Mu Lan was certain that the monsters would attack him after all this. However, his agility stat was currently at 21, allowing him to evade incoming attacks. As the monsters within Mu Lan's range began their assault, he noticed that many had long-range attacks. The other monsters couldn't get close to him. Mu Lan ran with all his might towards the outskirts of Tao Lake.

While running, Mu Lan tried to avoid the spit attacks from the acid frogs. He knew their level was 15, but seeing it as ?? indicated they were at least 10 levels higher than him. This was risky because dealing with such monsters could be difficult.

Mu Lan continued to move swiftly to distance himself from the acid frogs. He used his agility to its fullest to avoid any attacks and moved as quickly as possible. At the same time, he paid attention to the dangers around him and his escape route. Determined to escape this dangerous situation safely, he pressed on.

Leaving Tao Lake without a scratch, Mu Lan quickly checked the parchment in his inventory. Seeing the necessary materials gave him a sense of relief. Everything was going as planned. There were three different ways to find these materials:

"First, they could drop from monsters. However, this could take a long time."

"Second, they could be found in the game's marketplace. Players sold items there for in-game currency or real money, with the game company taking a 10% commission on each sale."

"Finally, they could be obtained through various quests."

Mu Lan quickly headed towards the marketplace in the city center. As soon as he arrived, he saw that the necessary items were being sold. These items were likely put up by lucky players who didn't know they could be used to craft the quiver. If they knew, they certainly wouldn't sell them.

After checking the prices, Mu Lan completed the purchase, spending a total of 70,000 credits and leaving only 30,000 credits in his bank account. Although he hesitated to spend the money left by his family, he knew that this investment was crucial for achieving his goal.

Knowing he had all the necessary items, Mu Lan quickly headed towards the NPC. He handed the parchment he had taken from the altar to the NPC. The NPC immediately asked Mu Lan for the materials needed to make the quiver.

[Begin crafting the Magical Quiver?]

Yes / No

After confirming the prompt, the crafting of the magical quiver began. It would take one hour to complete, and Mu Lan planned to use this time wisely.

Since he never used arrows, he decided to sell the 100 arrows in his inventory for 10,000 credits in the marketplace. Given that no one would have 10 copper in the early stages of the game, everyone would likely pull their arrows from the marketplace. Knowing this well, Mu Lan listed his arrows for sale. Then, he set off to prepare a surprise for Beng Zeng.

When Beng Zeng arrived in the city, Mu Lan planned to take him to the paladin master to receive a special hidden quest. Additionally, he needed to find a shield for him. A good shield early in the game could greatly benefit them. Unable to find a shield in the marketplace, Mu Lan immediately thought of an alternative method.

The reward for completing this hidden quest was an upgradeable shield. How had he forgotten this crucial detail? Upgradeable shields, among the best items in the game, were bound to their users and never dropped. The magical quiver was also included in this. As long as the user didn't sell the item, it would never be lost. Now all he had to do was wait for Beng Zeng.

Mu Lan also focused on the idea of making extra money through potion crafting. While waiting for Beng Zeng, he decided to use this idle time to learn potion-making. He went to the alchemist's guild to complete his novice training and received a training quest from the master. This training would give him a significant advantage in producing and selling potions in the game.

Mu Lan wanted to develop his skills in potion-making. To seize this opportunity while waiting for Beng Zeng, he went to the alchemist's guild. He needed to complete his novice training to become an alchemist. He began by receiving a training quest from the alchemist master.
