Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

As soon as the businessman Lao Tuan finished speaking, he nimbly jumped off the front of the camel cart carrying goods. With Wu Ming, Da Chun, and Ah Hao following closely, he strode straight to the back of the truck.

After reaching the rear of the train, Lao Tuan started rummaging through the contents without a word. He messed up everything in the train, and some items like ceramics fell to the ground, but he didn't seem to care.

After some trouble, Lao Tuan finally found a folded simple tent in the truck.

"Do you know how to set up a tent? Even if you can't, just take this folding tent and try to set it up!"

Then, Lao Tuan walked quickly to Dachun with the tent in his hand and handed it to him, while speaking to the three of them.

Dachun took the folding tent in a daze, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"This... I really don't know how to do this! In this world, there's no way to use your phone to look up how to build it! And since we were little, school never taught us this skill!"

Da Chun scratched his head and said helplessly to Wu Ming beside him.

While speaking, he looked at Wu Ming with a puzzled look, hoping to get some help or instructions.

However, facing Dachun's pleading look, Wu Ming just waved his hand, indicating that he could do nothing to help.

"Don't ask me! You and Ah Hao should figure it out on your own! This is the first time I've encountered such a thing as setting up a tent."

Wu Ming had never encountered this before, so he could only respond to Dachun with an awkward smile.

Hearing Wu Ming's response, Da Chun was speechless and petrified. Meanwhile, the businessman Lao Tuan, standing nearby, couldn't help but sigh deeply after hearing the conversation between the three of them.

After sighing, the businessman Lao Tuan did not stop what he was doing, but turned around and went back to the back of the truck again, continuing to take out various items necessary for spending the night in the wild, such as firewood, pots and pans for cooking.

After some frantic tinkering, Dachun and Ah Hao finally succeeded in setting up the slightly shabby tent under the guidance of the helpless businessman Lao Tuan.

During this process, while Dachun and the others were busy, Lao Tuan was not idle either. He skillfully built a bonfire and started cooking in a pot.

At this time, Wu Ming was standing quietly not far away, looking around the camp aimlessly.

As soon as they find monsters like Green Water Spirit and Snail approaching or refreshing in their area, they will use their skills without hesitation to kill them instantly.

In this way, Wu Ming walked back and forth aimlessly, guarding everyone until all camping-related items, including tents, campfires and other outdoor necessities, were put in place.

When all the preparations were completed, the businessman Lao Tuan slowly reached into his pocket and carefully took out a small white-brown cloth bag.

Then he gently opened the bag and took out some white powder as fine as snow.

The old regiment held the powder in his hand and evenly and carefully spread it in a circle around the camp where they would rest tonight.

Something refreshing happened to Wu Ming and the other two!

The moment the white powder touched the ground, it emitted a faint but clearly visible white light. This light was so faint that it seemed to cast a mysterious veil over the entire garrison.

"Okay, now we can continue cooking without worry! With this circle of powder as a protection, ordinary monsters shouldn't dare to come close to harass us easily.

The reason I asked you guys to take turns guarding the night is mainly because I was worried that someone would take advantage of the darkness to steal the goods!"

As Lao Tuan spoke, he sat back down in front of the campfire where he was cooking, a relaxed smile on his face.

"Master, what was that powder you just sprinkled? Why can we still see this flickering, sometimes bright, sometimes dim light? Is that lighting? Or some kind of magic circle?"

After hearing what the old businessman said, Ah Hao widened his eyes, stared at the faintly flickering light around him, and asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"Don't you know what that powder is? It's a magic powder that can repel low-level wild monsters! You can buy it at the escort agency. Generally speaking, people use it in the wild to dispel those disturbing low-level wild monsters.

Of course, this magic powder comes in a variety of colors, with white being the cheapest, but the upper limit on the level of wild monsters it can repel is only level 20!"

The businessman Lao Tuan responded without looking up as he stirred the seemingly bizarre dinner in the pot.

"You've already passed the escort agency's certification. Logically, shouldn't you be able to receive it once for free? How come you don't know anything about this powder?"

At this point, the businessman Lao Tuan couldn't help but frown and continued to speak.

The old group of businessmen paused for a moment. Although they had some doubts in their hearts, when they thought of the powerful strength displayed by Wu Ming, they dispelled the idea that the other party might be a fake.

"Your escort team is really weird!"

Lao Tuan continued to throw green slime and some yellow and green mushroom caps into the pot, with a puzzled look on his face and mumbling to himself.

At this time, Dachun and Ah Hao, who were standing aside, looked at each other, and both showed the same confused expression. They turned their heads to look at Wu Ming in unison, as if they wanted to get a reasonable explanation from him.

"Boss, I feel like something's wrong! Were we being ripped off by that old man from the escort agency? He didn't even mention this high-end item that's so useful and can prevent monsters from invading at night, and he didn't even give it to us!"

As Ah Hao spoke, he looked at Wu Ming with an angry and slightly puzzled expression.

At this time, Wu Ming was also confused and had no idea what was going on.

"Hey! Forget it, let's stop guessing! Maybe the old man who registered the escort agency thought we were strong enough and didn't need to pay!"

After a brief silence, Wu Ming seemed to remember something and spoke awkwardly.

Wu Ming thought about it, and his mind became clearer about the matter. The reason they were able to register as members of the escort agency so smoothly and save a large amount of Maple Leaf Coins was all because of the backdoor help from the man named Shanks.

Now that I think about it, the fact that the escort agency didn't give them this monster-proofing gadget might have something to do with this. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch!

After hearing what Wu Ming said, although Ah Hao was still skeptical, he didn't dare to continue asking.

"Alright, alright, the three of you stop worrying about this! I believe in your abilities, old man!

Moreover, even if the escort agency doesn't prepare this thing for you, we merchants who are responsible for transporting the goods do have it in hand!

Dinner is ready now, everyone should fill their bellies first! While we eat, we can assign tasks for the night shift!

At this moment, the businessman Lao Tuan, who had been busy on the side, interrupted with a smile.

As he spoke, Lao Tuan skillfully scooped out bowls of steaming green rice porridge from the pot and placed them steadily on the makeshift small table next to him. Then he enthusiastically pointed at the bowls and invited Wu Ming and the other two to come and eat.
