Chapter 37: The Sun's torment!
"Hello! Nice to meet you! I am Michu!" With his loud greeting, Michu introduced himself to the farmer. It was a woman in a checkered shirt, denim, and straw in her mouth. Her melons were road and jutted out enough to gather a lot of attention.
She had a pretty mature and thick figure, so this farmer was popular among players.
Belonging to the royal family, her farm was not too far away from the castle that Michu had left just now. If not this, then she would reprimand him for calling her out like that. Each farmer had a routine that they needed to precisely follow.
However, the letter guiding Michu didn't escape her eyes.
[Michu Lv. 25]
"Nice to meet you… Are you here for a subclass?" The farmer asked and looked into Michu's eyes.
"Yes! I want a banana farm, so I need this subclass. Please, help me," Michu bowed, which was what Venomous told him to do upon greeting, then raised his face. His eyes gleamed with a desire for the banana farm.
His future relied on the banana farm and he hoped to make some money so that he could unburden his family.
If not, then he would go to part-job straight after finishing school. A few months were left for that burdensome school!
The farmer smiled widely, "Nice eyes. Initially, you looked more of a warrior, but I see that you are serious about the banana farm. You must like bananas that much to go for the subclass?"
"I love bananas! But I also want my banana farm to bring a lot of profit, so I can continue focusing on it! Hehe!" Michu's smile did its wonders and the farmer shouted at other players in the vicinity.
She said, "I will be taking this guy for some class quest, so you all do the rest." Her words initiated the series of quests that made both players and NPCs smile brightly. They all nodded to the farmer and sent her with their friendly smiles, waving their hands.
"Call me Daria. On my farms, we are on a first-name basis," It was a hassle for Daria to speak with her equals. For example, she would need to watch out for her tongue while speaking with Grand Master Sycla and all other important people in the royal castle.
Thus, her farm had a more friendly and rural atmosphere.
Some farmers were a bit different. The other one that had his farms not too far away from here was a serious man who took his job and title seriously. He was the boorish man that Michu would gladly avoid and so he smiled at how lucky he was.
"I thought he would understand me since he is a man, but it turned out that I am lucky! It's good that you have round melons!" Michu explained his choice with brutal honesty.
The farmer burst out laughing, "Weren't it for a high stats, these two would kill me in my early thirties with back pain. If your hands actually get a hold of some melons, then treasure those! Haha!"
"Yeah! I also work hard on my body, so that my future partner can be happy! Sis told me women like abs. Is that true?" Michu sent thumbs up and found some connection with the farmer.
To his question, Daria pulled a little of her shirt, "I do like abs and I even have some." She displayed a tough pack that left Michu speechless. She built her body so nicely that he felt like touching it.
Using his respect for the women, Michu stopped raising his hand and replied, "I have never seen a woman with abs! That was really refreshing and cool!" He found a new kind of respect and showered Daria with it.
She couldn't stop laughing at this honest and silly guy's words, "Show me yours." Michu did as she requested, "Oh, not bad. You are still young, so there's a lot of room for development."
"Hehe, thank you! That made me happier!" The monke laughed heartily.
The NPC and player's talk ended when the greenhouse spread itself within their eyes. On those, the wide greenhouse spread across a few kilometers and soon towered before Michu's eyes.
He found a lot of fruits and vegetables inside, but once he located the banana herbs, Michu's eyes froze. He kept his eyes on the banana herb and looked forward to the skills that would help him raise his own.
But for those to appear within his skill set, Michu would need to work hard.
"You have to realize how hard it is to raise a banana herb naturally. In our world, we are blessed with precise control over the soil, water, and other elements. However, it was different in the past. Our ancestors used to raise those without any 'magic'." Daria explained. "Thus, you have to follow their steps and begin from the beginning. At the end of your quest, you will be able to raise plants with just one sweep." The farmer smiled brightly and kindled Michu's heart. He nodded a few times and stepped into the greenhouse.
Many players were aiming to become farmers here.
Although all of them entered here in a different way, Michu flashed the same smile at everyone who glanced at him. He ambled toward the area filled with banana herbs.
[Farmer Subclass Quests!]
[Collect bananas using; hand, stick, and net!]
[Hand: 0/100]
[Stick: 0/500]
[Net: 0/250]
"Hehe! I already have experience with this!" Michu gleefully exclaimed, but then the sun poured down its sunrays at him. He felt heavier and the nauseating feeling quickly enveloped his body.
Looking at the bananas became harder and Michu couldn't accept it!
[The Greenhouse's burden has been placed on you.]
"Michu!" Daria shouted with a grin on her face, "You expected our class to be simple and light?" She laughed out loud and other players faintly smiled. They had gone through the same treatment and if not from Daria, then people under her.
She added, "Magic is part of our lives, but it was the enemy in the past! We have subjugated it, but the world still continues to surprise us! That's why we have to learn about our ancestors and primitive ways!"
Battered by the sun and basked in the loud voice of a melon farmer, Michu fought while mustering every will out of his heart. He propped himself on his staff, then looked to the sky.
The sun was blinding and the bananas could barely be seen by him!
Sweat soon invaded Michu's eyes, "Eh… That's so disappointing. I want to be a monkey god, but I can't even look at the bananas?" After rubbing his eyes roughly, Michu glanced back with red eyes.
[Stick: 20/500]
"Hehe! It's a challenge!" It was disappointing, but Michu erased it by challenging himself. Were the monkey god's path that easy, anyone would become one and laugh at him from the banana herb!
As someone who wanted to laugh the most, Michu braced himself and extended his staff.
His staff counted as the stick, so Michu first aimed to get five hundred bananas through it!
"I can do it!" Many players and residents wondered; how could the monke be so loud despite his exhaustion and sun's torment?
