6: Chapter 6 Pet Egg: Miniature Pig
Li Mumu returned home.
The scene unfolded before his eyes.
A woman wearing a white slim-fit shirt, a black slit pencil skirt, thin black stockings, and pointed high heels was performing a hot dance in the living room.
Crucially, the woman was also wearing gold-rimmed glasses, which added a touch of intellectual charm to the already sexy and passionate scene.
Qian Xinyue, Li Mumu's young aunt, had awakened the life class 'Dancer'. She worked in the live-streaming industry and was famous in the field for her sexy dance moves and revealing clothes.
There was no other way; supporting a family was nothing to be ashamed of.
Seeing her nephew return home, Qian Xinyue shut off the stream and rushed forward to pull Li Mumu into a hug, saying happily, "Mumu, quick, tell Auntie, what life class did you awaken?"
"Is it a Waiter? It's okay, you can be my assistant from now on. There will be no problem supporting the family."
Embraced in that gentle embrace, Li Mumu struggled constantly, trying to escape from his aunt's ample bosom. "Auntie, I'm not a kid anymore. Men and women shouldn't be so close. Let me go!"
"Also, I... awakened a mutated class. Combat. Orc."
"Orc?" Qian Xinyue was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. Then, she kissed Li Mumu's forehead and laughed through tears, "That's great! My boy awakened a combat class. Auntie isn't working tonight; I'll make a delicious meal to reward you."
After saying that, Qian Xinyue turned and walked toward the kitchen.
"Wait, Auntie."
Li Mumu pulled out a two-million Crystal Coins card and handed it to Qian Xinyue. "Auntie, we have money now. This house is too small, and the surrounding environment is bad. Men with bad intentions are always loitering nearby. Let's change to a better house. There's two million here; if it's not enough, just ask me for more."
"Alright."
Qian Xinyue took the Crystal Coins card. The two had relied on each other since they were young, so they didn't fuss over money. Besides, living in a nice house would make things much smoother for Li Mumu when he went on blind dates or looked for a girlfriend in the future.
"Then Auntie will be enjoying the good life with Mumu from now on."
"Definitely!"
Afterward, his aunt went to the kitchen to cook.
Li Mumu went to his room and prepared to review six years of textbook knowledge. As Liu Lin had said, the Double Moon World was full of dangers. Better learning, and understanding the characteristics of monsters, was the guarantee for survival.
[Ding! The host is striving for improvement, triggering a hidden mission: Thoroughly read and understand six years of textbook knowledge within seven days. Upon success, you will receive a generous reward.]
Holy crap!!!
This is so targeted!
Six years of textbook knowledge in seven days?
No way.
I will follow the example of the ancients, tying my hair to the beam and pricking my thigh with an awl. I'll grind for seven days and seven nights.
Li Mumu started reading. Five minutes later, he was overcome with sleepiness. His head felt as heavy as a hippo's, and he fell asleep instantly.
[Ding! Damn, what a bad student!!!]
[Ding! With this, how are you going to handle the Dungeon assessment in seven days?!]
"Argh!!!"
A scream rang out.
Li Mumu had placed a small stool at the foot of the bed with a durian underneath. If he fell asleep, he would step on it.
"Damn it, I actually fell asleep. Continue, contin—"
"Argh!!!"
And so it went.
Seven days later.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission through blood and sweat.]
[Ding! System reward issued: One Golden Pet Egg.]
[Ding! System reward issued: Title 'Straight-A Student'.]
[Ding! Would you like to hatch the Golden Pet Egg?]
"Hatch it."
Li Mumu said without any hesitation.
A golden light flashed, and the pet egg, covered in strange patterns, began to crack with a sizzling sound.
A pink hatchling the size of a watermelon crawled out of the egg. It immediately devoured the eggshell, but it didn't seem full. It looked at Li Mumu with its watery eyes and made a sound.
"Oink oink~~ Oink oink~~"
Li Mumu was full of interest. Looking at the pink hatchling before him, he murmured, "Wow~~ what a cute Little Fragrant Pig!"
That's right!
The pet egg had hatched into a short, round, fat, and fleshy pink piglet. Its eyes were round, and it looked like it hadn't slept or eaten enough. It was incredibly cute.
Next, Li Mumu searched around his newly moved villa for a long time and found many snacks and fruits his aunt had bought. He brought them to the Little Fragrant Pig and asked, "Do you eat this?"
The Little Fragrant Pig nodded and began to eat impatiently.
"Oink oink~~ Oink oink~~"
While the Little Fragrant Pig was eating happily, Li Mumu made a video call to Liu Lin. After the climax of the song 'The Wind Rises' finished playing, the other party still hadn't answered.
"Strange, what is this kid doing? He's actually not picking up. He's not jerking off again, is he?" Li Mumu wondered.
Li Mumu had intended to call Liu Lin to tell him to meet at his new home tomorrow so they could head to the Dungeon assessment together. However, he had already called four times, and all of them went unanswered.
"Oink oink~~ Oink oink~~"
After finishing the snacks and fruit, the Little Fragrant Pig came to Li Mumu's leg, grabbed his calf, and started making movements like a Teddy dog.
Li Mumu: "..."
Lust follows food and comfort; it seems this applies to all species.
Just then.
Ding!
A text message notification sounded. The sender was indeed Liu Lin.
"Sanmu, what's up? Looking for me?"
Li Mumu typed on the nine-key keypad.
"Meet at my place for tomorrow's Dungeon assessment?"
Liu Lin: "OK. You moved? Send the address."
Li Mumu: "Room 101, Unit 1, Building 10, Xinhai Chaoyang County, Wutong District, Canghai City."
Liu Lin: "Wow~~ the rich area! That's it then. I'm a bit busy, buddy. See you tomorrow."
"OK."
Li Mumu wanted to ask about the location of the Dungeon assessment, but seeing that Liu Lin seemed very busy, he dropped the idea. Anyway, with him leading the way tomorrow, what was there to fear?
The Dungeon assessment was the only way for class-change practitioners to enter a Vocational University.
There were many benefits to joining a Vocational University: guidance from excellent teachers, team combat drills, training grounds with realistic simulations, high-level skill books...
Among them, the most anticipated was the LAL University Professional League.
In the Double Moon World, Dungeons and secret realms were also divided into levels.
Dungeons ranged from low to high, just like ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold...
Secret realms were divided by level and quality, same as equipment quality. From low to high: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, and special Dungeons were Black.
As for the difference between Dungeons and secret realms...
Dungeons existed permanently and would not disappear.
Once a secret realm was cleared and the rewards obtained, it would disappear. It might reappear somewhere else in the future, or it might never appear again.
Furthermore, besides gaining entry to a university, the Dungeon assessment offered an enticing reward: the first-place team in the assessment would receive a five-million-dollar prize.
One had to know.
A standard team in the Double Moon World consisted of five people: one main Tank, two DPS, one main Healer, and one flex player. If the tankiness was insufficient, they'd add a sub-Tank; if the damage was low, they'd add a Warrior; if the healing was low, they'd add a sub-Healer.
Therefore, if the five-million prize was split equally among five people, Li Mumu could get one million.
For Li Mumu, who had just spent five million on a villa, this was quite enticing. Having been scared of poverty in his previous life, he was determined to be filthy rich in this life and let his aunt Qian Xinyue and those who loved him live a good life.
"Oink oink~~ Oink oink~~ (I'm hungry again, buy me food.)"
Li Mumu: "..."
And there it was, another expensive foodie to feed. How could he survive without making money?
