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

"Master Zhou, this must be the Blazing Gold ore, right?"

Yang Ling squinted, stopping his movements.

The feel of it was completely different from mining Vermilion Gold ore.

This Blazing Gold ore was extremely hard.

He suspected that if his pickaxe hadn't been upgraded, he really wouldn't have been able to dig it up.

"This is indeed Blazing Gold ore..."

Zhou Zheng stared at Yang Ling. "Director Yang, did you find it through good luck?"

Yang Ling smiled and nodded. "I've always been pretty lucky."

"Alright then. This Blazing Gold ore will probably take about a week to excavate. I'll go get some water and rations."

"No need."

With that, Yang Ling continued mining the Blazing Gold ore.

He went all out, his Strength and Agility Attributes skyrocketing.

Unfortunately, he couldn't use Wind God Vajra Legs while mining.

He couldn't enjoy the double-attribute boost of 50 points.

In that regard, the attribute boost from Martial Arts Techniques still had significant limitations.

If it were an Internal Technique Method, he could circulate it while mining.

Watching Yang Ling's hands blur into afterimages, Zhou Zheng was momentarily stunned.

He didn't go for the rations; he just stood there watching.

Then he visibly saw the Blazing Gold ore being chipped away bit by bit.

"At this speed, I estimate... it'll be done in about an hour?"

Zhou Zheng gasped sharply. He finally understood why this Ironclad Department Director could be assigned by the Fourth Prince to mine ore.

At the same time, as Yang Ling excavated the Blazing Gold ore, he could feel waves of surging, icy coolness pouring into his body.

This coolness instantly dissipated the fatigue in his muscles, the more he chiseled, the more energetic he became!

"It also gives way more Experience Points than Vermilion Gold..."

Yang Ling was secretly amazed. This wasn't just a few times the boost; it was probably hundreds of times the experience increase.

"I definitely didn't come to the wrong place. As long as I stay here, my level is going to skyrocket!"

Yang Ling's heart swelled with excitement.

He didn't know how much time had passed when, just as he chiseled down the last bit of Blazing Gold ore, the system prompted:

'[Congratulations, you have leveled up. You received 1 Free Attribute Point]'

Leveled up!

Yang Ling's eyes lit up. This wasn't just a simple level-up.

This single level took him from 59 to 60!

There would be another treasure chest reward!

'[You are the first expert among the 40 million players in "Divine Realm" to advance to Level 60]'

'[Rewarded with Random Treasure Chest x2]'

40 million players? A flicker of seriousness crossed Yang Ling's eyes.

'[You are the first player among the 40 million players in "Divine Realm" to hold the top spot on the Divine Realm level ranking for a long time]'

'[Obtaining random reward, drawing...]'

'[Congratulations, you have received 700 points of Vital Qi]'

In an instant, Yang Ling felt his entire Vital Qi surging like a rushing river.

On the Status Panel, his Vital Qi soared from 1800 points, instantly reaching 2500 points!

Yang Ling was somewhat stunned. This time, he actually received two types of rewards!

The two chests were within his expectations, but the reward that followed exceeded them!

There was an extra reward for holding the Number One spot for a long time!?

"700 Vital Qi... this reward is no joke..."

He knew very well how difficult it was to acquire Vital Qi. Many players hadn't even reached that step yet.

When they got to the stage of nurturing Vital Qi, they would understand that every single point of Vital Qi improvement required tremendous effort.

"2500 Vital Qi... just 500 points short of the Mid Sixth-Rank Vital Qi standard."

"My current strength is at the top of the Lower Sixth-Rank, but my Vital Qi is probably higher than many Mid Sixth-Rank experts."

Lu Yunchen had told him clearly before that the Vital Qi of many experts didn't match their actual rank.

Among Mid Sixth-Rank experts, not many had Vital Qi that met the standard.

"That was a random reward draw just now..."

"If I can get a similar reward next time, could I draw something else?"

"Like increasing attribute points? Raising Cultivation Technique level? Boosting skill strength? Increasing HP?"

These thoughts flashed through Yang Ling's mind, and then he tossed the two Golden Treasure Chests, which Zhou Zheng couldn't see, into the Treasure Chest Fusion Slot.

"Fuse. Hope this works too."

'[Divine Realm Announcement: Because player Yang Ling has reached Level 60, meeting the standard for opening a Beginner Dungeon, the Beginner Dungeon - Skeleton Cave is now open. Preparation time is one month. Please look forward to it!]'

"Dungeon?"

Yang Ling's eyes lit up slightly. As a professional gold farmer, in every game, the places that produced the most gold were the various dungeons!

"This is a Beginner Dungeon. I wonder about the difficulty and rewards..."

This news wasn't just seen by Yang Ling.

It appeared before the eyes of all 40 million players who had entered the "Divine Realm."

Every single player saw this bolded Divine Realm Announcement.

"Holy crap, holy freaking crap! The dungeon feature is unlocked!?"

"Awesome! We have a way to level up now! I wonder if there are level restrictions or other conditions for entering this dungeon!?"

"The Number One just hit 59 not long ago, and now he's at 60 already, truly badass. Can you take little sister along?"

"Forming a party, forming a party! This is party formation info. Interested parties, PM me. I want to create a team to prepare for entering the Skeleton Cave dungeon! I'm a Level 15 Martial Artist!"

On the Public Channel, messages were scrolling like crazy.

One message cost 10 taels of Fine Silver. The players who could afford to spam messages right now were all experts with some savings.

As for those players who hadn't even become Martial Artists, they could only watch these messages with envy.

They could only passively receive them; they didn't even have the ability to actively send a message.

At the same time, private messages from Zhang Shendao, Lin Caiyi, and the others were frantically flashing before Yang Ling's eyes.

The private messages from 'irrelevant' people he had blocked instantly hit 999.

Yang Ling cleared the red notification dots, but they immediately became 999 again. He ignored them, only replying to the private chats from Lin Caiyi and the others.

'[Lin Caiyi: Brother Yang, I wonder how hard this Skeleton Cave dungeon is. I want to go in with you and take a look.]'

'[Zhang Shendao: Brother Yang, if you're going into the Skeleton Cave dungeon, don't forget your bro!]'

'[Li Shou: Brother Yang, send me your location. Oh, give me your position. I'm coming to find you. My master says my Buddhist Dharma cultivation isn't profound enough and I need to enter the world to train.]'

'[Jiang Tian'ai: Brother Yang, I'm already packing my bags to head to Green Mountain City. Did you miss me?]'

Seeing this, Yang Ling replied to each one. When he saw that Li Shou and Jiang Tian'ai were both coming, he thought for a moment and then asked Zhang Shendao and Lin Caiyi, if they were free, to also gather at Xiangfeng Prefectural Capital.

He really did want to go check out the Skeleton Cave dungeon in a month.

A Beginner Dungeon probably wouldn't have huge, amazing rewards, but it would still allow him to indirectly gain a deeper understanding of the Divine Realm.

After replying to the messages, Yang Ling casually added his Free Attribute Point to Strength, bringing it from 78 to 79.

"Master Zhou, is there enough Blazing Gold here to upgrade all my Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Throwing Daggers to Quenched-Gold Armor-Piercing Flying Daggers?"

"Enough for a hundred daggers."

Zhou Zheng said.

'[Fourth update! Keep those daily power stones coming, brothers!!!]'
