Instance Description: A murky bay strewn with reefs and shallows, home to a community of fish-men. Every morning is their favorite time of day.

Cheng Yi sat on the sofa, looked at the instance information, and frowned.

The morning was not a friendly time for him.

Cheng Yi's abilities are mostly found in shadows and darkness; the night or enclosed spaces are his domain.

As for the morning, under the bright sun, Cheng Yi felt he might be used as a snack by the fishmen during their nap...

So, shall we wait another day?

I'll wait for tomorrow's dungeon refresh and pray that I'll encounter a dungeon environment that suits my playstyle.

Cheng Yi smiled.

Knowing his own shortcomings but not making up for them is not his style.

Although the previous Phase Transmission Crystals are unusable due to version issues, the Multiverse Trading Center is not just for show.

Moreover...

The items you consigned for sale on the exchange: Skill Crystal (Venom Gland) and Skill Crystal (Spider Walk) have been sold. You have received 100 Web Disaster Coins.

[Your item listed for sale on the auction house: Skill Crystal (Phase Teleport) has been sold, and you have received 1900 Crossfire Coins.]

Looking at the 3630 Comprehensive Network Disaster Coins on the panel, Cheng Yi's face revealed the joy of wealth.

I'm rich now.jpg

With over 3000 silver dollars in his pocket, Cheng Yi immediately opened the Multiverse Trading Center and began shopping.

Then, Cheng Yi looked at the 130 disaster coins he had left in his account and fell into deep thought.

"I don't think I bought much, although what I did buy was a bit expensive..."

Inside Cheng Yi's backpack, two items lay quietly.

[The Cloud Giant's Legacy Runes]

Type: Inheritance/Skill Crystal

Quality: Blue

Origin: Beyond the Clouds

Description: You have inherited the frivolous words and magical secrets symbolizing the cloud giant, and you have learned the inherited skill [Cloud Deception].

Price: 2000 Crossnet Disaster Coins

Cloud Deception

Type: Inherited Skill / Cloud Giant

Cost: 1 mana

Description: Your Perception attribute gains a 1-point boost, up to a maximum of 20. You can teleport to a visible, unoccupied space within a 30-foot radius using a reaction action. If a creature hits you on an attack roll within 30 seconds of teleporting, you automatically gain resistance to that attack's damage.

P.S.: A slumbering deity of clouds is like a massive cloud mountain, slowly drifting across the sky, never to dissipate. — Mano, Cloud Observer

Killing Crystal: Blood Blade

Type: Skill Crystal

Quality: Blue

Origin: Battlefield No. 665

Requirement: Perception attribute greater than or equal to 13

Description: After using this skill crystal, you gain the skill [Blood Blade].

Price: 1500 Crossnet Disaster Coins

Blood Blade

Type: Class Skills/Blood School

Cost: 10% of health

Description: With a swift action, you can consume your own life force to infuse a weapon with magic. For 1 minute, each time the weapon hits a target, it will tear open the target's wound, causing significant additional bleeding damage. Simultaneously, the weapon will absorb the target's bleeding blood, restoring the wielder health equal to half the amount of bleeding damage.

P.S.: Your blood is my medicine. —Strad von Zarovich, Master of the Crow's Pavilion

Cheng Yi first used the Cloud Giant's inherited runes to enhance his mobility in light-filled environments.

The talisman transformed into a silvery-white light that entered Cheng Yi's brow. A light feeling rose from the soles of his feet, as if someone was gently supporting him from behind.

Wisps of ethereal clouds rose and dissipated, eventually returning to calm. But Cheng Yi felt that the world around him had become more vibrant and clearer.

You have acquired the inherited skill: Cloud Deception (lv1)

Your perception attribute has been improved: from 13 to 14.

Then comes the Blood Blade.

The dark red crystal turned into a pool of viscous blood, which seeped into Cheng Yi's body and circulated throughout his body with his blood.

Cheng Yi looked down at his right hand. There were no marks on the skin, but he could feel something flowing in his veins. Then a bloodthirsty urge surged into Cheng Yi's heart.

But soon, this impulse was overwhelmed by the will that had been amplified by perception in the brain.

You have acquired the class skill: Blood Blade (lv1)

"No wonder there are requirements regarding perception attributes."

Cheng Yi nodded secretly. Then he casually upgraded the two new skills.

[You have consumed 1000 Universal Experience Points. Your skill: Cloud Deception has been upgraded to Level 2.]

[You have consumed 2000 Universal Experience Points. Your skill: Blood Blade has been upgraded to level 2.]

The 1000 Universal Experience increases the range of Cloud Deception from 30 feet to 60 feet, while the upgrade experience is a leap forward compared to Bloodblade, which has doubled the experience.

【Blood Blade (lv2): The weapon absorbs the blood of the target, restoring the wielder health equal to the amount of bleeding damage.】

It has changed from half-damage life steal to full-damage life steal!

Cheng Yi was very satisfied.

Just as he was about to start running the dungeon, another notification from the network interrupted his actions.

[Based on global dissemination and diverse mapping, your story's visibility has increased in the Carolusian dimension.]

You have gained 100 general experience points and 1 story point.

"The Carlosian plane?" Cheng Yi withdrew his hand from the instance and pondered to himself.

Perhaps, that is where the story missions he experienced before took place.

A mix of excitement and shame washed over him as his actions were celebrated and sung. Cheng Yi rubbed his face, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind, and opened the story skill tree.

Who wouldn't like to get new story points?

The current detection range is sufficient. Looking at the skill tree, Cheng Yi decided to prioritize leveling up the prerequisites for increasing damage.

A subtle force wrapped around Cheng Yi's wrist, and more assassination techniques surfaced in his mind.

You have unlocked the story skill: Dark Mark.

Dark marks

Type: Story Skills/Assassination

Description: Your blade leaves no blood when it slices through a target's throat. If your first attack on any creature hits, the target will not utter a sound greater than a whisper due to pain, fear, or instinct. Furthermore, the corpse of a creature you kill will not bleed or bleed for one minute after death.

Everything is ready.

Cheng Yi refocused his attention and looked back at the instance icon of Fishman Bay.
