In front of the pharmacy, a few miners were whispering to each other.

However, they looked different from the miners here.

Their skin was fair and delicate, and there was even a woman among them.

"I told you not to enter the 'Divine Realm,' but you insisted on not listening! Now look at us, we're probably stuck here just like those unlucky ones before us!"

"Who knew this would be real? Now's not the time to talk about this, we need to find a way to survive, right?"

"The news said over thirty thousand people have mysteriously disappeared from our country, probably all ended up in the 'Divine Realm' like us. Who knows if they're still alive..."

"I don't want to be a missing person, I miss my parents, boo hoo..."

The woman started to sob softly.

Yang Ling's expression kept changing.

Missing persons?

Does that mean when he entered the Divine Realm, his body came along too?

"I thought the modeling was just well done..."

This thought flashed by, and Yang Ling's mood grew heavier.

He finally confirmed one thing.

Since his body was his own, if he died in the "Divine Realm," it would be real death!

A cold chill instantly engulfed him.

"What kind of bizarre existence is this 'Divine Realm'..."

"They said over thirty thousand people have gone missing from the country, which means there are over thirty thousand players in the 'Divine Realm.' If you count other countries..."

Yang Ling shivered, not daring to think further.

If all these people died in here, wouldn't the outside world be in chaos?

"Meng Meng, don't worry, the country will definitely handle this, they won't ignore it!"

A handsome man gently comforted the sobbing girl.

Another ordinary-looking man was looking around.

Yang Ling glanced at the attributes of the three.

Like Zhang Wei, these three had nothing unusual in their attributes.

Strength and agility were around two or three points.

Spirit was only 1 or 2 points.

"Including Zhang Wei, the four players I've met so far all have low spirit, but I have 10 points...

Spirit power must be important."

Yang Ling thought to himself.

"Hey, brother, could you lend me some money?"

Suddenly, the one looking around approached Yang Ling, stammering.

He seemed to be trying to blend his tone into the style of this world.

"Who are you to ask for money?"

Yang Ling rolled his eyes.

The other party was clearly like him, treating NPCs as fools when they first entered the "Divine Realm."

"You must be a miner too? So are we, let's get acquainted. Could you lend us some money? We haven't eaten all day and want to buy some buns."

Chen Xu quickly said, "I'm Chen Xu, he's Lin Guoliang, and that's his girlfriend Wu Meng."

Lin Guoliang and Wu Meng looked up immediately when Chen Xu started chatting with the 'NPC.'

"You haven't eaten all day?"

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

Yang Ling looked the three over.

Chen Xu quickly nodded:

"Yes, we're starving..."

"NPCs won't lend us money, don't waste your time."

Lin Guoliang suddenly shook his head.

"What NPC?"

Yang Ling suddenly asked.

Chen Xu's face changed slightly, glaring at Lin Guoliang, and whispered:

"Didn't I tell you not to talk nonsense!?"

The NPCs here were completely different from what they imagined.

This was the first key point they discovered after arriving in the "Divine Realm"!

Sometimes, saying the wrong thing could lead to deadly consequences!

"Friend, please don't mind him, my buddy here isn't too bright, he has issues."

Chen Xu said with an awkward smile.

"Buns in Miner Village cost one copper each."

Yang Ling handed Chen Xu three coppers:

"Buy three buns first, even though there's not much meat inside, just a bit of minced meat, but it'll fill you up."

"We're all refugees, coming to the mine vein to survive and earn money to buy an identity."

"After filling your stomach, go find Steward Niu to get a pickaxe and start mining."

With that, he entered the pharmacy.

Lin Guoliang led Wu Meng forward, somewhat shocked:

"He really lent it? Could this guy be a player like us?"

Chen Xu shook his head slightly: "He doesn't understand what NPC means, so he's not a player, he's a native."

Then he looked at Lin Guoliang, seriously saying:

"Guoliang, we agreed before, until we find a way out, we need to survive here.

If we die here, it might be real death.

This game is strange, we can't treat it with our previous experience.

Don't say things you shouldn't in the future, or you might get us in trouble."

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Lin Guoliang's eyes, but he nodded:

"I understand, let's buy the buns first."

……

……

The pharmacy clerk saw Yang Ling and casually asked:

"What medicine do you want to buy?"

"I'd like ten bottles of Healing Salve."

Yang Ling replied.

One bottle of Healing Salve can restore 10 health points, and ten bottles should be enough for various dangers.

Unfortunately, this pharmacy is too low-level to have better medicine.

"You're not a Mine Vein Guard, why buy so much Healing Salve?"

The clerk was puzzled, muttering softly, but still fetched ten bottles of Healing Salve for Yang Ling.

"Healing Salve (Defective), restores 10 health points."

"That'll be fifty coins."

"Here."

Yang Ling paid and put the Healing Salve into another cloth pouch at his waist, which he prepared specifically for going down the mine.

"By the way, does the pharmacy have any antidote for Mine Bugs?"

Yang Ling asked, glancing around.

"Mine Bugs? Did one crawl out of the cave?"

The clerk was puzzled.

"Someone saw a Mine Bug a few days ago, just to be safe, life is precious after all."

Yang Ling said.

The clerk rummaged through the cabinet and took out a porcelain bottle:

"This is an Antidote Pill Supervisor Wu left here for sale. If bitten by a Mine Bug, it can detoxify.

But it's not effective against all Mine Bug venom, fifty coins a bottle, do you want it?"

"Antidote Pill, 5 pieces."

Yang Ling nodded: "I'll take a bottle."

Leaving the pharmacy, he had ten bottles of Healing Salve and one bottle of Antidote Pills in his pouch.

He had forty-seven coppers left.

Yang Ling immediately headed to a familiar dry food shop.

The biscuits sold here were hard but could last for ten days without spoiling.

"My strength has increased, and my appetite is bigger than before."

"Ten biscuits a day is just right."

"Supervisor Wu wants me to participate in the miners' skill competition in a month..."

"During this time, I can actually come out every four or five days, grind more attribute points."

With this in mind, Yang Ling entered the dry food shop.

He exchanged the remaining coppers for biscuits.

After doing all this, he headed towards the mine vein.

……

……

"These buns taste pretty good, at least I'm seventy percent full."

Lin Guoliang and the others were satisfied.

"Next, we need to go to the mine vein to dig, that person said mining is the only way to earn money and support ourselves."

Chen Xu pondered.

"Chen Xu, do you think that person is like an NPC who gives out quests?"

Lin Guoliang's eyes lit up:

"He also told us we must spend money to buy an identity, this might be a newbie quest in the 'Divine Realm.'"

"We were brought here to mine because of our refugee status, having a normal identity in the Divine Realm is probably very important."

Chen Xu nodded slowly.

"Hey, we don't even know his name, there are so many miners in Miner Village, how will we find him later?"

Lin Guoliang realized.

The three exchanged glances, their expressions a bit strange.

"Forget it, let's check out the mine first."

Chen Xu said: "We can also ask about that Steward Niu he mentioned."
