The Divine World was unlike most games where the mission offered tons of information and guides on how to succeed.
Instead, you would need to figure everything out yourself with little to brief information given.
Though they aren't that harsh either and as long as you triggered some certain event, you might receive some important information.
And just now, Xu Feng seemed to have triggered that with Sandy, prompting the latter to reveal that the Town Mayor was currently not in Riverwood Town.
In addition, the Town Mayor would return in a few weeks, and according to his knowledge, that meant he had around 5-7 days.
'The time zone that NPCs operated on differed from us players, so their few weeks are just 5-7 days. As expected, this must be the alternative plotline because of my mitigation in the original deal.' Xu Feng quickly deduced the reason for the change.
Despite knowing he was the reason for the sudden deadline, he had no regrets.
