"Damn it! Why isn't there a single piece of good jade? Is it really like what that brat said? Is he the only one who can dig out good jade in this dead mining area? This is too strange! "Meng Jueguang couldn't help but cry out. After two days without any results, even with Meng Jueguang's shrewdness, he finally began to lose his cool.
"Ninth cousin, is it possible that there is no good jade in this dead mining area at all? That brat Lin Yi was just lucky enough to dig out a few pieces, and all the good jade in this mining area has been dug out by him? "Meng Tong was dejected, scratching his head and muttering.
"Your words have enlightened me. If there is really good jade in this mining area, then it is impossible that he is the only one who can find it and we can't!" Meng Jueguang nodded thoughtfully and said, "We have been busy for two days without any results. Maybe there really is no good jade left here! This mining area is not the kind of high quality mining area that we previously speculated. There are only a few pieces of good jade here, and that brat Lin Yi has picked them up! "
"Then … what should we do? Are we still going to dig tomorrow? "Meng Tong looked at Meng Jueguang eagerly.
He had worked hard for two days in a row, but not even a single piece of good jade had entered his account. He was about to go crazy. Meng Jueguang was a senior steward, so he might not care about this small reward, but he, Meng Tong, was just a newcomer. Instead of wasting his time here, it was better to return to Mine No. 7 as soon as possible. Even if he could earn half a piece of spirit jade as a reward, it would still be a good thing.
Meng Jueguang shook his head and said, "But what if this is really a high quality mining area? We just happened to hit a relatively thick fault. Maybe we can dig out good jade tomorrow. If we give up so easily, wouldn't it be a big loss? "
Worried about the gains and losses, Meng Jueguang had subconsciously fallen into a very typical gambler's mentality. He was definitely not willing to continue wasting his time here, but he was also not willing to give up just like that. He was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to obtain such good quality spiritual jades so close to him!
"But what if there is no good jade?" Meng Tong cried with a bitter face. Of course, he also hoped to dig out good jade, but if he continued to waste time without any results … He was the one who would suffer a loss.
When Meng Jueguang threw Lin Yi to the Tenth Mining Area, didn't he want to waste time here? Now, Lin Yi was swapped to the Seventh Mining Area, while Meng Tong, the loyal little brother, was thrown to the Dead Mining Area to suffer!
"If only we could find out if there is good jade here …" Meng Tong could not help muttering. He really did not want to continue wasting time here.
His words made Meng Jueguang have a flash of inspiration. He patted his head and said, "Yes! We can find the exploration experts of Lingyu Hall to take a look. Whether there is good jade in this dead mining area, we can find out by letting them explore again! "
"It's really good to look?" Meng Tong was stunned, and then looked at Meng Jueguang with a strange face and said, "Ninth Cousin, why didn't you say so earlier? Didn't you work hard these two days in vain?"
"Uh, that was then and this is now. What do you know! "Meng Jueguang could not help but reprimand him with a red face.
In fact, it was not that he did not think of this move. The main thing was that he thought that after discovering a good quality mine, he could make a fortune by himself. If he hired the exploration experts of Lingyu Hall, once they really found a good quality mine, even if he did not report it, he would at least have a share of the profits. This was obviously not in line with Meng Jueguang's interests.
It was just that after working hard for two days, they could not even dig up a piece of good jade. When it was difficult to get down, it was not a bad idea to find the exploration experts. Even if they had to share some of the profits with the other party, it was better than the two of them continuing to work blindly like headless flies.
After making up his mind, Meng Jueguang immediately left the mining area. These years, due to the network of connections he had built up, he knew one of the exploration experts of Lingyu Hall. But the other party was also a steward level figure of Lingyu Hall. He was not someone that Meng Jueguang could order to come and go at his beck and call. He planned to first make friends with the other party overnight, so that he could ask the other party to come and help tomorrow.
As for Meng Tong, he was sent away by Meng Jueguang to hand over the work with a sullen face. Digging up a pile of waste jade, but not even a piece of good jade. It was enough that Lin Yi bumped into such a shameful thing yesterday. If it happened again, where would he, Meng Jueguang, the steward, put his old face!
But what made Meng Tong happy was that. Under his deliberate dawdling and the fact that the tenth mining area was very far away, by the time he handed over the work, almost all the people in the mining area had left. Lin Yi would not be so bored as to specifically wait here to see him make a fool of himself. So he escaped the disaster.
Early the next morning, Meng Jueguang could not wait to invite the exploration expert he found to the tenth dead mining area. Along the way, the exploration expert could not help but ask curiously, "Old Meng, I am puzzled. What is there to explore in a dead mining area like the tenth mining area where even birds don't shit? Isn't it a waste of time to ask me to come?"
"Senior Brother Ma, I originally thought so, but a few days ago, there was a newcomer in our Blue Cloud Pavilion who dug out eight or ten pieces of good jade in two consecutive days. So I felt that there might be something fishy here!" Meng Jueguang explained.
The exploration expert called Senior Brother Ma had a distracted look at first, but when he heard this, he was immediately stunned. "He dug out so much good jade in two consecutive days? Could it be that he accidentally stumbled upon a high-quality ore spot? "
"Senior Brother Ma is indeed an expert. You hit the nail on the head. I think so too, so I specially asked Senior Brother Ma to make a trip." Meng Jueguang nodded.
As the two talked, they arrived at the tenth mining area. After listening to Meng Jueguang's words, Senior Brother Ma no longer perfunctorily and began to explore seriously. After all, for an exploration expert like him, if he could find good jade in the tenth mining area and report it to Spirit Jade Hall, it would be a real great contribution!
Under Meng Jueguang's expectant face, Senior Brother Ma busied himself for a while and soon came up with a result. With a sullen face, he said, "There is no such high-quality mining area, Old Meng. It is similar to the results of the previous regular exploration. The proportion of spiritual jade in the tenth mining area does not exceed 10%, and the concentration of spiritual qi is far from enough. In other words, even if there is 10% of spiritual jade, it is basically waste jade with thin spiritual qi. It is unlikely that there will be any good jade."
