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

It was still that same wooden hut, but along the way, countless miners were staring at Yang Ling, their eyes full of astonishment.

This was precisely the effect Yang Ling wanted.

If he concealed his constable identity, it would more easily invite unnecessary speculation.

But if he openly displayed this layer of identity, then when the Mountain and River Sect discovered Wu Que had embezzled a batch of Fire Crystal Rock and 'disappeared without a trace', they wouldn't overly trouble him, a constable of the Ironclad Department.

His only suspicion was entering and leaving the city with Wu Que.

The constable identity could make the Mountain and River Sect overlook, or simply ignore, this minor suspicion.

For a sect power to want to act against the Imperial Court's yamen?

That was impossible.

Inside the wooden hut, Yang Ling invited the two to sit down.

Chen Xu said with a bitter smile.

"I judged from your conversation that day that you were also players."

"The reason I didn't want to tell you was because I encountered a situation."

Yang Ling briefly recounted his conflict with Zhang Wei.

"You should understand deeply, that Lin Guoliang and Zhang Wei are pretty much the same type of person, though the latter is more resilient than Lin Guoliang, at least he can feed himself."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

Chen Xu's face showed shame, but he also understood why Yang Ling didn't reveal his player identity.

"The quality of players who entered the Divine Realm this time varies greatly. Lin Guoliang and Zhang Wei are not isolated cases."

Officer Chen said thoughtfully:

"What you did is actually right. Quietly helping within your capabilities is already fulfilling your duty."

"You two, can you see the Status Panel?"

Yang Ling suddenly asked.

"Status Panel? No, we can't. What's on it?"

Chen Xu and Officer Chen perked up.

"Zhang Wei wasn't lying about this at least."

Only at this moment did Yang Ling truly confirm Zhang Wei hadn't been fooling him.

"The Status Panel has level information, attribute information, and information on practiced techniques."

Yang Ling said: "According to the information I previously got from Zhang Wei, you can only access your own Status Panel after first becoming a Martial Artist."

He had already checked both of their attributes.

Because of mining, both had already leveled up.

Chen Xu was already level 5, with 7 points in Strength.

Although Officer Chen's level was 2 levels lower than Chen Xu's, only level 3.

His base attributes were quite good.

In fact, excluding Spirit, his initial Strength and Agility attributes were much better than Yang Ling's own.

Character: Chen Guoqing

Profession: Miner

Level: 2

Strength: 6

Agility: 5

Spirit: 4

HP: 60

This meant Chen Guoqing's initial Strength and Agility were both 5 points.

Such initial attributes were actually already very high.

"Becoming a Martial Artist allows access to the Status Panel?"

The two of them became excited.

But they immediately realized the catch.

Becoming a Martial Artist? That was probably very difficult...

"Becoming a constable is one path, and you wouldn't need to specifically change professions later."

Yang Ling knew what they were thinking and said with a faint smile:

"Upon becoming a constable, the Ironclad Department will give you a copy of the Thief-Capturing Saber Technique. With our game system, we can learn it directly and be considered initiated."

"Brother Yang, our levels are probably too low, and we have no savings. We're still vagrants now... becoming constables is probably very difficult."

Chen Xu said thoughtfully.

Chen Guoqing, however, had a gleam in his eyes:

"Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it. Maybe we can't become constables this year, but what about next year? The year after?

As long as we're alive, anything is possible."

Yang Ling glanced at him, feeling somewhat gratified.

This man wasn't rigid and had firmly refused to give handouts to Lin Guoliang earlier.

But he also possessed a righteous heart, and his will was much more resilient than the average person's.

If he really could become the supervisor at the Vermilion Gold Mine.

Chen Xu and Chen Guoqing would be good helpers.

"For now, you two follow me to mine and rush your levels."

"As for the opportunity to become Martial Artists, as long as there's a goal, it's only a matter of time."

Yang Ling said.

The two were immediately overjoyed. Having a pro willing to guide them was naturally the best outcome!

"Xiao Yang, I heard you became a constable?"

Suddenly, Supervisor Niu's voice came from outside the door.

Yang Ling's expression shifted, and he immediately pushed open the wooden hut door, smiling and cupping his fists:

"Supervisor Niu."

Supervisor Niu looked at the clothes on his body and nodded slightly, not feeling surprised at all, but rather thinking it was perfectly normal.

Yang Ling guessed why.

The reason Supervisor Wu ultimately decided to use him as a scapegoat was also because he learned from Supervisor Niu that he might be a descendant of the Yang Family from Hongkun City.

With such an identity, him becoming a constable in Green Mountain City was also a matter of course.

"Xiao Yang, being a constable is good, it has prospects. At least you're removed from some of the conflicts in the martial world, and petty thieves won't dare provoke you."

Supervisor Niu smiled meaningfully.

He paused, then asked curiously:

"Since you've become a constable, why are you back?"

"Supervisor Niu, it's like this... I don't have duty shifts, so during my free time I want to come back and mine."

Yang Ling said with a smile: "I can earn money, after all."

"A constable coming to mine?"

Supervisor Niu's expression turned odd, but he also understood.

After all, the other's speed of earning money from mining was ridiculously fast.

In this vast Fire Crystal Rock mine, who could mine continuously for several days and gather thirty-some catties of Fire Crystal Rock?

Probably earning twenty or thirty taels of silver a month wouldn't be a problem.

"Alright, you did come from our mine after all. Mine if you want, we'll still settle with you at the same price as the other miners."

Supervisor Niu laughed heartily:

"But don't overwork yourself. The Ironclad Department occasionally has officials come down for inspections. You'll need to return to the city then, lest someone charges you with dereliction of duty."

"Don't worry, Supervisor Niu, I'll manage both sides properly."

Yang Ling smiled and nodded.

Supervisor Niu suddenly seemed to remember something:

"Oh, right. I heard Supervisor Wu said he was taking you to the Ore Competition. Why didn't Supervisor Wu come back with you?"

A trace of confusion appeared on Yang Ling's face:

"I find it strange too. We stayed in Green Mountain City for one night and set out early the next morning. But halfway there, Supervisor Wu said he had something to attend to and told me to wait.

I waited a whole day. Seeing he still hadn't returned, I went back to Green Mountain City."

"Oh?"

Supervisor Niu looked thoughtful, then smiled and nodded. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he bid farewell and left without further questioning.

"You two, shall we start work now?"

Yang Ling looked at Chen Xu and Chen Guoqing with a smile.

The two nodded excitedly.

Yang Ling changed back into his miner clothes and took the two to the mine.

This time, he didn't conceal his movements, directly taking them down into the mine shaft.

This scene fell into the eyes of miners from various factions, causing them to secretly feel shocked.

In the evening, Yang Ling led the two out of Mine Shaft No. 3.

His cloth bag was already filled with Fire Crystal Rock.

This harvest wasn't bad, about ten-some catties.

Yang Ling no longer placed much value on the Fire Crystal Rock itself.

Ten-some catties could be exchanged for about 1 tael of silver in total.

But the Experience Points it represented were what Yang Ling truly needed.

Chen Xu and Chen Guoqing both looked utterly exhausted, but their faces were beaming with satisfied smiles.

"Three catties! It's the first time I've mined three catties of Fire Crystal Rock ore in a single day!"

Chen Xu was exhilarated.

Chen Guoqing had also mined about three catties. He looked at Yang Ling with a smile:

"Thanks to Brother Yang teaching us techniques and taking us to the mine shaft with richer resources. Otherwise, more time would have been wasted just looking for ore."

Chen Xu and Chen Guoqing suddenly felt their future lives held promise.

The Experience Points gained today were at least three times, or even more, their usual daily amount!
