Yang Ling quickly took a shower, then began practicing the Vajra Mingwang Technique.
After gaining 13 Experience Points, he continued practicing the Thief-Catching Saber Technique.
He wasn't in a hurry to improve his Martial Skill anymore. He could take his time with it.
As long as he kept up with the Vajra Mingwang Technique, that was enough.
Six hours later, night had fallen.
But the area in front of Mine Tunnel No. 1 was brightly lit.
Countless miners stood waiting for Yang Ling, torches in hand.
"Four or five hundred..."
Chen Xu clicked his tongue in disbelief.
Soon, Yang Ling appeared. All the miners turned to look at him, their eyes filled with awe.
"You've all decided to go down into the mine with me?"
Yang Ling glanced over the unfamiliar faces.
"Supervisor Yang, we've thought it through. If you're not afraid of the dangers in the mine, then neither are we. We can make a fortune by going down there with you. We can't let this opportunity pass us by!"
"Good. Enough talk. Let's head down."
Holding a torch, Yang Ling led the way.
At the sight, even the miners who had still been wavering immediately perked up!
With the supervisor leading the way, what did they have to fear?
From a distance, Fang Qingyang watched, his expression dark.
"Steward Fang, what do we do now?"
One steward's eyes flickered.
"If this keeps up, it won't be long before we can't carry out Senior Brother Yang's instructions."
As stewards here, they had already looked into the Red Gold Mine's potential.
If ten thousand miners went into the mine together, forget 3,500 catties—even a monthly output of 7,000 catties might be possible!
"Senior Brother Yang taught me one last method."
Fang Qingyang's eyes flickered.
"This method will be enough to put an end to this matter. After that, no miner will want to go down into the mine again."
"What method?"
The steward asked without thinking.
Fang Qingyang glanced at him, a half-smile on his face.
"Why ask so many questions?"
The other man stiffened slightly, then gave an awkward laugh.
"I spoke out of turn."
[Crazy Ten Consecutive Strikes] [Crazy Ten Consecutive Strikes] [Crazy Ten Consecutive Strikes]
This time, Yang Ling went deeper into the mine. He found a Red Gold Mine deposit and focused on mining it.
Mine Tunnel No. 1 was enormous. Even with four or five hundred people pouring in, it still felt spacious.
There was no shortage of resources. Everyone could find enough Red Gold Mine to keep them digging for days and nights!
"Clink, clink!"
"Clink, clink!"
The Red Gold Crane-Mouth Hoe in Yang Ling's hands blurred with speed.
Chen Xu and the others had already grown used to the sight and were practically immune to it.
But the miners who had only decided that very day to go into the mine were all left stunned, staring blankly at Yang Ling.
Only now did they believe that Yang Ling really could mine thirteen catties of Red Gold Mine in a single day!
He was practically not human!
"Get to work. Since you're here, do your best to earn some money," Chen Guoqing called out to them.
"Right, right!"
"Let's get digging!"
Before long, they got into the rhythm.
Hundreds of miners were all hard at work.
A miner who looked to be in his early twenties gradually made his way into a side passage with few people in it as he dug.
Then he continued farther in.
Only after no one was left behind him did he break into a slow jog.
He ran to a spot he had marked in advance, then cautiously took a wooden box from his waist.
Inside, when he opened it, lay a mineral that glimmered with light.
"Red Gold Ore Essence."
The miner murmured to himself. A flash of greed crossed his eyes, but in the end, he set it on the ground.
After that, he retraced his steps.
Not long after he left, a black mantis the size of a fist leaped over.
One, two, three...
They gathered around the Red Gold Ore Essence, seemingly gnawing at it and feeding.
The miner proceeded cautiously, keeping an eye on his surroundings. When he was about to return to his original spot, he finally began to relax.
"Hey, why'd you go so far inside? Is there a big deposit over there?"
Chen Xu asked curiously.
Seeing that it was Chen Xu, the miner tensed slightly. He was one of Supervisor Yang's personal attendants!
He gave an awkward laugh. "I went in and looked around, but couldn't find any good Red Gold Mine."
Chen Xu didn't think much of it. He nodded and continued digging.
Yang Ling had been mining for half a day when a clear, pleasant chime suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, you've leveled up! You've received 1 Free Attribute Point!"
"I leveled up? That's fast. All told, I've been mining for about two and a half days this time, right?"
Yang Ling felt a small surge of happiness.
The Experience Points from Red Gold Mine really were substantial!
He immediately assigned the Attribute Point to his Spirit.
A warm current welled up inside him, then finally converged between his brows.
Yang Ling felt his perception improve slightly, and his thoughts grow clearer.
He opened the Attribute Panel and took a look:
Character: Yang Ling Class: Constable Level: 16 Strength: 11 Agility: 5 Spirit: 28 Exclusive Skill: Insight Martial Arts: Vajra Mingwang Technique (First Glimpse of the Door) Experience Points: 218/1000 Collapse Mountain Fist (Mastery Through Practice) Proficiency: 102/10000 Thief-Catching Saber Technique (First Glimpse of the Door) Proficiency: 146/1000 Health Points: 210
"I'm level 16. If I gain four more levels, maybe I'll get another Random Treasure Chest."
Yang Ling looked forward to it.
At this rate, it would take another ten days or half a month to reach level 20.
He opened the Divine Realm Rank List:
[Divine Realm Rank List] [001: Nine Immortal Dao Palace, Lin Caiyi, Level 19, Class: Daoist] [002: Extreme Flame Sword Mansion, Jiang Tian'ai, Level 18, Class: Swordsman] [003: Divine Sect, Zhang Shendao, Level 18, Class: Assassin] [004: Arhat Temple, Li Shou, Level 17, Class: Berserk Monk] [005: Ku Jue Temple, Hui Wu, Level 16, Class: Warrior Monk]
