Constable's Path Revealed

Zhang Wei understood a great deal in that instant.

From the very beginning, Yang Ling's level had been far above his.

He might even have become a Martial Artist long before Zhang Wei!

How else could he explain the other man suddenly transforming into a constable of the Iron Clothes Department in such a short time?

Not only had he successfully transferred class, but his level was a terrifying 13!?

"I'm only level 5! Damn you, Yang Ling!"

After his anger subsided, Zhang Wei suddenly snapped back to reality.

"A constable? That's also a Class Transfer Path? Then can I do it too?"

He gradually calmed down and said to the thug leader beside him:

"Boss, I need to step out for a bit."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

The other man waved his hand.

Zhang Wei quickly found the yamen's location.

When he expressed his desire to become a constable, the guard at the door was stunned:

"We're not taking constables here."

"How can you not be taking them!?"

Zhang Wei frowned.

"You think anyone can be a constable? Do you have a letter of introduction? Has Captain Lin given his approval? Besides, our slots have been full for a long time, and the only vacancy has already been filled."

The other man waved his hand: "Go on, go on. Don't get any wild ideas."

Zhang Wei stood there, face ashen. After a few breaths, he turned and left.

He hadn't expected that even becoming a constable would be this difficult.

At that time, many Players had also spotted the two newly risen Experts on the Divine Realm Rank List: Yang Ling and Wu Xiaochen.

Among them, some sharp-eyed individuals immediately noticed the issue.

"A constable counts as a Class Transfer Path too?"

"Great, I have hope for a class transfer!"

"This is way simpler than joining a sect!"

At the same time, the others on the rank list were also checking the rankings.

"A constable? Hah, never thought that would work."

"Compared to joining a sect, this Class Transfer Path is a bit weaker."

"It looks like a lot of people are catching up. I need to level up quickly and not let them overtake me!"

"..."

Fire Crystal Mine, Miner's Village.

Chen Xu and Officer Chen were eating noodles.

Suddenly, Officer Chen's expression shifted slightly. He glanced at Chen Xu:

"What was that Brother Yang's full name again?"

"Yang Ling."

Chen Xu said while slurping his noodles.

Not far away stood Lin Guoliang and the others. Seeing Chen Xu and the other man eating steaming hot plain noodles with a bit of minced meat on top, their expressions grew even uglier.

"Open the Divine Realm Rank List and take a look."

Officer Chen said gravely.

Chen Xu: "Brother Chen, there's nothing worth seeing there. The people on it are all Immortals—we can't compare."

"Right now, all we need to do is focus on mining. I've been getting stronger lately; I must have leveled up again."

"I can't see my level, but mining is the way to go."

"Just take a look."

Officer Chen's tone was strange:

"There might be someone we know on it."

"Someone we know? How is that possible?"

Chen Xu skeptically opened the Divine Realm Rank List.

He read through them one by one. When he saw 007 and Iron Clothes Department Yang Ling, the chopsticks in his hand slipped and clattered onto the table.

"Could it be that Brother Yang is actually a Player too?" Officer Chen murmured thoughtfully.

"Not... likely, right?"

"If he's a Player, why wouldn't Brother Yang tell us? Why hide his identity?"

Chen Xu's expression twisted. "Besides, I've never even heard of this Iron Clothes Department."

"If it really were him, that'd be great. Brother Yang's a warm-hearted guy."

Officer Chen sighed, then had a sudden thought:

"See that? Constable is a Class Transfer Path too."

"Constable..."

"Compared to joining those sects, Constable is more practical. Qingshan City has Constables."

Officer Chen mused:

"If other colleagues from the rescue team see this message, they should catch on too.

Maybe this is our main direction from now on.

Becoming a Constable means surviving better in this world, with enough leeway to help other victims."

"Officer Chen, we're still Refugees right now... Refugees aren't qualified to be Constables."

Chen Xu reminded him quietly.

The thought of being a Refugee made him deeply uneasy.

In Miner's Village, he could see that even the miners with official status carried a faint air of pride.

That's because the law could actually protect them.

But refugees... dead is dead, without even an identity. The yamen wouldn't bother.

Just then, Lin Guoliang finally couldn't hold back anymore. He walked over with his girlfriend Wu Meng.

"Chen Xu, I was wrong before. I admit it."

Lin Guoliang fidgeted for a moment before speaking slowly.

Wu Meng stared at their bowls of noodles and swallowed instinctively:

"Could you treat us to a bowl..."

Chen Xu turned away, slurped down his noodles in a few bites, and ignored them.

Officer Chen said seriously, "You two, you need to mine. Mining lets you Level Up and increase your strength.

That way you can dig more and more, and three meals a day won't be a problem."

"Mining, mining! But why didn't Chen Xu tell me earlier that you could Level Up?"

Lin Guoliang glared at Chen Xu with resentment.

"Why should I tell you? You were even counting on me to support the both of you. Do you think I'm your servant?"

Chen Xu stood up, his voice cold.

"Fine, fine, I'm not going to argue with you."

Lin Guoliang's eyes flickered. He knew he couldn't beat Chen Xu anymore.

So he turned to Officer Chen:

"Officer Chen, you can't just let us starve, can you?

We'll mine, but we don't have the ability yet.

After a little digging, our hands are torn, our strength is spent, and our bodies ache all over."
