A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Chapter 102 Don Quixote: Boss, have you finally remembered me?

Qi Huan and Wu Shu sat around a smoldering campfire, chatting idly.

Wu Shu sat directly on the tiger's corpse lying on the ground, instantly displaying the demeanor of a tiger-slaying hero from ancient times.

Qi Huan then inquired about some information regarding this secret realm.

He really didn't have much confidence in the folding knife in his backpack.

The interface only provides a few simple lines of information about this secret realm.

Through casual conversation, he learned roughly about the general situation in this secret realm called Black Wind Ridge.

[Secret Realm Name: Black Wind Ridge; Type: Solo/Multiplayer Team; Challenge Level: 1-2]

Description: A mountain range perpetually shrouded in dark clouds, where the howls of wild beasts often echo from the depths of the forest. Black winds frequently blow across the mountain, hence its name, Black Wind Ridge.

Secret Realm Rewards: General Experience, Cross-Network Disaster Coins, Magical Materials, and Secret Realm Exclusive Treasure Chests

According to Wu Shu, the secret realm is a dark mountain forest with dense trees and many wild animals.

The common monsters are mostly wild boars and wolves.

Of course, there are also magnificent tigers.

As for the boss, no one has seen him yet, at least not Wu Shu.

But since it's called Black Wind Ridge, it's hard not to let your imagination run wild—

Upon learning that Qi Huan's profession was a warrior, Wu Shu immediately grabbed Qi Huan's hand.

"Heavens above, we finally have a Terran!"

"Do you know the pain of being the only melee fighter who's also squishy? —"

Qi Huan: ?

Are soldiers meant to take the hits?

However, Wu Shu directly pulled out a shield and a longsword from his backpack and handed them to Qi Huan.

"The basic reward for the dungeon is random basic equipment. None of us can use it, so you can take it for now."

"Brother Warrior, the team's survival depends on you!"

Wu Shu patted Qi Huan's shoulder forcefully and laughed heartily.

Just then, ripples began to spread across the air not far away.

Then one man and two women emerged from the secret realm.

The two women among the players who emerged from the secret realm were Bai Qiu and Qin Yu.

After activating the network, they were pleasantly surprised to find a basic secret realm near the ancient city of Yunzhou.

The two had no interest in sightseeing at this point. They immediately purchased some necessary supplies and equipment and headed to the entrance of the secret realm.

There were quite a few desolate mountains and forests along the way, but fortunately Qin Yu was a druid and guided them all the way. Although it was a bit slow, there were no major problems.

Then, at the entrance to the secret realm, they encountered Wu Shu and Wang Zheng, who had already entered the secret realm once.

After exchanging pleasantries, they added each other as friends and shared their professions.

Bai Qiu, Level 1 Warlock.

Qin Yu, a level 1 Druid.

Wang Zheng, Level 1 Ranger.

Qi Huan, Level 1 Warrior.

And the incongruous —

Wu Shu, Level 2 Monk.

"Sister Wu, how could you betray our Level 1 Alliance and secretly level up!"

Wu Shu pointed to the tiger's carcass on the ground and grinned.

"If I hadn't upgraded, I'm afraid my soul would be weakened by now."

After saying that, she looked at her own hands with a sigh.

"Swift Combo, it's actually pretty useful!"

Bai Qiu rolled her eyes, Qin Yu remained expressionless, and Wang Zheng shifted the hunting rifle onto his shoulder.

Qi Huan stood on the periphery of the crowd, watching these people insult each other.

Wait, a shotgun?

He looked at Wang Zheng with a questioning gaze.

"Where did you get this gun?"

"My dad used to be a forest ranger, and this thing has been sitting at home for over ten years. I never thought it would still be usable—"

"However, we're running low on bullets—"

Wang Zheng smiled.

"At that point, I'll have no choice but to fight them head-on."

After everyone helped Qi Huan set up the camping tent, they headed towards the entrance of the secret realm.

After all, they might all be staying here for quite some time.

Although there is a secret realm teleportation function, it costs money.

With everyone's pockets empty, staying at the entrance to the secret realm has become the most simple, unpretentious, and pragmatic choice.

Rock City.

Cheng Yi scooped the last mushroom out of the pot and put it in his mouth.

There wasn't much soup left in the pot, but the aroma of mushrooms filled the house all night.

He leaned back on the sofa and decided to take a look at the level 6-10 areas of the secret realm.

However, just as he was about to teleport into the secret realm, Cheng Yi seemed to have thought of something and opened his personal battle group panel.

In the next instant, Cheng Yi had already appeared inside the void stronghold.

Don Quixote was practicing his sword moves on a training dummy.

Upon seeing Cheng Yi, he appeared quite pleased.

"Boss, you finally remembered me?"

Don Quixote was wearing a brand-new leather armor, with the rapier hanging at his waist, and his hair was longer than when they last met, tied up messily at the back of his head.

Apart from his rapier, Don Quixote has been completely transformed.

After all, all the equipment Cheng Yi had stockpiled would just be gathering dust in the warehouse if he didn't use it.

He opened the secret realm interface and clicked on the flashing icon.

[Network prompt: Do/Do you want to enter the large public dungeon: Wild Goblin Plague?]

"yes.

[Network Notification: Secret Realm Teleportation Ticket: 200 Network Disaster Coins, already paid (including followers)]

[Network notification: Based on your character level, you can enter the advanced area of ​​the Secret Realm - East Side of Dragon Peak (Levels 6-10)]

When Cheng Yi opened his eyes again, he was already standing on a gray-yellow wasteland.

The sky hung low, the clouds were thick, and in the distance, one could see continuous mountain ridges and sparse bushes.

The air smelled of hay and dust, mixed with a faint odor of animal manure.

Don Quixote appeared behind him, curiously looking around.

Cheng Yi was not in a hurry.

He opened the integrated network panel and first glanced at the information for the current area.

[Current Region: Kingdom Border]

[Level Limit: 1-5]

[Monster: Goblin (specific type not found)]

[Current number of active players in the instance: 3]

There are some skilled players among the new players!

It's only been less than a day, and someone has already cleared a basic dungeon, obtained Disaster Coins, and is now using them to explore public dungeons?

Cheng Yi turned off the panel and looked in the northwest direction.

That's the direction of Longfeng. From his current position, he could only see a blurry mountain silhouette, with the area above the mountainside obscured by clouds and mist.

Cheng Yi directly used the excess image quality to unlock the Shadow Escape's multi-person rapid movement and multi-person stealth branches.

[Network notification: You have consumed 80 Shadow Qualities to unlock the Shadow Escape expansion branch: Multiplayer Synchronization]

[Multi-player Synchronization: When you are in a dark or dimly lit environment, you can include up to two companions in your Shadow Step effect, granting them all a higher level of invisibility and erasing their presence. For each additional companion included, your stealth rolls are reduced by 2.]

[Network notification: You have consumed 120 Shadow Qualities to unlock the Shadow Escape expansion branch: Group Dash]

[Group Dash: When you are in a dark or dimly lit environment, you can include up to two companions in your shadow movement range for synchronized teleportation.]

Cheng Yi turned off the panel, and shadows surged out from beneath his feet once more.

This time, however, the shadow did not only envelop him, but also silently spread to Don Quixote's feet.

Don Quixote glanced down at his own gradually blurring silhouette and remained silent.

The shadows then enveloped Cheng Yi and Don Quixote, sweeping them towards Dragon Peak—
