Chapter 80: Resonance

“Yes.” The three types Dory mentioned were indeed all good materials for making bows, but in reality, there were more options than just those.

Su You thought for a moment, then added, “There’s also red maple, cloud oak, sugar cane wood… You don’t need to go out of your way to look for them. Just keep an eye out when you’re gathering supplies in the forest.”

Although Dory didn’t recognize some of the woods Su You listed, it didn’t matter. There were plenty of suitable types, and it wouldn’t hurt if she didn’t know a few of them.

Dory earnestly memorized everything Su You said.

“Alright, then leave it to me, my lady. You can rest assured.” With that, Dory picked up her stone knife and got ready to head out.

Seeing that Dory was about to leave again right after just returning, all because of a single request, Su You couldn’t help but frown, a strange feeling welling up inside her.

Dory’s sincerity was genuine—her behavior and even the stats on her information panel proved that. But Su You still felt that Dory’s affection for her was growing a bit… too quickly.

So quickly, in fact, that it was almost uncanny.

They’d only known each other for three days, and her affection was already at ninety-two… If the affection cap wasn’t one hundred, and if it didn’t get harder to increase as it got higher, Su You would have suspected that Dory’s affection might have broken two hundred before the merchant even arrived.

Sure, they were NPCs, members of her territory, and there were some built-in bonuses to their affection for the lord. But even so, this was a bit much.

Feeling something was off, Su You subconsciously called out to Dory as she was about to leave.

“Is there something else you need, my lady?” Dory immediately stopped and turned back, looking at Su You with a serious expression, waiting for her to speak.

After a few seconds of thought, Su You shook her head slightly and decided not to ask directly.

“It’s nothing. I just saw that you just got back, so you can rest for a bit. There’s no need to head out again right now.” Su You made up a casual excuse to gloss over the matter.

Dory didn’t suspect anything, simply thinking Su You was concerned about her.

She replied that she wasn’t tired and wanted to gather a bit more fiber before resting, telling Su You not to worry.

Seeing this, Su You didn’t try to persuade her further. After Dory left, Su You stood there for a few seconds, then took out another fang dagger from her backpack.

**[Sharp Fang Dagger]**

Category: Weapon

Quality: Blue

Attributes: Attack (40), Armor Penetration (6%), Bleed (6%), Critical (2.5%)

Durability: 100/100

Description: A high-quality, sharp fang dagger. The blade is made from copper ore, with a razor-sharp beast fang as the edge. Infused with refined magic ore during crafting, the blade is even sharper, with higher attack and improved attributes overall.

---

This dagger with the “Sharp” prefix was the first one Su You ever made. Despite its excellent stats, she hadn’t given it to Lyle, choosing another one instead.

It wasn’t that she was reluctant to part with it; she simply felt the other dagger was a better fit for Lyle.

Speaking of the second dagger, Su You’s luck had been truly good that day—both daggers ended up with prefixes thanks to the magic ore, though it might also have been due to the high quality of the boar tusks.

What really showed Su You’s luck was the specific prefixes she got.

Weapon prefixes come in many forms, some good, some bad, but both she rolled today were excellent.

The first dagger’s prefix was “Sharp.” The second dagger—the one Su You felt suited Lyle even more—had the prefix “Resonance.”

**[Resonance Fang Dagger]**

(Resonance: With this prefix, the weapon transforms to best suit its wielder.)

Category: Weapon

Quality: Blue

Attributes: Attack (30), Armor Penetration (5%), Bleed (5%), Critical (2%)

Durability: 100/100

Description: A high-quality fang dagger. The blade is made from copper ore, with a sharp beast fang as the edge. For some special reason, it is suitable for anyone.

Weapons are meant for combat, and the “Sharp” prefix greatly boosts fighting power, making it a universally useful choice for any weapon.

If you only look at the stats, the second dagger is clearly inferior to the first. But thanks to the “Resonance” prefix, in certain situations, the second dagger could actually be better.

Those situations depend on the user’s proficiency with that weapon.

If someone isn’t skilled with daggers, Su You would give them the “Sharp” dagger. Since they lack technique, their combat power depends on the weapon’s quality—the better the dagger, the stronger they are; with a worse dagger, their damage drops.

But Lyle was different. He was an expert with daggers.

For someone like that—someone who has mastered a weapon—choosing a weapon that “fits” is always more important than just raw quality.

If someone can’t use a bow, even if you handed them the Elven King’s Bow, it might be less useful than a stick that feels right in their hands. That’s why Su You gave Lyle the dagger with the “Resonance” prefix.

---

With the Resonance dagger given away, Su You kept the remaining dagger for herself, planning to sell it to the merchant when they arrived.

After all, a weapon with a prefix would fetch a good price. If the merchant happened to need a weapon, not only could she get a good deal, but she could also boost their favorability.

With the dagger situation settled, Su You took out the marble bricks she’d already crafted, ready to start building the quest hall.

---

**[Consume 10 Planks, 5 Marble Bricks, and 5 Stone Bricks to build the Quest Hall?]**

**[Building Quest Hall. Estimated time: 600 minutes.]**

---

That’s 600 minutes—ten hours. Since there was no in-game clock, Su You wasn’t sure exactly when it would be finished, but it would definitely be done before she went to bed tonight.

Once the quest hall was finished, Su You could not only upgrade her territory, but also finally check out a certain reward she’d almost forgotten about—the reward chest she got for defeating the Fire Demon Leader.

Besides those two things, Su You could also look into the new bounty board missions.

She wondered what kind of missions would be on the bounty board… If they were just ordinary tasks, that would be fine. Based on her understanding of the game, standard missions shouldn’t pose much of a challenge.
