Perfect Memento in Strict Sense Chapter 15: Task Complete
With the powerful attribute, Yayumi Moku suddenly stopped his body's forward movement, dodged to the side and avoided the incoming white fox. In the brief moment when the white fox was stunned for not hitting him, he transformed his left hand into a knife and slashed it at the white fox's neck!
"Sorry!"
The white fox let out a mournful cry and was smashed into the ground, unable to get up for a long time. Its HP gauge also dropped slightly.
"Huh? Your defense is quite high!"
The white fox, who had been hit by his own HP drain and yet only fell by this much, left Yakumo Mukuro slightly surprised.
If it were a normal monster of the first layer, with just one slash of his hand knife, its HP would have dropped by at least half.
When the white fox got up from the ground again, the vigilant color in Ba Yunmo's eyes became even more intense.
"It's still necessary to take action..."
With a sigh, Bachiko Moku returned with a folding fan, flashed onto the bed, and prepared to attack the white fox with both hands.
For a moment, the white fox and Yakumo Tatsu's figures merged into one in this forest!
Although as a boundary youkai, Yakumo Mukuro has spent almost all his time in the Lost House with Shiki learning how to use Boundary powers or studying magic knowledge from the magical books borrowed from Koumakan, he hasn't practiced martial arts at all. However, as a youkai, Yakumo Mukuro's physical abilities are many times stronger than those of humans, and this is reflected in the game, allowing him to fight bare-handed against the white fox in front of him, which has clearly reached the level of a field boss, and even overpower it.
BOOM!!
It was unknown how many times the white fox had been slapped into the ground by Yiyun Mo, raising a cloud of dust. HP finally dropped to less than one-tenth of its full value and turned a piercing crimson red.
At this time, Hachiguma's HP gauge had just been reduced by nearly half, turning yellow.
Looking at the white fox that fell to the ground and no longer got up, Yayumi Tsumi walked forward, squatted down, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the white fox's body, whispering a sentence: "Submit!"
His right hand suddenly emitted a soft blue glow that enveloped the white fox.
"Failed to capture! Four chances left!"
The system's pop-up window made Bachiru Moku mutter a low "hmm".
"Surrender!"
"Failed to capture! Three chances left!"
"Surrender!"
"Failed to capture! There's still a second chance!"
"Surrender!"
"Failed to capture! One more chance!"
"Surrender!"
"Victory achieved!"
Looking at the white fox that was finally subdued in this last chance of subjugation, Yakumo Suke finally let out a relaxed breath.
If this last attempt also fails, then this white fox will never be subdued by itself, and this hidden task will also be declared a complete failure!
"Squeak!"
The conquered white fox rubbed against the palm of Yayumi's hand, then nimbly climbed onto his arm, crawling up to his shoulder and wrapping its small body around his neck like a scarf. The nine fluffy tails scattered across his chest and back.
"What a cute little thing!"
He stretched out his hand and teased the nine-tailed white fox wrapped around his neck, and Hachiguma Sumi smiled lightly.
"Let's just call you Bai then! If in the future I can turn you from a fantasy into reality, I'll give you the surname of Eight Clouds!"
White!
Baiyun Mo's words were not a joke, the fantasy seeds in his spiritual sea originally had the ability to transform things in fantasies into real existence. If they were strong enough, the fantasy seeds could even directly create worlds that originally belonged to fantasies!
This is also why Bachun Mo would say such a thing.
Opening the system panel, Yiyun Mo looked at Bai's attributes.
Demon King: White (Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit)
Level: 10
Experience: 0/6000
Demon category: Battle type (can grow)
Skill: Celestial Fox Charm - A unique charm technique of the fox spirits, every 5 seconds there is a 2% chance to charm enemies, making them unable to move for 1 second.
Skill: Lucky (Passive) — Increases the master's luck attribute, improves all NPCs' favorability towards the master, and reduces the triggering conditions for hidden quests.
As expected!
Baiyun Mo sighed in admiration, no wonder it was the demon of the hidden task reward, not only could it help its master fight, but it also had two skills, one active and one passive.
With a heart full of joy and wearing white, Yayoi Moku turned around and left the forest, heading towards the town.
Nature still goes in a straight line, and the wild monsters along the way were beaten again by Cao Cao.
When Bachyun Mo returned to the town, the originally quiet town had a lively atmosphere.
Although some players are still filled with fear and despair in their hearts like headless flies in the starting town, those who have experienced the closed test and some veteran players who have been playing games for many years have already calmed down and started to devote themselves to strategy.
After all, this world still speaks with strength.
The white Eight Trigrams tattoo on his neck inevitably attracted almost every player's attention.
"What's with the fox on that person's neck?"
"Could it be that you're possessed by an evil spirit?"
"Strange... Sealed Test is something I didn't know about, but what other hidden tasks will give away Familiars?"
"That's amazing..."
Fortunately, most of the players who were able to enter the second town at this time were closed testers, so they did not hold a hostile attitude towards Yakumo Sumi, who was mistaken for a "closed tester".
If it were to be replaced by the majority of ordinary players who are still in the starting town, seeing Yakumo Sumi, whom they consider a closed tester, would certainly provoke their hostility.
Ignoring the gazes of the people around her, Yayoi Mochizuki went straight to a small grocery store located in an inconspicuous alley.
"Hey? You're back so soon?"
The uncle NPC saw Yayoi Moku and greeted him with excitement. When he saw the white feather on Yayoi's neck, his eyes lit up even more.
"Will you deliver the quest item - Nine-Tailed Fox's Blood * 1 bottle?"
Looking at the popped-up system window, Bachiko nodded and immediately a soft cry came from the white cat on her neck. A crystal bottle containing a small amount of fresh blood appeared in front of the NPC uncle.
Uncle happily took over Bai's fresh blood and turned around to find a pure white long gown from the warehouse and handed it to Bachiroku.
"Congratulations on completing the task, you have obtained a growth equipment: Tian Hu Long Pao!"
Along with the system prompt, Yiyun Mo received the Tian Hu Changpao from the NPC's hand.
That was a white-based golden-edged long gown with dense and comfortable fluff at the cuffs and collar, decorated with various gorgeous embroidery ribbons at the sleeves, waist and hem. With a light touch, the Tian Hu Long Gown was put on Bai Yunmo's body in a flash of blue light.
"Finally don't have to wear that ugly novice leather armor!"
Smiling happily, Yayoi Moku took out the Iron Bone Fan and tucked it into his waist.
As a growth-type equipment, the Fox Spirit Cloak has attributes that not only surpass those of Tong's original Midnight Cape but also looks much better in appearance.
Once again, on the way to complete the task, Ba Yun Mo took out the various miscellaneous items that had been dropped by the wild monsters and sold them. What surprised Ba Yun Mo was that because Bai had increased his luck, the NPCs' favorability towards him had naturally risen a lot, and Ba Yun Mo actually received a warm welcome from the owner of the miscellaneous goods store. This time, there were fewer miscellaneous items than last time, but the amount of money gained was much higher.
"Wow! Such a great thing actually exists!"
Baiyun Mo is in a great mood.
"Well, I'll just go rest for now then..."
Muttering to himself, Hachirin Moku directly opened the map, found the location of the inn, and left the alley under the farewell words of the grocery store NPC owner.
