My Misfortune Crushed Instances

"Apart from this thing, check if there’s a Polarity Transformation Refining Talisman."

Li Rui said to the person in charge of registering materials.

The person looked at the list carefully for a long time and then said, "There are seven sheets left. Each one requires 200 units of contribution. How many do you need?"

"All of them."

Li Rui said directly.

The person’s mouth twitched, but he still ticked them off; there’s no helping it, Li Rui has plenty of contributions and can afford it.

Li Rui didn’t rush; he continued to browse the cellar.

"I want all the epic materials, some tools, hmm... This talisman, Spirit Liquid Gourd? Good stuff, I want this and that..."

Li Rui picked and chose for a while, taking away almost one-third of the items above epic level, just as his contribution points ran out.

"Thank you, I’ll be leaving now."

Li Rui smiled at the person in charge and then left the cellar.

Watching him walk away, the person felt a pang of envy, wondering when he could spend contributions so lavishly.

At that moment, another person rushed over and handed a slip.

"Latest contribution register."

The registrar took the slip and glanced at it, suddenly feeling dizzy.

The command center added a large amount of contribution to 0109 just after he left, meaning he could still take a piece of legendary equipment if another one came up.

Meanwhile, Li Rui had returned to his temporary accommodation because personnel shifts were frequent in the Secret Realm; these residences were public, like hotels.

He sat on the bed leaning against the wall, ready to begin the important task of refining the newly obtained legendary-level equipment.

[Cyan Thunder Simurgh Bracelet]

[Item Level: 49.]

[Quality: Legendary.]

[Attributes: Defense +58, Block +20 (Not usable), Combat +20 (Not usable).]

[Effect 1: Thunder Attribute Damage Increased by 30%.]

[Effect 2: Physical Defense Increased by 20%.]

[Effect 3: Resistance to Sword and Blade Skill Damage Increased by 20%.]

[Active Skill — Wind Control: Gain Wind Riding Power for 10 seconds, allowing brief levitation, Cooldown 300 seconds.]

[Eternal: Yes.]

Among these entries, two attributes belong to other professions, entirely useless, and effect 3 is rather ordinary; Li Rui plans to wash them all away.

Normally, changing equipment entries is quite extravagant, and no one pursues the perfect entries on every piece of equipment, but he has plenty of Polarity Transformation Refining Talismans, so he can afford to wash them.

Worried about bad luck and never washing out the right attributes, he called Yuan Erliang for help, but still ended up using three talismans before washing out perfect attributes, adding Spirit and Power.

The third entry, resistance to sword and blade skill damage, is usable but quite limited; unless there’s special demand, it wouldn’t be chosen.

If you want to wash into a new random entry, there’s a risk; currently, it’s just not very useful, but if washed out and randomly turns into a completely useless entry, then it’s a loss.

Li Rui still had four refining talismans, each capable of washing three times. He thought for a moment and felt there was a chance.

So he let Yuan Erliang operate again, and as expected, bad luck struck, a lot of useless effects appeared, until he used the last talisman once did he finally see a better entry.

[Effect 3: Ignores 10% Thunder Attribute Resistance.]

This ability becomes more valuable at higher levels; after all, resistance starts low, and the enemies encountered generally don’t have much additional resistance.

But after level 50, the enemies met are all King Level, and human extraordinaries also gradually start possessing legendary-level equipment, so it’s important to both improve your own attributes and find ways to lower the opponent’s.

From the appearance of this entry, the Cyan Thunder Simurgh Bracelet became a perfect legendary-level equipment, which only someone as wealthy as Li Rui could forcibly wash out; if it were someone else, they’d likely be content with removing the unusable attributes.

Polarity Transformation Refining Talismans are not easily produced in ordinary Secret Realms, even if obtained on the battlefield, most are kept for future use.

Li Rui placed the equipment on his hand, looked at Yuan Erliang, and in gratitude for his translation contributions, went out for another round, "extorting" some treasures suitable for the Demon Race’s cultivation from the newly transported goods and gave them to him.

The originally unable-to-cultivate little Monkey Demon held the bag of treasures like a greedy good-for-nothing monkey, jumping joyfully, and finally went to seek cultivation advice from Ju Ye.

Li Rui finally completed his tasks and returned to his room to sleep.

Two days later, the appointed time arrived, and he first went to find Cheng Mingyue, this woman seemed to have fully recovered, even back to that half-awake state.

"Ready to go?"

"Let’s go."

She already knew what Li Rui needed to do, without requiring any special communication.

Li Rui first reported at the command center as required, and then took the two monkeys north again.

The good news was, under his forceful feed with an abundance of natural treasures, Yuan Erliang’s body finally showed a trace of demonic power, at least completed a transformation from 0 to 1, this probably is the grand version of might creating miracles.

The two humans and two monkeys headed north, just like their previous trip to Ghost City, except this time to a more dangerous place.

However, Li Rui was much stronger than before, now he had several more skills in his hands.

Currently, the whole East Wangze State and North Cold Wind State are under Dragon Country’s control, so the northern journey is quite smooth, only taking two days to reach the southern border of Nuanyang State.

Weather being nice turns into bad news here.

Looking ahead, a vast desert stretches out, only yellow sand fills vision, no end in sight.

Cheng Mingyue said, "We need to look around here to see if there are local Demon Race members; without a guide, it might be hard to enter."

Even Ju Ye found the danger of Nuanyang State tricky, regular humans and Demon Race members indeed find it hard to enter.

Li Rui nodded, activating the Wind Riding Skill on the Cyan Thunder Simurgh, a gentle breeze lifted him upward, with nothing visible beneath his feet, yet it felt soft and solid.

He rode the momentum skyward, quickly reaching midair, then surveyed around, spotting a faraway Demon Race village, and landed before the effect ended.

This Wind Riding Skill isn’t limited to flying upwards; it can be paired with gold weapons and iron horses for an airborne charge during battles.

"Looks like you’ve gained something new?" Cheng Mingyue saw this ability for the first time, "You couldn’t fly before."

Li Rui did not hide it, directly telling her it was a skill included in the new legendary equipment.

Cheng Mingyue felt a twinge of envy, she had not yet acquired any legendary-level items since entering the Secret Realm battlefield, but with further development, she should have a chance.

The group followed Li Rui’s direction to the wild lands not far away, from afar saw a Demon Race settlement, the environment there not as desolate as Nuanyang State’s depths, but not conducive to survival either, looking dilapidated from the outside.

Li Rui signaled Ju Ye to stop, avoiding hostility, while he and Yuan Erliang approached, squatting beside a small demon at the village entrance, smiling: "Hello, could you tell us where this place is?"

The little demon looked immature, staring at Li Rui before suddenly wailing and running into the village crying.

"... What is he shouting?"

Li Rui asked Yuan Erliang beside him.

The latter replied earnestly: "He’s saying there’s something bad coming."
