claws (Active) LV.7: When activated, attacks inflict 7 additional points of rending damage and apply a bleed effect to the enemy. Consumes 7 points of Blood Rage per minute when active.] [Bloodthirsty Pursuit (Passive) LV.7: Gains lifesteal effect when dealing damage to bleeding enemies and inflicts an additional 7 points of bleed damage.] [Beast Instinct (Passive) LV.MAX: Greatly increases instinctual awareness and perception efficiency. Enters a berserk state when HP drops to 30%.]
"Holy crap, are you a BOSS or something???" Chu Danqing was completely dumbfounded when he saw Da Bao's attribute panel.
The attributes, talents, and skills all had "+1% percentage increase" listed, which was provided by Chu Danqing's Summoning Basics skill.
Then there was the 0.5 additional bonus to his attributes, which was from his 10% attribute bonus. However, it seemed to have omitted a digit since Chu Danqing's Constitution was 6 points.
According to the explanation in Summoning Basics, he enjoyed an average of 10% of his apostle's attributes, so the actual bonus should have been 0.52.
Apart from the locked Spirit of 1, the rest completely overwhelmed Chu Danqing. However, Da Bao's Spirit attribute wasn't used for calculations; it relied on his Constitution.
Even his energy value was higher-end than Chu Danqing's, who still had the most basic energy value.
And both the ratio and recovery rate were embarrassing compared to Da Bao's.
Fortunately, Chu Danqing quickly calmed down. He had essentially struck gold. Da Bao was likely a mutated version of a BOSS, and this was his panel after being datafied by Dimension Paradise.
Before the revival of the Cave God's bloodline and the consumption of the White Dragon Fish, Da Bao's panel definitely wasn't this luxurious.
If he had contracted the White Dragon Fish back then and had it devour Da Bao, it might have activated the White Dragon Fish's true dragon bloodline, giving it a similar luxurious panel.
And this was just the beginning. Knowledge about summoning and summoning techniques flooded Chu Danqing's mind.
Only after he officially obtained a summon did his two basic skills activate; before, they were just for show.
Secondly, he also gained knowledge about the flaws of summoning-type creatures in Dimension Paradise, such as the more stringent requirements for learning skills and the greater restrictions on the use of equipment and items.
Then there was training. Apostles had to prepare resources not only for their own growth but also for their summons.
It was equivalent to needing to invest N+1 shares of resources for however many summons they had, but generally, they only trained permanent summons.
There were benefits too. If a summon died, the apostle could pay a price to revive it.
As for what that price was, the summon's permissions didn't mention it, but it would likely be revealed after completing the probationary trial.
"Little Chu, still hungry," Da Bao gradually recovered and said as soon as he opened his mouth.
He felt that he had become much stronger, and his original rage and violence had been restrained.
"I don't have any consumables left," Chu Danqing said helplessly. He had given everything he could, and he couldn't make something out of nothing.
"No eat, eat, Great White Ape," a glint of blood appeared in Da Bao's eyes as he unconsciously used the Blood Rage Power.
Originally, Da Bao's talents and skills were scattered and disorganized, and with his level of intelligence, he couldn't properly develop them.
He could only rely on instinct to use them, but after being transformed into Chu Danqing's permanent summon, his talents, skills, and even attributes were all digitized and intuitively integrated.
Coupled with his Beast Instinct skill, he gained a more efficient way to use them.
"What do you mean?" Chu Danqing didn't understand why Da Bao suddenly had this idea.
"Eat Great White Ape, I can, complete, stronger." Da Bao still spoke haltingly, obviously not yet accustomed to his own physiological structure: "Better, protect Little Chu."
At this moment, Da Bao also understood Chu Danqing's identity and possible future encounters.
He didn't regret it; staying here would mean a lifetime of food and clothing, but that wasn't what he wanted.
"Village Chief says, Cave God only." Da Bao gave his reason.
"The Cave God bloodline in you isn't complete yet? So you need to kill the cave beast?" Chu Danqing asked.
"Cave God bloodline gone, new power, not enough." Da Bao answered Chu Danqing's question.
"In other words, it needs to be supplemented." Chu Danqing immediately understood Da Bao's meaning: "Blood Rage Power is a new power born from the combination of the White Dragon Fish and the cave beast."
"You have enough of the White Dragon Fish portion, but you lack the power portion of the cave beast, right?"
Da Bao nodded, not speaking, but confirming it.
"Who do you think is stronger, you or the Great White Ape?" Chu Danqing asked.
Da Bao raised his head and confidently pointed at himself with his claws, indicating that he was stronger.
"That's good." Chu Danqing said, taking out the White Dragon Fish's Roar ma shuo and handing it to Da Bao.
Da Bao didn't take it, but waved his claws in refusal: "Can't use."
"I'm not asking you to use it as a weapon. I'm asking you to see if you can use the active effect on it. If you can, hehe." Chu Danqing revealed a smile.
7 points of Strength plus 5 points of Strength, Da Bao's Strength could directly reach 12 points. Even the White Dragon Fish might not have that much Strength underwater.
This was even before Chu Danqing added the bonus from his Summoning Basics skill.
