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

At the entrance of the medicine shop, several miners were whispering amongst themselves.

Their appearance, however, looked different from the other miners here.

Their skin was fair and delicate, and among them, there was even a woman.

"I told you not to enter the 'Divine Realm,' but you just wouldn't listen! Now look, we're probably just like those earlier unlucky ones, unable to go back!"

"Who knew this was real? This isn't the time to talk about that; we need to figure out how to survive, right?"

"I saw on the news that over thirty thousand people have mysteriously disappeared in our country; they're probably all in the 'Divine Realm' like us. Who knows if they're even still alive..."

"No way, I don't want to be a missing person, I miss my parents, wuwu..."

The woman began to sob quietly.

Yang Ling's expression changed repeatedly.

So that meant after he entered the Divine Realm, his physical body had come along as well?

"I thought it was just good modeling..."

This thought flashed through his mind, and Yang Ling's mood grew increasingly heavy.

He had finally confirmed one thing.

Since this was his own body, dying in the 'Divine Realm' meant truly dying!

A chilling cold instantly washed over him.

"What kind of bizarre existence is this 'Divine Realm'..."

"Listening to them, over thirty thousand people have disappeared in the country, meaning over thirty thousand players are in the 'Divine Realm.' If you count other countries..."

Yang Ling shuddered, not daring to think further.

If all these people died here, wouldn't the outside world be thrown into chaos?

"Mengmeng, don't worry, the country will definitely handle this matter, they won't just ignore it!"

A handsome-looking man gently comforted the sobbing girl.

Another man with an ordinary appearance was looking around.

Yang Ling glanced at the three's attributes.

Just like Zhang Wei, there was nothing remarkable about these three's attributes.

Strength and Agility were around two or three points each.

Spirit was only 1 or 2 points.

"Including Zhang Wei, the four players I've seen so far all have very low Spirit, yet I have 10 points...

Spirit is probably very important."

Yang Ling had a sudden thought.

"Um, this, this brother, could you lend me some money?"

Suddenly, the one who had been looking around walked up to Yang Ling and stammered.

He seemed to be trying his best to make his tone blend in with the style of this world.

"Who are you, asking for money just like that?"

Yang Ling rolled his eyes.

The other party was obviously like him, treating all the NPCs as fools when they first entered the 'Divine Realm.'

"Brother, you must be a miner too? We are as well. So now that we know each other, could you lend us some money? We've been hungry for a day and want to eat some buns."

Chen Xu quickly said, "My name is Chen Xu, he's Lin Guoliang, and that's his girlfriend, Wu Meng."

Lin Guoliang and Wu Meng, seeing Chen Xu striking up a conversation with an 'NPC,' immediately looked over.

"You've been hungry for a day?"

Yang Ling looked the three of them up and down.

Chen Xu quickly nodded:

"Yes, we're starving..."

"NPCs won't lend us money; don't waste your time."

Lin Guoliang suddenly shook his head.

"What NPC?"

Yang Ling suddenly asked.

Chen Xu's face changed slightly. He glared fiercely at Lin Guoliang and whispered:

"Didn't I tell you not to talk nonsense!?"

The NPCs here were completely different from what they had imagined.

This was the first key point they discovered after coming to the 'Divine Realm'!

Sometimes, if a single word was spoken inappropriately, it could very likely bring fatal disaster!

"Friend, please don't take it to heart. My childhood friend here has a bit of a problem with his brain, something's off."

Chen Xu said with an embarrassed smile.

"The buns in Miner's Village cost one copper coin each."

Yang Ling handed three copper coins to Chen Xu:

"You guys buy three buns first. Although there's not much meat filling inside, just a tiny bit of minced meat, they can still fill you up."

"We're all vagrants. Coming to the mine is about surviving, about earning money to buy an identity."

"After filling your stomachs, go find Supervisor Niu to get pickaxes, then go mining."

After saying that, he entered the medicine shop.

Lin Guoliang, bringing Wu Meng forward, was somewhat shocked:

"He really lent it? Could that guy be a player like us?"

Chen Xu gently shook his head: "He didn't understand what NPC meant, which means he's not a player; he's a native."

Then he looked at Lin Guoliang seriously:

"Guoliang, we already agreed earlier that before finding a way out, we need to survive here first.

If we die here, we might really die.

This game is not right; we can't treat it with past experience.

In the future, don't say things you shouldn't, lest you harm us all."

A flicker of dissatisfaction passed through Lin Guoliang's eyes, but he still nodded:

"I know. Let's buy the buns first."

...

The medicine shop clerk saw Yang Ling and casually asked:

"What medicine do you want?"

"I want ten bottles of Golden Sore Medicine."

Yang Ling said.

One bottle of Golden Sore Medicine could restore 10 HP; ten bottles could basically handle many dangers.

Unfortunately, this medicine shop's level was too low; there was no better medicine.

"You're not a Mine Guard; why buy so much Golden Sore Medicine?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment, muttering quietly, but still fetched ten bottles of Golden Sore Medicine for Yang Ling.

「Golden Sore Medicine (Defective), restores 10 HP」

"That'll be fifty wen."

"Here."

Yang Ling paid the money and put the Golden Sore Medicine into another cloth pouch at his waist, one he had specifically prepared for going into the mine.

"By the way, does the medicine shop have any antidote for dealing with Mine Insects?"

Yang Ling asked another question, his eyes looking around.

"Mine Insects? Have Mine Insects come out of the tunnels?"

The clerk seemed puzzled.

"Someone seemed to have seen a Mine Insect a few days ago. Just taking precautions, you know? After all, life is precious."

Yang Ling said.

The clerk immediately rummaged through a cabinet, then took out a porcelain bottle:

"This is an antidote pill that Supervisor Wu specifically placed here for sale. If bitten by a Mine Insect, it can detoxify.

But it's not effective against the venom of all Mine Insects. One bottle is fifty wen. Do you want it?"

「Antidote Pill x5」

Yang Ling nodded: "One bottle, please."

Coming out of the medicine shop, his cloth pouch now contained ten bottles of Golden Sore Medicine and one bottle of antidote pills.

He had forty-seven copper coins left.

Yang Ling immediately headed towards a familiar dry food stall.

The flatbreads sold here were very tough, but they could be stored for over ten days without going bad.

"My Strength has increased now, and my appetite has become bigger than before."

"Eating ten flatbreads a day is just right."

"Supervisor Wu wants me to participate in the miners' skill competition in a month..."

"During this time, I could actually come out every four or five days, grinding more attribute points."

Thinking this, Yang Ling walked into the dry food stall.

He exchanged all his remaining copper coins for flatbreads.

After doing all this, he finally headed towards the direction of the mine.

...

"These buns taste pretty good. Finally got about seventy percent full."

Lin Guoliang and the other two were quite satisfied.

"Next, we need to go into the mine to dig. That guy said mining is the only way to earn money and support ourselves."

Chen Xu pondered.

"Chen Xu, do you think that guy seemed like an NPC giving out a quest?"

Lin Guoliang's expression shifted:

"He also told us we must spend money to buy an identity. This might be the 'Divine Realm's' newbie quest."

"It's because of our vagrant status that we were captured and brought here to mine. Probably in the Divine Realm, having a proper identity is very important."

Chen Xu slowly nodded.

"Ah, we still don't know his name. There are so many miners in this Miner's Village; how will we find him later?"

Lin Guoliang realized.

The three looked at each other, their expressions somewhat strange.

"Forget it, let's go into the mine first to check the situation."

Chen Xu said, "We can also ask that Supervisor Niu he mentioned later."
