“Ding! You have obtained the Quest Granting Permission (limited)!”

“Ahh?” Jiang Fei was stunned when he received the system notification. He then checked his own attribute page.

Limited Quest Granting Permission (Temporary)

Remark: You can issue quests related to attacking the Dragon race’s nest. Quest rewards must be tied to the quest’s level of difficulty. You have to bear the excess amount of reward.

There was a table of rewards beneath the section of remarks. There were lists of different types of quests and corresponding rewards. If Jiang Fei issued a simple quest but was rewarded handsomely, he would have to bear the cost of compensating the excessive rewards.

“What does this mean? Am I eligible to issue quests now?” Jiang Fei wondered.

According to his new attributes, Jiang Fei could now issue quests to other players. Of course, there were certain limitations to that ability. He could not issue quests with rewards of hundreds of millions of Experience points or millions of gold coins to comrades around him.

Due to the system’s limitation, Jiang Fei would have to bear any excessive reward on his own. For example, for a quest which had a limit of 1,000,000 Experience points as rewards, Jiang Fei would have to provide the remaining 1,000,000 Experience points if he promised to reward a player with 2,000,000 Experience points in the beginning. The same rule applied to giving gold coins as rewards.

If Jiang Fei promised to give away equipment beyond the system’s limitations, he would have to fork out his own equipment. That meant he could not randomly promise any kind of reward without checking the system’s limitations first.

“Alright! Verdure Glider, off you go!” The Nephilim King waved his hands after giving Jiang Fei the Quest Granting Permission.

“I did not know such permissions existed! This is interesting!” Jiang Fei mumbled to himself after leaving the Nephilim King’s Palace.

Although the acquired permission did not directly benefit Jiang Fei, it would allow Jiang Fei to provide benefits to people around him.

Even if Jiang Fei did not want to fork out his own wealth, the system would reward players handsomely for completing the quests issued by Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei could also adjust the value of the rewards according to his own whim. For example, Jiang Fei could decide any amount of Experience points between 3,000,000 and 10,000,000 or any amount of gold coins between 500 and 2,000 for a quest which required players to kill a Level 80 Master. Thus, Jiang Fei was able to choose to reward his own guild members handsomely while giving very little rewards to players who did not treat Empyreal Dragon respectfully.

Through the newly acquired permission, Jiang Fei could help Empyreal Dragon in enticing a group of loyal alliance members. He could also use the opportunity to bully his enemies. Moreover, Jiang Fei could even unite all the players in the Dark Faction and indirectly take control of the commanding rights of the entire Dark Faction.

In all honesty, Jiang Fei found it challenging to become the leader of the entire Dark Faction in the war against the Dragon race as many of the more prominent guilds had not fully succumbed to his influences. Therefore, Jiang Fei could not convince these more prominent guilds to hand over their commanding rights to Jiang Fei voluntarily.

However, if Jiang Fei gave orders through issuing quests, not only would the more prominent guilds benefit from completing these quests, they would also be able to look after their own reputation. Naturally, they would be more willing to cooperate with Jiang Fei.

Furthermore, Jiang Fei also had plans to acquire similar permissions from the Nephilim King after the war against the Dragon race had ended, and before the war against the Light Faction began. Since he was technically the Nephilim King’s son-in-law, it should not be too difficult a challenge.

Through the Quest Granting Permission, Jiang Fei would be able to solidify his position as the leader of all of Dark Faction’s players. Thus, he would be able to unify all players in the Dark Faction and gain an absolute advantage in the fight against the Light Faction.

Once Jiang Fei returned to the Demon Dragon Fortress, he did not immediately summon Lady Casanova and the rest. He also did not seek out his female companions. Instead, he looked for a quiet place to think.

Although the Nephilim King gave Jiang Fei the task of destroying the Dragon race’s nest after most of the Dragons had been lured away, there would still be some Dragons remaining that were rather challenging to defeat for most players. Sacrifices needed to be made.

Therefore, Jiang Fei had to come up with a plan to minimize the losses faced by Empyreal Dragon and other guilds while maximizing the benefits to the latter for their sacrifices.

Coming up with such a tough plan required a lot of brainpower. Therefore, Jiang Fei had spent an entire morning formulating the plan. By afternoon, he finally had a clear idea in mind.

“All group leaders, please come to the guild’s main hall. We need to have a discussion!” Jiang Fei sent a message to the guild’s official channel.

“Woah, that’s very formal!”

“If the guild master is asking to meet us, there can only be good news!”

“I think so too. It must be a big deal!”

***

As the members of Empyreal Dragon had a heated discussion, many of them stopped what they were doing and hurried over to the Demon Dragon Fortress’s main hall.

Very soon, the guild’s main hall was packed with over a hundred players. After all, the entire guild consisted of over a hundred thousand members. There would undoubtedly be several high-ranking officials. Of course, only a few of these were core members.

This time, Jiang Fei wanted to issue pre-quests for members of the guild to earn better rewards. Therefore, he summoned all of the group leaders over.

“I have something positive to announce!” Jiang Fei said straightforwardly.

“Ha! I knew it! It must be something good!” Little Rain called out.

“I have acquired an extraordinary permission from the Nephilim King. It’s too complicated to explain. In simple terms, I can now issue quests!” Jiang Fei said.

“Damn! That’s awesome! Guild master, give us an easy quest that rewards us with 10,000,000,000 Experience points!” Little Rain shouted out.

“Get lost!” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes. Easy quests were everywhere. If he were to reward Little Rain with 10,000,000,000 Experience points, Little Rain would rank number one in the Level Ranking Board while Jiang Fei himself would have to return to the Beginner’s Village.

“Guild master, come on. We’re all family. Don’t take it so seriously!” Anew Returner laughed as he said.

“It’s not about taking things too seriously. There are limitations to the rewards I am able to give you. It must be in accordance with the level of difficulty of the quests. I can only give you the maximum amount of rewards for each quest based on the system’s limitation. Each of the quests would provide rewards based on the player’s reputation toward me. If I offer anything more than that, I will have to bear the extra costs!” Jiang Fei explained.
