"Thank you, boss."

"First! Finally, a pro has compiled a version analysis. Newbies are crying!"

Cheng Yi's version of the online game, "Brilliant Story," was prominently featured.

Cheng Yi stroked his chin, browsing the posts with great interest. He hadn't forgotten the story quest he'd triggered before.

After reading through the introductory post, Cheng Yi gained a deeper understanding of his online version of the game.

Story quests are similar to main and side quests in RPGs. But once completed by the player, they become legends, passed down through the multiverse like those sung by bards and performed by storytellers.

Players can earn story points by completing story missions, which can be used to unlock story skill trees based on their own personal experiences.

The widespread popularity of this story and its acceptance by diverse beings will transform into a continuous and universal story experience, providing long-term benefits to those who experienced it.

for example:

You once stood alone at the border checkpoint, single-handedly blocking the charge of a monster horde, defending the city gate without retreating a single step.

This feat was recorded as a story and is constantly told throughout the multiverse.

You will gain story points, which can be used to unlock skills in this part of the story's skill tree;

For example, [Unyielding Iron Wall], [One Man Stands Guard], or [Exterminate All Demons].

Meanwhile, as this story becomes known and admired by more and more creatures around the world, you will continue to receive general story experience from the system.

However, story quests often have limitations. If a story quest triggered in a timed dungeon is not completed before the dungeon refreshes, the quest will automatically fail.

Cheng Yi looked back at the only story quest he had triggered, the "Carriage Mystery," which was triggered during the beginner's trial. What would happen?

He summoned the control panel and brought up the only story quest—[The Carriage Mystery].

The Mystery of the Horse-Drawn Carriage

Type: First stage of the story quest (Newbie Trial)

Description: On the Three Pigs Trail, a wagon used as bait by goblins catches your attention. A few words on a note, a vanished caravan—all these pique your curiosity. Go and uncover the truth, young one! I've left everything there! That is, ONE P…

Requirement: Investigate the truth behind the attack on the caravan.

P.S.: You're... Detective King? ————999+ popular comments on the internet

P.S.: The story quests triggered by the beginner trials have no time limit and continue until the player actively abandons them or completes the event.

There's also a lit icon below.

P.S.: Hehehe, little ones, eat meat, rob, eat meat! ————Wild Klamm Chews Bones】

Cheng Yi glanced at his newly reached level 2 profession and silently closed the quest panel.

Even if I had a dozen of myself, I probably still wouldn't be able to handle this mission. It's all because of that "Challenge Level: 3".

This refers to a difficulty level corresponding to a level 3 adventurer party!

Cheng Yi looked intently at the unlocked [Daily Dungeon].

Daily Dungeon: Web-Weaving Nest

Challenge Level: 1

Dungeon Difficulty: Easy (Unlocks Normal difficulty upon completion; difficulty cap is Elite)

Dungeon completion requirement: Defeat the giant spider in the nest.

Dungeon death penalty: Soul Weakness (lasts 3 calendar day)

The rules for daily dungeons are that you can refresh the dungeon once a day, or you can choose not to refresh it and keep the current dungeon.

The same applies to weekly dungeons, but weekly dungeons will only be unlocked after completing a daily dungeon.

Cheng Yi focused his attention on the daily dungeon and then selected the challenge.

While it's possible to project the image into the air and operate it by hand, it looks a bit silly, and if it becomes a habit and someone sees it, it will cause unnecessary trouble...

The familiar darkness and dizziness, and then—

Cold...shivering (crossed out)...

When Cheng Yi opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dark, damp, and gloomy cave.

Cheng Yi dared not delay, took out the Hand of Glory from his backpack, lit a candle, and observed his surroundings.

The cave walls were covered with sticky, grayish-black spiderwebs, like an impenetrable net that completely enveloped the cave. Touching them with your fingertips left you covered in a cold, slimy slime that made your fingertips tremble with disgust. Tiny water droplets clung to the spider silk hanging from the cave ceiling, occasionally dripping onto the ground with a soft "drip, drip" sound that was particularly clear in the silent cave.

A pungent, fishy stench filled the air, a mixture of dampness, mold, and decay. It assaulted Cheng Yi's nostrils, causing him to wince and instinctively hold his breath. A faint rustling sound reached his ears, like something crawling on a spiderweb. Following the sound, he could only see a blurry black shadow moving back and forth within the web.

Cheng Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant, jet-black spider clinging to its web. Its eight long legs were tightly gripping the silk, and the hairs on its abdomen were rubbing against the web, constantly spinning silk to reinforce it. The sticky silk hung down the rock wall, dripping with glistening mucus, and left a small wet patch on the ground.

This giant spider was larger than he had imagined, almost the size of a car. Its abdomen was round, its hairs were covered in dust, and it was turning its compound eyes in his direction, clearly having spotted him.

Then, it opened its mouthparts.

Without any warning, a strand of spider silk was sprayed out and directly covered Cheng Yi!

Cheng Yi wanted to back away, but unexpectedly, his back hit the cold rock wall.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of spider silk landed squarely on Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi was stuck to the rock wall by the spider silk and couldn't move.

The giant spider had already crawled over, its eight long legs moving rapidly across the wall, making a soft "crunching" sound. Sticky slime dripped from its toes, leaving a trail of wetness on the ground.

It stopped spitting out silk and instead opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, intending to bite down hard on Cheng Yi's neck.

But Cheng Yi showed no panic whatsoever. He collapsed into a shadow and instantly appeared directly above the giant spider.

Taking advantage of the giant spider's stagger as it missed its bite, Cheng Yi swung his sword down, aiming straight for the eight compound eyes that were clustered together!

The blade, gleaming with a dark green light, precisely pierced the giant spider's compound eye. With a soft "snap," black fluid spurted out instantly, staining Cheng Yi's sleeve and carrying a pungent, fishy odor.

It lost its sight, became agitated, and wildly swung its legs, slamming them against the surrounding rock walls, causing rocks to fall and spider webs to be torn to shreds.

Taking advantage of this gap, Cheng Yi flashed and landed steadily behind the giant spider, avoiding its wildly flailing legs—his high agility was on full display at this moment, and he was not affected by the chaotic scene at all.

Without the slightest hesitation, he gripped the kitchen knife tightly and exerted force again, the blade precisely piercing the giant spider's abdomen into a soft spot where there was no hard shell for protection, its most fatal weakness.

Sneak attack!

The slash was swift and ruthless; Cheng Yi's forearm was embedded in the giant spider's body.

The giant spider's struggles weakened instantly, its long legs gradually lost strength, its once taut body slowly went limp, the hairs on its abdomen were soaked with bodily fluids, and finally it stopped moving completely.

You have killed the giant spider and gained 30 general experience points.

Cheng Yi took a breath and put the Hand of Glory back into his backpack. He wiped the sticky liquid splattered on his face with his clean hand and then tore off the remaining spider silk from his body.

With a disgusted flick of his right hand, which was covered in tissue fluid, Cheng Yi's eyes fell on a white treasure chest floating in front of the giant spider's enormous corpse.
