Chapter 17: Permanent Summon: Child of the Brutal Beast Cave

【You are using a Type-I Standard Summon Contract Scroll. The target's self-will is being judged.】

【Judgment successful. The target is completely willing to sign the contract, and their favorability is extremely high.】

【Attribute difference judgment cancelled. You have completed the contract.】

【You have obtained a permanent summon: Brutal Beast · Child of the Cave (Wu Da Bao).】

The Type-I Standard Summon Contract Scroll transformed into a stream of light and merged into Da Bao's body. At the same time, Chu Danqing formed a faint, lingering connection with Da Bao.

Da Bao was also stunned, his expression becoming dazed.

Chu Danqing knew this was the Dimension Paradise instilling necessary common sense into Da Bao.

The reason he was stunned was likely related to Da Bao's intellectual disability.

【You have unlocked a new permission: Summon.】

At the same time, Chu Danqing also obtained new permissions. He glanced at Da Bao; it would definitely take some time for him to recover, so he decided to check his attribute panel first.

【Brutal Beast · Child of the Cave (Wu Da Bao)】

【Beast Instinct (Passive) LV. MAX: Significantly increases instinctual awareness and perception efficiency. Enters a Berserk state when HP drops to 30%.】

"Holy crap, are you a boss, you son of a..." Chu Danqing was completely dumbfounded when he saw Da Bao's attribute panel.

Among the attributes, talents, and skills, there were "+1% percentage increase" markers; these were provided by Chu Danqing's basic summoning skills.

Then there was the 0.5 extra attribute bonus, which was the boost provided by his 10% attribute bonus. However, one digit should have been omitted; Chu Danqing's Constitution was 6 points.

According to the explanation in Basic Summoning, it enjoys a 10% bonus of the Apostle's average attributes, so the actual bonus should have been 0.52.

Except for the locked Spirit at 1 point, everything else completely crushed Chu Danqing. But Da Bao's Spirit attribute did not participate in judgments; it relied on the Constitution attribute.

Even his energy value was more high-end than Chu Danqing's; he still had the most basic energy value.

And regardless of the ratio or recovery efficiency, compared to Da Bao, it was simply unwatchable.

Fortunately, Chu Danqing calmed down quickly. This counted as picking up a bargain; Da Bao was likely a mutated version of a boss and had a panel after being digitized by the Dimension Paradise.

Before reviving the Cave God's bloodline and swallowing the Bai Longyu, Da Bao's panel definitely wouldn't have been this luxurious.

If he had contracted the Bai Longyu back then and let it swallow Da Bao, perhaps he could have activated the Bai Longyu's True Dragon bloodline, making it possess a similarly luxurious panel.

And this was just the beginning. A lot of knowledge related to summoning studies and summoning arts emerged in Chu Danqing's mind.

Only after he officially possessed a summon did his two basic skills count as activated; before that, they were just for show.

Secondly, he also learned about the flaws of summoning-type creatures in the Dimension Paradise, such as more rigorous skill learning, more restrictions on the use of equipment and props, etc.

Then there was cultivation. Apostles not only had to prepare resources for their own growth but also had to prepare a portion for their summons.

It was equivalent to needing to invest N+1 portions of resources for however many summons one had, though usually, people only cultivated permanent summons.

There were benefits, too. After a summon died, the Apostle could pay a price to resurrect it.

As for what the price was, this permission for summons didn't mention it. It was highly likely that one would only know after completing the Reserve Trial.

"Little Chu, still hungry," Da Bao gradually recovered and said as soon as he opened his mouth.

He felt he had become much stronger; his original anger and violence had been reined in.

"I don't have any consumables left on me." Chu Danqing was also helpless. He had already given everything he could; naturally, he couldn't make bricks without straw.

"Don't eat, eat, Big Bai Yuan." A trace of blood-red light appeared in Da Bao's eyes. Unconsciously, he used the power of Blood Rage.

Originally, his own talents and skills were scattered and messy, and with his level of intelligence, he couldn't develop them normally.

He could only rely on instinct to use them, but after being converted into Chu Danqing's permanent summon, his talents, skills, and even attributes were digitized and intuitively integrated.

Combined with his Beast Instinct skill, he gained a more efficient way of using them.

"What do you mean?" Chu Danqing didn't understand why Da Bao suddenly had this idea.

"Eat Big Bai Yuan, I can, complete, stronger." Da Bao's speech was still stumbling; clearly, he wasn't used to his own physiological structure yet. "Better, protect Little Chu."

At this moment, Da Bao also understood Chu Danqing's identity and his possible future encounters.

He didn't regret it. Staying here would mean being free from worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, but that wasn't what he wanted.

"Village Chief said, Cave Beast is unique." Da Bao gave his reason.

"The Cave God bloodline in your body is not complete now? That's why 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 understood Da Bao's meaning immediately. "Blood Rage power is a new power born from the combination of the Bai Longyu and the Cave Beast."

"You have enough of the Bai Longyu portion, but you lack the Cave Beast power portion, right?"

Da Bao nodded without speaking, but he also gave confirmation.

"Who do you think is stronger, you or the Big Bai Yuan?" Chu Danqing asked.

Da Bao raised his head and confidently pointed at himself with his claw, indicating he was stronger.

"That's good." Chu Danqing said, taking out the Bai Longyu's Roar horse-spear and handing it to Da Bao.

Da Bao didn't take it, but waved his claws to refuse. "Can't use it."

"I didn't ask you to use it as a weapon. I want 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. The Bai Longyu might not even have such high Strength at the bottom of the water.

And this was without Chu Danqing adding his summoning basic skill bonus.
