511 Top Secret No. 093 (2/2)
”Command rejected. Insufficient authorization. Top Secret 093 requires Captain level authorization. You are currently a Captain Representative. Command rejected.”
”Woah. What is going on?” cried Jiang Fei, surprised.
”Captain! I'm truly sorry that I cannot reveal any of the information. However, I can tell you this. The more time you spend in the game ”Dawn Break” the more benefits it would bring you!”
”Urgh. Fine, keep your secrets then, ” Jiang Fei scoffed. Although he was annoyed at the fact that he was kept in the dark, he knew that 0541 would not do anything to harm him. Jiang Fei heeded 0541's advice and slept.
”You're late… AGAIN!”
Due to the difference in time zone, by the time Jiang Fei had logged into the game, it was already past the usual login time.
”Hoho. Sorry, I had something to do,” said Jiang Fei as he continued where he left off with the Sea Serpents.
Only after more than ten hours of hellish grind, Jiang Fei had successfully collected 1,000 Nerve Strands.
”Finally…” Jiang Fei let out a long sigh of relief. He quickly got back to the beach and flew toward the Demon Flame Fortress on the Skygliding Dragon.
There, he made his way to the Commander's Hall. Yesterday, when he was back in the hall, only Ivan was there. Today, not only all three high officers were there, the Saint of the Light was there as well!
”Lord Commander, I have collected all the 1,000 Nerve Strands that you had asked of me,” said Jiang Fei as he bowed down.
”I knew that you could do it easily!”
”Ding! Quest completed!”
”Ding! You have obtained 11,000,000 Experience Points, 850 Gold Coins!”
”Ding! You have gained 1,000 Reputation Points of the Demon Flame Fortress!”
The amount of experience points Jiang Fei had just received had increased Jiang Fei's experience gauge by only 12%. That only showed Jiang Fei the real amount of experience points required to level up.
While Jiang Fei was lamenting about the cruel concept of the neverending grinding, Ivan came to him.
”Brother, I understand that you must be tired after finishing this mission. However, the war between the Light Factions draws near and I need your help to replenish the supplies,” said Ivan.
”Ding! Frontline Commander Ivan has a quest for you: Materials for War 2! Will you accept it?”
”I am but to serve the Lord Commander as he wishes,” said Jiang Fei as he accepted the quest. He understood that there would be more quests coming after this one since it was a series of quests that would finally lead to something big.
Just as he was about to leave the hall, he saw the Saint of the Light giving him a certain look.
”Huh? What the-”
Jiang Fei was stunned when he saw that look in her eyes. Jiang Fei felt a shiver down his spine and through his body. It was the effect of the title, Romeo in play. The hostile NPC was now friendly toward him. From the look of her gaze, it seemed that there was a quest that he could partake in!
