Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

In the [Summoned Items] panel, the first slot is occupied by the Skeleton Soldier Adai, while the second slot is empty.

This means that Roya is able to contract a second monster.

If he could contract a monster of the Black Iron rank and let it level up in the dungeon, he would have an extra help and a better chance of clearing the dungeon.

Inland on White Sand Island lies a primeval jungle, inhabited by many wild beasts and monsters, including mutated magical beasts.

That morning, Roya changed into light and durable hunting clothes, with a short-barreled musket and a fine steel longsword at his waist, and carried a backpack containing food and water, looking like he was about to go on an adventure.

"Roya, are you going out?"

Sophia noticed his hunting attire and came out to ask him something.

After spending this time together, the two have grown much closer.

Just a few days ago, Roya formally invited her to board the ship to serve as a doctor and navigator, but Sophia declined.

"Yes, I'm going to the jungle to find a suitable magical beast to form a contract with," Roya replied truthfully.

He discovered that in this era, hiding one's strength was of little use; on the contrary, showcasing one's potential and abilities was the key to gaining more favor and recruiting a sufficient number of excellent subordinates.

Most sailors admire strength; following a powerful captain means surviving longer and earning more.

Upon hearing this, Sophia pondered for a moment before giving a serious suggestion: "You should go into the mountains tomorrow. A thunderstorm is coming to the island soon, which will stir up the magical flow on the sea, making it easier for mutated magical beasts to be born."

Luo Ya looked up at the sky. The sky was clear and cloudless, not at all like a thunderstorm was about to break out.

But he was a man who listened to advice, and his limited nautical knowledge was as vast as the difference between a recruit and a general compared to Sophia's.

After cancelling his trip, Luo Ya returned indoors and brewed a pot of hot tea, a specialty from a merchant ship in the Far East, which was scarce and expensive.

Even loose, coarse tea costs eight silver coins per ounce.

A skilled sailor's daily wage is only 1 to 2 silver coins.

Luo Ya took out a book called "A Detailed Explanation of Professionals" and started reading it. He had borrowed it from Sophia.

Unlike him, who became a professional halfway through his career but lacked practical skills, Sophia was literate from a young age and enjoyed collecting books as she grew up.

On the second floor of her clinic, there is a study filled with books.

She purchased those books through maritime merchants and intelligence bird organizations.

Through this book, Luo Ya learned that there are many different paths to extraordinary achievements in this world.

In this world, there are professionals who master extraordinary powers through the practice of breathing techniques and meditation. These include knights, wizards, sorcerers, and druids.

This path of cultivation is now controlled by the powerful and wealthy, and is therefore also known as the traditional extraordinary.

Next are the potion users. Compared to traditional superhumans, potion users are much simpler and easier. They just need to take the potions in order and pass the trials to gain superhuman power.

However, this approach of simply using abilities without understanding their origins has always been looked down upon by traditional superhumans, who privately describe it as: a mortal imitating a traditional superhuman.

There are two ways to obtain potions. The first is to explore ancient ruins and the five seas, the two most dangerous of which are the Misty Sea and the Endless Sea.

Some ordinary potions can be transformed into magical potions when exposed to magical tides.

The second type is research and development. Over the years, through the tireless research of extraordinary individuals, it has become nearly mature, resulting in hundreds of magic potion formulas and a wide variety of extraordinary professions.

Potion users broke the monopoly of the powerful on supernatural powers, threatening their status, which is why they are so unpopular.

The third extraordinary path is through becoming a Beast Tamer or Sea Monster Tamer, also known as a lucky person, who, by chance, contracts with a young Beast or Sea Monster.

As one side's strength increases, the other side will also improve.

Those who make contracts with multiple magical beasts or sea monsters can become powerful figures at sea, as long as they do not perish.

Roya's Summoner Apprentice is a variant of the Beastmaster.

The fourth path to transcendence is through divine favor. This world has gods, and as long as one receives divine blessings, one can unleash powerful supernatural abilities. Representative professions include: priest and paladin.

The fifth path to superhuman abilities is through human modification, which involves obtaining superhuman power through alchemical tools, limb transplants, and live body modification. However, this is often described by the powerful as "superhuman cannon fodder with limited potential."

The last extraordinary path is called the Artifact Master. Artifacts are a category of maritime treasures that unconsciously release magical power. When the owner of an artifact controls it, they will be influenced by its power and gradually gain extraordinary abilities.

Combining various exotic items can grant a variety of abilities, unleashing unimaginable combined power.

The book's author, the legendary wizard Antonio, held the profession of artifact maker in high regard: artifact makers would become the cornerstone of surpassing traditional supernatural beings.

……

While reading, Roya fell asleep again.

In the afternoon, the once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and after a clap of thunder, a strong wind and torrential rain swept in.

Pedestrians on the street avoided the area, shops closed one after another, and merchants would take out wooden boards and nails to reinforce the doors and windows.

Roya was awakened by the thunder. He took out his silver-decorated, finely crafted pocket watch, which he had bought for eight gold coins, and checked the time: two o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking out the window, dark clouds loomed overhead, and thunderstorms raged, like a symphony of doomsday.

There really was a thunderstorm.

Luo Ya's desire to abduct Sophia intensified.

The thunderstorm lasted all night.

The rain stopped and the sky cleared at dawn the next day.

However, the heavy rain flooded the roads, turning many places into potholes and mud pits.

Roya changed into waterproof clothes, greeted Sophia, and, along with the skeleton soldier Ah-Dai in black robes, left the town along the main road.

The sounds of birds could be heard, and occasionally some wild animals could be seen coming out to hunt.

Last night there was a thunderstorm, and these wild animals hid in their dens and didn't come out. Now that the storm has passed, they will naturally come out to forage for food.

Roya followed the mountain path into the forest. The skeleton soldier Adai was clearing the way, and the large wild beasts wisely stayed away.

Arriving at a cliff, gazing at the endless mountains and forests before him, his eyes glazed over, unsure which way to go.

I should have been more shameless and invited Sophia to come along.

Luo Ya realized this somewhat belatedly.

Just then, the skeleton soldier Ah-Dai seemed to sense something and immediately stepped forward.

Seeing this, Luo Ya quickly followed.

The potion Sophia took was called "Doctor's Apprentice," which, in addition to increasing her talent for learning medical knowledge, also gave her a unique supernatural ability called "Physical Examination."

This ability can detect the six-dimensional attributes of friendly units.

The extraordinary six dimensions are the six attributes of strength, physique, agility, intelligence, perception, and charisma.

To get closer to Sophia, Luo Ya had her undergo a medical check-up, and Adai also had one.

Roya's intelligence and charm are excellent, while his other attributes are average.

Ah-Dai excels in strength, speed, and perception, but his physique and intelligence are average, and his charm is a weakness.
