Bab 3: A quest from the banana?

Chapter 3: A quest from the banana?

"This minimap is annoying!" Michu was greatly annoyed by the minimap floating in his right corner. It always followed him and disturbed his sightseeing. He wasn't also used to having such a feature, but Michu didn't know how to turn it off.

He also had many other windows that were all player features.

There was his HP/MP on his left corner and even chat not too far away from the center of his vision.

A quest log was also not too far away from the center, but it was blank and just irritating, "I should be able to turn it off! It's the freedom world!" Michu knew that he just needed to ask players for that.

"Hey! Can you help me?" Michu asked the first players he met on the road, then they told him how to turn it off nicely.

Michu was all smiles and thanked them loudly.

He then continued his trip to the banana farm.

The Four Leaf World was a fantasy world where threats lurked around even in the beginner cities. But one would need to be the chosen one to receive such treatment as most areas were connected through the roads.

Those roads were also cleaned frequently by players who just leveled up by hunting close to the safe zones.

"This is it!" Once Michu arrived at his destination, his eyes dilated with happiness as he spread his arms.

He found the banana farm in the rural areas where monsters were so weak that the farmers could deal with them.

The banana herbs spanned over a thousand meters and were so big that Michu's eyes turned into stars!

"Hello!" He greeted the farmer who worked on these bananas. This farmer was a middle-aged man who held a long stick with a net at the end. It was a tool used to get all those bananas and then sell them to the villagers and other poor people.

Of course, the nobles and royalties also used bananas in their cuisine, so this business was not that bad at all.

"Hello, young man. What brings you here? Are you here perhaps for the quest?" The farmer could see through Michu's identity as he had beginner clothes.

Those clothes were easily distinguishable together with the name tag that floated above Michu's head.

"Quest? Yes! I want the quest for bananas and this farm too." Michu put his hands on his hips and nodded with a wide smile, ready for any hard work.

The old man somewhat couldn't help, but laugh faintly at his honesty, "I don't plan on selling my farm. But you can work here if you want."

Ding!

Quest!

[Help the farmer gather all the bananas!]

[Use his tools to pick up bananas and gather them in the basket.]

[Reward: A stack of bananas from the farmer. You will begin the friendship with the farmer Hao and each hour spent on the work will give you ten stamina points.]

"I will do it!" Michu shouted.

[You have accepted the quest.]

"Thank you. I will come for the tool-" The farmer Hao let his tool go and turned around to bring one for Michu.

However, the young man shouted, "There is no need. I can climb up those trees!"

After he said it, Michu climbed up the tree like a monkey. He also could easily stick to it with his legs and extended his hands to pick up bananas one by one.

His eyes located the basket from the top, then Michu threw bananas one by one at it with shocking accuracy!

"If you fall from it, you will die! Aren't you just an Lv.1 Player?" The old man shouted, but Michu giggled and reassured him.

He puffed his chest, "I am tough! Even if I fall, I won't die!"

"Of course you won't die… Aren't you a player? But the penalties for dying are severe. That's what I heard," The old man said, and only then did Michu realize he wouldn't die here even if he actually hit the ground with his head.

He would feel some pain, but even that would be mitigated.

"Haha! It's all fine then!" Hard work began then.

-

[Your stamina has increased by 10!]

"Here are your bananas… Do you want to keep working here?" The old man asked.

Both he and Michu were sitting on the bench after the hard work.

While the old man used a fan to cool himself, Michu instantly pounced at the banana and peeled its skin in the blink of an eye.

He then enjoyed the flavor filling his mouth, "It's so much better! Wow!"

"That's what they say… All players say that our world is better…" Hao commented, but this reaction reminded him that Michu was a player.

Because from the beginning, Michu had been genuinely hard-working and his eyes looked at the old man like a human.

A lot of players had a bad habit that made them unconsciously treat NPCs worse than humans…

They were, after all, just some artificial intelligence. Many called them tools for quests and even often threatened to kill if the NPC refused to give a quest.

The beginning of the players' invasion was called The New Era.

The whole world changed and its residents got the new power to give quests, see their status, and so on.

In a way, they were like players so that they could cooperate with them properly.

But many residents had been calling this new era 'the calamity' mostly because of the aforementioned reason.

"The Royal Families and Tribes had changed that, but players' growth is unstoppable… You will never know if their grudge is deep enough to make them return in the future with a higher level… I feel bad for some people…" The old man grieved…

"Old man, it sounds like those players also hurt you." Michu spotted the old man's pain through his countenance.

That was why he stopped eating and just asked, "Did players hurt you? Tell me their name and I will punish them in the future. By then, I will be the Monkey God!"

"Monkey God? Haha!" But the sudden declaration just turned the mood for better and more cheerful.

Hao kept laughing so much that Michu returned to chewing on the bananas.

After the old man calmed down, he wiped off his tears and said, "You have what it takes to be the monkey god! You don't have to punish any bad people, though. It was just war and our unfortunate fate that commoners were also pulled into it."

"The king ordered commoners to fight?" Michu said, his cheeks full.

"Yes. It was a dangerous time that shook the continent, but our relationship is much better with players now. That's why, you don't have to punish anyone, but just enjoy the world here. If anything, if you meet a lady called Mia, then she could be possibly my granddaughter."

"She is a soldier?" Michu asked curiously.

"She entered the magical academy to have means to protect herself." The old man replied and Michu somewhat understood.

He had been always relying on his toughness and strength more than anything else, so he could relate to the lady doing her best to get power!

"I am full!" He then dropped the serious talk, "If I meet her, then I will help her! Maybe Magical Academy has records of Monkey God? I should go here and ask people around!"

Michu's words sounded sensible, but no one has ever heard of Monkey God and people would mostly laugh at it.

The old man just cheered him on as any senior would, but Michu suddenly spotted the golden banana on the herb.

"Look, old man!" He pulled the old man's sleeve and made him look at this treasure.

It was the golden banana, its skin so shiny and glittering. The place it sprouted was kinda odd as Hao and Michu had already taken every banana from here.

The old man felt like there was some serious event about to happen.

He said, "Go and take this banana, Michu!" There was no need for any quest nor permission. It was the golden banana that appeared after Michu's appearance, so it should be his, to begin with!

Michu licked his lips, gulped down, then jumped onto the herb like a monkey.

He then grasped the banana, peeled off its skin like a glutton, then ate the banana in one go!

Ding!

Quest!

A quest from the banana flashed in his quest log!

[A Spiritual Will Of The Monkey God has manifested in your presence!]

The Four Leaf World was as the name stated, the world with four parts. Each Leaf had many continents and different powers.

However, every player could only enter one leaf.

It was something that the upper-ranking players began to learn just recently.

But here, on the low-level banana farm, Michu suddenly got a spiritual will from another leaf that no one from his world had stepped yet!

"I will be… Monkey God… I can do it!"

[You have accepted the quest!]

[Your class has changed.]

Bab 4: The Future Monkey God's family support!

Chapter 4: The Future Monkey God's family support!

[My name's KongFu. The Monkey God was my title. In the past, I used to split the continents with my staff and laugh at them from atop my golden cloud! Although the gods are incredible existences with the long lifespan, my life was unfortunately finite-]

Slap!

Michu slapped the system window as fast as possible, hence the speech stopped.

The Monkey God couldn't even pass his will properly as it turned into the system whose sole purpose was to guide the new player.

It turned rather too fast, but Michu just noticed the KongFu's title and his hand moved on its own.

"Haha!" He laughed happily and returned to the old man's side.

It was surely rude to the spiritual will, but Michu was a good man with proper manners. However, he often acted rashly and in excitement. But the worst thing was that he never heard of the spiritual concept, so Michu just didn't know that there was actually a person behind that golden banana.

Now that KongFu was gone and his will became the system for Michu, the former monkey god could only pray in the yellow river for the future's success.

The old man Hao was here to help Michu, "You should check your status window now. Don't return to your work and properly check all the windows." He repeated the last sentence, then went to push the heavy basket to his magazine.

But Michu couldn't bear to see the old man doing all this work by himself, "I will help you!"

He used his natural and young strength to carry the basket, then the old man Hao passed him more free bananas with an awkward smile.

"Thank you for your help, Michu," The old man thanked with a bow.

"My pleasure! Hehe!"

After the night's carpet took over the sky, Michu sat down on the grass and looked at the moon with big eyes, "It's different." The moon was different and felt bigger than on Earth.

Under its light, Michu opened the system window, his eyes spotting 'Monkey God' immediately.

[Class: Monkey God's Will Inheritor.]

Since the old man told him to properly look over everything, Michu clicked on this name and the new information popped off.

All that information was related to the natural stats he would get by leveling up.

[Monkey God's Foot could summon the clouds! Any Agility increase gets an additional 10%]

[Monkey God's Red Gate Staff could shatter the continents! Any Strength increase gets an additional 10%]

[Monkey God's Heaven Rising Cultivation allowed him to face the heavens! Any Stamina increase gets an additional 10%]

[Monkey God's Mortal Skin could endure heaven's tribulations! Any Defensive increase gets an additional 10%]

"Cool!" More Agility! More Strength! More Stamina! More Defense! What else could Michu feel other than excitement? He already felt strong in real life, but he could even bring it further and enjoy more privileges such as golden clouds!

He enjoyed those stats, but it was already late in both the game and the real world. As Michu often got scolded by his teachers because of his naps in the class, his sister put a strict order on a proper sleeping schedule.

He left the game by clicking the logout button and appeared in the real world.

-

"Mom! I didn't take any loans! I didn't do it because of jealousy! I am not like that!" Upon leaving the VR Capsule, Michu suddenly heard his sister shouting exactly these words.

Since she was loud and sounded rather angered, Michu quickly jumped off the capsule and closed up the distance.

"Little sister, why are you so angry?" Michu asked while standing before his sister!

He glanced also at his mom whose face was already wet from tears and pale from the shock.

Nana shouted angrily, "I am angry because a mother doesn't believe me! How could she think that I would get so jealous to take loans! I already know what those loans do with people!" She glanced at her mother with a mixture of anger and worry.

The mom just dropped onto her knees and uttered while stuttering, "You stupid... children… Who in the world would pay for electricity bills, give you all this stuff and even pay for delivery just to please you? They will soon come for money… I am sure of it…" Mom believed that those people would come to take back their stuff relatively soon.

They would also come for the interest made by these two by playing and using all those high technology stuff…

Mom just shook her head and let out more tears. She usually would just go to the bathroom, wash under cold water and just sleep on the floor for as much as she could before going to one of her three jobs.

But she just had no strength to continue, "You can't work… We are… We are…" As Mom was about to burst with tears, Michu quickly approached her, squatted, and hugged her tightly.

"Mom, it will be fine! I saw those people and they were okay! I didn't feel anything bad from them!" He reassured his mother.

"That's right! Michu has a good eye for people!" Nana chimed in. She then turned her laptop on and showed the picture of a handsome man, "Michu, is this the guy you met?"

Looking to the side, Michu nodded and confirmed, "Yes, little sis!"

Nana smiled with relief, "He is CEO of Yami Company. They are the ones that make those VR Capsules. I think they are one of the top three companies for that… Though I can't tell what's the difference between each capsule, I think such a person wouldn't have such a sadistic side to bully us. He also sounds like a guy who can throw some money around!"

"You can never know…" Mom wasn't convinced, but she felt better nonetheless.

Nana just puffed her chest out and said, "Believe it! Believe in Michu's good luck! We might soon change our life and have proper sleep and home to live with!"

"..." Mom just closed her eyes and prayed inwardly so that her daughter's words would turn true in the future.

She then stood up and said, "I will believe… That's all I can do."

"Mom, you should sleep in this capsule! It's really comfy here! Hehe!" Michu was glad that the bad atmosphere finally wore off. He happily laughed out loud and both ladies couldn't help, but smile faintly as well.

Mom replied, "It's yours, Michu. Just sleep here… Ah, are you playing The Four Leaf game?"

Michu nodded hearing her question.

His mother added, "One of my employer's children plays this game… Though he is from a wealthy family, his game experience increased his family's wealth by 20% in just one year… This game has a lot of potential and I often hear my employer and her friends talking about it."

Michu's mom's job was cleaner. She knew that the game could change people even more than Michu and Nana who didn't have much contact with television and stuff.

They could only hear a few things from classmates and news on the street.

"Awesome! I can do it too because I got Monkey God's Will Inheritor class!" Michu raised his thumb and reassured everyone in the house.

His sister raised her big eyes at him, "Really, big brother?!" She sounded so happy that Michu just awkwardly scratched his hair.

"Yes!"

"Then we have to make a profile for you on social media and hope you get as many levels as possible really fast!" Nana said, then pulled her brother to her laptop. She did some research to help her brother by scrutinizing the game's forum.

Seeing them two smiling and looking excited before the screen, mom's lips unconsciously curled up and she went to the bathroom with a warm heart.

So warm that the cold water didn't bother her for the first time.
