The sight of Yang Ling leading over a hundred people down into Mine Shaft No. 1 was witnessed by the tens of thousands of miners at the Vermilion Gold Mine.

"Our Supervisor here seems to be dead set on tackling the mine shafts."

"If he can really resolve the dangers inside the shafts, we might actually have a chance to go down and make a fortune later."

"Stop daydreaming, everyone. Our Supervisor Yang is just putting on a show for us."

One miner poured cold water on their hopes, "His goal is to get us into the shafts to dig more Vermilion Gold ore. That's a job that risks losing your head. Whoever wants to go, go ahead."

The flicker of hope in many miners' hearts was snuffed out once again.

Making money was indeed important, but staying alive was more crucial.

Xu Qing, on his end, had long since grown tired of dealing with Yang Zhiwen's hypocrisy and had already left.

Yang Zhiwen glanced at the supervisors present and said with a faint smile,

Many supervisors exchanged glances, choosing to remain silent and not voice an opinion.

Fang Qingyang, however, wore a grave expression as he said,

"Senior Brother Yang, we also want to increase output. It's just that these miners are unwilling to risk their lives digging. No one can force them."

"If no one can solve the three major dangers within the mine shafts, no one will be willing to go down."

Mine Insects, Ore Thieves, and collapses—these were the three major dangers of the shafts.

Encountering any one of them could mean losing your life.

Yang Zhiwen seemed thoughtful, "That's true. We'll wait for the future. I'll think of a way to solve these problems."

……

"That Yang Zhiwen is probably Wu Que's backer. His strength is indeed formidable, far surpassing Xu Qing's."

"But give me another couple of months, wait until the Vajra Bright King Technique advances to the second layer.

Plus the Free Attribute Points I'll earn from leveling up during this time, my attributes will far exceed his."

Yang Ling inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he now had enough time to rush his level and train his technique.

Next, he, along with Chen Xu and Chen Guoqing, took the lead in venturing deeper into the mine shaft.

At the same time, he had the over a hundred players work together to jointly develop the area.

Soon, Vermilion Gold ore was found.

Right in front of Li Tianye was a piece of Vermilion Gold ore. Holding his Fine Steel Pickaxe, he gave it just one strike, and a tiny bit of Vermilion Gold flaked off.

"This thing nearly doubled my Strength."

"My mining speed and efficiency from now on will be greatly increased!"

Without another word, he buried his head and worked diligently.

Other players also gradually got into the rhythm. As soon as they found Vermilion Gold ore, they immediately started digging!

Because their digging speed had significantly increased, their desire to rush their levels instantly ignited!

The resources within the mine shaft were indeed far more abundant than those outside.

Almost every side tunnel yielded some Vermilion Gold ore, large and small.

Even with over a hundred players, there was no situation of too many people and too little ore.

They only hated that they couldn't dig fast enough.

Suddenly, a series of clinking and clanging sounds rang out.

Many players instinctively stopped their work and raised their torches to look.

They saw a figure, seemingly possessed, relentlessly attacking a piece of Vermilion Gold ore.

The Vermilion Gold Pickaxe in his hand was swung so fast it left afterimages.

Even the hard Vermilion Gold ore, under this level of output, continuously chipped away...

At this moment, they finally became convinced that Yang Ling was capable of digging ten jin of Vermilion Gold ore in a single day!

"That speed is terrifying. Is this the horror of a level 15 expert?!"

The players secretly gulped, then also stirred their spirits and began digging like mad.

Time passed bit by bit.

Some players got tired and rested on the spot.

While resting, they couldn't help but admire Yang Ling's heroic mining posture.

When they noticed Yang Ling seemed like a tireless machine, besides envy, a trace of awe and admiration gradually grew in their hearts.

"Grind Emperor."

Wang Haodong muttered to himself, then glanced at Chen Xu, who was also resting,

"Brother Xu, was Boss Yang always like this before? We've been in here for at least half a day, and he doesn't seem to need rest."

"Obviously. That's why Boss Yang is in the top ten of the Divine Realm Level Ranking."

Chen Xu said.

Wang Haodong immediately nodded,

"That's as it should be."

Unconsciously, time reached the next day.

Apart from Yang Ling, all the players spent their time alternating between digging and resting.

When night fell, they even slept right on the ground.

Before sleeping, Yang Ling was mining.

When they woke up, they found Yang Ling was still mining.

"How much have you all dug?"

Yang Ling put away his Vermilion Gold Pickaxe, called the players over, and began taking stock.

"I dug 2 liang!"

"I got 3 liang!"

"I should have about 1 liang here..."

Apart from a few exceptions, the rest had at least 1 liang to start with.

Whereas an ordinary miner at the Vermilion Gold Mine could only dig 1 qian in a day!

The players suddenly felt the fatigue on their bodies vanish, their spirits growing increasingly exhilarated!

"The Vermilion Gold ore here is plentiful enough; it won't run out after a little digging, saving the time spent searching for ore."

"The Fine Steel Pickaxe also increases Strength significantly, improving mining efficiency quite a bit."

"Plus, you all spent more time mining than usual, with greater drive. Having these gains is normal."

"As your levels get higher and higher, your mining speed will become faster and faster."

Yang Ling smiled,

"That's about it. Go back, take a bath, rest up. I'm giving you six hours. After that, gather at the mine shaft entrance."

He planned to compress the training time for the Thief-Capturing Saber Technique.

As long as he maintained daily training of the Vajra Bright King Technique up to its limit, that was enough.

The remaining time would all be used for mining and rushing levels.

Martial techniques were indeed important, but the situation he currently faced required leading the team to rush their levels!

This was only the first day, and he already saw hope.

Over a hundred players, averaging 2 liang of Vermilion Gold ore per person.

That amounted to 20 jin here.

Adding his 10 jin.

Thirty jin of output per day!

Nine hundred jin per month!

Even if they maintained this speed going forward, as long as the other miners' output reached 2,600 jin per month, he could complete Xu Qing's task.

"Only when Xu Qing's position is secure will my position be secure."

Yang Ling thought to himself.

Not long after, he led the large group out of the mine shaft, slowly heading towards the area where the supervisors were.

Miners nearby all looked over.

"Seems like no one's missing."

"Of course no one would be missing with Supervisor Yang protecting them, but if we went down into the shaft, would Supervisor Yang protect us?"

"That's true. But they stayed inside for a whole day; their harvest must be quite substantial, right?"

Their curiosity was instantly piqued, and they immediately followed from a distance, wanting to see how much Vermilion Gold ore they would turn in.

Fang Qingyang was currently sitting behind a desk, on which rested a small scale.

"Supervisor Fang, the Supervisor and his group have come out."

A Mine Guard whispered a reminder.

Fang Qingyang immediately perked up, a faint smile appearing on his face.

When Yang Ling approached, he immediately clasped his hands in greeting,

"Supervisor, you all stayed in the mine shaft overnight. Your harvest must be quite substantial, right?"

"Not bad. Since I didn't turn in any Vermilion Gold ore on the first day, I'll hand it all in together."

Yang Ling lifted two cloth bags and tossed them in front of Fang Qingyang.

Thud!

The bags landed on the desk with a heavy thump.

Fang Qingyang looked somewhat surprised and doubtful. He immediately began checking the weight.

After a while, he said thoughtfully,

"There are twenty-two jin in here..."

"Hiss!"

The miners watching the spectacle nearby gasped in shock.

Twenty-two jin!?

Really?

Fang Qingyang suddenly laughed, "Supervisor, your methods are impressive. Leading over a hundred miners, digging for just over a day, and you managed to gather 22 jin of Vermilion Gold ore. Our mine's output is bound to skyrocket from now on."

"That's what I personally dug. Theirs are still on them. Don't mix them up."

Yang Ling said seriously.

The smile on Fang Qingyang's face gradually stiffened.

Personally dug? Was that possible?
