The Almighty Ring

Chapter 917: Move Forward! Young Man!

After accepting the quest, Jiang Fei checked the details of the quest. This quest was unlike the others Jiang Fei was used to. It was an open-ended quest.

Open-ended quests were less strict in terms of sharing rewards. It did not require other players to form a group with Jiang Fei. As long as one was on the same map and contributed to the quest, one would be able to earn the associated rewards.

Most open-ended quests were large in scale. As there were limitations as to how many members each group could have, the system would issue such quests to allow large numbers of players to participate in a specific quest.

The Dragon Slaying Battle quest was very simple, which only required Jiang Fei to work with the Nephilim army to destroy all of the Dragon race’s members who entered the Dark Faction’s territory. Players would be able to earn rewards based on their level of contribution in the quest. Although Jiang Fei was the one who accepted the quest, his main purpose was only to appear on the battlefield. In terms of rewards, he would earn the same ratio of rewards based on his own contribution.

“Ahh! It seems that the rewards I can earn have decreased due to my previous poor record.” Jiang Fei sighed. Jiang Fei used to earn much better rewards due to his higher Reputation points. However, since he had failed to complete the Nephilim King’s previous quest, he would not be able to earn any additional rewards for the current quest.

Despite not having additional rewards, Jiang Fei was still much more capable of killing his enemies than other players. If Jiang Fei went all out in killing the Dragon race’s members, he would earn a significant amount of Experience points and equipment.

“Alright! Off you go! I hope you won’t let me down this time!” Although the Nephilim King did not criticize Jiang Fei out of respect for Ou Yezi, he still gave Jiang Fei a fair warning.

“Don’t worry, your highness. I won’t let you down again!” Jiang Fei nodded. Since there was not much going on in the real world, Jiang Fei would not log out of the game without prior notice.

After bidding farewell to Augustus and returning to the Demon Dragon Fortress, Jiang Fei discussed with Lady Casanova about the quest. After all, Seven Stars Warrior and the others were not online. So, Jiang Fei could only reach out to Lady Casanova.

“I think we should share the rewards with the other guilds so that they could help lift some of the burdens off of our shoulders. After all, the Dragon race is not easy to defeat!” Lady Casanova said after some thought.

“Yeah! I think so too!” Jiang Fei nodded. Lady Casanova had spoken his mind. The Dragon race was full of adult Dragons which were at least ranked at Lord or above. Although other players supported Jiang Fei, he still felt immensely pressured.

“Since you agree with my idea, leave the rest to me!” Lady Casanova said when Jiang Fei expressed that he agreed with her idea. She took on the responsibility of reaching out to the other guilds to establish a better relationship with these guilds. After all, the Empyreal Dragon had been hoarding too much of the benefits.

“Alright! Do as you see fit.” Jiang Fei nodded. Since Lady Casanova was willing to take on the responsibility on her own, Jiang Fei naturally obliged.

After making sure everything was properly arranged, Jiang Fei was left with not much else to do. Although he had accepted the quest to fight against the Dragon race, he and the other players would still have to wait for the Nephilim and Oceanic race to take action first.

Jiang Fei then spent the remaining time with Sylphy and the other ladies before logging off at 6 o’clock in the morning. Although Jiang Fei initially could not understand why Dawnlight was set to be accessible only at night, he eventually found out that the game was designed by the military to develop man-made souls. After all, the game was not created to make money. The military had set a time limitation to make it easier for them to monitor the progress of their experimental software.

After Jiang Fei logged out of the game, 0541 suddenly spoke to him.

“Captain…” 0541 sounded hesitant.

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Fei asked confusedly.

“You can’t waste any more time. You must work harder in the game!” 0541 was trying not to breach the rules of its programming. As such, it could not directly give Jiang Fei obvious hints.

“Damn! You need to tell me what I must do!” Jiang Fei exclaimed. He was doing as much as he could in the game according to 0541’s advice. However, Jiang Fei had no clue as to what he should focus on in the game.

“I… You don’t have the rights to inquire…” 0541 was trying to avoid breaching its limitations and to give Jiang Fei hints. However, it still failed in the end. Planet Namek was very good at designing flawless limitations in Artificial Intelligence such that is was basically impossible to avoid them.

“You don’t have to give me a hint directly. Perhaps you could try using another way to guide me!” Jiang Fei knew there was something important 0541 wanted to tell him. However, 0541 could not breach the restrictions in its programming. Therefore, Jiang Fei tried to look for other ways to go around it.

“Captain, do you still remember the Unyielding Quest from the Dragon God? Please complete it if possible!” 0541 said after hesitating for nearly half an hour.

“Unyielding Quest?” Jiang Fei was stunned by what 0541 said. However, he quickly recalled the quest.

Quest Name: Move forward, young man!

Quest Objective: Attain the Reputation of Infatuated with 10,000 females!

Quest Reward: 10,000,000,000 Experience points, 1,000,000 gold coins, 5,000 Dragon race Reputation points, mysterious equipment.

Remark 1: During the quest period, your rate of acquiring female Reputation points is increased by 100%!

Remark 2: This quest cannot be forfeited!

“Damn. Could you be talking about this stupid quest?” Jiang Fei finally recalled the quest 0541 was talking about.

“Yes! Captain!” 0541 said.

“Get out of here!” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes. He was already occupied with a lot of females. 0541 was now asking him to woo up to 10,000 females. It was too much for Jiang Fei.

“Captain, I can’t tell you what to do exactly. However, if you complete this quest, there is a 95% chance of achieving your initial target!” 0541 said.

“Oh?!” Jiang Fei suddenly realized what 0541 meant.

0541 was most probably talking about how he needed to make an important lady fall in love with him. This lady would play a huge part in the future. The only problem was that 0541 could not tell Jiang Fei who this lady was. Therefore, it hoped that Jiang Fei could complete the quest of wooing 10,000 ladies as there was a large possibility that this specific lady would be among one of them.

“Damn! You want me to woo 10,000 women for the sake of one girl? You are truly the worst.” Although Jiang Fei had finally caught onto what 0541 was trying to tell him, he was speechless.
