BXBX NOVEL Chapter 3597 It Can Be Operated As Expected
Plus, Lin Yi didn't touch the Jade that looked good on the outside, but was rotten on the inside. He only touched the kind that looked useless on the outside, the kind that didn't even have a layer of skin, the kind that only had a bit of energy. If that little energy was used up, the Jade would break.
The guards probably wouldn't count the number of jades like this, but they'd definitely remember the ones that looked good. If Lin Yi really touched them, it'd be a problem! However, whether it could move or not, he still had to try! If they were really strict on the quantity, then Lin Yi would have to return the spiritual Jade he stole!
As for why the weight of good Jade changed with more good Jade, the guards probably wouldn't doubt it. After all, no one would be stupid enough to count their own Jade in. They would only think that they had misremembered!
But if it was possible, Lin Yi would be working here for three months, and even if he didn't take into account the ranking competition and the newbie trial, he would have at least seventy days. If he hid two a day, that would be a hundred and forty Kuai!
One should know that the welcoming new pavilion only gave one piece of spiritual Jade to the newcomers every month. What kind of concept was 140 pieces? This was simply turning him into a nouveau riche. Even a Senior Steward like Meng jueguang with a lot of experience would not have so many spiritual Jade saved up!
Spiritual jades were consumables that could be used for both cultivation and trading. Let alone 140 pieces, it would be considered good if Meng Jue had 30 to 50 pieces in his possession. Otherwise, he would not have been in so much pain for so long just to pay two pieces of spiritual Jade.
This way, as long as Lin Yi had enough spiritual jades, he could buy even more precious natural treasures with just a word, let alone ingredients for elixirs. At the end of the day, this was just like the secular world. With more spiritual jades in hand, one's backbone would naturally become stronger, and one would naturally have more confidence in speaking and doing things.
However, all of this was built on the foundation that things would go smoothly. Although Lin Yi's plan to steal the spiritual Jade seemed to be complete, if the two guards who weighed him were really careful, they would notice something fishy. Of course, according to Lin Yi's observation of the two, the possibility of this happening wasn't high. Even if there was a chance of them being discovered, it was very small.
The two of them only took note of the number of waste jades other than gold and Jade. As for their weight, they only used a counter to add up the total. They didn't record the individual weight.
After working for a full 12 hours, the sky should have already turned dark outside. Suddenly, a faint bell sound came from the distance of the mine tunnel. One of the guards shouted at the top of his voice,"Alright, Bell is done. That's it for today. Pack up and hand in your work with me!"
Lin Yi looked around and couldn't help but chuckle. The guards were clearly shouting at him. There was no one else in the huge Kuangqu other than him and the two guards.
He got up and patted the dust off his body before putting away the Jade shovel and carrying the basket. He followed the two guards out of the Kuangqu.
"This Junior brother's harvest today is not bad. Tsk tsk, you've picked more than forty-two catties on your first day here. Although they should all be useless Jade, it's still not bad." One of the guards waved the account book in his hand at Lin Yi. He'd been stuck in this dead Kuangqu for a whole year, and it was rare for him to meet a new face, so he just wanted to talk to Lin Yi to relieve his boredom. "You've mined quite a lot of Jade that looks like good Jade. Even if they're all useless Jade, you can still exchange ten thousand pieces of good-looking Jade for a piece of good spirit Jade! You still have hope!"
Ten thousand Yuan! If Lin Yi didn't have a cheat, he'd be dead tired!
Lin Yi's sharp eyes saw his name at the start of the page, and below it was a string of numbers that looked like good jades. There was a special circle at the bottom, and it was an eye-catching number-forty-two catties and three taels. This was already the weight of the baskets minus it, and it was the final accurate record he had.
It was just as Lin Yi had guessed-there wasn't the pure useless Jade's total weight, only the total weight of the Jade. There were a lot of things that Lin Yi could manipulate in this.
"Hehe, it was pure luck! This senior brother, this is my first time here and I don't know the rules here. Can you tell me what the rules are?" Lin Yi saw that the guard was friendly and tried to ask.
To be honest, Lin Yi didn't think he'd give himself away, but it was the last test he'd have to face-he was still a little scared. This was the same as a student cheating in an exam. Even if the invigilator didn't catch the student cheating on the spot, they would still worry about whether they had left a trail on the paper after submitting it. For example, they would copy down the other person's mistakes exactly.
The guard looked at Lin Yi, thinking that he was bored anyway. He smiled,"The handover process is very simple. You hand over the basket of spiritual Jade you dug up, and I hand over my account book. The rest is none of our business. We just have to wait at the side. There will be someone in the warehouse who will specially re-weigh your spirit Jade. As long as the number is not too different from the 42.3 catties I marked, there will be no problem. "
"Will there be any discrepancies with this normal rule?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.
"Of course there will be. The same basket of Jade will have errors when it is weighed by different people. What's more, the scale in my hand is so simple and crude. It can't be compared to the accuracy of the big scale in their warehouse. However, the difference is usually within five taels." The guard replied.
Lin Yi nodded, deep in thought. A normal piece of spirit Jade of average size would weigh at least half a kilogram, and if the difference was less than five taels, it meant that it was a weighing error, eliminating the possibility of the Jade being stolen.
Moreover, when these spiritual jades fell down, they would be taken away by the guards and placed into the basket. This eliminated the possibility that the miners would absorb a portion of the energy inside first after mining them. (To be continued.)
