The God's Games

It sounded like the heroes were even stronger than Butch.

The man in black wasn't surprised—anyone who could defeat demons had to be powerful.

The man in black asked, "Haven't you thought about escaping?"

There was no one guard the ironworks, and with Butch's strength, he could definitely escape if he wanted to.

Why hadn't he tried?

Butch raised an eyebrow, "Escape? Why would I want to escape? Isn't it great here?"

The man in black was stunned.

Butch continued while showing satisfied expression, "Actually, since I've been here, my strength has increased a lot."

Using his dragon breath to raise the temperature of the furnace every day, and with the constant high temperatures feeding back into him, Butch had been leveling up regularly.

Even without signing a contract with Hanjun, he felt like he was gaining a lot.

Here, he could increase his strength just by breathing dragon breath, and he got free meals every day.

Butch was very content with his situation.

The man in black realized that relying on Butch to escape was impossible.

Butch was clearly satisfied with his life and didn't want to leave, so he'd have to figure something out on his own.

Butch didn't seem to care and asked him, "By the way, what's your name?"

The man in black replied, "Lambard Calowise."

Butch nodded, "Got it, Lambard. Alright, let's get to work, shall we?"

Lambard followed Butch, continuing to walk forward.

He noticed a chubby middle-aged man who was pushing a small cart while huffing and puffing and then collapsing halfway.

Lambard gave him an extra glance.

Butch noticed and explained, "He's just like us."

Lambard hesitated and asked, "Did he also fail at assassinating Hanjun?"

Butch seemed to find that idea hilarious and burst out laughing, "Haha! Do you think someone with his build could possibly assassinate Hanjun?"

Mayor Herman, the chubby man, heard himself being mocked but remained expressionless.

He was used to Butch's behavior by now.

Being the only human among them, he never dared to talk back when Butch made fun of him.

Lambard took another look at Mayor Herman and saw that he was just an ordinary, chubby man.

This made Lambard even more confused about why the three of them were all standing in the ironworks together.

Butch pointed at Mayor Herman and said, "This guy used to be the mayor of Ulon Town. But he was very corrupt and greedy, making life miserable for the people here, so the Church of Light sent him here for hard labor."

Butch added, "So, you see, we're all the same."

Lambard fell silent.

So that's what Butch meant by "all the same"?

Butch then shouted aggressively at Mayor Herman, "What are you slacking off for? Get moving!"

Mayor Herman, hearing this, started to tremble all over, his fat body was shaking as he quickly got back up and continued pushing the cart forward.

Butch's face softened again, and he said to Lambard, "Alright, let's keep going. I'll show you what your work will be."

Lambard asked, "…Do I really have to work?"

Butch suddenly changed his expression and asked, "Are you saying you don't want to work?"

He looked like a foreman, the biggest threat in this factory.

Borg suddenly realized why the Church of Light sent him here.

With Butch around, there was no need to worry about him escaping.

He even thought that if Butch flexed his muscles, one punch could knock him out.

Thinking of his safety, Borg quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, I was just asking if it's just the three of us in the factory?"

Butch changed his expression again, smiling pleasantly, and said, "Of course not. It's just not work hours yet, so the workers haven't started. The heroes also come to help from time to time. Let me show you what you need to do. Make sure you work hard."

What else could Borg say?

He just nodded his head like crazy.

Overnight, Ulon Town suddenly got a few more NPCs, making the players feel very curious.

The game didn't mention these NPC updates, so the players had to figure out for themselves what these NPCs were there for.

The most popular was Hallyne, the Alchemist.

Most players found out that they couldn't change into the Alchemist Class yet.

They could only take some small daily quests from him, earning alchemy items as rewards and increasing Hallyne's favorability.

Whenever they asked Hallyne how to become an Alchemist, he would just smile without saying a word, not giving them any answers.

This left the players puzzled.

Was this NPC just an ordinary Alchemist who couldn't take on apprentices?

Spicy Flavor Fairy helped analyze the situation and thought it was probably because their favorability level wasn't high enough yet.

Now the players understood.

It seemed like they needed to do daily quests first and raise their favorability before they could talk about how to change into the Alchemist Class.

Anyway, since Hallyne's quests also gave experience rewards, the players figured they could still do the daily quests even if they couldn't join the Class yet—So why not?

Next, there was the caravan that had arrived at the town square.

The players were excited, thinking it was about time the town got a shop.

Now they could finally get rid of the random items they had been carrying around and see what goods the visiting caravan had to offer.

Spicy Flavor Fairy stood in front of the merchant, looking at the items laid out on the ground.

He felt like this shop was probably part of a small event run by the game company.

All the items in the shop required gold coins to purchase.

Recently, they had only just started receiving money as quest rewards.

Even if they worked hard at the ironworks, the gold coins they earned weren't enough to buy many items in the shop.

At this point, he heard that the shop was also buying items.
