But he understood why the advertisers hadn't approached him and instead went to other players.
His audience was very large, and he charged higher fees for ads.
Plus, since <<God's Games Online>> is a fully immersive game, it wouldn't be easy to showcase actual products; they'd have to rely on verbal mentions.
It didn't seem cost-effective to have Master PungPong advertise for them.
Instead, the advertisers opted to reach out to other players at a lower cost, allowing them to sneakily advertise during their stream, saving money while still achieving their goal.
These companies were willing to go to great lengths to advertise, not even worrying about upsetting Master PungPong.
After all, he now had 500,000 followers, and they were potentially sacrificing future collaboration opportunities with him.
Realizing this, Master PungPong said with a knowing tone, "Let's chat privately after we log off."
The other players who had received advertising offers nodded in agreement.
After finishing the discussion, the players remembered that they were still in the middle of escaping and quickly changed the topic.
"Let's head back to Ulon Town first," someone suggested, "Who knows what will happen after the Ogre Knight reports back?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy said, "Most likely, the demon forces will reach Ulon Town soon."
Master PungPong's eyes widened, "What? So soon?"
In other words, within just a few days, they might have to face enemies as powerful as the Ogre Knight at Ulon Town.
Could they really defend against such a strong enemy without any harm?
Even Master PungPong didn't feel confident.
Surviving the encounter should have been something to celebrate, but the players weren't in high spirits.
When they returned to Ulon Town, they became the center of attention.
"You're finally back!"
"We heard your mission was amazing this time, and you even encountered a super strong boss!"
After dealing with everyone's questions, the players reported to Father Barry and completed their mission.
He'd just keep adding more layers of disguise.
After listening, Spicy Flavor Fairy felt like it made sense.
He hadn't thought much about it when designing the plans, but it turned out Flower Deer had planned this all along and never mentioned it to them.
They turned their head to look at Flower Deer, who was calmly stroking the Ragdoll Cat.
Noticing their gaze, she turned and said, "Wasn't this something we should have considered from the start? I thought you all had figured it out."
Spicy Flavor Fairy silently thought, "No, we didn't realize these small details were so meaningful."
The Ragdoll Cat was thoroughly enjoying the petting and felt even better basking in the sun.
Master PungPong chimed in, "Hanjun, who are you waiting for?"
Hanjun replied, "Of course, it's the people who once fought on the human defense frontlines."
The demons may have overrun the human defense lines, but not everyone perished on that land.
Some must have survived that war, and there are still those who want to keep fighting to survive.
If they want to resist the demons, they'll follow the news to Ulon Town.
Humans are like that—once a small spark is ignited, everyone will bring their fuel together, eventually forming a fire that can't be easily extinguished.
However, the players remained skeptical of Hanjun's words.
A few days ago, they had seen for themselves that the ones who followed the news were the assassins from the Order of the Shattering Lights who were trying to kill Hanjun.
He is still working in the ironworks as punishment.
The only other person who showed up was Hallyne.
Including the enemies, only two people came.
Also, given the deep-seated distrust people in the World of Eorera have for the Church of Light, will anyone really come to Ulon Town after hearing the news?
The players prepared for the worst but still held onto a bit of hope.
The current progress of the game has sparked endless discussions among netizens.
Everyone realizes that this is a crucial moment in the main storyline.
