Comprehensive Network: The Chosen One Who Started from Speed-farming and Destroying Ashes

Chapter 5 New Season, Beginning? (First Update!)

It seems that you can quickly acquire class resources by accumulating a large number of elite monsters and bosses?
Yi Qingfeng thought to himself.

Of course, he still cannot determine the strength of elite monsters and bosses.

I don't know how much stronger it is than a regular monster...

Without further exploring the new changes on the integrated network panel, Yi Qingfeng went to cook the rice first.

I already had a poor appetite during the day, so I only ate a little bit.

Having just finished a bloody battle, I'm starving.

In Yi Qingfeng's view, dishes can be "made quickly".

But you have to wait patiently for your meal...

After busying myself in the kitchen for half a day, just as I was about to serve rice and enjoy my meal, I was met with despair when I lifted the lid and saw a pool of clear water.

You can probably only truly understand it by experiencing it yourself.

Opening the refrigerator, the abundant stock belonging to a seasoned gamer immediately comes into view:

Yi Qingfeng grabbed some green peppers and bean curd sticks, and also opened a bottle of coconut juice.

As mentioned at the beginning, I haven't been cooking for very long.

The only dish he's truly proficient at is stir-fried green peppers with pork.

As for beans, green vegetables, and the like?
Those were merely embellishments mixed in.

It's kind of like fooling yourself, thinking it's a good way to supplement vitamins and dietary fiber...

I chopped the beans and green peppers rather clumsily.

Calculating the time, Yi Qingfeng suddenly realized that this was probably enough to chop down a goblin once and then back...

The bloody and gruesome scene did not seem to have any significant impact on him.

In terms of emotions, he has always appeared clumsy and detached.

In this old house, separated from the main road by an alley, the world is so quiet that you can hear the faint chirping of birds in the treetops outside the window.

Before acquiring the comprehensive network, Yi Qingfeng lived here all alone.

This is his whole world—of course, the real entrance to that world is in front of that square computer desk…

"Sizzle..."

We've almost finished using up the lard we rendered last week.

Therefore, they made do with vegetable oil.

The exhaust fan, probably older than Yi Qingfeng, struggled to carry the cooking fumes away from the cramped kitchen.

Although the results were minimal...

In this old house, knowing each household's mealtimes has never been difficult.

If you also have the talent for the olfactory dimension in terms of food identification.

The same applies to knowing what's on the table.

This place is right next to Yi Qingfeng's former workplace.

This is also its greatest value to Yi Qingfeng.

He has always been lazy when it comes to work.

The value of being able to sleep an extra hour in the morning far outweighs its simplicity.

In fact, Yi Qingfeng didn't care much about living conditions.

It can be equipped with air conditioners and can be used to install netting.

The overall activity area is not too restrictive.

that's enough.

In fact, it is an old house with two bedrooms and one living room.

For Yi Qingfeng, the actual usable area did not exceed two-thirds.

Of course, we might consider moving to another place later?

As Yi Qingfeng pondered his plans, a large stew made primarily from leftover stir-fried green peppers and pork from lunch was completed.

All sorts of random sauces are truly a godsend for kitchen novices.

With just one spoonful, a pot of what looked like bland, watery soup instantly became more appealing.

Caramelizing sugar?
Go talk to my sauce!

…………

Holding a plate of rice, Yi Qingfeng sat down at his computer desk.

As is customary, it's time to look for some electronic pickled vegetables.

Of course, today, this computer, which I rewarded myself for turning thirty, had the most relaxed workday.

There's no need to worry about clocking in or work arrangements.

Time no longer seemed so crowded.

While enjoying his rather unappetizing dinner, Yi Qingfeng continued to study the integrated network panel.

Even a new mobile phone needs some time to become familiar with.

And this comprehensive network panel, whose reference is unknown, naturally requires more time and effort to develop.

Or:

When there are no instances available, this is all he can do.

Should I turn on my computer and restart the game?

Yi Qingfeng felt that he probably couldn't get into the game anymore.

Perhaps your friends in the game will be quite surprised to find that their friend list has been shrouded in perpetual gloom without warning.

Just like his many experiences in games over the years:
"I'm logging off now, see you tomorrow"—this is often the epitaph of a game character...

Perhaps some of them, like him, have obtained the comprehensive network panel?

Of course, it's more likely that it was a gank from Earth Online.

It was at this moment that Yi Qingfeng made a new discovery:
Ok?
Yi Qingfeng's finger inadvertently drew a dotted line in the air.

Then he saw the brand new panel that had been switched out.

Holy crap! It can switch screens?

Yi Qingfeng's eyes widened instantly.

Then, he saw the newly refreshed network notification on his retina:
"Multiverse Network Notification: Warband connection is restricted (condition not met). Based on the characteristics of your current version, your current basic forum section for the Multiverse Network player exchange is: Basic Apprentice Zone (Combat/Dungeon/Currency Trading/Apprentice Only, Section Code ZG5327...)."

"General Network Notice: Please note: Due to the General Network's player protection regulations, you are temporarily unable to log in to the communication sections with restricted elements such as opposing factions and alien civilizations. You can submit a new section code to change your forum's basic section if you meet the basic requirements."

A forum for communication...?
Yi Qingfeng clicked into the void with great curiosity.

To his surprise:

There's nothing on the board...

Is it stuck?

A phrase brimming with the modern style of an Earth office lady flashed through Yi Qingfeng's mind.

He tried clicking on the board, but it still didn't display.

Yi Qingfeng: ?

While he was researching whether there were other ways to approach this,

Suddenly, he saw the first post:
"[Recruitment Poster] The Seventh Twilight Brigade, Assemble now!"

After the first post appeared, other posts quickly sprang up like mushrooms after rain:

"[Discussion Thread]? Single-player integrated network?"

"[Discussion Thread] It's actually here just in time for the legendary new season of the forum!"

"[Discussion Thread] Damn, it's finally my turn! Network, start!"

"[Trade Post] Looking for a basic enchanted weapon."

…………

…………

Faced with the sudden surge of massive posts, Yi Qingfeng originally intended to read them one by one.

This is his usual practice when starting out in a brand new game.

By communicating through forums, one can often quickly learn and master the basic framework of a game.

Of course, once you're completely familiar with this, you can often only rely on finding the leftovers.

Filter out potentially valuable information from a large number of repetitive and spam posts.

The current situation, however, undoubtedly falls into a completely unfamiliar territory for Yi Qingfeng:
It's endless, there's just no way to finish it...

While browsing the posts, Yi Qingfeng quickly discovered a problem:
He had a strong sense of déjà vu about it.

Although these posters all seemed to be newcomers like him who had just acquired the comprehensive network panel.

However, some of them seem to be veterans with early experience in the international server, returning to the Chinese server like a reboot...

This group doesn't seem to be as unfamiliar with online variety shows as he is.
