The answer to that question was contained within the question itself.
Because it was a weapon.
Cheng Shuili did not want to explain, and she was well aware that time was running out.
There were so many options among the cold weapons that she picked them out one by one, finally choosing a long blade that provided the highest attribute bonus.
【Refined Steel Long Blade】
【Description: Handcrafted by the weapon master Tiger Brother from the beastman town! If it is produced by Tiger Brother, it must be a masterpiece! Increases strength by three points when equipped!】
That was the best she could get.
Cheng Shuili shook her head and, while gripping the long blade, told the two beasts: "I want this one."
There were no surprises this time; Tiger Brother and Tiger Sister gladly agreed.
"There is not much time left, let us go as quickly as possible!"
Tiger Sister had been anxious the whole time, and now she could not wait a second longer.
Cheng Shuili pulled the European bread from the Abyss Ring. Since she was going to fight monsters, she had to be fully prepared.
Tiger Brother locked the door, and together with Tiger Sister, he led Cheng Shuili toward the underground storage room.
Cheng Shuili followed behind them, silently munching on the European bread.
To be honest, no matter how delicious something was, it should not be eaten too quickly; eating too fast always made one choke.
【Ding! Consumed special item "Magical European Bread"!】
【This item is guaranteed to increase attributes by 5 points! Can be used up to four times!】
【Current effect: Strength +5! Agility +2!】
【Current effect: Stamina +2! Agility +4!】
【Current effect: Strength +3! Stamina +2!】
Each subsequent use provided fewer bonuses.
Cheng Shuili remained silent as she opened her panel to check her current attributes.

She was still quite wealthy.
Every time Cheng Shuili opened her personal panel and saw the neatly organized, dense list of supplies, she felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of her heart.
All the hard work over these past few days was reflected on the panel. This feeling of being able to see the harvest directly was truly wonderful!
Tiger Brother and Tiger Sister clearly could not understand this feeling.
They had even begun to doubt if they had chosen the wrong person.
The two tiger-headed beasts whispered to each other.
"Is this human reliable?"
"She has the room keycard, as for whether she is reliable..."
She looked back at Cheng Shuili, who had just finished her European bread and was drinking water to clear her throat.
"Brother, we do not have any other choice."
Tiger Brother sighed, "I hope she can bring Tiger Brother back."
The entrance to the underground storage room was much more hidden than Cheng Shuili had imagined.
Tiger Brother led them through a narrow alley at the very edge of the town and stopped in front of what looked like an ordinary stone wall.
The wall was covered with dark green vine plants, which blended almost perfectly into the stone in the dim light.
If Cheng Shuili had to find it herself, let alone an hour, she probably would not have found it even if she visited the beastman town several more times.
"It is here." Tiger Brother's voice was very low as he brushed aside the vines with his rough claws, revealing a rusted metal door.
Tiger Sister stepped forward and pushed it open, revealing a pitch-black staircase leading downward.
Tiger Brother took an oil lamp from his waist, its dim, yellowish light dancing between the three of them and casting long shadows on the walls.
Cheng Shuili noticed that both beasts had exceptionally grave expressions; Tiger Sister's tail was flicking back and forth uneasily, while Tiger Brother's ears were pinned completely flat against his head.
They were clearly nervous.
Nervous about what?
Cheng Shuili kept her guard up; these two beasts were definitely hiding something from her.
"Have you been here before?"
Cheng Shuili asked with restraint, and the two beasts did not notice anything amiss.
Tiger Brother shook his head, "We have never gone inside."
Tiger Sister, however, said: "Hurry and go in, save time."
The more they urged her, the more suspicious it felt.
Seeing that she would not get answers this way, Cheng Shuili simply hit the nail on the head: "Are you hiding something from me?"
"I will not go down until you tell me clearly."
Tiger Sister glared, "What could we possibly be hiding from you?"
Tiger Brother felt somewhat guilty, and only after Tiger Sister gave him a pat did he follow up: "Yes, yes."
Cheng Shuili could not help but roll her eyes. She leaned directly against the door in a roguish manner and said: "Humans can only stay for two hours, and there are only forty-five minutes left. Whether your brother comes out today depends entirely on you."
Tiger Sister's claws were subconsciously leaving scratches on the wall, while Tiger Brother kept rubbing the handle of the oil lamp with his paws.
Cheng Shuili even noticed the fine beads of sweat seeping out on Tiger Brother's forehead.
Were they trying to figure out how to deceive her? Or were they planning to come clean?
Cheng Shuili waited patiently.
"We... we truly have not gone inside."
Tiger Brother finally spoke, his voice low and filled with the helplessness of someone who could no longer hold out.
"But we know what is inside."
Tiger Sister turned her head sharply to glare at her brother, a low growl emanating from her throat.
Cheng Shuili's fingers quietly moved to the hilt of her blade. Beasts should not attack humans.
But the key point of that statement was the word "should"!
Would these two beasts suddenly attack her?
From the moment Tiger Sister brought this matter up until now, it felt like a quest in every sense.
But the system had pulled its fair share of twists.
They could not possibly be luring her to this desolate place just to kill her and loot her supplies, could they? Do beasts even need supplies?
Cheng Shuili was just about to lose her patience and take action when Tiger Brother finally spoke.
Tiger Brother's yellow beast eyes contracted into thin lines in the lamplight as he told the truth: "There is a monster in the storage room."
"What kind of monster?" Cheng Shuili pressed.
Both Tiger Brother and Tiger Sister fell silent.
The air became exceptionally quiet for a moment.
Finally, Tiger Sister said in a heavy tone: "It is Tiger Brother."
