The God's Games

Hanjun replied thoughtfully, "They'll definitely be useful. The players's creativity is limitless."

Cha Dan-pung followed the mission's instructions and left the church, heading to the west.

He didn't rush to complete the mission but instead wandered around.

The scenery before him was just like in the promotional video—the once prosperous town had become desolate and quiet, with hardly anyone on the streets.

Most of the viewers had watched the game's promotional video, and seeing this scene in reality made the chat fill with sadness for the game's story.

[ Master PungPong's Little Gals: At least we don't have to go through all that ourselves. ]

Cha Dan-pung happened to see a mother rushing along with her son.

Curious to see if talking to them might trigger a quest, he decided to follow them.

But as soon as he did, the wary mother glared at him, protectively guided her son into their home, and slammed the door shut right in his face.

This was the first time Cha Dan-pung had encountered something like this, and he was a little bit at a loss.

Even the viewers in the chat were confused.

In order to comfort himself and explain to the audience, he said, "Maybe it's because I haven't completed the beginner quest yet, so the NPCs can't talk to me."

But there was another explanation in the chat.

[ Banana Milk Addict: I think it's more likely because the game has really good details. To them, Master PungPong is a stranger, and during a critical moment like this where everyone escapes for their lives, strangers are the most dangerous ones. So it's normal for them to be cautious. ]

Seeing this explanation, Cha Dan-pung nodded his head and said, "That is also possible."

Since he couldn't talk to NPCs for now, Cha Dan-pung decided to stop wasting time and walked quickly toward the forest on the west side of the town.

When he saw a group of people wearing the same beginner outfit as him scattered throughout the forest, Cha Dan-pung realized he had finally found some players like him.

He hurried over and randomly approached a guy to ask, "Hey, how's your mission going?"

The person he asked was a thin man who seemed immersed in his own thoughts and suddenly shouted with some excitement, "It actually works like that!"

Cha Dan-pung was startled, surprised at why this person suddenly went crazy.

The thin man instinctively pushed at something on his nose but then remembered that after entering the holographic game, he didn't need to wear glasses anymore.

He calmed down and returned to his normal behavior, with a calm expression he said, "Sorry, I got a little carried away. This game is just so much fun—I've been testing different ways to complete the mission."

Cha Dan-pung was a bit confused and didn't quite understand why the guy said that.

The thin man, with the ID "Spicy Flavor Fairy" above his head, said, "You've noticed it too after entering the game, right? This game is just as realistic as advertised."
