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

Yang Ling's words were like a massive boulder dropped into a calm lake, sending ripples of waves across its surface.

The miners watching the spectacle subconsciously crowded closer.

The supervisors in the vicinity who were paying attention to the commotion also walked over, their expressions tinged with shock and doubt.

Fang Qingyang forced a strained smile onto his face:

"Supervisor Yang, you must be joking. Are you saying you can mine ten jin of Vermilion Gold Ore in a day?"

"More or less. Depends on luck. If I find a big enough piece of Vermilion Gold Ore, over ten jin is possible too."

Yang Ling gave a slight nod.

Fang Qingyang fell silent.

The nearby supervisors also exchanged glances.

The players sighed inwardly. If it were before, they might not have believed it.

But after seeing that Yang Ling didn't need to rest while mining, they understood that ten jin a day wasn't difficult at all!

If they didn't need to rest, they could mine at least one or two jin a day too!

"Don't just stand there, settle up."

Yang Ling reminded him.

"Oh, right!"

Fang Qingyang: "One qian of Vermilion Gold Ore is twenty wen. Twenty-two jin is... forty-four liang."

His expression grew even more peculiar.

Chen Xu and the others inwardly gasped in shock.

Forty-four liang...

That was enough to buy their lives several times over!

Fang Qingyang, wearing a forced smile, settled the payment with Yang Ling, then began counting the Vermilion Gold Ore from the other players.

"Three qian, sixty wen."

"Five qian, one hundred wen."

"Two qian, forty wen."

It started off quite normal.

"One liang? Two hundred wen."

"Two liang? Four hundred wen."

"Three liang? Six hundred wen."

"What's your name?"

"Li Tianye."

Beads of cold sweat broke out on Fang Qingyang's forehead.

He forced himself to remain calm as he paid out the wages to these miners.

In the end, there were over thirty jin of Vermilion Gold Ore piled on his desk!

The supervisors nearby saw this scene, their expressions unprecedentedly grave.

The miners watching were also dumbfounded.

"How can they mine so fast!?"

"Their pickaxes are different from ours. That one looks like a Fine Steel Pickaxe!"

"Supervisor Yang gave it to them, right? But even with a different pickaxe, they shouldn't be able to mine this much!"

"That's how it is down in the mine shafts. Actually, the Vermilion Gold Ore chunks in the shafts are bigger. If you find one, you might not finish mining it in several days, saving time on searching."

"But still, that's not it..."

They were secretly shocked, unable to figure it out.

"Alright, go back and rest. Gather at the mine shaft entrance when the agreed-upon time arrives."

Yang Ling said.

"Supervisor Yang, we'll head back first then."

Naturally, the players wouldn't call Yang Ling by any other title in front of the natives.

They bowed respectfully, then quickly headed towards the village with their Copper Coins.

Their steps carried a hint of joy, their inner excitement beyond words!

They struck it rich!

For the first time, they earned so many Copper Coins in just one day!

From now on, there was no way they'd go hungry again!

They could eat whatever they wanted!

Fish, meat, eggs—they could buy whatever they wanted!

"Supervisor Yang!"

Just as Yang Ling was about to leave, someone suddenly called out.

"Is there something?"

Yang Ling looked at that miner.

The miner mustered his courage and cautiously asked:

"Supervisor Yang, can I go down the mine shaft with you too?"

I was waiting for you to say that.

A faint smile appeared on Yang Ling's face:

"Why not? If you want to go down the mine shaft with me, just follow along."

"Thank you, thank you!"

The miner repeatedly clasped his hands in gratitude.

He wanted to make big money too!

Where there was one, there would be a second.

After this miner spoke up, many other miners also mustered their courage to ask. Yang Ling naturally agreed to each one.

After telling them the time to go down the shaft, Yang Ling left gracefully.

He knew the situation with the Vermilion Gold Ore had opened up.

This was a very good start.

"All of you, disperse."

A supervisor waved his hand, shooing away the onlooking miners.

Then, a few of them walked up to Fang Qingyang, their expressions somewhat grave:

"This is a big problem."

"Why is Yang Ling's mining speed so fast?"

"Many miners are already tempted. If we don't curb this, I'm afraid more and more miners will go down the shafts with him!"

"If it really comes to that... we won't have a good explanation for Senior Brother Yang. Supervisor Fang, think of something!"

"Do you think... it could be fake?"

Fang Qingyang seemed thoughtful.

"Fake?"

The few supervisors exchanged glances, their expressions shifting.

"You mean... he brought that Vermilion Gold Ore in with him beforehand?"

One supervisor whispered.

"Exactly!"

Fang Qingyang slowly nodded: "He's doing this to attract miners to go down the shafts with him, to increase output."

"That's easy to handle then. We just need to tell the miners the truth."

The few supervisors inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the miners were also discussing the incident.

Many miners had already agreed to go down the mine shaft with Yang Ling.

"You're all fools! It's impossible for someone to mine over ten jin of Vermilion Gold Ore in a day!"

"Supervisor Yang is probably bluffing. Who knows if he brought that Vermilion Gold Ore in himself?"

"Exactly. If you really get tricked and die in the mine shaft, wouldn't that be worthless?"

These comments did calm down many miners.

But some miners frowned and said:

"The Copper Coins they exchanged for the Vermilion Gold Ore were real silver and copper. You guys saying this, aren't you just trying to stop us from making money?"

"..."

"Regardless of whether it's real or fake, wouldn't we know after going down the shaft with the supervisor once?"

"Right! Let's go down once and see the situation!"

The miners with ulterior motives exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat flustered.

Under the temptation of money, their rhetoric seemed useless...

...

Back at the courtyard, Yang Ling casually took a bath, letting his body feel refreshed.

Then he began cultivating the Vajra Bright King Technique.

After gaining 13 experience points, he switched to practicing the Thief-Capturing Saber Technique.

When the agreed-upon time arrived, he appeared once again in front of Mine Shaft No. 1.

This time, besides all the players being present,

there were also several dozen ordinary miners.

Among them hid a few who were unwilling to reveal their player identities.

Their attempts at concealment were obviously useless in front of Yang Ling.

He didn't expose them, simply leading the miners down into the mine shaft.

With the experience from the first time, the players had become very proficient this time.

The ordinary miners, who were initially somewhat terrified, gradually became infected by this atmosphere. Setting aside their distracting thoughts, they began searching for Vermilion Gold Ore and started working as soon as they found some.

Before long, a series of clinking and clanging sounds attracted their attention.

Yang Ling had found a fairly sizable piece of Vermilion Gold Ore, the kind big enough for several people to mine.

He had Chen Xu, Chen Guoqing, Wang Haodong, and Li Tianye mine it together.

But his mining speed once again plunged everyone, whether watching up close or from a distance, into astonishment.

[Frenzied Ten-Strike Combo]

The Vermilion Gold Pickaxe was already swinging so fast it left afterimages.

This scene made the group of ordinary miners gape.

"Wh-what a terrifying speed!"

"Supervisor Yang mines so ferociously! He doesn't look very old, but it seems like he's been mining for decades!"

"At this speed, ten jin a day really is possible!"

"Not just him, the others' mining speed is pretty good too. They aren't lying. You really can make big money down here!"

"Supervisor Yang's position is deeper. If there are Mine Insects, they'd go for him first. Is he protecting us?"

"Probably..."

The ordinary miners' eyes gradually grew fervent.

This newly arrived supervisor had gradually won enough respect in their hearts!

Before this, they had never heard of any supervisor at any mine vein going down into the shafts to do the same dirty, tiring work as them!

"Is he really Ironclad Department's Yang Ling? A professional constable? I feel like his profession is related to mining..."

Three players hiding their identities were also secretly observing.

Witnessing this scene, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

One of them even opened the Divine Realm Level Ranking to take a look:

"His profession really is constable..."

"What do you think? His strength is really good, his mining speed is fast. This leveling squad he's putting together has real potential."

One of them whispered:

"Should we reveal our identities?"

"Let's observe a bit longer."

The one who seemed more steady said slowly.

The other two exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and continued burying themselves in mining.

While mining, Yang Ling's peripheral vision intentionally or unintentionally swept over these three.

From his first day at the Vermilion Gold Mine, he had actually had his eye on them.

For no other reason than these three were completely ahead of everyone else in level.

All three were Level 10, stuck right at the threshold of job advancement!

They must have some leveling tricks, though he didn't know what kind.
