Capítulo 42: Promotion
Chapter 42: Promotion
[Sandra: Haha! Thanks for calling me. I haven't felt lonely, but I miss our dungeon rides.]
[Michu: Oh! The dungeon is always fun! I have a quest to find a monkey and I heard there are strong monkeys in this world, so we can go together! Do you want to join me?]
[Sandra: It sounds like it would be just two of us.]
[Michu: Ah, I heard Venomous' subclass quests will take some time. I don't know about yours, though.]
[Sandra: It's nearly done. I went for Tactician Subclass, so you will see a lot of new and fun stuff soon! Good luck with your banana farm, Michu!]
[Michu: Hehe! Thanks! I will see you soon!]
The conversation happened just after Michu had arrived in the game world. Surprisingly, Sandra was already here, but he quickly learned that she pulled an all-nighter. A talk with him awakened her and filled her with excitement, so the witch aimed for some 24/7 gaming! Once in a while, it felt like a normal case for young players to just go for it.
The monke also became closer with the black magic. Though Sandra's player nickname was really long, he found out that he could give her a nickname and so he shortened the chat and called her Sandra here.
Now, the chat looked better and he trod toward his banana farm with complacency. Michu also felt good as he just invited his friend for one of his quests that they would do together. In real life, he was so limited, but the game world seemed to bend its rules to help him!
Michu just felt great!
On his banana farm, Michu greeted every soldier. He then squatted before the first banana seed that had been planted a long time ago. In this land, those couldn't grow. However, Michu and the soldiers wanted to try luck before Michu became a farmer.
Now that he had all those abilities, Michu began to dig around first. The soldiers helped him, their hands holding the shovels tightly.
With the gathered soil in the buckets, Michu sank his hands within those. His hands oozed out the ability called Rare Soil that was unique for every farmer. He continued to knead the soil, then added Nourishing Water next.
In this mud-like composition, Michu continued to pour down his abilities for around ten minutes. His mana depleted by 1/3 and he looked toiled already. However, the brimming smile on his face said otherwise.
Michu drank a potion, threw the dirty tube back to his inventory, then went to another bucket. He prepared the soil in each bucket, then soldiers again helped him to spread it across his territory.
The banana seeds found a new home! They instantly sprouted, but it was far from what Michu wanted! "I have a lot of water from Daria's farm! Today, we will see banana herbs towering around us like skyscrapers!"
"Hehe! Skyscrapers? The hell is that?" The soldiers spoke between each other, but all cheered on the monke's dream. Whenever he needed the support, the soldiers would come closer and fulfill Michu's requests diligently.
The first banana herb soon popped out with its maturity, "Ohhhh!" The soldiers exclaimed while clapping. It was not the first time they saw the banana herb or any other farmable seed growing up like that as the world was filled with magic and it was their everyday life.
However, the one who achieved it was the monke! All soldiers wore relieved and satisfied smiles, excited for him!
"Next!" Michu didn't stop! He had seeds, he had water from Daria's farm, but his anticipation was the main thing that pulled him around the banana farm.
[Banana seeds have been planted within your territory.] A message appeared out of the black magic system, then Michu's minimap flashed with a white hue. This hue turned out into 'Banana Farm' and proudly floated next to his eyes.
"Oh, okay." Michu nodded and continued his work. Additional messages appeared after, stating that Michu's hard work and his Banana Master class did wonders already. A grin spread on his face, then he continued to jump around.
A few hours later, Michu's banana farm had such stats.
[Michu's Banana Farm - 25 banana herbs had been planted. They have grown up and reached the ready-to-harvest state due to the monkey god's inheritor's skills!]
[340 bananas are waiting for you to harvest them!]
"Haha! Let's do it!" Michu pulled up his sleeves, clenched his staff, then prepared to slap the first banana herb with his harvest ability. However, the loud and overjoyed voice slapped him from behind instead.
It was Lord Fabian, the lord of this Mountain Cliff City! "Michu! Michu! I heard about your heroic tales and I couldn't wait to see you!"
"Heroic tales?" Michu turned heels and wondered with a hand caressing his chin, "What heroic tales?" His eyes looked over Lord Fabian while he strutted his way toward him. He used to be quite fat, but it seemed like those fat folds faded away alongside his stress.
His mine was visited more frequently and business bloomed like never before! The explanation for it was simple; the players assumed that mine had a lot of valuable ores within, conjured by the lack of interest from miners. The hunting monster was no longer here, so they lunged themselves in.
The entrance fee, pickaxes, and all other stuff required for mining were sold like hotcakes!
"Of course, your heroic tale of killing that Rhino has been spread through our city already!" No one wanted to lend help, even the royalties that Lord Fabian had been paying taxes to! With so many excuses weighing his heart, Lord Fabian believed that it was time to shift his business somewhere else! But now the mine he used to explore as a kid still could be used as his main business! He was just too overjoyed.
[Lord Fabian has upgraded your ownership over the land.]
[Your land has expanded.]
"Now, it goes all the way to the cliff, so that you can look over the beautiful sea and moon with Miss Venomous!" Lord Fabian patted Michu's back and blessed him with some money too.
Michu's title, peasant, also got upgraded, but it was a change that Lord Fabian never would have expected.
It was also hidden from him.
[Your peasant title has advanced to Bishop - You can begin Monkey God's Church here.]
Michu's eyes stretched and he found himself lost in this. It sounded epic and as if he became divine out of a sudden!
Though he would love to ask Yumi for help, Nana should be the one to look over it! Nonetheless, the time and Lord Fabian's happiness didn't allow him to unveil this sudden promotion and Michu got forced to attend the party!
"Michu! You became more popular, so we have to expect more visitors to your farm. You should hide your player tag." This would reveal itself if someone had malicious intentions, but players and even residents would think twice. You would never know; the player you wanted to kill might appear to be the resident, even the mysterious one that hides his presence! That would instantly kill any special route and quests; such a bummer!
"Oh, give me a second!" Because the system was black magic, Michu ended up spending more than ten minutes just on this small task.
He then said, "I promised we all would eat the bananas from my farm! Thanks for all your hard work! Let's eat, everyone! Hehe!" The first promise was fulfilled and everyone enjoyed the banana including Lord Fabian.

Capítulo 43: Monkey Gang
Chapter 43: Monkey Gang
"I will pass you more soldiers too," Lord Fabian said while munching the banana, "Our level can not be comparable to the abnormality called players, but my city is mostly visited by players around your current level." Thus, they could manage against players and protect Michu's territory in his absence.
For NPCs, it wasn't just log in and log out.
They needed to have their place in this world, a roof over their heads. In this different world, the residents also wanted to be a significant part of this world. A part of this was because of players that in the past used to call the residents bags of experience.
Michu's eyes and attitude had never revealed such thoughts, "Thank you!" The monke thanked the lord, then looked over his banana farm.
At the beginning of his journey, Michu's sole goal was to get to the banana farm! He wanted to sell bananas and share his passion with the world, but the primary force was to change his real-life situation.
The Monkey God's Spiritual Will made this real!
Now, Michu had two golden bananas in his inventory and planned to farm much more! He would sell them later on and see whether it would change his life as much as he had imagined in the beginning.
But this world was already something he loved too much. People he had met here were all nice and they never looked at his family nor friends. They were looking just at him! And though the meetings were different with many, a lot of good friends were now on Michu's friend list!
There were also bad people, but Michu didn't want to think about them at such a nice moment.
He got his farm and it would increase with more levels! What Michu wanted was another goal! Though his banana farm could fail him too, Michu wanted another goal that would still allow him to change his life; just in case.
"Oh, I know!" Michu laughed out loud.
-
"I am finally back!" Sandra stretched out her body, but to her surprise, the monke didn't react much and just laughed at her! His eyes hovered around her face, so she peeked at him with an interest.
It seemed like Venomous' incident brought these two closer!
She smiled and continued, "The first subclass turned out to be a chore of quests, but it's finally time for some action! But I have to ask first, are you two dating already?"
"Dating? Me?" Michu pointed at himself, but then shook his head, "Nope!" The monke wouldn't be able to be a good boyfriend anyway!
Sandra didn't push further. She could see that Venomous was different and Michu spoke good things about her, so she believed in the exuberant monke. It wasn't like she had to think about Venomous anyway.
The witch corrected her hat, then asked, "Don't you have warrior quests, Michu?" The question brought a faint grimace to the monke's face. He didn't have any mentor nor anyone to guide him!
But with the incoming quest, the monke planned to bring KongFu's spiritual will back to the world! This quest appeared so suddenly it had some meaning behind it. "Ah, I have a class quest! Haha!' Michu realized that they had been on their way for his monkey class quest, so he caressed his chin and added, "You will be surprised."
"Now, you made me curious!" Sandra pouted and sent a side-glance that nearly made Michu say his quest's content. She stopped before the fun would stop, then hummed along the way.
The confused monke asked the question he had been holding all this time, "Uh, you must be good with black magic."
"Black Magic?" Sandra tilted her head. She was called the witch by Lazy Bum and others picked this up too! But no way she would own black magic as it was a completely foreign fantasy world to her!
Michu then took out his system windows and explained, "So how do you... record a video? It's different from photos, right? I can't find it..." He rubbed his nose and awkwardly smiled. By now, Sandra understood what that black magic was!
She curled up her lips and brought her face closer. "I can't see your personal information, even in one party, so where is your window more or less?"
"It's here," Monke pointed, then sniffed the unique fragrance! Though he promised himself to not beat the drum around the women, he couldn't stop his nose! Michu ought to explain himself, so he said, "It reminded me about our dungeon raid! Hehe! It was fun." And he had more than a smell as he also held her back then!
Michu dropped the topic when he finally learned how to record his journey, "Thanks!"
"Are you going to make some samples for Nana?" Sandra asked with a little softer tone. It seemed like her expression of Nana was great.
Michu instantly bowed, "Thanks for spending time with my sister! She likes this editing!"
"No need to be so formal, Michu. I was also lucky to have someone to teach me, so it just feels right to share knowledge, especially for Nana who had taken great interest in it." Sandra ruffled Michu's hair and forced him to stand up.
He then answered her question, "I will give samples to Nana, but I want to get cool videos about my journey too!"
"Hmm~~" Sandra contemplated, "If you get lucky, then you might get noticed by others. Your style is fun-"
"Our dungeon ride was also fun. I believe we would be able to convey our fun to others through it!" Michu smiled, but nothing covered Sandra's face. She avoided his gaze and became a little too silent.
Looking down on the ground, the witch suddenly became someone else. Michu didn't know what wrong he said, so he just asked, "Is it no good?"
"It is a good idea, but... I don't think I want to be in your videos," The witch's eyes never retracted back to Michu.
He stood startled, her words reverberating within, "My videos? Ah, I am sorry." Taking the blame for his 'videos', Michu apologized and planned to drop the topic. He looked sad and Sandra couldn't bear to see him like that.
It felt like the whole world suddenly betrayed him and she was the catalyst, "I meant videos as a whole. I just don't want to appear on videos! That's it..." Sandra explained, but Michu already had a different impression.
People often said he had a stupid smile. They told him he was more stupid than a monkey yet he found those animals to be different! At this very moment, Michu couldn't think otherwise and blamed himself.
Even though Sandra thought otherwise and liked both his smile and genuine heart.
"I understand! No more videos..." Michu nodded and decided to bury this topic deep within his heart. He never expected to see such a Sandra whose excitement could be as loud as his!
Back then, they had run around and fought together against monsters just fine! This cold and distant appearance left a deep impression comparable to the scar on monke's heart...
In silence, Sandra tried to speak about different topics, "Is it a quest for equipment? I hope so because I can see you are using old and low-leveled robes."
"Uh, yes... No... This quest is different..." Michu replied belatedly and confusion seemed to grow deeper within his eyes.
He had various thoughts coursing through his mind, a heart bleeding as well. Was it too much? For the monke who lacked social skills, it was too much. He felt like he made a wrong call and he couldn't stop blaming himself for it.
His friend also seemed hurt and what could Michu do or say to fix it?
"Michu... It's just a video. Why do you have to look so sad?" Sandra also tried to fix it.
"Because... You are usually so cheerful and your smile never fades. It's a beautiful part of you that I just somehow broke... I can't forget about it." Michu replied and looked down.
It took a lot of courage for Sandra to utter her next words, "Just for us... You can make a video just for us... But no one else..."
"Okay, but it's sad you don't want to share your smile with everyone else." Even Nana or Venomous wouldn't be able to see it! It wasn't a picture that Venomous and Michu had which had both of them in intimate time.
"Is it bad that I want to keep it just for us?" Sandra inquired.
"No... It's not. But I feel like it would be fine to share between friends and our families. They would be happy, wouldn't they?" Michu smiled, "They would watch the video and laugh together with us! We all would spend time together..."
"..." A faint barrier broke within the witch's heart, "Keep this video just for us now... We will see later. Maybe I would edit it personally and I would prepare a surprise for Venomous? There's no need to be hasty," Sandra spoke. She looked better and even relieved, a faint smile lingering on her face.
As Michu's eyes never betrayed him, he looked at her with a relieved smile too. "You look much better, Sandra. Do you want to take a ride?" Michu pointed at his back.
The witch didn't refuse and hopped on him. With his hands tightly holding her legs, Sandra leaned down and enjoyed the monke's back that was far from uncomfortable. She peeked at his face and said, "We are going to Azure Forest, right?"
"Yeah! I heard there are monkeys here."
"Of course. But have you heard about the monkey gang?"
"Monkey Gang?"
"Haha! Read forum, silly... It's a unique pack of monkeys. They are called mini-boss of this forest and there's a quest to take them down."
