Chapter 157: Job Interview (Part 2)
The trade caravan had come to Ulon Town at just the right time.
The heroes had cleaned out all the remaining goods from other cities, just like locusts.
Except for the food sold to them by Ulon Town, they had nothing left.
Since Ulon Town was their last stop, they could now easily transport the food to the countries in the east and make a lot of money.
The person in charge was delighted every night seeing the endless supply of food and players.
Fortunately, he had listened to Mr. Turner and made a trip to Ulon Town.
He couldn't believe that such a small place had managed to clean up everything he had brought.
If the trade caravan's leader had played the game, he would have known that players always cleared out shops.
To them, anything that could be dealt with through effort was no big deal.
In short, they were used to emptying out shops.
Seeing the empty shelves satisfied them.
The trade caravan got ready to leave, and Father Barry asked Hanjun if he wanted to arrange for the heroes to escort them.
Hanjun waved his hand and said it wasn't necessary.
Whether it's bandits or anyone else, if they heard the news about the demons, they would have run away long ago.
Who would dare to rob on the road at this time?
Only the trade caravan leader had the courage to come to Ulon Town with just a little information.
It's impressive.
Before leaving, the trade caravan leader rubbed his hands and with a chubby face asked, "Are you really not considering selling me the Accelerated Growth Potion and the All-Purpose Farming Machine?"
The All-Purpose Farming Machine invented by Hallyne was well-known even to the trade caravan in Ulon Town.
They had heard that Ulon Town used unique potions and alchemy items to increase their food production, which was why there was so much surplus food available for sale.
The trade caravan leader was interested in these potions and the All-Purpose Farming Machine.
The Accelerated Growth Potion and the All-Purpose Farming Machine were both complicated to make.
Especially the Accelerated Growth Potion, which was no different from a Recovery Potion used by players.
With the upcoming war, Hanjun didn't want to use up these essential materials and didn't have Father Barry agree to the request.
The All-Purpose Farming Machine was even more problematic.
Ulon Town only had a few of these machines, and they needed mana stones for charging, so it wasn't suitable to sell to the trade caravan.
The trade caravan wasn't ready to give up, though.
They pestered Father Barry for several days and still hadn't given up before leaving.
Seeing that Father Barry's expression didn't change at all, the trade caravan leader realized there was no hope for this request but still said politely, "In that case, please leave us some more food. The trade caravan will return with goods in two weeks."
Since they had already refused before, refusing again now would seem unreasonable.
Anyway, Ulon Town's food was already enough to meet local needs, so selling the extra to get other necessary supplies was acceptable.
Father Barry finally nodded his head, making the trade caravan leader very happy.
The other items weren't a big deal, but food was what mattered most right now.
This trip wasn't just profitable—it was a huge gain.
Watching the trade caravan leave, the players were reluctant. Explore more stories with m,v l'e-m|p| y r
They feel that the event is ended too quickly.
But once the trade caravan was gone, the players returned to their usual life.
Seeing the players so active, Hanjun suddenly asked Pork Rib Boss, who was standing next to him, "Are you feeling a bit bored?"
Pork Rib Boss immediately comes back to his senses, realizing Hanjun is talking to him, he quickly says, "Of course not. This boredom is just to prepare for the upcoming big battle. Ulon Town needs to improve its defenses, and we also need to level up so we don't fail in the coming fights."
Pork Rib Boss's point was valid, but Hanjun still noticed from the forums and player conversations that they were a bit dissatisfied with the current calm situation.
After all, they had been attracted by Hanjun's promotional videos, but now there wasn't even a glimpse of the demons.
How could that be?
Hanjun didn't say anything more, and Pork Rib Boss then noticed that Snowball who had always stayed by Hanjun's side was nowhere to be seen.
Pork Rib Boss opened his mouth, unsure if he should ask about it.
Hanjun quietly said, "It's been a while, so Snowball should be back soon."
He had sent Snowball to look for signs of the demon race.
If everything went as planned, he would give out a quest for the players to go north and find the demons.
Dealing with some of them would ease the pressure when the demons eventually moved to the south.
At the same time, this would help the players gain more experience and level up to face even stronger enemies.
Overall, it was about helping the players develop well.
He wouldn't send all the players out of Ulon Town at once.
The remaining players could continue building and getting used to the dangers outside.
Even if they nearly died, they would respawn in the Ulon Town's church, which was like going straight home.
It was a win-win situation.
Pork Rib Boss heard this and paused for a moment.
Hanjun glanced at him and understood what he was thinking, "Do you want to try going as well?"
Pork Rib Boss nodded, "I want to join the team and go out."
Hanjun waved his hand, "That's fine. Keeping you here to protect me is a waste of time. It's better to go out and train. I hope you become stronger."
Pork Rib Boss showed no emotion on the outside but felt a bit happy inside.
He also shared the news with his teammates first.
Master PungPong also felt the same way. "Finally, we can go out! I was getting so bored in Ulon Town."
