Something’s Wrong with This Game — I Became a God by Mining!

"Seventy-three points of Agility. Even though twenty of those come from the Seventh-Rank Qilin Boots' boost, it doesn't hinder my ability to use other martial arts techniques. It's essentially like my base Agility has been raised to seventy-three points."

"Adding in the bonuses from Vajra Bright King Technique, Ethereal Steps, Tiger-Capturing Saber Technique, Heaven's Will Divine Blade, and Jiaogu Saber, my current maximum Agility is..."

"Two hundred and four points!"

"But that's only theoretical. Heaven's Will Divine Blade and Tiger-Capturing Saber Technique conflict, so I can't use them simultaneously."

"Still, this level of Agility should be rare even among Seventh-Rank experts. It's probably already in the Sixth-Rank range. The real issue is that my Strength is too weak."

"If I can get my Strength up to par, my combat power would definitely reach Sixth-Rank standards right now."

Just then, an Ironclad Constable walked in. Seeing Yang Ling standing still as a statue, he called out:

"Chief Constable Yang, the interrogation is finished. The Fourth Prince wants you to come and listen as well."

"Alright, I'll be right there."

A flicker of shock passed through Lin Caiyi's eyes. She instinctively looked several more times to make sure she wasn't seeing things, then silently sucked in a sharp breath:

"How did Brother Yang jump three levels again? Did he eat a Water Bodhi seed?"

Thinking about this, she stared at the Divine Realm Level Ranking once more, her eyes filled with awe.

Yang Ling's Level 40 stood like an insurmountable mountain before them, visible but utterly unreachable.

Li Shou, Zhang Shendao, Jiang Tian'ai, and players from all over the world were silently watching the Divine Realm Level Ranking.

The change on the leaderboard this time truly plunged players everywhere into a massive shock once again.

"This is what it means to be number one!?"

"I thought Lin Caiyi and the others could catch up quickly, but now they're just falling further and further behind."

"This leaderboard is so messed up. Is that kid using cheats or something?! The first place is ten levels ahead of the second! And the last place is a full twenty levels behind the first! That's way too insane!"

"How long has this Yang Ling even been in here? I'm only Level 6, and he's already Level 40. He's a total big shot. Where do I go to find a big shot like him..."

...

Amidst the frozen snowfield, three Rong tribe spies knelt on the ground, their faces pale as death and their eyes filled with terror.

As Seventh-Rank Martial Artists, they had bright futures ahead of them. They really didn't want to die like this.

The Fourth Prince saw Yang Ling walk out and casually asked:

"Are you planning to take the Frost Mushroom out, or...?"

"Your Highness, I've already eaten it."

Yang Ling cupped his fists and smiled.

The Fourth Prince wasn't surprised. When Yang Ling had gotten the Divine Soul Great Restoration Pill last time, he had also consumed it on the spot. It was clear he understood the principle that delays could lead to trouble.

Many of the Ironclad Constables secretly felt a pang of envy in their hearts, and they were also curious about what benefits a three-hundred-year-old Frost Mushroom would bring Yang Ling.

"These three have confessed. Their mission this time also included seizing the Water Bodhi seeds. But as things stand now, it's obvious they won't be able to complete that task."

The Fourth Prince smiled at the three Rong tribe spies:

"Furthermore, they've revealed that the Rong tribe spies who infiltrated this time aren't just their group. There are three groups in total."

"Nangong Yue was just the leader of their squad. Two more teams will be sneaking in one after another."

"Two more teams?"

Yang Ling's heart tightened slightly. But when he thought about how his strength had received a minor boost, he felt a bit more at ease.

"Your Highness, how did they get in?"

He asked curiously.

The Fourth Prince replied: "They submerged and sneaked in from a spot about thirty li from here."

"There are also their accomplices on the Water Transport Guild's boats, responsible for leaving marks along the way to make it easier for them to track."

"As for the Water-Avoiding Pills..."

A hint of coldness flashed in the Fourth Prince's eyes:

"Originally, only our Zhao State had these pills. But it seems the Heavenly Wolf Guard hasn't been idle over the years. Through their own methods, they've managed to collect quite a number of Water-Avoiding Pills, all waiting for this opening of the Water Qilin Cave."

"These Rong tribe spies are far too lawless."

Yang Ling muttered to himself: "They even dare to set their sights on the Water Qilin Cave."

"It's fine. We do the same to them. I reckon the Rong tribe has been driven crazy by us over the years as well."

The Fourth Prince let out a gloating laugh, then turned serious:

"The Water Qilin Cave doesn't give us much time, so we can't bother with those two teams for now. The Water Bodhi seeds remain the only objective of this trip."

With that, he personally executed the three Rong tribe spies.

Then he had everyone rest and reorganize briefly before they continued on their way to the second marked location.

Yang Ling deliberately lagged behind a bit. Yun Ruo noticed this and slowly slowed her pace as well.

The two of them looked like they were checking the rear to make sure no one was following them without their knowledge.

The Fourth Prince glanced at them but said nothing.

"Director Yun Ruo, we already know there are still two teams of Rong tribe spies in the Water Qilin Cave. If we don't actively seek them out, won't the disciples of the various sects be in danger if they encounter them?"

Yang Ling lowered his voice.

A thoughtful look appeared in Yun Ruo's eyes.

About half an hour later, during a break, Yun Ruo brought this matter up with the Fourth Prince.

"What you say makes sense, but our manpower really is insufficient."

The Fourth Prince looked troubled.

"I can go and deliver the message."

Yun Ruo said.

"You? Your strength is certainly not weak, but going alone to deliver the message is far too dangerous."

The Fourth Prince pondered for a moment, then suddenly glanced at Yang Ling and beckoned:

"Yang Ling, come over here."

Yang Ling walked up to the Fourth Prince and cupped his fists in salute.

"Director Yun Ruo hopes we can send someone to inform the various sects to be wary of the Rong tribe spies."

"I think you're the most suitable person among this group. The others might end up in trouble halfway through."

The Fourth Prince asked: "Are you willing to make this trip for me and deliver this message?"

He paused, "I'm short on people, so at most, I can only send you alone."

Yun Ruo was about to say something, but the Fourth Prince smiled ambiguously:

"You want to go with him too? Then how do I ensure my own safety?"

Yun Ruo immediately fell silent.

"Your Highness, I will go and return as quickly as possible."

Yang Ling cupped his fists.

"Alright, be careful on the way. No matter what, your own safety is the most important thing."

"The Heavenly Wolf Guard wants you dead. As long as you don't die, that will be enough to disgust them."

The Fourth Prince smiled and patted Yang Ling on the shoulder.

Yang Ling didn't say much. He immediately bowed and then turned to leave.

His figure quickly disappeared into the vast, snowy wilderness.

Li Huaiyi and the other Ironclad Constables exchanged glances, inwardly complaining bitterly.

If it were them, they probably wouldn't dare to take on this task.

After all, in a place like this, sticking together was the only way to stay safe.

But they could also tell that the Fourth Prince had already recognized this guy's strength, which was why he was allowed to deliver the message alone.

"This guy has already earned the Fourth Prince's praise."

Li Huaiyi muttered to himself:

"In the future, he'll probably become a core member of the Prince's faction..."

Thinking this, his expression turned slightly solemn.
