Capítulo 27: Michu's solo quest
Chapter 27: Michu's solo quest
"Hi, guys! How have you been?" Michu called out the soldiers guarding his territory!
They all turned their eyes at him and waved back with wide and bright smiles on their faces. Though Michu's territory had just one house built within and lacked a lot, the guards had been busy with monsters around and hadn't complained at all.
It was like a small vacation and how could they not like the happy monkey greeting them every day?
Not only did Michu have an infectious smile, but he was also diligent and spent a lot of time in the territory by chopping off trees, cleaning up the area, and mowing.
The soldiers spread their good mood across other soldiers in Lord Fabian's household. Many people were jealous of their time here, but Carlos and other soldiers never allowed others to take their place!
"Great! Are you alone today?" Carlos asked as he patted Michu's shoulder. He looked at Michu's level and his eyes popped off with disbelief… The level above Michu's head was already twenty-three, so the player should be able to get another class soon!
The farmer class Michu had been yearning for was just about the corner, "Haha! It seems like the dungeon raids are going your way, Michu! I am still jealous!"
Michu had spent a few days in the dungeon together with his friends. In the beginning, the four-member raid proved to be the real challenge. The players found many obstacles and limitations, mainly due to the lack of healer and tank.
What Sandra had imagined also happened various times. She had a privilege to enjoy the monke's back and rode on him a few times.
When Michu told the soldiers about it, they all snickered and asked how it felt. They wore armors and such a ride wouldn't be pleasant, both for them and the ladies. But Michu's case was different.
He wore leather clothes and his face was exposed. The melons that all men loved should've slapped the back of his head a few times!
After Michu told that he had indeed felt those, the soldiers inquired deeper. They asked whether he enjoyed that well and the honest monke answered with a nod.
Thus, Michu got swayed by their ideas and jealousy! He was on the path to get a long robe with highly defensive stats so that the lady's touch could be felt by him!
The usual routine the player went through would be leather armor, then steel armor, but Michu's flexibility and jumpy battle style would lead him to this kind of equipment in the future.
But since he was surrounded by perverts, the monke stepped on that path a little earlier.
"I checked the robes at the auction and they are really expensive! I decided to spend money on the potions! Yumi also spent some money on firebombs. Those bombs were blinding I couldn't see much!" Michu was already used to their jealousy and perverted remarks, so he just spoke about his dungeon raids and leveling up.
The monke was close to his farmer class, so he already spoke with a watering can in his hands, "How are my banana herbs?"
"Banana herbs grow naturally since there is no farmer in our ranks," Carlos explained. The banana herbs had been planted already by Michu and he just needed farmer class to speed things up.
With one wave of his hand, the farmer would be able to bloom those herbs into a mighty and towering farm! Just two levels separated Michu from this reverie!
"Haha! It's fine! We will have our farm soon! Guys, I have been thinking of helping Lord Fabian with his plight!" Michu's words brought all soldiers close to him. They surrounded him and asked about his intention.
It was no secret that Lord Fabian's business had been in a crucial situation. The nobleman had territory that spanned over many kilometers and the tall mountain belonged to him. In this mountain, the open mine had been haunted by the rhino monster.
The monster killed newbie players that were one of the usual visitors. The newbie miners wouldn't be able to protect themselves against this creature and even if the player turned out to be a skilled warrior, the rhino's dread continued to last.
There was also a reason why the higher-level players hadn't come here to solve this issue, but Michu didn't care about it. He wanted to try a solo quest without Venomous' help. She had been a great help to him, but he needed to rely on himself.
Even though he used a lot of Nana's advice in real life, she wasn't always with him to lend a hand. The same was in the game with Venomous, so Michu had to learn a lot of stuff on his own.
As he said it, the soldiers zipped their lips and didn't say anything more. The one who should make questions and properly assess the situation was Michu! They couldn't pass any known rumors and knowledge unless he asked them.
It was great that Michu didn't want to rely on the snake! The soldiers unanimously agreed and decided to follow him.
"Really, guys? You want to go with me to the mine?" Michu asked as it would be a great help! They had levels around 40 and he wouldn't be able to even face one of those soldiers.
The muscles didn't play here, but the stats behind those!
Carlos and the rest giggled, "We can go and check the mines! Your territory should be safe as we already cleaned up the monsters. It would take some time for them to swarm this area and no player should take interest in the territory."
"Thanks!" Michu reciprocated their feelings, giggled, and set off to the mines on his own.
It was time for Michu's solo quest. A quest that would bring him closer to the Four Leaf World.
On their way, the soldier asked, "Did you begin the dungeon by going straight into it?"
"Yeah!" Michu replied.
The soldier's lips trembled, "Uh, and how did that end?"
"..." Michu remembered the talk he had with Sandra. She was the one to pass all the important information to him. He also became closer with her as she had been the one to ride his back the most.
Venomous was the offensive that yearned to be higher than Michu, but she held her jealousy back well.
But that was not the point here! Michu understood! "We need information! Everyone, let's ask players around!"
"Michu… You didn't ask us what we know about rhino…" The soldiers' couldn't keep their lips zipped. Looking at the dense, but eager to work hard monke, they couldn't just let him embarrass himself.
The monke thanked, "That's true! Let's eat bananas and exchange information!"
"Sure. What do you know, Michu?" The soldier asked while munching the banana.
Michu replied, "Rhino is weak but sneaky! He has deterred many newbie players and irritated the stronger so that they gave up on him."
"I see…"

Capítulo 28: Rhino Conquest!
Chapter 28: Rhino Conquest!
"This is the mine," Michu said before one of many passageways scattered across the whole mountain. It was dim and no sight of players could be seen. However, the soldiers already told Michu that this was one of the least used entrances.
They would surely meet some people at the intersections!
Michu raised his eyes in the corridor. It was a little too narrow but high. The monke took out his staff and extended his hand with the staff in a horizontal position, "It would be hard to fight here." He said to himself.
Behind him, the soldiers nodded with contentment. Their good companion had been asking a lot of questions and he began to assess the situation and environment more. How couldn't they shed a glittering tear from happiness?
The future looked bright for this monke!
"This mine has many passageways, but there is also a wide-open area in the middle with elevators." Carlos added, then another soldier voiced out his opinion, "Narrow corridor isn't exactly disadvantageous to you, Michu. It will allow you to taste a different battle style where you would need to be careful of each of your steps. Not only steps but also your weapon and its position."
"It's a good training ground for me," Michu concluded.
The monke team stepped further into the mine. At first, the darkness embraced them, but the forgotten torches lit up in a pleasant surprise after a few passed meters. The torches were one of the magical items that slightly startled Michu.
He jumped back when the first torch lit up and his staff even threatened him.
"Haha!" The wave of laughter calmed down the monkey and he awkwardly scratched his nose! The journey continued forward and after taking a few more detours, Michu could spot the first player within the cave.
It was a newbie player that was fed up with other mines.
The popular mines were close to the newbie cities and they had been swarmed by players ever since the first day. Though abundant resources, the mine couldn't satisfy all players and a lot of arguments often happened between them.
The dropped core wouldn't straight fly toward the player's equipment, but first, tumble onto the ground.
"The worst is when there are some pests called thieves! This class is just outrageous!" The newbie player in the mine had been already talking with Michu for more than ten minutes. It was one-sided talk with the miner pouring down all his grief out.
Though many wouldn't like it, Michu enjoyed the new knowledge entering his mind. He felt like he had made significant progress already when it came to world exploration!
The newbie miner concluded, "To become a thief, you need 25 level! And those bastards first begin their class quests on us, newbies! What can we do if they target us?! I hate those bastards!" Kumo-chan, because that was his name, openly complained even at the end of his words.
He swung his pickaxe with all those feelings within!
It struck heavily onto the wall, then a wide crack spread on it. From within, a core with alluring yellowish glint popped off. It rolled onto the ground and struck Michu's boot.
"Ah!" The allure wasn't because this mine had such goods! It was because the core had at least a unique grade, filling the protruding gem with a myriad of stars.
It was already a beautiful core, so what would it look like after melting? Kumo-chan and the soldiers wondered inwardly while Michu picked it up.
He glanced for a second on it, then extended his hand, "Good job!" He giggled and stuffed the miner's hands with the dirty core.
Kumo-chan raised his eyes with disbelief, "Aren't you… going to-"
"You have worked hard for it! Isn't it great to finally see the fruits of your hard work? Why do you look so weird? Haha!" The monkey's words erased Kumo-chan's disbelief.
It got replaced by a sudden outburst of emotions, "What the hell! Look at me! I am so happy! So happy I am crying! Stupid good guy… Don't you dare to go for the thief subclass! You wouldn't be a good thief anyway!" Kumo-chan shouted while wiping his falling tears.
The soldiers faintly smiled, then Carlos patted Michu's shoulder.
"Haha! I would never become a gangster!" Michu smiled and thanked the miner for his time. He waved back at him, then entered further into the mine. On his way, he exclaimed, "I think Yumi would praise me if she knew! I will surprise her with this thief story and their bad deeds."
"Oh, I am sure she will be glad!" Carlos snickered, "Maybe she would kiss you on a cheek? No matter how scary her eyes are, she is a top beauty! That would be the best reward, wouldn't it be, Michu?"
"A kiss! Hehe, I will ask for a strawberry kiss." Michu responded. For him, the lips were like tasty strawberries unique to the ladies. When one of the popular female players puckered their lips, Michu would enter into a dilemma where to look! Melons or strawberries? The former was the most eye-catching, but things often changed after enough exploration.
The soldiers learned about the strawberry term and nodded with an understanding.
After a few rounds, Michu entered one of the lowest floors that lacked players. The torches lit up only due to him and the soldiers, conjuring an eerie scene with the coldness and silence dominating the whole area.
It felt weird as even those torches lacked any sound as if the flames were scared as well.
"Rhino must be here. He is lurking around…" Michu caressed his chin while looking around. He couldn't find any signs of the monster other than the cold silence and his wits finding the whole case weird.
The ground then shook and Rhino pounced out from the wall! It aimed from the side, its tall and huge horn shattering the wall first! Its wild head shook off all pebbles off his head, but the soldiers were already alerted by this sudden entrance.
Furthermore, Michu also knew the monster's pattern, "Thanks, guys! I think I would've been flung away if not for you!" Even though he knew, Michu felt like he would lose around half of his HP if this monster were to hit him like that.
He thanked the soldiers, then probed through his enemy's stats.
