Chapter 3: A quest from the banana? (2/2)
”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!]
