Chapter 2: A long staff from Martial Artist

"Are you really one of the players?" The guard asked, his eyes looking suspiciously at Michu.

But the young man just tilted his head and answered this glare by glaring back.

He looked a little intimidating, but one couldn't think of him as anything else other than an idiot.

The guard sighed and spoke, "Welcome to the Four Leaf World." His job was to introduce the players from another world to theirs.

The Four Leaf World was the name of the popular VR GAME.

People who had reached the upper ranking became already like celebrities and had many people following them on social media.

Their presence had been already outshining many actors and singers, and it continued to grow every day.

But this game topped everyone's growth.

It was just an awesome game that already changed many lives and ecosystems.

"After you go through the gate, head to the east and you will enter the training grounds. Speak with the teacher with the weapon of your choice and get quests from him. By getting the quests from our teachers, you sign an unbreakable deal with our royalty family." The guard ignored Michu's stupid face and kept the introduction ongoing.

"If you dare to break this deal, then you will become the enemy of Royal Blue Blood and become an enemy in their governed lands. Your nickname will turn red the moment you return here for example."

"Are you stupid?" Michu asked.

The guard's face distorted uglily as if he just ate shit and his eyes could no longer bear that stupid face. He raised his hand and pointed it at Michu, but the young man just said, "I asked about bananas. Where are the bananas? If you don't want to tell me, then just so say! It's better to be honest! Lying is bad!"

"..." A silence was the proper answer.

"If you don't want to tell me, then I will ask someone else! Bye!" Michu left the guard alone, then some new players approached him.

However, he was cold faced and those players soon scattered to other guards that swarmed the beginner lands.

Those beginner lands were around the beginner city's lands, so one could say they were on the watch as well…

"Are you a trainer?" Michu asked the old man whose weapon was the sword.

This old man had seen many newbie players, but no one of them had asked this question. It was easy to tell who he was and if not, then there was still a name tag above his head.

Why would this young man ask him such a question?

"I am a martial artist, to be precise," The old man replied.

"Okay. So where are the bananas?" Michu asked yet another question, but the old man's eyes just dilated slightly. He looked at the young man with curiosity and a few thoughts flooding his mind.

Since even a little silence and weird eyes made Michu uncomfortable, he turned around and waved, "Bye! Sorry for bothering you!" He said what should be said as per his sister's words and threw his eyes around to look for other people.

However, the old man's sudden laughter stopped him, "You want to steal bananas?"

"Steal? No! I will work for the bananas, then buy the farm for myself." Michu replied, "Then I will sell my better bananas!"

"Why would your bananas be better?" The old man piqued as Michu was a somewhat intriguing young man.

"Because I will be Monkey God by then!" A high belief filled Michu's eyes as he shouted. Surrounding players glanced at him and laughed out loud, imagining something worse than the majestic Monkey God Michu had once seen in the library.

Though it was just for a few seconds as the librarian kicked him off the library because he had been too loud.

"I see. Monkey God? I haven't heard of him… But if you believe you have what it takes to become one, then go for it," The old man cheered and he instantly became a better person in Michu's eyes.

He returned to him and asked, "Thanks! Do you really not know where the bananas are?"

"The bananas shouldn't be your priority now. Even if you eat thousand of those from this world, you won't change into Monkey God. Those bananas, if I am right, should just be snacks or just part of Monkey God's power."

"Then what is the main part that will make me Monkey God?" Michu asked.

But the old man's eyes twitched, 'Did he think he would turn into Monkey God by eating bananas here?' He felt like rubbing his eyes but continued.

"A weapon to protect all bananas!" As the words of wisdom rang out, Michu felt like the old man became god too! He was like a good high being that helped mortals such as him!

He instantly exclaimed, "God! Thank you! I must get a weapon! I think the Monkey God used to have staff! Where can I find a long staff?!"

"A long staff? Hmm, follow me," The old man guided Michu to the weaponry.

A beautiful set of weapons spread on both sides, all placed in rows.

Those weapons were the quest rewards and rarely any players entered this weaponry. It was a rather grand event that most players would enjoy as it would raise their excitement and thrill of being the warrior in the fantasy world.

Michu didn't care about those and looked around for the staff instead, "Where is the staff? Weapon to protect my bananas farm!"

"This is the staff," The old man pointed at the wooden and covered with dust staff. This staff didn't look good at all and would make many question as to why it would even be here.

By looking at it, one would think of a pole rather than staff that could inflict a lot of damage.

But Michu reached out for it with a smile on his face, "Thanks!"

He grasped the staff and raised it high! No message whatsoever appeared in his player system, but Michu wasn't the person to care about it. He was in the new world, but Michu treated it just like Earth as the air and feelings were just the same.

It was also because Michu just had not too much world knowledge anyway, so he had been learning new stuff on his every step while yearning for the thing he loved.

"You haven't gotten any message so far?" The old man asked from behind, following Michu silently.

The reaction of pure bliss had been achieved just from giving the weapon, so it was hard to tell whether Michu got more out of the wooden staff.

Nonetheless, the old man didn't mind giving it to him.

He just wished him the best, "I hope you will become Monkey God in the future. You have what it takes to become one."

"Thanks! It's nice to know that someone else believes in me!" Michu raised thumbs-ups at the old man, then asked, "Where is the banana farm?"

"Oh, for that, you have to wander a lot. I will pass the farm's location through minimap." The old man used the player feature which literally forced Michu to open it for the first time.

A black map spread itself and flashed briefly with a red dot far away from Michu's current location.

He also could see some trials on the minimap, but this was a path he had taken already.

"No problem! Even if it had been even further away, I would've gone for it! It's the freedom I have here! Hehe!" Michu laughed out loud, then set on the adventure.
