188 Everything Can Go Wrong

Misha received chemical boxes from Eva. As for Walter's money, she already transferred everything to his bank account. All that was left was that Misha had to bring these meth ingredients back to Walter, so he could cook more.

Before she returned to her master, Misha visited another place.

The Dragonewt Parthenon, the place where her character was first sp.a.w.ned. Also, it was a place that Misha had to scratch the G.o.d's toe.

Upon entering the temple, she found n.o.body inside.

Since Misha and Shurka were the only dragonewt players in this game, it would have been odd if other dragonewt players appeared here.

She got to the toe-itching G.o.d. Trolling the G.o.d, she scratched his toe again.

*Oh yeah*

A manly moan echoed throughout the temple.

Tama thought it was fun. She also used her tentacles to rub the toe.

*OH! OHO!*

*AH! YES!*

*OHHHH*

The moaning was getting out of hand. Several players heard the joyful cry, and they visited the temple to see if there were events.

Misha got embarra.s.sed by the G.o.d's moaning. She stopped scratching.

"That's enough, pervert G.o.d! Now, can you tell me how I can donate or tribute you to increase my karma?"

The dragonewt statue sighed as if it wanted more.

Misha took out the dead corroding zombie and a half-eaten player's body on the floor.

"Oh!?"

Misha could see a pattern with the offering system.

First, her earning karma would always be 1% of the offering's total strength, rounded down.

Secondly, for monsters, the amount of dust reward was 1:1 ratio to the monster's strength. However, for players, Misha could obtain ten times more.

This game might encourage PKing, but at the same time, it did not.

Killing other players would decrease the killer's karma, and the killer might risk exposing his criminal deeds to the city guards if he got caught. Meanwhile, taking dead bodies of other players had many perks to choose, either selling them to the mafias or trading them for karma and dust.

Misha could see many ways to enjoy this game now. She could play a good guy in public while she worked for mafias when n.o.body was looking.

'This is fun.'

*Meh-Heh Mew!* (Let's provoke all noobs in the zombie zone. Wait, let's attract more monsters to the crowded area, so we can loot dead bodies!)

"You're being a troll, Tama."

*Meh-Heh Mew* (That's how mafia works!)

"…"

Meanwhile, the onlookers could see the notification of tributes and rewards when they were the same temple. As a result, they saw Misha's logs.

"1500 Power monster!? She took it down!?"

"That explains how she levels so fast!"

"Who is she?"

"That player is Misha! She's the first ranker!"

"Really!"

"Look at that AK-47! No wonder she grinds fast!"

"The game has hardly opened for a day, but she's level 29 already."

"I'm only level 6 ..." *Cries*

Misha ignored the rumors and the crowd of newbies. She asked the G.o.d, "I would like to buy skills for dragonewts. Do you sell it here?"

>

"…"

Misha realized the gravity of her negative karma now. Even though she had a lot of dust, she could not buy dragonewt skills to upgrade her character.

This might apply to other shops in the city, and it would hinder her growth.

*Mew* (Let's go shopping in the mafia mall. Maybe they sell skill books there.)

"Ah. For now, let's return the quest items first. I don't like keeping the time-limited quests."

*Mew* (Yeah, like shelter 88's motto.)

"Everything can go wrong."

*Mew* (Yup!)

.

Misha left the temple and walked toward the slum, heading toward the dark forest entrance.

Unfortunately, a dozen newbies with nothing to do followed her, wanting to discover her secrets or a place to grind their levels.

Misha wanted to lose them and proceed to Walter alone, but Tama asked her to let them tag along.

She wanted to lead them to their death in the forest, so Misha could loot their corpses!

>

As Misha was walking to the forest entrance, Sasha sent her a friend message.

[I've found a place to register a guild, but it's too expensive. For a starter, a one-star guild requires 100,000 dust. Say, Misha. How much money do you have?]

Misha's feet stop. She opened her friend messenger interface and typed.

"About 5 million. How much do we need to create a guild? What's one-star? Are there other star levels?"

[WTF!? How did you get that so fast!?]

"I'm a 1337 haxxor!"

[…]

"Just kidding. I sold human organs to the mafias."

[Be serious.]

"I'm serious."

[…]

Sasha did not reply for a minute.

[We need 10 million dust to create a five-star guild. Also, we have to buy land and construct a building for our guild headquarters. The fund we need is about 50 million.]

"Hold it. You said one-star in the beginning. How the heck has it become 5-star!?"

[Shut it, banana girl! You are rich, so you should help other sisters! Find us 50 million dust, or else!]

"You're extorting me!"

[I'm being lenient here. Everyone is trying hard to gather the fund. Natalie and I only have like 30,000 dust after farming for almost a day. Since you know a way to make money but you didn't want to share with us, do us a favor, okay?]

"Eh, you want to know the way? I knew a few ways to make quick money, but you'll lose your karma, though. It's a risky method."

[Yes. Tell me, so everyone can help.]

"Okay. Be patient and listen to the end …"

Misha looked back and saw several players stalking her. Since they might saw what she was texting, Misha thought that she should get rid of these followers first.

Then, she spotted a patrolling guard in the slum area. He was smoking as he was hara.s.sing a thug.

Misha had an idea. She looked into her inventory and took out a marble, which worth 1000 dust.

Then, she walked toward the patrol guard.

"Excuse me, sir."

The guard turned to Misha in annoyance, "What? Oh, great. A f.u.c.king sinner. What the f.u.c.k do you want from me?"

Misha was taken aback by the guard's reaction, but she figured that it might be because of her negative karma.

Undaunted, Misha flashed her emblem, so the guard could see it. Then, she gave the 1000 dust marble to the guard.

"I'm being stalked by a bunch of troublemakers. Can you chase them away for me, please? This is a gift from me, so it will be worth the trouble."

>

The guard coughed and took the dust marble into his pocket, "Ahem, since you're a troubled citizen, then I have no choice."

He walked toward the stalkers and yelled at them, giving them threatening game notification that he was going to attack the players had they not left his sight.

All stalkers ran away in confusion and panic.

*Meh-Heh Mew* (Now, that's how mafia works!)

"Indeed."

It felt satisfying acting like a gangster for once.

Since n.o.body was looking anymore, she told Sasha about the mafia organizations and the location of the mafia center.

.

When Sasha learned about the mafia's existence, she was excited. Without hesitation, she pa.s.sed on this news to Natalie and Shurka, including other sisters who had just joined the game after Sasha.

Misha did not know what they were planning, but she did everything she could for now.

It also took a while to explain everything to her sister. When Misha was done, an hour had already pa.s.sed, and Misha had 16 hours remaining to complete the quest.

Getting the items was not hard. The time-consuming part was the sneaking and avoiding the high-level monsters in the forest.

'I should hurry.'

When Misha reached the forest entrance, she found a large group of players gathering.

50 Players were standing idly without hunting monsters while newbie players were chased away from the hunting area.

One of them was someone she knew.

INWTRUE Nemo Whale, who had resp.a.w.ned from death.

Since Misha had read many cliché VRMMO novels, she knew where her life was heading.

"Well, s.h.i.+t. Here we go again."

Nemo also spotted Misha.

"That's her! She killed me and looted our weapons! Kill her and take her guns!"

Misha had expected this, but she was cool-headed enough not to attack them first. By letting them attacking Misha first, they would get the penalty of lawless aggression.

But Misha forgot one fact.

"Hey, her name is already greyed. We can attack her without penalties!"

That was when Misha realized her mistake.

"c.r.a.p! Dammit, karma!"

One of the nearest Nemo's friends got close to Misha from behind while he was holding a steel pipe. He swung it at Misha, aiming to smash the back of her head.

Sensing the danger, Misha ducked, dodging the swing.

*MYA* (WTF!?)

Misha and Tama were frustrated. With these messages and the treatment, Misha might not be able to fight back.

Two more melee fighter dashed at her with melee weapons. They swung their baseball bats at Misha, but she dodged them again.

Yet, the same game messages appeared, telling her that they were doing the right thing.

Getting impatient from being on the defense, Misha unleashed her dragonewt's skill for the first time.

Flame Field!

The three players' body was lit on fire by the fire burst. However, the flame disappeared by itself, and their HP had not been depleted.

>

>

>

"This is not fair!"

Misha wanted to curse at Lilith to the face now. By having negative karma, she could not even retaliate against these players.

*MEW* (Run!)

As Misha did not want to risk lowering her karma further, she decided not to fight back and run away into the dark forest.

The group of 50 people chased after her. Some of them had AGI built character, and their speed was superior to Misha.

They caught up and attacked her again.

Tama pulled out a VIP item, a jetpack, out of Misha's VIP inventory and helped her equip it while she dodged all the attacks from the pursuers.

The moment she had equipped the jetpack, Tama activated it for her.

*FWHOOOSH*

Misha flew to the sky!

"DAMMIT! ANYONE WITH A BOW, A GUN, OR MAGIC!? SHOOT HER DOWN!!"

"HOW DID SHE GET THAT JETPACK!?"

.

By flying with the jetpack, Misha and Tama managed to lose the pursuers.

However, the danger was not over yet.

Before them, a pack of vultures was looking at them.

"Tama, do vultures hunt live prey?"

*Mew* (If they're uninfected animals, I doubt it.)

"But what if they're mutated vultures?"

*Mew* (Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.)

"…"

Soon, ten mutated vultures with 2500 power flew toward Misha.

"Welp. Everything can go wrong!"
