Chapter 288 The Rights of the Lord of the Holy Land: Issuing Quests!
"Ice King, how's it going? My talent seems pretty average. They said it's god-level, but I don't feel all that strong. And this Hall of Glory—they made it sound like some holy place, but it's so empty. What's up with that?"
Alan sighed inwardly. "Little Sword, your talent's legit. Why don't you go farm some monsters first? Stack up that attack power and range."
Little Sword pouted. "Ice King, do you think I talk too much too?"
Alan laughed. "Didn't say that."
Little Sword looked like a kicked puppy. "Then will you team up with me? You can keep all the XP and loot. It's so boring grinding alone with no one to talk to. People used to team up with me, but after a few runs, they'd ghost me. I have no idea why. I mean, look at me—I'm adorable, right"
Alan was silent.
Little Sword was indeed very cute.
But unfortunately, she had a mouth.
Alan hesitated, feeling that saying such things might be a bit impolite.
"Little Sword, I have my own tasks to do. I have to go."
Alan used the Royal Portal, took a step, and disappeared.
Little Sword looked at the spot where Alan disappeared, pouting helplessly. "I just like to talk, what's wrong with that?"
Alan didn't care about Little Sword anymore; chatterboxes really gave him a headache.
One Arrow Skyward and Melee Mage finally accepted Alan's friend request.
Alan communicated briefly with them, stating his intentions.
Compared to Little Sword, One Arrow Skyward and Melee Mage were more composed.
Not particularly excited.
But when Alan mentioned giving them god-level talent awakening stones and inviting them to join the sacred place, they couldn't stay calm.
They agreed without hesitation and prepared to come to the Hall of Glory immediately.
Alan had already given the god-level talent awakening stones to Leif, so he let Leif handle it.
He had his own things to do.
Like mastering the True Meaning of Archery.
If it weren't for that, Alan would've already tracked down Silver-Eyed Nicholas.
But now, with the True Meaning of Archery in play, he was determined to fully grasp it before making any moves.
With the Code of Life and Death stacking his health, Alan wasn't in a hurry.
After all, what he lacked now wasn't damage, but effective damage.
With his full firepower, he could deal over two billion damage per second. Who could withstand that?
But his arrows moved like molasses, making them easy to block or dodge.
That's why cranking up his projectile speed was a game-changer.
By mastering the True Meaning of Archery, he could boost his arrow speed by thirty percent—a serious upgrade.
After a quick think, Alan shot messages to Blade Warrior and James.
He told them to keep tabs on the folks from Netherland and the old Oceanus Kingdom.
After all, he had a pre-mission scroll of the Gods' Blessing tied to that mess.
After handling these trivial matters, Alan gave the quest scroll that might lead to a god-level hidden class to Leif, asking him to give it to One Arrow Skyward.
With a god-level talent and a god-level hidden class, plus his excellent combat skills, One Arrow Skyward would definitely be a formidable opponent.
If it were an ordinary NPC, Alan wouldn't trust them completely.
He trusted Leif because of previous tasks.
After delegating these chores, Alan began his Retreats study.
With the Creation Jade Plate's support, he was learning at warp speed.
Before he knew it, sixteen days flew by.
After non-stop grinding, Alan finally mastered the True Meaning of Archery.
He flicked his wrist, and an arrow zipped through a pillar in a flash.
"So fast."
Alan's eyes lit up. His arrow flight speed had significantly increased, and with his attack speed and damage, his combat power had greatly improved.
"Silver-Eyed Nicholas, are you ready to face my arrows?" Alan smiled and prepared to leave.
But just as he took out his Royal Portal, Leif came running. "Master, other sacred places have started recruiting disciples, but we haven't made any moves."
"Didn't I recruit a few already?"
Leif grinned, "Master, you've got a sharp eye. The ones you picked are all top-tier, but a sacred place can't just roll with a handful of people."
Alan thought for a sec. "Then you handle the recruiting. I've got other stuff to deal with. Oh, and when you're scouting, don't just look for talent. Character matters just as much."
Leif nodded eagerly. "Master, even though you're an adventurer, as our master, you're getting a cut every month."
Alan's eyes lit up. The previous Hall of Glory master had been so generous he hadn't even considered this.
"Also, Master, there's a function you haven't tapped into yet."
"What function?"
"As the head of the sacred place, you can dish out quests to other adventurers. You can check the details with the Palace Lord Token."
Alan was pleasantly surprised. Previously, only NPCs issued quests. He didn't expect he could issue quests too.
"Master, just put your consciousness into the Palace Lord Token, and you'll see."
Alan nodded, took out the Palace Lord Token, and immersed his consciousness into it.
An attribute panel appeared.
"Respected master of the sacred place, welcome to the quest space."
Name: Ice King.
Sacred Place: Hall of Glory.
Quests available this month: 10,000.
Quests issued this month: 0.
Personal rewards: None.
Rewards available for issuing quests this month:
Free attribute points: 1,000,000 points
Equipment of various grades: 10,000 pieces (click to view details).
Skill books of various grades: 10,000 books (click to view details).
Pet eggs of various grades: 100 (click to view details).
Alan was a bit numb after looking at it.
"Can I just grab all this stuff?" He was pumped.
He spotted a ton of killer items in there—equipment, skills, pet eggs, all gold grade or higher.
If he could snag it all, that'd be insane.
"No, the master of the sacred place can only issue quests and set rewards. You get a 10% reward commission when adventurers complete quests."
Alan suddenly had a bold idea. Could he set a quest to hand someone a Copper Coin and reward them with a million free attribute points?
"Friendly reminder, the reward must match the quest's difficulty. If it's too easy, no payout."
Alan frowned. Looks like gaming the system wasn't an option.
"Can I issue any quest?"
The prompt chimed in again. "Sure, but the reward must match the quest's difficulty."
