If the margin of error was five taels, then it shouldn't be too big of a problem! Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. As a Foundation Establishment Early-stage expert, his sensitivity to weight was far above ordinary people. According to his estimation, the difference in weight between the eight pieces of spirit jades filled with spiritual energy and the ten pieces of waste jades with thin spiritual energy was at most two to three taels.
"Then what if the difference is more than five taels? What will happen? "Lin Yi thought for a while and asked again.
"Then you will be isolated for inspection, and you will have to strip naked and search your body!" The guard chuckled, then looked at Lin Yi mischievously and said, "Brother, you are inquiring about this, could it be that you secretly hid the spirit jades?"
"Senior Brother, you must be joking. The body search is so strict, even if I want to hide it, I can't hide it! If you don't hide it on your body, but in this mine, what's the difference from not hiding it? Anyway, you can't bring it out! " Lin Yi smiled. "And the two guard senior brothers are here so conscientiously, I also don't have a chance!"
"That's right! Hehe, Brother, what you said is right. The rules of our Spirit Jade Hall are so strict, ordinary people have no chance to steal the spirit jades and bring them out. Especially a newcomer without any foundation like you, don't even think about it! Only those who have a deep network of connections have a glimmer of chance. Tsk tsk, this world! "The guard sighed with envy and dissatisfaction.
Hearing his words, Lin Yi unconsciously thought of a person, Meng Jueguang! Judging from his previous performance, this guy seemed to be very popular in the Spirit Jade Hall. He should be considered as the guy with a deep network of connections that the guard mentioned!
With Meng Jueguang's temperament as a steward senior brother, he might take the risk out of desperation! Lin Yi's heart moved, but this thought was just a flash. The urgent matter was to inquire about the various rules of this Spirit Jade Hall first.
He'd managed to get quite a bit of information out of this talkative guards- it might not be all that useful, but he'd at least have an idea of what they'd be facing next.
After half an hour, Lin Yi followed the two guards out of the tenth mine. To his surprise, Meng Jueguang and his party were standing at the delivery place at the entrance of the warehouse.
Mine ten was the furthest away, and mine seven and eight were a lot nearer. It wasn't strange that they'd come back earlier than Lin Yi, but it didn't make sense that they were still here, waiting for Lin Yi, even though it seemed like they'd already finished their work and weighed it.
But after seeing the gloating expression on everyone's faces, Lin Yi quickly understood the intentions of these guys. Lin Yi, they were waiting here of their own!
"Yo, our strongest newcomer finally came out. I thought I couldn't dig up the spirit jades, so I wanted to die of shame and anger. In a rage, I wanted to kill myself in the dead mining area! "As soon as he saw Lin Yi appear, Meng Tong immediately jumped out and mocked.
"Meng Tong, how can you say that!" Meng Jueguang pretended to be serious and reprimanded, and then said, "Our strongest newcomer was deeply taught by Junior Brother Bitter. Even if he really wanted to die of shame and anger, he would at most hide inside like a turtle. How could he possibly kill himself? Really don't know how to talk! Can't you see that Junior Brother Bitter is still alive and well? What did their faction like to be? That little picture book that someone brought from the secular world … That's right. It's called Ninja Turtle! "
"Oh, right, Ninja Turtle! It's still Ninth Cousin who has a good eye for people! But this pretentious newcomer is quite thick-skinned. Maybe when he weighs it, he will know what it means to want to die of shame and anger! "Meng Tong echoed with a strange smile. The people on the side could not help but laugh. After a tiring day, they could not wait to find a sense of superiority from Lin Yi, who had always been in the limelight.
"It seems that you don't have an easy time, brother!" The guard looked at the scene and shook his head with a smile. He led Lin Yi to the place where the work was handed over. While handing over the account book in his hand to the staff in charge of weighing, he gestured to Lin Yi to pour the spirit jades in the basket onto the platform of a giant scale.
"Hehe, guess how many kilograms of spirit jades our pretentious newcomer has collected today. I'll say one, 1.5 kilograms! "Meng Tong led the crowd to jeer.
The others were immediately amused. They had already weighed it before. Even the smallest among them was at least 20 kilograms. And people like Meng Tong and Li Zhengming, who were assigned to Mine No. 7, were both above 15 kilograms. This number was considered acceptable for a newcomer who was mining for the first day.
"Brother Tong, that's not right. No matter what, we are fellow disciples. I feel that there should be at least two kilograms!" Li Zhengming echoed from the side.
"I bet 5 kilograms!"
"I bet 4 and a half kilograms!"
"…"
While the crowd was jeering, Lin Yi was too lazy to pay attention to them. When he took the basket from his back and poured 30 to 40 pieces of spirit jades on the platform, the group of people instantly fell silent.
"42 kilograms and 5 taels!" The staff noted down the number. After comparing it with the number on the account book, there was only a difference of 2 taels. He nodded and gestured to Lin Yi to put the spirit jades back into the basket and let him go. "No problem."
Lin Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Before this, his heart was hanging in suspense. He did not expect to pass so easily. This made him feel relieved but also a little surprised.
But thinking about it carefully, the mining area was so big, and there were so many people mining. Using this kind of weight to verify was already rare and harsh. If they had to check in more detail, then the workload would absolutely make everyone in Spirit Jade Hall collapse. What's more, there was a strict body search when entering and exiting the mine. To a large extent, it had put an end to people's attempts to steal the spirit jades. This was just an auxiliary monitoring process.
Lin Yi was relieved, but the others present, especially Meng Tong's group, were embarrassed. Looking at the bright red number on the giant scale, they were speechless for a long time.
42 kilograms and 5 taels! What kind of concept was this? This was simply killing all of them. Even Meng Tong, who had received guidance from Meng Jueguang, was only 35 kilograms in the end!
"This, this must be cheating! How can a dead mine dig out so many spirit jades! "Meng Tong could not help but cry out.
Cheating? How could this thing cheat? Could it be that they had racked their brains to secretly bring in their own spirit jades, and then sneak in and pretend to dig them out themselves to hand over? There must be something wrong with their brains!
