Chapter 2 As for careers, well, it's all about fate.
That was his older sister, Su Qing.
Su Qing was dressed in a smart combat outfit today. She is an S-rank hidden class, [Frost Valkyrie], and is currently a fourth-tier powerhouse.
Her icy blue eyes swept across the room, carrying a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.
She walked up to Su Ming, offering no words of comfort, but simply raised her hand and gently brushed away non-existent dust from his school uniform.
"You useless berserker, you're even giving my brother pointers?"
Su Qing's voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable power.
Li Hao's legs went weak from being intimidated by Su Qing's aura.
Although his family was wealthy and powerful, they were still far less imposing than the Su family, especially in front of Su Qing, a fourth-tier expert.
He stubbornly refused to show weakness, his neck stiff, sweat beading on his forehead:
"Sister Su Qing, I respect you as a fourth-tier expert, but what I said is the truth. Everyone knows that a [Rogue] is..."
Su Qing raised her eyes, her tone indifferent, and interrupted him directly:
That's enough.
"Remember, whatever profession my brother awakens to is none of your business, you're just a muscle-bound, brainless A-level professional."
"What's wrong with a lone wolf? He's fine with it. If he wants to lie down, I'll be there. If he wants to stand, I'll make the way for him."
She paused, a hint of mockery flashing in her icy blue eyes, and casually added insult to injury:
"Moreover, even if my Mingming were to become a free-to-play class, his original mental strength would be much higher than your physical attributes, which you've artificially boosted by the [Berserker] class."
"He simply chose a path where he wouldn't compromise his principles for a living. As for you..."
Su Qing's tone suddenly became stern, and the pressure of a fourth-level expert slammed down on Li Hao as if it were a tangible force.
"An A-rank [Berserker] with such a narrow mindset, his future achievements are limited to this point."
"You'd better go back and grind some F-rank dungeons instead of acting crazy in the streets, it's really low."
Li Hao was so shocked by these words and the oppressive aura that he took a half step back, his face turning bright red.
He knew that what Su Qing said was true; Su Ming's raw mental strength was the best in the entire school.
He wanted to argue, but his throat felt like it was frozen, so he could only turn around in frustration and slink away.
Damn it! Su Qing, stop being so arrogant! You're just a fourth-tier cultivator.
My father's standing in professional associations and the business world will sooner or later surpass your family's!
Su Ming, you just wait!
Individuals without a future have no future, and your family business will soon experience what it means to have a mineral supply disruption!
My Li family will absolutely not let this opportunity slip by!
As Li Hao fled, he thought to himself.
However, even if Su Qing heard these things, she might not care.
Then Su Qing turned around, extended her hand to Su Ming, and her tone suddenly became gentle:
"Let's go, Xiaoming. Let's go home for dinner. Mom made your favorite soup. We won't talk about your career today. We support your decision!"
Su Ming held his sister's hand, feeling the warmth and strength from his family.
He looked up and smiled politely at the host and the bishop:
"I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble. I'm pretty much a go-with-the-flow when it comes to my career."
......
On the cross-river bridge in Shanghai.
A limited-edition hovercar, its entire body crafted from black obsidian, is moving smoothly.
This car itself is a high-level defensive piece of equipment, priceless, but at this moment it is just Su Ming's means of transportation home.
Inside the car, Su Qing drove on autopilot while taking out a bottle of "life-giving water" worth tens of thousands of yuan from the car's refrigerator and handing it to Su Ming.
"Calm down. You were scared just now, weren't you?"
Su Ming took the water, drank a sip, and slumped back in the leather seat, striking the classic "Ge You slouch" pose.
"Scared? Sis, you underestimate me. That was a strategic retreat."
Su Qing turned around, her beautiful eyes filled with concern and a hint of confusion:
"Mingming, I know you don't want to suffer. But... that [God of Judgment] is, after all, a mythical being. Are you really... not regretting it at all?"
Looking at the bustling river view, Su Ming's lips curled into a cynical smile.
He gave himself a high-sounding reason for his actions.
"Regret? Sis, that's too narrow-minded."
Su Ming shook his finger and said in a disillusioned tone:
"Think about it, the title of 'God of Judgment' sounds impressive, but that person works for the Heavenly Dao. I, Su Ming, the son of the richest man in Shanghai, only need to do one thing in this life, and that is... enjoy life."
In his mind, however, he was having a fierce internal battle with the system.
"System, were you messing with me? I was really planning to give up, and you're forcing me to start working?"
System: "Host, please do not slack off. You bear the title of the strongest free spirit. Although your skill ceiling is low, the system can unlock [Universal Source of Laws] for you and simulate advanced skill attribute bonuses at the cost of your mental energy. Please actively complete the task; otherwise, the system will automatically judge you as slacking off and revert you to the Arbiter class."
Su Ming thought to himself, "Ah, Minos!" and retorted.
"You want to reinstate my profession? That goes against the user's wishes! Besides, it's common knowledge that solo players have a low skill ceiling; how can you play if you can't learn advanced skills?"
System: "Please check the newbie gift pack rewards: [Thousand Chance Umbrella (Bound)]. This weapon can be upgraded through the system to simulate the weapon forms and exclusive skill law fluctuations of all professions, completely breaking down the skill barriers of solo professions. Please operate with peace of mind."
Su Ming was deeply shocked. The Thousand Chance Umbrella?
Isn't this the weapon he loved most when he read novels?
He remained outwardly calm, looking at his sister with a hint of mystery in his voice: "Sis, I have a secret to tell you, but don't tell Mom and Dad."
Su Qing immediately leaned closer, lowered her voice, and her eyes shone with absolute trust in her younger brother: "Yes, you tell me! I promise I'll keep it a secret!"
Su Ming winked mysteriously, deliberately quoting Li Hao's sarcasm:
"Sister, Li Hao is right. The upper limit of a free-to-play character is low. They don't have attribute bonuses, exclusive amplification, or resistance, so they can't learn advanced skills."
Su Qing sighed with heartache: "Yes, that's why everyone doesn't choose independent players."
Su Ming changed the subject.
"But the reason why independent players are weak is because no one has enough resources to build them up. But does our family lack resources?"
Su Qing subconsciously shook her head: "I don't lack anything. I'm so poor that all I have left is money."
"That's right!" Su Ming slapped his thigh.
"A free agent has no class restrictions, which means I can learn all class skills. As long as the resources are right, I can wield forbidden spells in my left hand, sword energy in my right, be covered in priest buffs, and use the assassin's teleportation... Sis, isn't that way much cooler than that Arbiter who can only wrestle around killing people?"
"This is what you call—full class domination!"
Su Qing was stunned.
Although reason told her that since free-spirited individuals lack attribute modifiers, learning skills would be ineffective, looking at her younger brother's confident demeanor, she actually felt...
That makes so much sense!
"As expected of my brother!"
A gleam flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and she floored the accelerator.
"What do you call that? You call finding a new path! Those who choose god-level professions are just following the rules, but you're challenging them! That's incredibly bold!"
Su Ming felt ashamed:
"Sis, isn't this filter a bit too heavy? I really just wanted to be lazy..."
Just then, the system in my mind popped up again to make its presence known.
