My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 155: The Little Brother Became the Big Boss

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: The Little Brother Became the Big Boss

Li Rui didn’t hear the two people calling out because after he helped them out, he directly ran to assist Pence. That old guy was also barely holding on.

Crack, thud.

Another round of punches and kicks, the enemy was dealt with again, and then Li Rui ran to the next location like a firefighter.

Of course, the main battle was still being handled by the formal members of the Blood Blade Alliance, while the peripheral members were just thrown out to temporarily divert firepower.

Li Rui thought he was already being very restrained; he would sneak attack the enemy who was already entangled with others without using any skills. However, he somewhat overestimated the strength of these peripheral members.

Whether in the eyes of Pence, the Snake Eye and Snake Fang brothers, or the surviving other peripheral members, he was a formidable figure like a god descending from the heavens.

This feeling was like during college final exams when you don’t want to stand out and just intend to get by to avoid the teacher’s attention so you can skip class. Even after purposely skipping a major question, you still end up being the top of the grade.

When the fight ended, not many people cared about the companions they bragged and joked with earlier, now lying dead on the ground. In a chaotic place, death was too normal. All of them came to be cannon fodder, and they were aware of it.

Now, they were more curious about that quiet, unassuming person.

"Bro, what’s your level?"

No one dared to call Li Rui mute anymore.

"25."

Li Rui spat out a word and then fell silent again.

Pence and the others exchanged glances, never expecting this wooden young guy to be at their same teenage level.

The Snake brothers were a bit scared.

They had just treated him as a little lackey earlier.

Someone continued asking, "You, you, Rain Summoner?"

Li Rui nodded.

"You, physique, very high, why?"

(Note: The literal translation of Banluo Language should be "body strength," but for consistency, it is translated as physique.)

These people didn’t care whether Li Rui understood them before, but now they deliberately slowed their speech, saying one word at a time, afraid he didn’t catch it.

"I put all my points into physique."

Li Rui could only answer this way. He couldn’t say he had cleared many High-Star Secret Realms, encountered several world NPCs, and never failed, so his attributes and equipment exploded in all directions.

Who would’ve thought after saying this, the others were even more dumbfounded.

What kind of Rain Summoner puts all their points into physique?

But the fact was, putting them like this made him stronger, so they didn’t dare say anything.

Only a few were unconvinced, thinking that this guy might be showing off now, but once advanced, can’t use a single skill, will regret it then.

They didn’t consider that they themselves might never even have the chance to advance.

At this point, a blood-stained bald man came over, glanced at the corpses on the ground, and said, "Go clean it up."

Everyone quickly moved, and the bald man added, pointing at Li Rui, "Come with me."

Under the envious eyes of others, Li Rui followed him into a small room next to them, only formal members were qualified to enter.

The people here were evidently a notch above those peripheral members. There was no need for conversation or observation, just their aura was different.

Some were attending to wounds, others whispered, guessing the attackers’ identity.

Some were even on the phone, reporting to higher-ups, seemingly wanting more manpower.

"Boss."

The bald man spoke to his actual boss, "This kid is level 25, seems competent, might be worth trying out."

Only upon hearing this did Li Rui realize that during recruitment, it was claimed that the peripheral stage was just a probationary period, and if successful, one could convert. In reality, it was just to find a bunch of cheap cannon fodder, not even within the assessment scope.

"Is he trustworthy?"

The boss looked younger than the bald man, very ordinary looking, with a chubby nose and fine stubble, not like a fierce character.

But Li Rui could see that this person was likely not weak in strength either.

The bald man glanced at Li Rui, added, "He was brought in by Donimico, introduced by the Mi Gang leader, Liang, should be trustworthy, his father has always worked for the organization."

"Hmm, then let’s keep him for a try."

"Alright, boss."

The bald one patted Li Rui on the back, "Come with me, you’re in luck."

Li Rui knew it had nothing to do with luck. Liang Qiucheng gave Dominico quite a lot of gold beans, part of which surely ended up in the bald guy’s pocket.

"From now on, you’re my assistant."

The bald guy led the way out, to Li Rui’s surprise, the destination was actually that building where the goods were stored.

"All our goods are here; a battle just happened. Now, the task is to inventory them and ensure not a single one is missing."

Li Rui used his shaky Banluo Language to ask, "If enemies come again, what do we do?"

"Don’t worry, we’ve reported the situation here, assistance will arrive soon," the bald man said, leading him into the building, going up to the second floor, and using a key to open a leading heavy iron door.

Clang clang clang.

The rusty, heavy iron door creaked open, and Li Rui’s pupils involuntarily expanded. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Only now did he realize what the Blood Blade Alliance was protecting.

They were living people.

The prisoners displaying terrified eyes were all very young, predominantly female, few males, attractive, barely clothed.

Honestly speaking.

If not for the superior orders to minimize impact, he would’ve wanted to slaughter this base and free these people right away.

Li Rui remained silent, following the bald man to check the cells one by one.

He carefully observed all the imprisoned "goods," not finding the target he sought.

"However... Liang Qiucheng’s intelligence might not be wrong. If they were going to transfer the target, inserting someone during human trafficking is indeed more inconspicuous."

He pondered while subtly observing, doing so carefully to avoid notice from corridor guards.

"Boss, how long do we have to guard?" Li Rui asked.

The bald man beckoned him to follow out, answering while walking, "Still waiting for the last batch of goods; at most by the day after tomorrow, we’ll leave here."

He added, "Be prepared. By then, you’ll follow along, escort the goods to the destination, and it’ll be over, there will be bonuses then."

After saying this, he regretted it a bit, since peripheral members like Li Rui don’t get bonuses. But on second thought, this guy probably didn’t understand anyway.

Li Rui again said nothing, only thinking inside, the last batch of goods... could the target be there?

If he could find them, it would be best. Once the location was confirmed, fighting would be a minor issue.

He followed the bald man out, receiving permission to move freely inside the main gate.

"Go rest first, no empty room, go back to where you were. When the task is over, I’ll ask the boss if you can be made official."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Rui tried to seem very excited, then returned to the peripheral members’ rest room.

Once he returned, the room that was previously abuzz suddenly fell silent.

The Snake brothers hurried over, grinning, "Hey, Li, we didn’t know, uh, you understand? No disrespect meant."

Li Rui waved his hand, indicating it was fine. He could sense their nervousness, probably fearing he might give them a hard time in the future.

"Meow."

Just then, a sudden meow sounded, and a black cat darted out from the corner, affectionately rubbing against his pant leg.

"Turns out even cats know to cozy up to the strong!"

"Indeed!"

"Li, I’ll help you throw it out."

Finally, they seized a chance to flatter, starting to fawn awkwardly.

But Li Rui remained silent, simply picking up the black cat and exiting through a back door, seeming like he wanted to immerse himself in petting.

They looked at each other, not expecting such a powerful person to succumb to a kitty’s charm.

However, upon entering the door, Li Rui went straight into a restroom, locking the door behind.

He wasn’t thinking perverted thoughts, only because, beneath the cat’s eyes, he saw a faint aura of death.

This was sent by Guan Gui.
