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

This single slash embodied the very essence of the Dragon-Capturing Saber Technique.

With a dull thud, the White Bone Demon King's tightly clamped left arm fell to the ground.

The cut was perfectly clean, without a single burr.

Yang Ling casually pushed upward.

The blade sank softly into the White Bone Demon King's armpit.

The last weak point dimmed and vanished at that moment.

The White Bone Demon King let out a blood-curdling scream.

[You have successively broken through all twelve weak points of the White Bone Demon King]

[The White Bone Demon King is begging you for mercy]

The White Bone Demon King knelt before Yang Ling:

"Sir, please spare my life!"

"If I choose Yes, will it affect the evaluation outcome?"

Yang Ling pondered this seriously.

He had no grudge against the White Bone Demon King; only the evaluation and rewards could sway his decision.

"Forget it, better to play it safe."

Yang Ling immediately selected No.

The White Bone Demon King let out a miserable howl, glaring at Yang Ling with venom:

"You little worm, I will definitely kill you!"

Beams of golden light pierced out from within its body, and in an instant, the White Bone Demon King turned into a pile of dust.

Surges of surging Experience Points poured madly into Yang Ling's body.

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

Yang Ling was a bit dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, he had jumped from level 70 to level 75.

"This is way too much Experience Points, isn't it?"

At that moment, he noticed Little White stirring as well. It seemed to have received a share of the Experience Points too.

He glanced at Little White:

[Blazing Flame Mantis]

Level: 45

Strength: 125

Agility: 125

Spirit: 30

Special Skills: Gold Seeking, Whirlwind Slash, Blazing Fireball, Soar

"Little White also shot up five levels."

"Is it because this dungeon's party limit is 20 people?"

"Little White and I count as two slots, so does that mean I get the Experience from the other eighteen slots?"

Yang Ling felt this guess was probably correct.

Just dealing with the White Bone Demon King alone hadn't been too difficult.

Its base Experience would have been reasonable for one or two levels.

But gaining five levels straight? That had to be the extra Experience from the dungeon!

"This must be a hidden reward in the dungeon. It's probably to encourage players to go into dungeons often and boost their strength."

"If I had chosen No just now and spared the White Bone Demon King, I wonder if I still would have gotten the Experience reward..."

Yang Ling casually added the 5 Free Attribute Points to Strength.

Base Strength: 89 → 94

"Just six more points, and my Base Strength will reach 100 points without any Boost!"

A hint of joy appeared in Yang Ling's eyes.

Back then, he'd envied Yun Ruo and the others' Base Attributes, but now he had unknowingly far surpassed them.

His current goal was Mingxin.

Mingxin had a Base Strength of 138 and Agility of 144. Yang Ling felt he had a real chance of reaching that level.

[Congratulations! You have successfully slain the White Bone Cavern's final boss, the White Bone Demon King]

[Congratulations! You have completed the beginner dungeon, White Bone Cavern. Evaluation in progress...]

[Mission Evaluation: A+]

[Rewards Gained: 3x White Bone Demon Spirit Pills, Exclusive Skill: Ironclad Fortress, 20 Free Attribute Points, Exclusive Skill: Bone-Splitting Strike, 20x Foundation Consolidation Pills, 30x Spirit Nurturing Pills]

"Whoa—"

[Choose ONE of the above rewards]

"Whoa—"

Yang Ling stared intently at the last line of the system notification.

"I can only choose one?"

A faint sense of loss crept into his heart.

He felt like he was taking a loss.

"First, let's eliminate the Foundation Consolidation Pills and Spirit Nurturing Pills. And Bone-Splitting Strike? How good could a Skeleton Warrior's skill be?"

"The White Bone Daoist's Lesser Flying Sword Art isn't on the reward list. That's a bit of a shame."

Next, Yang Ling focused on the remaining rewards:

[3x White Bone Demon Spirit Pills]

[Exclusive Skill: Ironclad Fortress]

[20 Free Attribute Points]

"Three White Bone Demon Spirit Pills means 15,000 Experience for the Divine Ape Contemplation Diagram, and I don't even need to spend time refining them."

"The White Bone Demon King's exclusive skill, Ironclad Fortress... this can be used together with Vajra Indestructible Body. My defense would reach an incredibly high level."

"20 Free Attribute Points... if I put them all into Strength, my Base Strength would hit 114..."

"How am I supposed to choose this?"

"I want all of them."

Yang Ling was a bit troubled, his gaze wavering over the reward list.

"All three rewards are great, so I can only judge by rarity."

"The White Bone Daoist dropped one White Bone Demon Spirit Pill. Pills are consumables, renewable. Even without the White Bone Demon Spirit Pill, I still have Foundation Consolidation Pills to boost my Divine Ape Contemplation Diagram's Experience..."

"Free Attribute Points... I'll get those from leveling up."

Having worked that out, Yang Ling's eyes landed on [Exclusive Skill: Ironclad Fortress].

"This is the White Bone Demon King's exclusive skill. Its rarity is definitely high."

"If I farm this dungeon again, I might not necessarily get this reward. I had to pick it anyway."

With that thought, Yang Ling confirmed his dungeon reward.

[Ironclad Fortress: All damage reduced by 30%. Duration: 5 minutes]

"It only reduces damage? Wait, all damage... that means it's not just physical damage. No matter what type of damage I take, I can reduce it by 30%?"

"Fire, drowning, poison..."

Yang Ling's eyes lit up.

This skill was great! It made up for his lack of magic resistance!

Vajra Indestructible Body only multiplied defense by 10 times, but it wasn't damage reduction.

This damage reduction meant that as his strength grew in the future, no matter how strong the damage was, as long as it fit the criteria, he could reduce it by 30%!

The later the game, the higher the cost-performance ratio!

"Vajra Indestructible Body, Fire Crocodile Set, Ironclad Fortress..."

With the support of all these skills and equipment, Yang Ling felt he was becoming more and more like a tank.

Luckily, his attack wasn't weak either. If he were a pure tank, he'd only get kited to death.

"I wonder how the Fire Crocodile Set's Physical Damage Reduction and Ironclad Fortress's All Damage Reduction interact..."

"Is it a combined 60%, or does one take priority?"

Yang Ling's mind stirred, and he looked over at Little White in the distance:

"Little White, use Whirlwind Slash on me."

Little White turned into a gale of wind and rushed at Yang Ling.

Yang Ling raised his arm to block.

At the same time, he activated Ironclad Fortress.

Clang, clang, clang—

[Damage Determination: 10]

[All Damage Reduction: 30%]

[Damage: 7]

[Physical Damage Reduction: 30%]

[Final Damage Determination: 4.9]

Yang Ling's HP dropped by 5 points, clearly rounded up by the Divine Realm.

"Ironclad Fortress has higher priority. Its damage reduction is calculated first, then the Fire Crocodile Set's Physical Damage Reduction."

Even though it wasn't a combined 60%, Yang Ling was still very satisfied.

Because it was still over 50%!

"I didn't even use Vajra Indestructible Body just now. If I had, Little White's damage probably wouldn't even be enough to break my defense."

"Which means... a Seventh-Rank Martial Artist poses no threat to me from now on."

"The one I need to watch out for is the upper Sixth-Rank level, like Mingxin."

"Hey, didn't I finish the dungeon? Why hasn't it sent me out?"

Curious, Yang Ling opened his Status Panel and looked at the time slot.

The dungeon timer was still counting down.

"Does this mean... even if I finish the dungeon early, I can still stay for the full 30 days before leaving!?"

Yang Ling was pleasantly surprised. He then secretly decided that next time, he would bring Foundation Consolidation Pills in with him, just ten at a time.

"Even without Foundation Consolidation Pills, with my 200 Spirit points, I have an upper limit of 100 points of Internal Technique Experience per day."

"Over thirty days, that's 3,000 points of Experience. Not bad at all."

"But... it's not as cost-effective as practicing Martial Arts Techniques."

With that in mind, Yang Ling glanced at the giant tilapia in the water, ignored them, and began cultivating Dragon-Capturing Saber Technique, Ethereal Steps, and Wind God Vajra Legs all at once.

He could gain 20 Proficiency points per hour.

And the key was, there was no upper limit!
