My skill in becoming a god is landmine mastery.

"Hmm, where is this?"

As soon as Yang Yao opened his eyes after waking up from his deep sleep, he found himself in a dark space and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Hey, kid, you're dead, remember?"

A lively female voice came from ahead. Yang Yao looked up and saw a beautiful young woman sitting on a stone chair in front of him, staring at him with a pair of silver, jewel-like eyes.

The girl was very beautiful, but Yang Yao had no time to appreciate her beauty at that moment.

"I'm dead? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Yang Yao suddenly began to question the meaning of life. How did he die? He was only twenty years old. Was it really that sudden?

At that moment, memories of his past life flashed through his mind. He was a top student who graduated from a prestigious university, completing his entire university studies at the young age of twenty, and had just entered the National Academy of Sciences, becoming a proud new scientist within the academy.

Just as he was riding high on his success, ready to see all the wonders of Chang'an in a single day, an accident occurred at his colleague's place. Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide accidentally exploded, taking him and his colleague with him in the flames.

Thinking of this, Yang Yao's face turned black. Damn it, who hired this guy? He got himself killed playing with methyl ethyl ketone? You must have gotten in through connections!

"Oh dear, it seems you've remembered!" The girl smiled at Yang Yao, her tone slightly teasing.

Yang Yao nodded speechlessly. What else could he say? It was all his bad luck. Although he wasn't afraid of death, this kind of humiliating way of dying was really unbearable for him.

"So, where is this place?"

Yang Yao calmly asked the girl.

"This is the place that takes over souls, young man. Aren't you very unwilling? You haven't even had a chance to realize your ambitions in your prime, and it's all gone just like that. Aren't you so angry that you're grinding your teeth and stomping your feet?"

The girl was very beautiful; Yang Yao couldn't believe he'd ever seen such a pretty girl. But you can't keep rubbing salt into my wounds, can you?

"What else can I do? He's already dead. Do you expect me to come back to life and slap my colleague?"

Yang Yao rolled his eyes at the girl. He was definitely angry, but dead is dead, and he knew that the dead cannot be brought back to life.

But he never imagined that humans truly possess a soul. He was a staunch atheist,

"Haha, that's not possible, but I can give you a choice: either your soul is reborn into a new family and starts anew, like everyone else's,"

"Or, go to another world, defeat the Demon King, and save the world. That way, you'll still be you, you'll retain your current consciousness, and you might even become the world's savior!"

The girl held up her finger, giving Yang Yao two choices.

But the more Yang Yao listened, the more something seemed off. Putting aside whether the choice seemed like empty promises, the plot felt so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Damn, isn't this exactly what Kazuma encountered in Konosuba? Except he encountered Aqua, while I encountered this goddess I've never seen before!

"Are you a goddess?" Yang Yao asked curiously.

The girl smiled upon hearing this, stood up from the stone chair, opened her arms wide, and proudly said:

"That's right, I am Elmanra, the Goddess of Miracles. Young man, believe in me, and I will grant you miracles!"

Yang Yao just looked at Elmanra strangely, "God of Miracles? I am Chinese. Even if someone were to guide me, it should at least be the Black and White Impermanence. Do you know that you, a foreign god, have overstepped your bounds?"

These words immediately froze the girl in place, cold sweat beading on her face. Indeed, according to the rules, her actions could be considered a transgression.

But she had no choice; she had no followers in the foreign pantheons and couldn't possibly outmaneuver the other deities. This drove her to take the risk and come to China to snatch people away.

Elmanra couldn't help but think to herself: Damn it, how does this person know so much? Who leaked the information?

"Ahem, what are you saying? I don't understand at all!" The girl pouted and whistled, her eyes darting around and refusing to look at Yang Yao.

It's fake, it must be fake. Even if Yang Yao were stupid, he couldn't possibly believe it. You spoke so weakly, how could he not see through your clumsy lie, girl? I didn't expect that he just said it casually, and I actually guessed the truth.

But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Yao realized that if he were taken away by the Black and White Impermanence, he would inevitably be reincarnated as a human. However, the goddess's suggestion of going to another world to fight the Demon King didn't seem so bad.

After all, he had studied diligently for over a decade without achieving anything, which left Yang Yao feeling quite speechless. Having this girl send him to another world wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Imagine living a real life, surrounded by beautiful teammates—that kind of life would be amazing! Then look at myself, twenty years have passed, and I still don't have a girlfriend.

He has to go, not for any other reason than to prove himself!

“Okay, I’m going to another world!” Yang Yao said confidently.

Elmanla looked at Yang Yao with surprise and delight: "Really? Haha, I knew it! What's so great about reincarnation? It's better to continue living in another world. You're such a clever little devil!"

I thought this deal was a lost cause, but unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, a new path opened up, and this deal actually went through!

"So, if I were to go to another world, what kind of cheat codes could you give me? After all, my mission is to defeat the Demon King, right?"

Yang Yao hadn't forgotten that if they were going to another world, the goddess would at least give them a power-up, otherwise they'd just become nobody there.

Wait a minute, why don't I follow Kazuma's example and choose to bring a goddess with me to live with? Looking closely, this goddess is very beautiful, even more beautiful than Aqua. Bringing her along would definitely not be a bad thing for me.

Sensing Yang Yao's gaze, Elmanra crossed her arms over her chest, looking at him warily.

"It does have the ability to make things convenient, but choosing a goddess is absolutely forbidden. This is a rule of the divine realm. Someone once took a goddess to another world, which caused a lot of trouble for the divine realm, so it is absolutely not allowed now!"

Elmanra was, after all, a goddess; how could she not understand what Yang Yao was thinking? A predecessor had been chosen by her and taken to another world.

As a result, the divine realm not only lost a goddess, but also encountered a lot of trouble. It seems that this goddess did many shameful things afterward, although she was largely unaware of them.

But none of that is the most important thing. The most important thing is that Elmanra heard that the senior could only live in a stable and eat chaff and wild vegetables if he followed that person. Just thinking about it was terrifying. Elmanra would never go!

This also deeply disappointed Yang Yao. However, he was probably referring to Kazuma and Aqua as goddesses.

Haha, resurrecting repeatedly, running wild as you please, as long as there's still a bone left, you can't die at all. Just thinking about it makes me feel like it's causing a lot of trouble for the operation of the divine realm. This is the real cheat code!

"Okay, what abilities can you give me?"

Seeing this, Yang Yao didn't ask for anything more. Having one ability meant he could still live well in another world. Just look at Yu Jian; he still had two girls by his side.

"Don't worry, young man, I am the God of Miracles. Haven't you heard the saying that those who believe in miracles are themselves as great as miracles? I'll definitely arrange everything perfectly for you!"

The girl handed Yang Yao a bunch of cards. "Come on, choose whichever you like!"

Elmangra said with a beaming smile, "After being a goddess for so many years, I've never given away a single card. Yang Yao is the first one!" How could the girl not be excited?

Yang Yao took the stack of cards and carefully selected those that matched his abilities.

"Wait, I remember there was a skill that allowed me to create whatever I wanted just by imagining it. Which one was that ability? I want that one!"

Yang Yao suddenly thought of the scientist who created the Crimson Demon Clan. Just think of that amazing ability of his, that he could definitely take down the Demon King in another world with his imagination!

"That one? It's been banned. Apparently, it caused a lot of harm to that world. You should choose something else!"

Well, it seems I died too late. All the good abilities have been chosen by others. Yang Yao can only obediently choose the cards in his hand!

The Demon Sword? It doesn't work. What if someone steals it?

A magic bow? That won't work either!

Magic proficiency? That's an option, I'll consider it. Becoming a noble magician doesn't seem so bad.

When Yang Yao saw the next card, he was immediately puzzled.

Landmine mastery? Isn't that a bit strange? Can you really defeat the Demon King with landmines?

Holding the card, Yang Yao asked the girl, "Is this ability for real? How can there be such an abstract ability?"

"What ability? Let me see... Oh, this one, I forgot. These were all obtained from the temple, and they're all pretty good. I think it's the ability to create all sorts of landmines."

You know, some worlds have very strict restrictions on these things. Even if you know how to build them, you absolutely can't create modern technological items without this ability. This ability can make many kinds of landmines; I've heard they're quite fun.”

Yang Yao nodded knowingly. Should I know about this? I'm not a god. But looking at these cards again, they don't seem so bad.

As a top student, he could easily make landmines with a little research, but what the girl said made Yang Yao realize that there are some things you really can't do without.

After thinking about it, I realized I didn't need to get involved in dealing with the Demon King; as long as I could make a living, that was enough. In other words, all I needed to do was fight monsters and earn some gold coins.

Yang Yao thought these landmines were perfect for him; the key was safety. Once the landmines were planted, he could just wait for the monsters to come and deliver themselves.

Yang Yao thought about it more and more and felt that this ability was good, safe, reliable, and highly profitable! It was suitable for a graduate student like himself who was physically weak.

"Alright, I'll choose this one. Send me to another world!" Yang Yao immediately decided to choose this ability.

"You chose this one, right? Haha, good, come on, stand in the middle of the magic circle, and I'll send you to another world!"

The girl laughed happily, as if she had found millions.

Yang Yao stared speechlessly at the girl. Someone like her could become a goddess? Is there no one left in the divine realm?

Forget it, I'll never see this goddess again anyway, why think about it? Yang Yao stood in the center of the magic circle drawn on the ground.

Elmanra clasped her hands to her chest, muttering something, and the entire magic circle suddenly lit up with a blue light, enveloping Yang Yao and slowly lifting him into the sky.

"Goodbye, Yang Yao. I hope your journey in this other world will be wonderful!" Elmanra waved to Yang Yao and also offered him her blessings.

Seeing this, Yang Yao waved to the girl and disappeared into the dark space.

The girl proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "Oh my, this goddess has finally seen someone off! Haha, if one comes, there will be a second. I will definitely become a goddess admired by everyone!"

Elmanra sat back down on her divine throne, then suddenly exclaimed, "Huh? Why is there another magic circle here?"

The girl asked in confusion, but the next second, her eyes widened slightly.

"Hey! This is the magic circle that teleports you to another world. The one Yang Yao was sitting on before was just a random drawing I made for fun. Could that have been activated?"

But before the girl could think of a solution, a giant whip tore through the space, and the Black and White Impermanence used the whip to force Elmanra to the ground.

"Old Xie, it was this foreign goddess who trespassed into China without permission, and damn it, she stole one of my souls!"

"It's all your fault, Lao Fan, for walking so slowly. Now look what's happened, how are we going to explain this to the judge?"

"Stop talking. Take this foreign god back and let those foreign gods come and give us an explanation. Hmph, little god, you're pretty arrogant, daring to come to China and steal our food?"

Elmanra was so frightened she almost cried. "You two great gods, please give me some face!"

"Face my ass! You've broken the law, do you know that? Come with us!"

Xie Bi'an immediately pulled Elmangra down into the underground, leaving only Elmangra's echo in this space.

"Sack of sacks! Call the gods to come and rescue me!!"
