Chapter 5

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The probability of an F-grade was 99%, and the rest of the grades, C, D, and E only added up to 1%.

Not only did Li Pu manage to get this 1%, but he also got the highest-level C among the remaining grades. He had to admit that his luck was a little off the charts.

However, when he looked at the interface again, he couldn’t help but complain.

“Just by looking at its name, I can tell that it’s not very proper.”

[Lvl 1 Fatherly Love (C): After activation, attacks will be converted into healing.]

Based on the information, the general meaning was that as long as this skill was activated, any attack from him would have a healing effect.

“Although the method is a little strange, this is exactly what a proper stay-at-home dad will do…”

To be honest, this was a skill that Li Pu had never thought of.

The key was that the treatment method was quite special.

This skill was ineffective against him, which meant that in the future, his main target for these attacks, no, healing, would be Scarecrow.

Just thinking about the scene made him feel weird.

If he punched and kicked a dying straw doll, people who didn’t know about the skill would probably think that he was abusing his summoned beast.

Moreover, his grandfather often beat him up, and now, he would have to beat up Scarecrow.

He had a feeling that he was about to live a life that he hated.

“Forget it. It’s a C-grade skill after all. It’s still worth it.”

Li Pu, who had just become a Summoner, didn’t really understand the concept of skill grades, but logically speaking, a C-grade skill should be one of the better ones.

In fact, having a healing method might give him some advantages in some situations.

Although the summoned beasts would not really die after the contract was established, the summoners still had to use a resurrection talisman to summon their beasts back.

As the strength of the summoned beast increased, the corresponding resurrection talisman would also become more and more expensive.

With a healing skill, the chances of using a resurrection talisman would be greatly reduced.

“Shouldn’t I test the effect first?”

Obtaining a summoner skill was a new experience for Li Pu. Naturally, he wanted to find a target to practice on.

Didn’t people in ancient times use scarecrows as targets? It was just right.

However, when he looked up, he realized that the straw doll that was beside him had already left.

At this moment, it was standing in front of a beverage vending machine, looking deeply attracted.

It pitifully leaned against the glass window of the vending machine, staring at the dazzling variety of drinks.

“Could it be that because you’re made of grass, you’re interested in drinks?”

Li Pu touched his chin and muttered to himself.

[Grass!]

Then, he saw the straw doll take a step back and tilt its head as if it was thinking.

Then, it looked around and picked up a stone on the ground.

“Wait,”

Li Pu was shocked and quickly stood up to stop it.

If the vending machine was destroyed, he, as a Summoner, would have to pay for the damages.

[Grass?]

The straw doll that was stopped was a little puzzled. It pointed to its black mouth that was opened into a vertical oval and then pointed to the drinks in the vending machine.

[Scarecrow: I want to drink.]

A telepathic thought was sent into Li Pu’s mind.

“I understand, I understand.”

He shook his head helplessly.

He reached into his pocket and found a few coins.

Scarecrow had just been summoned and was like a piece of white paper in many aspects.

Hence, Li Pu decided to use this opportunity to educate him.

“In any case, you can’t do this. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to cause any destruction.”

“Also, if you want to drink something, you have to pay.”

“This is the rule, do you understand?”

“This is money.”

As he spoke, he picked up a coin and waved it.

[Grass!]

The straw doll didn’t really understand, but it still nodded its head.

Then, it pointed at the vending machine again and urged Li Pu.

[Scarecrow: Summoner, hurry up.]

“Alright, pick whatever you want to drink.”

After Li Pu inserted the coin, he guided the straw doll to do it by itself.

[Grass?]

Scarecrow looked up and down, left and right, at the machine window, before finally choosing Coke.

Roll roll roll …

As it pressed the button, a bottle of Coke fell out of the exit.

“Drink up, drink up.”

Li Pu helped it twist the bottle cap open under its gaze.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow took the drink happily, raised its head, and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.

[Grass~]

[Scarecrow: It’s good, I want more~]

“Drink as much as you want. It’s my treat today.”

Li Pu asked the straw doll to throw the empty can into the trash can and took out all the coins.

This time, he didn’t need to guide it anymore. The experienced straw doll chose another drink and twisted the cap open.

[Gulp gulp…]

However, its stomach was like a bottomless pit. Even after drinking a few more bottles, it was still not satisfied.

In comparison, these drinks didn’t taste as good as the original Coke.

[Burp…Grass!!]

It hiccuped and looked at Li Pu with puppy eyes.

“I’m out of money.”

Li Pu, who didn’t expect the other party to be such a big drinker, spread his hands helplessly.

This guy wouldn’t drink until he became poor in the future, right?

Moreover, was it really okay to drink so much fat soft drinks at once?

[Grass!]

The straw doll put its hands together and begged.

Even though he could sense Scarecrow’s desire, he didn’t have any more coins.

However, Li Pu immediately thought of an idea.

“Oh yeah.”

Sometimes, some people would accidentally roll a coin under the vending machine.

So, he bent down.

Thud…

The vending machine that weighed a few hundred kilograms was lifted to the side.

With the bloodline of a summoned beast and years of demonic training, even if he didn’t become a Summoner, his physical strength was already beyond ordinary people.

“Hurry up, see if there’s any money.”

He sounded relaxed, but Li Pu couldn’t hold on for long.

What he didn’t see was that Scarecrow’s eyes were practically glowing.

It was not because the summoner was strong, but because there was really stock under the vending machine.

[Grass! Grass! Grass!]

[Scarecrow: so much money!]

It quickly lay down and swept the bottom of the machine clean. Its movements were so swift that it didn’t look like grass.

Bang! Bang!

Li Pu put down the machine after Scarecrow was done.

Looking at the small pile of coins in its hand, he felt very gratified.

“You’re already a mature grass. You should learn how to earn your own money in the future.”

[Grass!]

[Scarecrow: I want to continue drinking~]

However, the straw doll did not seem to be listening to him.

“…”

Li Pu felt a little helpless.

However, what happened next made him even more speechless.

This straw doll didn’t seem to be as stupid as it looked.

He had only said it casually just now, but it had actually remembered his words in its heart.

After spending all the coins again, it started to think about the stone bench by the roadside.

However, the bottom of the stone bench was very tight, so it was impossible for a coin to be left behind. Moreover, with the straw doll’s current strength, it was impossible for it to lift it.

So, Scarecrow wanted to go through the trash can again.

Of course, Li Pu immediately stopped him and took the chance to educate him.

Seeing that it was getting late and the straw doll was begging him, he quickly found a place to exchange some coins.

Then, he bought a pile of Coke and left in a hurry with the straw doll.

Unlike the new students who had completed their summoning earlier, Li Pu still had to go to the Academic Affairs Office to complete some admission procedures before he could move into the academy dormitory officially.

If he walked a few steps faster now, he might be able to make it in time.
