Chapter 74: Divine Earl!

When he obtained the access rights, Li Cheng also received a bunch of hidden quests. Now, his quest bar was filled with hidden quests.

It must be known that some players would never receive a single hidden quest in their entire lives. Yet, Li Cheng’s quest bar was filled with hidden quests. It could really be said that this super large-scale world event had become his own solo event!

…

After dealing with the matters in the Shadow World, Li Cheng set off for the Church of Light. This was a good opportunity to earn so naturally, he would not let it go. If he were to issue a wave of quests, many players would still come work for him.

This time, Li Cheng only brought Sylvia with him. With the giant dragon flying in the air, it would be much faster than traveling on land.

After a short flight, the shadow of the City of Light appeared in Li Cheng’s line of sight. Before they even got close, countless black dots flew over from the opposite side. In a short while, they appeared in front of him. It was the Griffin Knight of the Church of Light, a level nine flying unit.

The leader quickly saw the Viscount medal on Li Cheng’s chest and he was slightly surprised as he bowed. “Are you Lord Netherworld?”

“That’s right, it’s me.” Li Cheng nodded.

Hearing Li Cheng’s confirmation, these people let out a sigh of relief. A Frost Dragon that was close to 80 meters long almost scared them to death. At this moment, their Griffin was trembling.

The Griffin Knight comforted the Griffin while saying to Li Cheng, “Commander Vic has been waiting for you in the conference room for a long time. Please, follow me.”

The moment Li Cheng entered the City of Light, the system notification rang.

“Ding, dong! You’ve entered the City of Light. This area is only open to the good and neutral camps. Malicious fighting is strictly prohibited in the city. Please, follow the relevant rules!

“Ding, dong! Respected God-blessed Viscount, welcome back to the City of Light…”

Along with this, Sylvia’s anger could be seen. With a loud bang, she landed in the City of Light, smashing the ground into a big pit. The loud bang shocked many players in the City of Light.

“Oh my God, is that a dragon?”

“Oh my God, isn’t that dragon too fierce? With its length and size, it should be at least a Legendary soldier, right?”

“It’s Netherworld boss. I’ve seen him before. It’s really him!”

“Netherworld boss has obtained the recruitment rights of the Frost Dragon. I didn’t expect the Frost Dragon to be so fierce!”

After landing, Sylvia transformed into her human form. She was quite beautiful, but the huge crater on the ground still made everyone’s scalps go numb.

Li Cheng shrugged at the commander of the Griffin Regiment. He did not say anything and merely led Sylvia into the church.

He did not go to the meeting room immediately. Instead, he found Asilia, who was praying. With his current contribution points, he could definitely exchange for the Earl title.

After becoming an Earl, his authority would be much greater than a Viscount. In the following meetings, the weight of his words would also be much greater.

Li Cheng’s contribution points were in the tens of billions. It was more than enough to exchange for an Earl’s title.

He did not hesitate and immediately chose to exchange for the Earl’s title. After deducting his contribution points, the system’s voice rang.

“Ding, dong, you’ve successfully exchanged for the title of an Earl!

“Ding, dong, with the title of an Earl, you’ll enjoy the following privileges!

“Firstly, there will be no restrictions when receiving a mission from the Church of Light. You can receive the highest secret mission!

“Secondly, your territory will be under the protection of the Church of Light. Any attack on your territory will be considered as a declaration of war against the Church of Light!

“Thirdly, the Church of Light stores will offer you a forty percent discount on all goods.

“Fourthly, you can now recruit paladins, no more than a million people. You can also command battles with no more than one billion units in scale!

“Fifthly, you can distribute missions to the outside world. The highest level of missions you can assign are SSS-class missions. You can assign a maximum of one SSS-class mission and ten SS-class missions every month!

“Lastly, you can independently formulate a large-scale battle strategy!”

Hearing the system’s voice, Li Cheng nodded. As a high-ranking member of the Church of Light, he had to admit that the privileges enjoyed by an Earl were incredibly perverse. Compared to a Viscount, an Earl could receive top-secret quests of the Church of Light.

One had to know that this kind of top-secret quest was not as simple as farming monsters or killing a Boss. The top-secret quest was usually closely related to the overall situation of the entire continent.

Usually, it was accompanied by super large-scale battles. If it did not involve billions of people, it would be embarrassing to say that it was a top-level secret mission.

There were also millions of paladins that Li Cheng could now recruit, and they had to work for him for free. Moreover, he did not have to bear any responsibility for them besides providing them with food. Such units were the most suitable to be used as cannon fodder.

Moreover, the scale of commanding battles had also reached a billion people. How many people did Death Valley have last time? It could be said that the limit had increased by a few times!

Lastly, he could decide on a battle strategy on his own. An example would be the plan for the Shadow World this time around. Li Cheng already had a lot of authority and now, he could fight this battle however he wanted to. The rest of the good camp would have to listen to his commands. It could be said to be extremely ridiculous!

After exchanging for the title, Li Cheng looked at the requirements to obtain the Marquis title. In his previous life, no one had exchanged for it, hence, it had piqued Li Cheng’s interest.

It was not that he did not check the requirements before. If one did not have the Earl’s title, then one was not qualified to see the exchange conditions for the Marquis title.

[Marquis]

[1. 100 billion contribution points.]

[2. Command three large-scale battles that are above S-class.]

[3. Train 3,000,000 paladins up to the maximum level with the lowest level being level five.]

Seeing the three conditions displayed by the system, Li Cheng did not know what to say. He now understood why no one had exchanged for a Marquis title in his previous life.

Just the contribution points required alone were enough to stop countless people in their tracks. Even in the latter stages of the game, killing a thousand abyss demons would only help one obtain a bit of contribution points. Moreover, one had to be a high-level soldier, so it was unknown how long it would take for ordinary players to accumulate 100 billion contribution points.

To Li Cheng, who had a 10,000-times amplification system, this was still not a small number.

The second requirement was also very difficult to complete. The system’s score was evaluated from many aspects, from the casualty ratio, battle damage ratio, and so on. It would all affect the final score. Meanwhile, the S-class battles would at least allow him to face hundreds of millions of evil troops, even killing a Boss above Legendary-grade!

The third one was to train 3,000,000 paladins to their maximum level. This was relatively easier. With a 10,000-times increase in EXP, as long as Li Cheng brought them to a few secret realms, their EXP could be maxed out immediately
