155: Open the Dimensional Cube, Tu Nanyi's Treasure
“Warm reminder: The Level 5 difficulty has reached the maximum tempering time. Please change the pressure level.”
The system prompt from the tempering room sounded in his ears, and the robots that were still doing the ninth set of calisthenics suddenly burrowed underground and disappeared.
“Damn it, how can these robots run away?”
Lin Ling sighed softly and had no choice but to get up and walk out of the tempering room.
He hadn't had a drop of water for a day and a night, and when he was fully immersed in cultivation, he didn't feel hungry or thirsty.
Now that he stopped, the hunger and thirst immediately struck him fiercely.
He did not leave the tempering room but took out the package Jiang Shan Yi had given him.
All kinds of meat and drinks to replenish qi and blood were readily available.
Lin Ling ate while reviewing his cultivation from the past day.
He had stayed inside for more than 20 hours, but the mental power rewarded by the Level 5 pressure stopped being given once it reached 1000.
Now, if he wanted to continue increasing his mental power, he either had to raise or lower the pressure level, or he could only break through Soul Guiding.
At this moment, his mental power had reached a terrifying 3700 points.
Before Six Turns, ordinary Professionals could increase their mental power by about 100 points with each轉職 (job change).
However, after Six Turns, the improvement began to undergo a qualitative change.
Reaching Seven Turns, an increase of 500 points.
Reaching Eight-turn, an increase of 2000 points.
At this moment, Lin Ling's mental power was already comparable to that of an ordinary Eight-turn expert.
As for Nine Revolution experts, who only existed in legends, no one knew how much they could improve.
With 3700 mental power, Lin Ling had basically touched the threshold of an Eight-turn expert's mental power.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Ling contentedly put away the remaining food.
“Old Jiang is truly a good person.”
He glanced in the direction of the exit and couldn't help but praise him.
Just as Lin Ling was eating, Zhang Ziye brought a few teammates to the outside of Lin Ling's tempering room.
They looked at the screen, where the mental power value was still 358, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When they saw “Not Challenged” written next to Lin Ling's challenge difficulty, they laughed even harder, doubling over.
“358?”
Zhang Ziye had never been so happy before.
“Is this the amazing person who swept through the first stage? Hiding in the tempering room and sleeping soundly? Tang Lei, even the worst one among us in this batch has over 500 mental power, right?”
“Brother Zhang, there's no need to pay attention to Lin Ling anymore. He's like a fleeting moment, destined to fade into obscurity.”
“Let's go, let's level up. By the time he wakes up, our levels might even surpass his.”
The few of them laughed and walked away, as if they had already seen Lin Ling looking up at them when he reappeared.
Before long, the joke about Lin Ling's mental power still being in the 300s after four days of tempering spread throughout the entire newcomer circle.
Zhou Mengyan and the others came to the tempering room entrance again. Although they couldn't contact Lin Ling, they firmly believed that when Lin Ling reappeared, he would surely shock everyone.
Inside the tempering room.
“Oh, right, I wonder if the dimensional cube I got from Tu Fei can be opened?”
Lin Ling naturally knew nothing about the outside world. As he spoke, a gradient-colored cube immediately appeared in his hand.
He tried to activate the cube with his mental power, but a prompt immediately popped up in front of him.
“This dimensional cube has a password set. Your mental power is insufficient to forcibly open the dimensional cube.”
“How much mental power is needed to open the dimensional cube?” Lin Ling couldn't help but ask, frowning.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, another system message popped up in front of him.
“To forcibly open the dimensional cube, mental power needs to reach 4000.”
Seeing this prompt, Lin Ling's eyes immediately lit up.
The fatigue on his body was swept away.
“Only 300 short. My mental power can't get rewards from Level 1-4 pressure, so I can only go to Level 6.”
As Lin Ling thought, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
The standard for passing Level 6 pressure was 4000 mental power, which he clearly didn't have enough of.
This meant that once he went in, he would truly have to endure it.
He didn't hesitate, immediately selected Level 6 pressure, and strode into the tempering room.
An overwhelming mental pressure instantly enveloped him.
Large beads of sweat immediately seeped from his body, yet he still stood like a monument in this world.
And the football field-sized space in front of him had long since expanded countless times.
Everywhere he looked, there were densely packed small robots.
Through comparison, Lin Ling initially estimated that the number of these robots had probably reached 200,000.
He once again called upon his mental power and began to control the robots.
He tried to complete the Soul Guiding task again and again.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye.
This was already the fifth day of the semifinals.
“Task completed, experience +1.”
“Congratulations! Your Soul Guiding has been upgraded to Level 6, rewarding mental power +600. Current mental power: 5300.”
“Task: Control 200,000 objects to jump simultaneously.”
Lin Ling looked at the prompt in front of him, did not continue the task, and instead took out the dimensional cube again.
As his mental power probed in, an additional space of up to 100 grids appeared before his eyes.
At the same time, a large number of system prompts popped up in front of him.
“Congratulations! You have obtained Blue Flag Secret Realm Admission Token *1.”
“Congratulations! You have obtained Tianchi Secret Realm Admission Token *1.”
“Congratulations! You have obtained Erhai Secret Realm Admission Token *1.”
“Congratulations! You have obtained East Sea Dungeon Entry Ticket *1.”
“Congratulations! You have obtained Talent Evolution Stone *10.”
“Congratulations! You have obtained Azure Dragon Evolution Fluid (Semi-finished) *1.”

“Congratulations! You have obtained Moonlit Set (Level 120 Divine).”
“Congratulations! You have obtained Flame Prison Set (Level 150 Divine).”
“Congratulations! You have obtained Illusory Dream Set (Level 180 Divine).”
“Congratulations! You have obtained Divine Thought Truffle (Mythical Item) *1.”
