Chapter 136: New Quest (Part 2)
Master PungPong read the quest summary and asked, "How was the quest to spread the word about the God of Light completed?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy also jumped down from the carriage and clapped his hands, saying, "It must be because we have told the news about the God of Light to Viscount Hereford and Mr. Turner. They spread the word, so now everyone knows the God of Light has awakened. That's how the quest was completed."
Father Barry looked at the goods on the carriage and listened to their discussion, nodding his head with satisfaction.
The God of Light needed faith energy to restore its power.
If spreading the news about the God of Light brought unexpected benefits for Hanjun, then it was worth it.
As for what the Order of the Shattering Light might do after hearing this news, that was the risk of spreading the information.
But surely the players could handle it, right?
This time, the most abundant goods were food.
The residents of Ulon Town, who had fled earlier, had only brought basic food supplies and left everything else behind.
Now that they were back, they didn't have much food left.
Most of the NPCs had gone to work in the ironworks, and no one was left to farm the fields.
Father Barry could only issue quests to the players to trade in Lindblum City.
Now, the food crisis was being addressed.
Large sacks of potatoes were unloaded and distributed to each household, solving the initial food shortage.
Even though Mr. Turner had promised to send a merchant caravan to Ulon Town regularly in the future, Hanjun felt that relying on others for food was a very unreliable decision.
If anything went wrong, the people of Ulon Town would suffer.
It seemed that the focus couldn't be solely on construction; someone had to be responsible for food production.
However, even with the town and the players, there weren't enough hands.
At that moment, Hanjun regretted not pulling more best test players for help earlier.
Now wasn't the time for regret; it was about how to fix the upcoming problems.
Hanjun wondered if they should delay the construction progress and allocate some people back to handle food production.
[ Quest Details: The town doesn't have enough people and no source of food. The town's residents will soon starve. Father Barry thinks you might have a way to increase food production to feed the people of Ulon Town. ]
[ Quest Difficulty: Easy ]
[ Quest Rewards: Experience Points +60,000, Church of Light Contribution Points +40, Ulon Town Favorability Points +20. ]
...
Flower Deer looked at the quest and fell into thought.
Her teammates noticed that Father Barry had only given the quest to her, which meant it must be a special quest.
They quickly asked her what the quest was about.
After seeing the details of the quest shared by Flower Deer, Master PungPong muttered, "It seems only you can complete this quest. We have no experience with this kind of quest."
Flower Deer also remained silent, wondering if the quest required her to find fertilizer to boost production.
But even with fertilizer, the plants still need time to grow.
With the current situation, she felt the food they brought back wouldn't last long.
Master PungPong, not understanding these details, said, "How could that be? Didn't we bring back several carts of supplies?"
Flower Deer gave him a side glance, "Those supplies won't be enough. They'll be used up quickly."
Master PungPong shut up, realizing he didn't know much about these matters and had thought the supplies would last longer.
No wonder Father Barry was so urgent in issuing the quest.
If the food wouldn't last long, it was indeed important to address the problem quickly.
Spicy Flavor Fairy, seeing Flower Deer in rare deep thought, offered a suggestion, "What are you planning to do? Make fertilizer?"
Flower Deer shook her head, "I feel like there might be another way."
Master PungPong tilted his head, "What other way could there be?"
With not enough people, the output is low and the food is insufficient.
What else can be done besides using fertilizer?
Flower Deer said, "Maybe magic can help."
