Chapter 52: Just wait

"Did you do it?" Yumi glanced at the baby monkey who had been glued to Michu so far. The old man behind this small soul glanced at Venomous with a seething expression, then nodded hardly.

She told KongFu to prepare one banana. This banana would bring positive stat for the buyer and news of Michu's bananas should spread across the beginning cities, the center, and even higher lands!

It would be like a gamble and everyone knew how addictive gambling could be. This kind of gambling could give promising stats, so its allure was beyond apprehension. Only time could tell how it would end up!

KongFu glanced at Michu and cast an incredulous gaze.

The Monkey God couldn't believe that Michu literally shared everything that had occurred between the 'monkeys'. The fact that he shared it forced KongFu to change his approach as he still had many doubts about Venomous.

Her tone was also stabbing his status; the heavenly one!

She didn't bat an eyelid while requesting him to do his trick. Worse, it was like an order! How old was this brat? Around twenty years old, if not just that! KongFu balled his fist, then punched an air and added, "There can be another service later on sold at the auction." He taunted Venomous.

To his taunt, Venomous narrowed her eyes. Not even five seconds passed before her lips parted to answer him, "Service to erase the negative stat? If it's too much of a problem, then players won't wait for you to appear." Yumi's voice paled KongFu who hadn't expected her to answer him that fast.

He then wanted to talk back, but Yumi just cut him, "It would be even worse if Michu's name and the level got exposed. High-level players would just hunt him down to get a cure, so this another service is not for later, but for the far future." The Snake inferred and turned her eyes to Michu, "Focus on selling. I believe it will be even more addictive than gambling."

"Haha! Thanks for your help, Yumi. You are so smart!" Michu smiled, patted KongFu's head then looked to the side. They were on the road, pulled by the carriage to one of the beginner cities.

Each beginner city had an auction, but each also had some guild behind. The guild had its own rules, reputation, and alliances. There was a wide net of those things that Michu honestly hadn't thought about once.

Venomous just told him that some ridiculous guilds banned players solely because they had participated in other auctions. This seemed bad for the business at first, but they were flourishing nonetheless.

So they were on their way to the auction that had one of the reputable guilds as backers. For Venomous, it was also an occasion to form some new connection that should come in handy at every level.

After all, an auction had various items and their requirements extended high. The auction guild also should have some connections to the center kingdoms and maybe even more. All in all, they should try to get some better equipment anyway.

"True! Yumi, you said something about the Impossible Quest!" Of course, Yumi didn't hide her thoughts from Michu and Sandra. All had turned their eyes to her including Yakuzan and KongFu who appeared in the new world just recently.

This Impossible Quest sounded like a childish tale one would tell to their brats for a good night.

"Impossible Quest. It's one of many quests that less than 1% of players had successfully walked through. What we, the rest of the world, know is that this quest takes a whole year to successfully complete." Yumi said some absurd words.

-

"It took a while!" Michu stretched himself as soon as he left the carriage.

The whole trip to the beginner city along his building anticipation caused him to complain about the lack of teleports. Many players shared the same sentiment and Michu just picked up their complaints along the road.

[You have entered Juvelia City.]

The beginner city bustled with activity as usual. Players teemed the streets, a lot of arguments and talks were mashed across the city! If it weren't for the wide streets, the players would find it hard to move, to say nothing of the residents.

The monke guided by Venomous arrived before the auction house. He raised his eyes at the tall auction house, smiled at the guards, then entered together with his friends.

One of the guards drew Michu's attention, "Keep an eye on that monkey." The funny-looking monkey, Yakuzan, shifted his eyes to look at the guard with a threatening gaze. His sunglasses fell slightly and revealed his undeterred eyes.

The guard laughed and patted Michu.

Michu just said, "Yakuzan is a good and smart monkey. If he were to do something bad, then I will take responsibility." The monke slightly bowed, then finally entered the auction. As other people passed through him, Michu felt at ease again as no guards should make problems for them.

He turned his eyes to Yumi, "What do we do now?" Yumi wanted connections, so Michu gave her a free hand. She just smiled sweetly at him and guided him to the room where Michu would be able to fight against the black magic.

This system was here for him to buy and put items on an auction, "We will make connections, but how do you plan us to get noticed without your bananas? The auction takes their share for service, so they will notice us in this way. Understand?"

"Hehe! I understand!" Michu nodded a few times, then the battle with the black magic began.

[After an hour.]

"Now, the price," Yumi uttered, a little exhausted. Of course, it was mentally as Michu's hands wobbled when it came to the black magic. His eyes and mind were worse, but he finally achieved the desired result with some instructions.

Now, all he had to do was to put a price.

"So, we can let our players start bidding at... 100 000 gold coins," Yumi said, then peeked at KongFu. Though this monkey god appeared just recently, he learned about the currency and gold value.

Hearing the number, he nodded genuinely to Venomous' rare probe. On the other hand, Sandra flinched at repeated, "100 000 gold coins?" That sum... was so astronomical! She couldn't believe her ears at the beginning.

Venomous then added, "An instant buy... One million gold coins."

"Jesus..." Sandra nearly fainted, then grasped Michu's shoulder to support herself.

This time, Michu didn't put the zeros immediately but took a good look into Yumi's eyes, then his eyes shifted to take a glance at KongFu. All of them were confident in this number, so Michu clicked on the keyboard, then accepted.

[You have put The Mystery Box on the auction!]

[You have put The Mystery Box on the auction!]

[You have put The Mystery Box on the auction!]

"Why The Mystery Box, though?"

"Because we don't know the value... If The Mystery Box doesn't sell, we can try selling the bananas in different forms later." Yumi replied, then said, "Now, just wait." She then caressed Michu's cheek and invited him for some fun in the city.

It would be mostly food, but Michu couldn't refuse.

Sandra whispered, "Don't forget about me."

"It can be a date with two women at the same time. It's a game after all," Yumi smiled, giving some weird ideas to Sandra, then all of them went to the city.

"Snake, you are forgetting this old god," KongFu raised his eyes, then threw a tail sweep at her. His efforts were futile, the snake was too perceptive! Those green eyes! Those green eyes always threatened him!
