A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Cheng Yi weighed the witch's treasure chest in his hand and suddenly remembered that he had completed a campaign side quest.

He opened the task panel.

As expected, the campaign side quest: Silverleaf's Request has already been marked as completed.

Cheng Yi casually collected the battle-limited treasure chest, then gazed at the eternal twilight of the boundless fairy wilderness.

He couldn't help but ask himself.

Will I ever come back?

This thought only lingered in Cheng Yi's mind for a moment. The next instant, he turned the interdimensional travel ring on his hand.

After a spatial distortion, Cheng Yi's figure disappeared from the spot.

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

A fortress of sharp blades, standing before the surging waves.

Cheng Yi stood on a towering cliff, looking down at the snowflake-like waves crashing against the rocks.

Climbing to a high place and looking into the distance, one can enjoy a broad and open view.

Blade Fortress, located in the plane of Calipis, has been a strategic location fought over by military strategists since ancient times.

To the north lies the Botao Sea, and to the south, the Chijiao Ocean, with a narrow land bridge spanning between these two seas.

The terrain is somewhat similar to that of my hometown, Panama.

The Blade Fortress is situated on this narrow land bridge.

Cheng Yi put most of his equipment back into his system inventory.

After all, he was about to go diving, and while his gear wasn't exactly heavy, it wasn't exactly lightweight either.

This can probably be considered a way of giving up external dependence and facing one's own mindset.

Since joining the Comprehensive Network, Cheng Yi has always tried to keep himself fully armed. It's rare for him to relax like today, taking off his gear and embracing the sea breeze.

Facing the sea breeze, he inexplicably felt a sense of relaxation.

Cheng Yi changed into casual clothes, looked at the surging waves at his feet, and took a deep breath.

Then he jumped.

The impact of entering the water ran through his entire body, the waves burst open and then quickly closed, dragging him into the depths of the ocean.

Cheng Yi did not turn off underwater breathing at this time, since the water depth near the coast was not deep enough to meet the requirements for advancing the breathing technique.

He swam all the way into the deep sea.

Until he saw a deep abyss.

It's probably the ultimate, budget-friendly version of the Mariana Trench in another world?

With that thought in mind, Cheng Yi swam towards the depths of the abyss.

Cheng Yi only stopped when his physique began to show signs of its limits.

At this moment, Cheng Yi had no idea how many meters underwater he was. The thick seawater blocked out all light, and the surroundings were pitch black, but it could not block Cheng Yi's vision.

He exhaled his last mouthful of seawater and took his last breath of oxygen.

Then Cheng Yi stopped breathing underwater.

The first wave of suffocation surged in a few breaths later, his body's functions frantically demanding the remaining oxygen.

Cheng Yi focused his mind and began to silently practice the Abyss Watch Breathing Technique.

My heart pounded like a drum in my chest, and fragmented hallucinations flickered on the edge of my consciousness.

Cheng Yi tried his best to cross his legs and formed a mudra with his hands in front of his chest.

Under the pressure of the deep seawater,

He breathed.

Or rather, he was breathing in his consciousness.

As his mind ebbed and flowed and his consciousness breathed, some invisible energy was inhaled into his body, replacing oxygen and maintaining his physiological functions.

A very faint, crisp sound came from deep within the bones, and a deep, long rhythm surged from the marrow, spreading along the meridians to the limbs and bones.

The seawater no longer squeezed him, but supported him; it no longer oppressed him, but became a medium.

You have completed the Trial of the Abyss: Deep Dive

Your general skill: Abyss Watch Breathing Technique upgraded to level 2.

[Network notification: Based on your skills, you have gained 1 limited attribute point]

Cheng Yi opened his eyes in the deep sea, slowly breathing in the invisible energy of the seawater.

These invisible energies do not only exist in the seawater, but also exist in the much wider expanse of heaven and earth.

This greatly enhances the value of this breathing technique.

Not only in deep waters, but also in other dangerous places where breathing is impossible and biological forbidden zones, Cheng Yi has also developed a certain survival ability.

With these thoughts in mind, he broke through the heavy seawater and swam towards the surface...

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

Standing on the walls of the Blade Fortress, Cheng Yi quietly watched the busy logistics and transportation teams below.

Although the future of this dimension is still long and not yet settled.

But that's all a matter for the people in this plane of existence.

Online gamers are, from beginning to end, just passersby.

Cheng Yi also felt that it was time for him to leave...

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

Back in his old house, which he hadn't visited in a long time, Cheng Yi took out his phone and glanced at the time and messages.

To his surprise, only two days had passed in the real world, while he had already spent more than a week in the Calipis world.

Although Cheng Yi had already noticed the difference in time flow between the dungeon and the real world when he was running the dungeon before.

However, time flows extremely fast in the instance; roughly one minute in the real world is equivalent to one natural time in the instance.

The difference between 1:60 and 1:7 is considerable.

This might be a significant difference between the real dimension and the virtual copy?

Cheng Yi pondered inwardly.

Making good use of this point might speed up his level-up process?

However, looking at his 310 campaign points, Cheng Yi decided to check out the campaign-limited shop first.

He is not actually inclined to exchange for skills or equipment that increase his combat power.

After all, at the same level, his first hit deals more than enough damage.

Of course, it's also very possible that he simply hasn't encountered a real opponent.

After all, the multiverse is vast and the number of players on the internet is endless; he just hasn't encountered them yet.

Cheng Yi is now more inclined to focus on building a system and its potential.

After all, with the Myriad Forging Furnace in hand, he needed to find some shadow-related materials that matched his talent.

He needs to be fully prepared to integrate his own system and enhance his talents.

Cheng Yi opened the campaign-limited shop.

These are mostly items and materials used in the Calipis plane campaign.

[You have initiated a multi-faceted campaign: War Frenzy Abyss Limited-Time Points Exchange Shop]

[Current available campaign points for this character: 310]

The store's items are categorized as follows:

1. Career factions (598 in total)

2. Faction-related (97 items in total)

3. Comprehensive Network Recommendations (672 items in total)

4. Popular Redemptions (340 items in total)

5. General Goodies (9483 items in total)

...]

The items were dazzling and varied, encompassing almost the essence of an entire plane.

These items are not original objects that actually exist in this dimension, but rather replicas created by the multifaceted power of the network.

However, it is exactly the same in quality and effect as the original.

Cheng Yi wasn't in a hurry; he opened each subpage and slowly began to look through them.

It has a leisurely, carefree feel to it, like a street urchin strolling around...
