Chapter 156: Job Interview (Part 1)
Two days passed, and from the perspective of Master PungPong's three teammates, it was as if Pork Rib Boss had completely transformed, which surprised everyone.
Pork Rib Boss had changed into a pure white outfit, which was just casual clothes given by Hanjun.
He also had a shiny set of armor with enhanced defensive properties, though Hanjun advised him not to wear it outside because it would attract too much attention.
But even his current outfit was enough to catch people's eyes.
Players knew that you'd get new equipment when you change your job class, but Pork Rib Boss's gear was simply too impressive!
This was the first outfit that looked so stylish in the eyes of the players, even more dazzling and elegant than the starter equipment for Priests.
And to top it off, Pork Rib Boss had a white sword scabbard on his waist, which was inlaid with several beautiful gems.
It was clear this wasn't just any ordinary item.
The difference in treatment was astonishing!
After Pork Rib Boss completed his daily quests, Master PungPong asked him to show off his skills.
Pork Rib Boss didn't hide anything.
He drew the sword that was hanging at his waist and swung it at a distant tree.
"…"
There was silence all around.
Just when Master PungPong and the others thought nothing had happened, they heard a creaking sound.
The large tree slowly fell before them, hitting the ground with a heavy thud.
After witnessing an attack that was like straight out of a martial arts novel, Master PungPong and the others were stunned, "Pork Rib Boss, from today onwards, you're the strongest player among us."
This move amazed all the players and viewers.
Even though the Priests' magic was very impressive, seeing the power of a sword made many people reconsider their choices.
"I'm telling you, swords are every man's dream weapon!"
The players' renewed interest led to debates about which job class to choose.
Hanjun didn't concern himself with their struggles, letting them figure it out on their own.
After guiding Pork Rib Boss, Hanjun said, "That's all I can teach you for now. From here on, you need to focus on gaining real combat experience. Once you've mastered the details I taught you, you can come back to me."
Pork Rib Boss understood that this was like an early graduation.
It was normal—game skills improve as you gain more experience.
Hanjun had already taught him enough.
Now it was up to him to level up.
Of course, he still needed to complete his daily quests to protect Hanjun.
After spending time together these past few days, Pork Rib Boss learned Hanjun's true identity from Father Barry: Hanjun is actually the Holy Son of the Church of Light.
This means he was raised by the Church from a young age, which is why he knows so much about it—more than even Father Barry.

When Pork Rib Boss shared this with his teammates, Spicy Flavor Fairy adjusted his glasses and explained, "From what we've read in the church books, the Holy Son of the Church of Light is second only to the Pope. This title also represents the embodiment of the God of Light on Earth. Without a Pope, the Holy Son is the most important person in the Church.
No wonder someone tried to assassinate Hanjun."
Understanding Hanjun's identity, Spicy Flavor Fairy realized why Hanjun hadn't revealed his identity earlier—being the Holy Son of the Church of Light requires extreme caution.
Even though his identity hasn't been officially revealed yet, someone has already attempted to assassinate him.
Once his true identity becomes widely known, Hanjun's life will probably get even more difficult.
Pork Rib Boss nodded, "Exactly."
Master PungPong suddenly understood, "No wonder Hanjun has been able to give us so many quests. If you think about it, he's likely the main character in this game world. Raised as the Holy Son of the Church of Light, he awakened the God of Light, became the God's representative on Earth, summoned heroes, and is advocating for turning Ulon Town into Ulon City."
As things progress, Hanjun will undoubtedly become famous worldwide.
It seems he truly has the setup of a main character.
Spicy Flavor Fairy said, "You're right. If we want to take on the main storyline quests, getting close to Hanjun is the best choice."
Master PungPong, after talking so much, suddenly looked at the item on Spicy Flavor Fairy's nose and asked, "What is that?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy smiled with squinted eyes, "What do you mean? These are just glasses."
Master PungPong replied, "I know they're glasses, but how did you manage to make glasses on the World of Eorera?"
Also, since Spicy Flavor Fairy's in-game body was custom-made, he shouldn't even need glasses for vision.
Why would he want to wear them?
Spicy Flavor Fairy explained, "These are alchemical items. I commissioned Hallyne to make them."
Master PungPong thought about it.
If it's alchemy, then making something like that wouldn't be too difficult.
Spicy Flavor Fairy added, "Since I came up with the design, Hallyne didn't charge a commission fee. He even kept the recipe, saying it could benefit others, and I gained a bit of favorability from him."
Master PungPong was intrigued, "So if I come up with a design, I can get items made for free too?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy was the first one to think of this.
He realized he could hand over all kinds of recipes from Earth to NPCs in exchange for more benefits.
Of course, the NPCs need to be able to make the recipes first.
Otherwise, the recipes are wasted, and nothing is gained.
Master PungPong quickly understood the little tips Spicy Flavor Fairy had given him and said with a somewhat disappointed tone, "So we still need to search for recipes in this game? This game..."
He couldn't think of a good reason, so he changed the topic, "The trade caravan is leaving tomorrow, right? Have you finished buying the items in the shop?"
