I will be The Monkey God!

Chapter 56: More than friends, less than lovers.

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.

He also added Michu to his party and made him get the most EXP.

Unfortunately for Michu, he ended up losing his party privileges. It was probably due to the special realm or The Impossible Quest's rules. The snow had many usages here and it could even break the black magic!

It was white... So maybe white magic countered the black one? Michu thought as he enjoyed a good treatment from his new friend.

His eyes then dilated and an overly happy smile bloomed on his face, "Yumi! Sandra! Ah, Yakuzan is here too!" Everyone was together! The party wasn't lucky to find a cave, so they used the dense trees to hide their tents. However, they couldn't give up on monke and the party already had a few missions to find him.

Luckily for them, Michu found great assistance and he was the first one to smile and wave at them!

While it was great that Michu found them, the appearance of the handsome dude stifled Yumi's feelings. She hid her happiness and relief behind a mask, her eyes looking at Feng like usual. This was the glare of a snake, however.

Feng wrapped his arms around his lady and his status became clear, "Since you have found your party, we will be going. It's time for some romance..." He looked at his lady, his eyes wide to reflect her blushing face, "We will find an ice coffin and bury ourselves here, locked in each other's embrace for an eternity." He threw some weird line before the crowd, then flew far away from Michu, "Good luck, the lucky one!"

Michu shouted back, "Thanks, Handsome Dude! Good luck too!" Of course, Michu also would wish good luck to his friend. Even if the lady didn't have many feelings for him, she had a good pair of melons, so his friend should fight for the lady's heart!

He then turned to Yumi and nodded, "Hehe, it's good to be back! I feel at home now!"

"And I feel like in a castle," Yumi smiled, then halted as Michu suddenly blurted out something bashful.

"Hehe, do you feel like my princess?" He asked genuinely.

From the weird comparisons of the handsome dude, Michu had classified Yumi and Sandra as his princesses. He couldn't call them as such.

It was yet another piece of advice from Feng, but Michu already broke it.

Of course, Feng had been direct with this advice. By his reasoning, the princess becomes as such the moment she gives everything to her prince. It was his thoughts, but Michu couldn't stop asking. He also treated princesses as people that were just good people overall.

This was used cleverly by Venomous, "A little at most, Michu. And that's just a feeling. It happens that this princess had built her castle here too. It had been lacking so far, but with my prince, it will finally fulfill its " Fortunately for him, Yumi also used the word 'prince' a lot. As she extended her hand, Yumi pulled Michu to their camp.

Sandra was already next to them, "It's good that you have survived Michu! Our camp is hidden beneath the snow and no yeti can find it. This area also lacks snowstorms, so we can regenerate our stats and stamina safely."

Yumi sneered inside. Two tens! Of course, it was a mistake done by Sandra, but Yumi had long since predicted this. She was the first one to speak about her 'castle', but Michu was Michu.

He caressed his chin, "It looks big enough to stuff three people! If we lay next to each other, then we can regenerate just fine! Wouldn't it be lonely if one of us got excluded? I think it's also good to give a tent for Yakuzan and Kongfu! It might be uncomfortable for them to be with you. They are new to our party."

"What about us? Don't you think it would be uncomfortable for us three to be in one tent?" Sandra asked and whispered, "We can have some distance if it's two of us and..." Challenged by Venomous, Sandra was doing her best to keep him away from her. The fact that Michu disappeared upon teleportation shattered all her plans. And then, Yumi was the first one to rush after Michu's voice reached them.

It wasn't like she was that deep, but a small affection had been swirling around her heart ever since The Azure Forest's events.

"Oh, that's true... Sorry! I will be with Yakuzan and KongFu!"

"No, you won't. There's saying that the tent will explode with three monkeys inside," Venomous stopped the monke with some bullshit she thought in the spot, "It would hurt us if we were to lose half of our camp, wouldn't it?"

"True!" Michu believed her.

KongFu then spat, "First of all, I am the soul only." The second was that he was Team The Witch, "The tent won't explode. I also have to speak with Michu about something important for his class."

Thus, Michu and Yakuzan shared the tent.

KongFu also waved at Sandra and whispered to her, "I will give you a signal through black magic and just come in later. It doesn't matter if the snake will see it or not." He kicked her shoulder and returned to Michu.

Looking at the disappearing three monkeys, "It won't explode. Right? RIght?" Sandra chuckled as she listened to Michu's questions with a wide smile.

She whispered to herself, "He's so cute."

"I heard it." The Snake responded and welcomed the witch to her castle.

At the same time, Michu looked at KongFu, "Is it a new skill?!"

"Hmm? New skill? It's too early for you! Evolve at least one of your skills, brat!" He then put his finger into the nose, "There's nothing crucial to speak off." The Monkey God lost all his dignity, but it was like his home, so maybe all gods and kings had their 'unruly' days.

KongFu added, "I can give you a valuable lesson, though."

"Nice! I am all ears." Michu had been learning so much! He also planned to use one of Feng's pieces of advice, "I have to prepare a bonfire and sausages for everyone. It's such little gestures that bring the most joy."

"You show your attention this way..." KongFu said while drilling his nose. He then opened the tent and blew on his finger, "Anyway, you have to let these two be together more. Now that you did your job, you have to let time do its job too."

"Let time do its job?" Michu asked.

"I am not going to help the snake, but it's better if you learn it earlier." KongFu sneezed, "Harmony in the harem, son. Let them become more than friends, less than lovers. Lovers in bed only with you in the middle! Haha!" KongFu laughed, then coughed, "Not with the snake! Not with the snake!"

"That's right! KongFu! I have a question for you!" Michu repeated what Feng said, but the monkey god just glanced at him with blank eyes.

He didn't want to say that he didn't know an answer, so he stood shut as if lost in thoughts.

"It must be something deep... No wonder I can't understand it!"

"Uhu." Yakuzan nodded, making KongFu feel worse.
