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

"Summon Spirit Pet? Is it what I think it is?"

Yang Ling looked at Little White with a peculiar expression.

The skill granted by the Divine Realm shouldn't have spatial or distance restrictions, right?

"Director Yang, if there's nothing else, I'll go up and rest now."

Zhou Zheng spoke, an undeniable trace of fatigue appearing on his face.

Yang Ling's mind stirred. Zhou Zheng had been working quite diligently during this period—forging the Fire Crocodile Set, upgrading the Quenched-Gold Armor-Piercing Flying Daggers, and even helping Little White with a Quenched-Gold enhancement.

"Master Zhou, go up and rest first. You've worked hard during this time."

Yang Ling cupped his hands in a respectful bow.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

He had been afraid earlier that, because he was atoning for his crimes, the other party would work him like a donkey. But now, his heart settled a few degrees. This Director Yang was still very polite to others, nothing like Director Zhao's arrogance and domineering attitude.

After Zhou Zheng left, Yang Ling was ready to test his new exclusive skill.

"Little White, just stand here and don't move, okay?"

Then Yang Ling put away the rather eye-catching Fire Crocodile Helmet and also left the Blazing Gold Mine.

He found a secluded spot along the way, made sure no eyes were watching him, and then activated his exclusive skill: Summon Spirit Pet.

The next moment, Little White turned into a streak of golden light and vanished on the spot.

Immediately after, golden light wove together around Yang Ling, quickly solidifying into Little White's form.

"Sure enough... this has a bit of a teleportation feel to it."

Yang Ling's heart tightened slightly as he immediately observed Little White's condition.

Little White also seemed a bit curious, but wasn't startled or showing any signs of discomfort.

"With this skill, I can summon Little White anytime, anywhere."

"I can summon once a day."

"This number seems sufficient."

Thinking of this, Yang Ling's gaze fell on Little White's mantis arms.

He reached his hand toward the flames on them.

Before even touching them, he felt a sharp, stinging pain.

This fire was very hot!

"Little White's mantis arms are now sharper than swords and blades, harder than the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe."

"With this layer of blazing flame enhancement."

"If he unleashes Whirlwind Slash, even a typical Upper Seventh-Rank Expert probably couldn't withstand it."

Yang Ling felt a surge of excitement. Then he planned to test the final ability.

This was what he cared about most!

"Little White, Little White, if you feel tired later, make sure to land in advance. Don't drop me, alright?"

Yang Ling patted Little White's head, then swung himself over and sat on its back.

"Little White, Soar!"

Little White received the command and immediately flapped its wings to soar into the sky.

In just three or four seconds, it reached a speed of about a hundred kilometers per hour.

If Yang Ling's stats weren't strong enough, his reactions fast enough, and his control over power had reached Micro-Management, he would have been thrown off instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ling found himself high up in the sky.

Everything below was growing tiny.

The fierce wind howled, blowing against his face.

But Yang Ling felt no discomfort.

His stats were already far beyond those of a normal person.

An ordinary person might feel some terror at this height, or feel cold.

But apart from a spike of adrenaline at the moment of takeoff, he calmed down the very next second.

"Little White, circle around here a few times. Let me see your stamina."

Yang Ling said.

Little White was also very excited. It had never flown this high before.

It flew around this area continuously, round after round.

It even flew over the Tianyuan River tributary they had crossed on their way here.

From a distance, he could see the dense clusters of buildings in Xiangfeng Prefectural Capital, and the people on the streets who had become as small as ants.

During this time, Yang Ling also tested Little White's maximum speed.

Although it only had 120 Agility points, the performance in the sky was completely different from that on the ground.

"The speed is comparable to my two hundred-plus Agility points."

Yang Ling sighed with some emotion. This speed was completely sufficient.

In the sky, it could fly in a straight line. From now on, going from Xiangfeng Prefectural Capital back to Changhe Prefectural Capital would probably take only about an hour.

Going from Changhe Prefectural Capital to Yunwen Provincial Capital wouldn't require half a month on horseback anymore; half a day would be more than enough.

"No wonder Zhao Xun came and went so easily. This is like having my own private plane in ancient times—ready to take off anytime, no refueling needed."

Yang Ling secretly rejoiced.

An hour later, Little White landed near the Blazing Gold Mine.

It conveyed a feeling of hunger to him.

Yang Ling let it go find food in the mountains by itself.

He had observed the surroundings; there was absolutely nothing that could threaten Little White.

If Little White encountered any danger, he could also sense it.

Yang Ling returned to the entrance of the Blazing Gold Mine.

Zhao Qing and Qian Dalong were already standing there at some point, idly chatting about this and that.

"Yang Ling, that Zhou Zheng has already gone to the village to snore like thunder. Is this your attitude toward dealing with the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile?"

"There are only two or three days left before our betting deadline arrives."

Zhao Qing chuckled: "Why don't you just give me a definite answer? Can you do it or not?"

"If you can't, get the hell out quickly and stop wasting everyone's time here."

"Elder Qian and Abbot Juewang's injuries have recovered by about seventy to eighty percent."

"They plan to go down the mine shaft again to figure out the true strength and weaknesses of that Fire Vein Poison Crocodile."

The Sect Masters of the Angry River Sect and the Divine Fist Sect chimed in at that moment.

The Sect Master of the Angry River Sect laughed:

"Director Yang, the basic infrastructure here is almost complete. As soon as the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile is dealt with, mining can resume."

"Don't waste everyone's time, please."

"If you can't solve it alone, why don't we all think of a way together?"

The Sect Master of the Divine Fist Sect gave a half-smile:

"Director Yang, if you need any help, the Divine Fist Sect will also cooperate with you here."

Mian Zhengdong remained silent.

"Alright then. How about I go one-on-one with the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile, and you come along to back me up?"

Yang Ling looked at the Divine Fist Sect Master.

The smile on the Divine Fist Sect Master's face stiffened slightly. He gave an awkward laugh:

"That's a Sixth-Rank mutant beast. I'm merely Seventh-Rank—how could I possibly contend with it?"

"Oh? Are you afraid of death? If you're scared of dying, shut your mouth."

Yang Ling snapped: "You're old and gray, yet still so full of chatter. Do you really think I'm doomed to lose?"

The Divine Fist Sect Master's expression flickered between anger and embarrassment, but he didn't dare utter another word, afraid of being dragged down into the mine to die together.

Zhao Qing suddenly laughed:

"I've received word. The special envoy sent by His Majesty is about to arrive at the Blazing Gold Mine."

"Director Yang, this special envoy's status is no ordinary matter. If you don't dare to deal with the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile, you'd better state it as soon as possible."

"Wasting this special envoy's time might cost you even your position as Director of the First Division, Public Security Department, Changhe Prefectural Capital Ironclad Department."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Xu Wuji walked over slowly, his gaze fixed seriously on Zhao Qing:

"Director Zhao, His Majesty sent a special envoy here? This servant had no knowledge of this."

"Xu Wuji, a eunuch like you still wants to know the details of this official's movements?"

Suddenly, a clear, resonant voice sounded from afar. A group of people had arrived nearby without anyone noticing.

The leader wore a Confucian scholar's robe. He appeared to be about forty years old, dignified and imposing, emanating an aura no weaker than Xu Wuji's.

When Xu Wuji saw the newcomer, his expression instantly turned extremely dark. His voice condensed into a thin thread, whispering into Yang Ling's ear:

"Director Yang, you must be careful. This villain comes from the Star Observation Academy, a junior disciple of Gu Weizhou. He is a Fifth-Rank expert."

"At the same time, he holds the position of a Director in the Department of Personnel's Merit Evaluation Bureau, a Fifth-Rank official!"

"He oversees examinations, promotions, and demotions."
