Chapter 2000: Yue Shuangshuang’s Family Conditions
Yue Shuangshuang’s parents were ordinary people, so Yue Shuangshuang was lucky to be a summoner. Unfortunately, she had little natural talent.
Generally, powerful summoners had other powerful summoners in their bloodline. Commoners could also become summoners, but generally speaking, they would not be as powerful.
Once one became a summoner, one became highly respected.
This world was extremely dangerous. There were powerful monsters with thick skin and flesh in the vast and boundless mountains. Only summoners could deal with these monsters.
Summoners who could summon powerful beasts.
Yue Shuangshuang’s family conditions were average. Her father was a craftsman, her mother took care of the family’s affairs, and she had a younger brother who was about five years old.
Ning Shu opened the door and saw that Yue Shuangshuang’s mother was mending clothes. The room’s lighting was a little dim. To mend, Yue Shuangshuang’s mother had to lower her head to the point that her eyes were almost touching the clothes.
Yue Shuangshuang’s family’s conditions weren’t good. On the other hand, Lian Bingmeng was the young lady of the Lian family. Although the Lian family was a bit poor at the moment, they were still considered nobility.
There was truth to the proverb that poverty stunts ambition.
“Big Sister,” sounded a soft, childish voice. A child ran towards Ning Shu. Ning Shu squatted down, picked up Little Bean, and asked, “Was Little Bean obedient today at home?”
“Little Bean was very obedient. Little Bean will also become a great summoner like Big Sister!” Little Bean raised his fist and shouted.
“Ambitious,” Ning Shu said with a smile.
Yue Shuangshuang was now the pride of the Yue family. Now that she’d become a summoner, she was respected and could now marry into a good family.
Summoners were more willing to marry other summoners. This way, their children had a greater chance of also becoming a summoner.
“You’re back.” Mother Yue put down the clothes and rubbed her tired eyes. “I’ll go cook something. Your father will be back soon.”
“Okay.” Ning Shu put down Little Bean and took out the silver coin from her pocket. “Mother, this is from the welfare union. You keep it.”
Mother Yue accepted the silver coin and didn’t forget to tell Ning Shu, “Train well.”
“Big Sister, can you let Little Grass out?” Little Bean tugged at the hem of Ning Shu’s clothes.
Little Grass?
Ning Shu froze for a moment, only to remember that Yue Shuangshuang’s summoned beast was a blade of grass.
Ning Shu searched Yue Shuangshuang’s memory to see how to summon the beast.
She then closed her eyes and willed her mind to summon the beast from the summoning space.
A small blade of grass that swayed to the wind appeared on the table. Little Grass only had three long leaves and was very ordinary. This kind of grass could be found anywhere; mountains and fields were covered with it.
Ning Shu: …
Such a weak summoned beast.
Ning Shu wiped her face. No wonder she was called a garbage summoner.
There were two types of summoned beasts, animal types and plant types. There was a saying that there was no such thing as a garbage summoned beast, only a garbage summoner. However, animal types were more respected. Animal types had great power to kill and wound. On top of that, they had consciousnesses too. They could cooperate with their master to operate together.
Some plants such as man-eating flowers and thorns were also powerful, but most plants were considered to be trash.
Weak plants didn’t even have consciousnesses of their own and had absolutely no way of communicating with their owners.
However, the resources used for cultivating plant types were more cost-effective than those for cultivating animal types.
In any case, other than the most powerful, the majority of plant-type beasts were pretty much useless.
For example, the Little Grass in front of Ning Shu. It really was just an ordinary blade of grass.
Yue Shuangshuang was fortunate to become a summoner and successfully summon a beast, However, she was also unfortunate since her summoned beast was so useless.
Little Bean gently patted Little Grass and said to Ning Shu, “Big Sister will definitely become a powerful summoner!”
“Yes.” Ning Shu touched Little Bean’s head. “Big Sister will definitely become stronger.”

?Chapter 2001: I Want to Become a Summoner
Soon after Mother Yue finished cooking the meal, Yue Shuangshuang’s father got home. There was some sawdust on his body and head and he looked very tired. From behind him, he took out a wooden pegasus carving.
The pegasus carving was very lifelike and the surface was polished very smoothly. It could be seen that the person who carved it had put a lot of thought into it.
“Father!” Little Bean immediately happily leaped forward and snatched the wooden pegasus from Yue Xing’s hand.
“Father, what summoned beast is this?” Little Bean asked. Yue Xing patted off the sawdust on his head as he said, “This is a holy horse beast, a holy beast.”
“Wow! It’s a holy beast!” Little Bean fondled the wood carving, looking at it in admiration.
Ning Shu put away Little Grass, fetched a basin of water to put on the table, and said, “Father, wash your hands.”
“Okay.” There was a smile on Yue Xing’s face as he washed his face with a handkerchief.
“Big Sister, I want to become a summoner. I hope my summoned beast can have wings and fly in the sky.” Little Bean raised his head and said this to Ning Shu while hugging the woodcarving tightly.
“My little brother will definitely become a very powerful summoner.” Ning Shu smiled and patted Little Bean on the head.
In a world where the strong were the most respected, everyone hoped to become one of the strong.
Mother Yue put all the food on the table. The food was not very rich and was just some steamed potatoes mixed with some vegetables. However, it was quite filling.
After finishing lunch, Ning Shu went to her room to practice the Unsurpassable Martial Arts.
In this dangerous world, one must have the ability to protect themselves. Since Ning Shu couldn’t count on her summoned beast, she could only strengthen herself.
Many of the people who couldn’t become summoners would choose to strengthen their bodies.
Ning Shu trained for a while and bursts of spiritual energy entered her body. The spiritual energy in this world was very abundant.
It washed over her body and felt extremely good.
The spiritual energy around her was so abundant, Ning Shu thought about it and wanted to summon Little Grass so that it could absorb some of it.
The biggest drawback of plants was their shallow consciousnesses. They weren’t as intelligent as animals.
A powerful summoned beast could transform into a human form. There have been a few people in history who managed to summon beasts that had human forms from the start. That was serious power
Little Grass stood next to Ning Shu, its three long leaves swaying slightly.
Ning Shu had cultivated so much that she had already formed a strand of energy in her dantian.
It felt so good to cultivate in a world with plenty of spiritual energy.
It wasn’t until Mother Yue knocked on Ning Shu’s door and told her to quickly go to the academy that Ning Shu stopped practicing and went to find a small flower pot to plant Little Grass in.
Then she went to school with the small flowerpot.
Little Grass had always been a shiny green and had never shown a single sign of withering.
According to the instructor of the academy, the origin of these summoned beasts was that they were summoned from another time and space. Then, a contract was signed between the owner and the beast.
At the same time, the summoned beast would also choose their owner. For the summoner, as long as their consciousness was able to touch the beast, they had a chance of summoning it.
Yue Shuangshuang’s spiritual consciousness was not strong.
While passing by the shop, Ning Shu decided to go and take a look around. She saw that monster crystals were extremely expensive. A single one was worth thousands of gold coins. Ning Shu almost choked on her spit.
The monster crystal came from the monster’s body and was the source of its power.
Ning Shu had been planning to buy some wood-based monster crystals for Little Grass. Seeing the price tag made her abandon the thought instantly. She couldn’t help but feel that it was such a waste to give such an expensive thing to a blade of grass.
The strength of a summoner was measured by the strength of his or her summoned beast.
Ning Shu decided to first train a little more. Once she had greater self-protection ability, she would go to the mountains to get a monster crystal.
The reason monster crystals were so expensive was because they couldn’t be taken from every monster. First-level monsters did not have monster crystals at all.
