The two black dragonewts took the potions in confusion. Since it's free, they took a sip, thinking it was an energy drink.

Then, a miracle happened. Their lost limbs regrew from sewed wounds as they got back their missing body parts.

"Hahahaha! d.a.m.n!!"

"WTF!!"

They looked at their new arm and leg in shock. Then, they gazed at Misha in disbelief.

"Are you a G.o.ddess, lady!?"

Misha giggled, "Remember the promise, boys. Teach me every skill you have."

The two veterans were astonished. A few seconds later, they smiled at Misha.

"I'm a man of my word. I'll teach you everything."

"Me, too. I'll make you a f.u.c.king Super Saiyan."

>

"…"

For some reason, Misha believed that she was conned by the two dragonewts. At the same time, she had a feeling that their mastery and their name hinted something. A déjà vu feeling overwhelmed her, but Misha could not connect what these names and their specialties implied.

"I thought you guys were soldiers. Why are you a comedian and a cook?"

Walter shook his head, "You know nothing. Cooking makes the most money."

Arthur laughed, "Hahaha. Don't worry, girl. By the end of the day, you'll be a legend. Well, follow us. Let's get to our hood, so we can teach you our crafts."

Although Misha doubted them, she followed them anyway.

The two black dudes led a beautiful lady to a desolated area beyond the residential district.

It was the slum of mutants.

Had this been reality, Misha would not have followed them obediently as it was too suspicious. Even players who noticed Misha shook their head, thinking that she was duped by two black mutants.

As Misha looked around, she found many thin demi-humans, demi-hydras, and dragonewts. All of them seemed malnourished.

Moreover, she could not detect a sign of an eggcat at all. None of them had a symbiotic being inside their body.

'They are not the mutants I know! Something is wrong with them.'

They journeyed further beyond the slum and got outside of the city, walking into a dark forest to the west.

Before the forest, there was a signboard, "Beware of monsters."

Misha frowned as she glanced at her two new masters.

Walter took out a pistol and gave it to Misha.

"Well, the journey back to my crib is going to be eventful. First, show me what you're made of."

The pistol was loaded with live 9mm bullets, but there were only 12 rounds.

Instead of getting scared, Misha raised her eyebrows, "Will there be enough bullets?"

Walter laughed, "If there are more than 10 zombies, I'll take care of that for you. Well, a simple test for you. Kill 10 zombies as we walk through the forest. You can miss twice since you have 12 bullets."

"… Can I kill zombies with other means?"

"If you can, go ahead."

Objective: Kill 10 Zombies with 12 bullets or less.

Misha cracked her fingers and took the gun from Walter. She walked ahead of her two masters.

After stepping into the forest for 10 paces, a zombie groaned and staggered toward her. The number above its head was 400.

*BANG*

One bullet went through its forehead and exited the back of its head.

Misha's current status points were 449, which was higher than the zombie. Since the zombie did not get the game's buff, she could kill it in one shot.

Another zombie was attracted by the gunshot. It ran toward Misha.

*BANG*

.

After two gunshots, twenty frantic zombies appeared, das.h.i.+ng at the group of three at full speed.

Misha pulled her gun away as she whispered to Tama, "Nom-Nom time. Don't eat my masters."

*Meh* (Zombie's blood are dirty. I'll just kill them.)

"Meh, fine. Make it clean."

Arthur and Walter pulled out their guns to kill the zombies, but they were too late.

Twenty tentacles, exited from Misha's chest, turned into sharp spears as they drilled into the heads of all zombies.

Tama pulled back her tentacles into Misha's body, but her chest revealed a b.l.o.o.d.y wound that caused by Tama's outburst.

Misha's HP dropped from 65 to 20 in an instant.

"Ouch. That hurts."

Misha clicked her tongue as she forgot that she did not have that MBR skill on her. The auto-regeneration ability kicked in, but the healing effect was slow.

She wanted to take out a potion to take a sip, but it was a good time to grind her regen skill. So she left the wound undressed.

Arthur was worried about Misha when he saw the deep wounds on her body.

"Girl, what was that? What did you do to get those injuries!?"

"Err, don't worry. It will heal in a few minutes."

"That is not okay at all! Here, take your potion back and drink it. I only took a sip, and there's still plenty of potion."

Misha had a bitter smile on her face. Although she wanted to grind her skill, it was not the appropriate time.

She took the potion from Arthur and drank it.

>

A green number, 99,999, appeared above Misha's head, and all the b.l.o.o.d.y wounds disappeared.

>

>

Walter had a wry smile on his face, "Well, you pa.s.s. You can keep that gun."

"… Thank you."

"Let's proceed. From now on, we'll take care of all monsters on the way."

.

Proceeded for ten kilometers, they ran into many monsters with over 2000 overall points, but Walter and Arthur killed all of them.

Misha could not get any EXP from the kills, and there was no diamond drop on the corpses.

In secret, Misha sent a ticket to Lilith, inquiring about diamonds.

A straight forward answer came a minute later.

[Only hardcore server can get diamonds as loot. You are on a casual server, so you can only get them by buying from me or your local market.]

Misha clicked her tongue. This move by Lilith hindered every player from farming diamonds through killing monsters in-game. However, they could risk their life by joining the hardcore server.

As per the old saying, high risk, high return.

.

Soon, the trio reached an open field in the middle of the dark forest. A camping trailer parked there.

A broken Humvee without tires also stationed at the side of the trailer. Several dents, caused by bullets, could be seen from afar.

Walter turned to Misha, "That's my house, and that's where I work."

"Here?"

"Well, the smell is terrible for the townspeople. Besides, I'll get into trouble if I get caught cooking.

Arthur laughed and patted Misha's back, "Well, you'll be learning everything from us here."

Misha had a bad feeling about this setting. Still, she was enthusiastic about the progress. It had been a while since she had fun playing a casual game.

Walter gestured Misha, calling her inside his trailer.

When she got inside, she found a set of cooking utensils, a pan, and several laboratory gla.s.sware, which was out of place.

"What are these tubes for, master?"

Walter grinned, "Cooking."

"Cooking? With these tubes?"

"Cooking with science."

"…"

.

Misha was clueless when Walter began cooking and teaching her about his [Special Dish]. At first, she took notes about the ingredients and the process.

However, it did not take too long for Misha to realize that something was amiss. The ingredients were chemical substances, which was forbidden by law.

One hour later, she could guess what the special dish was, but she kept on learning, keeping her positive thinking.

Three hours later, Misha was in tears.

Six hours later, her face was expressionless, becoming a poker face.

Twelve hours later, the dish was completed.

20kg of mysterious glowing crystals were before Walter and Misha.

She turned to Walter, who took off his s.h.i.+rt and trousers, leaving him with the Walter Whitey Briefs.

"…"

Walter grinned, "Cooking is fun, yes?"

Misha spoke in a monotone, "Yes. It's the best thing in life."

"Good. That's the lesson for today. Come back tomorrow over here to learn something else from Arthur and me. Both of us are going to talk about future business in private."

"… Okay. But how do I get back to the town with all those 3,000-point monsters roaming in the forest?"

Walter slapped his forehead, "I forgot about this. Well, here. Take this."

Walter pa.s.sed Misha a package of [Meth]. The bag weighed five kg, which could be sold for 300,000 MWD in real life. Still, Misha did not know how much it worth in-game.

"Take a small crystal in the bag and toss it at a monster if one of them tries to attack you. Once they smell it, they will scramble for the crystal. Be sure not to let any monster seeing the entire package, or you're a goner."

Misha was at a loss. Her face turned into a meme poker face as she questioned her master.

"… Sure. So monsters in the forest are junkies?"

Arthur laughed again, "He cooked so many meths that all surrounding monsters got addicted to its smell. Do you know that some of the intelligent monsters come here to buy his stuff?"

"… Wut?"

"Oh, if you have a few leftovers in the package, you can give some of it to a wandering police officer in the town to solve your problems. Well, if you have problems with your neighbors that you can't fix it with negotiation, that is."
