Outside the pharmacy, several Miners were whispering.
It is just that their appearances looked somewhat different from the Miners here.
Their skin was fair and tender, and there was even a female among them.
"I told you not to enter 【Divine Realm】, but you guys refused to believe me! Look at us now, I'm afraid we'll end up just like that previous batch of unlucky bastards, unable to go back!"
"Who knew this thing was real? Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to find a way to survive, right?"
"The news said that our country has inexplicably had more than 30,000 people go missing. I am afraid they all came to 【Divine Realm】 just like us, and I don't know if they are still alive..."
"No, I don't want to be a missing person! I miss my mom and dad, wuwuwu..."
That female began to sob softly.
Yang Ling's expression changed repeatedly.
Missing persons?
In other words, after he entered Divine Realm, even his physical body came in with him?
"I thought the character modeling was well done..."
This thought flashed through his mind, and Yang Ling's mood grew increasingly heavy.
He finally confirmed one point.
Since his body was his own, if he died in 【Divine Realm】, he would truly die!
A bone-chilling cold instantly submerged him.
"What kind of bizarre existence is this 【Divine Realm】...?"
"Hearing them say that the country has over 30,000 missing people means there are more than 30,000 players currently in 【Divine Realm】. If we count other countries..."
Yang Ling shuddered, not daring to think any further.
If all these people died inside here, wouldn't the outside world fall into chaos?
"Mengmeng, rest assured, the country will definitely handle this matter and will never ignore it!"
The handsome-looking male softly comforted the sobbing female.
Another ordinary-looking male was looking around.
Yang Ling glanced at the attributes of the three people.
Just like Zhang Wei, the attributes of these three people had nothing out of the ordinary.
Strength and Agility were both around two to three points.
Spirit was also only 1 or 2 points.
"Including Zhang Wei, the four players I have seen so far all have very low Spirit, yet I have 10 points... Mental Strength is probably very important."
Yang Ling's heart stirred.
"T-This brother, can you lend me some money?"
Suddenly, the one who had been looking around walked up to Yang Ling and said stammeringly.
He seemed to be trying his best to make his tone blend into the style of this world.
"Who even are you, asking to borrow money?"
Yang Ling rolled his eyes.
The other party was clearly just like him when he first entered 【Divine Realm】, treating all NPCs like fools.
"Brother should also be a Miner? We are too. Then let us get acquainted now, can Brother lend us some money? We have been hungry for a day and want to eat some steamed buns."
Chen Xu hastily said: "My name is Chen Xu, he is called Lin Guoliang, and that is his girlfriend named Wu Meng."
Seeing Chen Xu trying to strike up a conversation with an 'NPC', Lin Guoliang and Wu Meng immediately looked over.
"You guys have been hungry for a day?"
Chen Xu hastily nodded:
"That is right, we are about to starve to death..."
"NPCs will not lend us money, do not waste your time."
Lin Guoliang suddenly shook his head.
"What NPC?"
Yang Ling suddenly asked.
Chen Xu's expression changed slightly, he glared fiercely at Lin Guoliang, and whispered:
"Did I not tell you not to speak recklessly!?"
The NPCs here were completely different from what they had imagined.
This was the first crucial point they discovered after coming to 【Divine Realm】!
Sometimes, if a sentence was said inappropriately, it could very well invite fatal disaster!
"Friend, please do not mind it. My childhood friend's brain does not work too well, there is something wrong with it."
Chen Xu laughed awkwardly.
"The steamed buns of the Miner Village are one copper coin each."
Yang Ling handed Chen Xu three copper coins:
"You guys go buy three steamed buns first. Although there is not much meat filling inside, only a tiny bit of minced meat, it can still fill you up."
"Everyone is a vagrant; coming to the mine vein is just to survive and make money to buy an identity."
"After filling your stomachs, go find Steward Niu to collect a pickaxe, and then go mine."
After saying that, he entered the pharmacy.
Lin Guoliang brought Wu Meng forward, somewhat shocked:
"He actually lent it? Could this guy be a player like us?"
Chen Xu gently shook his head: "He does not understand what NPC means, which shows he is not a player, but a native resident."
Afterwards, he looked at Lin Guoliang and said earnestly:
"Guoliang, we already agreed before that before finding a way out, we will survive here first."
"If we die here, it is very likely we will truly die."
"This game is not right; we cannot treat it using past experience."
"In the future, you must not say things that should not be said, lest you harm us."
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Lin Guoliang's eyes, but he still nodded:
"I know, let us buy the steamed buns first."
...
The pharmacy clerk saw Yang Ling and asked casually:
"What medicine do you want to buy?"
"I want ten bottles of Golden Wound Medicine."
Yang Ling said.
A bottle of Golden Wound Medicine can restore 10 points of HP, and ten bottles can basically cope with various perils.
It is a pity that this pharmacy's level is too low, there are no better medicines.
"You are not a Mine Guard, why are you buying so much Golden Wound Medicine?"
The clerk was slightly stunned and muttered softly, but still got ten bottles of Golden Wound Medicine for Yang Ling.
"Many thanks for your patronage, fifty copper coins."
"Here you go."
Yang Ling paid the money and put the Golden Wound Medicine into another cloth pouch at his waist, which he had specially prepared for going down the mine.
"Right, does the pharmacy have any antidote for Mine Bugs?"
Yang Ling asked another question, his gaze looking around.
"Mine Bugs? Did Mine Bugs run out from the cave?"
The clerk was somewhat puzzled.
"A few days ago, someone seemed to have seen a Mine Bug. Just to be safe, after all, one's little life is important."
Yang Ling said.
The clerk immediately rummaged through the cabinet, and then took out a porcelain bottle:
"This is the Antidote Pill specifically placed here for sale by Supervisor Wu. If bitten by a Mine Bug, it can detoxify."
"But it is not effective against the venom of all Mine Bugs. One bottle is fifty copper coins, do you want it?"
【5 Antidote Pills】
Yang Ling nodded: "Give me a bottle."
Coming out of the pharmacy, his cloth pouch had ten more bottles of Golden Wound Medicine and a bottle of Antidote Pills.
Forty-seven copper coins remained.
Yang Ling immediately walked towards a familiar dry ration shop.
The flatbreads sold here were very hard, but could be stored for ten days or so without spoiling.
"My strength has increased now, and my appetite has also become bigger than before."
"Eating ten flatbreads a day is just right."
"Supervisor Wu asked me to participate in the skill exchange between Miners a month later..."
"During this period, I can actually come out once every four to five days to grind out more attribute points."
Thinking of this, Yang Ling walked into the dry ration shop.
Exchanged all the remaining copper coins for flatbreads.
After finishing all this, he walked towards the direction of the mine vein.
...
"These steamed buns taste pretty good, I finally ate seven parts full."
Lin Guoliang and the other three were fully satisfied.
"Next, we are going to mine in the mine vein. That person said mining is the only way to make money to support oneself."
Chen Xu pondered and said.
"Chen Xu, don't you think that person looks like an NPC who gives out quests?"
Lin Guoliang's expression stirred:
"He also told us that we must spend money to buy an identity. This might be a beginner quest of 【Divine Realm】."
"We were arrested and brought here to mine precisely because of our identity as vagrants. I reckon having a normal identity in Divine Realm is very important."
Chen Xu slowly nodded.
"Sigh, I still do not know what his name is. There are so many Miners in this Miner Village, how are we going to find him then?"
Lin Guoliang reacted.
The three of them looked at each other, their expressions somewhat peculiar.
"Forget it, let us go into the mine to check out the situation first."
Chen Xu: "At that time, we can also ask about that Steward Niu he mentioned."
