Chapter 271 - Tired of it? Then don’t eat it, freaking bastard!

And if there was a chance that he and the Red Capes encounter each other, he would able to kill a few of them and still able to make an escape for it, bloodily of course.

But it's not something he should be worrying about. Instead, what worries him is Solitary Tempest, even though the woman seems to know how to defend herself, but that only works to regular street thugs and useless in the face of similar people like him.

Black Genesis noticed that Michael's expression didn't change much, and he said, "It seems like you're not even that perturbed after hearing about the Red Capes looking for you"

"I'm not. I'm more worried about Amanda's safety" said Michael.

"Then why don't you hire someone to protect her?" Black Genesis said like it was something obvious to do, to begin with.

"Like you?" Michael scoffed as he looked at Black Genesis.

Black Genesis looked at Michael arrogantly and said, "Yeah! But not me though, I'm busy. Look for someone else, or better yet, ask her to live with you"

Michael laughed, "Live with me? God, she's gonna kill me if I ask her that"

Black Genesis then just shrugged his shoulders and started walking away, but not before saying, "Well, up to you buddy! Not my problem anymore!"

Michael just shook his head, then he started thinking what Black Genesis had told him.

'The Red Capes huh? This is gonna be a bit of problem if I don't take care of this mess fast'

After thinking for a bit, he decided to put this matter at the back of his mind for the time being and focused on the current matters at hand.

But what Michael didn't notice was that someone was watching him and Black Genesis earlier talking in hushed voices.

'I wonder what the two of them were talking about that they were whispering about it like it was some deep secret or something' Solitary Tempest thought while watching Michael lifting up log along with a villager as they made their way over to the new ground where the others are busy dealing with their own task of clearing up acc.u.mulated snow on the ground that's been sitting there for hundreds of years!

"Okay, slowly! Don't rush, slowly put it in there!"

If someone were to hear those words and not seeing what they are doing right now, then it would have caused a great misunderstanding, even though Michael and other villagers are just working hard on slowly placing a huge log with a pointed tip at the other end, which is facing the sky in the hole on the ground that the villagers and players dug.

"Nice, great!"

The villagers and players who had just arrived a couple of days ago in the village smiled in satisfaction, then after that, they didn't stop for a rest as they continued lifting logs after logs and planting them on the ground, and their hard work slowly paid off as a quarter of the new wall they planned to build is slowly coming in sight!

Then lunch came, and two of the village ladies came to the worksite and started shouting at the working men.

"Take a rest now! Lunch will be served in five minutes!"

"Carter and you lot! Stop what you guys are doing and quickly have a short rest so that you guys can finally have lunch!"

"Anyone who doesn't listen to us will not be served any meals whatsoever!"

And those players and villagers who still weren't tired and wanted to continue forced themselves to stop for the time being. After all, not having a meal after some hard work would be torture, especially to the players who would slowly start becoming weak if they don't eat something!

"What's for lunch, Maria?" Solitary Tempest walked over to one of the two women dressed in simple clothing, which is clearly someone from the village.

"Tempest!" Maria smiled when she saw Solitary Tempest that her eyes even lit up!

"Well, today's lunch is mashed potatoes and bear meat stew with some vegetables added in it!"

Thinking about the meal today couldn't help but made Maria swallow his saliva, as she already can't wait to have a meal even though she was one of the women who cooked it and must have already had a taste of today's lunch.

"Stew again? God, I'm already tired of it" a player who somehow heard what Maria said, groaned on the side.

Maria looked at the player and narrowed her eyes and said, "Tired of it? Then don't eat it, freaking bastard!"

Then Maria walked away under the dumbfounded look of the player who was just complaining about the meal earlier.

"God, how come women in this village acts like they are thugs or something? I miss city life!" the player mumbled in dejection before he started walking towards the direction of the square like the others around them.

Solitary Tempest just shook her head, then she started looking around looking for someone, and when she spotted Michael in the distance, she quickly made her way over towards him while thinking.

'I should talk to Maria later and tell her that I want to help them with dinner today'

'That player was right, eating only meat stew for a couple of days straight is really tiring! I want to eat some steak tonight!'

Solitary Tempest resolved herself that she needs to help with dinner tonight!

Because food is life!

And one of the weirdest events in the game happened during lunch, with players and even some of the village men started sobbing to themselves as they slowly ate their meal.

'My God, when are we gonna stop eating meat stew!?'

'Argh! I'm so tired of eating this shit every day already! If I knew this would happen, then I should've learned cooking at least before coming here! This meal is killing me!'

'I'm gonna order some fries, burgers, and pizzas after this!'
