Chapter 131: Greedy Steward Getting Slapped (Part 1)
Hanjun smiled slyly, thinking: If the God of Light had to do everything, then what would be the point of having these players?
Of course, he just remembered that he could have let the players beat up Saradin instead of doing it himself.
What could Spicy Flavor Fairy say?
The NPC already said the quest was complete, so there was no need to worry too much.
They could just consider it part of their supply run.
After all, with Flower Deer, the tech expert, and his analysis, they were sure to get useful supplies.
Mr. Turner also mentioned that he would tell his men to inform the merchant caravans to extend their trade routes to Ulon Town.
This would make it much easier for them to trade for whatever supplies they needed in the future.
As for the demons being defeated and Ulon Town building up its defenses, Mr. Turner would spread the word.
Anyone with the same goal would likely head to Ulon Town, which meant they'd have more people on their side.
Spicy Flavor Fairy thanked him for this.
Mr. Turner laughed and said, "What's there to thank? If I didn't have to look after my crew, I'd be heading to Ulon Town too. Defending against the demons is our shared responsibility."
Master PungPong was deeply moved by these words, and so were the viewers in his live streaming.
When he later ran into Hanjun, Master PungPong casually asked where he had been.
Hanjun nonchalantly replied, "Went to beat someone up."
Master PungPong was stunned—not just because Hanjun had replied to him, but because of what Hanjun said.
"Went to beat someone up?"
Who had he gone to beat up? Exclusive content from m,v lem|p,yr
They had just arrived in Lindblum City and didn't know many people, so how did he already manage to get into a fight?
Master PungPong wanted to ask more, but Hanjun saw the look on his face and immediately changed the subject.l, "Did you finish everything?"
Master PungPong instinctively replied, "Yeah, everything's taken care of. We're ready to head back."
Hanjun nodded, "Have you thought about how you're going to answer that question?"
Master PungPong dumbly asked, "What question?"
After being reminded by Spicy Flavor Fairy, he remembered.
Before they came here, Hanjun had told them that if they guessed his identity correctly, he would give them a special reward.
But throughout the journey, they hadn't come across any clues.
In the end, they had to rely on Spicy Flavor Fairy, who was the best at analyzing things.
The three of them turned their eyes to Spicy Flavor Fairy, hoping he could come up with a reasonable answer.
Spicy Flavor Fairy looked at his clueless teammates with a bit of frustration.
He started to piece together what he knew about Hanjun and analyzed the details of their interactions over the past few days.
To sum it up, Hanjun can make Father Barry listen to him.
Father Barry has never made Hanjun do any hard labor, so Hanjun's status in the Church of Light must be higher than Father Barry's.
Also, considering that Hanjun knows things even Father Barry doesn't, understands magic better than Father Barry, and can disappear without a trace right under Saradin's nose, his power is definitely stronger than that of an intermediate-level Warlock.
Based on all of this, Spicy Flavor Fairy guessed that Hanjun must be someone from the Church of Light with unfathomable strength.
However, just guessing Hanjun's identity from these clues didn't sit well with him.
Spicy Flavor Fairy explained all this, but Hanjun only nodded his head and said, "You said a lot, but it's not the answer I'm looking for."
Hearing this, Master PungPong couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
But he wasn't one to give up easily, so he directly said, "We have too little information. Why don't you give us a clue?"
This was the first time Master PungPong tried to bargain with an NPC, and it didn't feel too bad.
It was also because they felt comfortable around Hanjun, not like with other NPCs where there was a sense of distance, that they were bold enough to speak this way.
Looking back, it seemed like the game developers intentionally designed Hanjun as a main storyline NPC, where following him would occasionally trigger the main game plot, and his conversations were set up to match the players' usual way of chatting.
Unfortunately, Hanjun shook his head, dampening the players' hopes.
Hanjun smiled inwardly, thinking that these players still hadn't noticed some key details.
But it wasn't surprising.
They knew too little about the World of Eorera.
Even if they were given the quest to read the book in the Church's library, they probably wouldn't have the patience to go through all the content.
If Saradin and Viscount Hereford are involved, they've probably already guessed the identity that Father Barry gave to Hanjun.
Even Mr. Turner, who trades with the players, might have figured out the hidden details behind Ulon Town.
He might have decided to give the Church of Light some respect and build a good relationship for the future.
The players didn't notice this and just assumed some of the events were part of the system's pre-arranged plot, so they didn't take it seriously.
Hanjun clapped his hands and said, "Alright, everything's done. Let's find a place to rest today and prepare to head back tomorrow."
Master PungPong quickly asked, "Aren't we leaving today?"
Hanjun tilted his head, "Why would we leave today?"
Master PungPong said, "... Didn't you just go and beat someone up? What if they come after us? We should leave tonight."
Hanjun didn't say anything but silently stared at Master PungPong.
The thought of the God of Light needing to run away after beating someone up?
These players seemed to be underestimating him.
Master PungPong started sweating as Hanjun's gaze told him that if he kept thinking that way, he might be the next one to get knocked out.
After a moment of staring, Master PungPong quietly changed his mind and said, "Actually, I'm tired too. We should find a place to rest."
