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

Near the docks of Green Mountain City, a mansion stood brightly lit.

Over a hundred Snake Gang disciples lined up on both sides, waiting with Qi Dalong for the arrival of an honored guest.

Zhang Wei stood beside Qi Dalong at this moment, his eyes flickering with uncertainty and apprehension.

Before this, he had already heard that the honored guest they were to receive today was Green Mountain City's new Chief Constable, Yang Ling!

He found it hard to believe. How long had it been since the other party left the Fire Crystal Rock mine? And now he was already a major figure in Green Mountain City?

Besides Zhang Wei, dozens of other players were also mixed into the crowd.

They had all been recruited by Zhang Wei. Their expressions were somewhat excited now, completely unaware of who was coming, but certain it was definitely a big shot!

"Zhang Wei, since Chief Constable Yang had a fellow-worker relationship with you before, you will be responsible for accompanying him during the meal later," Qi Dalong said, his hands tucked into his sleeves, his body standing ramrod straight, his face expressionless.

As soon as these words were spoken, several minor leaders nearby revealed looks of envy and jealousy.

"Yes."

He felt somewhat uneasy in his heart. If it really was Yang Ling, would the other party give him any face?

With the other party's status, a few casual bad words about him, and he'd probably be thrown into the river by the Snake Gang.

At that moment, a figure approached from the distance. Zhang Wei had no time for wild thoughts and immediately focused his gaze, only for his already suspended heart to drop completely.

It really was Yang Ling!

"Hahaha, Chief Constable Yang gracing us with your presence truly brings radiance to this humble place!" Qi Dalong instantly shed his previous cold demeanor, laughing heartily as he led his men forward to greet him.

Everyone's eyes collectively fell upon this young man. Dressed in an official uniform, his posture was upright, and he walked with a powerful, imposing stride, causing a slight sense of awe to stir in their hearts.

Yang Ling scanned the attributes of everyone present at the fastest speed possible, distinguishing the local natives from the players.

Then, without even glancing at the guilty-looking Zhang Wei, he greeted Qi Dalong with a smile.

"Chief Qi inviting me to a banquet today is my honor. Please don't be so polite."

After a round of pleasantries, the group entered the mansion.

Qi Dalong had indeed prepared meticulously. As soon as they took their seats, the table was filled with wine and dishes.

"Zhang Wei, wasn't Chief Constable Yang your colleague at the Fire Crystal Rock mine?"

"Offer him a toast."

Qi Dalong shot a glance at Zhang Wei.

A flash of embarrassment crossed Zhang Wei's face. He immediately raised his wine cup, forcing an awkward smile toward Yang Ling.

"Brother Yang, I... I offer you a toast."

"On official duty, no drinking."

Yang Ling replied with a faint smile.

Zhang Wei, holding the wine cup, felt awkward whether he sat or stood, utterly mortified for a moment.

A flicker passed through Qi Dalong's eyes, and he immediately laughed heartily.

"Zhang Wei, go make some tea."

"Yes!"

Zhang Wei sighed with relief. The moment he turned around, his face had already turned ashen.

Next, Qi Dalong seized Yang Ling to chat about matters related to Green Mountain City.

For example, what the Snake Gang mainly did for a living was managing part of the river transport, with laborers under their command.

They also provided security and protection services. The entire Green Mountain City had four to five hundred Snake Gang disciples, making them a significant force. All parties had to show them some face.

As he spoke, Qi Dalong seemed to casually laugh and say,

"Previously, I did business a few times with Supervisor Wu Que from the Fire Crystal Rock mine, but I haven't seen him around lately."

He paused, then looked at Yang Ling.

"Chief Constable Yang must also know Supervisor Wu, right?"

Yang Ling suddenly understood inwardly. So it was still about this matter concerning Wu Que.

But he felt some suspicion. Wu Man came to seek revenge on him, and now this Qi Dalong was trying to sound him out to find out where Wu Que was. Could it be...

"Wu Que was at the Fire Crystal Rock mine for so many years. The money he got from secretly selling the Fire Crystal Rock should actually belong to the Rong tribe.

Could it be that a sum of money wasn't delivered, and the Rong tribe side is trying to recover it?"

Yang Ling maintained his composure and smiled.

"Of course I know Supervisor Wu. Back then, he even tried to get me to participate in an Ore Competition match."

"Oh?"

Qi Dalong's expression shifted slightly. "And what was the result of that competition later..."

"Didn't go later. Supervisor Wu said he had something to do and left first. However..."

Yang Ling looked Qi Dalong up and down.

"Supervisor Wu has been confirmed to be a Rong tribe spy. Why is Chief Qi so interested in him?"

Zhang Wei, who was pouring tea, froze slightly. Rong tribe spy?

He suddenly thought of something, and his heart gave a slight tremble.

"It's not Qi Dalong who's interested in him, but I am."

A figure walked out from behind the main hall.

Qi Dalong immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Honored Superior."

Yang Ling swept a glance at the other person and opened his Status Panel.

Character: Tie Xinghu

Profession: Martial Artist

Strength: 41

Agility: 22

Spirit: 10

Martial Arts: Seven-Inch Fist (Skilled)

Boulder Crushing Fist (Skilled)

Mixed Iron Technique (Comprehensive Mastery)

Affiliation: Giant Spirit Sect

"This guy's attribute points are only slightly weaker than Shi Xin's, and a notch stronger than Wu Man's."

Yang Ling remained calm on the surface. "And you are?"

Tie Xinghu looked at Yang Ling with a half-smile.

"You're an unregistered Ninth-Rank, right? No wonder Wu Man died at your hands. Your strength should be close to Eighth-Rank, correct?"

Zhang Wei, at this moment, didn't know what was happening, but he also sensed something was wrong and wanted to leave. He abruptly realized the entire front hall was already surrounded by swordsmen.

He recognized at a glance that these swordsmen were all Qi Dalong's trusted subordinates, essentially dead soldiers!

"I'm done for!"

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Wei's forehead.

"It seems you are also a Giant Spirit Sect Martial Artist, a Rong tribe spy."

Yang Ling nodded thoughtfully, then swept his gaze over Qi Dalong.

"Qi Dalong, are you also a Rong tribe spy?"

Qi Dalong smiled faintly. "A dead man walking, why ask so many questions?

From now on, answer the Honored Superior's questions properly, and I can grant you a quick death."

"If I die here, your Snake Gang won't survive either, will it?"

Yang Ling frowned.

Tie Xinghu chuckled. "No matter. Too many Giant Spirit Sect Martial Artists have died by your hand this time. The Sect Master has ordered your head. Sacrificing one Snake Gang is nothing."

"You want my head? Just with you?"

Yang Ling said, "Isn't this a bit too rash? The Qi Dalong beside you has mediocre skills, and these swordsmen are all a joke. Do you think they can be of any help?"

"Once I capture you, you'll know that in front of an Eighth-Rank, you should speak on your knees."

A faint layer of blood aura suddenly surged from Tie Xinghu's body.

At this moment, he had already activated the Mixed Iron Technique and simultaneously launched an attack toward Yang Ling using Boulder Crushing Fist.

His originally 41-point Strength instantly skyrocketed to 63 points!

"Boulder Crushing Fist is at the Skilled level, giving him a 12-point boost. That leaves 10 points as the attribute increase from the Mixed Iron Technique."

"It really is a garbage cultivation technique, only able to increase attributes by this much."

Yang Ling watched Tie Xinghu calmly. The other party's current strength had already been seen through by him.

His Agility had also increased, but only by 10 points.

32 points of Agility would be more than sufficient to deal with ordinary Martial Artists.

But now...

A layer of blood aura also suddenly surged from Yang Ling's body.

The Vajra Bright King Technique slowly activated.

His Agility instantly reached 53.

Immediately after, he executed Ethereal Steps, and his Agility increased by another 24 points.

Like a gust of violent wind, he arrived belatedly yet first, appearing right in front of Tie Xinghu.

Tie Xinghu was still in the motion of throwing a punch, his attack not even launched yet.

His skin glowed with a blood aura and a metallic sheen.

The Mixed Iron Technique had made his current defensive power extremely high.

However, Yang Ling's current Strength was no longer as low as it once was.

Swinging the Vermilion Gold Pickaxe!

[Frenzied Ten-Strike Combo]

Thud thud thud!

Yang Ling put away the Vermilion Gold Pickaxe and sat back down in his original seat.

Tie Xinghu's eyes were wide open, fixed unblinkingly on Yang Ling.

"You..."

A trickle of brain matter flowed down from between his eyebrows. His massive body collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Simultaneously, Yang Ling once again received a massive amount of experience, surging like a tidal wave of energy, pouring into his body.
