Chapter 224 The First Test Subject
Since that was the case, Joanna decided to provide the circle materials herself. All she needed was for someone to sign a contract, take part in the test, and leave behind data. She was confident plenty of people would apply.
Sure enough, her backend inbox quickly filled up with messages. Some weren’t even Summoners. A few people even asked if they could buy a humanoid slave.
Joanna ignored those messages and focused on reviewing the real applicants.
Just then, her communicator rang.
Only someone she knew could contact her directly. She glanced at the message and pause, surprised.
Zoey asked, “Joanna, I saw what you posted on your page. Do you think I could qualify p>
Chromatic Star, Violetlight City.
Zoey waited nervously for Joanna’s reply. She knew very well that she didn’t really meet Joanna’s requirements.
She thought about how Joanna had crushed the SAT and become the top scorer and how she had dominated the Star Domain Battle.
That fierce, never-give-up fighting spirit made Zoey admire her deeply.
Zoey was already 24 years old. Her profession was demanding. She worked as a host, celebrity, and public figure, with an intense schedule. On top of that, she was also required to complete reproduction tasks.
She had given birth to her first child in her freshman year of college. By now, she was already a mother of five.
Each pregnancy lasted only about seven months before a scheduled surgical delivery.
The first three months didn’t affect her much, but during the last four months, she couldn’t
work at all.
Worst of all, she had no control over who the child’s father would be.
She had never dared to hope for anything different.
But Joanna gave her hope.

Zoey wrote, “If you agree, I’ll apply to the system to change my class to a Combat Class. I’ve already learned five skills, though. I don’t know if that still meets your requirements. I can pay for the Circle materials myself, and I’m also willing to invest in your project. I’ll add 20 million Starcoins p>
Several minutes passed before she received a reply. To Zoey, they felt painfully long.
Finally, Joanna replied. She wrote, “That works. Send me your full profile. I’ll give you one-on- one guidance before arranging the circle. We’ll run the test remotely-no, actually, I’ll come see you in person p>
Joanna remembered how her circle had once been sabotaged. Zoey wasn’t a Summoner; she might not know how to handle a circle properly.
Zoey answered at once, “Thank you! Thank you so much p>
She immediately sent over her information.
“Name: Zoey Yardley
“Level: 5
“Class: Host (Life Class)
“Attributes: Vitality 10, Strength 10, Agility 20, Spirit 15
“Talent: Affinity (B-Rank)
“Skills: Perfect Voice (E Rank), Perfect Form (D Rank), Minor Shapeshift (D Rank), Lightstep Body (E Rank), Star-Grade Acting (E Rank p>
Joanna labeled Zoey as Test Subject No. 1.
When Beatrice saw the profile, she was stunned.
“A Life Class? And her talent is pretty weak. Her skill slots are already full too. How is she supposed to learn combat skills? Why did you choose her as the test subject p>
Joanna had her reasons.
“Our test subjects don’t need to be highly talented,” she said calmly. “Talented participants cost too much p>
Beatrice thought about the people she had contacted earlier. Most of them were academy students.
Since Academy students were admitted through SAT, they already had Level 10 contract beasts.

Only Summoners at Level 20 or Level 30 were truly suitable.
But almost no one believed in this research project anymore, especially after Helen’s past scandals.
On top of that, many people worried about the risks. According to Helen’s contracts, once you signed a new contract beast, you couldn’t cancel or get rid of it freely. If it affected their studies, the consequences could be serious.
Zoey didn’t have to worry about any of that.
Joanna continued, “Zoey is a Life Class. Changing class costs 100 million Starcoins, and she’ll pay for it herself. She’s also covering the cost and investing extra money into our project. She’s a famous host on our planet, makes good money, and has public influence.
“Now tell me which is more impactful? A genius summoner signing a contract, or a Life Class doing it p>
“The second one,” Beatrice admitted at once.
She understood the logic now, but the difficulty still worried her.
When Helen led the research team before, she only used high-level Summoners and still received terrible feedback.
Beatrice wasn’t confident she could succeed.
Joanna, however, was full of confidence.
“Perfect timing,” she said. “It’s the start of the school year. Not just colleges-high schools too. A lot of freshmen choose the summoner path. We can select test subjects from first-year high school students later. We’ll talk about that afterward. For now, I still have a morning class. Once it’s over, I’ll come back and personally design Zoey’s Bloodcall Circle p>
