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

When Yang Ling and Wu Xiaochen returned to the Vermilion Gold Mine, they happened to see Old Zhao and his team arriving with a group of vagrants.

There were about three to four hundred people in total.

Yang Ling glanced over them from a distance; about half were players.

These players looked utterly bewildered at the moment. Some of them were dressed in rags with pale faces, clearly having gone hungry for a while.

"Old Zhao."

Yang Ling called out to him from afar.

Seeing Yang Ling, Old Zhao's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurried forward:

"Lord Yang!"

"Old Zhao, no need for such formality."

Old Zhao replied seriously, "Lord Yang, you are a Ninth-Rank Ironclad Constable. We are all unranked, so it's only proper to address you as 'Lord.'

Besides... Chief Constable Lin has been saying that once he gets promoted, you will become the Chief Constable of Green Mountain City.

In the future, you might even become an Eighth-Rank Ironclad Constable. That would truly make you a major figure!"

These words caused the supervisors who had come out to receive the vagrants to change their expressions slightly.

The vagrants present also all looked at Yang Ling, including the players, their eyes filled with awe.

The dozen or so constables Old Zhao had brought now also gathered around, speaking flattering words. Their tone carried a hint of ingratiation, but there was even more reverence.

First, this man had fought and killed Wu Man of the Giant Spirit Sect, then he had killed over a dozen Giant Spirit Sect spies.

Such methods and achievements were something ordinary constables could only look up to.

This was Wu Xiaochen's first time coming down from the Mountain and River Sect. He hadn't interacted with these people in Green Mountain City before, so his eyes were full of curiosity. He didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"Old Zhao, were all these vagrants sent from Green Mountain City?"

Yang Ling changed the subject, his gaze falling on the group of vagrants.

He scanned the Status Panels of these vagrants at an extremely fast speed, identifying each player.

To the vagrants, they didn't know what Yang Ling was looking at, but they could feel his gaze was sharp, so sharp they didn't dare meet his eyes.

"Yes, Chief Constable Lin gave the order. He said you're short on miners here, so from now on, any vagrants should be sent to you first."

Old Zhao said with a smile.

Yang Ling immediately took out some pieces of broken silver and handed them to Old Zhao:

"Old Zhao, you've worked hard. Share this silver with the brothers."

"Five taels of silver!?"

Old Zhao was slightly startled and hurriedly declined, not daring to accept at all.

It was only under Yang Ling's insistence that he accepted the money, trembling with fear.

The constables present felt a surge of excitement. Divided up, they could each get three to five mace of silver.

This was no small sum!

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Old Zhao and his team left.

Yang Ling swept his gaze over the supervisors present:

"During my trip to the Mountain and River Sect, Yang Zhiwen was severely scolded by the Sect Master.

The Sect Master also knows someone is trying to hinder the Vermilion Gold Mine's output, so he declared that from now on, appointments for supervisors of this mine will be decided by Senior Brother Xu Qing.

Senior Brother Xu Qing, in turn, said I should be the one to decide."

The eleven supervisors were stunned, their faces instantly turning pale.

"The incident with Fang Qingyang serves as a typical example. You all understand there's no point in staying here any longer."

"So pack your things and return to wherever you came from. You're all fired."

Yang Ling's tone left no room for doubt.

The eleven supervisors didn't dare to argue at all. With pale faces, they cupped their fists and said:

"As you command, sir."

They immediately went back to pack their belongings, preparing to leave the Vermilion Gold Mine.

Wu Xiaochen was somewhat astonished:

"Yang Ling, you fired all the supervisors? Then who will handle the work here..."

"Old Wu, you'll be a supervisor from now on too. Of course, you'll have to shoulder these responsibilities."

Yang Ling said with a laugh, "Besides, I have quite a few capable people under me. They can all become supervisors.

Having twelve supervisors before was a bit excessive; we don't need that many."

At this moment, Chen Xu, Chen Guoqing, Li Tianye, and the others also heard the news and hurried over.

Yang Ling immediately announced that Wu Xiaochen, Chen Xu, Chen Guoqing, Li Tianye, and Wang Haodong would become supervisors of the Vermilion Gold Mine.

Their monthly salary would be 8 taels of silver.

"Eight taels... one tael equals two thousand copper... that's equivalent to a monthly salary of sixteen thousand..."

Wu Xiaochen said excitedly, "I couldn't earn that much outside."

Chen Guoqing and the others were also excited.

They never expected that after Yang Ling's trip to the Mountain and River Sect, he could make them supervisors.

Yang Ling had Chen Guoqing and the others arrange for the newly arrived players to settle in the Miner's Village.

Then he called Li Tianye and other veteran players to come to the small courtyard where he lived.

Over a hundred players gathered here, each chatting and laughing softly.

The leveling grind during this period had improved their spirits and outlook, making their days feel more hopeful.

The trio of Gao Chen had also revealed their player identities.

Moreover, Gao Chen hadn't hidden the fact that he was a Martial Artist.

So among the players, these three held a bit of authority.

"That guy seems to be someone Yang Ling brought back from the Mountain and River Sect. Probably a master."

The trio was curiously sizing up Wu Xiaochen.

Wu Xiaochen, seeing so many players for the first time, was excitedly chatting with them.

Not long after, Yang Ling cleared his throat:

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Wu Xiaochen, ranked ninth on the Divine Realm Level Ranking. A formal disciple of the Mountain and River Sect."

"It's actually him!?"

The crowd was somewhat incredulous.

Especially the players who had just been chatting and laughing with Wu Xiaochen felt this guy had no airs at all, completely unlike a top-ranked master!

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, filled with envy and admiration, Wu Xiaochen felt a bit embarrassed.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Everyone, I just got a bit lucky. From now on, I'll be leveling up with you all at the Vermilion Gold Mine. I look forward to your guidance."

"Great! With Brother Wu mining with us, we'll be even safer!"

The players' spirits were lifted.

The team seemed to be growing stronger and stronger, and they were, after all, the veterans of this group.

In the future, they were bound to get even more benefits!

After announcing this, Yang Ling dismissed the players, arranging to meet at the entrance of Mine Shaft No. 1 in three hours.

In his room, Yang Ling locked the door, opened his Status Panel, and checked the detailed information of the Vajra Bright King Technique:

[Vajra Bright King Technique, four layers in total]

[First Layer: Gain 5 Free Attribute Points. When Circulating Energy, Strength and Agility each increase by 15 points. Additional HP increases by 100 points]

[Second Layer: Gain 10 Free Attribute Points. When Circulating Energy, Strength and Agility each increase by 30 points. Additional HP increases by 200 points]

[Special Effect: Gain Vitality]

[Third Layer: Gain 20 Free Attribute Points. When Circulating Energy, Strength and Agility each increase by 60 points. Additional HP increases by 500 points]

[Special Effect: Vitality increases by 100 points]

[Special Skill: Vajra Indestructible Body, Defense increases tenfold. Duration is limited by Vitality]

"The Free Attribute Points gained at the third layer are as I guessed before, and the increase amounts are also standard, nothing out of the ordinary."

"But there are two additional benefits: Vitality increases by 100 points, and there's a special skill that increases defense tenfold?"

Yang Ling was pleasantly surprised. By then, his HP could break a thousand. With a tenfold defense increase, his durability would undergo a Qualitative Transformation!

"I've noticed that every time the Vajra Bright King Technique advances, there's a qualitative leap in strength.

This is the terrifying aspect of a top-tier cultivation technique."

"Even if the Vajra Bright King Technique might not be a complete top-tier technique, it doesn't matter. Although Lin Caiyi and the others are disciples of top-tier sects, they might not have access to this level of internal cultivation method."

Thinking this, Yang Ling, feeling satisfied, began cultivating the Vajra Bright King Technique.

After gaining 15 Experience Points, he picked up his Vermilion Gold Pickaxe and headed towards the Vermilion Gold Mine.
