Chapter 117: The Journey To Lindblum City (Part 1)
Master PungPong and his team received a message from the Ragdoll Cat.
When they heard that Hanjun needed their help, they immediately rushed over from the ironworks.
They found Hanjun and Father Barry discussing something together.
Hanjun gave Father Barry a look, then said, "Master PungPong, I have an important Quest for you. You've made so many weapons, and now it's time to put them to use. You cleared the bandits from the southern mountain, and the demon army hasn't arrived yet. Take these weapons to Lindblum City and trade them for supplies."
...
[ Quest Objective: Go to Lindblum City ]
[ Quest Details: The town's supplies are running low. Hanjun suggests that you could take the batch of weapons to Lindblum City and trade them for some supplies. Father Barry also mentioned that you might want to share the story of Ulon Town and the God of Light while you're there. ]
[ Quest Difficulty: Easy ]
[ Quest Rewards: Experience Points +30,000, Favorability Points With The Church of Light +10, Gold Coin +1. ]
...
When Master PungPong heard they were heading to a new map, he was thrilled.
After reading the quest description, he thought carefully.
"This quest description even hints at a bonus task. Could there be extra rewards if we complete it?"
"I can't believe they're starting to give out gold coins as rewards. Does this mean they're introducing a currency system?"
"Does this mean we can explore a new map now?"
But then Hanjun said, "It's too late today. You should set off tomorrow."
Master PungPong showed a look of disappointment, but since he received such an important quest, he knew he needed to share it with other players.
This time, only his team members received the quest.
No one else could get it.
After being summoned by the Ragdoll Cat, Master PungPong became the center of attention, "Why did the NPC specifically choose you for this Quest?"
Master PungPong scratched his head, not really sure himself.
Since they wouldn't be acting until the next day and most of today's tasks were already done, Master PungPong told his teammates that he was about to log off.
His teammates knew he was a streamer and usually streamed until very late, so it was surprising to see him logging off so early.
Spicy Flavor Fairy asked, "So early? Aren't you streaming tonight?"
Master PungPong nodded, "I told my viewers I'd take a break tonight. I have something to do."
He didn't explain what he was going to do, and his teammates didn't press the issue.
They just reminded him to log in early the next day.
The time in <<God's Games Online>> is set to be the same as in real life, so most of the storyline unfolds during the day.
This means that the game isn't very friendly to players who work during the day since they would miss out on what happens while they're away.
Luckily, the beta test players that Hanjun selected have all adapted very well to the current gameplay.
Other than necessary eating and resting time, everyone spends most of their day online in the game.
If a player isn't seen on a given day, it usually means they have something going on in real life and can't log in—this has become common knowledge in the game.
After logging off, Master PungPong apologized to his viewers and ended his live streaming.
The viewers groaned in disappointment.
Master PungPong's live streaming is the only place where they can watch <<God's Games Online>>, and they usually beg him to do live streaming longer so they can see more about the game.
But now, even that one source was gone for the night.
The reason Cha Dan-pung ended his live streaming so early today was that his video edits were finally ready—he had five or six videos.
He hadn't had time to review them over the past few days, so he reluctantly gave up tonight's live streaming time to check the quality of the edited videos.
Normally, he's just a streamer and rarely uploads gameplay videos.
But after someone screen-recorded his live streaming and reposted it, he decided he needed to edit and upload his <<God's Games Online>> gameplay himself—he didn't want others to get profit from his content.
After watching his four or five videos, Cha Dan-pung finally looked up from the computer screen.
Ever since he started playing <<God's Games Online>>, it had been a long time since he spent so much time staring blankly at the screen.
He sent his feedback on the videos to the editor and waited for a response.
In the meantime, he checked his inbox, just in case he had missed any important messages while he was busy playing the game.
Skipping over some obvious fan or troll messages, Cha Dan-pung found one or two private messages from people who were interested in business collaborations.
This was a new experience for Cha Dan-pung.
He usually just do live streaming and didn't pay much attention to his gameplay videos since they didn't get many views.
He hadn't made any videos for months, so it was surprising to receive business offers now.
After reading through the private messages and chatting with the senders, he realized they were mainly interested in <<God's Games Online>> because of its current popularity.
Since Cha Dan-pung was the only one who are doing live streaming and had access to the beta test, they wanted to leverage his content to ride the wave of the game's success.
Cha Dan-pung was intrigued.
This situation meant he was currently irreplaceable, which gave him the chance to negotiate for a higher price.
If they were really that interested in <<God's Games Online>>, they might agree to his terms.
However, since his videos were already completed, he didn't want to redo them just to meet the client's demands.
Another issue was that he wanted his <<God's Games Online>> videos to be unique in the gaming community.
Adding ads might negatively impact the viewers' experience, and some people might think he was just trying to make money off the game's success.
