I have to work for at least three months? Lin Yi was slightly stunned. Not only him, but the rookies beside him who had heard the conversation between the two also had a change in expression. Following that, they began to whisper worriedly.
Three months was neither long nor short. For cultivators with long lifespans, even if three months passed in vain without any harvest, it was not a big deal. But for the rookies present, the meaning of these three months was completely different!
Don't forget, if they want to enter the Blue Cloud Pavilion, they must succeed in building their foundation within a year, and three months is already a quarter of a year!
Once they signed the contract, it meant that in the next three months, compared to newcomers like Xiao Ran who had never come to mine, their cultivation progress would inevitably be slower. After all, even if the spiritual energy in the spirit jade mine was naturally rich, they would not be able to focus on cultivation, and the effect would inevitably be greatly reduced.
But then again, if they could earn enough spiritual jades in these three months, they wouldn't suffer a loss. Because this would lay a solid foundation for their cultivation in the next nine months. At that time, their cultivation would be much better than that of Xiao Ran and the others. It was entirely possible for them to catch up! As long as they succeeded in building their foundation, they would be the victors!
In the end, signing this mining contract was a gamble. If he could gather enough spiritual jades in the next three months, he would win! If the number of Spirit Jades collected was too little, or even if there was no harvest at all, then it would be a loss, and a huge loss at that!
However, if the other rookies could be said to have some wins and losses in this gamble, then for Lin Yi, who was about to be assigned to Mine No. 10, it was a different story. He would lose without a doubt.
In these three months, as long as the others were a little more diligent, they would be able to make it. If he was lucky, he might be able to earn seven or eight pieces of spiritual jades. Even if he was unlucky, he could earn at least four or five pieces. However, in Mining Area No. 10, a notoriously dead mining area, after three months, Lin Yi might not even be able to earn a single piece of spiritual jade.
In fact, according to past experiences, not to mention good jades full of Spiritual Qi, even waste jades with thin Spiritual Qi were scarce in the No. 10 Dead Mining Area. If one wanted to collect 100 pieces of good jades in this kind of place to exchange for rewards, it would be extremely difficult. This was simply a fool's dream.
If it was anyone else who heard of this situation, they would definitely wisely choose to retreat at this moment. It was better to be a coward that ran away at the last moment than to waste three months of precious cultivation time for nothing. If they still braced themselves and continued to fight at this moment, then there was simply something wrong with their brains!
However, Lin Yi had no intention of backing down. He didn't come here for the reward of mining. Since there were very few spirit jades in the tenth dead mine, it was likely that the supervision there would not be as strict as the other mines. Instead, it would be easier for him to tamper with it. In other words, what Lin Yi wanted now was waste jade. If he really traded it for a good mining area with a high yield of spirit jade, he would be closely monitored. That would be troublesome!
However, it was obviously impossible for Senior Brother Bitter Guy to know Lin Yi's plan. Seeing that Lin Yi had a relaxed expression from beginning to end, he couldn't help but anxiously stomp his feet again and again. For Lin Yi, who was one of the few Junior Brothers who respected him from the bottom of his heart, Senior Brother Bitter Guy really didn't want him to suffer losses from the bottom of his heart. Especially when it was such an obvious loss!
He tried to persuade Lin Yi a few more times, but he couldn't persuade him no matter what. In the end, Senior Brother Bitter Guy gritted his teeth and braced himself to walk towards Meng Jueguang and Dai Wuchang.
Seeing Senior Brother Bitter Guy squeezing his way over, Meng Jueguang looked at him in surprise. In the past few years, he was used to seeing Senior Brother Bitter Guy's submissive appearance, but he had never seen such a firm expression on Senior Brother Bitter Guy's face. He even felt a little imposing aura.
This meek trash actually has an imposing aura? Meng Jueguang couldn't help but be amused by this strange thought that emerged from the bottom of his heart. He curled his lips and said, "Junior Brother Bitter Guy, what are you trying to do?"
Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Bitter didn't reply as respectfully as usual. He didn't even look at him. Instead, he directly said to Dai Wuchang, "Senior Brother Dai, please give me a copy of the contract of the seventh mining area!"
"Oh? Could it be that Junior Brother Bitter Guy also wants to mine jade? Could it be that the rules of the Welcome Pavilion have changed, and you, as stewards, can actually accept private work? "Dai Wuchang looked at Senior Brother Bitter Guy strangely.
In order to prevent these stewards from neglecting their duties and neglecting their duty of teaching the newcomers, the Welcome Pavilion clearly stipulated that they were not allowed to accept any private work. After all, they already had a high monthly salary, which was enough for their daily cultivation expenses. If it was said that they were only going to the mine to supervise and maintain the order of the newcomers in Blue Cloud Pavilion, then that was fine. But if they wanted to mine the jade themselves, then that was not allowed.
"No, I am asking for this contract for Junior Brother Lin. According to the rules, any steward has the authority to arrange contracts for the newcomers. There shouldn't be any problem with me doing this, right?"
Under the intense gaze of Meng Jueguang, Senior Brother Bitter Guy finally braced himself and said this. This was the first time in several years that he publicly disobeyed Meng Jueguang's intentions.
"Oh? That's true, but … "Dai Wuchang was stunned, then turned to look at the gloomy expression of Meng Jueguang. Although in theory Senior Brother Bitter Guy did have this authority, it had always been Meng Jueguang who had the final say all these years. How could Senior Brother Bitter Guy have the right to speak?
"As for Lin Yi's arrangement, I have already decided just now. The contract for the tenth mine is prepared for him. Junior Brother Bitter Guy, you don't have to do anything unnecessary." Meng Jueguang looked coldly at Senior Brother Bitter Guy and said. Although he was extremely annoyed, no matter what, the other party was still a steward at the same level as him. He could not directly flip out like he did with the newcomers.
"The tenth mine is publicly recognized as a dead mine. As the steward of the Welcome Pavilion, I have to be responsible for the cultivation of the newcomers. I, I think this is not good for Junior Brother Lin's future cultivation!" Senior Brother Bitter Guy stuttered.
In the face of Meng Jueguang's years of accumulated power, Senior Brother Bitter Guy still felt a little weak in his heart, and even his words were not fluent.
Meng Jueguang bitterly gritted his teeth. Although he wanted to beat this ten-thousand-year-old coward up, with so many people watching, he could only suppress his anger in the bottom of his heart. After all, Senior Brother Bitter Guy's words were not without reason. At this time, let alone making a move, even if he said half a word wrong, it would be spread out that he was deliberately suppressing the newcomers. This was a very fatal stain for the steward.
