Chapter 25: A Transformation · Beast Tamer

In my memory, Tianqi's first survival mission seemed to be finding a safe zone. I opened the task interface casually, and sure enough—This week's survival mission: Find the Safe Zone (Nightmare diffic...From the moment he received the "God-Tier Enhancement" talent at the start of the game, Zhang Yi had an idea: This life, he would take a more unique path and play the profession that was despised by countless players in his previous life, known as the "Heavenly Revelation" world's most trashy, without a doubt - Beastmaster!

In the Tianqi world, players' professions are divided into seven categories: warriors, assassins, knights, mages, archers, priests, and beast tamers.

Anyone who has played the game knows what characteristics each profession has. The only one that stands out is the Beastmaster.

Because the profession of Beastmaster is rather unique, they can summon beasts to fight for them. The summoned beasts are not limited in type; they can summon thick-skinned and tough tank beasts to absorb damage at the front, summon powerful mage beasts to deal damage alongside them, summon healer beasts to heal themselves or their teammates, and even high-level Beastmasters in the late game can, with their own power, assemble a team with healers, tanks, and DPS.

On the surface, doesn't this profession seem incredibly powerful It's almost as if possessing this profession grants you access to all professions in the world of Tianqi

Yes, the previous life was because Tianqi's official description of the Beastmaster profession ("perfect" deception) led countless players into the pit. Only later did they realize that the Beastmaster profession was more than just a pit; it was a god-forsaken pit, trapping those who chose this profession so badly that they would wake up in the middle of the night, get out of bed and sit there crying.

Because Beastmaster differs from traditional summoners, the summoned beasts of a Beastmaster possess an independent cultivation system, which is unrelated to the Beastmaster's own attribute strength or weakness.

That is to say, no matter what kind of beast you cultivate, from the moment you begin cultivating it, you have to give half of your own resources to it. Just like players, it needs to wear equipment, learn skills through skill books, and leveling up consumes the player's experience. It's as if you use one account's resources to play two characters at the same time.

In terms of gear enhancement and skills, it's already a huge sinkhole. Many players later couldn't even afford to raise their own characters, let alone the resources to raise beasts. Unless you have a mine at home.

While Beastmasters are similar to mages, their own attribute growth is the lowest among the seven professions to balance this role. Their skill damage is also extremely low, nowhere near that of a true magic powerhouse.

So, in their previous lives, players who chose the Beastmaster profession found that while it was a dead end, they couldn't change anything. They considered giving up summoning beasts altogether and playing the profession like a mage, but even that wouldn't work because Beastmasters developed too slowly.

This led to the profession of beast tamers being increasingly eliminated, becoming an object that countless players rejected. No major teams would accept beast tamer players, and no one was willing to team up with them. All that awaited beast tamers was extinction.

Later on, in a group of 100 players, it wouldn't be unusual to see just one beastmaster.

Of course, this profession itself is a very strong one. As long as the resources keep up, the powerful monsters raised by Beastmasters are definitely no weaker than the strength of a single player!

In the last life, the surviving Beast Tamers were all quite powerful. A random summoned beast could crush the top-ranking players on the city leaderboard!

Knowing that this profession was a bottomless pit, Zhang Yi chose it because the 【God-level Enhancement】 could compensate for the shortcomings of equipment enhancement. Zhang Yi had enough resources to cultivate himself and his summoned beast.

Because beast tamers use magic staffs as weapons, Zhang Yi requested Il to help him craft a staff.

Ilr readily agreed: "Warrior, in consideration of all the wolf pelts you've gathered for me, I promise to do my utmost to craft an extraordinary magic staff for you!"

After a moment's pause, Il continued, "However, forging weapons takes time, especially the better ones require even longer. Come around six in the evening to pick it up."

Zhang Yi nodded. "Good, I'll trouble Master Er then."

After consecutively submitting the task "Gather Wolfskin" 10 times, Zhang Yi accumulated 20,000 experience points, allowing him to successfully level up to level 10. His experience bar was now full. Before transferring jobs, a player's level cannot exceed 10.

Thus, after bidding farewell to NPC Er, Zhang Yi arrived at the Master's Hall located in the center of Hope Town.

As the first player to enter the Master Hall, Zhang Yi attracted envious glances from many other players passing by the entrance.

Player A: "Damn, isn't the Master Hall only accessible at level 10 How did this guy get to level 10 so fast"

Player B: "Stop talking, let's hurry up and level up! I heard that players who rank in the top 100 and transfer jobs in each safe zone get rewards!"

Player C: "Seriously Then what are we waiting for, let's go out and grind monsters!"

In the Grand Master Hall, seven masters in diverse attire stood within, awaiting Zhang Yi's entrance. Each issued an invitation as he stepped into the hall -

In golden armor, wielding a long sword, the burly warrior master said: "Young man, join our Warrior profession! You'll have a body like mine and won't lack admirers swarming around you!"

Wearing a white robe, a gentle-looking but passionate magic teacher: "Learn powerful magic behind me, there's no enemy that a strong blizzard can't kill. If there is, then two!"

Before the seven masters could finish their introductions, Zhang Yi walked straight up to the Beastmaster Master and said, "Master, I want to become a Beastmaster."

The remaining six instructors all cast him astonished glances, for Zhang Yi hadn't even spared them a glance.

The selected Beastmaster instructor nodded: "Good, I bestow upon you the qualification to become a Beastmaster."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Beastmaster instructor reached out and waved his hand in front of Zhang Yi's face. A beam of golden light poured down onto Zhang Yi's head —

"Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining the profession: Beastmaster!"

"Congratulations! You are Player #886, the first to successfully transfer jobs in Safe Zone 1. The system will issue a regional announcement. Please choose to reveal or conceal your ID"

This time, Zhang Yi chose to go public without any hesitation.

Area 886 Security Zone Announcement: “Ding~ Congratulations to player [Yī Nuò Qīngchéng] for successfully transferring their profession to the Beast Master, As the first player in Area 886 to complete the transfer, they receive a reward: Human race reputation 1200, Gold coins 1!”d throughout.Besides, one could see many beetle-like creatures with six legs and black bodies crawling on the corpses, gnawing at them with a chilling crunching sound.These large insects are exactly w...
