22: Chapter 22 Unique Hidden Profession: Landlord

"What class?"

Li Mumu asked in confusion.

Zhang Qingcheng spoke slowly, "The leader of the second-place team is from Suhang City, named Li Youqian. His class is Landlord."

"What did you say? Landlord?" Liu Lin heard this and had a look of disbelief on his face. "That's such bullshit. Why don't you call him a local tycoon or a billionaire?"

"It's the same thing."

Zhang Qingcheng didn't want to argue with him and continued, "It's normal that you haven't heard of this class because it's a Unique Hidden Class. Once it appears, the next successor won't emerge until the current one dies."

"Unique!!!"

Everyone cried out in surprise.

Even without further explanation from Zhang Qingcheng, everyone understood the weight of the word 'Unique'.

After all...

Hidden classes were already rare, but adding the word 'Unique' made it the rarest of the rare. Just how powerful would it be...

"This... is way too badass-plus!" Liu Lin said in disbelief.

Dongfang Xue's competitive spirit was crushed once again. It was one thing to have the freakish Li Mumu, but now there was an even more freakish Landlord class.

Wuwu...

She felt like there was no love left in the world.

Zhang Qingcheng seemed to see through everyone's thoughts and smiled bitterly. "Actually, you're mistaken. The reason Li Youqian could defeat the other teams so quickly isn't because of combat power, but because of 'Money Power'."

"Superpowers?!"

"It's Money!"

"Li Youqian is the eldest grandson of the Li family, one of the Four Great Families of Jiangnan. The Li family is the wealthiest family in the Huaxia Divine Kingdom, having been in business for generations. The Shanshui Group you often see is a Li family property."

"Unsurprisingly, those teams that left the dungeon didn't lose to Li Youqian; they sold their points to him."

Li Mumu's eyes lit up. "My god, what kind of rich idiot would spend money to buy points? By the way, do you know how much he's paying?"

Zhang Qingcheng shook her head. "I don't know, but the price is definitely high. Li Youqian looks ordinary and a bit rustic, but he's always been generous with his spending."

"Uh~~ This person must not be bad at heart. Why don't we sell some points to him too? After all, first place is only worth five million." Li Mumu said longingly.

His thinking was simple: the reward for first place was five million. If a sucker like Li Youqian could offer more than five million, there was no harm in selling the points.

"No way!"

Zhang Qingguo and Dongfang Xue shouted at the same time, but their tones were very different.

Zhang Qingguo's tone carried a hint of humility and pleading, as if she were begging Li Mumu not to do it.

Dongfang Xue's tone was purely firm; her naturally competitive nature wouldn't allow her to admit defeat.

You can lose, but you can't give up.

"Li Mumu, are you even a man? Is competing for first place only for the money?"

"Otherwise?" Li Mumu rolled his eyes and asked back.

Women are so hard to understand.

When a man is poor, they say he's useless and can't make money. When a man works hard to make money, they say he only does things for the money.

Check it out...

Dongfang Xue stomped her feet in anger and pointed at Li Mumu. "You... you're unreasonable!"

Li Mumu spread his hands helplessly. "I'm just saying. If you don't like it, don't listen. But please recognize the reality: no matter how fast we earn points, we can't be faster than the shortcut of buying them. If you don't believe me, look at the leaderboard."

Reminded by Li Mumu, everyone looked at the leaderboard and found that the first-place team's points had already reached 20,753!

Surpassing Li Mumu's Team in second place by over ten thousand points.

Sss...

Everyone gasped, lamenting in their hearts that rich people are just awesome—with money, you really can do whatever you want!

At this moment, Zhang Qingguo, who had been silent, turned pale, as if she had seen something terrifying.

Then, she fainted and fell toward Li Mumu, who was standing beside her.

Li Mumu hurriedly caught her, and a faint fragrance immediately filled his nose, smelling quite pleasant.

"Zhang Qingguo, you're not even the one who's going to get first place, what are you so worked up about? If anyone's going to faint, it should be us!"

Although Li Mumu teased her like this, his hand pressed on her philtrum to help her catch her breath.

After a while...

Zhang Qingguo regained consciousness. The first thing she saw was Li Mumu's well-defined features, and her face flushed red down to her neck. She moved and broke free from Li Mumu's embrace.

Seeing her sister wake up, Zhang Qingcheng's solemn expression softened slightly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Li Mumu, Dongfang Xue, I beg you not to give up on taking first place. My sister and I will help with all our might, and you can even take our team's points."

Hearing this, Li Mumu understood. The Zhang sisters were so obsessed with first place not because they wanted it for themselves, but because they didn't want Li Youqian to get it.

"It seems there's a story between you and Li Youqian. Tell us about it!"

Zhang Qingcheng glanced at her sister, saw her nod, and sighed. "Sister Baoer should know something about this."

"Are you referring to the marriage alliance?" Wang Baobao replied.

"Yes."

Next, Zhang Qingcheng told a particularly melodramatic story.

And this story has to start with the inheritance system of Professionals in the Double Moon World.

What class an ordinary person can awaken at eighteen is determined 80% by innate genes and 20% by acquired learning. In other words, the class most people awaken depends on their parents' classes.

Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the son of a rat will dig holes. From ancient times to the present, this fate cannot be escaped.

In his past life, Li Mumu gave up six years of schooling precisely because of this mechanism.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule of marriage in the Double Moon World.

That is, combat and support Professionals will never marry those with lifestyle classes. It's even more extreme in large families, where they basically rely on marriage alliances between several great families.

And Zhang Qingguo and Li Youqian were the subjects of a marriage alliance between two great families.

Zhang Qingguo was unwilling, but Li Youqian liked her. Finally, under family pressure, the two sides made a bet: if Li Youqian takes first place in this Dungeon Assessment, the two will get engaged!

"Isn't that great?" Li Mumu said.

He didn't understand why they were so worked up. Marriage is marriage regardless of who it is, and besides, Li Youqian has a Unique Hidden Class; he clearly has a bright future!

Sigh, women are so hard to understand!

But as soon as he said this, the girls all glared at him and began to complain about Li Mumu incessantly.

"Xiao Mumu, I have to give you a piece of my mind this time. What era is this? Arranged marriages are just wrong; we have the freedom to love!" Wang Baobao said indignantly.

"Exactly!" Dongfang Xue nodded vigorously in agreement. "Not a single man is any good. Love is a sacred emotion; being with someone you don't like will definitely end badly!"

The next moment.

Zhang Qingcheng took the initiative to hold Dongfang Xue's hands, her expression one of shared purpose. She said excitedly, "Xiaoxue is right. As women of the new century, we must resolutely resist arranged marriages. We want the freedom to love!"

With that, Zhang Qingcheng took out her phone and opened WeChat, saying passionately, "Sisters, I have an Anti-Marriage Alliance Organization Group here. It's full of people in the same boat. Do you want to join and fight back together?"
