Chapter 179: Chupa Chups (Part 2)
Luckily, Hanjun paused and waited for him to respond.
"It's sparkling sodas with fruit flavors like strawberry, melon, and mango called Chupa Chups. The partner wants their product to appear in the game, so players can see it anytime."
Hanjun snapped his fingers and asked Kim Jung-hyun, "It can be done, but how much money did they give for the advertisement?"
Kim Jung-hyun took a moment to come back to his senses, "They gave seven figures. They said if it goes well, they'll add more funds. They also sent a whole carload of Chupa Chups to the company."
Hanjun said, "That makes things easier! I'll put their product in the general store as an item for sale. You move a few boxes yourself; I have other uses for the rest."
With that, the plan was set.
Kim Jung-hyun thought it was pretty easy working for a boss like Hanjun.
He quickly resolved issues and was given decent treatment.
He must have had some luck to end up working at the Word of Eorera.
Father Barry, seeing Hanjun's figure and the pile of stuff behind him, asked curiously, "Holy Son, what's all this?"
Hanjun clapped and smiled, "Perfect timing! Let's take these items to the general store to sell."
Father Barry looked at the pile of strange things and asked, "What is this?"
Hanjun said, "It's a new thing. You can try it."
Father Barry, following his advice, opened a bottle of Chupa Chups, took a sip, and scrunched his face.
He coughed and said, "What is this…"
Hanjun watched his reaction and laughed, "It's just a drink."
He then took a bottle from the box, had a sip, and said happily, "I haven't had this in a long time. It still tastes the same."
Speaking of which, ever since returning to the another world, Hanjun hadn't eaten this kind of junk food in a long time.
Suddenly, he felt that this kind of business cooperation wasn't a bad idea.
Maybe he could expand the menu for the people of World of Eorera a bit.
Father Barry, although not used to this kind of strong drink, couldn't help but take another sip after the first one.
It was just too new to him.
Since it was brought by Hanjun, he was sure it wouldn't be harmful, so he drank a few more sips.
Before Hanjun could warn him, he started hiccuping.
Hanjun covered his mouth, laughing happily, but he kindly reminded him, "This drink can make you hiccup if you drink too much, just like you're doing now."
Luckily, Father Barry stopped hiccuping quickly.
After trying it, he put the cap back on the bottle and said, "It's really unique. Kids would probably like this even more. What's it called?"
Hanjun replied with a grin, "Chupa Chups."
Father Barry repeated, "…Chupa Chups? What does that mean?"
Hanjun didn't explain further, so Father Barry sighed and asked people to move the stuff to the general store's warehouse.
Soon, it was on the store shelves.
Player ShadowMoon noticed something new on the shelves and was surprised when he saw the name, "Chupa Chups? Since when did World of Eorera have this?"
To them, it was still something new.
Since Chupa Chups was cheap, ShadowMoon decided to buy some to try.
Just like in reality, Chupa Chups on World of Eorera had no special effects; it was just a drink.
Even the packaging was the same, with a barcode, perfectly replicating the real-world Chupa Chups.
ShadowMoon took a sip and his eyes lit up, "Wow! This tastes exactly the same as it does in real life!"
Feeling the bubbles pop in his mouth, he took another sip and then sent a message in the player channel.
[ ShadowMoon: Did you guys see the new item in the general store? It's Chupa Chups, and the taste is exactly like in real life. I never thought I could drink Chupa Chups in a game. This is awesome! ]
When he used to play other VR games, he had always wondered how he could drink Chupa Chups while gaming.
Now, <<God's Games Online>> has solved that problem for them.
Plus, drinking Chupa Chups in the game wasn't like drinking it in real life—no worries about the high calories.
Isn't that even better?
It wasn't just the players who were surprised by the Chupa Chups in the general store; people in World of Eorera were also curious about it.
Butch, after a month of hard work, finally earned Hanjun's approval and got a day off to freely wander around Ulon Town.
No one cared whether he would try to run away or not; in fact, he felt less and less like leaving.
Ulon Town looked completely different from what Butch had seen before.
It had only been a few days, but the changes in Ulon Town were a pleasant surprise for him.
He saw the general store packed with players, so he curiously moved closer to take a look.
He noticed these strange people were all buying something called Chupa Chups.
Butch was puzzled, so he asked, "Chupa Chups? What kind of new thing is this?"
The general store's manager saw Butch but didn't show any fear like before.
Maybe it was because, with the Church of Light and the heroes around, they were becoming more confident.
The manager greeted Butch naturally, saying, "Want to try some Chupa Chups? It's fresh stock, and we're the only ones selling it in the whole world of eorera."
Butch was, of course, curious about this new item.
He clapped his hands and bought one.
Looking at the strange packaging, he carefully unscrewed the cap as the general store manager instructed.
Immediately, his nose was hit by the fizzy gas from the Chupa Chups, making him cough.
He almost lost control and accidentally breathed out dragon breath.
After drinking it, his eyes were lit up, and he exclaimed, "It's so refreshing!"
He didn't know why it was called Chupa Chups, but it was definitely a taste Butch had never experienced before.
