"Always feels like some revolutionary organization is about to start falling apart from the top..." Guan Liyuan helplessly watched this scene.

"Liyuan! You're spacing out again, aren't you? We're looking for useful information for you, so pay attention!" Wei Yingying stood in front of Guan Liyuan, hands on her hips, looking angry.

At this moment, the three of them were in a place that looked like a library, and Guan Liyuan was "talking to himself" while looking at a book, which caught Wei Yingying's attention...

Guan Liyuan's habit of spacing out was well-known to Wei Yingying and Zhongli Qiu, who had known him for four months.

"Yingying, I'm not being lazy... I recognize every word in these books, but I don't understand what they mean when put together! And what's this 'index method' and 'highlighting method'? I've never heard of them..." Guan Liyuan said innocently.

Indeed, Guan Liyuan and the other two were in the Zhongli family's archive, looking up information about "interdimensional summoners" and "bone elementals."

After Zhongli Hou returned, Zhongli Qiu asked her father about these two rare professions. Zhongli Hou only knew that these professions were "troublesome," which was why people didn't pay much attention to Guan Liyuan's dual profession. As for other aspects, Zhongli Hou didn't know much and just told them to look it up in the archive...

As for why Guan Liyuan's dual profession was troublesome, Zhongli Hou had already given the answer.

"Interdimensional summoners," compared to other "summoner" professions, can only summon "projections" of creatures from the "other dimension" to fight...

This summoning is the root ability represented by the "interdimensional summoner" profession rune, and cannot be changed!

This means that when Guan Liyuan makes a contract with an interdimensional creature, the randomness is too high, like a lottery. He cannot choose good magical beasts or even abyssal creatures to make contracts, as other "summoner" professionals can.

At the same time, the summoned creatures of "interdimensional summoners" are projections and cannot exist permanently. They continuously consume the summoner's mental energy during the summoning period...

Most importantly, like other summoners, "interdimensional summoners" have a skill in the three skill categories that is "potential development." However, using this skill on projections is very ineffective!

Similarly, methods to enhance summoned creatures are also difficult to apply to projections, meaning that "interdimensional summoners" have a hard time cultivating their summoned creatures...

"Interdimensional summoners" are therefore very awkward and can only re-contract interdimensional creatures each time they advance in rank...

Unless they have extremely good luck and contract with a very strong interdimensional creature, they are generally weaker than other professionals of the same rank, forming a stark contrast with other "summoner" professionals!

Most "summoner" professions are relatively strong at the same rank.

As for why "bone elementals" are troublesome, it's simpler: they are rare.

"Bone elementals" are very rare, so there is no specific cultivation system, meaning there is no experience to draw from.

Actually, "cloud elementals" are also rare, but no one considers this a problem because Wei Yingying's father and uncle are both rare "cloud elementals" and naturally teach her.

"Ah! I found information related to 'bone elementals,' come and take a look!" Zhongli Qiu shouted.

Guan Liyuan and Wei Yingying quickly went over...

Wei Yingying looked at the information Zhongli Qiu pointed to and said, "Let me see... Bone elementals, in the unenlightened old era, were categorized as a type of 'necromancy' or 'black magic.' After the third revision of professional categories, they were classified under the 'elemental' category. They are a rare elemental type, and their root runes are very close to those of 'bone warriors' in the same system..."

"The same system... It would be better if you were a 'bone warrior'!" Zhongli Qiu said with some regret.

"Bone warriors are also a rare profession, right? Do you know any powerful 'bone warriors'?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.

Zhongli Qiu shook her head, "No, but the abilities of the same system are easier to master. At least in the early stages, even if you figure it out on your own, it's relatively easy."

Guan Liyuan thought about it and understood. "Awakened professionals" seem convenient after awakening, with skills that come naturally, but in reality, due to their own abilities, even professionals with the same skills can have vastly different strengths!

It's like the difference between "someone else's Teemo" and "my Teemo"...

Continuing with the LoL analogy, the "same system" is like the three friends in the bush. While it's hard to master, it's easy to get started, and even new players can have good results. The "elemental system" is like a technical hero with all non-targeted skills, requiring more thought and prediction. New players will likely be "four empty" and "carry the water" throughout the game...

Guan Liyuan and Wei Yingying are both "elemental system" professionals, but the difference is that Wei Yingying has strategies to refer to and videos to learn from, while Guan Liyuan has a forum with a built-in "strategy section," but the members come from different universes with different rules and laws.

The so-called "strategy discussion section" discusses high-level issues, as even with different rules, at a certain height, one can view problems more fundamentally. However, in terms of basic abilities, there is little value in drawing from them!

"Wait, there's a record of 'bone elementals' here! Two hundred years ago, a 'bone elemental' gained the 'bone spear' skill after advancing to a higher rank. It's said to be the strongest piercing elemental attack skill among high-rankers! Liyuan, you should aim for the 'bone spear' in the future!" Zhongli Qiu said.

Wei Yingying couldn't help but say, "It's not that easy. Just knowing the name of a skill, how can you work towards it? Even for common elementals like earth, water, fire, and wind, with complete cultivation systems and a lot of experience from predecessors, it's hard to ensure you get the desired skills..."

"What should we do? Is Liyuan going to have problems with the graduation exam next year? I want to team up with Yingying and Liyuan!" Zhongli Qiu said dejectedly.

Guan Liyuan, with a cute expression, asked, "But... haven't we already graduated?"

Zhongli Qiu and Wei Yingying looked at each other and sighed simultaneously...

"We can only start from scratch... No! I think starting with 'getting beaten up' might be better!" Wei Yingying suddenly said.

Guan Liyuan saw a "malicious" look in Wei Yingying's eyes for the first time...
