Chapter 144: Choose for yourself.
Xueyue withdrew.
It was Susan's turn.
She is not as lively as Nicole; she is more meticulous in her work and has a strong sense of patience and observation.
Previously when I went down into the mine.
Seven maids followed him into battle, and Susan was always able to spot the monsters hidden in the darkness before the other maids.
Li realized that there was a profession that would suit her well with this kind of personality.
"Susan, come forward."
Susan obediently stepped forward, her face showing little excitement, only calm anticipation, and bowed slightly.
"master."
Richard nodded.
[Hint: Should Susan be promoted to Contract Soul Master?]
【Yes】
[Job Change Successful! Susan Masters Four Major Skills of Contract Soul Master:]
[Soul Contract (Passive): Consumes mana to form a soul contract with a monster or beast that possesses self-awareness. Cannot tame monsters that are beyond one's combat strength.]
【One Person Forms an Army (Passive): The number of contracts increases based on the Extraordinary Level. The initial Extraordinary Level has 100 contracts, and each subsequent level of combat power increases the number of contracts by 100.】
【Wild Frenzy (Blessed): Consumes mana to enrage a designated contracted beast, temporarily doubling all its attributes. The more contracted beasts there are, the greater the mana consumption.】
【Unwavering Loyalty (Special): Half of the damage received is evenly distributed among all contracted monsters. The effect disappears when all contracted monsters die.】
...
This is also a magician profession, and the process of reversing life force into magic power made Susan suddenly stunned.
Her eyes suddenly glowed with a faint purple light, as if she could see through the very essence of the demon's soul.
Knowledge of contracts and techniques for taming monsters flooded her mind, allowing her to instantly grasp the core secrets of communicating with monsters and establishing contracts.
This class relies entirely on contracted beasts for damage output, similar to the [Enchanting Dancer] class. Its combat power is negligible in the early stages.
When facing monsters of the same level, most extraordinary professions can easily crush them. Only when thousands of monsters attack at the same time will they feel any pressure.
Regardless of others, Richard's area-of-effect skill, [Ice Storm], alone can easily slaughter a large number of people.
under these circumstances.
The effect of having one hundred monsters of the same extraordinary level as Susan in battle is extremely limited.
But the advantage is...
After obtaining the monster contract, you can slowly raise it, just like you would raise the armored flying insects and rock crabs that you forcibly tamed in the mine.
Forcibly tamed monsters are somewhat unsettling, as one might fear they might suddenly go berserk and attack the territory.
Similar incidents had occurred several times before with the Swiftwind Dire Wolves, which were not yet fully tamed and were running around everywhere.
As a result, the car rushed into the street, causing considerable casualties.
If it weren't for Earl of the Wolf obtaining a large quantity of calming and soothing herbs from the Golden Forest, the problem of monsters harming people would still be occurring from time to time.
And with the blessing of the soul contract.
Monsters do not need to be tamed; they can be commanded directly through thought, just like Da Yun, as if they were his own limbs.
One more thing.
Monsters are all gluttons with enormous appetites, and their advancement speed is definitely faster than Susan's. Who knows, one day she might even become a high-level transcendent, and the monsters she raises could reach the Star Glory level.
If you can contract some monsters with all sorts of weird magical attacks, it's like leading a magical army into battle, making you a top-tier character in the later stages of the game.
of course.
Richard didn't send Susan to the battlefield when he asked her to switch professions.
Instead, they hoped she could raise some cute and interesting pets to add some different fun to the lord's manor.
Keeping cats and playing with dogs was a leisurely pastime for the nobility, and Richard was no exception.
Get a few clingy kittens, remember our domain name: [domain name omitted], and you can read our content anytime. Or get a big, licking dog that loves to lick people's toes—that's what makes life a little more interesting.
Animals that are tamed using ordinary methods are particularly unruly, and like to defecate and urinate anywhere, and tear up furniture, which is extremely annoying.
Moreover, the lord's manor is filled with so many flowers and plants; if Richard were to break a few flowerpots, he would be heartbroken.
Now we have Susan.
Through a soul contract, one can manipulate and tame them with some basic common sense, thus avoiding many unnecessary troubles.
Not only can I get my pets to obediently defecate in the litter box, but I can even make them poop upside down without any problem.
The ideal pet is one that is extremely easy to care for and clean.
...
All of these professions.
It's not that he only has the four regular skills activated by the system; that's just information the system is giving Richard.
This allows him to clearly understand what these professions can do through the skill descriptions on the system panel.
[Career Advancement] As indicated during loading, all professions have been adapted to reality.
What they realized.
These are not rigid game commands; they can make subtle optimizations to the skills based on their own changes and insights, and even develop new uses.
Just like Richard.
Susan was now a true beast tamer, no different from Earl of the Wolf's extraordinary profession.
She could learn and comprehend all of Earl Runwolf's animal taming skills, soothing techniques, and warhorse coordination.
Her unique "Unwavering Loyalty," an incredible ability that allows her contracted beasts to share the damage, is a realm that Earl Wolf could never reach, no matter how hard he tried.
The same reason.
Martha's [Life Apostle] profession is similar; currently, she can only rely on the instincts granted by the system to release the [Light of Life].
Once she becomes proficient, she will be able to precisely expend the required life force for various diseases or injuries.
They can even develop more sophisticated healing techniques for different ailments, far surpassing the healing arts of the Holy See.
This is the true meaning of changing jobs.
Give them a key to unlock the door to power; how far they can go beyond that door depends entirely on their own understanding and effort.
...
The maids excitedly shared their joy after the job change.
Petals and halo.
Singing and dancing.
The lord's hall was bustling like a girl's boudoir. Richard didn't stop them, but looked at Lina instead.
She was the last one who hadn't changed jobs yet.
"Lina."
"Come to my side."
Lina walked quickly to the lord's throne, and Richard took her hand and asked softly:
"They've all changed jobs. What about you? Do you want to choose a support job or a combat job?"
Previously, she had to manage the household affairs of the lord's mansion and help with the trivial matters of the territory, leaving her no time to train or go mining with everyone.
Fortunately, Wendy is now in charge of the city hall and has established a sound administrative system, which has finally freed her from the complicated affairs.
Now that she has finished her few daily tasks, she follows in the footsteps of the other maids and begins to train diligently.
She knew she started later than others and needed to put in twice the effort, so she dared not slack off in the slightest.
Richard saw her maturity and hard work and admired her greatly.
Therefore, we intend to give her the choice, rather than assigning her based on the needs of her profession.
This compensation.
She deserves it.
Richard briefly explained the basic information about most professions to her, allowing her to choose the one she liked.
Lina pondered for a moment.
then...
Without the slightest hesitation, with clear and firm eyes, he said:
"master."
"I want to switch to Shadow Blade."
