My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 97: Bro, I Need a Favor

He Chengli was very annoyed.

Why, why does that Huo guy get to be in the same Secret Realm as Brother Rui? It’s infuriating!

Li Rui and Huo Yun, being straightforward guys, weren’t sensitive enough to notice Chengli’s envy and jealousy beside them. They were both excitedly discussing matters related to the Secret Realm at the Liangting border.

"This Secret Realm seems huge, just listening to it."

"Don’t rush, let me first check the strategy. It’s an eight-star Secret Realm, not appearing often, so I don’t know how much information I can find."

Huo Yun was complacent; being aligned with Li Rui in the same Secret Realm meant they were secure.

"I heard that large Secret Realms generally have abundant resources." He said.

"Really?" Li Rui perked up, "I love that kind of thing."

The joys and sorrows of humans do not directly connect.

He Chengli sat at the other end of the sofa, hugging his knees, feeling lonely, solitary, and cold.

By this time, Li Rui had searched the intranet, gathering a bunch of information. They could study it but it would take quite a lot of time because there was a lot of repetitive and non-essential content.

He could only say: "It’s too late today. Let’s look at it carefully tomorrow, then we can each ask around to see if we can find more information."

"Got it." Huo Yun was ready to request help from home.

Li Rui turned his head: "Come over here. It’s time to look at your Sunset City."

He Chengli’s neck immediately stiffened.

Eh?! I get a share too?!

"Brother Rui! You’re really too good to me!"

Li Rui had no idea about his inner journey, only feeling bewildered: Just checking a strategy, is it necessary?

A six-star Secret Realm is nothing more than the difficulty of Gu Xuan Town—difficult but not formidable for He Chengli now.

After spending an hour discussing how to tackle tasks within the Secret Realm, Li Rui said: "You should also have seven Blood Marrow Crystal Cores on hand?"

"I have them." He Chengli replied.

"Good, I already asked; the blood fog bomb made with that stuff is incredibly powerful. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the Cangyun Association to make them for use in case of emergencies."

With a thorough explanation, He Chengli understood. This was a consumable item, although called a bomb, it doesn’t cause explosions but releases Bone-Eroding Blood Fog, spreading over a large area and persisting for a long time; even Extraordinary individuals above level twenty or thirty can’t linger long, and those around level ten might instantly dissolve into water inside.

The only drawback is it takes effect rather slowly. If suddenly thrown during battle, it’s easily evaded by opponents. The correct usage is to create a forbidden zone depending on circumstances to either block enemies or protect oneself.

The three discussed until midnight before going to sleep, heading to the Cangyun Association Qing Garden Branch early the next morning.

By this time, Leader Pu’s team members had different attitudes upon seeing Li Rui; they secretly scrutinized and criticized him earlier, now at least they greeted with smiling faces and nodded in acknowledgment.

The more sociable ones even directly approached to make small talk, completely forgetting they initially thought poorly of Bai Li Association attendees.

The most consistent was Leader Pu. Despite noticing the young man’s strength far exceeded his expectations, he remained courteous as he did from the beginning, not overly flattering.

"You want to check the recipe? I’ll inquire at the support team for you."

Blood fog bombs aren’t made using just Blood Marrow Crystal Cores but require other materials, which is the support team’s expertise. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Upon reaching this place, don’t expect someone like Wen Yan as team leader to coordinate. Nevertheless, after inquiries, it turned out the other materials for making blood fog bombs were simple and inexpensive, items dropped from Thick Earth Spirits casually traded for great quality ones in the database.

After all, that item’s core part is the Blood Marrow Crystal Core, rare in quality but incredibly hard to obtain under normal circumstances since Blood Evil Sect items are inherently scarce.

Crafting items is also done in equipment-enhancing devices, and crafted items cannot be removed from the inventory because they are non-perpetual tools, usable only within the Secret Realm.

Leader Pu envied, saying: "You guys are really amazing, managing to get such a thing. With one or two Blood Fog Bombs at hand, clearing the Secret Realm would be greatly facilitated."

The support team member echoed: "Wow, I rarely see Blood Evil Sect items. It’s started, who’s up first."

Li Rui stepped up, opened the crafting list, and dragged out seven Blood Marrow Crystal Cores.

The two people were stunned.

Leader Pu couldn’t help but peer closer, staring at it for so long until the icon’s lower-right corner 7 seemed unlike a 7, finally realizing he hadn’t seen wrong.

Such rare items and he actually had seven?!

However, when Li Rui finished the make and it went to He Chengli’s turn, he was even more astonished.

Everyone has seven each?

Through some twists, Li Rui and He Chengli had seven bombs altogether, and Huo Yun had two.

"Leader Pu, thank you."

"No problem, no problem."

Leader Pu said, "With your help in resolving some tasks, it’s beneficial for our Cangyun Association."

Following the defeat of Li Xiaolin, his viewpoint had changed a bit. Originally thinking three teens couldn’t accomplish much, now it seemed they truly were a noteworthy support.

Li Rui politely exchanged a few words with him, roughly indicating members of the Cangyun Association were capable and strong, flattering steadily.

Their conversation was enjoyable, Leader Pu casually asked: "By the way, haven’t you received the next Secret Realm? It’s been several days now."

Li Rui was about to respond when suddenly interrupted by a ringing phone.

"Hey, Brother Kong, what’s up? Lunch? Sure, come to Qing Garden Branch’s cafeteria, I’m right here, alright."

Li Rui looked at Leader Pu: "Join us? After working so hard, it’s time to eat."

"Alright."

Leader Pu casually agreed, though his mind was pondering who Brother Kong was, given the Kong surname held significant importance in the Cangyun Association.

The four went to the cafeteria, chose a corner to sit, and soon a round figure appeared at the door, rolling down to the table side.

Seeing this individual, Leader Pu’s breath became slightly heavier.

So Brother Kong is Kong Ji?

Although he knew a few young people were extraordinary, he didn’t expect it to attract the renowned Boss Kong in the Northwest personally to this place.

What surprised him even more, the chubby person dragging a chair to sit down, and his first words were: "Younger Brother Li, I need your help with something."

Help?!

Leader Pu suspected he misheard.
