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

Yang Ling's jump of four levels this time once again shocked the players who had been keeping a close eye on the Divine Realm Level Ranking.

Deep within the Blazing Gold Mine.

Lin Caiyi had just finished mining a piece of Blazing Gold, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

A cool, refreshing sensation flowed into her body, easing the fatigue that had plagued her weary muscles after days of mining.

"Level 41 now, Strength attribute increased by 1 point."

Lin Caiyi looked down at herself, wondering if it was just her imagination, but her model-like figure seemed to have improved just a little more.

"Back outside, I could only be a second-tier model. With my figure now, I should be able to make it as a first-tier model."

"Ssssh, holy crap!"

"Brother Yang is at level 80 now!"

The Blazing Gold Mine shaft suddenly erupted in noise.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and hurriedly pulled up the Divine Realm Level Ranking.

Lin Caiyi was stunned for a moment before quickly opening the ranking to take a look.

The first thing that caught her eye was Yang Ling's level 80!

"I'm only level 41, and he's at level 80!? He jumped another 4 levels!?"

"How the hell did he manage that?"

Lin Caiyi couldn't help but curse under her breath.

"I leveled up too! I get it—it's the credit from the Capital being rewarded!"

Qin Mo sounded excited.

"I leveled up as well."

"Me too."

Wu Xiaochen and Chen Xu also leveled up, receiving a massive chunk of experience.

Zhang Yan was thrilled—she had leveled up too.

"Because I'm a Constable, this credit also counts for me..."

Thinking this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel grateful toward her former online boyfriend.

She had finally gotten a taste of riding on his coattails.

Learning that a large group of people had gained a huge credit following Yang Ling, and were now receiving massive experience, jumping a full level, the players from the Limitless Sect, the Angry River Sect, and the Divine Fist Sect could only feel envy.

They began scheming in their minds. Even though they had already completed their class changes, they could still join the Ironclad Department and pick up a new profession.

"Hey, Model Lin, I think we're never catching up to Brother Yang."

Jiang Tian'ai sidled up to her.

Lin Caiyi nodded unconsciously.

Jiang Tian'ai suddenly smiled. "But I can catch up to you. You'd better watch out—I'm aiming to be number two on the ranking. That's the only way to get closer to him."

"Based on you?"

Lin Caiyi snapped back to reality, shot Jiang Tian'ai a sidelong glance, and then continued swinging her pickaxe.

She couldn't let this little girl catch up; she'd definitely use it as an excuse to mock her.

...

In the azure space, Yang Ling was a bit surprised this time. The Devour Heaven Palace dungeon hadn't given him the option to choose teammates.

"Probably a solo dungeon, no party allowed?"

As he thought this, a piece of information appeared before Yang Ling:

[Dungeon Overview: The Devour Heaven Palace is struggling under the siege from the Arhat Temple and the Extreme Flame Sword Manor. You will become the chief disciple of Qingyun Mountain at the Devour Heaven Palace, leading your junior brothers and junior sisters in a raid against the Arhat Temple, with the goal of beheading the Arhat Temple Elder, Jiu Xingkong.]

[Mission Evaluation: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F]

[This dungeon temporarily removes all equipment attributes and skills.]

[Dungeon time limit: 30 days. Time flow inside is completely isolated from the outside.]

"Remove all equipment attributes and skills?"

A look of gravity crept into Yang Ling's eyes.

He wouldn't be able to enjoy the 60-point Strength boost and 20-point Agility boost from the Fire Crocodile Set?

The 50-point Strength from the Centenary Refined Kylin Pickaxe would be useless too?

And the skills provided by this equipment, like Fireball, would all be temporarily sealed?

"My own exclusive skills should still be usable, including the skills from Martial Arts Techniques."

"Flame Immunity, Ironclad Fortress, Two-Times Critical Hit, and skills like Ice Blade and Fire Blade shouldn't be affected, right?"

Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, then focused his attention back on the dungeon overview.

The appearance of the Arhat Temple and the Extreme Flame Sword Manor caught him off guard.

"Director Yun said the Devour Heaven Palace was wiped out at the beginning of the Zhao State's founding. The time period of this dungeon is probably before the Zhao State was even established."

"The Arhat Temple and Extreme Flame Sword Manor likely weren't first-rate sects back then. Otherwise, a mere second-rate sect like the Devour Heaven Palace wouldn't have needed to face both behemoths at once..."

[Player Yang Ling, cultivation level assessment: Lower Sixth-Rank]

[Comprehensive combat power assessment: Mid Sixth-Rank]

[Combat power evaluation complete. Dungeon difficulty: C+]

[Loading dungeon...]

"Without the attribute and skill boosts from equipment, the game assesses my cultivation level as Lower Sixth-Rank."

"But my comprehensive combat power is assessed as Mid Sixth-Rank..."

"My Vital Qi is 2,000 points higher than a typical Lower Sixth-Rank, and most of my Internal Technique Methods and Martial Arts Techniques are first-rate, with extremely high attribute boosts. This assessment makes sense."

"But why is the dungeon difficulty still assessed as C+?"

Seeing the first two pieces of information, Yang Ling had felt somewhat relieved.

Even though he couldn't fully leverage the true power of his equipment, at least the game had downgraded his strength assessment by one tier.

He thought that with his current strength, the dungeon difficulty should have been C, corresponding to Mid Sixth-Rank.

Yet the dungeon difficulty was still assessed as C+.

"Wait, could it be linked to my Spirit? Even though its impact on dungeon difficulty isn't huge, it still factors into the evaluation criteria?"

The realization hit Yang Ling instantly, and he felt a bit of relief.

His Spirit was a full 200 points. If the weighting was high enough, he might have faced a B-rank dungeon instead...

With that thought, Yang Ling found himself in a small courtyard.

Standing before him were ten figures, all staring intently at him, their expressions stern.

[Entering the Devour Heaven Palace dungeon. Timing begins now.]

Yang Ling remained impassive, scanning their attribute panels.

All were Seventh-Rank experts, ranging from Lower Seventh-Rank to Upper Seventh-Rank.

"Senior Brother Yang, that bald bastard Jiu Xingkong is currently attending the full moon banquet for King Subei's son with over a dozen of his disciples. This is the perfect opportunity for our assassination. Please give the order, Senior Brother Yang!"

A young man in his thirties spoke slowly.

"Senior Brother Yang, we've been waiting here for seven whole days. If we don't act now, we'll miss the best opportunity!"

Another woman with a pretty face spoke solemnly:

"As long as we kill Jiu Xingkong, your position as the chief disciple of Qingyun Mountain will be secure. Once we return to the Devour Heaven Palace, you might even compete for the position of the sect leader's direct disciple!"

Yang Ling whipped his head toward the woman:

[Dungeon Overview: The Devour Heaven Palace is struggling under the siege from the Arhat Temple and the Extreme Flame Sword Manor. You will become the Chief Disciple of Qingyun Mountain of the Devour Heaven Palace, leading your junior brothers and junior sisters in a raid against the Arhat Temple, with the goal of beheading the Arhat Temple Elder, Jiu Xingkong.]

The woman was momentarily taken aback, her tone losing its confidence, her expression turning uneasy:

"Senior Brother Yang, all of us junior brothers and junior sisters support your bid for the position of the sect leader's direct disciple.

Only then can Qingyun Mountain change its fate.

Otherwise, in a few more years, Qingyun Mountain will surely be devoured clean by the other peaks, leaving nothing behind."

Isn't this convenient? Yang Ling felt a surge of intense interest in this dungeon.

Setting aside the clear rewards, if he could secure the position of the Devour Heaven Palace sect leader's direct disciple, he would be able to equip the Swallowing Heaven Golden Sword.

That was an Upper Sixth-Rank Divine Armament with dual attributes boosting a total of 150 points! And it came with a skill that required 3,000 points of Vital Qi to activate: Blade Storm!

"Let me test you. If I want to become the sect leader's direct disciple, what obstacles will I face?"

Yang Ling spoke again.

Senior Brother is testing us?

Everyone present exchanged bewildered looks.
