Chapter 28: Rhino Conquest! (2/2)

”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.
