It seemed this quest would have to wait for tomorrow afternoon. The worker had left through the side exit and disappeared. Liu Gan led Star Yu back to the new temporary campsite. By the time they returned, there were multiple bonfires already set up.
Now that he had the clue to the fourth quest, no matter what, he was going to finish the puzzle map. It didn’t seem like it was a very hard quest. Their current location was a safe distance from the King Crocodile’s territory, and the regular Crocodiles doesn’t pose a threat to the team. Liu Gan was in a great mood, so he accepted the suggestion of hosting a feast. The feast lasted all day, until evening came.

The very next day in the afternoon, the whole group arrived at the worker laying down brick, watching him from a polite distance. Shortly after, a woman carrying a small backpack that walked in through side exit. She was delivering the lunch box into the Theme Park. From her backpack, she pulled out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat of her boyfriend. She also had a basin of water so the worker could clean his hands. Lastly, she pulled out the lunch box for him from the backpack.
These NPC’s had their routine lifestyle, and they had personalities too! Liu Gan made sure nobody disrupted the woman unpacking her stuff, waiting until the worker started eating. He waited until the woman was resting, then he walked up with Star Yu.
“Hello, these are the other three puzzle box pieces. You can tell that the design matches exactly with the puzzle box in your possession. We had four boxes, but one was lost and you picked it up,” Star Yu said those exact words, following Liu Gan’s instruction.
“Yi Yi, just return the stuff back to the owner!,” the worker attempted to convince his girlfriend.
“Fine! I’ll return it to you!” The girlfriend pulled out the puzzle box from her bag to hand over to Star Yu.
Star Yu was surprised, but he grasped the puzzle box, only to find he was just holding onto air.
“You don’t want? Then I’ll keep it,” the girlfriend snickered. It seemed she never wanted to give away the puzzle in the first place.
“You picked up my lost puzzle, so we are grateful that you found it. What would be an appropriate compensation to show our gratitude for finding it?” Liu Gan walked up to see if he could communicate with the woman. Since Star Yu couldn’t touch the box, then that meant there was a requirement to be filled. So rather than play her game, Liu Gan took the initiative to ask for her demands.
“This handsome gentleman definitely knows what a girl desires. I like you, so direct,” the girlfriend responded directly to Liu Gan. Ahhhh… not every quest requires an intermediary to communicate with the requester!
“Tell us what you desire. If it is within our capability, we will accomplish it,” Liu Gan promised the girlfriend.
“A few days from now is my birthday. In my house, I am bored just sitting around idly. I want to buy myself an iPAD as birthday present. If you want to thank me you can gift me an iPAD or… give me the money to buy one for myself,” as she stated her terms.
“Yi Yi, you are becoming unreasonable!” The boyfriend was displeased with his girlfriend’s behavior.
“Can’t you tell? This handsome gentleman is a wealthy tycoon. He wouldn’t be bothered by this chump change,” the girlfriend pouted.
“You… can’t be rectified.” The boyfriend released a hopeless sigh.
“An iPAD is something we don’t have. As for money… how much are you asking for?” Liu Gan testing the waters.
