My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 129: See, It’s Not Always My Fault When the Dungeon Breaks
Dong Sanchuan had imagined many scenarios for meeting Li Rui, but never thought this guy would make an entrance like this.
On the way, he casually arrested five illegal Secret Realm agents and even captured a Prophet alive.
For the organization, they wouldn’t care too much about the others; a few thugs and useless Rain Summoners are minor players. But a Prophet is different; people like them would probably be put under house arrest and then be persuaded to defect in turns.
Dong Sanchuan laughed, "You hit it big just as you arrived at the border, your luck is good. Come, let me introduce you."
He introduced everyone to each other.
Zhang Hujun laughed, "You look different from what I imagined. I thought you’d look somewhat like me."
"Look at how handsome he is, unlike your unkempt self."
Dong Sanchuan jokingly scolded, then turned and said, "Since we have the people, let’s head back to the post first."
The four of them got into their respective cars, no one asked Lin Hong a word, seemingly treating her as if she were invisible.
The female Prophet seemed fearful of Zhang Hujun’s fierce gaze, and was wary of Nan Jiumei who looked at her like a venomous snake.
In comparison, Li Rui, who chatted casually with her the whole way, seemed much friendlier.
"Who are those people earlier?"
Lin Hong felt that normal Secret Realm agents would at least be curious about her.
"Hmm... just those supernovas you were indirectly inquiring about earlier." Li Rui drove, following Dong Sanchuan and the others’ vehicle.
Lin Hong blushed; it wasn’t just casual chatting earlier, she indeed tried probing for intelligence. Whether or not she could regain freedom, she had to try.
At that time, Li Rui didn’t show anything, nor did he offer any useful information. She thought the young man hadn’t picked up on her intentions, never expecting he simply chose not to point it out.
As she felt ashamed and angry, she also had an epiphany in her heart.
No wonder the young man driving could handle those three brothers alone; he appeared to be a supernova too.
After sighing about it, she suddenly realized that she was absolutely not going to escape.
She heavily leaned back on her seat and sighed.
The post was a Superpower Division post, not far from the military border post.
The combat personnel stationed here were at least level 20; from a level perspective, Li Rui was among the lowest combat powers here.
Dong Sanchuan personally handed over the prisoners. The level 30-something team leader in charge double-checked several times.
"Are you talking about that Li Rui, alone?"
"You really didn’t interfere?"
"Sanchuan, if you falsify reports, you’ll be facing reprimands."
After checking several times, he finally reluctantly credited the achievement to Li Rui.
"Li Rui, your contribution points have been recorded; you can check them on the intranet."
Dong Sanchuan said, "Within three days, our task is to take turns at the post. Since we’re here, we have to fulfill our duties. After rounds, I’ll check on the mission progress; if possible, I’ll try to take you out for a spin."
Li Rui was personally requested by Song Yao to be taken care of, and he was invited to the border, so undoubtedly his resources were to be used for high-difficulty tasks.
Obviously, no one came here just for fun.
Li Rui nodded, "Understood."
He was assigned to a vacant room on the second floor of the two-story post, very small, with a window facing beyond the border where endless yellow sands buried countless skeletons.
Taking out his phone and checking the intranet, he found that the contribution points for capturing fugitives were a hefty 350 points. Earlier, the level 30 Secret Realm was just 250, and that was with him seizing a rare piece of equipment and three rare materials.
Plus, these individuals weren’t even particularly profitable.
Then he suddenly remembered, Li Xiaolin’s assessment results hadn’t come in yet. Back then, he was naive and didn’t loot anything—if not awarded 500 contribution points, he’d protest! That guy surely had plenty of good stuff.
In the evening, Dong Sanchuan came to him: "Come to my room, let’s have a simple meal; consider it a welcome for you."
The place was too remote, not far from entering the chaotic region, and conditions were harsh. Even they couldn’t get big fish and meat; simple dishes as a gesture were already sincere.
Jiang Yu secretly watched Nan Jiumei with amusement; the latter thought the girl had thoughts about him, but after naming her future child, she heard her say, "Earlier, Jiumei said she wanted to challenge Li Rui, then changed to wait until he advances further, now they’ve met and she doesn’t mention it."
Zhang Hujun laughed heartily, "You aren’t scared, are you?"
Not only did Nan Jiumei’s fantasies shatter, but he felt like a clown and shouted, "Nonsense!"
He was in an awkward position; he’d bragged too much earlier and spoke harshly, only to increasingly realize this newcomer wasn’t simple. If challenged now, it felt like bullying due to advancement; waiting for him to advance... might lose.
Li Rui smoothly helped him out: "Don’t stir things up, you guys want Brother Nan to beat me, don’t you?"
Whoa.
Nan Jiumei praised inwardly, immediately thinking this guy was worth befriending.
Dong Sanchuan smiled and shook his head, "By the way, Li Rui, since you’re here, are you committed to signing up for the Secret Realm battlefield then?"
"Yes."
Li Rui didn’t hide his intentions, stating his request so that when doing tasks, the team could consider how to allocate credit.
Sure enough, the other four weren’t surprised by this, as at this point, he was also level 22, intentionally coming to the border—everyone understood what that meant.
Of course, this is with a guarantee of strength; for a normal leveling progress, level 22 would be too low.
Dong Sanchuan said, "Then before the deadline, probably only two Secret Realms. It’s crucial not to make mistakes."
Nan Jiumei directly changed sides: "Brother Chuan, you worry too much. Our Li Rui reached Liangting Border at level 17 and came out at level 22, can handle the next two realms easily!"
The other three cast disdainful eyes: your switching sides is too sudden!
Li Rui coughed once.
"Let’s eat."
Dong Sanchuan waved his chopsticks, not wanting to dwell on it, "By the way, Li Rui, how are things between you and Huo Yun? I remember you two had some minor conflict earlier."
Li Rui raised an eyebrow: "Oh, nothing much. After coming out of Silent Forest, all’s been good."
"Oh? What? Silent Forest, you’ve been there?"
"Yes, why?"
"Was it part of that batch from a month ago?"
"Yeah."
"Wow, that Secret Realm had issues then, could it be related to you?"
Li Rui immediately reacted: "I’m not, I didn’t, don’t say that. The Secret Realm issues were caused by the world NPC. Not only didn’t I do bad things, I saved people from him, I contributed!"
Since arriving at the border, his words and deeds had been relatively calm, but such agitation attracted suspicion from the other four.
However, at this time, the Secret Realm system alert caught their attention.
[Attention Secret Realm agents, dungeon Xingyang Ancient Tomb experienced an error, removed from selection sequence. Date of restoration pending notice. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.]"
Li Rui was immediately delighted.
"See, at least the issue with this tomb wasn’t my doing, right?"
Yet, before he finished speaking, he noticed the four were silent, exchanging glances.
"What’s wrong with you guys?" Li Rui asked in surprise and doubt.
Nan Jiumei unconsciously shook his head: "I remember the one who entered Xingyang Ancient Tomb... was him, that man!"
"Who?"
"Recognized as the top supernova, who made a name as a monster after just a month at the chaotic land, Guan Gui."
