Zhang Wei had actually understood a great deal in that moment.

From the very beginning, Yang Ling's level had been far higher than his.

It was even very likely that Yang Ling had become a Martial Artist long before he did!

Otherwise, how could one explain how the other had, in such a short time, transformed into a constable of the Ironclad Department?

Not only had he successfully changed professions, but his level was a terrifying 13!?

"I'm only level 5! Damn you, Yang Ling!"

After the anger, Zhang Wei suddenly came to his senses.

"Constable? That's also a profession advancement path? Then can I do it too?"

He gradually calmed down and said to the gang leader beside him:

"Go on, go on."

The other waved his hand dismissively.

Zhang Wei quickly found the location of the yamen.

When he expressed his desire to become a constable, the constable guarding the gate was stunned:

"We're not recruiting constables here."

"How could you not be recruiting!?"

Zhang Wei frowned.

"You think anyone can become a constable? Do you have a letter of introduction? Has Chief Constable Lin given his approval? Besides, our quota here has been full for a long time, and the only vacancy has already been filled."

The other waved his hand: "Go on, go on, don't indulge in wishful thinking."

Zhang Wei stood there, his face ashen, for a full several breaths before he finally turned and left.

He hadn't expected that even becoming a constable would be so difficult.

At that time, many other players also saw the two new top experts on the Divine Realm Level Ranking: Yang Ling, Wu Xiaochen.

Among them, some with sharp minds immediately noticed the key point.

"A constable counts as a profession advancement path?"

"Excellent, I have hope for advancement!"

"This is much simpler than joining a sect!"

At the same time, the other individuals on the ranking list were also checking the board.

"Constable? Heh, I didn't expect that to be possible."

"Compared to a sect, this advancement path is a bit weaker."

"It seems many people are catching up. I need to level up quickly and not let them overtake me!"

"..."

...

Fire Crystal Rock mine, Miner's Village.

Chen Xu and Officer Chen were eating noodles.

Suddenly, Officer Chen's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Chen Xu:

"What was that Brother Yang's full name again?"

"Yang Ling."

Chen Xu said while slurping his noodles.

Not far away stood Lin Guoliang and the others. Seeing that Chen Xu and the other could eat steaming hot plain noodles with a bit of minced meat on top, their expressions grew increasingly ugly.

"Open the Divine Realm Level Ranking and take a look."

Officer Chen said with a grave expression.

Chen Xu: "Brother Chen, there's nothing much to see there. Those people up there are gods, we can't compare."

"What we need to do now is work hard at mining. My strength has been increasing lately, I must have leveled up again."

"Even though I can't see my level, just keep mining."

"Take a look."

Officer Chen's tone was somewhat strange:

"There might be someone we know."

"Someone we know? How is that possible?"

Suspicious, Chen Xu opened the Divine Realm Level Ranking.

He looked through them one by one. When he saw '007, Ironclad Department Yang Ling', the chopsticks in his hand involuntarily fell onto the table.

"Do you think it's possible that it's actually Brother Yang? That he's also a player?"

Officer Chen pondered.

"Not very... likely, right?"

"If he's a player, why wouldn't Brother Yang be willing to tell us? Why hide his identity?"

Chen Xu's expression was odd: "And I've never even heard of this 'Ironclad Department'."

"It would be great if it really is him. Brother Yang is a warm-hearted person."

Officer Chen sighed with emotion, then had a thought:

"Did you see? Constable is also an advancement path."

"Constable..."

"Compared to joining those sects, becoming a constable is more practical. Green Mountain City has constables."

Officer Chen seemed thoughtful:

"If other colleagues from the rescue team see this news, they should be able to figure it out too.

Perhaps this will be our main direction in the future.

Being able to become constables would allow us to survive better in this world and have the capacity to help other victims."

"Officer Chen, we are still vagrants right now... Vagrants aren't qualified to become constables."

Chen Xu reminded in a low voice.

The thought of their status as vagrants made him feel very uneasy.

In the Miner's Village, he could see that those miners with formal identities all carried a faint air of arrogance.

That was because the law could protect them.

But vagrants... if they died, they died, without even an identity. The yamen wouldn't even bother.

Just then, Lin Guoliang finally couldn't hold back anymore and walked over with his girlfriend Wu Meng.

"Chen Xu, I was wrong before. I admit my mistake."

Lin Guoliang hesitated for a while before slowly speaking.

Wu Meng stared at their bowls of noodles and subconsciously swallowed:

"Could you... buy us a bowl..."

Chen Xu turned his head, slurped down the remaining noodles in a few mouthfuls, and ignored them.

Officer Chen said seriously: "You two, you need to mine. Mining is how you level up and increase your strength.

That way you can mine more and more, and three meals a day definitely won't be a problem."

"Mine, mine! But why didn't Chen Xu tell me earlier that I could level up!?"

Lin Guoliang looked at Chen Xu with deep resentment.

"Why should I tell you? You even expected me to support both of you. Did you think I was your servant?"

Chen Xu stood up and said coldly.

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you."

Lin Guoliang's eyes shifted. He knew he couldn't beat Chen Xu anymore.

So he looked at Officer Chen:

"Officer Chen, you can't just watch us go hungry, can you?

We will mine, but we just don't have the ability yet.

Our hands get blistered after a while, our strength is exhausted, our bodies ache terribly.

We'll level up slowly. Once our strength increases, we can be self-sufficient.

Until then, you need to look after us a bit."

Officer Chen couldn't help but sigh, then waved his hand:

"My ability is limited. If you got beaten today, I could still speak a few words for you. But filling your stomachs is something you need to solve yourselves."

"Have you forgotten your identity!?"

Lin Guoliang's voice suddenly rose several notches.

It attracted the attention of many miners.

"Don't cause trouble!"

Chen Xu's expression changed. Gritting his teeth, he took out four copper coins:

"Here, this is enough for two bowls of plain noodles!"

Lin Guoliang's face lit up with joy. Just as he was about to take them, he saw the copper coins in Chen Xu's hand being snatched away by another hand.

"This counts as paying me back."

Yang Ling said to Chen Xu with a faint smile:

"You still owe me nine hundred and ninety-six wen."

"Brother Yang?"

Chen Xu was pleasantly surprised.

But when he saw Yang Ling wearing official uniform with a waist knife at his side, he was momentarily stunned.

The information about '007' from the Divine Realm Level Ranking flooded his mind.

Officer Chen took a deep breath, his mood also somewhat excited.

He had guessed correctly. That Yang Ling on the ranking was this Yang Ling.

"You... what are you doing..."

Lin Guoliang was also intimidated by Yang Ling's imposing manner and attire, feeling both shocked and suspicious.

"If you want to eat, rely on yourself."

Yang Ling smiled: "You can't even support your own girlfriend, and you dare come to the 'Divine Realm'? You might as well end yourself sooner."

"What!? You are..."

Lin Guoliang's eyes widened.

Wu Meng was also incredulous.

They shared the same mindset as Chen Xu, having little interest in the Divine Realm Level Ranking.

Or rather, every time they saw that ranking, their mood grew worse, so they simply stopped looking at it.

That's why they didn't immediately notice the information change on it.

"Chen Xu, Officer Chen, let's talk in private."

Ignoring this blockhead, Yang Ling said to Chen Xu and the other with a faint smile.
