"Luo Yu, I really can't plead this favor for you."

Chen Guoqing, wearing his constable uniform, sat in the host's seat, holding a teacup in his hand, his expression troubled.

Luo Yu and several colleagues were also sitting in the main hall at this moment, and their expressions turned rather unpleasant upon hearing this.

"Chen Guoqing, you're also from our system. Although not the same department, we're still considered one of our own. Can you bear to see us living like this in Green Mountain City?"

One of them couldn't help but say, "Even if we can't get constable positions, at least help us find a way to change classes and level up."

"Actually, you can gain experience from all sorts of professions, it's just a matter of how much and how fast. There's a player named Zhang Wei, currently working as a thug for the Snake Gang. He can also level up by beating up over a dozen people every day."

Chen Guoqing pondered and said, "But you definitely won't do thug work. I can put in a word for you to do loading work at the Snake Gang docks. It's just that the class change issue is indeed very difficult to solve."

"Loading work?"

Luo Yu laughed, a flash of anger in his eyes:

"We're supposed to protect ordinary people who entered the Divine Realm for various reasons. How can we protect them by doing loading work?"

Saying this, Luo Yu sighed:

"Alright, this time a large group of us players were all kicked out by Yang Ling. We plan to establish a gang in Green Mountain City. You're currently managing the Ironclad Department yamen in Green Mountain City for Yang Ling. You step forward and notify the other gangs, have them give up some territory."

"Start a gang? Are you crazy?"

Chen Guoqing's face darkened.

Luo Yu said seriously, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We can't be too pedantic. My gang will specialize in helping players solve livelihood problems from now on. Aren't there more and more players in Green Mountain City now?"

"There are indeed more and more, with dozens of new players appearing every day. These players have been properly settled by us and sent to the various major mine veins under the Mountain and River Sect. At the Vermilion Gold Mine alone, I've sent over four to five hundred more these past days."

Chen Guoqing nodded: "But that's still not a reason for you to start a gang. With me in the Ironclad Department yamen, we can already tend to help those players."

"Are you trying to consolidate power?"

Luo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly:

"In terms of rank, I'm a Senior Inspector, you're just an ordinary police officer, not even an Inspector. You have an obligation to cooperate with me."

He paused, then continued, "As for just surviving, isn't that simple? But our current problem is the class change. Without changing class, no matter what we do, we can't break through the Level 10 threshold."

"Even if we don't break through that threshold, it seems fine, right? At Level 10, attributes have already doubled compared to before, a full 10 attribute points. If all put into Strength, in the real world that would be a superhuman."

Chen Guoqing sighed: "The Divine Realm isn't that simple. You know Hui Wu, the former number one on the Divine Realm Level Ranking? He disappeared from the ranking some time ago. What does that mean? It means he died, just like Luo Kai from the Star Observation Academy back then. This is the cruel Jianghu, completely different from what we were used to."

"All this talk just comes down to consolidating power. Haven't you considered what crimes you and Yang Ling would be sentenced to if the country ever conquers the Divine Realm one day?"

Luo Yu directly slammed a big political label onto them.

Chen Guoqing's expression changed slightly, then he looked at Luo Yu seriously:

"Whether we have problems or not isn't for you to say. On the contrary, in my view, you have very big problems right now!"

Just then, Old Zhao suddenly knocked on the door outside:

"Brother Guoqing, someone is looking for our boss."

Seeing this, Chen Guoqing got up and walked out.

As soon as Wen You saw Chen Guoqing, he smiled and said:

"I am the Director of the Third Division of the Bandit Apprehension Division of the Ironclad Department yamen in Changhe Prefectural Capital..."

"We pay our respects, Sir!"

Chen Guoqing and Old Zhao were slightly startled and hurriedly bowed in greeting.

"...'s son, Wen You."

Wen You said with a smile.

The son of the Director of the Third Division of the Bandit Apprehension Division in Changhe Prefectural Capital?

Luo Yu's expression shifted, and he exchanged glances with his subordinates.

This person's background and origins were quite impressive.

Even if Yang Ling was the Chief Constable of Green Mountain City, he'd probably have to curry favor with this guy upon meeting him!

Chen Guoqing and Old Zhao were somewhat stunned, their expressions odd.

"Where is Chief Constable Yang? I have business with him."

Wen You said with a light smile.

A flash of wariness appeared in Chen Guoqing's eyes as he cautiously asked:

"Might I ask what business you have seeking our Chief Constable?"

Luo Yu's expression moved, and he suddenly walked out, clasping his fists:

"Greetings, Young Master Wen. I am Luo Yu."

"Oh?"

Seeing Luo Yu had an imposing demeanor, Wen You smiled and nodded:

"Greetings, Young Master Luo."

"Young Master Wen, I wish to report Chief Constable Yang Ling of Green Mountain City."

Luo Yu abruptly changed the subject, saying gravely.

Chen Guoqing and Old Zhao were slightly startled.

Wen You was taken aback for a moment, then said seriously:

"Report him for what?"

"For having an unclear background and origin, and thus being unfit to hold the position of Chief Constable."

Luo Yu said slowly.

Chen Guoqing immediately shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Was this guy really planning to target Yang Ling based on his player identity?

Right now, they didn't know why the son of the Director of the Third Division of the Bandit Apprehension Division had come.

If Yang Ling really got into trouble over his background and origins, that would be bad!

"You're reporting Chief Constable Yang's background and origins..."

Wen You looked thoughtful.

Bai Zhixing and Chu Huatian exchanged glances.

"Luo Yu, where are you from?"

Wen You suddenly asked.

"I... am currently still a vagrant. I came today precisely to apply for a formal identity."

Luo Yu said: "Yang Ling was also a vagrant before, so in terms of background..."

"You motherfucker are a vagrant? And you're accusing the Chief Constable of Green Mountain City's Ironclad Department?"

Wen You's expression changed drastically, his hair seeming to stand on end with rage:

"Men, seize him and give him thirty strokes of the rod!"

Luo Yu was slightly shocked.

Old Zhao wasted no words and immediately called in the constables from outside.

Luo Yu, shocked and suspicious, said, "Sir, even if I want to report Yang Ling, surely you don't need to beat me without even investigating?!"

"Which backwater did you crawl out from?

You, a vagrant, want to accuse an official?"

Wen You laughed in extreme anger: "Chief Constable Yang is an Eighth-Rank Ironclad! Do you know what that rank represents?!"

At this moment, Luo Yu suddenly took a sharp breath of cold air. He had always believed that everyone was a player, and status should be calculated according to reality.

But he never expected that in the eyes of the natives here, Yang Ling was already an official...

Luo Yu immediately forced a smile: "That was just a joke earlier. Actually, Chief Constable Yang and I are also acquaintances."

"Oh?"

Wen You looked at Chen Guoqing and Old Zhao.

Old Zhao didn't dare say anything.

Chen Guoqing said indifferently, "He used to work at the Vermilion Gold Mine. Out of personal selfishness, he incited the miners under him to strike. Chief Constable Yang kicked them out."

"So that's how it is. An ungrateful wretch."

Wen You looked at Luo Yu with a faint, mocking smile:

"My Brother Yang is considered a notable figure even in the Prefectural Capital. You really don't want to live.

Fortunately, this is the Ironclad Department. If you were outside and fell into my hands, I'd have you executed by sky lantern."

Then he instructed Chen Guoqing:

"Deal with him according to the rules."

Chen Guoqing gave a slight nod.

Seeing this, the constables under him immediately swarmed forward like wolves and tigers, seizing Luo Yu and the others and dragging them away.

It wasn't until Luo Yu heard Wen You call out "Brother Yang" that he snapped back to reality. He had misunderstood from start to finish. He thought the other party had come to cause trouble for Yang Ling, but the result was...

"Where is Brother Yang?"

Wen You asked.

Chen Guoqing: "Chief Constable Yang is at the Vermilion Gold Mine. I was just about to head over there myself. If Young Master Wen doesn't mind, we can go together."

"Of course I don't mind! Quickly, lead the way!"

Wen You urged with a laugh.

Yang Ling slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
