Fern couldn't help but interject, "But even though the boss is a beastmaster, he is also very powerful. At least, under equal conditions, I feel that I can't beat him at all."
The old man with white beard laughed and said, "That's just because you are not familiar with your profession. Each profession has its own advantages. You will understand once you show your specialties. The specialty of a beastmaster is summoning creatures. A beastmaster who does not rely on summoning creatures will never be able to defeat a close combat warrior no matter how powerful he is. This is common sense that cannot be violated."
Barbara also felt something was a little strange. A beastmaster could bring five summoned creatures at the same time. Wasn't this much better than other professions? Logically speaking, there wouldn't be such a completely unbalanced setting.
Seeing that Fern didn't say anything but still looked unconvinced, the old man with white beard chuckled and said, "I'll study it carefully for you in a moment, and you'll understand the logic behind it and whether I'm talking nonsense or not. Now, let's talk about the summoned creatures of the beastmasters. The summoned creatures of the biological and plant systems are all divided into four categories, from bottom to top, they are low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and the rarest divine-grade. For the beastmasters of the animal and plant systems, divine-grade summoned creatures are like treasures and are very difficult to find. The summoned creatures of the angel and devil systems are divided into two grades, divine-grade and super-divine-grade."
Barbara was speechless.
Jella smiled and said, "My Angewomon is a divine one."
Seeing Barbara's unhappy face, the old man with white beard smiled and said, "So, the potential of angels and demons is something that the plant and animal types cannot compete with. Of course, nothing is certain in this world. There is no shortage of creatures that can create miracles in this world. Although, so far, I have not seen a miracle of an animal type beastmaster."
Barbara thought for a moment, and then said respectfully, "Old Senior, I want to ask how I can obtain a divine summoned creature."
Since I know that the most powerful summoned creature in the biological system is a divine product, of course I have to ask how to get it. If I can get five divine product summoned creatures, that would be extremely awesome.
"There is no essential difference between the eggs of summoned creatures. The key is what kind of energy they absorb when they are hatched. In addition, the upgrade process of summoned creatures is not fixed. The energy absorbed in this process is generally very strict. Therefore, if you are not careful, you may even evolve a summoned creature that is initially at the divine level into a high-quality beast. There are too many unexpected situations, and you can only learn to control them slowly. It is very difficult to cultivate summoned creatures, so it is not easy to be a beastmaster. Of course, if you have some rare treasures, such as the Dragon King's ten thousand year inner elixir to feed summoned creatures, even a low-quality summoned creature can be evolved into a spirit beast in the blink of an eye, hehe."
Barbara thought to herself that the old man's words were consistent with what the white light voice said at that time. It seemed that this must be the only way to cultivate summoned creatures. As for the last method, only she could obtain the inner elixir of the Dragon King, and she would not be carrying a low-grade summoned creature. It seemed that the old man was just joking.
Bai Lan, who had been silent the whole time, finally asked in confusion: "Hey, you old thing, a beastmaster can lead five powerful summoned creatures, then how can we melee warriors survive? This is too unfair, I strongly apply for a job change, I also want to be a beastmaster, huh~"
The white-bearded old man stroked his white beard, laughed, and said, "As I said, every profession has its own strengths and weaknesses. The only strength of a beastmaster is that he can summon five summoned creatures, and everything else is a weakness."
Barbara, Bai Lan and the others were all stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Lan shouted, "This little Songzi is so powerful that he can beat the Bull Demon King even without any summoned creatures. Now he has five more summoned creatures, which makes him even more powerful than before. How can you say it's a weakness? You old man are not honest, huh."
The white-bearded old man placed his hands on his knees and said, "Okay, since you don't believe me, I'll compare a melee warrior with a beastmaster. I'll study it for you to hear."
Bai Lan snorted, "Well, then a beastmaster has to lead five awesome summoned creatures. Let's see how you compare."
The white-bearded old man nodded and said with a smile: "Be serious. On one side is a beastmaster with five summoned creatures, and on the other side is a melee warrior. Assume that both sides are of the same level. First of all, there are their initial attributes. At the initial stage, there is no difference between the two sides. When they reach level one, the difference is also very small. However, the further they go, the greater the difference in the data of the two sides' colonization equipment will be. The offensive and defensive capabilities of the melee warrior are all unmatched by the beastmaster. In particular, among the melee warriors, there are special melee warriors with special assault and defensive attributes, just like the angels and demons among the beastmasters. They are even more amazing than before. The difference in the attributes of the two sides is equivalent to offsetting one of the beastmaster's summoned creatures. Do you have any objections?"
Barbara nodded slightly and said, "That makes some sense, and I'm afraid there's more to it."
Bai Lan snorted, looked him over, and said, "Well, even if we kill one, the beastmaster still has four summoned creatures. How can a melee warrior have any more advantages than before?"
The white-bearded old man laughed and said, "Melee warriors can also use the contract spell to get a magic beast mount. This kind of magic beast that can be used as both a mount and a helper is definitely not weaker than a summoned creature. The beastmaster does not have this ability to use the contract spell to summon such a mount. In this way, one more summoned creature can be offset."
Bai Lan's eyes lit up: "Mounting a magical beast? This is really cool."
The white-bearded old man glanced at Fern's desperate expression and said with a smile, "Of course, except for the beastmaster, the other four professions can use the contract technique to sign a contract with a magical beast."
Fern's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his cheeks.
The girl snorted and said, "Why doesn't the beastmaster have a mount? This is too unfair."
The white-bearded old man looked at her with a little pity and said, "You are so stupid, little girl. You can ride your own summoned creatures. Of course, the prerequisite is that your summoned creatures must be able to bear your weight, haha."
Jella cheered, then thought about it and felt a little reluctant to let herself ride on her own Angewomon, and she was in a dilemma.
Bai Lan shouted, "Don't bother talking about it, you old immortal. Even if it's like this, the beastmaster has only lost two summoned creatures. There are still three left."
The white-bearded old man said, "There is also the difference in the props of the two sides. The weapons that beastmasters can use, such as two-handed weapons such as spears and sticks, are much less offensive than the weapons of melee warriors registered with the same registration, such as axes, halberds, hooks and forks. Moreover, melee warriors can even be equipped with two weapons, and the offensive power can be superimposed. Can you imagine how terrible this destructive power is?"
Even if you are too lazy to equip two weapons, you can still get a shield and a lot of defense. All of these are beyond the reach of a beastmaster. This immediately widens the gap, and it is not even possible to kill a summoned creature. Moreover, the biggest difference is the skills of the two parties. The skills of the beastmaster are few and weak in destructive power, while the skills that a melee warrior can learn are much more numerous and extremely powerful. This gap can offset the difference of a summoned creature. "
The total number of equipment that can be upgraded by the beastmaster and melee warrior is 20. The beastmaster carries five more summoned creatures, which means that your other professions have five less items, which is another difference. Finally, it is impossible for a beastmaster to have five very powerful summoned creatures. Therefore, if a beastmaster and a melee warrior fight alone, the melee warrior is much more likely to win. An experienced melee warrior can even have enough strength to beat the beastmaster before the beastmaster's summoned creatures touch him."
Barbara was a little displeased. What the old guy said was that the Beastmaster was basically a waste, a social scum in attributes, a social scum in weapons, and a social scum in skills. The summoned creatures were difficult to cultivate, and even though he had spent a lot of effort to cultivate them, the summoned creatures were not yet useful, and the Beastmaster himself was killed in seconds.
The old man chuckled and said, "Of course, every profession has strengths and weaknesses. There is no most powerful profession, only the most powerful people. For example, among humans, the Supreme 'Nine Bright Kings' also possesses all five professions. Even the Taoist profession, which has the least offensive power, is a powerful person. Generally, he can easily kill masters of the other four professions, or long-range archers. Their abnormal speed of action and ultra-long-range attack are definitely something that other professions can never catch up with in their eight lifetimes."
When Fern heard this, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she nodded slowly.
When Barbara heard this, she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your teachings, senior. We have learned a lot."
The young woman Bai Lan couldn't help but ask curiously, "You old immortal, what is this Nine Bright King Supreme you are talking about? Or is this some kind of immortal from the mountain valley?"
The white-bearded old man glanced at her and suddenly said seriously, "Without them, where would you come from? It is thanks to them that humans can still exist in this universe."
"Humph, you are so young, yet you are so outspoken. If it were my old temper, I would have wiped you out right here."
Young woman Bai Lan rolled her eyes in anger. Before she could speak, Barbara called out, "Old Senior, is there anything else we need to pay attention to? For example, after we get to the Nantian City you mentioned, what should we do? Will we have a greater chance of winning than before?"
The old man stroked his beard and sighed, saying, "According to the previous situation, we can know the final outcome in basically one year. Human beings, the chance of success is really too slim. I just hope that your luck will be better this time. When you arrive at Nantian City, remember to wander around first. Getting familiar with the environment here early is also the key to success. Moreover, in this world, money plays a very important role. You need money to do anything. Hehe, first of all, try your best to make money."
Barbara just remembered the five gold coins she had received as a reward, and was stunned and asked, "Making money? How? What are the things that require money?"
