Chapter 60: For my friends, I will become a gangster! (1/2)
”The Frozen Heart can help us enter the Ice Tomb. It probably means that we need a few more Frozen Hearts... But I and Michu have failed to get the quest for it, so...” Sandra pointed out what she understood from the message.
Venomous smiled, ”Yes. We are going to fight other players... There is a chance that others are waiting for us. We are people who have found a way to The Ice Tomb, but I wonder how many frozen hearts are needed to enter the Ice Tomb...”
”We will know once we see it! Let's go!” Michu raised his voice, clearly not being able to hold off his excitement.
It had been hard for him to listen to all those talks, but he endured while knowing that it would be beneficial for his future. As a player, Michu would love to go through all obstacles by fighting and using his staff, but that was clearly impossible.
The monke had to learn how to go through quests, find the clues, and make proper connections. He had been trying to learn that, but cases such as The Impossible Quest were just too hard.
His impatience brought a smile from Venomous, ”You don't have to think about the quest anymore. Just enjoy its content and leave the rest to me,” For her, it felt like a good step into their relationship where she would rely on his exuberant and genuine personality and Michu would be able to rely on her wits.
Alas, Yumi wouldn't be able to be with him in-game all the time. Their paths were different and the failure had yet to wave its hand at both of them. Though Yumi would love to see the success only, she wasn't delusional to think that the god was on her side.
At some point, the failure would strike either her or Michu. It would be yet another time for them to strengthen their relationship.
Thus, Venomous wasn't that worried about the future anymore. If there was one thing she was absolutely certain of, it would be her persistence to reach her goals. As long as her eyes remained on that, any failure would become an experience.
With such strong will, Yumi was sure she would be able to help Michu as well in case he diverted from his path or something unexpected happened.
”Follow this heart, Michu,” Venomous' cheerful voice pushed the monke forward, and together with Yakuzan, three monkeys guided the party.

[You have located The Ice Tomb.]
”Only the luckiest person would be able to find it,” Sandra and Venomous commented simultaneously, their eyes at the Ice Tomb that was surrounded by the four snow mountains. Those mountains weren't a rare sight and everyone could take a peek at them.
They spoke about the secret pathway within the mountain. Out of the four mountains, probably all of them had at least one. This pathway was well hidden, but it wasn't like The Frozen Heart opened its doors or unsealed it.
It just passed through the snow and that was it.
”I see yetis with red stripes on their backs!” Michu located the first enemies on the Ice Tomb. Currently, his eyes could see the blue and cold walls buried beneath the snow. Just a little was exposed to everyone's eyes.
The tomb spanned over a few kilometers so there were plenty of entrances to it.
No players were spotted so far, ”If we come close to them, we should be able to see their levels... We are pretty low-level, so unfortunately for you, Michu, but we should take things slowly. I believe some players should come out soon.”
”I agree,” KongFu commented. He rarely agreed with Venomous, but she was right here.
”Okay,” Michu didn't think of disagreeing with Venomous. He saw his enemies already, so the monke was ready to slap them if the need would call them.
His excitement increased, but everyone else was ready to keep him in check, ”Snake... You have to keep an eye on the snow. The equipment of this party is lacking, so if you hide for too long beneath the snow, then you will simply die through freezing.”
”We will keep an eye on our stats and HP,” Venomous didn't ignore KongFu's opinion. The snow falling around the Ice Tomb could be the first trial out of The Frozen Trial after all. She kept his words close to her heart and the party slowly dug through the snow.
[Ice Yeti Lv. 65 HP: 50000/50000 MP: 35000/35000]
”That is an absurd amount of HP and MP,” No one disagreed with Yumi's words. She didn't even feel like fighting against those yetis, their stats had deterred her enough. She looked for other ways of using them.
”The best way would be to use them against the players!” Michu got reminded about the time where that gangster planned to use other monsters against them in the dungeon. If the players were their enemies here, then Michu could only think of such an idea.
He didn't like the idea of going against the players if they were also here to try the Ice Tomb's quests, but Yumi had already prepared Michu mentally. Throughout the whole ice camp, she told him most players would go after him to get the item out of the Ice Tomb.
People such as Feng were rare.
”We don't know who is a gangster and who is not... Maybe if we fought together against those yetis, we would find a way to enter the Ice Tomb,” Although he had already prepared heart to face other players, the monke still wanted to find a way.
