My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 106: Dong Sanchuan’s Unique Strategy Guide
Actually, Pu Tong has never cleared the Eight-Star Secret Realm, but upon learning that Li Rui was going to Liangting’s frontier, he reached out to everyone he knew and gathered a heap of strategies.
Although most of them probably overlap with the information Li Rui already had, the thought was still appreciated.
"Thanks, Brother Pu." He put away the materials and thanked him.
"No big deal, no big deal."
Pu Tong was pleased that the other party accepted so sincerely.
"When I come to use the Awakening Room, is there any procedure I need to follow?"
"No, you are now one of the Cangyun Association, you can just go directly to the support group. Besides, even if you weren’t temporarily transferred and were just passing by, we would still help."
Pu Tong said, "Hey, but you must be careful. I’ve read those strategies too, and the setting is the part of the frontier between Liangting and the Golden Scale Marsh, dealing with a beast tide."
Li Rui said, "Yes, I’ve been paying attention, three days of holding out, not too long."
"Hey! You can’t be careless."
Pu Tong said, "You have to follow the commander’s orders. If luck is a bit bad, in a fiercely battled defense zone, you might not last long enough before dying. But even if the battle is not fierce, don’t get too happy. If the entire defense fails, it still counts as a failure to pass."
He advised from the perspective of someone with experience, "Young people like you are generally more competitive, which is understandable. But I still remind you, if you find it’s not feasible, hide in a safe place. Failing alive is better than dying and failing, right?"
"Right."
Li Rui did not argue.
Pu Tong thought to himself that this young man is truly unusual; facing his somewhat didactic advice, he didn’t show any discontent and seemed to genuinely take it to heart.
"Good, then. If you need anything, just say so."
"Thanks, Brother Pu. I’m off then."
He left the Qing Garden branch, checked his phone, and found a new message from Brother Ba, asking if he was about to enter the Secret Realm.
Li Rui felt a little touched, thinking the other must have calculated the days and asked specifically because it seemed about time.
After he replied, the other side offered a few words of encouragement.
Earlier, when asking for strategies, Wang Ba already knew he was going into the Eight-Star Secret Realm, and at that time, even thought it was a little nerve-wracking, joking that he would probably have nothing to do with Low-Star Secret Realms in this lifetime.
Little did they know, Li Rui preferred high-star ones because the coaching fees are higher.
In the end, Brother Ba routinely advised him a bit, telling him to be cautious and not underestimate the challenge, with staying alive as the first priority.
Li Rui agreed to each point, just as he was about to put away his phone and head home, he received a voice call, and to his surprise, it was from Dong Sanchuan.
...
Song Yao finally wasn’t too busy these past few days. The first batch of personnel signing up for the Secret Realm battlefield had been confirmed, all of whom were Secret Realm agents above level 45, including some senior fighters from provincial branches and some local vice presidents.
These people were almost sure to be selected, so they were sent directly to the department for evaluation as soon as registration began.
As for newcomers like Dong Sanchuan, who are in their thirties, to ensure stability, they all choose to sign up in the last few days before the deadline, trying to gain more levels and achievements during the three-month registration period.
After all, the Secret Realm battlefield is an important experience with many high-rare treasures and provides a lot of experience, entering earlier in a session could even influence one’s entire career.
Secretary Liu knocked and entered the room to report: "President, the department hasn’t officially approved yet, but I’ve privately inquired with a reviewer, who said there should be no issues."
"Hmm, that was expected."
Song Yao said, "Did you tell Dong Sanchuan about Li Rui’s Secret Realm?"
"I did, Assistant Dong said he would help with guidance."
"Good, that’s fine, Li Rui is not weak anyway, and Xiaodong just happens to have successful experience with that Secret Realm, with his guidance, it’s a sure thing."
Secretary Liu wondered aloud, "Didn’t Li Rui already clear the Ten-Star Demon Wind Temple? Eight-Star is no big deal, right?"
"The Demon Wind Temple was because a world NPC helped at that time, didn’t you see the Secret Realm got wrecked?"
Song Yao jokingly showed some disdain, "He had quite the luck, but it can’t be good every time."
Secretary Liu muttered quietly, "Good luck to always get high-difficulty Secret Realms?"
Song Yao held back for three seconds and then started shooing him away, "Go, go, go, you’re the one who talks too much."
.....
"Technically, I should have come to see you in person, as Elder Song instructed, but I’ve already taken an assignment, so I can’t leave at the moment, really sorry."
Dong Sanchuan was very polite on the phone.
On the other end, Li Rui replied repeatedly, "No, no, there’s no need to make a special trip for my minor issues, it would be too much trouble."
Nan Jiumei eavesdropped next to the phone, whispering, "This kid is quite sensible."
Dong Sanchuan gave him a look and continued, "I mainly wanted to talk to you about the Liangting frontier, you should have already seen the strategy, right?"
"I have."
"Good, the report I submitted is included in Chapter 3, Section 2 of the provincial branch strategy, but it’s not detailed on the report, I’ll explain it over the phone."
"Thanks, Brother Chuan."
"Okay, I’ll start. First, I know you took down Li Xiaolin, your skills must be impressive, but Liangting’s frontier is different, its difficulty lies in the number of enemies."
Dong Sanchuan was quite patient, "So, although the place is at the Liangting to Golden Scale Marsh border, they’re actually quite far apart, hence the Barbaric Beasts using some Divine Power to create something like a Teleportation Gate deep within, I don’t know the specifics, but it can continuously send in beast tides."
"The key here is, Liangting Country has set up three lines of defense, when you get in, make sure to get yourself assigned to the Alpha Six section of the first line of defense."
"Then, if the command flag falls, immediately retreat to the Beta Eight section of the second line of defense, finally, fall back to the Gamma Two section of the third line of defense, these three places are relatively the safest. As long as you work with the soldiers to take down Elite Monsters, it’ll be easier to help Liangting’s army gain an advantage, hence making it easier to clear, understand?"
"Understood."
"Good, there’s another issue, when retreating, don’t run too fast, better stick with the commander, or else you might be judged as a deserter by the supervisory team and get killed by the plot."
".....Got it."
Li Rui finally understood why this Secret Realm has such a low clearance rate: retreat, and be killed by the supervisory team; don’t retreat, and be torn apart by the Barbaric Beasts, either way, it’s a death sentence.
Dong Sanchuan gave a few more pointers and then hung up the phone.
Jiang Yu laughed, "You are very patient with junior folks."
Nan Jiumei sourly remarked, "Yeah, so impatient with me."
Dong Sanchuan took a deep breath, "If only you were normal, I’d be equally patient with you."
Zhang Hujun chuckled, "But, do you think Li Rui can clear it?"
Nan Jiumei snorted, "As long as he can, I’ll admit he has the qualification to face me."
Dong Sanchuan said, "If it were me, I’d rather consciously fail than want such a qualification."
"What do you mean, Dong Sanchuan?!!"
