A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Cheng Yi stepped forward and picked up the treasure chest.

Although it's unclear how the drop rate of treasure chests in the game's dungeons is calculated, getting a treasure chest is undoubtedly a pleasant experience.

The dilapidated treasure chest from the giant spider

Origin: Web-weaving Nest (Easy Difficulty)

Quality: White

Treasure chest related keywords: spider

Description: From a hairy spider leg to a vial of potent spider venom, or even a four-legged eel bodysuit, you could find anything spider-related in this treasure chest. Of course, a little luck is required…

Cheng Yi stuffed the treasure chest into his backpack and chose to exit the dungeon.

Although Cheng Yi seemed to be handling the battle with ease and without much exertion, he keenly realized his current weaknesses.

It has good mobility and decent damage. However, its reaction time and accuracy are lacking.

Just now, when Cheng Yi instantly appeared above the giant spider, he was momentarily dazed.

Although he wasn't afraid of heights, even knowing he was about to be suspended in mid-air, Cheng Yi still didn't react immediately. His strike was a beat too slow.

This single strike might be harmless in a fight with wild beasts. But Cheng Yi can't spend his life fighting wild beasts forever!

As for precision.

In fact, Cheng Yi's first strike missed. Fortunately, the giant spider's compound eyes were densely packed and not far apart, which still achieved the effect Cheng Yi wanted.

Once we know our weaknesses, we naturally need to work on addressing them.

Cheng Yi pondered for a moment, then opened his laptop and logged into the Apple Garden forum, which he frequented. He posted a question:

"How can modern people train to improve their neural reaction speed and movement accuracy the fastest?" After thinking for a moment, Cheng Yi added a small note below: PS: Methods from games and novels are also acceptable.

Before long, several guys had already replied.

"Isn't that easy? Play rhythm games with your left hand and fighting games with your right. Guaranteed to work in less than half a month /doge"

"Practice your kiting, bro! You'll make the enemy team call you 'mom'!"

"Complete 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day, and stick to it for three years."

However, there are still a few reliable answers.

"For modern people, martial arts seem more suitable, since there's no need for overwhelming aura or specific chakra requirements. Styles like Tobi's quick sword or Little Li's flying dagger could meet your needs."

"Practicing the Little Li Flying Dagger technique seems reliable; once you master it, you can hit any target you aim at. And most importantly, it's cool!"

"In terms of sheer power, I feel that Little Li's Flying Dagger is inferior to Moon Goddess's Flying Dagger. Little Li's Flying Dagger emphasizes righteousness and intention; without righteousness, it wouldn't be Little Li's Flying Dagger."

After scanning through several replies, Cheng Yi found that, aside from the jokes, the descriptions of "Moon Goddess Flying Knife" and "domineering" were to his liking.

His Observation Haki perfectly suited his current needs.

And martial arts—

Although the young man did not yearn for "Little Li's Divine Blade, unparalleled in the world, whose every strike never misses its mark," Cheng Yi felt that he could not be like Li Xunhuan.

Moreover, Little Li's Flying Dagger requires his full attention and energy. Once the dagger is thrown, he has no energy left to defend against attacks from behind.

Cheng Yi opened the [Multiverse Trading Center], which had been gathering dust due to his lack of funds, and searched for "Moon Goddess Flying Knife" and "Overbearing Aura".

Based on his 300 Comprehensive Network Disaster Coins, Cheng Yi quickly selected the items he needed.

There was also a short sword and a scabbard of willow-leaf throwing knives. The kitchen knife that had accompanied Cheng Yi in battle had several chipped blades and was pitted and bruised from being corroded by the giant spider's bodily fluids, so it was time to replace it.

Hundred-Forged Sword

Type: Short sword

Quality: White

Origin: Iron Clan

Description: A high-quality, durable sword! Excellent value for money!

Price: 10 Crossnet Disaster Coins

P.S.: Chieftain, did our expensive revisions to the item descriptions on the online game really work? ———Aldo Hammer

Adding the 10 Disaster Coins spent on Flying Knife, Cheng Yi's wallet was left with only 30 Disaster Coins in the blink of an eye. He really spent money like water.

Cheng Yi tried opening his inventory and found that seven of the 20 slots were already full. In addition to the four newly purchased items, there was also the Hand of Glory, the Kafton Elixir, and a white treasure chest dropped by the giant spider.

"The Moon Goddess's Flying Dagger" is an old-fashioned thread-bound book with slightly curled, yellowed pages that carry a faint scent of pine soot and ink, along with the aged aroma of time. The cover is undecorated, with only five powerful ancient characters written vertically in thick ink, the strokes sharp as knives, conveying a sense of solemnity at first glance.

The "Basic Perception Method of Observation Haki" was, in Cheng Yi's eyes, a piece of parchment filled with nonsensical scribbles. In short, Cheng Yi pondered those scribbles for a long time, even though he could simply slap the skill book on himself...

Cheng Yi flipped through a few pages of "Moon Goddess Flying Dagger" with great interest, but soon found himself stumped again; he couldn't understand it either. Asking a modern person to comprehend things like the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the circulation of internal energy was simply too much to ask.

The skill book transformed into two beams of light that entered Cheng Yi's brow one after the other. Cheng Yi felt a buzzing in his head as two completely different sensations exploded between his body and mind.

First, a sharp energy flowed from between his brows into his limbs and bones, like a cool current slowly coursing through his meridians. An indescribable, subtle force wrapped around his wrists and arms, and his fingertips inexplicably developed an instinctive tactile sensation—as if he could precisely control the force and angle with just a lift of his hand, even the arc of the wrist flick and the point of force exertion were etched into his muscle memory. And those incomprehensible meridians and internal energy circulation techniques were now all transformed into tangible physical sensations.

Cheng Yi stood with his hands hanging down, feeling a void in his palms. He subconsciously grabbed a throwing knife and threw it, releasing the fierce aura he had been suppressing.

A flash of cold light! A ray of moonlight!

It landed on the wall suddenly and silently!

Moon Goddess Flying Dagger, Level 1: The blade is as bright as moonlight!

Before Cheng Yi could fully appreciate the charm of this strike, a mysterious and pure aura spread out, not on his body, but in his mind.

It was like a blindfold being suddenly ripped off, and everything around me became crystal clear:

The rustling of the sycamore leaves outside the window, the faint sounds of autumn insects nibbling at the grass in the flower bed downstairs, and even the slight vibrations of earthworms burrowing and rubbing against the roots in the soil under the flowerpots on the balcony—all these sensations rushed into my senses, so clear they seemed to be right next to my ears.

The dazed and sluggish feeling he had experienced when he suddenly appeared in mid-air vanished in an instant. Cheng Yi felt his mind was clear, and he could sense every slight movement around him.

You have learned the [Moon Goddess Flying Dagger] (lv1)

You have learned [Observation Haki] (lv1)

Your perception attribute has been improved: from 12 to 13.

You have gained blindness: 15 feet.

Cheng Yi slowly let out a breath. After adapting to his new power, he couldn't wait to open the difficult dungeon...
