A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

What's this called? It's called using a technique of building suspense before praising!

Cheng Yi looked at the Shadow Realm Core in his hand, feeling quite pleased.

The core of this shadowy entity pulsated silently, subtly resonating with the shadowy power within Cheng Yi's body.

This was also the highest quality and level magical item Cheng Yi had ever seen.

Without a doubt, this shadow core will inevitably become the core for him to use the Myriad Forge to refine his talents.

Cheng Yi carefully put away the Shadow Core and then took out the Fisherman's Fishing Rod, which he had obtained from another Heroic Treasure Chest.

It looks like an ordinary bamboo pole with a white fishing line tied to the end, the end of which falls into the void.

Cheng Yi hesitated for a moment, resisting the urge to cast his line right now, and decided to wait until he entered the instance world before using the fishing rod to fish.

In real-world fishing, you might end up in some serious trouble...

After putting away his fishing rod, Cheng Yi looked at the gradually darkening sky and decided to take a shower to cleanse himself of the dust before going out for a stroll.

After all, he had been missing for two days.

Although staying home for many days aligns with the lifestyle of a typical homebody, Cheng Yi felt it was still necessary to maintain some social activities...

I heard that a huge food night market recently opened in the old town...

Cheng Yi thought to himself as he took a shower.

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

Cheng Yi glanced wearily at the flowing crowd.

He was currently drifting along with the crowd while munching on a plate of pineapple sweet and sour pork.

God knows why night markets sell pineapple-flavored sweet and sour pork.

But the taste was pretty good?

Looking at the seemingly endless stream of people in the distance, Cheng Yi felt that his stealth bonus had been maxed out, and couldn't help but sigh.

That was a mistake; we shouldn't have come on a weekend night.

As the crowd grew larger, Cheng Yi decided to leave the market and head towards the ancient city wall.

Most of the tourists here are local residents who climb the ancient city wall to enjoy the view and cool off.

On one side of the city gate, however, it was bustling with activity.

Cheng Yi leaned against the city wall railing, listening casually.

It seems to be a routine tour by a local theater troupe?

They were singing local opera genres from Iwaki.

Although opera and traditional drama have their own unique characteristics across the country, their development has varied greatly since entering the new era.

The branch of Iwaki has clearly declined; Cheng Yi only vaguely heard a few segments of it on the radio when he was a child.

"...With deep sorrow and lingering affection, the greatest suffering in the world is parting..."

The sound drifted in faintly, lingering and turning, seemingly filled with endless sorrow.

Even Cheng Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Stunning.

Even someone who has absolutely no interest in drama would be amazed by the singing.

Cheng Yi became interested and went down the city wall along the side steps.

He approached the theater, listening to the drifting vocals on the wind.

From the few words spoken, it was clear that this was a classic opera being sung.

The Injustice to Dou E.

Cheng Yi stood on a higher spot on the periphery of the crowd and looked inside.

The figure in white robes shrank inch by inch.

Another figure, dressed as an executioner, is about to draw his sword.

"...Snow in June brings three years of drought, all things clothe me in mourning..."

A surge of emotion, filled with injustice and sorrow, suddenly welled up in Cheng Yi's heart!

Then came a burst of golden light!

[You are affected by the effect: Naturally Alluring. You are currently performing a Charm saving throw...]

Based on your trait: Secondary Legendary Resistance, you have successfully passed this saving throw and are immune to this effect for the next 24 natural hours.

[Network Notice: Death within the main plane is a real death. Please exercise caution in your combat actions...]

As the golden light flowed, Cheng Yi's mind gradually cleared, and he quickly shed the sorrowful emotions he had just felt.

He was startled and instinctively ducked into the shadows beside him, looking down.

There were already quite a few sobs coming from the audience, and almost all of the audience members had red eyes.

On stage, the woman who played Dou E had already disappeared behind the scenes.

Judging from the others' expressions, they clearly didn't intend to continue the performance and were preparing to wrap things up.

Cheng Yi waited a while longer and saw that the audience below had gradually dispersed and there was nothing else going on.

Naturally alluring?

Recalling the prompt from the comprehensive network, Cheng Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

To achieve this, your Charm attribute must be at least 15 points.

A born sorcerer or a bard.

Unfortunately, the main plane is a plane without magic.

Among the countless ordinary beings in this world, there will always be a few extraordinary individuals who stand out from the crowd.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Yi decided to slip into the shadows backstage.

The woman who played Dou E had removed her makeup, revealing a youthful face.

A high school student?

Actually, judging by her appearance alone, she can't be described as particularly stunning, but she is still far above the average person.

She was chatting and laughing with her companions at that moment.

Once Cheng Yi understood her uniqueness, he naturally discovered some special aspects of her.

Her every word and action possesses a unique charm. However, it's subtle and cannot be compared to her stage presence.

Is she restraining herself?

Cheng Yi seemed to be deep in thought. He appeared to be an ordinary person with a certain level of self-awareness and natural charisma.

He scratched his head, left the theater, and headed towards the night market.

Cheng Yi had no intention of getting close to her. Although there must be some hidden reason why a naturally charismatic person was staying in a small, declining theater troupe, that was ultimately someone else's business, and he had no interest in interfering.

Since he hadn't harmed anyone or society, Cheng Yi had actually thought his time to do something righteous was finally coming.

The pineapple-flavored sweet and sour pork I just had was pretty good; Cheng Yi decided to buy another serving on his way back…

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

Bai Qiu suddenly sneezed; she had a feeling that something was watching her just now…

She was a little puzzled, but when she looked around at her familiar companions, the sense of ease dispelled the slight feeling of unease.

She is content with her current situation.

Bai Qiu knew about her specialness from a very young age. Everyone treated her kindly and praised her highly because of her appearance.

And she was naturally discovered by a talent scout and was ready to enter the entertainment industry.

However, her high charm obviously brought a lot of trouble. After opening up due to her charm, Bai Qiu learned about many dirty and filthy thoughts.

She gradually tried to tone down her charm and began to consider retiring. Fortunately, she hadn't signed any contracts yet.

Bai Qiu now feels much more comfortable in the theater troupe run by her father...

However, during the performance just now, it seemed like one of the audience members suddenly disappeared...

Before Bai Qiu could think any further, her father called her to pack her schoolbag.

Damn weekend, how did it go by so fast?

High school student Bai Qiu thought angrily...
