Most of the players who were still in the Town of Beginnings were still in a state of panic. Therefore, after leaving the town, Eight-cloud Ink did not encounter any other players.
The bright moon hung in the night sky, and the moonlight that shone down gave the Eight Cloud Ink a layer of silver.
After opening the map, Eight-cloud Ink checked the direction of the nearest town to the Town of Beginnings, and ran in that direction.
Under the moonlight, Eight-cloud Ink's figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared on a small path in the fields.
From time to time, the system would spawn some aggressive wild monsters. When these wild monsters saw Eight-cloud Ink, they would rush over with bloodshot eyes. Then, in a dazzling arc of light, Eight-cloud Ink would kill them with the folding fan in his hand. Their bodies would turn into countless fragments and disappear into the air, contributing experience and gold coins to Eight-cloud Ink.
After more than an hour, Eight-cloud Ink finally arrived at the second town.
At this time, other than Eight-cloud Ink, there were only NPCs in the town.
Eight-cloud Ink found an NPC's grocery store and sold all the items he had obtained from killing monsters during the day, as well as the items he had obtained from killing monsters on the way here.
"Dear customer, you've got quite a bountiful harvest!"
The NPC was a very amiable-looking middle-aged man. When he saw the various items that Eight-cloud Ink had for sale in front of him, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he smiled.
Hearing the NPC take the initiative to talk to him, Eight-cloud Ink was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "It's just some items that I obtained from killing monsters. Sell them all."
"Haha! Okay! " The NPC uncle calculated all the items that Eight-cloud Ink sold, and then handed the gold coins to him, and then said, "Since you're so powerful, and since you're the first customer that I've received today, let me give you some good news!"
Good news?
Eight-cloud Ink checked the gold coins in his inventory, and then looked up at the NPC uncle.
Could it be a hidden mission?
The NPCs in SAO that will issue quests will not have a quest sign above their head. Instead, they will be as inconspicuous as ordinary NPCs. Only when a player coincidentally interacts with an NPC and meets various conditions to trigger a quest will the NPC have a chance to issue a quest to the player.
Eight-cloud Ink knew that he had probably encountered a Hidden Quest like this when the NPC took the initiative to talk to him.
"Oh? What good news? "
Eight-cloud Ink's mood immediately lifted.
These quests were extremely rare and could only be triggered by luck. The rewards were very generous. Moreover, these quests were usually unique. Once a player completed a quest, the NPC would never issue a similar quest again.
The NPC uncle turned around and looked at the shelves for a while, then placed a sheepskin map on the counter in front of Eight-cloud Ink. He then pointed to a specially marked place on the map and said, "According to the information brought back by the adventurers, there is a very precious Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox living there. If you can tame that Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox, you will become very powerful."
Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox?
Could it be a Tamed Monster?
In SAO, there were some special monsters called Tamed Monsters. If a player could tame a Tamed Monster, their strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
"I happen to have a good item that has been passed down in my family. If you can bring me some Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox's blood, I will give this treasure to you!"
"You have triggered a hidden quest: Tame the Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox!"
"Quest Requirements: Find the Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox living in the forest according to the map provided by the NPC and tame it. Obtain a small bottle of Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox's blood and return it to the NPC."
"Quest Reward: Tamed Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox x1. Can be equipped with Skyfox Robe!"
A system window suddenly appeared in front of Eight-cloud Ink's eyes.
Looking at the information displayed in the window, Eight-cloud Ink raised his eyebrows.
The reward for this quest was very good!
Without hesitation, he clicked accept. The NPC uncle immediately showed a bright smile, handed the sheepskin map to Eight-cloud Ink, and said with a smile, "Then I will wait for your good news!"
"Thank you!"
Although it was an NPC, Eight-cloud Ink still thanked him, then put away the sheepskin map, turned around, and left the grocery store.
At this time, the moon was already high in the sky. Originally, Eight-cloud Ink planned to find a hotel to rest for the night, but since he received the quest, he naturally chose to complete the quest first.
After leaving the town, Eight-cloud Ink directly opened the sheepskin map.
The sheepskin map disappeared in a flash of light, and then Eight-cloud Ink found that a certain place on his system map was marked, and it was very eye-catching.
Originally, to reach the quest location, Eight-cloud Ink had to follow the main road in a big circle, but because of his confidence in his own strength, he directly found the right direction and ran in a straight line.
This way of moving forward would definitely cause Eight-cloud Ink to plunge into a group of monsters in the wild. If it was a normal player, they would definitely not choose to do this, let alone now that the game had become a death game.
However, Eight-cloud Ink did not care about this. Along the way, when he encountered monsters that took the initiative to attack him, Eight-cloud Ink directly used the iron fan in his hand to make them disappear in a flash of light.
Not a single monster could withstand more than three hits from Eight-cloud Ink.
Under this almost violent method of moving forward, when Eight-cloud Ink arrived at the quest marked forest, his level had already increased by three levels.

Under the moonlight, a Arctic Fox quietly lay on a moss-covered rock in the forest, enjoying the tranquility of the night.
The Arctic Fox had beautiful and dazzling fur, and its body was slender and beautiful. Its nine fluffy fox tails that were larger than its body were either lazily dragging behind its back or covering its body. Occasionally, they would tremble slightly.
Suddenly, the white fox's cute little ears twitched, and it opened its eyes. It raised its head and looked around vigilantly.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the Arctic Fox.
Seeing this figure, the white fox immediately stood up and looked at the figure with its body tensed up. It opened its mouth and let out a low warning cry.
Eight-cloud Ink looked at the beautiful Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox in front of him with a difficult expression on his face.
In SAO, to tame a Tamed Monster, one must first fight it and reduce its health to red before attempting to tame it.
However, because he always took care of Blue, Eight-cloud Ink always had a very good impression of Arctic Fox.
From the bottom of his heart, he was very reluctant to make a move on Arctic Fox.
What's more, this Arctic Fox was also a Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox.
Although the Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox in front of him was just a virtual creature made up of data in SAO, Eight-cloud Ink was still unwilling to make a move.
Looking at Eight-cloud Ink who did not make a move, the Nine-Tailed Arctic Fox cautiously took a few steps back, then turned around and prepared to escape.
"Stay!"
Seeing the Arctic Fox was about to escape, Eight-cloud Ink immediately threw a stone to block the Arctic Fox's escape route, then rushed forward and tried to grab the Arctic Fox's neck.
The Arctic Fox growled. Seeing that its escape route was blocked, it turned around and rushed toward Eight-cloud Ink.
The sharp teeth in its mouth flashed under the moonlight. Eight-cloud Ink did not doubt that if he was bitten by the Arctic Fox, he would definitely receive a lot of damage.
