Chapter 8

After adding Beautiful Warrior Sasa as a friend, Chu Rui went straight to the tailor's shop in the beginner's village.

"Welcome, may I help you with something?"

The old tailor smiled warmly and asked Chu Rui.

"Could you please make this fur into a leather armor?"

Chu Rui took the gray wolf fur out of his backpack and placed it in front of the old tailor.

"Oh, gray wolf fur, it's in such good condition, very nice. What type of armor would the brave warrior like?"

The old tailor picked up the gray wolf fur, touched it a couple of times, and smiled.

"What type?"

Seeing Chu Rui's puzzled look, the old tailor explained, "If I just do a rough job, I can make it into a crude type. If I do a fine job, I can make it into a refined type. The crude type costs one silver coin, while the refined type, since I need to add some of my own materials, costs five silver coins. Which type would the brave warrior like?"

There are crude and refined types?

Chu Rui was slightly taken aback. He then opened his backpack and looked at the eighty-seven silver coins inside. Thinking about the strong Wolf King BOSS and the three elite gray wolves, he gritted his teeth.

"I want the refined type!"

"Sure thing, please wait a moment!"

Receiving the five silver coins, the old tailor's smile widened. She picked up the gray wolf fur, added some of her own materials, and started sewing with her needle and thread. Her quick movements lasted for about thirty seconds. Suddenly, a white light emerged from her hands, enveloping the already formed leather armor.

When the light faded, a refined leather armor appeared in the old tailor's hands.

"Thank you for your patronage, here is your leather armor!"

Handing the leather armor to Chu Rui, the old tailor's eyes almost turned into slits.

Taking the leather armor, Chu Rui couldn't wait to check its attributes. If he spent the materials and five silver coins on a piece of junk, it would be a tragedy.

Gray Wolf Leather Armor: Green equipment, Defense 20, Required Level 5! Durability 15/15!

Seeing the high defense value of 20, Chu Rui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The five silver coins were well spent.

He put on the Gray Wolf Leather Armor and had the old tailor repair the Gray Wolf Shoes, restoring their durability to full.

"Excuse me, ma'am, can I learn tailoring from you?"

Just as he was about to leave, Chu Rui suddenly asked.

"If the brave warrior wants to learn tailoring, it's not impossible! However, you are a complete novice, so let's start with gathering. If you can give me five gray wolf furs and five slime skins, I will teach you gathering! As for tailoring, we can talk about it after you learn gathering!"

"System notification: Do you accept the old tailor's trial?"

The cold system voice rang in Chu Rui's ears, making him pause.

A quest!

"Accept!"

He accepted without hesitation. It would be foolish to refuse such an opportunity.

"System notification: Congratulations, you have accepted the ordinary quest: The Old Tailor's Trial!"

Opening the quest log, he saw the quest—The Old Tailor's Trial!

Quest Name: The Old Tailor's Trial!

Quest Difficulty: Ordinary!

Quest Content: Collect five gray wolf furs and five slime skins for the old tailor!

Quest Reward: Learn the life skill—Gathering!

Success!

After reading the quest details, Chu Rui politely bid farewell to the old tailor and went to the blacksmith to repair his Wolf Tooth Dagger. Then he went to the pharmacy to buy ten bottles of health potions.

After restocking, Chu Rui thought for a moment and headed out of the village. Although he couldn't fight the Wolf King again now, he could still go to that place. Once he was well-rested, he could challenge the Wolf King again.

"... Nowadays, the wolf infestation is rampant, and the village's hunters are not enough. Many poultry have been harmed by the vicious wolves, and the villagers' crops have been ruined by those damned slimes. If this continues, how will the villagers live?..."

Just as he was about to leave the village, Chu Rui suddenly heard a voice filled with helplessness.

Turning his head, he saw that the surrounding players looked normal, as if nothing had happened. However, the village chief's expression had truly changed from a calm smile to one of great anxiety.

After a moment's thought, Chu Rui walked up to the village chief.

"Village Chief, is there anything I can help with?"

"I was worried about something else... Wait, what's that in your hand? Isn't that a Wolf Tooth Dagger? And you're wearing leather armor made from the fur of those vicious gray wolves, and your wrist guards are made from the skin of those disgusting slimes. ... Our village is saved. Brave warrior, please help our village!"

The village chief was about to shoo away the rookies who were trying to get quests, but upon seeing Chu Rui's dagger, newly made armor, and wrist guards, his expression changed 180 degrees, and he almost begged with tears in his eyes.

Chu Rui glanced around, noticing that the other players showed no signs of surprise. He then realized that the game's manual mentioned that player privacy would be protected, and game IDs could be hidden unless allowed or under special circumstances. Only the player would know what they were saying to NPCs. So, only Chu Rui could hear the village chief, and the exaggerated expression was only visible to him. To others, the village chief still had a calm smile.

"Village Chief, please tell me what you need me to do."

Chu Rui looked very serious and confidently said to the village chief. Although his face was serious, he was inwardly delighted. He didn't expect the design of "Heavenly Destiny" to be so humanized. A quest required multiple conditions to be triggered, not just anyone could accept it.

The village chief, who had ignored him earlier, triggered the quest upon seeing the Wolf Tooth Dagger and other equipment. Whether he noticed it or not was up to the player.

"Those damned wolves are harming our livestock and poultry, and they have even killed several hunters recently. I hope you can help me eliminate them!"

"System notification: Congratulations, you have received the ordinary quest: Eliminate the Wolf Infestation. Do you accept?"

Of course, he would accept!

"Ah, right. Recently, for some reason, the slimes have been reproducing rapidly, and they have ruined the village's crops. Can you help me clear out those disgusting slimes?"

"System notification: Congratulations, you have received the ordinary quest: Clear the Slimes. Do you accept?"

"Accept!"

Chu Rui happily confirmed the system notification. He had just received a quest from the old tailor, and now he had received two more. This was too awesome.
