If the upper limit of the margin of error was five taels, then it should not be a big problem! Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. As an early Foundation Stage practitioner, he was more sensitive to weight than normal people. According to his estimation, the difference in weight between the eight pieces of spiritual Jade and the ten pieces of useless Jade was at most two or three taels.

“What if the difference is more than five taels? What will happen?” Lin Yi asked.

“Then you’ll be isolated for inspection, and you’ll have to strip naked for a body search!” The guard chuckled and looked at Lin Yi mischievously.”Brother, you’re asking about this. Could it be that you’ve secretly hidden the spiritual Jade?”

“Senior brother, you must be joking. With such a strict body search, even if you wanted to hide it, you couldn ‘t! If I don’t hide it on my body, but in this mine, it’s no different from not hiding it at all. I can’t take it out anyway!” “Plus, the two guard brothers are doing their best here, I don’t stand a chance!” Lin Yi smiled.

“That’s right! Hehe, brother, you’re right. The rules of our spirit Jade Hall are so strict. Ordinary people have no chance to steal spirit Jade, especially a newcomer like you who has no foundation. You can forget about it! Only those who have a wide network of connections have a slim chance. Tsk, tsk, what a world!” The guard sighed with envy and dissatisfaction.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but think of someone-Meng jueguang! From his previous performance, this guy seemed to be very popular in the spirit Jade Hall. He should be the kind of person with a deep network that the guards had mentioned!

Given the temperament of this Senior Steward, Meng jueguang, he might even take a risk out of desperation! Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat, but it was just a fleeting thought. The most important thing now was to find out the rules of the spirit Jade Hall.

He’d gotten quite a bit of information from the talkative guard-it might not be of much use, but he had a rough idea of what they might face next.

An hour later, Lin Yi followed the two guards out of tunnel No. 10. To his surprise, Meng jueguang and his men were standing in front of the warehouse.

The tenth Kuangqu was the most remote area, and these people were much closer to the seventh and eighth areas. It wasn’t strange for them to come back earlier than Lin Yi, but they should’ve already finished weighing their work. It was strange for them to still be waiting here.

But after seeing the gloating expressions on everyone’s faces, Lin Yi quickly understood their intentions. They were all here to see him make a fool of himself!

“Oh, our strongest newcomer has finally come out. I thought he was so embarrassed that he wanted to die because he couldn’t find the spiritual Jade. In a fit of anger, he would kill himself in the dead Kuangqu!” Meng Tong couldn’t wait to jump out and mock Lin Yi as soon as he saw him.

“Meng Tong, what are you saying?” Meng jueguang pretended to be serious as he lectured him.”Our strongest newcomer is the direct disciple of our miserable Junior Brother. Even if he’s really ashamed and resentful, he’ll at most hide inside like a turtle. How could he hit his head and die? Can’t you see that my poor Junior Brother is still alive and well? What kind of thing did their faction like to think of? That little picture book that someone took from the secular world … Oh, right, it’s called Ninja Turtle!”

“Oh, right, Ninja Turtle! Ninth older cousin brother is still the best at judging people! But this newbie is quite thick-skinned, maybe he’ll only know what it means to be ashamed to death when he’s weighed!” Meng Tong laughed weirdly, and the crowd burst into laughter. They’d been working hard for the whole day, and they couldn’t wait to find a sense of superiority from this Lin Yi who was always in the limelight.

“It seems like you’re not having a good time, brother!” The guard shook his head and chuckled at the scene. He brought Lin Yi to the handover area and handed the account book to the staff in charge of weighing. He gestured for Lin Yi to pour the spirit Jade in the basket onto a giant scale platform at the side.

“Hehe, guess how many catties of spiritual Jade our pretentious newbie has collected today. I’ll start with one, three catties!” Meng Tong led the crowd and jeered.

The others were instantly delighted. They had already weighed it before, and even the smallest one weighed 20 catties. For Meng Tong and Lee Zhengming, who were assigned to the seventh Kuangqu, they weighed more than 30 catties. This number was already considered good for a newbie who had just started mining.

“Brother Tong, you’re wrong. We’re brothers after all. I think it should be at least four pounds!” Lee Zheng Min chimed in from the side.

“I’ll bet five catties!”

“I bet four and a half catties!”

“……”

Lin Yi didn’t even bother with them as the crowd was cheering. He took the basket down from his back and poured thirty to forty pieces of spiritual Jade on the scale, silencing the crowd instantly.

“42.5 Jin!” The staff noted down the numbers and compared them to the numbers in the book. There was only a difference of two taels. He nodded, signaling for Lin Yi to put the Jade back into the basket.”No problem,”

Lin Yi let out a breath of relief-he’d had his heart in his mouth before this, but he didn’t think it’d be this easy. He was a little surprised.

However, after thinking about it carefully, the Kuangqu was so large and there were so many people mining. It was already very difficult to check the weight of the ore. If they were to check it in more detail, the workload would definitely make everyone in the spirit Jade Hall collapse. Moreover, there was a strict body search when entering and exiting, which had already put an end to everyone’s attempt to hide the spiritual Jade to a large extent. This was only an auxiliary monitoring process.

Lin Yi let out a breath of relief, but the others, especially Meng Tong’s group, were in a difficult position. They looked at the bright red number on the scale, speechless.

42.5 catties! What kind of concept was this? this was simply an instant kill. Even Meng Tong, who had received Meng jueguang’s guidance, had only weighed 35 Jin in the end!

“This, this is definitely cheating! How could a dead Kuangqu area possibly have so many spiritual jades!” Meng Tong couldn’t help but cry out.

Cheating? How could he cheat with this? Could it be that he had racked his brains to secretly bring his spiritual Jade in, then sneaked in and pretended to be the one who had dug it out to hand it over? Was there something wrong with his brain?

Seeing everyone turn to look at him with a strange expression, Meng Tong finally realized that he had said something extremely stupid. At this moment, even Meng jueguang was looking at him like an incurable fool.
