Chapter 4: Transforming Essence into Experience - Annual Assessment
…………
"System, besides selling it for money, what use is this essence to Dimo?" Lin Zeqiang suppressed the urge to immediately run back to the city to sell it for cash and asked in his mind. He knew very well that in this world, one's own strength was always more important than money.
[Ding! Back to host, this system possesses an energy conversion function. You can use the system to convert collected essences, fragments, and other items containing soul energy into the purest and most easily absorbed pet experience energy. Directly feeding this to your pet can significantly increase its strength and level, and may even trigger bloodline evolution.]
"Directly converted into experience points?!" Lin Ze gasped.
In the novel *Full-Time Magister*, summoned beasts typically require extremely expensive resources such as bloodline, bones, and souls to advance to the next level, and the success rate is not high. Mo Fan went to great lengths to get his Ghost Wolf Beast to advance to the advanced stage.
And he only needs to kill demons and obtain their essence to directly level up his pets?
This is practically turning "Full-Time Magister" into a monster-slaying and leveling-up online game!
"Let's do it! Money's nothing, getting stronger is the only thing that matters!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ze immediately issued the command: "System, convert this essence for me!"
[Ding! Conversion in progress... Conversion successful.]
The eerie green essence within the necromancer vanished instantly, replaced by a ball of warm white light floating in Lin Ze's palm. The energy contained within this ball of light was extremely pure, without a trace of demonic malevolence.
"Dimo, open your mouth, it's time to eat candy." Lin Ze handed the ball of light to Dimo.
Dimo sniffed, immediately sensing the immense allure contained within the ball of light. It eagerly opened its mouth and swallowed the ball of light whole.
"Smack smack...burp!"
After swallowing the energy orb, Dimo let out a satisfied burp. Immediately afterward, a burst of intense golden light erupted from its body. This light lasted for a good ten seconds before gradually dissipating.
After the light faded, Lin Ze was pleasantly surprised to find that although Dimo's size hadn't increased significantly, its fur had become shinier, and the V-shaped mark on its chest had become deeper. Most importantly, through their mental connection, Lin Ze could clearly sense that the light energy within Dimo had increased by a full third!
"Wow, the effect is immediate!" Lin Ze clenched his fist excitedly.
If Dimo was merely a beginner at the servant level before, now, having consumed a spirit essence, it has firmly established itself at the mid-level of the servant class!
"It seems there's hope for the future."
Lin Ze turned his head to look into the depths of the wilderness. The dark forest that had once filled him with fear now appeared to him as a huge treasure trove of experience.
"Hunting demons, collecting essences, raising pets... this is the classic storyline for transmigrators!"
Lin Ze stroked his chin, his brain starting to work at lightning speed.
"Dimo's combat capabilities are now largely complete, making him perfectly suitable as a main battle pet. However, how can an excellent summoner only have one pet?"
The continent of Carlossia, which the system connects to, has hundreds or even thousands of pets with different functions.
"For example, I need to catch a Grass-type Pokémon with [Hypnotic Powder] or [Leech Seed] to control the enemy; I also need to catch a high-burst Fire-type Pokémon like the Fire God to supplement damage; if I have the chance, I'll get a Flying-type Pokémon with wings as a mount, like the Royal Griffin, wouldn't that be great for traveling and escaping?"
Lin Ze became more and more excited, wishing he could enter the system space right now and plunder the Kingdom of Locke.
But he quickly calmed down.
"No, taking too big a step can lead to disaster. The continent of Carlosia isn't entirely safe either. Catching pets requires fighting, and after I bring them back, I'll have to use magic energy to raise them."
Lin Ze glanced at the still insufficiently vast area of summoning stardust in his mental world. Raising one Dimo was already straining his daily mana; if he were to bring back a few more, he would be completely drained.
"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. My primary task now is to continue cultivating and improve my magical abilities. At the same time, I need to hunt demons in the wild more often, collecting their fragments and essences. Once I have enough magical energy and sufficient 'upgrade resources,' it won't be too late to go to the continent of Carlossia to purchase more!"
Having made up his mind, Lin Ze glanced at the corpse of the giant-eyed rat on the ground, curled his lip in disgust, and did not cut off the worthless fur.
"Let's go, Timo, that's enough for today's warm-up. When we get home, I'll make you some braised ribs!"
"Dimo~"

Time flies, and half a year has slipped away like sand through our fingers.
The annual assessment of Tianlan Magic High School has concluded under the watchful eyes of all teachers, students, and even the higher-ups of Bocheng. This year's assessment is destined to be recorded in the history of Tianlan Magic High School, for no other reason than the emergence of two prodigies.
One of them was Mo Fan, who came from a commoner background and awakened the fire element. He took first place in the whole school with an extremely ferocious attitude.
The other one is Lin Ze, a summoning mage who usually seems carefree and unassuming, but who shocked everyone on the day of the assessment.
Star Stone Test: S Grade!
Magic casting assessment, S rank!
When Lin Ze stood on the assessment field, he smoothly connected the seven stars and summoned Dimo, who was radiating holy light, amidst a dazzling moon-white star trail. The entire playground was silent.
When Dimo smashed the tin puppet prepared by the school to pieces with just one move, "Flash Impact," the entire audience erupted in screams that seemed to lift the roof off.
Even Mu Ningxue, the Ice Goddess who was sitting in the main seat of the viewing platform and was known as the number one genius of Bo City and possessed a natural ice-type spirit seed, showed a rare fluctuation on her usually icy face when she saw Dimo's pure light energy and Lin Ze's skillful control.
Such a dazzling genius naturally attracted the attention of the local bullies in Bo City. On the very day the assessment ended, Mu Zhuoyun, the head of the Mu family, couldn't wait to extend an olive branch to Lin Ze, promising that as long as Lin Ze was willing to join the Mu family, all kinds of cultivation resources, magical tools, and even high-level guiding stones could be supplied freely.
However, faced with this huge pie that would make countless commoner mages fight tooth and nail for it, Lin Ze simply picked his ear and casually retorted with, "Sorry, Grandpa Mu, I'm used to being a carefree person and can't stand the rules of a big family. I'd rather be a free spirit."
Are you kidding me? He's the man with the "Rock Kingdom" system, the future ruler of the Carlosia continent, going to be a henchman for a small Bo City family? That's just plain stupid!
