A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Cheng Yi examined the long, narrow, and eerie skeletal mask in his hand. He figured this was something he'd only use when he was alone in a dungeon.

Two points in Agility are certainly appealing, but it's no fun if you accidentally hurt friendly units.

Cheng Yi didn't want to waste his precious secondary legendary resistance on the debuffs he was building up against himself...

Moreover, the more Cheng Yi looked at the mask, the more familiar it seemed.

It looks a bit like a sheep's head?

Cheng Yi banished the thought of the treasure hunt from his mind and looked at the last item in his hand.

[Professional Succession Scroll]

Quality: Golden

Job Restriction: Wanderer

Description: An ancient scroll simultaneously depicting cloud patterns, wild cranes, and arcane star trails, exuding a faint air of mystery.

Using this scroll grants you the profession legacy: Hermit.

Cheng Yi immediately unrolled the scroll.

You have acquired the profession legacy: Hermit.

The Hermit

Lineage: Ancient and Extraordinary Civilization of the East / Arcane Eternity

A wondrous encounter led to a delightful and profound exchange between a reclusive Qi cultivator from the East and a Tarot hermit from the Arcane Society. This scroll is one of the products of their dialogue. The Eastern concept of "concealing oneself within heaven and earth" and the Arcane principle of "concealing oneself within the laws" converge here.

You have acquired the professional skills: blending into the crowd and becoming one with nature.

Hidden in the crowd

[Network Notice: The Hermit is a legacy class. After acquiring this class, you can unlock the next stage of inheritance for every 5 Wanderer class levels you gain.]

Cheng Yi's expression was somewhat subtle.

What is this? A fusion of East and West?

Our ancestors had quite a wide circle of friends.

Cheng Yi pondered for a moment, noticing that the surrounding environment had become cooler and the buzzing sound was gradually fading away...

This is simply an essential item for falling asleep in the summer!

------------

On a summer morning, apart from students on vacation, the world is still bustling with activity.

Cheng Yi sat on the side of the street, squinting at the bustling traffic while eating fried dough sticks and tofu pudding.

The freshly fried dough sticks are crispy and fragrant, making a crunchy sound when you bite into them. Break off another piece and put it in a bowl. Once it softens in the broth of the savory tofu pudding, it has a different flavor altogether.

The most wonderful thing is the state of being crisp on top and soft on the bottom.

While eating, Cheng Yi browsed the comprehensive network panel.

As he scrolled through the pages, Cheng Yi noticed two notifications from the online community that he had previously ignored.

[Network Notification: Your job level has reached level 5. The Multiverse Exchange Plaza (Apprentice Zone: Levels 5-10) of this plane cluster is now open to you.]

[Network notification: Your job level has reached level 5, and the Multi-Battle mode is now available to you]

Cheng Yi examined it carefully. The Multiverse Exchange Plaza was different from a forum; it was a large, neutral plane where players from the multiverse could communicate face-to-face.

Cheng Yi was somewhat curious.

For someone who has never even left their own country, interdimensional travel is undoubtedly hard to resist...

Cheng Yi wiped his mouth, greeted the boss, and slowly walked back along the street.

Back in the old house, Cheng Yi sat cross-legged in the second bedroom.

[Enter the Multiverse Communication Plaza of this Plane Cluster (Apprentice Area: Levels 5-10)?]

"Yes."

The familiar dizziness returned, and when Cheng Yi opened his eyes again, he was already standing in a huge circular plaza.

The sky was a deep purple, and although there was no sun, light filled the entire space from all directions. The plaza was paved with huge gray-white stone slabs, each engraved with a different pattern.

"Hey kid, you're obviously new here. I have a plaza guide here, only 50 disaster coins, cheap and a good deal! Want one?"

A dwarf approached and tapped Cheng Yi on the shoulder.

Cheng Yi's eyes twitched; this scene looked so much like a classic plot from an online novel.

The protagonist arrives at a market town, where "helpful" people immediately swarm around him, offering guides at prices that are neither particularly expensive nor cheap. This information is mostly public knowledge. Then comes the classic protagonist revealing the truth, leading to a plot twist...

Cheng Yi smiled and accepted the dwarf's offer. He wasn't short of disaster coins, and besides, gathering information would take some time.

The dwarf was taken aback, probably not expecting this seemingly naive kid to be so agreeable.

He deftly pulled a stack of booklets from his pocket, submitted the transaction request, and muttered to himself:

"Don't worry, this guide is absolutely worth the price. You can ask around and find out who I am, Redmane Gris!"

The deal was done, and the dwarf beamed with joy.

"Since you've been so agreeable, here's another piece of news for you. There are a few big guilds in the region that are currently raiding, and the pay is pretty good. You could check it out."

Cheng Yi nodded but didn't reply. The dwarf tactfully left.

The guide is small, but it is very detailed and richly illustrated.

The Multiverse Exchange Plaza is divided into four areas: the Trading Area, the Arena Area, the Entertainment Area, and the Residence Area.

The trading area is located on the east side of the square. It is where players set up stalls, auction, and exchange items, and it is also the liveliest area in the entire square.

The trading zone was created based on a strange obsession: some players had absolute confidence in their own eyesight.

Cheng Yi stated that finding bargains was not an area where someone as unlucky as him could possibly get involved...

The arena area is located on the west side, featuring a dedicated cluster of arena halls for players to engage in PVP matches and rank up. There are spectator seats available, and betting is also possible.

This is also one of the locations of the Comprehensive Network Honor Arena. Cheng Yi was temporarily teleported here to compete before.

The entertainment area is located on the south side, with taverns, hotels, restaurants, and clubs all available for players to relax and unwind.

The base is located on the north side and is a long-term leased base for some large guilds and warbands. Each base has its own flag and emblem at the entrance and is not open to the public.

Cheng Yi thought for a moment, then walked towards the entertainment area...
