The God's Games

The players noticed that in just one night, the people from Magic Tower' attitudes had changed.

Initially, they had been cold and unyielding, refusing their help without hesitation.

Now, after the players' persistent efforts, they were even starting to give them tasks.

As long as they could complete tasks and increase their favorability, getting an apprenticeship from them was not far off.

The players got excited and soon felt a strong passion for becoming apprentices, with Master PungPong joining them.

He was the only one in the team who hadn't secured a job class yet.

Now, he had carefully chosen an Arcane Master named Vundo as his teacher and set his goal to quickly build favor with him.

Master PungPong worked hard on the apprenticeship tasks, while his teammates gathered to complete daily tasks.

The main storyline had calmed down for now, so they focused on killing more demons to increase their favorability with the Church of Light, which would allow them to exchange it for more skills and rewards.

Grinding monsters could be a bit boring, so Spicy Flavor Fairy and his teammates started discussing. "Why do you think the people from Magic Tower suddenly changed their minds about accepting apprentices?"

Flower Deer had a neutral expression and wasn't very focused on these matters, so she couldn't answer Spicy Flavor Fairy's question.

Prok Rib Boss was busy tanking and couldn't reply either.

Spicy Flavor Fairy sighed, wishing Master PungPong was here to handle this situation.

If he were here Spicy Flavor Fairy wouldn't have to face the current awkwardness.

Spicy Flavor Fairy could only explain to himself, "According to the forums, it's because the people from Magic Tower were invited back by Hanjun. So, after Hanjun returned, they could start accepting apprentices. That's a plot point."

In Spicy Flavor Fairy's understanding, this explanation was only half right.

He couldn't figure out the other half of the truth.

Soon, Master PungPong returned and brought with him two new skills he had learned: Wind Blade Technique.

Two twisted wind blades shot out, leaving neat cuts on the grass of the lawn, not to mention how effective this skill was against monsters.

Master PungPong excitedly said, "I also learned a Wind Wall. It's a defensive-type magic. What do you think? How's that?"

After showing off, Master PungPong happily joined his teammates to fight monsters.

Spicy Flavor Fairy asked him, "Doesn't it usually take a long time to increase favorability? How come you finished your apprenticeship so quickly?"

Master PungPong got even more enthusiastic, "Well, let me tell you, I was really lucky this time!"

It all started with Hanjun.

As one of the earliest beta testers, Master PungPong had left a very deep impression on Hanjun and Father Barry.

Whenever there was an important task, Hanjun and Father Barry would first consider them.

Today, he was lucky again.

Knowing that Vundo liked Chupa Chups and other snacks, Master PungPong specifically bought these items to increase Vundo's favorability.

He happened to run into Hanjun and had a chat with him.

At the same time, Vundo noticed that Master PungPong had a good relationship with Hanjun.

When he ask him he told him that when Hanjun gone to the Abyss Zone, he took him along.

After Master PungPong said this, he watched as Vundo's favorability towards him shot up significantly.

Vundo immediately agreed to his apprenticeship request and taught him several magic spells right there.

This really surprised Master PungPong and made him realize that Vundo accepted him as a disciple because of Hanjun's influence.

To maintain this favorability, Master PungPong put in his best effort, giving Vundo a perfect half-day tour of Ulon City.

He made sure Vundo was very comfortable and satisfied with his new apprentice.

After hearing all this, Spicy Flavor Fairy nodded his head and thought, "It seems these people are really connected to Hanjun."

Although this might not be very useful to players, Spicy Flavor Fairy still habitually remembered all the information and prepared to share it on the forum.

This information also became one of the pieces of evidence for players investigating Hanjun's background later on.

~•~

No matter how enthusiastically the players were seeking apprenticeships, Hanjun had already solved most of the problems and finally had time to stroll around the city.

However, as he walked, he noticed an NPC with a strange expression, but dressed like an adventurer.

Others might not notice, but Hanjun knew the people of the world of eorera very well.

Although this person was dressed like an adventurer, it was clear that he wasn't from the world of eorera.

Remembering back, Hanjun recalled that he had sent several NPC game pods to the National Institute of Science and Technology.

This person was probably sent by them, but what was his name again?

The NPC's name was Benjamin, and in real life, it seemed to be Lee Bang-myung.

Lee Bang-myung was walking down the street, holding a notebook and recording things while observing.

Hanjun noticed that he was only paying attention to people from the world of eorera.

Hanjun's concern grew.

Perhaps in Lee Bang-myung's eyes, the people of the world of eorera were just NPCs or intelligent AIs, but Hanjun knew that these were real people.

Could Lee Bang-myung have discovered something?

Hanjun approached Lee Bang-myung and greeted him.

Lee Bang-myung nervously put down his notebook.

He knew Hanjun was the owner of the game, but since this information involved business secrets, he had to keep it confidential.

Besides, why would a big company owner want to play a teenage character?!

Lee Bang-myung looked around, and Hanjun smiled, saying, "Don't worry, Snowball isn't with me today."

Hearing this, Lee Bang-myung sighed in relief.

The last time he saw Hanjun in the game, he was startled by Snowball, who was so large and, he heard that it was a wolf rather than a dog.

That was enough to be intimidating.

So, whenever Lee Bang-myung saw Hanjun, he couldn't help but feel a little bit scared.
