The teacher in charge of guiding told Li Youyou: "Don't be nervous, take a deep breath, try to concentrate, and say silently in your heart: 'Summoned body from another world, please come to me.'"
"Remember, as long as the summoned body doesn't appear, don't stop!"
"Okay, okay!" Li Youyou nodded nervously and looked towards the audience. Her good friend Gillian gave her a thumbs up.
The guide teacher walked down the summoning platform and shouted to Li Youyou: "Let's start! Come on!"
"Summons from another world, please come to me...Summons from another world, please come to me..."
Li Youyou closed her eyes and kept reciting this sentence silently in her heart. At the same time, she also added some more content: "Brother, bless me! Let my summoned body's combat value exceed one thousand!"
Buzz!
Suddenly, the space on the summoning platform was strangely distorted, and everyone held their breath. They knew that the summoned body was about to appear!
"Come on! Youyou! We're going to succeed!" Gillian shouted.
"Summoned body from another world, please come to me...brother, protect me!"
Bang!
A burst of white light suddenly flashed, as if the dazzling sunlight made it difficult to look directly, and then, a figure stood in front of Li Youyou.
Everyone removed their hands that were blocking their eyes and looked at Li Youyou's summoned body.
A male summoner, in his early twenties, looks very handsome, but he doesn't look very strong.
Others' summoned bodies are either wearing mighty armor and holding a variety of ferocious weapons in their hands, making them look very tough.
Or he is wearing a mage's robe, holding a staff, and carrying strong magic fluctuations, which is intimidating.
And Li Youyou, the summoned body, has no armor or weapons. She looks very ordinary and gives people the impression of being elegant and easy-going, not fierce at all. Such a summoning physical competition?
People in the audience were whispering, and many people were not optimistic about Li Youyou's summoned body.
"Did you summon me?"
The summoned body spoke, and Li Youyou slowly opened her eyes, looked at the man opposite her who was more than half a head taller than her, and nodded numbly: "Yes, it's me."
"Hello, nice to meet you." The male summoner stretched out his hand and said with a gentle smile: "My name is Zhang Ze. I hope we can get along happily in the future."
Li Youyou looked at Zhang Ze's hand and shook it mechanically.
"His hands... are so warm."
Zhang Ze's pupils shrank slightly, and Li Youyou's message appeared in his field of vision.
【Li Youyou】
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Level: Junior Summoner
Intimacy: 5%
Family relationship: Father Li Tiehu is 52 years old and a construction worker. Mother Shulan is 50 years old and works as a handyman. The younger brother Li Bin is 5 years old. The elder brother Li Jie was 22 years old and died three years ago.
…
"It turns out her name is Li Youyou. Well...her brother Li Jie is about the same age as me, but unfortunately he is no longer alive." Zhang Ze sighed slightly.
A few minutes ago, he was still waiting for the call in the darkness, and suddenly he heard a young girl's voice in his mind.
"Summoned body from another world, please come to me...brother, protect me!"
Then, a bright spot appeared in front of him. Zhang Ze followed the sound and walked towards the bright spot. A dazzling white light flashed and he came to this world.
It feels amazing, like the birth of a new baby.
Just when Zhang Ze was stunned, the instructor had already stepped onto the summoning platform, holding a device similar to a temperature measuring gun in his hand, measuring Zhang Ze.
After a while, he shook his head and said to Li Youyou who looked expectant: "It's a pity that your summoned body's combat value is only 357 points. Alas, it is too low."
Extremely disappointed, Li Youyou's tears immediately flowed down. She covered her face and knelt down to cry bitterly on the summoning platform, looking very sad.
Zhang Ze was a little confused. What happened? Why are you still crying?
What made him even more depressed was that the low level of intimacy between him and Li Youyou actually dropped by 2%!
Gillian immediately ran up and hugged Li Youyou to comfort her, and guided the teacher to sigh and said: "Take your friends down, others have to use the summoning platform."
"Yes, teacher." Gillian nodded and helped the heartbroken Li Youyou down the summoning platform. Zhang Ze thought for a moment and followed behind.
"Well, why is Li Youyou crying?" Zhang Ze couldn't help but ask Gillian: "Is it because my combat value is too low?"
Gillian shrugged and said unabashedly: "Yes, only a summoned body with a combat value of one thousand can win the competition. People like you... are basically cannon fodder!"
Zhang Ze was a little unhappy: "Just because a broken machine determines that I'm not good? Isn't this unfair?"
"Don't be unconvinced." Gillian said, "The detector is a high-tech product with extremely high accuracy. There has never been an error."
She looked Zhang Ze up and down, curled her lips and said, "To be honest, even without a detector, I can tell your strength just by looking at you. I'm afraid you can't even beat an ordinary person!"
Zhang Ze was speechless. Did he look so weak?
"Stop talking, Gillian." Li Youyou wiped away her tears. She sniffed and said, "This has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang Ze. It's because I am incapable of summoning a powerful summoner."
Zhang Ze didn't like hearing this even more. After all the talk, the two girls still thought he was too weak.
In his own world, Zhang Ze is still a summons to a great god. Not to mention everyone's admiration, he is also a thunderous figure.
As a result, here, he turned out to be a scumbag...
"I have to prove my strength!" Zhang Ze opened the summoning space and prepared to summon a follower to open the eyes of the two girls. However, when he opened the summoning space, he found that he could only summon one follower.
"Due to the summoner level restriction, you can only summon one follower within 24 hours."
Zhang Ze looked stunned: "My summoning technique is still affected by Li Youyou? What a rip-off!"
"Oh, forget it, let's slowly develop a relationship with Li Youyou." Zhang Ze sighed and followed Li Youyou and Gillian out of the academy.
The two came to the crossroads, and Gillian and Li Youyou said goodbye.
"Yuyou, I'm going home, don't be too sad. Although this summoned body can't participate in the competition, you can let him work for your family to make money, for example, follow your father to work on the construction site!" Gillian pulled Li Youyou holding his hand and saying: "In short, we can't let him eat for free!"
"This, it's not good..." Li Youyou glanced at Zhang Ze and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Zhang Ze's body can't do heavy work."
Zhang Ze had a black line on his head and summoned the master, but he was going to the construction site to move bricks?
"Zhiqiu, you lied to me! Where is the friendly attitude and equal relationship? It's all a lie!" Zhang Ze cried silently in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Gillian put her hands on her hips and said politely: "Only summons with a combat value of more than one thousand and able to participate in the competition are worthy of respect. How can you raise a scum like this with a combat value of three hundred?" Do you want to control him? Don't be soft-hearted, you have to do what you need to do!"
Li Youyou sighed and said, "Okay, I understand."
After seeing Gillian off, Li Youyou looked at Zhang Ze and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang Ze, my friend is like this, he speaks straightforwardly."
Although Li Youyou is young, she is very considerate. Hearing her words, Zhang Ze felt much better.
"Actually, I'm very strong!" Zhang Ze emphasized: "There must be something wrong with that broken machine!"
"I know..." Li Youyou nodded absently and said, "Let's go home first. Mom and dad are still waiting for my news."
Zhang Ze followed Li Youyou all the way to a dilapidated community. He saw that the people who came in and out of here were all wearing the same clothes as Li Youyou. They were very old and had patches on them. Not only were they skinny, but they also looked disheveled. It seemed that The look of not having enough to eat.
"The famine in this world is serious. People are about to starve to death..." Zhang Ze shook his head secretly.
Entering a five-story earth building, Li Youyou took Zhang Ze to his home on the third floor.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
As soon as she heard that her daughter was back, Shulan hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and was stunned when she saw Zhang Ze following Li Youyou: "This is...Yuyou, your summoned body?"
"Yes." Li Youyou nodded and introduced his mother to Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze greeted Shulan politely: "Hello, aunt."
"Hey, okay, okay..." Shulan was a little at a loss, and she hurriedly said: "Please sit down, um, I'll get you some water."
"Auntie, you're welcome, I'm not thirsty." Zhang Ze smiled and waved his hand. He felt that Li Youyou's mother was very simple.
Zhang Ze looked around at this room. It was forty or fifty square meters, about the same area as his original house.
However, only he and his sister lived in Zhang Ze's house, but four people were crowded here, and the house was filled with many things, making it appear crowded and small.
Li Youyou first walked into the bedroom to look at his sleeping brother, and then found that Li Tiehu was not at home, so he asked, "Mom, where is my dad?"
"Your dad bought you delicious food!" Shulan said happily: "Today is the day when you officially become a summoner. Your dad specially asked for leave and said he would buy you your favorite tofu."
"Oh, tofu is so expensive!" Li Youyou frowned and said hurriedly: "Our family doesn't have much money to begin with, so we should save it to buy synthetic dry food. Moreover, we owed a sum of money in order to save my brother... …”
Shulan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Our Yoyo is now a summoner. She can make more money for the family, and her life will not be so tight in the future."
After hearing this, Li Youyou's face turned ugly. She hadn't told her mother yet that her summoned body's combat value was only over 300.
"Mom, actually..." Li Youyou bit her lip and told her mother the truth.
Shulan's expression suddenly froze. She had always held great hopes for her daughter, hoping that Li Youyou could become an outstanding summoner like her deceased eldest son Li Jie, so that the family could live a good life.
It now appears that this hope has been dashed.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I let you down!" Li Youyou lowered her head and apologized with tears in her eyes.
Shulan hurriedly put on a smile, hugged her daughter and comforted her: "What are you apologizing for? It doesn't matter if you can't participate in the competition. We can do other jobs. We have hands and feet, and we won't starve to death!"
Zhang Ze felt uncomfortable standing nearby. He wanted to interrupt several times and emphasize that he was actually very strong, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything because even if he said it, no one would believe it.
After a while, Li Youyou's father, Li Tiehu, came back excitedly, carrying a piece of hot tofu in his hand.
"Haha, good daughter, look what daddy bought you?"
As soon as he entered the door, Li Tiehu happily showed the tofu in his hand to Li Youyou and said with a smile: "This thing is rich in protein and has high nutritional value. It is commonly known as 'meat in the field'. We can't afford fresh meat, but tofu is still good." Yes, I will replenish my eldest daughter’s body today.”
As a result, he saw Zhang Ze at a glance, and was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Are you...Yuyou's summoned body?"
"Hello, uncle." Zhang Zeqian greeted with a smile.
Li Tiehu laughed and walked over, shook hands with Zhang Ze enthusiastically, and said: "Hello, hello! From now on, your daughter will be relying on you!"
"His dad, come here." Shulan stuck her head out from the kitchen and waved to her husband. Li Tiehu walked in confused. After a while, he returned to the living room with a heavy expression, sitting on a chair and smoking a cigarette. .
Apparently, he already knew.
However, Li Youyou and his family were all in a good mood. After Li Tiehu smoked a cigarette, he put the matter behind him and returned to his careless demeanor, dragging Zhang Ze to drink with him.
On the dining table, in addition to tofu, there are also several dishes with no visible ingredients. The staple food is a bowl of sticky stuff. According to Li Youyou, this is synthetic dry food. You can eat it by soaking it in water. What does it taste like? Don't hold out hope, it has no nutrition, it's just edible.
"This wine was bought for me by my son when he won the runner-up in the regional competition last time. Three years have passed in a blink of an eye... Come and try it!" Li Tiehu poured a glass for Zhang Ze. After the two clinked their glasses, Li Tiehu drank it all. .
"There's nothing good to eat, Mr. Zhang Ze, don't be offended."
Shulan divided the tofu into four equal pieces, and everyone had a share except her.
Li Tiehu silently passed his share to his wife and continued drinking with Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze frowned as he looked at the food in front of him. To be honest, this is not food for people to eat at all!
"Do you usually eat these things?" Zhang Ze turned to ask Li Youyou, and Li Youyou nodded: "Well, the cultivated land in the Pure Land of Paradise is very small, and all of it belongs to the nobles. We ordinary people can only eat this kind of synthetic food. "
Zhang Ze snorted angrily and said, "Why do these nobles occupy the land? Has no one ever thought about overthrowing their rule?"
Li Tiehu hurriedly made a gesture of silence and said nervously: "Little brother, you can't say this nonsense! You may lose your head!"
Li Youyou also whispered: "In addition to the ordinary army, the nobles also have a powerful team of summoners to serve them. Ordinary people cannot defeat them."
"So that's it..." Zhang Ze nodded slightly.
"Sister, rat!"
5-year-old Li Bin pointed at the corner with his little finger and shouted: "There is a mouse!"
Li Tiehu got up and hurried to catch the mouse, but the mouse was very agile and he couldn't catch it at all. He could only watch the mouse get into the mouse hole in the corner.
Rat meat is also a rare delicacy, but unfortunately these rats are very cunning and difficult to catch.
"Alas, we can hardly open the pot at home, and rats are coming to steal our food." Shulan sighed with a worried look on her face.
Hearing his mother sigh, Li Youyou felt uncomfortable. After eating a few mouthfuls, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and returned to the bedroom.
Zhang Ze stared at the mouse hole and had an idea in his mind.
