Chapter 142: New NPC (Part 2)
After hearing their conversation, Spicy Flavor Fairy also snapped back to reality.
Since he had already become a Priest, he wasn't very interested in these things.
But seeing the items Hanjun made sparked big ideas in his mind.
What if they could use magic to create modern weapons?
Just as he started thinking deeper about it, Spicy Flavor Fairy quickly pulled himself out of that rabbit hole.
Hanjun took a sip of water and asked, "So, let me see what you made."
Flower Deer handed over the potion she had made to Hanjun.
For some reason, even though she was so close to Hanjun, she felt an unconscious sense of respect, almost like she was turning in homework, and she was really nervous.
Hanjun looked at the color of the Accelerated Growth Potion and made a small sound but didn't say anything.
Flower Deer fidgeted a bit until Hanjun said, "You did well."
Just that one sentence left Spicy Flavor Fairy a bit puzzled, so he asked, "Really?"
Hearing his question, Hanjun thought for a moment, then whistled.
Soon, Snoeball came trotting down from upstairs.
Hanjun said to Snowball, "Go to Father Barry and bring the Ragdoll Cat here."
Snowball seemed to understand Hanjun's words, he the opened the door, and trotted off toward the church.
Hanjun explained to the four, "The Ragdoll Cat can help identify items you're unsure about. If you have any questions in the future, you can go to the Ragdoll Cat."
It seemed he had already noticed that they didn't understand the value of the potions, so he explained why he sent Snowball to fetch the Ragdoll Cat.
Flower Deer and the others slowly nodded their heads, remembering that the Ragdoll Cat had helped Father Barry identify the weapons they made at the beginning of the game.
Even though they had tested it, they still brought the finished product to the table and said, "This is what we ended up making."
Hanjun looked at the lush green strawberries and then at the players.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Master PungPong, who had eaten the most strawberries, said, "Actually, the berries had already grown, so we just tested to see if they were poisonous."
After saying that, he realized it sounded silly—was it really necessary to eat all the strawberries just to test for poison?
But he was too embarrassed to say anything else, so he just kept quiet.
Hanjun didn't say much either, "Well, in that case, I'll keep these strawberries as a memento."
The four players nodded, letting him do as he wished.
Snowball came back quickly, with a large Ragdoll Cat following him behind.
With the cat here, things would be easier.
Hanjun handed the potion to the Ragdoll Cat, who sniffed it and its eyes gleamed brightly, "A mid-grade Accelerated Growth Potion, and a rare perfect one at that, meow."
Spicy Flavor Fairy and the others were surprised—Flower Deer had succeeded on her first try at making a Accelerated Growth Potion, and it was even a mid-grade one.
No wonder the strawberries had grown so quickly!
Flower Deer blinked her eyes, suddenly understanding the purpose of the Ragdoll Cat.
After the potion was identified, Hanjun put them away and told the players, "I'll take care of these potions and make sure they get to Father Barry. But…"
Hanjun paused for effect, then continued under the players' watchful eyes, "The effects of the mid-grade Accelerated Growth Potion are too strong. It's not necessary to use them for growing crops, and it might attracted unwanted attention. I'll dilute these Accelerated Growth Potions and use them in a more balanced way."
Flower Deer didn't mind this at all, and soon they heard the notification that the quest was complete.
After they checked their quest rewards, Hanjun added, "Being able to make something like this on your first try shows that Father Barry wasn't wrong to have faith in you."
Because of this, Flower Deer gained extra favorability with the Church of Light and earned a special title: [ Novice Alchemist ]
While this title might not seem particularly useful, to Flower Deer, it was like collecting souvenirs—she wanted to have a little bit of everything.
Hanjun then said, "We'll continue to issue quests for making Accelerated Growth Potions. You can go to Father Barry daily to pick up a quest, and then bring the Accelerated Growth Potions to me. Ulon Town will distribute them evenly across the fields."
Spicy Flavor Fairy raised an eyebrow, realizing that making Accelerated Growth Potions had now become a daily quest.
And with Flower Deer successfully creating one, she had become highly sought after.
Now that she knew how to make Accelerated Growth Potions, other players would likely ask her for advice.
However, Spicy Flavor Fairy figured that once the other players realized they didn't have the skill to make potions themselves, they'd start trading with Flower Deer—having her make the potions for them, buying them, and then using those potions to complete their quests.
This way, a perfect trading chain was formed.
The players could earn experience points from the quests, and Flower Deer could keep making Accelerated Growth Potions to increase her skill level, while also getting materials and coins from others.
In the end, both sides benefited, but the one who profited the most was Ulon Town.
By offering a little bit of experience points, the town would receive a steady supply of Accelerated Growth Potions every day.
At the end of the day, the crops in the fields would be fully grown.
Then, another daily quest could be given to the players to gather the crops and store them in the warehouse, ensuring that there was enough food stored.
Father Barry's anxiety gradually eased as everything in Ulon Town progressed perfectly.
That was until one day, when a group of outsiders disrupted the peace.
While some players were working on construction, they encountered a group of people coming from the south.
From their appearance, they seemed to be merchants.
The group was slowly approaching with horse-drawn carts. Read first on m|v|l|e|mpyr
