Chapter 40: The Banana Master

[You have managed to raise the banana seed.]

[It became the banana herb, ready to share bananas with the world!]

[Your quest has been completed.]

[You have gotten the subclass; Farmer!]

Those system messages weren't useless nor rewarding by any means.

But Michu simply ignored those as his eyes had been glued to the banana herb he finally managed to get. It was his herb that towered before him and a fair share of bananas hanging around it.

The relief within Michu turned into excitement after other players' loud voices swept through him. All of them cheered and congratulated the monke, "You did it, Master Michu! I never doubted your abilities. You are the real deal!" The village guy was particularly loud.

The ladies silenced him with their glares, then chirped to Michu's ears, "Congratulations, Master Michu!" For them, it would take around a month to grasp all those abilities.

In the ocean of their cheers and excitement, Michu chuckled and raised his arms, "I did it! Hehe! It's all thanks to your support, everyone!" Even the scorching sun became gentler and Michu felt like it had patted his back!

He giggled to his heart's content, then extended his hand for the bananas. They were within his reach, so Michu's hands instantly got stuffed with those delicious fruits! The monke shared it with everyone to celebrate his first subclass.

"Eh… Michu, Michu, Michu…." Daria finally said something. She had been here all this time. Any player would recognize it by looking through system messages. If she weren't here, would Michu get the subclass?

She cast a warm smile at him, then it shifted into an encouraging one as Michu's feat was outstanding nonetheless.

The farmer passed through every player, then slapped Michu's sweaty back, "Those bananas weren't yours, were they?"

"Uhhh… Ahh… Yes, I have bought some from Old Man Hao-" Michu realized his mistake, but Daria cut him in.

"Even if that old man is experienced, his bananas can't possibly match the ones raised in our greenhouse. This place, if you haven't noticed it yet, is quite special," The sun was too much here, so Michu could connect a few dots, but he didn't want to make a mistake nor talk back to Daria.

He apologized, "I am sorry!" Then added, "But Old Man Hao's bananas are made with care and passion. He also works for his granddaughter, so his bananas fall just short of the royal ones!"

The players, especially those from the villages in real life, had a noticeable change of expression after Michu's words. All of them raised their voices, "We will pay for those bananas!" They were ready to give all their newbie funds!

Daria expected this, "Nope. Our monke can work in our farms, instead. Master, was it? From now on, you are a banana master."

[You have received the title, Banana Master.]

[Your farmer skill, Nourishing Water, gets additional effects--Banana herbs nourished by this water will grow and bring out bananas faster.]

"Amazing! Thank you so much! Everyone, I am no longer Master Michu, but The Banana Master! Haha!" Michu hugged Daria out of happiness.

If all former messages were rewarding, then this one made him feel fulfilled. He hugged Daria similarly to his mother and the answer he got was also the usual one his mother would give him.

It was rough ruffling. His hair got so messed up that the monke instantly used water to fix it.

"It's just the banana master title," Daria rolled her eyes, snatched the banana, and munched on it with a content smile, "Well, if you got rewarded with an additional title, then no one in the world can question your passion anymore."

Michu nodded a few times.

This gave him an idea. Because his monkey god's inheritor class was a secret that he needed to keep close to his heart, Michu often didn't know how to react when people called him monke.

In the game world, it made him nervous as people could connect some dots with unique or higher graded classes.

But now, he would just flash the banana master title and get over it!

"Michu! You got quests to work on this farm. We know that working here can benefit your skills. It should make them… evolve?" The villager guy asked others with his eyes and all of them nodded to his words.

For a newbie, it would be great to work here and make the same wonders as Daria did before. Michu would go around the banana farm, slap the ground with a stick and make them get higher quality bananas!

"I wanted to start my farm, but I can do it as additional training!" Michu replied to other players.

They blinked their eyes and then laughed out loud, "It's impossible to get land without backing, Michu! Even if you get one, you would either get uncultivated or too small for a proper farm!"

"I got land, though! Don't tell anyone, though!" Michu felt like sharing this fact with the players here. They were all nice people that worked together with him in this hellish environment.

Furthermore, they weren't players around his age, but at least ten years older. They were people whose eyes didn't contain many evil thoughts at all.

A human couldn't be without any greed or lust, for example. What mattered was that Michu never found these players uncomfortable and genuinely enjoyed his time with them.

Their advice was also great for the monke who was about to step into an adult world. He spoke about their first jobs and other stuff! It was initiated by players that took a liking to him, then Michu asked and asked, clearly wanting to change for the better.

He still told them to not tell anyone, though.

To these words, the players burst out laughing, "You sounded so serious… But you got a farm! That's nice. It means that our paths might cross in the future again!" The nice lady who often poured water on Michu replied with a warm smile.

She explained, "Michu, didn't you see how many people work here? It's because they have so many farms and lands under their name! Don't you want the same?"

"Of course! My banana farm will be the biggest!" Michu nodded with dreams concealed within his eyes. No one could dislike those eyes.

"That's why you can hire us in the future! Haha, I would love to see your progress by then," One by one, other players agreed to these words and looked forward to the future!

Michu didn't even feel like refusing them! "Yes! You can count on me!" He sent thumbs up and waves of laughter yet again flooded the greenhouse.

The farmer from this world spoke after this excitement wore off. She kicked others to do their quests as well, "Let's go outside, Michu." Daria turned heels and Michu followed.

The sun became even more supportive outside! It treated Michu the same like everything else within their eyes' reach; like a mother. Michu's face brightened with its support and he glanced at the glistening farms and farmers going around.

It was a great place with hard-working people!

"I can tell that you want to go to your land and try all tricks on your banana seeds, but hold your horses," Daria peeked at the gleaming monke and continued, "I am not going to hold you as captive here. Just promise me that you will visit here frequently." It was for both Michu and his banana farm.

As others said, farmers' abilities were meant to evolve faster here, so it would be a mistake for Michu to not even come here after his subclass!

He shouldn't get obsessed with his farm and absorb knowledge from others!

After all this had been said, Michu bowed and thanked, "You can count on me too, Daria! I will make your banana farms the best on the whole continent! Hehe!"

"It's good to dream high! Now, back to work. Don't fuck up, Michu, or this stick will slap your hands," Daria pushed Michu forward and both of them headed to the banana farm reserved for the royal and other noble families.

Although Daria could tell, just by the banana master title, that Michu's body held a lot of potential, she would have never expected what kind of bananas it would bring in the future. For now, her face wore a satisfied smile that enjoyed the time with the honest monke. It was always great to meet such energetic players.
