Arthur had given the three pieces of the armor to be repaired and reinforced and they were certainly up to his mark.
\'This is better than buying new equipment too.\' Arthur was pleased by it.
He had thought that he would need to buy some new armor soon, but it looked like the reinforcement was good enough for now. Plus he didn\'t need to pay anything extra for it as it had come out of the cost of the pelts he had sold to the same man.
"How do you like it?" The Armorer asked.
"It\'s perfect." Arthur quickly put on the armor pieces.
The plain leather armor now had patches of wolf fur on them where they had been reinforced. It definitely looked better than his old style.
But before Arthur would leave he asked the Armorer again.
"Will you be willing to buy more Adult Black Scruff Wolf pelts?" he questioned.
"Sure. Bring as many as you can." The Armorer answered. "We always need them for armor."
>Quest Issued!<
——
Quest: Obtain Adult Black Scruff Wolf Pelts (Repeatable)
Info: The Armorer has asked you to bring Adult Black Scruff Wolf Pelts for him.
Grade: Uncommon
Difficulty: Normal
Reward: Coins (will depend on the number of pelts delivered)
——
Seeing the quest notification, Arthur was pleased.
While he could always sell the pelts without the quest, the quests had additional benefits. He might be getting the same rewards, but there was the hidden effect of improving his relations with the NPCs.
Thus having a quest for something was almost always better than selling stuff directly.
"I\'ll be sure to bring as many as possible," Arthur said.
But before he left it, he spotted something.
"What is it?" The armorer asked.
"How much is that bag?" Arthur pointed to one that was hanging on the wall.
"This one?" The Armorer brought it to Arthur letting him check.

"Hmm… I\'ll take this as well." Arthur decided.
"That\'ll be 10 silver coins." The Armorer replied.
Arthur didn\'t mind the cost as he knew he\'ll be making it all back rather soon. Plus it\'ll just be making things easier for him.
He quickly equipped the rucksack and increased his storage slots by 30.
\'Thankfully the satchel bag can still be kept equipped at the waist.
~DING~

While Arthur had made a makeshift sack using the other large pelts, it wasn\'t exactly the same as using a bag. While Morpheus Online allowed such free adjustments and alternative uses, they also came with their penalties.
One could make other such bags, but it would come with the penalty of having bad efficiency. One would not have any weight reduction and their stamina would also be drained faster.
But with proper bags, the same wasn\'t applied and Arthur could carry more without any extra debuffs.
Of course, all this was still not the best. Arther yearned for a Spatial Storage bag that would allow him to keep everything without having to equip a bag physically. It was basically a necessity after a certain point in the game.
\'That\'ll take a while to obtain though.\' Arthur thought before leaving the shop.
He made his way to the southern gate of the village and left for the depths of the Southern Forest.
Arthur had several goals. The first was to gather the pelts, while also hunting more of the Black Scruff Wolves on the way to gain some experience. While it wouldn\'t be that efficient, it would still give him some experience.
\'I might even be able to hit Level 9 in that time.\' Arthur thought to himself.
He took a look at his Experience bar and saw that it was at the 60% mark.
"Hmm… It should be just enough." Arthur reckoned.
It took him two hours to reach the deeper part of the Forest where he started to encounter the Adult Black Scruff wolves. He didn\'t fight them though, as it would lower his efficiency.
Instead he avoided them and ran past most of them. His goal was to get to the deepest part first and then make his way back while gathering the pelts.
Of course, there were times when he couldn\'t avoid the wolves. But now the hunt was easier and he simply killed all those that he encountered. He hid their corpses, intending to skin them later.
And once he was at the depths of the forest, he started to make his way back.
"Let\'s get started." Arthur said as he took out the pelts he had hidden in the trees.
He stored them in the new rucksack and continued back.
>Player Arzhur has killed an Adult Black Scruff Wolf!<
>Player Arzhur has obtained 2% Experience!>
>Player Arzhur has killed an Adult Black Scruff Wolf!<

Arthur repeated the process, killing all the wolves that he encountered. He also skinned them at the same time. His speed at that improved too, having done it enough times.
He reckoned he was possibly close to improving the Butcher skill too.
And by the time Arthur was in the middle area of the southern forest, it finally happened.
>Player Arzhur has leveled up!<
>Five Free Stat Points have been granted!<
"Just in time!" Arthur was happy.
~GROWL~
But his attention was pulled by the group of wolves that appeared again.
"I\'ll get to it after I finish these!"
