Meng Tong had already prepared his jade shovel and was itching to try. Even if he really found a high-quality mine here, Meng Jueguang might not give him many spiritual jades in the future. However, Meng Jueguang was his biggest backer. As long as Meng Jueguang made a meteoric rise, his status would naturally rise as well. Even though Meng Tong's brain was not very bright, he still had this little bit of survival wisdom.
Meng Tong waved his arms and dug with all his might. However, the reality was completely different from what he had imagined. After working hard for an hour, he only managed to dig out two pieces of spirit jade. Moreover, both of them were useless pieces of jade that only had the appearance of being of good quality.
Meng Jueguang finally could not sit still anymore. This was a matter of great importance to his future. Ever since he deduced this conclusion, his ambition depended on this mine to be realized. Otherwise, he would not have tried so hard to replace Lin Yi. After all, if it was purely to punish Lin Yi, why would he change Lin Yi to mine number seven? The reason why he proposed this condition was only to entice Lin Yi to agree as soon as possible.
But now, seeing that the jade extraction rate of this mine was far from what he had expected, Meng Jueguang was in a difficult situation. If he could not dig out any good jade no matter what, then the beautiful future that he had previously imagined was simply a daydream!
Picking up the other spare jade shovel, Meng Jueguang no longer cared about the dignity of the senior in charge. He could not wait to personally go into action.
"Damn! What year is this? Even a guy like Meng Jueguang who knows how to put on airs has personally come to mine? "The two guards in the distance saw this scene and could not help but be taken aback, dumbfounded.
These two were also people from Blue Cloud Pavilion. In the past, they had also dealt with Meng Jueguang a few times. In front of these low-level guards of Spirit Jade Hall, Meng Jueguang, as the supervisor of the Welcoming Pavilion, had always been arrogant. They had never seen him act so "close to the people". Today was really the day when the sun rose from the west.
However, even if Meng Jueguang personally went into action, as the senior in charge, he did not see many good jades being dug out. Even if he could occasionally dig out a few pieces of spiritual jade after working hard for half a day, they were either trash jades that were obvious at a glance, or waste jades that had thin spiritual qi. As for good jades that were full of spiritual qi, even if he and Meng Tong did not give up and worked hard for a whole day, they still could not dig out a piece.
Until the bell of the mining area rang, under the greeting of the two guards. Only then did Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong came to a stop with their faces covered in dirt. Looking at the basket filled with less than thirty pieces of waste jades, the two simply wanted to cry but had no tears.
What kind of joke was this? Lin Yi that bastard could dig out eight or ten pieces of good jade in two days. If it was the two of us, we worked hard for a whole day, but in the end, we could not even get a piece of good jade. This was way too freaking weird!
"You guys! You two must be lying to me. This is not the mine that Lin Yi was digging before, right?! "Meng Jueguang suddenly turned his head and stared fiercely at the two guards, flying into a rage out of humiliation.
The two guards suddenly jumped in fright. Not to mention that Meng Jueguang's strength was originally above them, just based on the other party's wide network in this Spirit Jade Hall, they could not afford to offend this guy. The two hurriedly distanced themselves. "Senior Brother Meng, how can you say that? Lin Yi was indeed digging for jade at this mine before. What's there to lie to you about? If there is even half a word of falsehood, may the heavens strike us with lightning! "
"Really?" Meng Jueguang frowned at the two dubiously. Strictly speaking, these two did not seem to have any reason to lie to him.
"Of course it's true! And Senior Brother Meng, you're also someone who has experienced it. Which mine points have been abandoned for a long time, and which mine points have been mined recently, these are all things that can be seen at a glance. Our No.10 mine area only had Lin Yi recently! "The two guards hurriedly explained.
"That's true." Meng Jueguang then reluctantly believed the words of the two. In the end, he began to doubt himself again. "Could it be that there is actually good jade in these spirit jades that were dug out today, but I just made a mistake?"
The same mine area, the same mine point, Lin Yi could dig out so much good jade in two consecutive days, but if it was him and Meng Tong, they could not even dig out a piece of good jade after working for a whole day in vain. Rather than believing such a ridiculous fact, Meng Jueguang would rather deceive himself and others and believe that he had made a mistake!
"Let's go and hand in the work!" The more Meng Jueguang thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Without a second word, he immediately called Meng Tong. They hurriedly set off on their return journey.
The two of them passed through the long tunnel number 10. When they finally arrived at the handover site, they happened to meet Lin Yi, who had just come out of the tunnel number 7. Seeing the two of them sweating profusely, Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and then he greeted them with a faint smile.
"Damn, this guy can't be waiting here to make a fool of us, right?" Thinking of what they had done two days ago, Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong's hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
However, the two of them really misunderstood Lin Yi. Although Lin Yi had long expected that Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong would not dig out any good jade, even so, he did not have the leisure to wait here and watch them make a fool of themselves. The reason why they met here was purely that Lin Yi wanted to observe the work and rest schedule of the guards in the Seventh Mine. Therefore, he deliberately stayed in the mine for a while. This was just a complete coincidence.
However, as the saying goes, 'X person X heart'. Even if it was really a coincidence, in the eyes of Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong, it was definitely a coincidence deliberately created by Lin Yi. This bastard was holding back his strength to see the two of them make a fool of themselves!
However, even if the two of them held back their strength to not let Lin Yi see them make a fool of themselves, Lin Yi finally saw it, as expected. There was nothing much to say about the weighing. The key was the quality inspection result: "Meng Tong, zero good jade, twenty-seven pieces of waste jade."
This sentence completely sentenced their previous luck on the road to death. Both Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong's expressions suddenly became dull, and they did not come back to their senses for a long time.
"Hehe … To be able to dig out twenty-seven pieces of waste jade in the Tenth Mine, the harvest is not bad. Congratulations." At the side, Lin Yi nodded and smiled faintly.
In fact, he did not know that today, even Meng Jueguang personally went to the mine. According to the rhythm of his previous two days, which was less than twenty pieces of waste jade, Meng Tong's twenty-seven pieces were indeed not bad.
Therefore, his blessings were really from the heart.
