My skill in becoming a god is landmine mastery.

Chapter 2 Men on the Streets of Giant Gorge City

But this incident wasn't just about Elmanra; the most important victim was Yang Yao.

He was standing on a main street, looking blankly at the bustling world around him.

The towering buildings all around and the noisy horns made him think he must be seeing things.

If you're not my sister, where the hell did you send me? Is this still that magical, modern fantasy world?

Has the other world developed so rapidly that they're already driving cars and flying in airplanes?

With that kind of strength, why reincarnate as a hero? The kingdom should just go up and fight the monsters!

But the sign for Tie Niu Beef Noodles on the street made Yang Yao realize that he hadn't come to that magical world; he had clearly returned to his own world.

"Am I dreaming? Was the goddess I just saw just an illusion?"

Yang Yao was somewhat dazed. He reached into his pocket, and the hard texture he felt revealed what was inside.

Yang Yao took it out and his mouth twitched. It wasn't because of anything else, but because the card he had taken out was the adventurer card that Sato Kazuma's world possessed. This made him realize that everything just now was not an illusion.

Damn it! I didn't even join the Adventurers' Guild, so who gave me my adventurer card? Waaaaah, my beautiful, fair-skinned Adventurers' Guild mascot!

Yang Yao carefully examined his adventurer card, which clearly displayed his information.

(Humans' initial maximum value is ten points)

Holding the adventurer card in his hand, Yang Yao had to admit that his attributes were quite good. The highest starting attribute for a human was only ten points, and he had a full nine. The rest were normal, nothing too bad.

If this were another world, given my attributes, even without landmines, leveling up a bit would make defeating a toad a piece of cake.

But now he only has one question: where did all this money come from?

He could understand the language spoken by the pedestrians on the street; it was Mandarin, but when he looked at the street signs—Anhua Road, Huimin Street—he didn't recognize them at all!

Yang Yao scratched his head, then noticed a newsstand not far down the street. Puzzled, he walked over.

There was only an old man inside the kiosk, which Yang Yao found unbelievable. In his mind, weren't newsstands something that had long been outdated?

Yang Yao knocked on the window of the newsstand and called out, "Grandpa, can I read this newspaper?"

The old man inside casually waved his hand, and Yang Yao then picked up the newspapers placed in front of the newsstand. He unfolded them and saw they were mostly ordinary news items, along with some job postings.

But the newspaper's name made Yang Yao's eyes shrink to pinpoints—Juxia City Evening News!

"Juxia City?"

Yang Yao solemnly folded the newspaper and put it back in its original place. He walked to the street corner in front of the newsstand, squatted down, and took out his adventurer card. He couldn't help but want to strangle that miracle god Elmanra! What a rip-off!

This isn't the so-called alternate world that Kazuma went to, but rather the infamous graveyard for transmigrators, the super god academy where powerful beings can fly around freely and ordinary people simply can't survive.

Didn't you promise to send me to a magical world full of beautiful girls? I just complained about you a few times, and this is what you're doing to me?

Yes, there are plenty of beautiful young women in this world, but the magic you're talking about, does blowing up planets all day long count as magic in your eyes?

These aren't the most important things. If my abilities were magic or something similar, I could at least survive the early game by fighting small monsters. But I chose the landmine specialization.

That woman, she lied to him. Does this universe need to have its technological limitations removed? This is clearly a high-level scientific research universe; does it really need someone like me, a landmine specialist, to remove its technological limitations?

What's the use of landmines in this world? Everyone else is flying in the sky!

For some reason, Yang Yao recalled a sentence Elmanra had said:

Those who believe in miracles are themselves as great, as great, as great, as great! Wow! So that's what you meant!

Thinking of this, Yang Yao couldn't help but feel a little frantic, but his intelligence score of 9 immediately calmed him down.

"No, that's not how it's calculated. I'm not without a chance!"

Yang Yao took out his adventurer card and carefully calculated his stats. If the maximum attribute points for an ordinary person were ten, then if his attribute points after leveling up were substantial, it would be more than enough for him to surpass an ordinary person.

Even a low-level super soldier like myself could potentially achieve that. I haven't even considered a divine body; that level of strength is beyond my reach with my current attribute points. But I should be able to become a first or second generation super soldier!

Thinking about it this way, Yang Yao couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. Putting everything else aside, if he managed to survive until Ge Xiaolun saved the world, he should be able to live on.

"Elmanra, you're despicable! You actually tried to deceive and fool a young man like me! You deserve to die!"

Cursing under his breath, Yang Yao put his adventurer card back in his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief. He was already here; that woman wasn't going to take him back.

Now he faces the same fate as Kazuma Sato: no money, no skills, just a complete slacker. And at least Kazuma has a goddess by his side; although she's not the brightest, the two of them earn more money doing manual labor than he does.

I still need to eat, and at the very least, I need to find a job and earn money, just like Hezhen.

Yang Yao, as an intern researcher, certainly possessed knowledge, but he was currently undocumented in this world, without even an ID card. Even if he applied for a job at a lab, without an ID, he would surely be arrested as a spy.

In the end, maybe after the government can't find his household registration, they'll hand him over to that guy Ducao.

Thinking of Dukao, Yang Yao couldn't help but feel a shadow fall over his heart. Although the countries in this world were very similar to China in his own world,

But there was a group of Denos, these aliens who leech off the nation. If they knew about him, people with their personalities would probably...

If he couldn't explain his origins clearly, Dukao would definitely take care of him secretly. No, he wouldn't even need to do it secretly; as a general, killing him openly wouldn't be difficult for him.

For his safety, Yang Yao must not reveal his identity. But he is just an ordinary person now, so he should not attract their attention. He just needs to remember not to cause trouble in front of them!
