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

Originally, Shi Xin was feeling somewhat pleased because this incident wasn't caused by Rong tribe spies.

Hearing Yun Ruo's words, his face immediately turned sour:

"Director Yun Ruo, are you poaching right in front of me?"

"The Second Division needs talents like Yang Ling."

Yun Ruo's expression was serious: "Director Shi, he has a brighter future following me than following you."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the constables present fell into silence.

Lü Zhan and the others exchanged glances, their gazes toward Yang Ling tinged with a trace of envy.

Who in the Ironclad Department's Yamen in Changhe Prefectural Capital didn't know Yun Ruo had connections?

But in the over a year she had been posted here, no one had seen her promote anyone, nor did she have any confidants under her command.

This time, she specifically requested this Yang Ling for the Second Division. Unless something unexpected happened, she was definitely planning to heavily cultivate him!

How could they not envy such an opportunity?

"Director Yun Ruo, you may have some capability, but you truly lack understanding in human relations and worldly affairs."

Yang Ling gently shook his head: "I was promoted single-handedly by Lord Shi. How could I go work under you?"

The frost on Shi Xin's face instantly melted, and he said with a smile:

"Xiao Yang, you've rendered meritorious service today. Once this case is concluded, I will recommend you for a reward."

"My lord, if there's nothing else, may I return first?

I've stayed in Changhe Prefectural Capital for quite a while this time; I need to go back to Green Mountain City."

Yang Ling said, cupping his hands in salute.

"Alright, you go back to Green Mountain City first. But remember what I said, I'll give you at most one year. After a year, you better roll on back to Changhe Prefectural Capital."

Shi Xin said with a beaming smile: "Perhaps within this Ironclad Department, there will be a Director's position waiting for you."

"Hiss—"

Lü Zhan and the others inwardly drew a sharp breath of cold air, their eyes red with envy.

Their dream was to muddle through until after the age of forty and manage to get a Director's position to hold.

That would count as being a local big shot. When going to subordinate cities, they would be treated with great respect.

Now, this Yang Ling was barely over twenty, yet a big shot like Shi Xin had personally promised him a Director's position.

Unless something unexpected happened, this person before them would very likely become their direct superior in the future.

Yun Ruo's face was now like frost. She seemed not to have expected her recruitment attempt to be rejected by the other party without the slightest hesitation.

He even lectured her a bit.

This feeling...

"Angry?"

Yun Ruo looked toward Yang Ling.

The other party had already walked far away. She wanted to call out to him, her lips moved slightly, but in the end, she didn't speak.

At the entrance of the Chu family's house, as soon as Yang Ling stepped over the threshold, Chu Huatian hurriedly ran over and stuffed a wooden box into Yang Ling's arms.

"Lord Yang, thank you!"

Chu Huatian tossed out this sentence and, as if afraid Yang Ling wouldn't accept it, turned and ran.

Yang Ling didn't open the wooden box but stored it in his robe. He slowly strolled toward his residence.

Only after returning to his room did he open the wooden box and take a look.

Ten Foundation Consolidation Pills stood quietly inside.

The medicinal fragrance of the pills was refreshing.

[Foundation Consolidation Pill: Can increase 500 points of cultivation technique experience]

...

Yang Ling glanced over them; they were all normal quality Foundation Consolidation Pills, not defective products.

"A master like Liang Yue, also a Sect Master, only exchanged a three-hundred-year Blood Ginseng for five Foundation Consolidation Pills."

"The Chu family gives ten at once..."

A flicker of emotion passed through Yang Ling's eyes.

On one hand, this showed the Chu family's vast wealth and business, and the help he provided this time was practically a life-saving grace for the Chu family.

On the other hand...

"My identity as an Eighth-Rank Ironclad Constable should have played an even greater role."

"In Zhao State, sects are certainly powerful, but how can sect strength compare to that of a nation?"

"Choosing this path back then was indeed not wrong. From another perspective, the Ironclad Department is no less than a first-rate sect."

"It takes three days to digest one Foundation Consolidation Pill. Ten pills means a month's time."

"I'd better first rush to Level 30, get the treasure chest, and then take these pills."

Thinking this, Yang Ling opened the Divine Realm Level Ranking:

[Divine Realm Level Ranking]

[001: Ironclad Department, Yang Ling, Level 29, Profession: Constable]

[002: Nine Immortals Dao Palace, Lin Caiyi, Level 28, Profession: Daoist]

[003: Extreme Flame Sword Manor, Jiang Tian'ai, Level 28, Profession: Swordsman]

[004: Divine Sect, Zhang Shendao, Level 27, Profession: Assassin]

[005: Arhat Temple, Li Shou, Level 27, Profession: Berserk Monk]

[006: Bitter Awareness Temple, Hui Wu, Level 22, Profession: Martial Monk]

[007: Valley of the Dead, Qi Kai, Level 22, Profession: Medical Apprentice]

[008: Mountain and River Sect, Wu Xiaochen, Level 22, Profession: Blade Guard]

[009: Great Yan Sword Sect, Fang Yun, Level 22, Profession: Swordsman]

[010: Ironclad Department, Qin Mo, Level 20, Profession: Constable]

"The rankings haven't changed much, but Lin Caiyi and the others are chasing closely from behind, obviously also wanting the first-place treasure chest reward."

Based on his speculation, the first-place treasure chest reward would be one level higher than the rewards for others.

Last time, he got a silver treasure chest and obtained the first-rate movement technique Ethereal Steps.

"Hui Wu's leveling speed seems to be getting slower and slower. The former number one..."

Yang Ling thought for a moment, then left the room, just in time to encounter Yunniang who was bringing over a fruit platter.

Yunniang's figure was graceful. Although not young, her appearance was exceptionally delicate.

"No wonder Old Lin keeps her here."

"Lord Yang, please have some fruit."

Yunniang walked up and handed the fruit platter to Yang Ling.

Yang Ling glanced at it and only took one peach. "Yunniang, please tell the Boss for me, I'm returning to Green Mountain City first."

"Lord Yang, you're leaving already? Won't you wait for Master to return?"

Yunniang was somewhat surprised.

Yang Ling smiled: "I'll come again next time."

...

Green Mountain City, Vermilion Gold Mine.

Wu Xiaochen and the others, their faces livid, were confronting a group of miners.

This group of miners was none other than the players led by Luo Yu and others.

"Luo Yu, what exactly do you mean by this?"

Chen Xu said with a grim face: "Eating ours, drinking ours, leveling up quickly by mining here. What more are you dissatisfied with?"

Wang Haodong looked at the other players and said angrily:

"Why are you inciting a strike!? Don't you know that if the Vermilion Gold Mine's output is less than three thousand five hundred jin, Supervisor Yang might be dismissed?"

"Supervisor Yang has only been gone for a few days, and you're already causing trouble like this. It's rather despicable."

Li Tianye said coldly.

A player beside Luo Yu let out a cold laugh:

"What do you mean 'eating yours, drinking yours'? Didn't we put in effort mining?

And the result? How many copper coins can one qian of Vermilion Gold Ore exchange for?

Working ourselves to death all day, only earning a few dozen wen. What's the point!

Meanwhile, you guys are all stuffed full, mouths dripping with oil.

And you've all become constables in Green Mountain City.

Why can only you guys change classes, but we can't!?

Are you planning to continue exploiting us like this?

Don't forget, we're all players. There's no distinction between noble and base. Don't think you can step on our heads and take a dump!"

"That's right! Everything here must be distributed to us fairly!"

"We've also reached Level 10! We want to change classes too!"

"Where's Yang Ling!? Call him back. Isn't he the Chief Constable of Green Mountain City? Tell him to recruit us all as constables!"

The players on the scene were agitated and furious.

Seeing this scene, Wu Xiaochen took a deep breath:

"Changing classes isn't that easy. Green Mountain City's constable positions have quotas.

Even if Brother Yang is the Chief Constable, he can't just fire other constables to recruit you."

"Bullshit! Wu Xiaochen, you're talking bullshit!"

The player beside Luo Yu was furious beyond measure.

Wu Xiaochen forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Luo Yu:

"I heard you were a Senior Inspector in the Emergency Response Department in the real world?

Did you call them all here?

What exactly do you want?"

Luo Yu remained silent for a long time before slowly saying:

"They just want to survive."
