Low Grade Pet Token

As soon as Arthur saw the mottled saucer, he knew the quest has gone as expected and the information had been right.

But with the notification popping up, it all but confirmed it.

~Ding~

——

'Ahahaha!' Arthur internally rejoiced.

The reward was what he had been striving for since the start.

"This is satisfactory," Arthur said with a smile and quickly took the reward, not letting the others look on anymore.

His choice surprised the other beggars as they almost couldn't believe someone would willingly accept junk. Of course, this was something that they thought was junk. In reality, it was something that could easily cause a war between the players.

Not just now, but even a month later, a Pet token was something that simply didn't come into existence. Or at the very least, no player had discovered a way of getting it that early on.

The only exception to it was this particular quest.

"You're really taking it kid?" the one-armed beggar asked.

"Yep. I'm fine." Arthur said before doing a 180 and leaving the alley.

The others were left watching his back, still having not recovered from it.

"Strange kid…" they muttered.

Sizzle!

But while they were thinking about Arthur's choice, the sound of fat sizzling could be heard.

"HEY! You're cooking without us!" The beggars soon noticed the old beggar cooking a slab of meat on the fire.

"Fuck off! This is mine!" The old beggar kicked the others away.

Soon a small fight ensued but the old beggar seemingly defeated all of the other beggars.

This was of course, not of concern to Arthur as he simply returned to the inn. He needed to get his thoughts in order, as well as start with the next stage of his plan.

'I got the pet token finally… I almost thought it wouldn't be given…' Arthur thought to himself as he sat down on the bed.

The Hunt for Razer Tusk Boar quest was something several players had attempted in the past, but none had succeeded other than the one player whom Arthur was following. The quest was simply too difficult and the players were not strong enough for it.

Even if they reached level 10 which was the limit of the newbie village, they would still find themselves being killed by the beast. Arthur could recall, the players banding in a group of ten and trying to hunt down the beast.

But even that was useless as the Razer Tusk boar still managed to mow them down, impale them all or trample them under its hooves.

Eventually, the players just gave up on it, considering it to be a programmed 'impossible' quest. Such quests were common in games and were supposed to either prevent the player from going into certain areas by placing a strong enemy or to have the quest as a standard.

If the players knew there was something so strong, they would look forward to reaching the same standard.

At the same time, players could test their skills against a beast like this.

After all, the Razer Tusk Boar was the Strongest mob near the newbie village. It also gave the players a taste of what was to come beyond the newbie village.

One could also find the Razer Tusk Boars outside of the Newbie village and in several different fields. Defeating one was considered a way of getting vindication and made one feel satisfied with the growth they had.

It wasn't that players hadn't tried other ways of killing the Razer Tusk Boar either, but only the method that Arthur had used was something that was viable. And for an almost impossible quest like this, the reward was similar.

A Pet Token was precisely what it meant. It could allow a player to turn a mob into a pet.

Of course, there were many limitations to it, but even a low grade Pet Token was something that could be sold for a massive amount. Arthur could still recall when the very first Pet Token had appeared in the market, there were people trying to hunt down the seller instead of trying to buy it.

After all, they knew they had a better chance at killing and looting the Pet Token from the seller than ever being able to buy it. There were plenty of Golden Whales in the game who could throw large amounts of money and buy it outright.

The only solace that the players had was the bidding war between the Golden Whales. The time they had to find was the same as how long it would take for the Golden Whales to finish their bidding and win it.

Once the token was sold, there was no way they would be able to get it.

But now here was Arthur with a Pet Token in his hands. He looked at it closely, touching its every groove and cranny.

"I certainly cannot die now," Arthur said to himself.

If he died, the Pet Token would drop and could be picked up by anyone. Not to mention, he couldn't die either, since he had other things that would go to trash if that happened.

"Haa… I should get started on the next part now." Arthur said to himself and stood up.

He sorted out his inventory and stored the items he needed for now. The rest of the items he left in the inn. Having paid for two days, the Inn would be a safe place to keep them and no one would touch them.

It was already evening by the time Arthur left the Inn and only a faint line of red could be seen in the horizon.

With the sun close to disappearing, Arthur embarked on his next journey.

"Now then… The path should mostly be cleared by the players I think." Arthur muttered to himself.

Leaving through the southern exit of the Newbie village, Arthur went into the forest,
