Chapter 42: Building The Stone Wall (Part 2)
Of course, he was counting on the players's creativity to make it happen.
Hanjun spoke confidently, but to Father Barry, the task seemed incredibly difficult.
However, trusting Hanjun, he pushed aside his doubts about the God of Light.
As they talked, Hanjun noticed that the players were starting to return from their meals and were heading toward them.
Hanjun gave Father Barry a look, and Father Barry quickly returned to their usual behavior in public.
Sure enough, Master PungPong cautiously approached them.
Their conversation was interrupted, and Father Barry wasn't pleased.
He responded coldly toward Master PungPong's attempts to probe for information, but Master PungPong didn't mind his unfriendly attitude and walked away, feeling a little bit disappointed.
Father Barry looked back and noticed that Hanjun had already left while he was talking to Master PungPong.
From Hanjun's attitude, it was clear that he truly trusted the players to complete the task.
With no other choice, Father Barry decided to trust Hanjun's judgment.

After Spicy Flavor Fairy finished speaking, his teammates focused on him, waiting for his analysis.
They waited for a while, but when he still hadn't explained it, Flower Deer couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think it's not that simple?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy was pleased that someone finally asked and answered, "Looking at the task progress, this quest is, once again, a shared quest for all players. But this quest is different from the last one. The difficulty of the last quest was that we couldn't defeat the level 20 Giant White Wolf, so the system made it easier by having an NPC solve the problem for us."
"That last quest was easy, but the one we have now is at a medium difficulty, which is one level higher. Based on the quest details, Father Barry asked us to build a stone wall, but the quest description is pretty open-ended. How are we supposed to build the wall? Just throw it together, or build it seriously?
When we were doing the beginner quests, I noticed that the NPCs didn't care much about the quality of what we made. In other words, if our defensive stone wall can't withstand the demons' attack, won't the mission ultimately fail?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy rambled on for a while, and his words made everyone suddenly realize why this quest was rated as medium difficulty.
The tricky part was hidden right there.
If Hanjun were here, he would definitely argue against what Spicy Flavor Fairy said.
When he asked Father Barry to give out this task, he only thought of the players as extra labor to be fully used.
He never considered that they might slack off and not do the work properly.
Spicy Flavor Fairy let out a sigh and finally said, "So our problem now is how to transport all those stones and build a strong defensive fortress."
The others looked at each other, and no one spoke up for a long time.
Spicy Flavor Fairy was stunned, "Seriously? None of you have any ideas?"
