A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Chapter 117 Truly a Plenty of ...

Summer weather is always unpredictable; one moment it's sunny and bright, and the next it's overcast and pouring rain.

Just as Cheng Yi scooped the noodles out of the water, he heard the dull, irregular sound of raindrops hitting the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

He glanced out the kitchen window; the sky was a hazy gray, and a dense curtain of rain hung down, blurring even the outline of the old residential building across the street.

Summer rain can come suddenly.

Cheng Yi placed the pot on the coffee table, went back to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks, poured himself a glass of soda, and sat down on the sofa.

Braised noodles (fantasy version)!

The hand-pulled noodles, rinsed in cold water, are topped with scrambled eggs with tomatoes and meat sauce. All three are mixed together, leaving the noodles coated in a glistening red sauce.

He sprinkled some more chopped green onions on top.

Cheng Yi picked up a mouthful of noodles, slurped it in, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

The noodles were hand-pulled noodles from the market, a familiar taste that Cheng Yi had been eating for many years.

The eggs were free-range eggs from the countryside, one of the truly good things about the countryside.

While these two remain within the realm of the mundane, tomatoes and meat sauce possess a touch of fantasy—

The tomato is a "Gaze Tomato" featured in the personal showcase of a druid on the apprentice forum who is obsessed with growing vegetables. It is described as being grown under sustainable light and has a slightly sweet taste.

At least Cheng Yi tasted one and was fairly satisfied.

The pork belly in the meat sauce came from a robust dragon-blooded wild boar, which Cheng Yi had encountered unexpectedly in the Dragon Vein Maze City.

At that moment, Cheng Yi knew immediately that it was a good leg.

And as it turns out, this is indeed the case.

The meat is firm and fatty but not greasy.

Besides its spiciness infused with dragon's blood, it's also exceptionally chewy.

Cheng Yi stirred the noodles with his chopsticks, slurped up a big mouthful, and then opened the forum for this dimension.

After these days of development, this forum is no longer as deserted as it was at the beginning.

Although most posts are just general help requests like "Newbie needs help," "Dungeon team," and "How to fight goblins," you can occasionally find a few interesting ones.

Cheng Yi chewed on the noodles while slicing them down.

Then he noticed a live stream post that had been pushed to the front page.

[Live Stream] Four Level 3 pros explore the depths of the wilderness! Challenging an elite goblin camp!

The poster's ID was "I'm charging with plate armor on my body," and the profile picture was a female version of a paladin from an anime.

Cheng Yi raised an eyebrow, clicked on the link, and opened the posts in chronological order.

"Brothers, after grinding day and night for the past few days, the four of us have finally reached level 3! We're now in the top tier!"

""

"We're going to pull off a big heist today! Deep into the wilderness, we're going to cause trouble for an elite goblin camp! Live stream throughout, updates will be irregular! Welcome to join us!"

The comments section already has over ten pages of replies.

Another bucket of instant noodles: What's your setup, OP?

Plate Armor on My Shoulder (OP): Reply to Another Bucket of Instant Noodles: Me, Paladin, Oath of Vengeance; Aqi is a combat master of the polearm style; Momo is a cursed swordsman; and there's Xiongman Wild Bro, what kind of setup do you think we have? (picking nose)

Cheng Yi: ?

Are these newcomers really that overpowered?

The post has already exploded with discussion after seeing this configuration.

A martial arts team: Vengeful Paladin + Polearm Master + Cursed Sword + Bear Barbarian — what an overpowered melee team! (facepalm)

Rebuilding the Glory of the Darkness: Replying to Friendship Through Martial Arts: Do you need a healer? Who can keep us alive?

Plate Armor on My Charge (OP): Reply to Reforged Dark Glory: Why use a healer? Just hack and slash! At worst, I can use Holy Light to heal a couple of times. The Cursed Sword has Vulnerability Curse, and the Wild Guy has maxed out Berserk resistance, so he doesn't need a healer at all!

Cheng Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

Vulnerability Curse is a core spell for the Spellblade in the early game. It has one hit point, marks a target, and inflicts additional Dark Corrosion damage on each hit. Combined with "Agony Explosion" from Arcane Invocation, its damage output is indeed quite high.

The problem is that the Spellblade's melee ability requires level 5 to obtain multiple attacks through the Magic Contract, while Magic Blast is a ranged spell. At level 3, this class is in an awkward stage where it can fight in both melee and ranged combat, but neither aspect is fully developed.

Needless to say, the Bear Warrior, at level 3, chooses the Bear Totem, which grants resistance to all damage except for mind damage during its berserk state.

At this level, almost no monsters can inflict mind damage, so it's basically equivalent to having physical, elemental, and poison damage all halved, making it incredibly tanky.

Combat Master Polearm Style: Polearm Masters specialize in opportunistic attack control, combining precise attacks and intimidating attacks to keep enemies out of range, preventing them from charging while ensuring their own hits land.

The Avenging Paladin is even more classic. The channeled divine power "Oath of the Enemy," usable at level 3, grants an advantage on attack rolls against all enemies for one minute when used on oneself. Combined with the burst damage of Holy Slash, it's one of the most brainless burst damage options in the starting village.

One burst combo can take them down; if not, have Xiongman tank the damage and then finish them off with Cursed Sword.

It is indeed an overly aggressive racing team.

But Cheng Yi felt that something was not quite right.

When will you give me Fireball? Level 3 and you dare to go to the elite goblin camp? Dude, do you guys even know what's in the elite goblin camp?

Plate Armor on My Body (OP): Reply to When Will I Get Fireball: What could it be? It's just bear goblins and goblin shamans. We've killed at least dozens of them in the past few days. We're very familiar with them.

When will you give me Fireball? ———— The bear goblin in the elite goblin camp is level 8 (facepalm)

A moment of silence—

Another bowl of instant noodles: Level 8? ???

When will you give me Fireball? Reply to "Another bucket of instant noodles": Yes, the boss of the elite goblin camp is an 8th-level bear goblin overlord, with a built-in fanaticism aura, and several level 5-6 bear goblin warriors and goblin shamans under his command. If you four go at level 3, I'm afraid you'll all be wiped out (picking nose).

Plate Armor on, I'm Charging (OP): When will you give me Fireball?: It's okay, we're well-equipped and our skills are decent. If we can't win, we'll just run away. It's not like we don't have legs (grin).

One shot from 800 li away kills him instantly: OP, you have such a mouth—I bet you guys won't last half an hour. Mount & Blade Master: Half an hour? Ten minutes no more. Wild Soul: Brothers, don't be like that, what if he actually succeeds? (Lights a cigarette)

Cheng Yi scrolled down further and found that the original poster had started updating in real time.

Plate armor on, I'm charging! (OP): Let's go! We're already deep in the wilderness! Everything's going well so far. The map shows a small camp ahead, let's check it out!

【Picture.jpg】

The photo was taken at dusk in the wilderness, in dim light, with a few dilapidated tents and a smoking campfire faintly visible on the distant hills.

The image quality is blurry, but you can tell that the campsite is quite large.

Martial Arts Friendship: This camp doesn't look like a "small" one. OP: Reply to Martial Arts Friendship: It's okay, let's go check it out first.

About five minutes later, the original poster updated again.

Plate Armor on My Way (OP): We've reached the outskirts of the camp. Brothers, things aren't looking good. There are three bear goblins patrolling outside, along with a few goblins in robes, who are probably shamans.

Another bucket of instant noodles: Three bear goblins? ??? You only have four people? I'm charging in with my plate armor on. (OP): It's okay, Wild Bro can take on two (grinning)

Wild Bro (Xiong Man) seems to have logged in himself, as he replied with:

Wild Bro: Absolutely! Anyone who uses Bear Totem Frenzy knows how powerful it is. It provides incredible physical damage resistance, making it incredibly durable!

Making friends through martial arts: The problem is, are you sure you can withstand three of them attacking at once?

Wild Guy: Why don't you try it and see? (doge)

Looking at the group of people's confident appearance, Cheng Yi suddenly recalled his experience at the Kram camp.

At that time, he was also level 3. He sneaked in alone and killed an entire camp of goblins plus a bear goblin leader.

But that's because he used sneak attacks and shadow teleportation, rather than a head-on confrontation.

This team consists entirely of players who specialize in head-on confrontations.

It's not that they can't do it, but the problem is that their level is too low.

When a level 3 warrior fights a level 8 warrior, the hit rate is already low. Even if the paladin activates Oath of the Enemy, it's only an advantage, not a guarantee of a hit.

An 8th-level goblin overlord's health is so low that a single round of focused fire is not enough to kill him.

A single blow from the Bear Goblin Warlord's hammer can kill at least one enemy.

Even if the bear goes berserk and its damage is halved, it should still fall after two hits.

What's more, he also brought along several level 5-6 bear goblin warriors and goblin shamans.

All I can say is, good luck to you guys.
