65-Pet.

---

As Su Yu placed both hands on the golden treasure chest and yanked it open, three items shimmering with cheap, rainbow-colored special effects floated out.

Before Su Yu could get a clear look, one of them—a ball-sized object—lunged toward her.

Su Yu almost screamed, but Su Mo, quick as a flash, reached out and snatched the ball-like thing midair.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a tiny wild boar, no bigger than a ball, looking adorably dumb.

The reason it was described as a "ball" was simple—it was so round and chubby, it really wasn't much different from one.

Its two grayish eyes darted around constantly, and the tiny tusks poking out of its mouth added to its cuteness.

Its black-and-white striped fur covered its body in bands, making it look even more like a little ball.

Su Mo pinched the back of its neck with two fingers, and a notification popped up the next moment.

[Pet: Pippi Pig. After binding, it can fight alongside its owner and level up together.]

Seeing this, Su Mo fell silent for a moment before finally speaking. "Uh, this thing… helps its owner fight and level up? A pet? Who in their right mind keeps a pig as a pet? Let's just sell it."

Hearing Su Mo suggest selling it, Su Yu quickly snatched the little striped pig from his hands, cradling it in her palms. She examined it closely and said, "No way! Don't you think this little guy is pretty cute?"

"Sister, don't tell me you actually want to keep this thing. It's a pig! Who in their right mind raises a pig as a pet?"

Su Yu pouted. "By your logic, if we sold it, it probably wouldn't fetch much anyway. Might as well let me keep it as a companion."

She paused, then added, "Besides, what's wrong with raising a pig? As long as it's cute, that's enough. You're always out and about, never home. I can't even see you around the house. I'd rather have a pig than that."

"Whoa, hold on. Wasn't I at school studying all this time? And, uh, Sister, replacing me with a pig— isn't that a bit unfair?

Plus, I can tell just by looking at this thing—it's definitely a huge eater. Why don't we just…"

Before Su Mo could finish, Su Yu cut him off. "Enough, enough, stop talking. Are you the big sister or am I? You've grown up, wings all tough now, huh? Won't even listen to me anymore. I said I'm keeping this thing, and no one's stopping me!!!"

Faced with Su Yu's fierce declaration, Su Mo's mind flashed back to the days when his sister ruled over him. He fell silent.

Su Yu held the black-and-white striped piglet in her hands, poking Su Mo with her free hand to ask for some snacks and rations. She started feeding it, leaving Su Mo with a head full of dark lines.

Seeing his sister acting so unreliable, Su Mo felt a pang of helplessness. Where was the mature, warm, and generous sister he once knew? Why had awakening turned her into THIS?

Had someone hijacked her body?!

Su Mo shook his head, feeling like his sister was a lost cause, then turned his attention to the other two items.

[Skill Scroll: War Roar. Use to gain the skill War Roar (learnable at level 20)]

A quick glance at the skill scroll, and Su Mo dismissed it without even bothering with the details.

A skill usable only at level 20? To him, it was as good as trash.

He glanced at his sister, still feeding the little striped pig snacks.

The piglet munched away, rubbing against her palm and letting out little "oink-oink" sounds. Su Mo shook his head helplessly again.

Imagining his sister standing in a dungeon, suddenly letting out a bellowing roar…

He quickly shook his head to banish the terrifying thought. That kind of scene was already a childhood trauma for him—no way he'd let it happen again.

And "War Roar"? The name alone screamed it wasn't a decent skill. (Translation: Mainly because he couldn't use it now—what a useless thing!)

Stashing the skill scroll away, Su Mo's gaze shifted to the last item.

[Raging Tusked Duke's Leather Armor: Crafted from the tough hide of the Raging Tusked Duke. When worn, Defense +180, Movement Speed -40]

The 180 defense boost was useless to him, but if Su Yu wore it, she could probably hold her own against even peak bronze-tier foes.

With that in mind, he picked up the Raging Tusked Duke's Leather Armor and approached Su Yu, holding it up against her.

Su Yu, who'd been squatting and playing with the piglet, looked up in confusion as Su Mo approached.

When she saw him holding the hideous leather armor and gesturing at her with it, she immediately scrunched her face in disgust.

"You're not seriously thinking I'd wear that, are you?"

Su Mo nodded. "Yeah! It's got 180 defense points and no equip requirements. It's perfect for you."

"This thing is so ugly! All these years, I raised you with blood, sweat, and tears, and now that you've made it, the first thing you give me is this hideous outfit? It breaks my heart."

As she spoke, Su Yu put on a sad face. Before Su Mo could respond, she snatched the armor from him and continued, "Fine, since it's the first gift you've ever given me, I won't hold it against you. Your taste is awful, and I bear a lot of responsibility for that.

Giving it to me is one thing, but you'd better remember—if you're gifting other girls, never give something like this, got it?"

The corner of Su Mo's mouth twitched. He wanted to retort that this armor, if sold, would fetch at least six figures.

Yet in his sister's eyes, it was somehow worthless garbage.

And seriously—who cared about looks when running dungeons every day? Strong gear was all that mattered!

"Sis, so you're really planning to keep this…"

Before he could finish, Su Yu scooped up the piglet, plopped it on her shoulder, and shot him a glare. The piglet mimicked her, staring at Su Mo with its beady little eyes.

Su Mo wisely changed the subject. "Alright, we're done with this dungeon. Let's head to the next one."

Su Yu nodded. "Sure, but hold on—I need to sign a contract with Little Flower first. It'll be quick."

Su Mo nearly choked. Little Flower? You mean that striped pig in your hands!

You named it already? And so casually too! Calling a piglet "Little Flower"—what's next, a black pig named "Little Black"?

"Fine, Sis, just hurry up!"

"Wow! Little Flower's amazing—it even has skills! Look at its stats—they're so awesome!"

Su Yu's exclamation snapped Su Mo's attention back. The next moment, a panel of information appeared before them.
