Chapter 138: Accelerated Growth Potions (Part 2)
[ CrazyTiger Reply: That's easy to say now! Back when Hanjun showed up alone at the quarry and knew so much, it was already suspicious. But nobody expected him to have such a big background or that he'd dare to beat up Saradin. ]
[ Ogami Reply: I never expected him to beat up Saradin! His power is incredible. Why didn't we see him in action during the earlier fights with the demon race? ]
[ xBCxRangers Reply: How do you know he didn't take action? I remember thinking it was odd that the demon race tried to use some ultimate magic but it suddenly didn't work. Looking back again, it might've been Hanjun who neutralized it. ]
[ Miakisfan Reply: Don't you all think Hanjun's name itself is too strange? It doesn't fit with another world setting at all! ]
[ Tsubame Reply: According to the official explanation, there's a staff member named Hanjun who contributed a lot to the game, so they gave the NPC the same name. It's not unusual at all. ]
[ ninjaboy007 Reply: Aren't you all guessing? I'll guess he's the God of Light then. ]
[ Duckilous Reply: it's so funny, If Hanjun Is the God of Light I'll eat my keyboard! ]

However, by the end of the quest, Master PungPong and his team couldn't figure out Hanjun's identity, leaving this post as an unsolved mystery. Explore the story on m-vl-em,py-r
It gradually became one of the most discussed topics among players during the early stages of the game.
It wasn't until much later, when Hanjun's identity was slowly revealed, that players realized this had been talked about since a long time ago.
But as of now, they still knew nothing.
Father Barry watched as the players ran off, then turned his head to see Hanjun frowning and rubbing his forehead.
Father Barry anxiously asked, "Holy Son, what's wrong?"
Hanjun shook his head, "I'm thinking that maybe I've lost more than just the memory of why I fell asleep. Maybe there's something else I don't know."
Father Barry frowned, but as an ordinary Priest, he couldn't understand what was happening with the God of Light.
Hanjun quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Father Barry took a deep breath and nodded.
On the other side, the players followed the recipe and gathered the ingredients that were needed for the Accelerated Growth Potion, one by one.
The team of four split into two groups to search for the materials, which helped them complete the task more efficiently.
Spicy Flavor Fairy and Master PungPong formed one group.
They had already found everything they needed and were waiting for Flower Deer and Pork Rib Boss.
As they waited, Spicy Flavor Fairy started to feel bored and began studying the recipe Hanjun gave them.
Suddenly, he hesitated and while looking at the description of the Accelerated Growth Potion, he voiced his doubt, "Why does this description seem so familiar?"
Master PungPong casually asked, "What seems familiar?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy said, "Look here: 'The Accelerated Growth Potion can speed up life growth. The increase depends on the potion's grade.'"
After he read that out loud, Master PungPong realized, "Speed up life growth? Isn't this just like a Recovery Potion?"
Seeing that Master PungPong understood, Spicy Flavor Fairy leaned in to discuss it with him.
Master PungPong asked, "But didn't Hanjun say this would help crops grow fast?"
"Speeding up life growth... it could mean making plants grow faster, right? So it's not exactly wrong."
Master PungPong was silent for a moment, "... So, you're saying Recovery Potions can be used as fertilizer."
Spicy Flavor Fairy silently nodded.
Master PungPong stroked his chin and said, "Alright then, since this is a fantasy game, if the game lets us use Recovery Potions as fertilizer, then we'll use them as fertilizer."
After saying this, he saw Pork Rib Boss and Flower Deer returning.
Master PungPong waved his hand and asked Pork Rib Boss, "Did you find it?"
If Spicy Flavor Fairy and Master PungPong were the talkative duo, then Flower Deer and Pork Rib Boss were the quiet pair.
Both of them didn't talk much and only spoke up during critical moments.
When they did speak, every word was important, with no unnecessary chatter.
Given their strong abilities, both of them understood each other well and didn't find the silence awkward at all.
In short, their efficiency was much higher than that of Master PungPong and Spicy Flavor Fairy, and neither of them felt that their quiet interaction was a problem.
Flower Deer said, "We found it."
Spicy Flavor Fairy checked the task details and saw that all the required materials were indeed gathered.
He then asked, "Where do we go to make this stuff?"
Flower Deer pointed them in the right direction, "Don't worry. When we were designing the town, I made sure to plan for a Potion Shop. It's already built, though it doesn't have any NPCs yet. We can use it to make the Accelerated Growth Potion."
Hearing this, it became clear that Flower Deer had planned everything in advance.
The other three eagerly headed to the location she mentioned.
When they arrived, they found that it was still an empty building with nothing inside.
The three of them were dumbfounded, "It's all empty. How are we supposed to make the potion like this?"
Flower Deer, unfazed, said, "Didn't it say that you just need to use magic to activate the materials' effects? You don't need any equipment at all."
Then all three of them turned their eyes to Spicy Flavor Fairy, the only one among them who had learned Light-type Magic, meaning he should be the one capable of successfully making the potion.
However, Spicy Flavor Fairy stammered, "Why... shouldn't it be you?"
Flower Deer was the crafting expert among them, and they had all assumed she'd handle it herself.
They were surprised when she placed her expectations on him.
The girl replied, "Only you know Light-type Magic."
Spicy Flavor Fairy shook his head, "You all also know Glimmering Glow spells, which means you can all cast magic too. I just happened to choose the Priest class. You could all give it a try."
