My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 246: Late-Night Interview

Song Yao had a voice recorder by his side; important audio recordings needed to be archived as vital reference material, and naturally, also served as the basis for evaluating Xiaoli's achievements.

"So, Zuo Qiutian is connected with Fengdu, and is attempting to gain some ancient powers with the goal of destroying the so-called Heavenly Dao?"

"That's what I saw and heard," Xiaoli replied.

"Alright, noted."

Song Yao asked again, "Before Shenxiao's Four Disciples arrived, a swordsman and a spear wielder appeared first, and their identities were unknown, correct?"

"Correct, Daoist Chongxu didn't recognize them either."

"Who were the ones that appeared afterward?"

"Gu Suixun from Mola Sect, Xue Can from Baiquan Sect, and Luo Jiu, the master of Sunset Ram Immortal Peak."

After Xiaoli replied, it was evident that Song Yao's expression had grown noticeably more serious.

"Elder Song, who are these people?"

Humans from the real world entering the Secret Realm World can only do so through the secret realm method. Even if normal realms before and after are as connected as possible, ultimately, they are just fragments, like watching a movie where only certain scenes are visible.

So, for most people, to understand the complete worldview, characters, and the historical grievances between them, a lot must be experienced, and a high level is required.

Most people trying to understand comprehensively must rely on the organization.

Only by gathering the scattered information everyone has obtained and linking it into coherent causes and effects can one grasp the complete worldview as much as possible.

In the Superpower Division, there's a department specifically for this task.

Song Yao, having made significant achievements on the secret realm battlefield, and being one of the peak forces in Dragon Country's Extraordinary World, is surely not simple; he knows at least more than most people.

Yet upon hearing Xiaoli's question, he could only say, "They are leaders of first-rate forces. No hurry, I'll take you to the Superpower Division later, there should be someone to give a more comprehensive explanation."

He chuckled and explained specifically, "Because I'm not specialized in intelligence analysis, even what I say is only subjective impressions, not as detailed as others would say, so keep your curiosity in check."

Xiaoli shrugged, "So when do we leave?"

"I have some matters to handle, tonight; you've just come from the secret realm, go grab a meal and organize your harvest first."

"Alright."

...

Xiaoli didn't know whom he was going to meet at the Superpower Division, but what was certain was that for someone of his local status needing to rush to the capital overnight for a report, it had to be something big.

Moreover, the person he would meet must be of high rank, evident from Song Yao accompanying the meeting.

He sat in the cafeteria, eating while organizing.

Earlier, during the acquisition of Community Thunder, the hidden task granted three Epic Level items, one of which, the Bright King's Talisman, was used up, leaving the other two: a set of Barrier Breaking Needles, capable of penetrating any array below level 50.

And another critical item, the Great Void Wind-Thunder Talisman, upon usage, would boost the next skill damage by 100%. It could be kept as a trump card, to be utilized with the Blood Soul Ring and heavily scarred opponents for a major strike at the critical moment.

This is what an Epic Level item is; in a singular domain, it can exert great effects, whereas compared to rare items like just a Strength Pill, which only offers a minor boost.

Additionally, the Ten Star Secret Realm offered two skill points, one point was directly allocated to the Great Fire Bell Spell, upgrading it to lv4, considering the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell is tied to the Bell Curse level.

The remaining point is still kept according to habit, as it can be added anytime, and in case the next secret realm provides other skills needing enhancement, it can be used.

Currently, the major skills: Big Ratio, Heart Sutra, and Bell Curse are all lv4.

Overall, this secret realm didn't provide many skills or attribute points, and considering the Burning state, it was challenging, ranking among the least cost-effective of the numerous Ten Star Secret Realms.

But for Xiaoli, having acquired Legendary Level equipment Community Thunder, and gained a healing skill, it was evidently worthwhile.

He mused, hoping another secret realm would open before the secret realm battlefield, to garner more skill points, elevating these skills to lv5, increasing the odds during battles against other extraordinary forces.

Within the same rarity, higher skill levels definitely equate to greater prowess, which is evident.

After finishing his meal and dawdling a while, Song Yao called him over again, heading to the airport together, to rush to the Superpower Division overnight.

Xiaoli realized they were heading not to the place where the battlefield key was previously obtained but to another standalone compound.

This place didn't even have guards at the gate, but upon entering, several invisible pressures swept over and then vanished instantly.

Only Xiaoli felt something, whereas others in their thirties or forties would probably remain oblivious.

"This is the core area of the Superpower Division."

Song Yao said, "Normal folk can't enter, including Dong Sanchuan, if he wants to come, he'd need my approval."

Xiaoli said, "You're respected."

Song Yao chuckled, leading the way into the building.

Despite it being nighttime, the place was brightly lit, with people on duty and working overtime.

Song Yao, familiar with the place, took the elevator to the third floor, arriving at an individual room with a large tea table, sofas at the sides, and some armchairs in the corner, looking more like a reception than a conference room.

More importantly, this time Xiaoli no longer needed to wait here, the room already had three occupants, one recognized as Cheng Wen, sitting closest to the door, and the other two elders, evidently of higher rank, sitting nearer the center.

Song Yao was situated to the right of the main seat, while Xiaoli was motioned over by Cheng Wen to sit nearby.

This session's secret realm battlefield commander didn't know him, but since he walked in with Song Yao, there probably weren't others; after all, everyone in the room was waiting for him.

"Old Song, in my opinion, you didn't need to personally come over."

The person in the principal seat seemed about the same age as Song Yao, with an aura of natural authority, even though he greeted with a smile, it evoked a sense of intimidation.

"Oh, this is Xiaoli, young and promising."

Cheng Wen introduced, confirming Xiaoli's identity, then turned and said, "This is Director Xu from the intelligence analysis section."

Xu Yuanxing.

Xiaoli knew the name, an Extraordinary above level 70, though his specific abilities were unknown.

This person was surely high-ranking and powerful, as he was not only a department head within the Superpower Division but also one of the division's deputy ministers.

Thus, logically, the round-faced middle-aged man next to him was likely the second-in-command of the intelligence analysis section.

Xiaoli leaned back tactically.

Essentially, there were four people in the room: two leaders of the Superpower Division's intelligence analysis section, a provincial association president, and a secret realm battlefield commander, all waiting late at night for him.

It felt quite embarrassing, yet if he didn't elaborate for hours, it seemed disrespectful to them.
