Chapter 29: Sharing Secrets

  "Is the trouble resolved? What trouble?" Li Qiang on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, then reacted and shouted in disbelief: "You're not joking, are you? You mean you've taken care of Li Qiang?"

  "Haha, I wouldn't joke about this kind of thing with you. But now there's a bit of trouble that needs Brother Li to help deal with, which is that Li Qiang's body is still lying in my house and needs to be taken care of quickly." Su Hong said with a slight smile.

  "Wait for me at home!" Li Dairen on the other end of the phone was still somewhat incredulous, but he didn't ask any more questions and hung up the phone, taking action.

  More than half an hour later, Li Dairen rushed over with a young soldier. After entering the door, the young soldier first smiled and nodded at Su Hong, who had been waiting for a long time, and then hastily bowed his head to examine the corpse on the ground.

  After a while, he raised his head, took a deep breath and said: "Li Ge, confirm that this guy is Li Qiang. Although he disguised himself in the Xueyue space, based on the information he inadvertently revealed in the past, I have figured out his true identity. Compared to his real photo, there shouldn't be much difference, it should be correct."

  "Li Qiang died just like that?" Li Dairen's eyes widened in shock, finding it hard to believe. He turned his head to look at Su Hong, his gaze strange, as if looking at a monster.

  Li Qiang had undergone blood energy enhancement, his physical quality far surpassed that of ordinary people, and it was not something that a gaming nerd like Su Hong could handle. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so tense and cautious when he heard the news, wanting to gather men to guard Su Hong's surroundings.

  But who knew... it wasn't long before Su Hong told him that Li Qiang's troubles had been resolved, and Li Qiang's corpse was now lying at his feet. This result was far beyond what he and Chu Ge had expected.

  Could it be that this kid has undergone Blood Energy Enhancement? Otherwise, how could he have countered Li Qiang and even killed him?

  But soon, Li Dairen shook his head and threw the thought to the back of his mind. It wasn't that he didn't want to believe it, but it was simply impossible. A newcomer like him, no matter how great his growth potential was, had only experienced two battles, so how could he possibly accumulate one hundred Bloody Coins so quickly?

  He took a deep look at Su Hong, and Li Dairen didn't ask any more questions in a hurry. Instead, he pulled out his mobile phone and made a call. Then, a burly man wearing black sunglasses walked upstairs, carrying a large black woven bag. He quickly put Li Qiang's body into it and dragged it downstairs.

  "It seems that Brother Li hasn't been idle in killing people and stealing goods." Seeing Li Qiang's body being taken away, Su Hong couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, smiling and teasing.

  "Hey, big bro, I was trying to help you out of trouble, but instead you're taking it out on me." Li Dairen rolled his eyes in annoyance before introducing, "This person beside me is Colonel Chu Ge, also known as the devilish sorcerer you're familiar with."

  "Chu Ge, nice to meet you. No need to thank me for the great kindness, if there's anything I can do in the future, I'll definitely go all out." Su Hong shook hands with Chu Ge and said solemnly.

  "Su Hong, little brother, it's just a small matter, you're making a big deal out of it." Chu Ge waved his hand, pretending to be unhappy, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

  "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been so lazy and would have taken the initiative to help you clear your name. Although I'm not as efficient as that Chu Ge guy, with my connections, I should be able to help Uncle wash away his grievances." Li Dairen said somewhat sourly.

  "Heh heh, I will naturally remember Li Ge's kindness in my heart. To repay the kindness of both of you, I'll reveal a major secret about the Xuan Yue space to you, which also happens to resolve the doubts in your minds." Su Hong said with a light smile.

  "What's the major secret of Shangyue Space?" Li Dairen and Chu Ge exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes. As seasoned veterans who had been through many battles, they only had a preliminary understanding of Shangyue Space, far from being profound. Yet Su Hong, a newcomer, claimed to have discovered its major secret. If it weren't for Su Hong not looking like someone who would exaggerate, the two of them would have questioned him on the spot.

  Seeing Li Dairen's two seemingly somewhat disbelieving, Su Hong's mouth corners slightly twitched, after slightly adjusting his thoughts, he slowly began to speak.

  Originally, Su Hong intended to keep this secret hidden for the time being, but after Li Qiang's sudden situation, he changed his mind.

  As for Li Qiang's death, both Li Dairui and Chu Ge have already had doubts in their hearts. If there isn't a good explanation, it will definitely leave a rift between the two of them. In that case, it's better to be frank with each other. After all, they are now considered a small group, and after this period of contact, Li Dairui and Chu Ge seem not bad either. At least they don't appear to be selfish people. There will definitely be many opportunities for cooperation in the future, so it's not worth causing distance between them because of this matter.

  Also, the most important point is that the space of Cang Yue is extremely mysterious, and the ruler is all-powerful. The secrets hidden within are too numerous to count. It's impossible for one person to dig out all the secrets on their own. If everyone has ulterior motives from the start, it can be predicted that this small team will not go far.

  So Su Hong didn't hide anything, and told them about the special reward given by the ruler, the perilous trial of blood refinement, as well as the final reward of +2 to all attributes.

  After listening, Li Dairen and the other two were shocked and fell into a long silence. Su Hong was not in a hurry, but just smiled slightly, sitting quietly on the side, patiently waiting for the two to slowly digest and absorb the information he had revealed.

  After a long time, Li Dairen finally raised his head, hoarsely saying, breaking the silence: "Su Hong younger brother, your meaning is that on the ancient ruins battlefield, if you can get five kills or become a super god, then there is a possibility to obtain the Lord's special reward?"

  Li Dairen did not question Su Hong's meaning, and in connection with Li Qiang's death, he had already fully believed it. Moreover, Su Hong didn't have the need to deceive him, so after a pause, he continued analyzing without waiting for Su Hong's response: "If that's really the case, then the information revealed by Brother Su Hong is indeed a major secret, and I believe only a very small number of people can know about it."

  "That's for sure! Normally, when we play virtual battle games, a five-kill streak or an ultra-kill is extremely rare, let alone on the bloody ancient battlefield of the real world. So I estimate that in the entire Shangyue space, the number of people who know this secret can't exceed one-tenth." Chu Ge also came back to her senses and said excitedly, looking at Su Hong with a grateful gaze. If it weren't for Su Hong's straightforward words, they would have had to wait a long time before discovering this secret on their own.

  After learning this great secret, in future battles, especially when the situation is favorable, as long as they have the heart and a little bit of luck, they may not have the opportunity to obtain the special reward of the ruler.

  Tempering blood once, all attributes +2, is equivalent to 600 Blood Coins!

  Just thinking about it, Li Dairen and Chu Ge were excited and thrilled, clenching their fists tightly, their bodies slightly trembling, their faces flushed with excitement, not knowing if it was also because the two had already undergone Blood Tempering Strengthening...

  "Li Ge, you two shouldn't be too excited. The special reward of the Dominator isn't that easy to get, and the entire process of tempering in blood is extremely painful, almost despairing, not everyone can hold on, so if the opportunity really arises in the future, you must prepare yourselves mentally." Su Hong warned in a low voice.

  Seeing Li Dairen's two people getting overexcited, Su Hong timely rang the alarm bell. He, who had experienced it personally, deeply knew the horror of the blood-tempering process. Rather than saying that the master gave special rewards, it was better to say that the master was testing and tempering these trial-takers in disguise. If they passed the test, they would be able to turn their suffering into happiness, but if they failed, they would end up in a miserable and tragic situation.

  "Haha, don't worry, we have a deeper understanding of the bloody cruelty in Xueyue Space than you do. We naturally understand the dangers within. If there's really an opportunity to temper our blood, we'll definitely be extremely cautious." Li Dairen smiled slightly.

  "Haha, thanks for the reminder, Su brother. However, although the process of tempering blood is dangerous, I believe that not many people can resist the temptation of a +2 bonus to all attributes." Chu Ge laughed loudly and said with a eager tone.

  Su Hong couldn't help but feel a little speechless, but seeing that the two hadn't lost their minds, he didn't say anything more. As Chu Ge said, refining blood was indeed dangerous, but to become stronger and stand firm in the Cang Yue space, no one would give up such a great opportunity.

  Without saying a word, Li Dairen and Chu Ge stood up in unison, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding Su Hong, and loudly interrogated him, "You little scoundrel, confess now! How did you manage to get five kills in a row?!"
