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

"If I make a move, I'll have to kill them all."

"As for the reason afterwards, we'll deal with that later. At worst, I'll just become a wanted criminal on the Black List!"

Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

Yang Ling activated the Vajra Bright King Technique.

Instantly, his Strength attribute soared to 26 points!

Agility reached 20 points!

Wu Que's movements now seemed slow and full of openings in his eyes!

"Boulder Crushing Fist!"

Yang Ling struck, his Strength increasing by another 6 points!

The masked burly men only saw a blur before their eyes, and Yang Ling was already in front of Wu Que.

They were somewhat shocked.

Wu Que was even more shocked: "A Martial Artist!?"

This speed, this fist momentum...

Wu Que panicked.

Thud!

Yang Ling's fist had already landed on Wu Que's chest.

A single punch left a fist imprint, causing his chest to cave in several inches!

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out as Wu Que was sent flying backward.

"Wait!"

His voice was hoarse.

"Wait for your mother!"

Yang Ling quickly closed the distance, grabbing Wu Que's arm and forcing him upright.

In the next moment, a storm of punches rained down furiously.

Blow after blow smashed into Wu Que's body.

Wu Que's eyes began to glaze over.

"Uncle Wang was a good man, and you just killed him like that?"

"Want to make me the scapegoat? Why don't you take a piss and look at your reflection?"

"Oh right, Fifth Brother was also killed by me. He was trash, and aren't you the same?"

"You... the Vajra Bright King Technique?"

Wu Que's pupils completely dilated, but the tenacious vitality of a Martial Artist allowed him to barely speak.

"You realized too late."

Yang Ling's gaze was indifferent as he punched Wu Que's forehead.

Crack!

Skull shattered.

Wu Que's eyes rolled back, completely lifeless.

A massive surge of warmth flowed into Yang Ling's body.

Just like mining in the past few days, although there was experience, there was no sign of leveling up.

The group of masked burly men were horrified, their legs trembling.

By the time they reacted, Yang Ling had already swept toward them like a gale!

"Run!"

"The Vajra Bright King Technique is on him!"

Not a single burly man chose to fight Yang Ling.

They were already scared out of their wits and didn't believe they stood a chance at all.

They all turned their backs to flee.

Only by going all out this time did Yang Ling realize just how strong he was.

His speed, without any leg technique enhancement, was as fast as the wind.

He caught up to one burly man, punching through the back of his skull.

Then the next one.

And the next.

In less than half a minute, all the masked burly men were dead.

One surge of warmth after another flowed into Yang Ling's body.

"They also gave experience? It seems the system judged they posed some threat to me after all."

Yang Ling deactivated his technique, standing still in a daze.

He roughly understood now why Fifth Brother hadn't allowed miners to work overtime back then.

It clearly would have interfered with the Ore Thieves' operations.

"What should I do now?"

Yang Ling looked around.

The bodies of Uncle Wang's group and Wu Que's group were scattered on the ground.

Nearly thirty corpses—this would be a major incident in the real world.

"I have absolutely no way to explain this now."

"Either expose the Vajra Bright King Technique and be hunted to death by the Bitter Awareness Temple."

"Or find a way to disappear, but I'd become a wanted criminal on the Black List anyway."

"I even specifically went to the government office to have my portrait recorded. Once on the wanted list, unless I get plastic surgery, it'll be hard to stay in Zhao State."

"Damn these bastards."

Yang Ling looked at Wu Que, still feeling unsatisfied.

Originally, he was about to go to the Vermilion Gold Ore mine as a Supervisor.

He'd also secured a Constable identity and might have successfully changed professions.

He could have steadily leveled up and increased his strength from then on.

Now all those preparations were ruined!

"Wait, maybe there's still one way."

A thought struck Yang Ling:

"The Ore Competition is fake, but only Wu Que and I know that. Chief Constable Lin probably doesn't know."

"So my Constable identity should be valid as long as I return to Green Mountain City. Whether I can actually change professions, I'll have to try to find out."

"In a few more days, someone from the Mountain and River Sect will come down to check the accounts and collect ore. That's when the discrepancies will be discovered."

"If Wu Que goes missing around this time, he'll probably be considered to have fled to escape punishment."

"Earlier, I asked Supervisor Niu why he didn't deal with Fifth Brother and the others. Supervisor Niu said he didn't want to offend Wu Que, but he should have sensed something was wrong. He might become a key witness."

"Judging by Wu Que's intention to use my identity to affect Xu Qing's acquisition of the Vermilion Gold Ore, it means Xu Qing has enemies within the Mountain and River Sect who are Wu Que's backers."

"If something happens to Wu Que, it naturally benefits Xu Qing. He should try to bury this matter."

After much deliberation, Yang Ling felt this method wasn't perfect, but it could buy some time.

As long as he became stronger during this period, this matter wouldn't be a big deal.

Next, he took out the Steel Pickaxe and began doing what he was best at.

Digging a pit!

A large pit was soon formed.

He first properly buried the innocent miners.

Then he dealt with the corpses of Wu Que and the others.

"This is... silver notes?"

Yang Ling found a hidden pocket in Wu Que's clothes containing several silver notes.

Looking at the denominations, they were all 100 taels each, eight in total.

"Wu Que was out all night last night and didn't return. Could he have gone out to make a deal with someone? Were these just obtained?"

Yang Ling's expression changed slightly.

That created a new problem.

There was someone in Green Mountain City who bought stolen ore, and they were likely quite familiar with Wu Que! Probably long-term partners.

"Wu Que probably wouldn't have told the other party about his plan. The other party might not connect it to me. Even if they do... it doesn't matter. I'll soon be a Constable; my status will be different."

Yang Ling pocketed these eight silver notes.

A full eight hundred taels of silver was undoubtedly a huge sum for him.

He knew Wu Que's assets weren't limited to this, but he didn't plan to raid his home either—that would be a stupid move, walking right into a trap.

The other masked burly men had some loose silver on them, totaling about 10 taels.

...

The next day, Yang Ling returned to Green Mountain City.

He went straight to the government office.

When Chief Constable Lin saw him, he smiled and asked:

"What was the result of the Ore Competition?"

Seeing his demeanor, Yang Ling felt relieved internally.

The other party's normal expression indicated he wasn't colluding with Wu Que.

Otherwise, his attitude wouldn't be like this.

"Wu Que seemed to have urgent business midway and left, saying the Ore Competition wasn't urgent and told me to wait for him back in the city."

Yang Ling said helplessly.

"Urgent business?"

Chief Constable Lin didn't dwell on it. He immediately took out a document and smiled:

"I've handled your employment matter. Starting today, you are one of the one hundred Constables of Green Mountain City."

Yang Ling suddenly felt a bit nervous.

He received the document with both hands.

In that instant, a message appeared before his eyes:

[Profession Change Conditions Met. Profession Change Direction: Constable]

[Change Profession?]

Profession change information!

I guessed right, I really can change professions!

Yang Ling was ecstatic and immediately chose yes.

[Profession Change Complete]

[Acquired Constable Exclusive Skill: Insight]

[Acquired Profession Change Reward: 5 Free Attribute Points]

At the same time, a long-accumulated surge of heat instantly flowed into Yang Ling's body.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Three pleasant chimes rang out consecutively!

「Congratulations, you have leveled up. Obtained 3 Free Attribute Points」

Three levels in a row!?

Yang Ling was stunned.
