After logging on, Su Mo first went on Lafu’s account to mingle on the Boss monster chat group for a while. Only after indirectly making some inquiries and gaining some information did he log onto his own account and take the baby panda out.
As soon as he stepped out of the inn, he was surrounded. Today, Hargins Town was completely packed.
“It really is a panda, heavens, and a baby one too…”
“Girl, can you calm down a bit? You’re almost drooling.”
“Can I touch it? Please?”
“With so many people around, if you all touch it, it probably won’t have any fur left by the end of the day.”
“What does it eat? I brought all kinds of good food.”
“This is easy. I’ll store the food for it, I promise I won’t pilfer any of it.”
“Does it like to sleep? What do you normally make it do?”
“I don’t make it do anything. When I fight monsters I just let it watch. I’ve never let a monster even touch its finger before. We have to protect animals.”
“I don’t believe you, look, the baby panda’s sticking its tongue at you. You’re definitely lying.”
“It’s hungry, hurry and give it something to eat.
“Alright, line up, there’s only one hour today. 60 spots, one minute each, one gold coin for a spot. Oh, pretty girl, do you want to cuddle with it?”
Su Mo chose 60 good-looking girls, and the baby panda enjoyed their warm embraces.
He earned another 60 gold coins in one hour, and the exchange rate today was one gold coin for $55.
That was $3,000, and the main thing was that he did not have to do anything at all, nor did he have to take any risks. Moreover, the girls had all given him so much food, which he could sell. In actuality, Lafu and the baby panda would not be able to finish all of it even if they ate themselves to death.
It was a pity that this was not something he could do long-term. Otherwise, he would be able to earn a lot of money every day just from doing panda expos.
If he did not have his father, who worked so hard to support their family, and did not have grand dreams, perhaps Su Mo would have been satisfied with that kind of stable and easy life.
The baby panda was quite happy for one or two girls to pet it, but it became grumpier and grumpier. This had nothing to do with the girls’ looks; it was most likely that a few discourteous girls wanted to check its gender.
“What is its name?” a girl asked Su Mo.
“I haven’t given it a name yet. Do you have any suggestions? If you don’t, I’m planning to call it Mighty—good name, right?”
The girls crowding around him all looked at him as if there was something wrong with his brain, while they looked at the panda sympathetically. Such a cute panda, and yet it had such a weird owner.
“We talked about it on the forum for a long time and hope that it can be called Rolly. Is that ok?”
“Alright, Rolly it is then. It’s a pity for Lafu, I thought I’d give them similar names.” Su Mo said as he nodded indifferently. The thing he hated the most was coming up with names.
Names were just a sound, they did not matter much.
After escaping with the baby panda, Su Mo chose to go and grind. It was not so easy to encounter hidden quests, and this was even despite having the Boss monster chat group.
He also could not continuously do requests without stopping. At the end of the day, levels were incredibly important.
Su Mo spent the morning grinding EXP, and only in the afternoon did he remember to check on his little sister. After all, his parents had repeatedly reminded him to.
He did not know his little sister’s ID, nor did he know where she was, but finding Su Xiaojiu was quite simple. Su Mo opened the livestream website in the game—this kind of technology in VR games was quite common; one could even stay in an inn and watch movies.
It was possible to watch streams while farming monsters, as long as one stayed alert enough not to get killed.
Otherwise, most players would die from boredom while grinding.
Su Xiaojiu appeared in front of Su Mo’s eyes. The scene was so beautiful that it was almost difficult to look at it directly.
“Look, everyone, it’s a little bunny. Wow, it’s so cute and looks very yummy. Let’s first use the Pound skill…”
Su Xiaojiu was holding a massive spoon that was bigger than her entire person.
She then slammed it down on the poor white rabbit’s head, causing some golden stars to appear above its head as it became stunned. Following this, Su Xiaojiu once again smashed the massive spoon on the rabbit’s face.
The Level 12 rabbit died just like that.
“Little white bunny, round and white, pick it up by its ears~ after cutting its arteries, cut its veins, still little bunny is so cute~” Su Xiaojiu sang her version of the nursery rhyme as she skinned the rabbit, and the chat became filled with ‘lols.’
There were some people who felt quite confused, “Xiaojiu-chan, aren’t you scared? I thought girls were afraid of gory things.”
Su Xiaojiu checked the chat room as she worked and replied, “At first I was a bit scared, but after I started thinking of the monsters as my big brother, I wasn’t afraid anymore.”
The chatroom once again became filled with ‘lols.’
Su Mo narrowed his eyes. His little sister was already Level 10 and had upgraded her profession, and she had chosen the Chef profession, which was quite rare.
Chefs were similar to Blacksmiths, Alchemists, and Machinists in the sense that they came from lifestyle-professions.
Chefs were rare not in the sense that players had to do a hidden quest. In actuality, anyone could become a Chef, but most people chose to be Warriors, Mages, Priests, or Hunters.
The advantage of Chefs was that they could eat their own food and increase their stats or give themselves buffs.
Moreover, when they skinned and deboned meat, they would do so more nimbly and had a chance of getting higher grade materials and ingredients.
This was a lifestyle-profession, and its battle power could not be compared to the four main professions.
However, seeing Su Xiaojiu bash a rabbit to death with two blows of her spoon, her battle power seemed decent.
Chefs could use many types of weapons, but after being equipped, the appearance of the weapons would become spoons, forks, saucepans, etc.
Even weapons like bows and guns, the arrows and bullets they shot out would become forks and knives.
“Wow, look, there’s a massive white rabbit here. Let’s use its meat to make a soup and then use its fur to make some clothes. Apart from being a chef, Aunty Karina is also an amazing Tailor.”
The chat began to be filled with ‘yamete’ and ‘hajima.’
Even though he was so far away, Su Mo started to feel cold sweat. Did this girl know what a Boss was?
Not all bunnies were ingredients; sometimes they would turn you into an ingredient.
Following this, the Level 12 Su Xiaojiu was killed by the Level 15 Boss. The little Chef wearing a maid outfit fell to the ground, her eyes looking up at the blue sky lifelessly. The scene was very brutal and the chatroom was choked with emotion.
Su Xiaojiu was not stupid, and she did not continuously challenge the Boss and commit suicide. However, she was not very satisfied with just giving up like that.
“Jiu-chan, do you want us to help you?”
“Jiu-chan, I’m a Level 27 expert. Let me protect you…”
“None of you come. If you come, I won’t stream anymore. My big brother doesn’t allow me to meet you guys, not even in the game. Otherwise he’s going to give me a beating…”
“Big brother is a perv~”
“What are you going to do then? You can’t beat this Boss by yourself, and even if you make a party, you’d need to be at least Level 15. If you want to solo it, you need to be over Level 20.”
“I’m going to ask my big brother. Big bro!”
Su Mo’s communication device sounded. Even though they had not added each other in the game, phone calls in real life would be redirected into the game.
