Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 67 - 65: Another Treasure Chest, a Pet?

As Su Yu placed both hands on the golden treasure chest and swung it open, three items with a flashy 50-cent rainbow glow effect immediately floated out.

Before Su Yu could get a clear look, one of the items about the size of a ball lunged at him.

Just as Su Yu was about to scream in surprise, Su Mo, with quick reflexes, reached out and grabbed the ball-sized object.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small, adorable-looking wild pig only the size of a ball.

Why compare it to a ball, you ask? Well, it’s just so round that it really looks like one.

Its two beady gray eyes were darting around constantly, and the little tusks at the corners of its mouth also seemed quite cute.

Its fur spread across its body in black and white patches, making it look even more like a ball.

Su Mo held the creature by the scruff with two fingers, and the next moment, a line of information appeared.

[Pet: Pipi Pig, after binding, can follow its owner in battle and level up together.]

After seeing this information, Su Mo was silent for a moment before he finally spoke: "Uh, this thing can help its owner in battle and level up? And it’s a pet? Who in their right mind would keep a pig as a pet! Let’s just sell it."

Upon hearing Su Mo’s intention to get rid of the little creature, Su Yu quickly snatched the tiny pig from his hands and held it in her palm, examining it carefully before saying: "Come on, don’t you think this little thing is quite cute?"

"Sis, you’re not actually telling me you want to keep this thing, are you? This is a pig! Who in their right mind keeps a pig as a pet!"

Su Yu pouted: "Based on what you said, even if we sold this thing, it wouldn’t fetch much. Might as well keep it as a companion."

She paused for a moment before continuing:

"Besides, what’s wrong with keeping a pig? As long as it’s cute, right? You’re always out and never home. I can’t even see you around the house. I might as well have a pig for company."

"No, haven’t I been at school? And, Sis, isn’t it a bit unfair to compare me to a pig,

Plus, this thing looks like it eats a lot. We might as well..."

Before Su Mo could finish, Su Yu cut in: "Alright, alright, enough already. I’m the sister here, and you’re the brother, all grown up now, right? Don’t listen to your sister anymore? I said I’m keeping this, and nobody can stop me!!!"

Faced with Su Yu’s assertive declaration, Su Mo was reminded of the times when his sister instilled fear in him and fell into silence.

Su Yu held the black-and-white piglet in her palm, poked Su Mo with her other hand, asked for some snacks and dried food, and began feeding it, while Su Mo watched, his forehead lined with exasperation.

Seeing his sister acting so irresponsibly, Su Mo felt a pang of helplessness. Where did his once mature, warm, and generous sister go? Why did she change after awakening?

Could it be she was possessed!

Su Mo shook his head, figuring his sister was probably beyond saving. He then turned to the other two items.

[Skill Scroll War Roar: Use to obtain the skill War Roar (available at level 20)]

With a mere glance at the skill scroll, Su Mo dismissed it without needing a detailed introduction.

Skills usable only at level 20 were as good as garbage to Su Mo.

He glanced at his sister, still feeding snacks to the piglet.

Watching as the piglet ate and nuzzled into his sister’s palm,

and making little snorting sounds, he shook his head again in exasperation.

Imagining his sister inside a dungeon suddenly letting out a roar...

He quickly shook his head, dismissing such a terrible thought. Scenes like that were childhood nightmares for Su Mo, and he would not allow them to happen.

Besides, the name War Roar, upon hearing it, didn’t sound like a proper skill (Translation: Mainly because he couldn’t use it now, what a useless skill!).

After putting away the skill scroll, Su Mo’s gaze shifted to the final item.

[Duke of Furious Fang’s Leather Armor: Made from the tough hide of the Duke of Furious Fang, wearing it grants +180 Defense Attributes, -40 Speed]

Although 180 points of defense attributes were useless to him, if his sister wore it, she could at least stand her ground against peak bronze-level professionals.

With this thought, he picked up the Duke of Furious Fang’s leather armor and went to Su Yu to see if it fit her.

Su Yu, who was previously squatting on the ground playing with the piglet, looked up in confusion as Su Mo approached.

When she saw him holding this ridiculously ugly leather armor to her body, her face instantly showed a look of disdain.

"You’re not really thinking of making me wear this, are you?"

Su Mo nodded: "Yep, a full 180 defense attributes, and it has no wearing requirements. It’s perfect for you."

"This thing is so ugly. All these years of me raising you, and now the first gift my brother gives me is this ugly outfit, it makes me really sad."

Su Yu showed a sad expression as she spoke. Before Su Mo could reply, she snatched the armor and said:

"Whatever, because it’s your first time giving your sister a gift, I won’t be petty about it. I own a big part of why your taste is so off,

Giving this to your sister is one thing, but promise me, if it’s for other girls, don’t give them something like this, got it?"

Su Mo’s lips twitched. He wanted to retort that this piece of armor would go for at least six figures if sold.

Yet, to his sister, it seemed worthless.

Besides, for someone who raids dungeons daily, who even cares about how the equipment looks when strength is all that matters!

"Sis, so you really plan to keep this..."

Before Su Mo could finish, Su Yu picked up the piglet and placed it on her shoulder, then glared at Su Mo. The piglet mimicked Su Yu, giving Su Mo a glare with its beady little eyes.

Su Mo wisely changed the subject: "Alright, we finished this dungeon, let’s head to the next one."

Su Yu nodded: "Sure, but hold on, I need to make a contract with Xiaohua, it’ll just take a moment."

Su Mo wanted to joke about who Xiaohua was, but realized it was the piglet in her hand! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

And you’ve already named it this quickly? Isn’t the name a bit too random!

A piglet named Xiaohua, what if there’s a little black pig...

"Fine, sis, hurry up then!"

......

"Wow! Xiaohua is amazing, it even has a skill, look at its attributes, really impressive!"

Su Yu’s exclamation quickly drew Su Mo’s attention back, and the next moment, a string of panel information emerged.
