As Adam had predicted, most of the players were buying the arrays from [Black Scythe] and [Raven]. In fact, those arrays were sold within an hour, as most of the people realized the benefit of having an additional +5 stats on their status.
Didn't take long before Raven and Black Scythe completed the quest given by Adam. They were now headed back to the shop to give the money they made to Adam.
On the other hand, like Adam said, many players surrounded Anna hoping to get a quest or something.
Initially, they were afraid to approach her because of her high level. But when one mustered up some courage and succeeded in taking a quest from her, the other ran as well.
And now, about a dozen players walked behind Anna, carrying her groceries and a bunch of other things for her, while she walked care freely, finishing the rest of her daily tasks.
Quests, in a sense, were given to the players even for menial tasks. Unlike Adam, who gets quests rarely now, players would probably get quests if somebody asks them to get a glass of water for them too.
Though the rewards are also given accordingly, the quest's worth is decided by the players themselves.
And since Anna was a high level NPC, there was a high chance that she might provide any rare quest or unique quest if you get close enough to her. At least that's what the players were trying to achieve.
"Hey, you. What's your name?" Anna asked as she saw one of the girls carrying her bags for her.
Perked up, that girl answered,"my name is Tinkerbella! How may I help you young miss?"
Anna was enjoying this to her heart's content. The sound of 'Young Miss' was something that she wasn't gonna get used to anytime soon.
"I am going hunting for some wild mushrooms. I will need some people to carry those back," Anna spoke and immediately a quest popped in front of that girl.
[Quest: A porter for the lady!

And Adam's guess wasn't far off because some players who got curious about Adam's statue asked about him from the city folks.
What was even more funny was that they got a quest for that.
[Quest: The Legend of Phantom (Main)!]
A main storyline quest given from the very start. Adam couldn't get more famous than this now.
This happened because the entire Zarraf knew about the name Adam and Phantom, but nobody had any idea who he was. Except for the very few who happen to meet him and know about him.
And it was an added fact that even the gods were a bit curious about him. Including but not limited to the fate weavers, of course.
The Beta Players in Mirag Town were happy with this. They thought it was a good development from the company to give them a direction to what they needed to look for in the game.
It would help the later coming players in the main update as well, to give them a good start.
And just like a MMORPG, it doesn't hinder the fun of the game since they could just simply enjoy the other aspects. Not like the [Quest!] was easy to do, anyway.
I mean that the first part of the [Quest] was to find more information about this Phantom guy, which even the townsfolk knew nothing about.
This beta run was for 3 days and nights, as mentioned before, and then the players would need to wait for 24 hours in the real world before the game officially launches. And that time in this world would be about 30 days in total.
So the beta players got about 72 hours to enjoy. Just like...
"Miss Anna. How far do we have to go?" Tinkerbella asked as she looked at Anna, who kept walking deeper and deeper into the forest.
"We are here," Anna spoke as she saw a bunch of mushrooms hiding behind the trees. Then, picking up a rock, she threw at one of the trees, before about a dozen mushroom monsters jumped from behind the tree.
"EEEEKKK!!" Tinkerbella shouted as she looked at the sharp teeths of those monsters before...
"[Light Prison!]" Anna chanted, creating a cage prison of light, capturing all those monsters at once.
And then...
"[Light Spikes!]" she chanted again, creating spikes within the cage, cutting all those monsters at once.
"All right. I hope you are as strong as you can scream," Anna spoke with no hint of hesitation or worry on her face, while Tinkerbella blankly stared at her.
Thanking that Anna was on her side and not against...
