My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 198: Going Home

Li Rui glanced again at the nameplate on the table, Cheng Wen.

Perhaps a few years ago, this man was also among the young people of this supernova level.

He's not very familiar with the situation of the Chi Jia Association in the Southwest region, doesn't know if there's a Cheng family, but even if there isn't, just these two uncles and nephews are enough to become the cornerstone of a small family.

If there is ambition, first marry and have children with other excellent Secret Realm agents, and among the descendants have a few more Secret Realm agents, support them, and continue intermarriage.

In this way, the first generation's main family and branch families are basically established. If all goes smoothly and the bloodline continues, once the descendants of the Cheng family and those branch families' "outsider" progeny obtain the engravings, they can immediately receive family support, then snowball, and the power grows bigger and bigger.

But whether to do so depends on personal choice.

Not every powerful character in history only dreams of things that last for centuries; lacking ambition means not every step is considered from the perspective of interest.

Li Rui dispelled chaotic thoughts because the meeting had already started, a young woman who looked like a secretary stood at the front of the stage, holding a laser pointer.

Cheng Wen began to speak: "Good morning everyone. It's our first meeting. I am Cheng Wen, the commander of this Secret Realm battleground. First, congratulations to everyone seated here....."

He first spoke a not-too-lengthy pleasantry, and then quickly got to the main topic.

"Many people here are busy with matters, so I won't be verbose. The main content of today's meeting is to introduce the statuses of the other forces participating in this Secret Realm battleground."

"Thanks to the Intelligence Division and the Strategic Analysis Division for collecting and organizing data, and a reminder to those attending this Secret Realm battleground for the first time, once we enter this special Secret Realm, we will encounter innate obstacles, but ultimately, it is a confrontation against extraordinary individuals from other forces. So the first thing we need to do is understand the enemy."

Li Rui saw that the intelligence projected on the screen was mainly targeting the Western Kingdom and Polar Alliance.

These two forces are on par with Dragon Country in strength, possessing numerous Secret Realm agents and high-level experts.

According to the intelligence obtained, both sides set a minimum registration limit of level 30 advancement, same as Dragon Country.

These targets were subjectively categorized into four tiers by the Analysis Division: Routine, Alert, Dangerous, and Highly Dangerous.

Routine level represents most mainstream players, the upper limit is ordinary players above level 40, but it also includes new players under level 40 whom major forces wish to cultivate. The quality of personnel at this level is varied.

The Alert level is already small experts; if it's a standard profession at level 40, it has at least an Epic Level skill or several Epic Level equipment.

Dangerous level is understood easily, supernova standard or slightly below one notch, but the gap isn't huge.

The Highly Dangerous targets are rare, basically consisting of top-level strength like Cheng Wen and Kong Ji.

Of course, these are only confirmed individuals by intelligence personnel during task execution, the list isn't complete nor includes hidden trump cards by various countries, such as those not fully exposed to the public like Li Rui; they can only be listed as Foggy Evil Ghost pending characters, unclear in specifics.

For more comprehensive intelligence, entry into the Secret Realm battleground is required.

Just discussing enemy intelligence took close to an entire day, followed by another two days of meetings, introducing Secret Realm battleground mechanism and 'PVP' notes.

For Li Rui, mechanism needs to be listened to, but combat principles are not unfamiliar; the arena he has been to, chaotic places he has visited, however, people like Duan Ling and Yu Xin have fewer chances of interacting with extraordinary individuals from other forces, at best they've only dealt with illegal agents.

Three days passed by quickly, the meetings ended, followed by training camp.

Li Rui didn't need to attend training camp, so he prepared to return to Huangliang City; he hadn't been home for over two months.

Before leaving, Kong Ji talked to him again for quite a while, meaning he should work hard to improve himself; the level difference in ordinary Secret Realms is up to 4, but in battlegrounds, it can be as high as 19.

Li Rui certainly agreed, but the level is merely a reference, equipment, skills, and attributes are the key to determining combat strength; otherwise, there's no need to fight, just announce level upon meeting, and the lower one concedes.

In contrast, he has a more important target to complete, which is to obtain Community Thunder.

Undoubtedly, since Divine Thunder is Legendary Level, Community Thunder must be as well; if obtained, along with Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture and battle scars, he has a total of three Legendary Level abilities, plus Invading Fire is an Epic Level talent, if the remaining talent quality upgrade ticket is used, it can also be raised to Legendary.

Four Legendaries, just with these alone, even if he's not level 40, he's at least in the Dangerous tier, perhaps close to Highly Dangerous.

"See you next time then."

Li Rui waved goodbye to the several people who came to see him off, then got on the plane returning to Huangliang.

.....

"I wonder if Li Rui has registered for the battleground."

Wang Ba sat in his stylish sports car, with Wu Sun in the passenger seat, the two waiting at the airport.

"Hard to say, Captain."

Wu Sun was also a bit anxious, "Although logic tells me, someone who just advanced can't possibly pass, but… you know."

"Stop guessing, just ask directly."

Wang Ba honked the horn because he saw the familiar young figure appear in the distance.

Li Rui was also very happy to see the two, pattered over.

"Brother Ba! Brother Wu!"

Li Rui greeted the two before even getting in the car, "I'm back."

"Kid, you've tanned." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Northwest sun is strong."

"So, how was it over there? Did you encounter any trouble?"

"No, everyone was nice." Li Rui replied.

"See, I said, perhaps the folks there are a bit braver, but they're all straightforward."

Wang Ba said while starting the car, "You didn't cross the border, did you?"

"Uh, what's the matter?"

"It's dangerous, the chaotic land over there is very chaotic, heard street shootings are common."

"Yeah."

"You reckless thing, you really went there, not afraid of dying!"

Brother Ba said discontentedly, "What if something happened? I should've gone with you; Cangyun Association really is unreliable, not keeping an eye."

He nagged like an old mother for quite a while then asked: "So, did you pass the Secret Realm battleground?"

"Passed."

"Actually passed!"

Wu Sun abruptly turned his head from the front seat, "Awesome, awesome!"

His starting point is average, talent mediocre, but his personality is quite content, doesn't envy or feel jealous, genuinely happy for Li Rui's achievement.

Wang Ba also smiled broadly, nodding repeatedly.

"Didn't expect, our team could produce someone who participates in the battleground."

At this moment, Wu Sun suddenly changed expression: "Wait, Brother Ba, Xiaorui has advanced, can you still be his captain?"

Wang Ba furrowed his brow sharply: "Oh no! Will I be replaced?"
