Bab 53: Invitation from The Snake

Chapter 53: Invitation from The Snake

As KongFu was about to turn away, jump on the monkey boss and just disappear into the background, Michu suddenly exclaimed, "KongFu, where are you going? Did you spot something yummy?"

"What?" KongFu blinked and turned his eyes to the monke. Confusion was written on his face and his eyes asked Michu what the young man did! He had two women around him; one that had proposed a date while another accepted this three-way date.

How could even Michu think about him and Yakuzan?

The Monkey God glanced at Venomous and Sandra, then beckoned Michu to come closer to him. "When a girl says the magic word 'date', you don't think about other people." KongFu slapped Michu's cheek, then Yakuzan's cape.

Two monkeys disappeared on the horizon.

Initially, Michu was worried about their safety in this beginner city, but upon taking a closer look, his face eased and he turned his eyes to Yumi and Sandra. It was highly unlikely for some players to attack KongFu and Yakuzan as the royal guards and players on the watch would protect them just fine.

He took KongFu's advice to heart, then asked, "It's a date then! Let's just try every restaurant here! Hehe! It's on me!" Michu had some spare money and it was usually Yumi who had much more stuff prepared for an adventure.

Thus, Michu offered, but his two friends shook their heads at the same time, "We will pay for our stuff."

Sandra then laughed as she added, "And, it's unlikely for us to try everything. If you haven't seen players vomiting in the game yet, then I will keep the recording button close."

"Eh, I won't puke! I have never vomited because of food!" Michu retorted, but reality proved him wrong. After eating and sharing his stuff with his friends, Michu suddenly felt sick and a rainbow escaped his mouth like a waterfall.

Though it made him nauseatic, the laughter of Venomous and Sandra appeased.

"I didn't expect our date to be anything special, at least for now," Venomous faintly smiled, "But this is gold." The rainbow effect on Michu's stinky waterfall amused Yumi even now. She glanced at the pale monkey whose forehead was being wiped off by Sandra.

The witch also had a faint, amused smile. These two were closely sitting to the monke who had been looking at the sky with a heavy head arched back, "So that's how it feels... to be full."

While Michu looked absentmindedly to the sky, Venomous waited for him to get some strength back and asked about the auction. As someone who had put the mystery boxes on it, Michu could check it even from this bench.

So far nothing got sold nor people even looked over the items, "It's one big zero." Michu replied, with a self-deprecating smile. He thought highly of his bananas, but he had never seen his unique stat going off.

What if all those bananas turned out to be nothing more, but a scam? Michu would need to upgrade his farmer skills to get more effects! He wanted to surprise his family and show them that there was hope to change their situation!

One million gold coins were equivalent to 10 000 real money! It would change their life so much already!

"Don't be dejected, Michu. You can't be! Rome was not built in one day, you know? You have to be patient." Sandra grasped Michu's hand and sang some nice words straight to his ear. She also added, "It's best to kill time by fighting or training. How about we go to that... Impossible Quest?"

Sandra wanted to cheer Michu as much as possible, then brought up the Impossible Quest carelessly. This quest's name reeked off with hardships and Michu felt like hard work would be the key here!

His face lit up with expectations, then he turned his eyes to Venomous, "Let's go on this quest!" He then raised his hand intertwined with Sandra's, "Sandra will go!" A foreign to Michu's emotion swirled within Yumi's eyes.

It didn't stop her from answering, "We can go. Funnily enough, the Impossible Quest requires us to get a lot of food and other survival stuff." To Michu's blinking eyes, Yumi's emotions faded away from her eyes as she turned to Sandra, "Since you were the one to propose the Impossible Quest... Could you be the one to buy all the needed stuff? I can prepare a list for you."

The witch's lips trembled to this sudden jealousy. Unlike Michu, Sandra easily could see through it, but so far, Venomous hadn't displayed even a hint of it. Was it because of her hand holding his? That would also be a little too weird.

After all, Venomous was the one to casually mention the date. It was a date because of her words, actually.

Did Sandra mistake her emotions as Michu did? She questioned herself, but then agreed, "Sure, I will buy all the stuff we need. It's for our team after all." However, if it was just a game that Yumi wanted to play with her, then Sandra would enjoy it wholly, "Each player's inventory has limited capacity. We all are around level thirty, so I need help to pack it all. Michu, could you?"

"Of course! I will hold all the stuff for you, Sandra!" Michu agreed on the spot, causing Sandra to flash a wide smile at both him and Venomous.

The witch clapped her hands happily, "Thanks! Also, each of us should have some potions and other stuff for the monsters, so we have to split our items proportionally to our inventory's capacity. Since we don't know the number of consumable items yet, let's wait for Venomous to buy these while we two go together for survival stuff shopping." Sandra pulled Michu's arm, then even brought herself closer. Her chest slightly brushed past Michu's arm, but he was thinking more about survival stuff! "Is it a tent? Oh, and we need a campfire! So sausages too! Haha! It's looking fun already!"

"Yes! Let's have a lot of fun." Michu's attitude helped Sandra and she hugged his arm without much feelings behind other than her embarrassment teeming her heart. Her loud voice exuded excitement, but that was sole to Michu's ears.

Both of them waved back at Venomous who was left alone on the bench.

KongFu passed next to her, "Hah! Snake Bitch! Team Witch here!" The Monkey God showed off middle finger mid-air, then on his four followed Michu and Sandra. Yakuzan was also behind him, but he glanced at Venomous and nodded.

She waved her hand at the monkey boss then whispered, "Prince's arms often supported a lot of damsels." Her smile grew wider, "But there's one that has the whole prince wrapped around her finger." Yumi stood up and strutted towards the alchemist's shop with her smile gathering some attention from others.

She invited Sandra to a mini-game, so it was already fun that the witch didn't just say 'Yes' or 'I will do it' and played along. Of course, Yumi had her reasons. First of all, Michu couldn't be the only one working in this relationship.

If he were to sell golden bananas successfully, Yumi would do as she had promised. But who said that women also didn't want to touch too? Another crucial reason was that Sandra had changed.

From what Yumi knew, Sandra hadn't spent time with any other player and just did her subclass quest, then went to the Azure Lake with Michu. The change in Sandra's attitude received an invitation from the snake.

Would it backfire? Yumi didn't think it would, but she believed she would be able to make a comeback no matter what trick Sandra used.

If the future could speak, then it would alarm her, though.
