“You’re not an adult yet, how did you sign up for a live streaming platform?” Su Mo asked.

“Heh heh, not telling you.” The girl’s eyelashes lightly trembled as crystal-like tears ran down her face. She looked incredibly pitiful, but Su Mo with his heart of stone was unperturbed.

“Hm? You’re not going to tell me?” Su Mo slightly raised his voice.

“Big sis Manman, our cousin.” Su Xiaojiu immediately gave in and lowered her head. In the previous second, she had been resolved not to betray her cousin to the end.

“Xu Manman, is she itching for a spanking as well?” Su Mo was furious. If that damn woman wanted to livestream herself, that was fine, but she dared to encourage his little sister to do the same. Seeing how strangely Su Xiaojiu was dressed, if she held a rabbit, she would most likely be taken as a rabbit.”

“Big brother, you can’t beat up big sis Manman, that’s so inelegant. It’s wrong to hit girls.” Su Xiaojiu felt quite worried.

She did not want a big brother like this; she wished that she could swap him for a different big brother.

Other families’ big brothers all spoiled their little sisters, and many of them were sis-cons. Her big brother would spank her, even though her father and mother never did.

“Hm? Do you still want a spanking?” Su Mo’s face darkened.

“No, no.” Su Xiaojiu shrank into the corner of her little pink bed as she trembled. 

However, she still gathered her courage and said, “Big sis Manman earned quite a lot of money and loaned it all to our family…

“So? That doesn’t mean you need to livestream as well. And you’re dressed like this, are you a bunny?” Su Mo dragged Su Xiaojiu over and spanked her a few more times.

“Big bro, I was wrong, I was wrong.” Su Xiaojiu’s eyes became teary again and she once again obediently lowered her head.

The relationship between this brother and sister had always been like this. Su Mo of course could not really hurt his little sister, and it was mostly to scare her.

As they had grown older, the various methods he had tried in the past did not work anymore.

“You’re still young, just focus on studying well. Leave earning money to your big bro.” Just like before, every time he finished giving her a spanking, he would reason things out with her. If she kept being unreasonable, he would continue with the spanking.

“I’m not a kid anymore, I also want to earn money. I want to earn money! I want to earn money!” Su Xiaojiu said as she threw a tantrum.

“You can go be a waitress at McDonalds,” Su Mo said, feeling a headache.

“McDonalds don’t have waitresses. And what if a perverted uncle tries to grope me? I want to live stream!” Su Xiaojiu lay on the ground, and no matter how Su Mo tried to pull her up, she would not get up.

After fussing for a bit, in the end it was Su Xiaojiu who emerged victorious; the Su Family’s Demon King could not really beat up his little sister.

If anything bad happened, even if it had nothing to do with him, his father and mother would make him pay. His family put their focus on the daughter; it was fine no matter what the son went through, but the daughter needed to be spoiled. This was why it was always Su Mo disciplining his little sister.

“Fine, you can livestream, but you have to promise to abide by my three rules. First, you’re not allowed to wear strange clothes like this…”

“But I like these clothes… Fine, fine, I’ll listen to you, I won’t wear them.” Her big brother’s gaze was simply too vicious; he really was a demon king.

“Second, you’re not allowed to dance or twist about and all that,” Su Mo continued.

“Oi, don’t you think you’re going too far? What do you have against choreography?” Su Xiaojiu felt that she could not continue to endure; he was becoming more and more unreasonable.

“Hah, what you’re doing can be called choreography? That’s an insult to the word. If you want to properly learn dancing, I’ll sign you up for a choreography class.” Su Mo was indeed quite conservative when it came to some things.

“Ugh.” Su Xiaojiu lay on her bed and looked up at the ceiling with a forlorn gaze, and she asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Third, you’re not allowed to add your fans on WeChat, much less meet them privately.” 

Su Mo said savagely, “If I find out, I’ll either beat you to death or beat them to death; you can decide between yourselves.”

Su Xiaojiu could almost see the horns on Su Mo’s head and the fangs in his mouth, and she hugged her blanket and trembled.

Since he had set three rules, Su Mo could not go too far.

He felt a load on his heart as he went to shower and sleep.

The next morning, as the sun was just beginning to rise, Su Mo made breakfast and left. He was eager to enter the game; he had to earn more money, as he had to support his family as a man of the family.

He had finished the request to kill Fatal Octopus three times, and he had gathered the three materials he was after. After sending messages to his clients, he walked into the mercenary hall.

He could not keep waiting for requests to find him, and he needed to actively search for quests and requests too.

The first request on the list was to kill Gray Headed Wolf King Pease—how could it be so easy to kill the Honey Badger? It was not an easy job even if they had large numbers. The reward was $100,000.

The Boss monster chat group could not help him kill the Honey Badger, so Su Mo directly skipped over this request.

Because of the existence of the Boss monster chat group, he started to look through requests for materials. These made up most of the requests in the mercenary hall, as materials were the most important thing in New World. Making equipment, potions, scrolls, and doing quests all required all sorts of materials.

Some were regular materials, whereas some were extremely rare. For example, Blood-Stained Rub Iron was something that Omnipresent Brightness had spent ten or so days looking for without getting anywhere.

There were many requests like this, and some had been posted for over a month—New World had only been released for around seven weeks—and yet no one had messaged regarding them. Given this, the requesters did not raise the price, as that would not change anything—if there was no one who could take the request, it was not because of the price.

Su Mo memorized a few requests with decent payments. Most of them were material collection, and he switched to his pet’s account.

The monsters were still chatting, and when Su Mo logged on, they were talking about why players would not remain dead. In the end, their conclusion was that players were like monsters, and the System God had blessed them all with rebirth.

Su Mo started to sweat; he could not understand where these monsters’ intelligence came from.

Over his interactions with them over the past few days, his initial guess was that the game had incorporated some AI. However, to the ordinary player, this was just an ordinary game.

“I really admire big brother Pease; he will most likely rank up soon,” the silly and amusing Coyote Chief Kado said with a serious tone.

Su Mo, who was just about to speak, stopped himself. The term ‘rank up’ caught his attention.

There were indeed some Bosses in New World that suddenly ranked up for no apparent reason and changed their territory. Players guessed that monsters would receive EXP from killing players, but what was different was that they would not level up level by level. Instead, after their EXP accumulated to a certain amount, they would jump a few levels and rank up.
