My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 115: I Have a Plan

In the normal storyline, Wei Xun and other elite warriors from the Demon Suppression Bureau wouldn’t appear on this battlefield, nor would one of the eight great generals, Pang Manjun.

But this time is different. Li Rui has encountered a situation that normal people wouldn’t face.

He suspects that this change is because Wei Xun appeared first. When such elite warriors arrive, if there’s no corresponding role on the beast side, the battle would be one-sided. Therefore, the Secret Realm system sent Pang Manjun here as a correction.

And why did Wei Xun appear? Because he was tracking Zuo Qiutian and happened to be not far from here. Upon hearing the urgent military news, he hurriedly came with reinforcements.

So, in the end, it’s all damn Zuo Qiutian’s fault.

However, now is not the time to look for a scapegoat. Although Pang Manjun has Wei Xun and others to handle him, the high-level barbaric beasts that are NPC-level don’t come alone; he has a bunch of lackeys with him.

The manpower here was already insufficient. Normally, they would retreat to the third line of defense to hold out until reinforcements arrived. Now that the enemy numbers have increased, the gap is even larger.

The beast horde has begun to advance steadily, and it won’t be long before the front lines collide.

At this time, the Secret Realm gave a new hint.

[Main Mission Update: Remove phase restriction and breakout enemy number limit. Objective change — Prevent barbaric beasts from occupying Liangting Pass.]

It seems the system’s assessment of the battle situation is not optimistic.

[World Event Triggered: Pang Manjun Attacks.]

[Mission Objective: Assist Liangting Army in repelling the beast horde. Contribution: 0%.]

[Mission Reward: Settled according to contribution.]

Huo Yun immediately said, "Contribution? We need to find a way to kill as many enemies as possible."

Li Rui was a bit skeptical: "With the world NPCs involved in the battle, even if we kill hundreds or thousands of barbaric beasts, our percentage won’t be that high, right?"

...

In the frontline segment, Hong Lu and others received the same mission.

The sycophant screamed, "World mission! That means that thing on the other side is indeed a world NPC."

Hong Lu said, "We can’t get close to that kind of monster. Even the aftermath of Wei Xun’s battle with it could kill us instantly."

The straightforward one added again, "Maybe those three in segment six have a way to intervene."

"Are you done?" Hong Lu really couldn’t hold back anymore.

However, the straightforward one was simply puzzled, "What did I do?"

.....

Kong Ji always had his secretary keep an eye on the situation in the Secret Realm. Even when entertaining guests, he would find a moment to inquire.

Taking advantage of a bathroom break, he seized the opportunity to ask again.

"Currently increased to five Black Stars."

Upon receiving the response, Kong Ji nodded, "Looks like a commanding-level barbaric beast has appeared. But with Li Rui there, it’s not a big issue."

The secretary was still worried because he didn’t know Li Rui, but Kong Ji had seen him fight Li Xiaolin firsthand.

A Rain Summoner who can use perpetual and mysterious Thunder Magic shouldn’t have trouble dealing with commanding-level barbaric beasts.

Back in the room, he continued entertaining the guests. Although they were discussing business, the specific terms were managed by dedicated personnel; they mainly focused on confirming some critical, hard-to-reach consensus terms, mainly those directly related to profit.

Because it was a long-term cooperation involving significant amounts of money, Kong Ji was also very attentive. So, when he saw his secretary frantically gesturing from the doorway, he didn’t hurry to leave. He waited until another term was finalized before using a break as an excuse to step outside.

"What’s going on? I just sat down and you’re signaling like that, it was really hard to get away." Kong Ji asked as he lit a cigarette.

The secretary looked worried and said, "Black Star, eight now."

With one sentence, Kong Ji, who was lighting a cigarette, froze: "Eight? Just in this short time?"

"Not just this short time. When I was signaling, it was already eight."

Kong Ji squinted his eyes, "Do you know what you’re saying? I barely warmed my seat, and you were signalling, suggesting it jumped from five to eight in a flash?"

"Yes." The secretary nodded expressionlessly.

Kong Ji sighed deeply, "Awake yet?"

"Not yet."

"What?!"

In his understanding, sudden eight Black Stars must mean something major happened, and the Liangting army’s defense wouldn’t hold much longer, soon to be breached, meaning they’ve failed to clear.

But the secretary said they hadn’t come out, implying the worst-case scenario, not only didn’t they come out, but their soul was also damaged.

However, the secretary said, "They haven’t failed to clear, I’ve been keeping an eye."

"What?!"

Kong Ji’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his chubby figure making it particularly comical, "After so long, they’re still not dead?"

The secretary looked at him strangely, "Isn’t this a good thing?"

"Ahem, it’s a good thing. I, I just found it strange."

Kong Ji randomly scratched his chin and then suddenly laughed, "Looks like this proxy was really worth it."

The secretary asked curiously, "Are you so sure it’s not Young Master Hua’s ability? His analytical skills can also assist in battle formations."

Kong Ji waved his hand, "Don’t I know the caliber of your Young Master Hua?"

The secretary was speechless but just asked, "Eight Black Stars, do you really think they can hold out?"

Kong Ji paused for a moment and suddenly had a look of realization, making a phone call.

"Hello, Sanchuan, it’s your Brother Kong."

"What’s up, Brother Kong?"

"I wanted to ask, how many Black Stars did you get when you cleared the Liangting border?"

"Seven."

Dong Sanchuan replied quickly, "Defensive-type Secret Realms are relatively stable, not easy to trigger Black Stars. I wasn’t too lucky back then. Don’t worry, Brother Kong. I estimate Xiaohua will trigger at most six Black Stars, there’s a chance."

Kong Ji gave a dry laugh, "To be honest, it’s already eight."

"..."

Dong Sanchuan was silenced by his words, "Uh, Brother Kong, it’s okay, one failure doesn’t matter, no one can guarantee a 100% clearance rate."

In the Secret Realm, the battle had already begun, and magical scenes appeared on this battlefield.

In the center, Pang Manjun and various elite warriors from the Demon Suppression Bureau were already entangled in a fight, with nothing living nearby. All the barbaric beasts and soldiers consciously avoided that area.

After all, anything that didn’t leave had already vanished into thin air.

Literally evaporated.

Li Rui was on the outskirts of the battlefield, carrying a diamond umbrella, button-mashing a continuous output toward countless barbaric beasts, while the other two also played significant roles.

Despite the onslaught of more barbaric beasts, segment six miraculously didn’t let a single one slip through and even had spare strength to assist.

During a pause in his output, Li Rui noticed the commander and Prince Zhen Dong both personally at the front lines, his goodwill toward them increasing substantially. At such a time, not running away was already commendable.

"Esteemed heroes, segment six is temporarily unscathed, could I ask for your assistance with other defense segments?"

Seeing the trio’s bravery, the commander naturally wanted to maximize their effectiveness.

Li Rui glanced at the vast battlefield filled with various barbaric beasts, looked at the perilous defense lines, and the mission log that barely jumped to 1.66% contribution.

He shook his head, saying to the commander, "General, the situation is critical. Our army is brave, but at a numerical disadvantage. Carrying on like this, even if we go everywhere for support, defeat is inevitable."

The commander knew that but had no choice; he had to do his best.

However, Prince Zhen Dong stepped forward and asked, "Young hero Li, do you have something to say?"

Li Rui smiled slightly, "I have a plan to break today’s siege."

He wanted to stroke his beard, but realized he didn’t have one.
