The Constable Advancement Path Revealed

Zhang Wei understood a great deal in that instant.

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 he explain Yang Ling transforming into a constable of the Iron Garment Division in such a short time?

Not only had he successfully changed classes, he was also at the terrifying level of 13!?

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

After his rage subsided, Zhang Wei suddenly came back to his senses.

"A constable? That's also an advancement path? Does that mean I can do it too?"

He gradually calmed down and said to the gang leader beside him,

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

"Go on, go on."

The man waved him away.

Zhang Wei quickly found the location of the government office.

When he said he wanted to become a constable, the constable guarding the gate was stunned.

"We aren't recruiting constables here."

"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 Constable Lin approved it? Besides, all our positions have long been filled. Even the only vacancy has already been taken."

The man waved his hand. "Go on, go on. Stop dreaming."

Zhang Wei stood there with a livid expression. Only after several breaths did he turn and leave.

He hadn't expected even becoming a constable to be so difficult.

At that moment, many players had also spotted two newly risen experts on the Divine Realm Level Rankings: Yang Ling and Wu Xiaocheng.

Some of the sharper-minded ones immediately noticed the issue.

"A constable counts as an advancement path too?"

"Great, I have hope of changing classes!"

"This is much easier than joining a sect!"

At the same time, several others on the rankings were also examining the list.

"A constable? Heh, I didn't expect that to work."

"Compared to a sect, this advancement path is somewhat weaker."

"Looks like a lot of people are catching up. I need to level up quickly—I can't let them overtake me!"

"..."

Fire Crystal Mine, Miner Village.

Chen Xu and Officer Chen were eating noodles.

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

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

"Yang Ling."

Chen Xu slurped his noodles as he answered.

Not far away stood Lin Guoliang and the others. Seeing Chen Xu and Officer Chen eating steaming hot plain noodles with even a trace of minced meat on top, their expressions grew increasingly ugly.

"Open the Divine Realm Level Rankings and take a look."

Officer Chen's expression was grave.

Chen Xu said, "Brother Chen, there's nothing worth looking at. The people on there are all gods—we can't compare to them."

"What we need to do now is work hard at mining. I've been getting stronger and stronger lately. I must have leveled up again."

"Even if I can't see my level, mining is still the right thing to do."

"Take a look."

Officer Chen's tone was somewhat strange.

"We might have an acquaintance on there."

"An acquaintance? How is that possible?"

Chen Xu opened the Divine Realm Level Rankings suspiciously.

He went through them one by one. When he saw No. 007, Yang Ling of the Iron Garment Division, the chopsticks in his hand involuntarily fell onto the table.

"Do you think it could be Brother Yang? Maybe he's a player too?"

Officer Chen pondered.

"Probably not... maybe?"

"If he's a player, why didn't Brother Yang want to tell us? Why hide his identity?"

Chen Xu's expression was strange. "And I've never even heard of this Iron Garment Division."

"It would be wonderful if it really were him. Brother Yang is a warmhearted man."

Officer Chen sighed emotionally, then had a thought.

"Did you see it? Constable is also an advancement path."

"A constable..."

"Compared to joining those sects, becoming a constable is more practical. Green Mountain City has constables."

Officer Chen fell into thought.

"If the other colleagues in the rescue team see this news, they should realize it too.

Perhaps this will be our main direction in the future.

If we can become constables, we'll be able to survive better in this world and still have the capacity to help other victims."

"Officer Chen, we're still refugees... Refugees aren't qualified to become constables."

Chen Xu reminded him quietly.

Just thinking about his status as a refugee made him deeply uneasy.

In Miner Village, he could see that the miners with official identities all carried a faint air of pride.

That was because the law protected 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 and walked over with his girlfriend Wu Meng.

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

Lin Guoliang hesitated for a while before speaking slowly.

Wu Meng stared at their noodles and unconsciously swallowed.

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

Chen Xu turned his head and rapidly slurped down the rest of his noodles, ignoring them.

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

Then you'll be able to mine more and more, and three meals a day definitely won't be a problem."

"Mining, mining! Then why didn't Chen Xu tell me earlier that we could level up?"

Lin Guoliang looked at Chen Xu with resentment.

"Why should I tell you? You were even expecting me to support both of you. Do you take me for your servant?"

Chen Xu stood up, his voice cold.

"Fine, fine, I won't argue with you."

Lin Guoliang's eyes flickered. He knew he could no longer beat Chen Xu.

So he looked toward Officer Chen.

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

We can mine, but don't we lack the ability right now?

Our hands split open after mining for a while, our strength runs out, and our bodies ache terribly.

We'll level up slowly. Once we're stronger, we'll be able to support ourselves.

Until then, you need to look after us a little."

Officer Chen couldn't help sighing, then waved his hand.

"My abilities are limited. If you get beaten today, I can still put in a few words for you, but as for filling your stomachs, you'll have to solve that yourselves."

"Have you forgotten your identity!?"

Lin Guoliang's voice suddenly rose several degrees.

It drew the attention of quite a few miners.

"Don't cause trouble!"

Chen Xu's expression changed slightly. He immediately gritted his teeth and took out four copper coins.

"Here. That's enough for two bowls of plain noodles!"

Lin Guoliang looked delighted and was just about to take them when the copper coins in Chen Xu's hand were snatched away by another hand.

"Consider this repayment."

Yang Ling smiled faintly at Chen Xu.

"You still owe me 996 copper coins."

"Brother Yang?"

Chen Xu was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

But when he saw Yang Ling dressed in an official uniform with a saber hanging at his waist, he froze.

All the information about No. 007 on the Divine Realm Level Rankings flooded into his mind.

Officer Chen took a deep breath, feeling excited as well.

He had guessed right. That Yang Ling was this Yang Ling.

"Y-you, what are you doing..."

Lin Guoliang was also intimidated by Yang Ling's bearing and attire, his heart filled with uncertainty.

"If you want to eat, rely on yourself."

Yang Ling smiled. "You can't even support your girlfriend, and you think you deserve to come to the Divine Realm? You might as well kill yourself now."

"What!? You're..."

Lin Guoliang's eyes widened.

Wu Meng was equally incredulous.

They had the same attitude as Chen Xu: they had little interest in the Divine Realm Level Rankings.

Or rather, every time they looked at that ranking, they felt worse and worse, so they simply stopped looking.

That was why they hadn't noticed the changes on it immediately.

"Chen Xu, Officer Chen, let's talk somewhere else."

Yang Ling ignored that fool and smiled faintly at Chen Xu and Officer Chen.
