Chapter 71: All Sold

Privacy was often a controversial topic.

Many people didn't even know how much information they were unknowingly handing over. For example, social media.

Everyone openly shared their nationality and any important information.

While the former wasn't so bad, casually giving your address and other important stuff was kinda... stupid.

However, if their friends were mostly doing it, people also would just click 'Yes' after 'Yes' and agree to the most stuff that at best would make them pay a little price.

At worst, your information would get eyed by the snake.

"Big K... I didn't forget your name." Yumi's memory wasn't that bad. She was also an angel back in high school, constantly notifying teachers about his plight. His name was unforgettable as his bullying cases were severe.

Typing his name on social media, Venomous found out Big K's real-life information about his work. He was not that stupid as his address wasn't on his profile, but this idiot often relished how his work was close to his house.

He also had his girlfriend linked to his profile and all marriage plans were openly displayed. Of course, their affection in the form of photos was also seen by Venomous. It didn't take long for her to find Big K's address.

"Now... Someone who works with him..." The world was full of stupid people.

If they knew how their information was openly shared and used by all those third parties, those idiots would throw tantrums. Even if it would lead to nothing, they also probably would forget about it later on.

Social media was convenient after all.

Luckily for her, Yumi needed idiots that would expose Big K's manager principles. She was convinced that he used his authority here and satiated his needs to bully regularly. Looking at his girlfriend's photos, Venomous also could see that two birds flock together indeed.

Though it was wrong to judge based on photos, Venomous was nearly convinced that this woman didn't even take her job seriously and mostly spent time lazing around while her 'strong' boyfriend bullied others with his status.

She narrowed her eyes, then used another account to message all people that worked in this fast food!

"Grandpa... You wouldn't get angry... Would you? I can't rely on anyone... except him... For our future..." The cursed money was slowly turning into a blessing, even for Venomous. It was intended as such, but from all events that had happened, it all shifted in the wrong direction.

But Yumi began to use money more openly!

This was what drove people's hearts the most after all... Promising some money to those 'idiots', Yumi began to gather a lot of information and even evidence about Big K's wrongdoings that she would use soon.

After enough typing, she relaxed her fingers and sighed, "Now, in-game."

"Thank you for taking care of me, Daria!" Michu shouted!

He looked exhausted after work in the royal banana farms. He was soaked from top to bottom with sweat and his face was distorted. However, Michu cheered himself on every occasion, making himself louder.

One didn't need to be astute to see that something weighed on his heart.

The farmer lady threw bonuses into Michu's inventory, "Don't just throw yourself into work to forget about your loss." Daria's experience as an older woman poured onto Michu, "If you keep working with such a mindset, you won't progress at all. Evolution is a chance you must notice. How can you notice if your mind is somewhere else?"

"I am too easy to read..." Michu looked down sadly.

"You just didn't look at my chest even once. I also didn't hear 'melons' today." She honestly shared this observation with monke who let out a dry laugh.

"I see... Um, I think it would be worse if I tried to cope with my loss with your chest, Daria!" Michu also shared his view and both of them burst out laughing soon... He felt a little better, so Michu tapped the black magic and shared his progress.

The progress was about his work on the farm, but he also shared the golden banana concept with Daria. One of them was passed to her! This golden banana had a negative effect, but KongFu himself found it hard to tell what it exactly was, so it couldn't be used on Big K.

However, if Daria had some enemy, she could pass it to him!

"Banana Master... Your love for bananas is the real deal, Michu..." Daria said while appraising the golden banana. She hid it within her inventory, then used her reserves to fill Michu's inventory with the common ones.

Since he worked so hard for those, she inferred that Michu needed normal bananas for this particular golden one.

"It makes me think about your future... As a warrior, you also don't lack skills. How will these two classes mesh together? Will they even mesh or will it turn into a side-hobby with highly beneficial stats?" Daria's lips curled up. All smiles, she added, "If I get news about miracle lands, I will pass it to you."

"What are miracle lands?" Michu asked, his eyes big.

"Miracle lands? Well, that's a land where heavenly fruits grow. It can not be compared to this golden banana... but if your skills became higher, then maybe you would be the one to benefit the most from these," Daria explained a little, then said, "These lands are like another dimension, so it's highly dangerous. Excited already?"

"A little!" Michu exclaimed and giggled, "I look forward to these lands!"

The new lands kindled Michu's heart.

He had been focusing on the farmer's class all this time because of his loss. After the funeral, Michu should raise his eyes and go forward! His friends wouldn't like the current him, but all of them probably smiled at this moment.

Michu raised his red cap and said, "I will go to the city. I want to check the auction!"

"Sure! Thanks for your hard work," Daria patted his arm and added, "This red cap suits you." For the young and exuberant warrior, this kind of cap wouldn't be a good item. However, it suited Michu and it carried an unusual cold aura.

In this farm coated with the sun's torment, Michu's head was always cool!

"Goodbye!" Michu waved and pulled his cap lower, disappearing on the horizon!

Daria faintly smiled and wished him the best.

"All Sold?" Michu trembled after he checked the black magic screen.

By the time he woke up out of this stupor, someone's shadow invaded his private area. He turned heels and found a man in the white suit, looking at him with a warm smile. This was a middle-aged man and the owner of this auction house.

He apologized first, "I am sorry for invading this private room," In his eyes, no threatening emotion was concealed. His in-game nickname was Wealthy Merchant IX, but he introduced himself with the real name.

Michu blinked a few times, remembering Venomous' voice. Wasn't it a moment to make a valuable connection? He kept this thought close to his heart, then nodded, "I am Michu! Nice to meet you."

These words were too innocent and an unusual glimmer flashed past Wealthy Merchant IX's eyes.

If Michu had experience, then he would understand that this man instantly saw through him. Not only Michu didn't take a lead in this conversation after the introduction, but he also stared blankly at the wealthy merchant and just waited for him to continue.

But why would Wealthy Merchant appear here? Of course, that was because Michu had struck a golden chance and made millions! It was millions in-game currency, but it was still a lot of money!

Thus, if Michu was clever, he should've instantly created an advantage for himself. It could have been a slightly suspicious expression or just a question about this sudden appearance that invaded privacy!

There were so many ways!

Of course, Michu's innocent side could be one of those ways too.

Should it be the case, then Michu was one of the greatest manipulators! It wouldn't be a mistake to call him a pro!

But the risk was close friends in this business! Wealthy Merchant continued, "The mystery boxes were popular in the past. I believe there was a trend for those a few years ago. It's such a nice game, but also addictive. For us, it can be one of the promising businesses."

This man knew something that Michu didn't.

In the auction, the players could use many identities! It was fair as sellers also could just hide their nicknames to save trouble. Of course, Wealthy Merchant was associated with many players and he knew the real names behind those nicknames.

Why would he think of those nicknames right now? It was because there were two unique buyers to Michu's mystery boxes!

One probably did it out of the fun! He bought a box for fun as if one million gold coins were nothing for him!

That was the case, however.

Then, he shared the news with his friend and this friend was also one of the established figures. A pity was that there were only two boxes left! The rest went to less known players and even some randoms!

"We, players, have much more diverse gambling games than NPCs. It didn't take long for players to excel in this area. The most popular casinos are operated by players and often visited by established players and NPCs." Wealthy Merchant wanted to join that area too!

One would be surprised how many gamblers were here! A lot of people also sometimes just visited casinos for some fun.

You could meet a lot of people here from various guilds and circles!

This man wanted to have his casino! Michu understood this much.

But his next words shattered the feasible future between him and Michu.

"The top casino is operated by a player called Pinkish Fair Treat. She is not even one of the top 1000 players, but her family has so much money she can establish a few more businesses if she wants. Do you know about the Yumikazu Family?"

"Eh..." Michu mumbled out.

Didn't this man just speak about his savior's family? He also probably meant the lady Michu had seen together with his savior! Thus, Michu instantly thought about a way to excuse himself from this situation.

First of all, he said what Venomous had told him before, "You guys got fees from my mystery boxes!" Did he say it right? The man's face distorted funnily as if Michu's sudden words didn't make any sense.

The monke carried on, "Entering the private room is also no good! That's the gangster way of doing things, even if this is your auction house! Bye-bye!" He waved his hand and went past the auction owner!

Later on, Michu passed the news to Venomous. He told her that this connection was no good! He also planned to make more mystery boxes and contact his savior's sister just so that he could repay them just a little!

He would begin repaying their gratitude by helping with her casino!

Of course, it was not easy to contact her and Michu also had a lot of things to do! Nonetheless, he was feeling good now that he found a way to repay. It would be just a little, but his golden bananas should be one of the good gambling features!

It would be hard to repay everything at once! So this would be the first step!

Michu didn't think much of it, but wasn't their meeting in-game bound to change many things?

"So many zeros... How much money is it in real life? Hmm..." Michu's eyes soon stretched dangerously! "I can... help mom with this." Michu's smile bloomed!
