Chapter 56: More than friends, less than lovers. (1/2)
The question was weird.
For Michu and his farmer sub-class, the time was non-existent as he could raise the powerful banana herbs in just one touch! His eyes could effortlessly follow the banana herb's growth and look at their towering shapes.
The time was... nothing much!
”Don't forget this question,” Feng added with a content expression. He finished his meat, then raised his body from the ground. It was time for some action! In his hand, the pouch with silver crystals appeared.
He threw it to Michu and said, ”I can see my teammate on the minimap. It's because she knows how to move in this world.” The secret was that the snowstorms acted like signal jammers. The same went for the trees soaked in the snow! With these two things in mind, Feng's partner moved and her back always faced the cave's direction.
She could go around and hunt monsters that Michu had yet to see.
'Thank you,” Michu took the pouch, then instantly stuffed his inventory with it. Those crystals were light and didn't take much of his capacity. But as Michu often struggled with black magic, he spent a few minutes on it.
Feng used this as a chance to prepare some stuff. A pair of skateboards appeared next to him. These were made out of tough bark and shaved so that the snow would gladly enjoy their slides.
The Handsome Dude also checked his stuff, the necklaces with ice resistance and already known pills entered his system. He stuffed himself with all necessary items, then put his goggles on, ”Be careful with those crystals. It takes some time to master their usage.”
”I think I can do it!” Michu already flew by holding Feng's rope. He felt like three tries at most would be necessary. The duo left the cave, then the bonfire magically quenched itself. Its last spark began the eerie darkness within the cave.
”What kind of monsters can you see here?”
”Yeti,” Feng replied.
The word Yeti was not foreign to Michu and he had heard about it in a lot of stories. It either was the big and thick creature with cascading fur all over its body or muscular snow ape whose just face lacked, exposing his animal face.
In this world, Yeti was a little boosted, though. Of course, it was a creature with fur that could blend with snow, but it had six arms and was both thick and muscular. Its snow blue eyes were only revealed and eerie hate could be felt from those.
Michu flinched when he spotted the first yeti, ”Is it snow ape or not?” He asked himself a question to get a hold of his feelings, then clenched his staff! The monke was about to face off the first, but the red trail suddenly conjured itself before his eyes.
This trail was brought by the red crystal whose shape burst out with flames near the yeti! A powerful flame meteor landed on the yeti's torso, then Feng hurled another one, ”And another one.”
BANG! BOOM!
”WOW!” Michu's feet sunk into the snow, his eyes wide to match his shock. The explosion of this red crystal was ear-splitting, so how much damage did it do? Unfortunately, Michu couldn't tell because they weren't in the game party.
The burning effect on the yeti also desperately drained down its HP as if showing off.
”What's your class?” Was his class related to those crystals? Was he a miner and crystal magic holder? Michu's mind got flooded with rich imagination, but Feng just waved his hand and replied with a smug smile.
”Let's say...” He laughed, ”I am a rich boy!”
”...” At first, it was confusion. But this feeling didn't stay long on Michu's face as he smiled and replied, ”Good for you! That's an awesome item! Do you have more of it?” No hard feeling or jealousy could be seen within those brown eyes.
Feng took out the red crystal and passed it to Michu, ”I will leave just one for you.”
”It's a treasure then,” Michu nodded and hid the red crystal in his inventory. He then shuffled items within and took out a few silver crystals from the pouch. He then tried to take them out with the thought alone.
It was a high-level trick, but Michu had already spent more than ten minutes on black magic. Thus, the yeti died and no exp nor loot made its way toward the monke! Surprisingly, Feng also didn't like it.
He said, ”It's good that you want to try new things, but take things one by one. I am not going to be with you all the time here. My lady... I have to spend as much time as possible with her. Don't you get it already?”
”Yes! You have to see whether she has something nice within her that would make her fall in love with you!” Michu replied and apologized as well. He was in Feng's care, so he shouldn't play too much, but use the guidance from the higher leveled player instead.
Feng shook his head, ”Not exactly this, but you are close.” He then looked around for another yeti, ”You have to sink your staff in the yeti's blood. This should give you a temporary passive to ignore their thick fur.”
”That's helpful. Is it normal with monsters at a higher level?” Michu asked. The Yeti's level differed greatly, depending on the location. The highest level within their ranks spotted so far by other players was 65!
They were tough opponents to deal with, but if their bodies' parts could become their nemesis, then the same should apply to others.
”You would find the similar patterns here and here,” Feng replied, then his eyes sharpened, ”Look. That's our second prey... This time, move immediately after I blast its torso.”
”Understood!” Michu nodded, then prepared for the jump! He had his monkey god's ability that would probably evolve to bringing down clouds below his feet! How could he not fly and lose to the silver crystal's wind?
As those thoughts swirled in his mind, Michu's eyes narrowed... An explosion occurred!
BANG! BOOM!
In the next second, he threw the silver crystal down, then rolled on its powers that pushed him up into the sky! Once he stabilized himself mid-air, Michu threw another one and hurtled himself into the wounded yeti!
Below him, Feng exclaimed, ”This bastard! You should've told me you have flying skill!”
-
The monke and Handsome Dude flew and slid across the snow like professional athletes. They had been going on for so long that Feng's woman returned to his side! She hugged him and looked at his goggles, then at his body.
The lady also pouted as she said, ”I used all the crystals...” And did what most women could effortlessly. Whether intentional or not, women had their own charm. Some could bring the most out if by using all possible advantages.
The lady's finger made circles on Feng's chest and he smiled like a good boyfriend, ”You must have had a lot of fun. This time, I want you to share a little of it with me.” With such words, Feng made the woman hunt the most yetis.
