Comprehensive Network: The Chosen One Who Started from Speed-farming and Destroying Ashes

Chapter 11 Demonized Ashes (First Update!)

By the time the last chili peppers were added, they had already been stir-fried until soft and mushy.

The fat that seeps out from the lean chunks of meat coats the chili peppers with their unique spiciness.

Yi Qingfeng figured it should be ready by now...

I've been working on this for so long.

Even if it really is a weight, you should at least be able to taste something about it...

Since there were no suitable plates, Yi Qingfeng simply brought over a basin.

The flesh of a ferocious tooth is much heavier than pork of the same volume.

Yi Qingfeng noticed this while cutting the meat.

At this moment, looking at the large bowl of fragrant stir-fried pork in front of him, Yi Qingfeng didn't have much to worry about.

He picked up a large piece and began to chew:
It has a crispy texture from the slight carbonization of fresh meat under the fat, and a substantial texture from being thoroughly infused with flavor.

If it were regular pork, it would have been thoroughly cooked long ago after being blanched so many times.

In local slang, it should be "overcooked"...

But the flesh of the fangs was clearly "tested."

Thanks to the repeated blanching of the spices, the meat doesn't have the gamey or pungent taste typical of wild game.

Yi Qingfeng ate half a bowl of rice with relish.

This amount of food exceeded his usual limit.

Of course, if we really want to talk about it:
The total amount of exercise I expend in the past month probably doesn't compare to what I've done in just these two days...

As for the dough that had already risen, Yi Qingfeng temporarily put it in the refrigerator.

For the people of Shicheng, located in the south:

Steamed buns and bread are typically served as snacks or breakfast items.

It's still a bit unusual to use it as a main dish for a regular meal.

This is a classic example of the differences between the North and the South...

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Yi Qingfeng sat lazily in his chair.

There are currently no dungeons to run.

Of course, he would search the trading section of the online player forum every now and then.

Let's see if we can find any of the rare dungeon invitations that have been released.

Speaking of which, I wonder if any online forums have plugins or anything that can automatically buy items...

In response, Yi Qingfeng, who has previously used "cyber-powered" technology in many video games, had this thought.

Speaking of which, he was quite curious about the goblin merchant named "Bakerson" who had just been added.

The other party seems to be from another dimension?

Unless, in some distant corner of his universe.

There also exists a civilization built by goblins, slowly developing on its home planet...

However, these are things that are naturally inconvenient to ask directly.

Even with the current transcendent integrated network system, Yi Qingfeng still only has a superficial understanding.

However, he was undoubtedly very cautious about the actual physical address.

After all, even on Earth Online's cyber network, they would want to ask for your real address.

She's most likely not a cute anime girl, but a vengeful warrior whose rage has reached its peak...

In addition to searching for the copy invitation, Yi Qingfeng also opened his comprehensive network panel.

The Ferocious Fang dungeon unlocks the Bloodline Mod for the Rampaging Boar.

It also offers new treasure hunting talents:
"Demonized Ashes?"

As Yi Qingfeng clicked in the void, the boundless universe corresponding to the treasure-hunting star map reappeared before his eyes.

At this moment, apart from the galaxy corresponding to the strange group.

In this drastically different location, a new galaxy emerges:
"

Treasure Hunt Talent Star Map - Demonic Ashes (Not yet unlocked):

Keystone Talents:

Scope of application: All dungeons except for certain special limited dungeons (non-limited dungeons only affect individual loot drops in team dungeons).

Talent effect:

The dungeon monsters you kill now drop Enchanted Ash. (0/1) Cluster Talent (Activation requirement not met: Keystone Talent)

Star Cluster Sub-Map (Not yet acquired, currently available: Elite Hunter)

Remaining available talent points: 1
Number of Talent Star Maps currently available: 1/2
"

After thinking for a moment, Yi Qingfeng pointed to the demonized ashes in the void, which clearly displayed distinct markings.

He now roughly knows:
These displayed words can be clicked to get additional annotations.

It does resemble hyperlinks in Earth Online's cybernetic network somewhat?
As Yi Qingfeng clicked, a related notification appeared on his retina:

"Enchanted Ashes: A basic extraordinary material that can be used in various fields such as extraordinary enchanting and item enhancement."

Basic extraordinary materials?

Looking at the annotations on this topic on the webpage, Yi Qingfeng couldn't help but fall into thought.

For him, this thing seemed to have no practical value for the time being.

I just don't know how it will perform when sold on the trading board.

Referring to the acquisition of the Demonic Ashes talent cluster, Yi Qingfeng gradually realized the depth of the Treasure Hunting Star Cluster pool...

If it's obtained randomly, who knows what kind of star clusters you might get?

In contrast, it's better to honestly invest your limited talent points into increasing the number of monsters in the star cluster.

This is undoubtedly a more prudent choice.

Yi Qingfeng is now gradually developing his own understanding of the Treasure Star Cluster.

Based on his previous experience in many grinding games:
Each treasure-hunting constellation requires a significant investment of resources to yield corresponding rewards.

If it's just about unlocking, the benefits are obviously not very good.

Of course, Yi Qingfeng now needs to limit the opening of the Treasure Hunting Star Cluster.

In this way, he can gain additional talent points.

Thinking like this.

Yi Qingfeng chose to spend 1 Treasure Hunting Talent Point and invest it in the foundational talent of Demonized Ashes:

"Network notification: You have activated the Treasure Map - Demonized Ashes!"

"Network notification: Your current number of Treasure Hunting Star Maps that can be activated has reached the limit. You will not be able to obtain new Treasure Hunting Talent Groups from clearing dungeons for the time being. Instead, you will receive an additional +2 Treasure Hunting Talent Points."

+2?

Yi Qingfeng's eyes lit up immediately.

It seems that the activation limit of the Treasure Map also affects additional Treasure Hunting Talent Points?
With the unlocking of the keystone talent, he was also able to see several sub-talents recently extended from Demonic Ash:
"

Resurgence of embers (0/5):
There is an additional chance (10%~50%) that the Enchanted Ashes you drop in dungeons will be duplicated.

Ashes Vision (0/2, cap unlocked with level):
Enchanted Ashes dropped in dungeons have a chance (fixed 10%) to gain an additional random affix tag (lv1: Lesser Elemental Essence).

Strongest Embers (0/3):
The boss monster in your dungeon will always drop 1 stack of Enchanted Ashes.

"

…………

…………

After taking a quick look, Yi Qingfeng paid no further attention.

For him now, the main purpose of this Demonic Ash talent cluster is to limit the Treasure Hunting Star Map.

After that, once you've maxed out the Monster Swarm talent points...

He will probably consider removing this talent cluster.

Farming materials quickly doesn't seem like a very promising career path...

Thinking this, Yi Qingfeng then opened the integrated network panel again.

He was going to see how much killing experience was needed to level up to Paladin level 3:
"Network notification: Upgrading a Paladin's class level to lv3 requires 5000 kill experience points. Current kill experience reserves: 3500/5000..."

5000?

It's not that high...

At this rate, reaching level 10 in a week shouldn't be a problem.
Yi Qingfeng thought optimistically.
