My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 45: Untitled Assignment

Guotong Mansion, the awakening room of the support group, once again Xiaoli lay on the familiar chair.

Wang Ba had specifically received instructions from Wu Mengying to inform her as soon as there was a result.

Xiaoli was, of course, also very eager.

"There’s no combat in this Secret Realm, right?" he asked.

Wang Ba replied, "No, it’s just a transfer ceremony. Think about it, was there any combat during newbie registration?"

"Yes."

"... Battling with administrators doesn’t count," Wang Ba said, holding his forehead with a look of exasperation.

Xiaoli glanced at the time; two minutes remained.

"Then I’ll get ready to go in."

The team was at ease, not paying much attention since the transfer ceremony only involved the Secret Realm agent without the participation of other NPCs and administrators, so there was indeed little chance of causing trouble.

A few minutes later, Xiaoli opened his eyes from dizziness and was startled.

He was standing amidst a raging storm, surrounded by towering waves, like walls a hundred feet high surrounding the solitary island he stood on.

Boom——

A flash of lightning illuminated the surroundings as bright as day, revealing a massive door dozens of meters high in front of him.

The great hall, the altar.

They had mentioned in advance what he would see here but hadn’t mentioned the weather being this bad.

Xiaoli stepped forward, walking toward the darkness inside the door, and as he crossed the threshold, the eternal lamps on both sides lit up one by one, revealing the true form of a hall as vast as a football field.

In the center, a square altar stood over ten meters high, with ancient stone steps guiding the way forward.

Xiaoli ascended the steps, standing on an altar measuring five or six meters on each side, seeing the ground marked with countless inexplicable symbols converging in a circular fashion towards the center.

Following instructions, he walked forward, sat cross-legged in the center of the symbols, and immediately sensed something, as the flames of the eternal lamps on the hall walls suddenly blazed up.

At the same time, a terrifying aura spread into the hall from outside, feeling as if an invisible giant dragon had barged in from outside the door.

Xiaoli felt an unparalleled sense of danger, as if a cosmic eye larger than the world itself was watching him. For the first time since birth, he felt an irresistible aura.

Even when a truck rumbled towards him, he never had that feeling.

Fortunately, the sensation passed quickly.

Xiaoli’s eyes plunged into darkness as if suddenly blind, with only a line of prompts flickering before him.

[Choosing a profession... Please wait...]

Then it began to spin.

At the unseen edge of the altar, streams of data flew in like Dementors from outside the giant door, continuously entering his body.

[Profession choice successful, you have transferred to Rain Summoner.]

[Skill acquired: Mist Flow Control lv1.]

[Rarity: Profession.]

[Effect: Gathers and manipulates water elements in the air to form a small amount of mist, affected by Spirit attribute bonus, and environmental influence.]

[Eternal: Yes.]

[Acquired: Rare professional talent—Water Moistening Mist.]

[Effect: Your mist is very watery.]

[Eternal: Yes.]

Xiaoli felt something was off.

"Wasn’t it said that based on my habits, I would likely get a strong attack profession? Rain Summoner is a support role."

He was wondering if his unlucky constitution had struck again, resulting in an incompatible profession, but suddenly the thought crossed his mind about the description of five thunders in the database.

Those with five thunders could ascend to the Thunder Division, attaining celestial rank.

Summoning wind and bringing rain, descending celestial thunder.

Xiaoli felt like the Secret Realm system had merged his affinity in another direction.

Nevertheless, Wang Ba and the others were not wrong; the transfer ceremony was indeed successful.

Just as he was about to leave the hall and exit the Secret Realm, an unexpected change occurred.

An ominous feeling suddenly hit him, but it was far less intense than during the transfer, as a low beastly roar echoed from outside the door, followed by many scurrying footsteps.

Simultaneously.

[Triggered Random Event: Untitled.]

[Objective: Defeat all unknown enemies.]

[Event Rewards: Experience +10500, Skill Points +1, Free Attribute Points +5.]

"Can’t a person be this unlucky?"

Xiaoli was a bit bewildered. An advertisement sign falling down triggered a random event within the dungeon, but how could an untitled event and unknown enemies appear during a transfer?

Clearly, this stuff shouldn’t be in the Ascension Hall!

Besides, before entering, Wang Ba and the others said there wouldn’t be any combat here, not probably or mostly not, but absolutely not!

This meant Xiaoli encountered another unprecedented event.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset, for his experience was at 500/11000, and completing this event would just allow him to level up.

Within moments, the unknown enemies showed their true forms: peculiar-looking creatures with human-like upper bodies and wriggling mud-like lower bodies, crawling with forelimbs on the ground, while their mouths gaped like black holes with dangling scarlet tongues, their skin entirely pitch-black.

The creatures continued to swarm in from outside; the ones at the forefront leaped from the ground onto the altar.

Fortunately, Xiaoli had prepared in advance, wearing full gear before entering the hall even though it was mentioned there would be no combat for safety’s sake.

"Hiss——"

The tongue-wagging monsters were not weak; judging by their speed and strength, they were probably around level 15.

Honestly, this random event was purely deadly, largely targeting one’s life.

Those who could appear in the Ascension Hall would barely be over level 11, inherently lower than these monsters, and the monsters were numerous, at least dozens or perhaps a hundred when glimpsing around from the altar.

This made Xiaoli’s scalp tingle.

He was level 10, having accumulated many attribute points and consumables in Gu Xuan Town. Although not as much as the ten-star Demon Wind Temple, it was still extraordinary.

In terms of attributes alone, he should be slightly above a typical level 15 person. With enhancements like the big cape and Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, even single-handedly facing these crawling monsters, fighting dozen or twenty wouldn’t be an issue.

However, with such a vast number continuously pouring in from outside, they were beyond count.

This situation was dangerous for him, requiring careful handling; otherwise, someone else would be bitten alive within three minutes.

Crackle.

Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, activate!

.....

Outside the room, Wang Ba was chatting with Wu Bing while waiting for Xiaoli’s transfer to complete, eager to see what profession he would choose.

Once today passed, according to protocol, Xiaoli would officially join all field tasks. As the team leader and partner, Wang Ba naturally needed to learn his profession promptly for future work arrangements.

"Oh, Xiaoli is really reassuring. In just a month since registration, he’s already reaching level 10,"

Wang Ba said contentedly, "I estimate that in less than half a year, our team will gain a capable warrior, by then he should be level 20."

After transferring, each level required more experience, and the leveling pace would naturally slow down; reaching level 20 within six months from level 10 was already an extremely fast pace.

"Shouldn’t we go for a drink today? After all, you don’t have field tasks these two days," Wu Bing suggested.

"Good idea," Wang Ba agreed.

Hearing the men starting to plan for drinks again, Wen Yan turned away with disdain and entered the awakening room. She glanced at the mark on Xiaoli’s hand and suddenly froze.

"Old Wang, come here."

Wang Ba hurried into the room, "Has he woken up?"

The other two followed out of curiosity.

However, upon seeing the mark, they all fell silent. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After a few seconds, Wu Sun hesitantly spoke, "Why, I can’t understand why he created 10 Black Stars just from a transfer? Did he smash the altar?"
