At that moment, Zhang Wei had already figured out a lot.
From the very beginning, Yang Ling's level had been far higher than his.
He had probably even become a Martial Artist before Zhang Wei did!
Otherwise, how could Yang Ling have become a constable in the Iron Clothes Department in such a short time?
Not only had he successfully changed classes, but he was also a terrifying level 13!?
"I'm only level 5! Damn Yang Ling!"
After his anger subsided, Zhang Wei suddenly came to his senses.
"A constable? That's a Class Transfer Path too? Could I do it as well?"
He gradually calmed down and said to the gang leader beside him:
"Boss, I need to go out for a bit."
"Go ahead."
The other man waved him off.
Zhang Wei soon found the local government office.
When he said he wanted to become a constable, the constable guarding the door was stunned:
"We're not recruiting constables."
"How can you not be recruiting!?"
Zhang Wei frowned.
"You think just anyone can become a constable? Do you have a letter of recommendation? Has Captain Lin approved it? Besides, we're already full. We've even filled the one vacancy."
The other man waved him away. "Go on, get out of here. Stop dreaming."
Zhang Wei stood there with a grim expression. Only after several moments did he turn and leave.
He hadn't expected that even becoming a constable would be so difficult.
At that moment, many other Players saw two new experts on the Divine Realm Rank List: Yang Ling and Wu Xiaochen.
Some of the more perceptive ones immediately realized what was going on.
"Being a constable counts as a Class Transfer Path?"
"Great! Now I have a chance to change classes!"
"This is much easier than joining a sect!"
At the same time, the other people on the rankings were also checking the list.
"A constable? Heh, I hadn't thought of that."
"Compared to joining a sect, this Class Transfer Path is a little weak."
"Looks like a lot of people are catching up. I need to level up fast—I can't let them overtake me!"
"..."
Fire Crystal Mine, Miner's Village.
Chen Xu and Officer Chen were eating noodles.
Suddenly, Officer Chen's expression shifted. He glanced at Chen Xu.
"What was Brother Yang's full name again?"
"Yang Ling," Chen Xu replied as he slurped his noodles.
Not far away stood Lin Guoliang and the others. Seeing that Chen Xu and Officer Chen could eat steaming hot noodles with a little minced meat on top, their expressions grew even more sour.
"Take a look at the Divine Realm Rank List."
Officer Chen's expression was grave.
"Brother Chen, there's nothing worth looking at. The people on there are practically gods. We can't compare."
"What we need to do now is work hard at mining. I've been getting stronger lately. I must've leveled up again."
"We can't see our levels, but mining is the right thing to do."
"Just take a look."
Officer Chen's tone was a little strange.
"Someone we know might be on there."
"Someone we know? How could that be?"
Chen Xu opened the Divine Realm Rank List, puzzled.
He scanned the names one by one. When he saw 007, Iron Clothes Department Yang Ling, the chopsticks in his hand slipped and fell onto the table.
"Do you think it could be Brother Yang? What if he's a Player too?"
Officer Chen mused.
"Not very... likely, right?"
"If he's a Player, why wouldn't Brother Yang tell us? Why hide his identity?"
Chen Xu looked bewildered. "And I've never even heard of this Iron Clothes Department."
"If it really is him, that'd be great. Brother Yang is a kindhearted man."
Officer Chen sighed, then suddenly had a thought.
"Did you see? Being a constable is a Class Transfer Path too."
"A constable..."
"Compared to joining those sects, becoming a constable is more practical. There are constables right here in Qingshan City."
Officer Chen pondered.
"If the other members of the rescue team see this news, they should realize it too.
Maybe this will be our main path from now on.
If we can become constables, we'll be able to survive better in this world and have the means to help other victims."
"Officer Chen, we're still refugees... Refugees aren't eligible to become constables."
Chen Xu reminded him quietly.
The thought of being a refugee made him uneasy.
In Miner's Village, he could see that the miners with official status all had a faint air of pride about them.
That was because the law applied to them.
But refugees... if they died, they died. They didn't even have an identity, and the government office wouldn't care.
Just then, Lin Guoliang finally couldn't hold back any longer. He came over with his girlfriend, Wu Meng.
"Chen Xu, I was wrong before. I admit it."
Lin Guoliang fidgeted for a while before finally speaking.
Wu Meng stared at their noodles and swallowed instinctively.
"Could you treat us to a bowl..."
Chen Xu turned away and slurped up the rest of his noodles in a few mouthfuls, ignoring them.
Officer Chen said seriously, "You two need to mine. Mining will help you level up and get stronger.
"That way, you'll be able to mine more and more, and you'll definitely have enough for three meals a day."
"Mine, mine! But why didn't Chen Xu tell me earlier that mining could help you level up?"
Lin Guoliang looked at Chen Xu with resentment.
"Why should I tell you? You even expected me to support both of you. What am I, your servant?"
Chen Xu stood up and said coldly.
"Fine, fine, I'm not going to argue with you."
Lin Guoliang's eyes shifted. He knew he couldn't beat Chen Xu anymore.
So he turned to Officer Chen.
"Officer Chen, you can't just let us go hungry, can you?
"We know we need to mine, but we don't have the strength for it yet.
"Our hands get cut up after mining for a while, and we run out of strength. Our whole bodies ache.
