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

The wooden hut. Yang Ling began organizing his belongings.

Four Antidote Pills.

Four bottles of Golden Sore Medicine.

Five pieces of Flatbread.

One Steel Pickaxe.

About fifteen taels of silver remaining.

He carried the silver close to his body, hanging a few cloth pouches from his waist to hold the Antidote Pills, Golden Sore Medicine, and Flatbread.

Then he tucked the Steel Pickaxe at his waist and finally walked out of the wooden hut.

"Brother Yang!"

"I finally found you."

"What's the matter?"

Yang Ling's expression shifted slightly.

The other man wouldn't be this anxious just because he was hungry.

"It's Chen... Brother Chen and the others are in trouble!"

Chen Xu said with a bitter smile: "I know Brother Yang can speak a few words in the mine. Can you help them?"

Yang Ling fell silent for a moment, then asked:

"Let's talk while we walk."

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since the other party was willing to help, the matter should be easier to resolve.

On the way, after Chen Xu's brief introduction, Yang Ling roughly understood what had happened.

A mining conflict.

He had seen quite a few of these incidents when he first arrived.

They still occurred from time to time later on.

After all, Fire Crystal Rock represented Copper Coins, represented food, drink, and shelter.

Whoever discovered the Fire Crystal Rock first was the one to mine it; that was the consensus.

But this time, Lin Guoliang and his girlfriend had broken this rule.

These two, along with several other miners, had discovered a piece of Fire Crystal Rock exposed on the surface layer almost simultaneously.

Judging by the size, it was quite substantial.

But if one really wanted to nitpick, the other miners had seen it first.

Lin Guoliang and his girlfriend Wu Meng then incited the four other players to join them in contesting this piece of Fire Crystal Rock.

Finally, the conflict erupted. Most of the miners were upholding the rules.

Naturally, they also stepped in to help, which led to Lin Guoliang and the five others being beaten up by the group.

Their injuries ranged from light to severe. Even the Mine Guards felt they were not in the right and ignored the matter.

In the end, Officer Chen rushed over. To protect Lin Guoliang and the others, he was struck on the head with a pickaxe by a miner in the chaos, causing his head to bleed profusely.

Chen Xu knew he couldn't handle this matter alone. Those miners were furious. Without someone with some face stepping in to speak, it was absolutely impossible to calm them down.

That's why he had come to find him.

"Your friend is called Lin Guoliang, right?"

Yang Ling said.

Chen Xu nodded: "That's right."

"His brain does have some problems. You'd better stay away from him in the future."

Yang Ling warned.

Chen Xu seemed to think of something, a flash of anger passing through his eyes, then slowly nodded:

"Brother Yang, I'll listen to you. After this, I won't pay him any more attention."

Yang Ling felt somewhat gratified.

This kid listened to advice. At least in a place like the Divine Realm, he should be able to live a bit longer.

He glanced at Chen Xu's Status Panel:

Character: Chen Xu

Profession: Miner

Level: 4

Strength: 6

Agility: 3

Spirit: 2

HP: 60

"Level 4? Calculating the time they've been here, it means he's been mining very diligently. Knowing he could level up and increase his Strength attribute, so he didn't slack off."

Yang Ling's thoughts stirred.

By this time, the two of them had already arrived at the mine entrance.

Supervisor Niu was sitting leisurely at the entrance. Spotting Yang Ling and Chen Xu, he lifted an eyelid:

"Yang Ling, are you going to meddle in that troublesome business? Those newcomers didn't follow the rules; they deserve to suffer the consequences.

Suffering is good. They'll remember how to survive in the Fire Crystal Mine in the future."

"Supervisor Niu, I know Lin Guoliang and the others were in the wrong. I'm just afraid it might lead to loss of life. I'll go and talk some sense into them."

Yang Ling stated with a smile.

Only then did Supervisor Niu give a slight nod.

He was just afraid the other party would enrage those miners.

Not far away, miners were gathered in three inner and three outer circles, forming a large crowd.

Many other miners stood nearby watching the excitement, taking the chance to rest.

However, even more miners were working to earn money and didn't want to be distracted.

"You bunch of brats! You've only been here a few days and dare to steal ore!?"

A middle-aged miner pointed at Lin Guoliang and the others, cursing angrily.

Lin Guoliang and his girlfriend wore terrified expressions, looking around anxiously and uneasily.

The other four newcomers were also huddled together, some trembling, some crying.

They all had a bunch of footprints on them, were covered in dust, and had many abrasions and bruises on their faces, clearly having been beaten severely.

Beside them, Officer Chen sat weakly on the ground, one hand pressed against his head.

Blood dripped uncontrollably from between his fingers.

Despite being very weak at the moment, his eyes blurred by blood, he still forced himself to stay alert and spoke in a reasonable tone:

"Brothers, these kids don't know any better. Please be a bit more tolerant. They won't dare do it again."

"Won't dare again? Heh."

A lean and wiry young man holding a blood-stained pickaxe sneered coldly:

"Once there's a first time, there will be a second. If we don't deal with you properly today, you'll dare to do it again next time!"

"Vagrants without even an identity, daring to steal our ore! Who knows where you got the guts from!"

"I say, brothers, let's dig a hole and bury them!"

He began inciting the nearby miners.

Many miners responded.

Seeing this, the Mine Guards exchanged glances but still paid no attention.

At times like this, even if the miners really did bury these guys, they wouldn't intervene.

Otherwise, if they caused a miners' mutiny, they couldn't bear the blame that would follow!

Some miners were already getting restless, looking for a place to dig a pit.

A flash of alarm passed through Officer Chen's eyes.

Only at this moment was he certain that this game world completely disregarded any laws!

Something like murder could be spoken of so casually?

"The higher-ups have already confirmed that players entering the game have entered with their physical bodies."

"If they die here, I'm afraid they really die..."

Thinking of this, Officer Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

He hurriedly said: "That's going too far, that's going too far. Brothers, we'll compensate you with money. There's no need to take a life."

Compensate with money?

The miners' expressions shifted slightly, their faces softening a bit.

But the lean young man immediately sneered:

"If money could solve everything, wouldn't everything be in chaos? Besides, you just arrived, you can't even fill your own bellies. How many Copper Coins could you possibly pay?"

"When Fifth Brother was around, no one dared to contest ore like this. Did things fall into chaos here just because Fifth Brother died unexpectedly?"

His gaze swept around.

Many honest, simple miners didn't dare meet his eyes.

Officer Chen could tell this guy was the key.

He felt secretly anxious and also a bit angry.

Of all people, Lin Guoliang and the others had to provoke someone who seemed like a local bully!

"I'll start with you. You meddle in others' business. I suspect you're the one who told them to steal the ore!"

The lean young man, holding the blood-stained pickaxe, stepped closer and closer to Officer Chen.

"Ma Hou, are you really going to kill someone?"

Suddenly, a cold shout rang out.

"Huh? It's Little Yang?"

"What's he doing here?"

"The one next to him seems to be with these brats."

The nearby miners looked at each other and instinctively made way for Yang Ling.

"Little Yang, these brats stole ore. You'd better not get involved in this."

Uncle Wang, who had been standing not far away watching the excitement, immediately warned upon seeing this.

"Uncle Wang, I know they were in the wrong, but it shouldn't come to taking a life."

Yang Ling said.

"You're here to plead for them? Who do you think you are?"

The lean young man stared fixedly at Yang Ling, a trace of wariness in his eyes.

"This is one tael of silver."

Yang Ling took out a piece of broken silver:

"As their compensation."

One tael of silver!?

That's equivalent to mining ten jin of Fire Crystal Rock!

The miners whose ore had been stolen immediately felt their anger dissipate, instead feeling like they'd been hit by a pie falling from the sky!
