Chapter 148: The Monkey and the Banana

"Na! Na! Have you heard? The Gold Coast is hosting a Coconut Fruit Challenge, just go to the Coastal Jungle and collect coconut fruit and bananas to get a lot of gold!! On the Gold Coast, a young man with a surfboard in hand excitedly shouted to his companion next to him.

"What!! 100,000 gold coins for a coconut fruit, 50,000 gold coins for a bunch of bananas? A female adventurer in a bikini next to the young man couldn't help but put down the beach ball in her hand and screamed out when she heard the news from her companion.

Then she noticed her gaffe, and when she looked cautiously to the right and saw that no one had noticed her, she whispered to her companion, "Is this news true?" You're not lying to me, are you? ”

"Of course it's true! What am I lying to you for? If you look around, the owner of Byron on the Gold Coast has put up many advertisements for the challenge in his shop and has waiters go around handing out flyers. We have to hurry, or it's not good to be preempted by someone else. The female adventurer's male companion explained in detail, and after he finished speaking, he took the female adventurer and hurried to the seaside pergola to sign up.

When many, many adventurers on the Gold Coast heard the news, they completely forgot their original purpose of coming to the Gold Coast, and one by one they wanted to make a fortune, and immediately flocked to the coastal jungle after signing up.

It's just that most of these adventurers' strength is below level 30, and only one-tenth of them are adventurers above level 30, and this coconut fruit challenge does not have adventurers above level 50 to participate in this coconut fruit challenge.

Maybe 100,000 gold coins is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, maybe it's a heart-warming wealth for adventurers below level 30, maybe it's a good income for adventurers from level 30 to level 50

But 100,000 gold coins are just a small amount of money for masters above level 50, and no one wants to waste their hard-won vacation time.

But the number of low-level adventurers in the adventure world is the largest, and within half an hour of the news spreading, countless adventurers have already poured into the coastal jungle.

The originally lively Gold Coast only has more than a dozen people left to enjoy a leisurely holiday.

Of course, not necessarily all of the remaining dozen or so people are masters, and there are also a few low-level adventurers with disabled hands and legs and limited mobility.

As for Nebula, who knew the news first, he immediately asked his teammates to announce the matter after he returned.

Originally, Nebula and his party came to the Gold Coast to relax, so except for McGonagall who did not make a statement, the other three all expressed their unwillingness to work.

However, the wealth is moving, and when Nebula talks about the rewards for participating in the competition, Yuta changes her previous tone and is determined to be a participant.

Anne and McGonagall weren't trouble-minded people, and with such a great reward, they couldn't say anything against it.

Claire was even more so, when she heard the amount of the payment, she immediately got up in full condition, as if she had pretended to be weak before

★?????????????????? ★

Between the Gold Coast and the Coastal Jungle is a magic circle that seals out.

Due to the extremely aggressive monsters of the coastal jungle, in order to ensure the safety of the native residents of the Gold Coast, and also to ensure the normal operation of the Gold Coast, Byron spent a great deal of money to have an inscription master arrange a magic circle at the junction of the two places.

Monsters can't break through the magic barrier, but people can easily enter the magic barrier to find ores, pick fruits, and kill monsters to obtain monster materials.

The coastal jungle of the Gold Coast is also a famous monster hunting ground, but its reputation as a resort is overshadowed.

"Usakh Jansankayi - Metsola!" Nebula unleashed another magic double-click, and the monkey monster let out a miserable scream and fell.

The monkey is an animal-type level 35 monster that loves bananas and rag dolls. Thanks to the influence of the Magic Tree of Latomyz, the monkey has been possessing magical powers ever since.

The monkey often unconsciously carries out magical attacks, has a bad personality, and once provoked, it will immediately eat a banana to regain its strength and throw away the banana peel in its hand, chasing the enemy. It has a relatively high magic defense and can defend itself with thrown bananas.

Monkeys have extremely fast movement speeds, and if the speed of the Wind Cyclops is 85 percent of the speed of a human of the same level, then the movement speed of a monkey is 125 percent of the speed of a human.

In other words, if you don't run hard, humans of the same level can't keep up with the monkey's movement speed.

Among Nebula's group, I'm afraid that except for Claire, who knows how to do light skills, and McGonagall, who is level thirty-five, neither Nebula, Yuta, nor Annie can outrun the monkey monster.

Looking at the somewhat panting Nebula, Yuta said kindly, "Nebula, why don't you take a break for a while!" Although magic can lock onto enemies with mental power, monkey monsters have high magical defense, and you can kill a monkey by attacking alone almost ten times, which is a waste of magic. All you need to do is unleash the Retardation and help us kill the monkeys, you don't have to fight so hard. ”

Xingyun wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and nodded to Yuta, it is true that the monster of level thirty-five cannot be solved by himself, and with his strength of level twenty-one, he can only be a supporting role.

Why did the Nebula Squad kill the monkeys? The monkey and the coconut fruit and banana of the contest should not belong to the same species, right!?

This is actually Nebula asked the waitress Liel about the banana and coconut fruit requirements before leaving, and after hearing the waitress's explanation, Nebula suddenly felt that the gold coin offered was actually not so easy to get.

The banana required for the challenge must be a monkey's banana, and the fruit produced by the banana tree is not very delicious, but once it comes into contact with a monkey with the magic of the Latomiz tree, the monkey's unique Latomyz magic will gradually flow into the banana.

Therefore, the monkey's banana will become more and more delicious, and the banana will gradually become one of the monkey's recovery items and one of the powerful attack weapons due to its magical power.

In order to get the monkey's banana, the adventurers can only kill the monkey before it eats the banana on its body, otherwise when the monkey eats the banana, there will be nothing left but the banana peel in one place.

It was difficult enough for the adventurers to get the monkey's banana, and the weaker adventurers were even crushed by the monkey monster's banana peel.

So why is the bounty for coconut fruit twice as high as for bananas? Could it be that coconut fruit is more difficult to obtain than bananas?

Well~~~ How to say it? There are actually a lot of coconut fruit trees, there are hundreds of coconut fruit trees on the Gold Coast alone, and there are countless in the coastal jungle, so you can say that you can see a coconut fruit tree in just a few steps.

It's just that among so many coconut fruits, only a very small part meets the requirements.

The fruiting cycle of coconut fruit trees is half a year, and it only takes half a year from flowering to fruiting, but this is where the coconut fruit tree is really special.

After half a year, if the coconut fruit is not picked, the coconut fruit will gradually shrink.

In about a year or so, the head-sized coconut fruit will shrink to the size of a palm, and the coconut fruit will be the more delicious coconut fruit that Liel and the others need.

On the Gold Coast, the coconut fruit has long been picked out, and it is only possible to find some coconut fruit that has not been picked by humans and monkeys in the depths of the coastal grass that is inaccessible.

It took a long time

The Nebula team killed dozens of monkeys in less than half a day, and the bananas they obtained were more than sixty bunches.

This is already more than three million gold coins, and even if five people divide it equally, each person can get more than 600,000 yuan.

However, people will always be greedy and insufficient, and Xingyun and the others are not satisfied with this amount, and after a short rest, Xingyun and the others are ready to go to the depths of the coastal jungle to pick some more valuable coconut fruits.

Xingyun and the others quietly passed by the territory of the red crab and the green crab, and did not provoke them.

The level 37 red crab and the level 41 green crab are crab-like monsters that inhabit the sand by the sea, and move very fast, faster than monkeys.

Red Crabs and Green Crabs have high physical and magical defenses, and low-level attacks are difficult to damage them. However, they are unexpectedly afraid of lightning attacks, probably because they live near water

Just as Nebula and his party were about to cross the territory of the green crab to the sandy land deep in the coastal jungle, they saw a scene that shocked them.

A green-haired boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a fist armor, beat a green crab incessantly.

The boy first used the half-moon kick to knock the green crab upward, then used the Hundred Crack Fist to hit the falling green crab to the trunk of the tree, and then the boy used the dragon to lift the green crab upwards again, and then the boy used the accumulated bone punch to fly to the tree again.

The trunk of the tree that was hit by the green crab cracked directly, and the green crab fell deep into it.

After the boy made up for the two hundred crack punches again, the green crab completely lost its breath of life.

Did you guess it? This boy is Shaya's childhood sweetheart, Kevin, who is a pirate.

Kevin, who had just been promoted to Rank 30, had come to the seaside grass of the Gold Coast in search of a challenging training place, and when he heard that there was such a Coconut Fruit Challenge, he signed up without saying a word.

Don't look at Kevin's father as the first mate on the Notellers, in fact, Kevin is just a poor boy.

Kevin's father was very strict with Kevin, and Kevin was already fully financially independent by the age of twelve.

So it's really nice to have a little extra money while training, and even Kevin, who doesn't care much about money, was a little excited after seeing the rewards of the game.

However, after killing a few monkeys, Kevin realized that he had a big disadvantage, and that was that he didn't have teammates to help.

Kevin could naturally kill the monkey alone with his own excellent strength, but when he killed, the monkey didn't know how many bananas he ate and how many banana peels he tossed, and in the end, Kevin didn't even get a bunch of bananas.

So he had to give up the monkey and go to the depths of the jungle on the beach on the coast, fighting red crabs and green crabs while looking for a more valuable special coconut fruit with expectations.
