Novel Bin Chapter 56: Lily
With the summoning skill, he can only form a total of ten contracts, but he can also dissolve them and form a new one with another monster.
After getting contracted, he can also control their attributes, but he needs to make sure that his summoning skill level can do this; if it\'s low, he wouldn\'t be able to do it.
The summon can also be sent back to their worlds where they came from. Their world is more like a monster space from a game, where they will recover their MP and HP at a faster rate.
It\'s also much safer to stay there because of a non-killing rule in their world, but it also stops them from leveling up.
That\'s why they accept the summons of others and form a contract.
They can also choose to leave that world, but they don\'t do it as they are more comfortable there.
Li Wei nodded to himself and felt gazes behind him. He turned and saw all the girls looking at him, wanting to see what kind of monster he would summon.
"It seems they are all excited about it. After all, it isn\'t a normal occurrence to see a monster getting summoned," he murmured softly with a smile and focused ahead to use the skill.
With a swift movement, he aimed his hand in front of him.
"Summon," he chanted and transferred the 1500 MP into the skill.
*Shing!*
With a white flash, a small magic circle appeared.
The white flash stayed for a while and didn\'t disappear immediately.
"Hmm, looks like it will be a small monster, but I hope it\'s rare," he murmured, not caring too much.
Soon, the white flash retracted slowly, revealing the monster behind it.
What appeared was a cute little pink slime with the size of a cat that observed the surroundings with its somehow mysterious aura.
Li Wei became stunned looking at the slime.
"A slime, but what\'s with that mysterious aura," he murmured and didn\'t show disappointment too much.
After all, it isn\'t easy to summon the godly monster every time; if not, everyone would\'ve chosen the Mage-Sorcerer class.
Li Xin, Elva, Alice, and Olivia were also surprised when they saw him summon a cute slime.
"It is cute!!" Li Xin muttered as the slime turned around to observe, making it look cute.
Alice, Elva, and even Olivia nodded, agreeing with her.
Li Wei didn\'t care about their reactions and looked at the slime, wanting to scan with Analyze Eye, but suddenly a sweet voice of a young girl rang in his mind.
(Did you summon me, the great cute pink slime?) the slime used the telepathy skill to talk to him.
"You can talk?" Li Wei became surprised but not much after all; there are many skills that can allow a monster to talk.
(Of course, I can talk. After all, I am the great cute pink slime,) the pink slime stuck out its chest (body) as it proclaimed.
(Also, answer my question. Did you summon me?) the slime asked again with a sweet voice.
Li Wei felt puzzled by its question, but nevertheless, he answered, "Yeah, I summoned you," he replied.
(Okay, then I will reluctantly form a contract with you. Come, put your hands on my body,) the slime announced with a reluctant tone, as if it was forced to do this.
Li Wei became stunned after listening to it.
\'Is this slime an idiot? Does it even know what it\'s talking?\' he thought, and before he could say anything, he heard the sounds of footsteps behind him.
He looked back to see Li Xin, Alice, Elva, and Olivia approaching him with a weird expression on their faces.
\'Huh, what happened? Why are they looking at me with a weird expression?\' Li Wei thought, with a puzzled face as they all arrived beside him.
"Brother, you can talk with slime?" Li Xin asked with a curious look.
Hearing her, Li Wei understood the reasons for their weird looks at him.
\'No wonder they gave me those looks, probably because I am talking to myself,\' he muttered in his mind while answering her.
"Yes, I can talk to it, because it has a telepathy skill," he nodded, and scanned the slime with Analyze Eye.

"Huh, it\'s really a good guy, but what\'s with that mysterious aura skill? It\'s utterly useless," Li Wei exclaimed a little when he saw the mysterious aura skill.
The skill will emit a terrifying aura to make people scared of you. But on a pink slime, it kind of looked useless; moreover, the skill doesn\'t have any other uses beside it.
(What do you mean by it\'s useless? It\'s my family-inherited skill!! Don\'t insult it)," the slime roared with a sweet voice after hearing him.
Li Wei shook his head, hearing it.
"Why does your voice sound like a girl? Aren\'t slimes supposed to be genderless?" he asked the question that was bugging him.
Even though he has read the books, it was only a few, and he doesn\'t know much except heroes and sages.
The slime became more irritated after hearing him calling her genderless.
(I am not genderless; I am a female, a 100% female)," she screamed, wanting to prove her gender.
\'Hmm, is she really female?\' Li Wei murmured in his mind when he felt Elva\'s gaze and looked at her.
"Elva, you want to say something?" he asked softly after all he can\'t ignore them; they were party members.
Elva nodded and with hesitation opened her mouth.
"Umm, the slimes do have genders. It\'s a little complicated, but their cores define it. For males, it\'s a normal core, and for females, their core is big and has a gap; it\'s also flexible. When they reproduce..." she stopped not explaining further and looked away with a blush on her cheeks.
When she saw him doubting the gender of the slime, she decided to explain, but still, she felt shy; after all, the process was almost the same.
Li Wei saw her looking away, and even her ears blushed a little, but he didn\'t feel weird; because it\'s a monster.
"Ahem, well, thanks for the explanation, Elva," nevertheless, he thanked her after all she solved his mystery.
He then turned towards the pink slime that also looked at him well with its pink body, of course.
"Brother, you are going to form a contract, right?" Li Xin asked, her eyes shining as she looked at the cute slime.
Li Wei watched her reaction with a smile and nodded.
"Yes, I will form a contract with it. After all, it has good skills and even the teleportation skill," he replied as he ruffled her soft hair.
\'It would be good if I could learn its skills, not to mention it can also protect others if I leveled up its skills,\' he pondered, thinking about the eternal learning skill and protecting others.
Listening to his reply, Li Xin\'s eyes shined further as she enjoyed him ruffling her hair.
"That\'s great, Brother," she said happily, while Alice, Elva, and Olivia nodded, agreeing with her.
They all were taking the slime as a pet (squashy toy).
(Hey, why are those girls looking at me like that? I feel unsafe for some reason,) the slime voiced out after noticing their gazes.
"Why are you so afraid? They are all girls; it\'s not like they will eat you," Li Wei shook his head and crouched down in front of the slime that was the size of a cat.
Without hesitation, he put his hands on its body; he didn\'t feel weird because it\'s just a slime even though it\'s female.
"It\'s soft but it isn\'t slimy," he muttered feeling the sensation when once again the sweet voice of the slime rang.
(Of course, I am soft, and we don\'t get slimy as long as we don\'t want to,) the slime replied as it shook its body in irritation.
Li Wei shook his head at her and chanted "Contract."
*Humm!*
His hand that was on top of the slime suddenly shined softly, and a contract request was sent.
Summoning contract was provided by the summoning skill itself. It appears a little different, but it\'s the same as the party contract, however the monsters weren\'t counted as party members.
They will be called \'pet\' or \'familiar\' by people while \'summon\' by the system.
The slime also didn\'t hesitate and accepted the contract without hesitation after all it wanted to level up.
[Ding, Congratulations, you have successfully formed the summon contract with the pink slime.]
"It\'s done," Li Wei nodded after hearing the notification and checked its status from the summon panel.
\'It\'s nothing different, but its age is 20; that\'s a lot. Also, it didn\'t have AP or SP remaining,\' he thought, examining its character panel.
Noticing he was done with the contract, Li Xin and others approached him.
They all looked at the pink slime that seemed to be busy checking something too.
"Brother, does it have a name?" she inquired as she picked up the slime and caressed it slowly.
Li Wei shook his head at her inquiry.
"No, it doesn\'t have any in the status," he replied standing up and turned to the slime.
"Hey, you have been living for 20 years; why don\'t you have a name?" he asked with a doubt.
There are a lot of monsters inside the world where they came from, and they have a naming system just like other races, but the slime doesn\'t have any, he felt puzzled.
If it was just one year or two years old, it\'s normal not to have a name, as the monsters don\'t name their children until they are able to do something on their own or they name themselves after achieving something.
The slime became angry when he mentioned her age.
(What do you mean by 20 years? I was in deep sleep all the time while slowly gathering XP. If not for that, I wouldn\'t be level 17 now! Do you really think I have time to think for a name? If not for the summon request, I wouldn\'t have exited my sleep,) the slime replied in an angered voice.
Inside their world, they are able to gather the XP slowly without doing anything; this was the reason why they didn\'t want to leave that world.
But the XP is too low to gather like that, so they choose to become summons to level up. It was no wonder it asked Li Wei to form a contract with very reluctant (eager) expression.
As the slime screamed at him in anger, it also moved its body fiercely, making Li Xin puzzled as she looked at the slime in her arms.
"Brother, what\'s happening? Why does it seem like it\'s angry?" she asked as she caressed it to calm down.
Li Wei shook his head with a smile and also moved his hands to caress it.
"It\'s nothing; it\'s frustrated because it doesn\'t have a name yet. XinXin, why don\'t you name it?" he suggested.
Listening to him, Li Xin shook her head.
"It\'s your summon, brother, so you should name it," she replied, rejecting his suggestion.
Li Wei nodded and moved closer to her.
"Then I will do what my princess says," he replied as he swiftly made his move and hugged her, not caring about the slime that was squished between them.
"Brother!" Li Xin resisted, but her hands were on the slime and couldn\'t move it.
(What are you doing? Have some shame; I am stuck between both of you!) the slime roared, but it fell on the deaf ears of Li Wei who didn\'t care about it.
Elva, Alice, and Olivia could only watch them speechlessly.
Li Wei didn\'t care about anyone and looked at Li Xin, who blushed red till her neck.
"What do you think, should we name it Lily?" he asked, pondering and having no intentions of letting her go.
Li Xin wrinkled her cute nose in response.
"You can name it however you want," she replied with a pout and stopped resisting.
\'He is getting more and more active. Don\'t tell me he is planning to do that soon,\' she thought, her heart racing a little.
Li Wei nodded and looked down where the slime was pressed between their bodies.
"I will name you Lily, how about it?" he asked for her consent.
(I don\'t have any problems that. Just release me from here, please,) she replied in a crying tone.
[Ding, the pink slime\'s name has changed to Lily.]
