I will be The Monkey God!

Chapter 3: A quest from the banana?

"This minimap is annoying!" Michu was greatly annoyed by the minimap floating in his right corner. It always followed him and disturbed his sightseeing. He wasn't also used to having such a feature, but Michu didn't know how to turn it off.

He also had many other windows that were all player features.

There was his HP/MP on his left corner and even chat not too far away from the center of his vision.

A quest log was also not too far away from the center, but it was blank and just irritating, "I should be able to turn it off! It's the freedom world!" Michu knew that he just needed to ask players for that.

"Hey! Can you help me?" Michu asked the first players he met on the road, then they told him how to turn it off nicely.

Michu was all smiles and thanked them loudly.

He then continued his trip to the banana farm.

The Four Leaf World was a fantasy world where threats lurked around even in the beginner cities. But one would need to be the chosen one to receive such treatment as most areas were connected through the roads.

Those roads were also cleaned frequently by players who just leveled up by hunting close to the safe zones.

"This is it!" Once Michu arrived at his destination, his eyes dilated with happiness as he spread his arms.

He found the banana farm in the rural areas where monsters were so weak that the farmers could deal with them.

The banana herbs spanned over a thousand meters and were so big that Michu's eyes turned into stars!

"Hello!" He greeted the farmer who worked on these bananas. This farmer was a middle-aged man who held a long stick with a net at the end. It was a tool used to get all those bananas and then sell them to the villagers and other poor people.

Of course, the nobles and royalties also used bananas in their cuisine, so this business was not that bad at all.

"Hello, young man. What brings you here? Are you here perhaps for the quest?" The farmer could see through Michu's identity as he had beginner clothes.

Those clothes were easily distinguishable together with the name tag that floated above Michu's head.

"Quest? Yes! I want the quest for bananas and this farm too." Michu put his hands on his hips and nodded with a wide smile, ready for any hard work.

The old man somewhat couldn't help, but laugh faintly at his honesty, "I don't plan on selling my farm. But you can work here if you want."

Ding!

Quest!

[Help the farmer gather all the bananas!]

[Use his tools to pick up bananas and gather them in the basket.]

[Reward: A stack of bananas from the farmer. You will begin the friendship with the farmer Hao and each hour spent on the work will give you ten stamina points.]

"I will do it!" Michu shouted.

[You have accepted the quest.]

"Thank you. I will come for the tool-" The farmer Hao let his tool go and turned around to bring one for Michu.

However, the young man shouted, "There is no need. I can climb up those trees!"

After he said it, Michu climbed up the tree like a monkey. He also could easily stick to it with his legs and extended his hands to pick up bananas one by one.

His eyes located the basket from the top, then Michu threw bananas one by one at it with shocking accuracy!

"If you fall from it, you will die! Aren't you just an Lv.1 Player?" The old man shouted, but Michu giggled and reassured him.

He puffed his chest, "I am tough! Even if I fall, I won't die!"

"Of course you won't die Aren't you a player? But the penalties for dying are severe. That's what I heard," The old man said, and only then did Michu realize he wouldn't die here even if he actually hit the ground with his head.

He would feel some pain, but even that would be mitigated.

"Haha! It's all fine then!" Hard work began then.

-

[Your stamina has increased by 10!]

"Here are your bananas Do you want to keep working here?" The old man asked.

Both he and Michu were sitting on the bench after the hard work.

While the old man used a fan to cool himself, Michu instantly pounced at the banana and peeled its skin in the blink of an eye.

He then enjoyed the flavor filling his mouth, "It's so much better! Wow!"

"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!]

[Your class has changed.]
