Chapter 20：Dragon-Li

Yi Qiu looked outside the window. He lived on the 4th floor, around 12 meters high. If he jumped down and his bald head landed on the ground... his body should remain intact.

He touched his bald head and tossed aside all his random thoughts. He took out the Dungeon Card of the Barren Gold Mine.

The Barren Gold Mine Dungeon Card was the same size as a poker card. On the back was a scenery that gave off a luster. On the cover was the full view of Barren Gold Mine: Within the caves that curved and turned like an earthworm, Sadistic Dog-Head Man and its little brothers strolled around.

The scenery moved. When Yi Qiu focused his gaze on it, the cover of the card would describe the situation.

Dungeon Collectible: Barren Gold Mine:

Collectible level: Basic

Dungeon level: 2

Collectible production: Ore, experience, coins

Collectible Dungeon has current resources: 15 Dog-Head Man minions (Challenge level: 1), 1 pangolin (Challenge level 1+), 1 Sadistic Dog-Head Man (Challenge level: 2), Gold Mine (Amount: Little)

Orders:

1. Sacrifice: Sacrifice all the selected beings in the dungeon, obtaining experience based on their challenge level (highest current is 550)

2. Dig: Order the Dog-Head Men to dig the mine for you, current efficiency: 25 ore (random quality and type)/each day

3. Reorganize: Refresh all resources in the dungeon, after 1 natural day one can use it once more

4. Tribute: Order the Dog-Head Men to pay tribute to you, providing Integrated Network Coins based on their level (Current highest 100/day), random chest (Chest level: White-Green)/day

Yi Qiu tried to give the 'Dig' order, a notification appeared on his retina:

"Will you give the order: dig?"

"Yes."

Instantly the Dog-Head Men stopped strolling around, picked up their shovels and started digging. What was worth mentioning was that the Sadistic Dog-Head Man picked up its whip and started to monitor them.

"Dog-Head Men have started digging, current efficiency is 25 ore/day, ore will be sent directly to your inventory. If your inventory does not have space, it will be left in the dungeon. When the dungeon resets, these items will be cleared.

After studying the Barren Gold Mine card, Yi Qiu kept it. His gains from the Elite Barren Gold Mine were unexpectedly huge. Yi Qiu thought back to the pumpkin field that he had not been doing much with.

Due to how the Brown Tooth Boar was really strong against newbies, Yi Qiu didn't like it. Even if he killed it, he would select the Easy difficulty. Now it seemed like if he could complete the last difficulty he should. Although he would gain less if it becomes a card, he wouldn't need to waste time to clear it anymore.

Experience was never enough. DND had many professions that had skills better than class skills. Sometimes they helped to buff the class skills.

In the Integrated Network class system, all professions were listed as extra skills and one needed to use Experience to unlock them.

Not to mention raising Monk level. Yi Qiu was curious. If someone obtained the Wizard class, then how much Experience would one need to unlock spells

Although Wizards were Wizards, Yi Qiu felt that when he reached Epic, he could even try to become a God already. Wizards were strong but they wasted resources.

Yi Qiu found out while reading the newbie manual that a version had at least five people. That was because at Level 10 would unlock a war selection.

As compared to the dungeon, war was a bigger world with many intelligent people in it. 

It was tough for one person to decide a war.

Unless you were already at Epic, even if you were strong, you would be helpless in a war of hundreds of people.

Of course in a brutal war, in a battle between order and chaos of a universe, no matter how many Epics there were, it was useless.

Yi Qiu was really curious, what were the classes of the other four people on earth...?

...

...

...

Some corner of earth. 

"Let's go! Right, this is it!"

"Skin!"

...

Some condominium. 

"Oh my god, so painful, including my little brother!"

"Ak, cannot pierce the leather of a wild boar, oh my god, did Ares transform it?" 

...

Some beach.

"Kaya, what happened? Your complexion looks bad?"

"This model is really hard for me, damn it, my head hurts again!"

"Okay, you are always like this. Little Miss Doctor, do you need sunblock?"

...

...

...

A silent night.

After a day of rest, Yi Qiu felt really energetic. However, the soul weakness debuff was still there for some time.

Yi Qiu was prepared to eat breakfast and then head to train his Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. Although he had one point of free stat, he wouldn't touch it, unless he faced a dungeon he couldn't clear or some life or death danger in real life.

The free stat point in the Integrated Network was really precious. Especially in this version, he had to carefully deal with each stat point he had.

Of course he knew that using it now could quickly raise his combat strength. But, if he could clear the dungeon, then there was no need to use it. It wouldn't give him any extra rewards and would instead affect the Bloodline merger and Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique effects.

Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique added a certain amount of stats each layer, like the first one increased Physique and Strength to 12 points. If your Strength and Physique exceeded 12, then even if you completed the first layer you would not get extra stats.

Bloodline and Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique were the same. Each level of Bloodline had a relative stat upper limit. If you exceeded that, merging with Blood wouldn't do anything.

Breakfast was juicy pork chop. Yi Qiu was prepared to marinate the wolf meat once he returned at noon.

However, when he was prepared to eat, a guest came. Yes, it.

A Dragon-Li cat, those found in Chinese gardens. In local words, it was just a stray cat.

Cats were special animals, especially Dragon-Lis. Dragon-Lis were natural cats, they weren't close to people, and their gazes... Have you heard of how kings looked down on people?

Yi Qiu's building was one of those old ones. Outside his living room was the balcony and between houses the balconies were close, especially since people had racks to dry clothes. Hence, to these cats, it wasn't a problem to jump from one to the other.

This unwelcome guest stared at Yi Qiu with its yellow-green eyes. Yi Qiu guessed that it was attracted by the smell of the juicy pork chops.

"Miao?"
