The God's Games

Chapter 120: Special Quest (Part 2)

Master PungPong logged out to check the group chat and sent a private message to Pork Rib Boss to see if something had come up that prevented him from logging in today.

Unfortunately, he didn't get a reply even after waiting for a while.

The NPCs were ready for them to start the mission, but Pork Rib Boss was still missing, and Master PungPong was getting anxious.

Were they really going to have to leave their teammate behind?

Hanjun could tell what they were thinking just by looking at them, so he didn't rush the players to start the mission.

As for the townspeople, they definitely weren't going to rush the heroes either, so they just waiting patiently too.

Just as Master PungPong was about to make a call to Pork Rib Boss, he finally logged in, though in a hurry.

He hurried over, apologizing repeatedly, "Sorry, I'm late! I had some things to do at home that took up my time."

Seeing that he had clearly handled his business before rushing to join the game and didn't seem to want to talk much about real-life matters, the group didn't ask any more questions.

Noticing that the group was now complete, Hanjun walked over and asked, "Heroes, are you ready?"

Master PungPong nodded his head and accepted the quest.

Hanjun then said to everyone, "Then let's get ready to set off."

As he finished speaking, the town residents obediently began to move the horse-drawn carts.

Master PungPong was about to follow them when he suddenly noticed that Hanjun was sitting on one of the carts that was carrying the supplies.

Feeling surprised, he asked, "Are you coming with us, Hanjun?"

Not only were the players surprised, but Snowball also began to whimper when it realized that Hanjun was leaving Ulon Town and didn't plan to take it along, expressing its displeasure.

Faced with Snowball's whining, Hanjun could only comfort it, promising many good things before Snowball finally stopped complaining.

Hanjun then said matter-of-factly, "Of course, originally, Father Barry should be the one that will go with you, but since Ulon Town can't do anything without him, I'll have to take his place."

After he finished speaking, the nearby townspeople didn't dare to say anything more.

No one really knew why, but when the town residents first saw Hanjun, they were stunned by his appearance.

When Father Barry told them to listen to Hanjun, they agreed right away without hesitation.

Later on, they wondered why they were following the orders of someone they didn't know.

But when they looked into Hanjun's eyes, they didn't dare say anything more.

Now, seeing the heroes speaking politely to Hanjun, they assumed he must be someone important, and decided it was best not to oppose him.

So, Hanjun became the NPC accompanying them on this quest.

Master PungPong had always been curious about Hanjun's identity.

Now that Hanjun was traveling with them, his curiosity pushed him to walk over and ask, "Can I ask you a question?"

Hanjun who was sitting on the cart, swung his legs like an innocent child and replied, "Sure, but I can't promise I'll answer it."

Master PungPong was happy to hear the first part, but when he heard the second part, his face fell.

Still, he insisted, "Who are you really?"

Hanjun tilted his head and replied, "Why do you ask that?"

Master PungPong, imitating Spicy Flavor Fairy's way of analyzing things, said, "I asked the town residents, and they don't actually know you. Father Barry said you're a distant relative who came to stay with him. But if you're really his relative, why does he respect you so much and let you handle such important tasks?"

As he explained, Master PungPong thought he'd found a lot of holes in the story and was certain that Hanjun would reveal the truth.

But Hanjun just smiled and nodded, "So?"

Master PungPong who is facing Hanjun's beautiful smile is stunned and his mind suddenly goes blank, "So, so…"

Hanjun said, "Why don't you take a guess? What do you think my identity is?"

He threw the question back to Master PungPong, leaving him feeling a bit confused.

Spicy Flavor Fairy who is watching this scene, couldn't help but sigh.

Master PungPong had said so much but didn't really get any answers, only ending up more puzzled.

So, Spicy Flavor Fairy pulled Master PungPong back and asked Hanjun, "If we guess right, will there be a reward?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy had his own suspicions about Hanjun's identity.

After everything they'd been through, Spicy Flavor Fairy had learned to add a bit of incentive for himself.

Hanjun didn't mind this little scheme and nodded generously, "Sure, if you guess correctly, I'll grant you one request."

As expected, the two of them immediately received a quest notification.

...

[ Quest Objective: Identity Mystery]

[ Quest Details: You suspect Hanjun is not really Father Barry's distant relative. Hanjun has given you a chance to guess his true identity. ]

[ Quest Difficulty: Easy ]

[ Quest Reward: Hanjun's promise. ]

...

Spicy Flavor Fairy smirked, ready to reveal his guess, but Hanjun waved his hand and said, "How about you wait until this mission is over before you share your guess?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy agreed and held back his words.

Master PungPong, however, became the one who was confused.

Even though he seemed like he had things figured out earlier, he still hadn't guessed Hanjun's true identity.

He thought about maybe cheating a little and asking Spicy Flavor Fairy to see if he could figure it out.

But just as he was about to ask, a notification popped up in the quest interface, warning him that asking others for the answer wouldn't count as a valid guess.

Even if the answer was correct, it wouldn't mean he completed the quest.

So, Master PungPong had to give up, sighing as he rejoined with his teammates.

The journey to Lindblum City was destined to be very long.

Last time, it took them half a day to reach the bandit camp, and now, going to the farther Lindblum City would take at least three days.
