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

"One tael of silver?! He's that rich!?"

Lin Guoliang and the others were stunned.

Looking at the tael of silver in Yang Ling's hand, they subconsciously gulped.

They had to work themselves to the bone, with several people combined, just to scrape together ten wen.

The miners nearby also gulped, their eyes gleaming.

The copper coins they earned daily were basically just spent on food, drink, and necessities.

Even if they managed to save some, they weren't qualified to exchange them for broken silver.

It could be said that in the vast Fire Crystal Rock mine, miners who possessed broken silver were extremely few and far between.

Uncle Wang clicked his tongue in secret, but reacted swiftly, shouting to those miners:

"Alright, we'll give Xiao Yang some face."

"These brats got a beating today, they probably won't dare next time."

Several miners immediately crowded forward, took the tael of silver from Yang Ling's hand, and prepared to go to Supervisor Niu's place to break it up and split it.

Seeing this scene, Ma Hou's face turned pale then flushed.

Yang Ling walked slowly to Officer Chen:

"Let me see the wound."

Officer Chen smiled weakly:

"It's probably nothing serious, thank you, Brother Yang."

Adapting to local customs pretty fast, huh?

Yang Ling smiled, pried open Officer Chen's hand, revealing a thumb-sized gash on his forehead that was bleeding.

He took out a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine and sprinkled it on.

The bleeding stopped immediately.

He glanced at Officer Chen's Status Panel.

Strength was 6 points, quite a bit stronger than an ordinary person, HP was also 60, currently only around 20 points remained.

With this bottle of Golden Sore Medicine, the other person could rest for a few days and his HP would be almost full again.

Chen Xu watched, his scalp tingling. He hadn't realized Officer Chen's injury was so severe. If not treated promptly, the consequences would have been unthinkable!

Suddenly, Officer Chen's expression changed:

"Watch out!"

A gust of wind arrived.

Yang Ling reached back and grabbed the pickaxe.

Ma Hou was slightly startled, instinctively trying to pull the pickaxe back, but it didn't budge at all.

Yang Ling gave a light shake, and the pickaxe fell into his hand.

The nearby miners exchanged glances.

"Impressive skill!"

Officer Chen exclaimed in admiration.

Chen Xu and the others were also somewhat shocked.

That scene had happened extremely fast.

Even they hadn't noticed Ma Hou's sneak attack.

They hadn't expected this Brother Yang to casually neutralize it.

"Yang Ling, you standing up for them breaks the rules here!"

Ma Hou blustered, his voice fierce but his heart weak.

Yang Ling didn't speak, he just stepped forward, grabbed Ma Hou by the neck, and slowly lifted him.

Ma Hou's face turned crimson, his hands and feet flailing desperately.

But Yang Ling remained motionless, his arm not even trembling slightly.

"This strength..."

Not only were the miners dumbfounded, but the watching Mine Guards also exchanged glances, each seeing a trace of gravity in the other's eyes.

One of the Mine Guards murmured to himself:

"Supervisor Niu's guess is probably right, this kid's background isn't simple."

Uncle Wang and the others clearly also hadn't expected that Yang Ling, usually so amiable, possessed such terrifying strength.

"Sp... spare me..."

Ma Hou's hands desperately clawed at the base of Yang Ling's thumb, the whites of his eyes rolling up, his tongue already hanging out unconsciously.

"Xiao Yang, if a life is lost, we'd have to report it to Chief Constable Lin in the city, such a hassle. For my sake, let it go."

Supervisor Niu walked over leisurely.

The miners nearby immediately scattered, looking at him with respectful eyes.

Because Supervisor Niu usually handled people and matters fairly, in the Fire Crystal Rock mine, aside from Supervisor Wu, Supervisor Niu held the highest authority in the miners' hearts.

Yang Ling let go, and Ma Hou immediately slumped to the ground, gasping for air, his gaze towards Yang Ling filled with fear.

"Supervisor Niu, regarding today's matter..."

Yang Ling said thoughtfully.

"The dispute over the mining spot is resolved, you handled it very well."

"As for Ma Hou's sneak attack on you just now, he'll be fined ten jin of Fire Crystal Rock ore."

"From now on, the Fire Crystal Rock ore he turns in must total ten jin before he can get paid again. How about that?"

Supervisor Niu said with a smile.

"I have no objections."

Yang Ling nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Ma Hou's face grew even paler.

Ten jin? How would he eat and drink during that time?

"Alright, everyone disperse now, work is important."

Supervisor Niu waved his hand.

The nearby miners obediently and consciously scattered.

Ma Hou also didn't dare linger, slinking away in a wretched state.

After resolving this matter, Supervisor Niu slowly returned to his seat.

"Brother Yang, that medicine of yours is really good. I feel much better already."

Officer Chen slowly stood up, somewhat pleasantly surprised.

What kind of medicine was this, why was it so effective?

Based on his experience, even if this injury of his wasn't fatal, it would still require ten days to half a month of recuperation.

"The pharmacy over there sells it. Five wen a bottle, Golden Sore Medicine."

Yang Ling said with a light smile.

Five wen a bottle?

That wasn't expensive either.

Chen Xu and Officer Chen thought subconsciously.

Chen Xu quickly cupped his hands:

"Brother Yang, thank you for stepping in today. Otherwise, Brother Chen... and the others would definitely have been in trouble."

"This tael of silver is a loan to you. Pay me back when you have the chance."

Yang Ling said.

Chen Xu was taken aback, then slowly nodded:

"I will definitely pay it back!"

Although one tael of silver was a lot, he believed that given some time, he could absolutely earn it!

"Brother Yang, we're injured too. Could you give us some Golden Sore Medicine?"

Lin Guoliang, supporting Wu Meng, walked over.

"None left."

Yang Ling said casually.

Lin Guoliang was slightly stunned: "Just used up?"

He changed his tone: "Then could you lend me a tael of silver? I'll definitely pay it back."

"No."

Yang Ling said.

Lin Guoliang hadn't expected the other to refuse so decisively. Feeling his face was lost, he couldn't help but let anger seep into his voice:

"You think I won't pay it back? Why do you look down on people like that?"

Yang Ling looked Lin Guoliang up and down.

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Guoliang subconsciously sensed a hint of danger.

The next second, Yang Ling raised his hand and delivered a slap.

Slap—

Lin Guoliang was knocked to the ground, his cheek instantly red and swollen.

His HP visibly dropped a chunk.

"You dare hit someone!"

Wu Meng cried out in shock and anger, kicking at Yang Ling.

Slap—

Yang Ling backhanded another slap.

Wu Meng felt dizzy and disoriented, collapsing to the ground.

The four newcomers, who originally had some thoughts, now all had clear, sober eyes.

"Idiot."

Yang Ling cursed casually, then said to Chen Xu and Officer Chen:

"I probably won't be at the Fire Crystal Rock mine much in the future. You need to follow the rules here. Follow the rules well, don't go into the Mine Shafts, and surviving won't be difficult."

"Brother Yang is leaving?"

Chen Xu was slightly startled.

He wanted to ask for more details, but Yang Ling had already quickly walked away.

It was only after Yang Ling left that Lin Guoliang got back to his feet, hopping mad and cursing.

"Guoliang, stop cursing."

Chen Xu said calmly.

"Chen Xu, didn't you see him hit me?! And hit Mengmeng too!"

Lin Guoliang's veins bulged.

"Officer Chen, let me help you back to rest. For the next few days, don't go down to mine. Rest well and recover."

Chen Xu ignored Lin Guoliang, supporting Officer Chen as they left.

"Fine, Chen Xu, fine, fine. So it's all my fault, is it? What did I do wrong?! I just wanted to earn a few more copper coins for us, to fill our stomachs!"

Lin Guoliang roared.

Chen Xu didn't respond. Officer Chen seemed to have sensed something and also remained silent.
