Chapter 1700: Kylie's Decision
After hanging up on Liu Fu, Lin Huang checked his current account authorization status instantly.
"Member: Lin Huang"
"Gender: Male"
"Authorization level: Rank-S"
"Qualification Assessment: Grade-S+"
"Combat Strength: Lower-rank Lord-level"
"Affiliate Organizations: Dynasty (Two-Star), Misery (Two-Star)"
"Remarks: He killed Raider's peak upper-rank lord-level powerhouse Nine Snake with his lower-rank lord-level combat strength."
...
As expected, his personal information page was altered to Rank-S, and there was an update on his related information as well.
He looked at the exact contents of the Rank-S authorization status in detail. He found out that it was indeed as Liu Fu said, Rank-S members were almost considered to be Royal's biological sons.
Firstly, Rank-S members could conduct trades of all kinds in Royal without having to pay the handling fees.
This authorization perk was not only useful in Royal, but was also applicable to all of Royal's affiliate organizations. As long as it was registered under Royal, he would not have to pay their handling fees.
To Lin Huang, this was the perfect time to use his new Rank-S authorization status.
He could seize the opportunity to list a bunch of items on the auction. The Rank-S authorization would save him the handling fees.
Not to mention, the money-saving authorization perk was only considered an insignificant benefit among the many authorization perks included in the upgrade.
Among all of them, Lin Huang thought that the most practical perk was the one that gave him complete access to all trial zones.
He could not help but compare it to the description of his previous authorization status.
"Rank-A Authorized Member: Access to any grade-0 to grade-3 trial zones, 30 grade-4 trial zones, ten grade-5 trial zones and ten great world trial zones."
"Rank-S Authorized Member: Unlimited access to any trial zones (a small number of forbidden areas are excluded from this clause)."
One must know that the trial zones were either ruins or secret zones. In reality, it was equivalent to one instanced dungeon.
It would mean that Lin Huang had countless instanced dungeons available for him to grind. The resources he could obtain would not be limited to the great world he was currently in.
Even the authorization status for the members of his affiliated organizations received a qualitative upgrade.
"Rank-A Authorized Member: Access to any grade-0 trial zones, 80 grade-1 trial zones, 20 grade-2 trial zones, ten grade-3 trial zones, three grade-4 trial zones, one grade-5 trial zone and one great world trial zone."
"Rank-S Authorized Member: Unlimited access to trial zones of any grades, any great world trial zones and most public trial zones in the universe."
Theoretically, the treatment Royal provided was enough for their Rank-S members to train and cultivate a batch of lord-level subordinates.
Lin Huang thought for a moment and registered the Sword Alliance as an affiliate organization under him.
Considering that Sword1 and the rest were at the heavenly god-level, he registered the Sword Alliance as a grade-4 organization.
After passing the Royal headquarters' assessment, he could send anyone and everyone from the Sword Alliance into the trial zones' instanced dungeons that best suited their levels.
Lin Huang glanced through the remaining authorization perks. Very soon, he saw one that he was interested in—the convoy authorization.
Rank-S members could set up their own convoys.
The total quota of such convoys was ten. As soon as the setup process was completed, all his convoys would possess Royal's Rank-A membership identity. They would enjoy all of the Rank-A member authorization perks that Royal provided.
Rank-S members could add, change or remove a convoy as they wished, as long as the quota requirement was met.
Seeing this authorization perk, Lin Huang thought of Bloody and Kylie first.
The both of them would possess Royal's Rank-A membership identity if he assigned them a convoy quota. He could totally grow the Nephilic Judge Tribe as an organization under him.
He only dwelled on this thought for a second before telling his idea and the information regarding Royal to Bloody and Kylie via telepathic voice transmission.
Later on, he proceeded to examine the remaining authorization perks.
"Resource subsidies..." Lin Huang soon noticed an authorization perk that had not existed prior to this.
"Rank-S members can apply for an annual resource subsidy once per year. They can choose a subsidy with a value equivalent to a supreme-grade Dao Weapon..."
"The subsidy authorization perk can be accumulated and stored without being claimed over the course of many years. The value of the subsidy would stack cumulatively..."
"This means if someone sets it aside and doesn't claim it for tens of thousands of years, they can apply to claim a subsidy that's equivalent to tens of thousands of supreme-grade Dao Weapons?!" Lin Huang widened his eyes.
One had to say that Royal was generous indeed.
A Rank-S member's annual benefit was comparable to a supreme-grade Dao Weapon.
To his surprise, this benefit could even be accumulated.
However, when he thought about it carefully, Lin Huang figured that such a reward would be inconsequential to other Rank-S members.
The reason being that, as Liu Fu had said, most Rank-S members in Royal were at the dao-level.
There were only a few members who were below the dao-level.
A supreme-grade Dao Weapon would look pretty valuable from the perspective of a lower-rank Lord.
However, to dao-level powerhouses, supreme-grade Dao Weapons would not interest them at all.
When he thought up to this point, Lin Huang instantly understood the reason why Royal set up a subsidy system that could accumulate over time.
To Lin Huang, the accumulation would not mean much either.
It had only been a few years since he started cultivating. Tens of thousands of years aside, he even had no idea what level he would be at after cultivating a hundred years from now.
Naturally, he would choose to claim it every year.
Apart from resource subsidies, there was another reward that made Lin Huang happy.
The reward he would receive from being upgraded to Rank-S was a dao-level item.
Just when Lin Huang was thinking about what kind of dao-level item he should pick as his upgrade reward, Kylie and Bloody seemed to have arrived at a conclusion from their discussion and replied to his telepathic voice transmission.
"We've decided to accept the convoy quotas."
Kylie sent a couple of voice transmissions consecutively.
"I only came to this decision after much thinking. At first, my concern was that I couldn't decide things for the Nephilic Judge Tribe as I wished. The reason being that they might not be willing to become dependent on Royal. However, what Bloody said makes sense. I'm also one of the Nephilic Judges. I can try my best to change the Nephilic Judge Tribe's fate.
"This is the only Nephilic Judge Tribe left in this great world. There are only a mere hundreds of individuals left, and their fertility rate is extremely low. Although it's a top grade-6 organization that looks majestic from the outside, in reality, they're barely scraping by among all the other organizations that are their equals".
"Perhaps getting them some backing is the best choice to change the entire tribe's fate. Although it sounds demoralizing to depend on Royal and become an affiliate organization, this great world is Royal's territory after all. All grade-7 organizations are protected by Royal. It doesn't make much difference for us to become an affiliate organization."
"Moreover, the abundant resources Royal provides could get the Nephilic Judge Tribe out of their current predicament..."
Lin Huang thought about it and replied to Kylie via voice transmission.
"Do you want to make the Nephilic Judge Tribe an organization under you when you receive the convoy status? You guys can decide that yourselves. If you're certain that you want to do that, I'll give you and Bloody full authority regarding management in the future.. I won't intervene."
