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

"Fine Steel Pickaxe, Strength +5"

When the players received the Fine Steel Pickaxes from Chen Xu and Chen Guoqing, they were all shocked.

Wang Haodong was incredulous, exclaiming in disbelief:

"My strength, it seems to have increased a lot!"

He instinctively swung the Fine Steel Pickaxe a few times, producing a whooshing sound through the air!

This strength was definitely not his original strength!

"Mine too!"

"The Fine Steel Pickaxe can boost our strength!?"

"Doesn't that mean our mining efficiency will double!?"

All the players present were overcome with wild joy.

"Let me share a piece of information about the 'Divine Realm' with you all."

Yang Ling's voice rang out.

The players immediately quieted down, all looking at him, their eyes filled with excitement.

"We can access a Status Panel here."

"It has detailed attributes like level, Strength, Agility, Spirit, and so on."

"Furthermore, if you've practiced martial arts, you can also see Proficiency on the Status Panel."

As soon as he said this, the players became even more excited!

"I knew it! There had to be a status panel!"

"Brother Yang, how do we access the Status Panel?"

A player asked impatiently.

"Become a Martial Artist."

Yang Ling: "Only by becoming a Martial Artist can you see your own Status Panel.

This has already been verified on a player I know."

"Become a Martial Artist?"

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over the players.

"Boss Yang, I've been here for over a month, and during that time I've also inquired about information regarding Martial Artists."

A young man said calmly:

"The information I got is that becoming a Martial Artist is extremely difficult. Martial techniques, cultivation methods, they're all controlled by the sects of the 'Divine Realm'.

Trying to join those sects is about as difficult as skipping from elementary school straight into Tsinghua or Peking University."

"......"

This vivid analogy made the group of players feel a sense of despair.

"However... before I thought it was impossible, but now that might not be the case."

The young man changed his tone, a gleam seeming to flash in his eyes:

"With Boss Yang leading us to mine and level up, and with equipment like the Fine Steel Pickaxe boosting our leveling speed.

Then next, our levels will definitely rise quickly, our Strength will keep increasing.

By that time, we'll be different from the local Natives.

The Major Sects aren't blind, they'll naturally see our exceptional talent, and what comes after will follow logically!"

"That's right! As long as we can level up, our strength will increase, those sects will definitely be willing to take disciples like us!"

"Then we can practice martial arts, become Martial Artists, and also access the Status Panel, further solidifying our footing in the 'Divine Realm'."

"Never mind anything else, at least we can live stably. Don't laugh, but since I came to the 'Divine Realm', I haven't had a single good night's sleep!"

Gradually, a glimmer of light appeared in these players' eyes.

As long as there's a future to look forward to, there's hope in life.

Yang Ling glanced at that young man's Status Panel:

Character: Li Tianye

Profession: Miner

Level: 4

Strength: 8

Agility: 5

Spirit: 5

HP: 80

"All three base attributes are 5 points, that counts as top-tier attributes. Spirit is also quite a bit higher than normal people, so practicing martial arts later will be faster too."

"This is a talent."

Yang Ling nodded inwardly.

"Brother Yang, shall we head down into the mine?"

Chen Xu was a bit excited.

Seeing the team suddenly grow so much, he was getting a little impatient.

The players all looked at Yang Ling, waiting for his instructions.

"Let's go, down into the mine."

Yang Ling waved his hand grandly.

...

At the mine vein entrance, Fang Qingyang and the other Supervisors stood respectfully to the side.

Xu Qing was talking to a slightly older young man.

"Junior Brother Xu, you promised the sect you'd increase the Vermilion Gold Ore's monthly output to three thousand five hundred jin."

"That was truly a bit impulsive."

"How about this, I'll go back and explain to the higher-ups, let's just set it at three thousand jin, alright?"

"Eldest Senior Brother, I said three thousand five hundred jin, how can I take it back now?"

Xu Qing smiled: "If I really become a petty man who goes back on his word, I'm afraid the sect won't value me much in the future.

They wouldn't dare let me take charge independently."

"Senior Brother Xu, actually, given the Vermilion Gold Mine's current state, wanting a monthly output of three thousand five hundred jin is almost impossible."

Fang Qingyang slowly spoke, his expression somewhat emotional:

"A month's output reaching just over two thousand jin is the limit."

"Gotta give it a try."

Xu Qing glanced at Fang Qingyang.

At that moment, everyone suddenly felt something was off.

Turning to look, they saw a group of Miners approaching in a grand procession.

The person leading them was none other than Yang Ling.

Fang Qingyang had sharp eyes. Seeing the Miners holding Fine Steel Pickaxes, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Yang Ling has already rallied a group of Miners this quickly?"

Xu Qing's expression shifted slightly.

At the same time, Yang Ling also sensed the strange atmosphere here.

"The person next to Xu Qing, why does he look at me so strangely."

Yang Ling swept a glance at the other party and opened his Status Panel:

Character: Yang Zhiwen

Profession: Martial Artist

Strength: 32

Agility: 25

Spirit: 10

Martial Arts: Mountain and River Drawing Sword Technique (Skilled) Mountain and River Twelve Fists (Skilled) Mountain and River Heart Method (Comprehensive Mastery)

Affiliation: Mountain and River Sect

"Strength 32 points? Agility 25 points? Spirit is also 10 points?"

Yang Ling felt a slight chill in his heart.

He hadn't broken 30 points in a single attribute yet.

The only one close to 30 points was his Spirit at 27 points.

As for Strength and Agility, he hadn't even broken 20 points yet, still far from 30.

Besides that, the other party had even trained the Mountain and River Heart Method to the Comprehensive Mastery level!

Every aspect of his stats was higher than Xu Qing's!

"Senior Brother Xu."

Yang Ling didn't show any unusual expression. After approaching, he cupped his hands and bowed to Xu Qing.

"You plan to personally take them down into the mine?"

Xu Qing smiled.

"That's right."

Yang Ling nodded slightly.

"Good, keep it up. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Xu Qing said.

Yang Zhiwen suddenly smiled: "So you're Yang Ling? A fellow Yang family member. Even after becoming the Supervisor of the Vermilion Gold Mine, you still think about personally leading Miners down into the mine. Junior Brother Xu didn't misjudge you."

"And you are?"

Yang Ling inquired politely.

"This is my Eldest Senior Brother, Yang Zhiwen. Previously, the Supervisor of the Vermilion Gold Mine was someone he arranged, but later there was a problem and that person was transferred.

This time he's passing by the Vermilion Gold Mine, intending to impart some experience to us, afraid we might have management oversights. Quite thoughtful of him."

Xu Qing said, his words carrying a hint of insinuation.

Yang Zhiwen seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Xu Qing's words. He looked Yang Ling up and down, then suddenly asked:

"On the day Wu Que disappeared, were you with him?"

Yang Ling's heart tightened slightly.

For a moment, he even suspected that the other party had come to the Vermilion Gold Mine not to cause trouble for Xu Qing, but to cause trouble for him!

"Supervisor Wu was indeed with me that day."

Yang Ling nodded.

"Can you tell me what exactly happened that day?"

Yang Zhiwen smiled.

Xu Qing reacted at this point and immediately said:

"Yang Ling, take your people down into the mine."

"Yes."

Yang Ling immediately led his people into the mine vein, ignoring Yang Zhiwen any further.

"Eldest Senior Brother, Wu Que ran off, that's that. Don't think about dragging my people into this matter."

Xu Qing looked at Yang Zhiwen, his smile not quite reaching his eyes.

Yang Zhiwen's lips curled upwards, tearing off the pretense:

"Junior Brother, this Vermilion Gold Mine is too valuable, you can't handle it.

But it's fine. In three months, it will return to my hands.

During these three months, I say its output won't even reach two thousand five hundred jin, and it won't."

Hearing this, Fang Qingyang and the other Supervisors revealed faint smiles on their faces.

Xu Qing's expression turned somewhat ugly. The other party was laying his cards on the table...
