Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest
chapter-534

"Mom, I'm back."

My daughter quickly arrived home after I logged-off and went to buy some groceries in the market. Thanks to my magic and the ability to run super-fast, I was able to buy everything I needed in five minutes.

"Hello dear, how was high school?" I wondered, as I was cooking.

"Fine." She said. "Huh? Are you making fish? Smells nice."

"Yeah I'm preparing some fried salmon! It is fresh right out of the market." I said with a smile. "I'll accompany it with some rice and a fish soup with seaweed I'm making for the side. Can you tidy up your bed while it's getting done?"

"Fine." She nodded. "Did you do anything crazy in BNLO?"

"A-Ah… Well…" I began doubting if I could tell her.

"You're taking a while to respond, I can guess you did!" She sighed. "What is it this time?"

"Err… Well, I caught a certain, golden fish that can talk, and I made him my familiar, nothing much." I sighed.

"E-Eh?! Nothing much? A talking… fish? That's not something that has showed up at all in the forums…" She said in surprise. "Well, nobody fishes in this game anyways, I'm surprised it is worth anything more than just fish to make dishes."

"Hey! I've seen that fishing has many functions, there's higher level fish whose scales and bones can be used to make amazing equipment, and you can also catch powerful water monsters with high level fishing skills, also you can find some that have special crystal scales, or metallic scales. Strongest late-game equipment all use high quality fish materials to be made!" I said.

"Hahaha, well, if you're so confident then I'll take your word, mom." She giggled. "I'll be using your fishing services too!"

Oh, so that was her aim!

"Ah, here's my new familiar stats." I said, showing them to her as we started eating when everything was done.

"A-Ah- Huh?!" Elena was surprised. "T-This is… why is it so strong? You said it was a coward and a pushover but these stats… And the skills too…"

Even my daughter, a powerful Ranker in BNLO was shocked, I guess Goldie did indeed had a lot of potential.

"He's strong, isn't it? We'll need to help Goldie grow stronger though." I sighed. "I hope Silver can teach him how to Swim in the Air, or he won't be able to stick around with us in our journey."

"Hmmm, he's super strong so you better make him stay with you…" She nodded. "He'll come in useful when we confront the Demon King of Death."

"Oh yeah, about that… Well, I have an item that shows me when he's showing up, and we've got roughly half a month to fight him." I said.

"Only half a month?" Asked my daughter. "Hmm, well, we've gotta prepare then, once he shows up, tons of events will begin around the game. Like what happened with the previous one, you made your character when he had already showed up, but special monsters appear, like those Miasmic Beasts everywhere. I suppose Undead will appear now- Well, I think they might appear soon even before he shows up."

"Yeah, Titania told me she has sensed the presence of the Undead more and the world around is slowly beginning to be filled with Nether." I said. "So it might be possible he'll bring his Undead army sooner than later."

"Sounds fun." My daughter smiled.

Ah, I wouldn't say that its really fun… More than anything, I am quite worried! He seems to be prioritizing Earth for now, and his Death Generals had already manifested in here.

But I doubt he'll just limit himself to these forms of manifestation, he'll most likely, like the previous Demon King, bring armies of monsters to every single place he can.

And it is quite obvious he'll confront me too…

But for now, we've got to have a positive outlook at life. We've already managed to defend against the first attack, and we are already on the road to grow stronger.

By strengthening my territory and then finding materials to strengthen our bodies in Earth, things should be going rather fine.

I wish I could bring the territory powers to Earth, but that seems like something utterly impossible as of now… But maybe if I can develop Summoning Magic strong enough… maybe.

"Mom?" My daughter asked, as she found out I was spacing out a bit, thinking too many things at once.

"A-Ah! Oh right, I'll be uploading the video of the fish catch- Actually, it's already uploaded?! Ugh, did the Guider just published it without my permission again?" I sighed.

I checked the video with my daughter, and we were surprised. The video was uploaded just an hour and a half ago but it already had 70k views, and they were steadily rising.

The comments were mostly of people reacting in shock, there were several commenters asking how did I even became the friend of the Fairy Princess and the Fairy Queen to be leisurely fishing with them.

And others were shocked over the fishes I caught, saying that they weren't things they had ever seen before. Of course, the majority was commenting on how easily I ended taming Goldie, a talking fish.

"Wow you're rising in popularity fast." My daughter said. "I've never been into uploading videos myself… But you're talented, mom…"

"I-Is that so? I am only doing whatever, nothing much~" I giggled, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Huh? It's already at 80k views, gosh, your video is already trending on BNLO videos of the week…" My daughter was surprised. "A-And the top five are also composed of several of your videos…"

"O-Oh…" I was surprised once she showed to me.

"The forums are also constantly talking about you and what crazy thing you'll do next." My daughter laughed. "I guess I don't mind having a popular mom."

"I know it's good for the money but… this kind of popularity all at one is a bit overwhelming." I sighed, drinking a bit more of tea.

Once we were done having lunch, my daughter went to study, saying she'll log-in later. Meanwhile, I logged-in right away and decided to finally begin our small journey to the Dwarven Mountains.
