Chapter 102: Fletching Failure (1) (1/2)

Rino could not even fire ten arrows successfully. Heck! He was so bad at placing that arrow on the bowstring that the hunters stopped trying to help him after a while. It was close to midnight, and Rino prayed his new daily quest would save him from this embarrassing side quest activity.

Ping!

Ah, that familiar sound he missed. Rino excused himself for a break and let the hunters take turns with the bow to check what was wrong with it.

Ten days?! Rino almost keeled over in shock. The side quest was a week-long, but this bow crafting quest was the longest he had so far. The Gods must be super generous to grant him this luxury. He wondered if it was because of all the potatoes he offered. Were they too busy to bother with him counting the potatoes and distributing them?

Either way, this was great news for Rino. He could use the extra time to focus on the other areas that needed his attention before leaving the village for a new area to set up something else.

Rino took the time to read the tutorial. He had no idea if bows and arrows were crafted this way, but the level of proficiency required to fire one arrow was too much for the lazy lich. He needed something with minimal effort and high accuracy.

The tutorial did not help much. Apart from suggesting different wood types, sizes and designs, Rino did not learn anything useful. Sure, the tutorial included optional accessories that could help an archer pull a bow better, like a wrist and finger guard, but Rino looked at his bare bones and decided they would be useless.
