Chapter 3608: You’re catching up to me
Translator: 549690339
He’d taken the time out this time to see Lin Yi make a fool of himself, but since he’d promised to build connections for Kang Zhaoming, he’d have to introduce a few higher-ups to him. As for a small fry like Dai Wuchang, he wouldn’t even have bothered if it weren’t for the fact that he’d just bumped into him.
“Uh … Then take care, young master Xu and my two junior brothers!” Dai Wuchang hesitated for a moment before sending them off.
He’d wanted to remind lingchong not to be happy so early-after all, he knew that Lin Yi had dug out eight pieces of good Jade yesterday, and Meng jueguang and the others, who were ready to laugh at him, were all given the cold shoulder. Who knew if this young master Xu would make the same mistake? But thinking about it, in a dead Kuangqu like the tenth, Lin Yi was already extremely lucky to have gotten eight pieces of good Jade yesterday. He couldn’t possibly get another one today, right? this kid wasn’t the legendary son of fortune!
Therefore, Dai Wuchang swallowed his words in the end, in case his warning didn’t come true. He made it seem like he was deliberately ruining the mood and leaving a stain on young master Xu’s heart.
In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark, and the melodious sound of the bell rang throughout the major Kuangqu. It was time to hand in the work again.
In each mine tunnel, people streamed out one after another. They were first weighed before quality inspection. After finishing this set of eternally unchanging handover procedures, most of the people left one after another. After all, they had been mining for an entire day. Even if their physical strength could withstand it, they were still somewhat mentally exhausted. Even if they went back to their cave abodes to meditate and cultivate, it would also be a rare recovery.
However, Meng jueguang, Meng Tong, and the rest of the GreenCloud Pavilion’s new disciples were waiting at the inspection Office as they had yesterday. They were waiting to see Lin Yi make a fool of himself. He’d been dejected by Lin Yi’s eight pieces of jade yesterday, but he didn’t believe that Lin Yi would have that kind of luck again. It was too strange!
To his surprise, Lin Yi hadn’t even arrived yet-it was Xu lingchong and the others who came, rushing up to suck up to them.
However, when he was asked about the other party’s intentions, especially about yesterday’s situation, Meng jueguang’s expression became strange. He could only force a smile and say,”That kid was lucky yesterday and got a few good jades, but he can’t be lucky every day. Today is the day he shows his true colors. Young master Xu, just wait and see how unlucky he is!”
That kid actually dug out a few pieces of good Jade yesterday? Xu lingchong was surprised, but he didn’t take it to heart. After all, even the tenth dead Kuangqu would occasionally produce good Jade. However, it was absolutely impossible to produce good Jade every day. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called the dead mining area.
The group waited for almost an hour, and when most of the people had left, they finally saw Lin Yi’s figure in the empty tunnel, their lips curling up into a mocking smile. Kid, let’s see if you can continue to be proud today!
“Eh? It’s quite a big event today. Are you all looking forward to me digging out more Jade today?” Lin Yi raised his head and saw the group of people, especially familiar faces like Xu lingchong and Kang Zhaoming. He couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment before he laughed inside.
Lin Yi didn’t know if he should feel honored or sad that so many people had come to watch him hand in his work. Of course, if he had to feel sad, he should feel sad for these people.
Meng jueguang and the others were fine. After all, they were close to the Kuangqu. However, a “Big Shot” like Xu lingchong had come all the way here to see him make a fool of himself. If he did not see him as a joke and was given the cold shoulder instead, what else could he do if not be sad?
“Pretentious newbie, I’ve dug out eight pieces of good Jade today. Let’s see if you’ll still be as lucky as you were yesterday! However, out of humanitarian concerns, I guess you should be able to dig up eight pieces. Unfortunately, they are all useless Jade, hahaha!” Seeing Lin Yi, Meng Tong jumped out immediately. In order to stimulate Lin Yi, Meng jueguang personally guided Meng Tong to dig for Jade, and Meng Tong did the same. The result was one more piece than yesterday, making everyone envious!
Of course, because there were more people in the seventh Kuangqu, Meng Tong wasn’t the only one there. There were also a few outer sect disciples who had failed to advance to heaven-Dao Foundation establishment in the previous batch.
They no longer had the benefits of a cave dwelling and could only rely on the Jades earned by hard work to cultivate slowly. When they had a breakthrough, they could participate in the registration trial for inner disciples again and advance to the inner sect.
Therefore, even with Meng jueguang’s help, he could only help Meng Tong find the Jade in a place where there was no one around, which was not very efficient! He was a little envious of his bitter senior brother-this guy could help Lin Yi find Jade in the entire tenth Kuangqu.
Even Lee Zhengming, who was assigned to the same mining area as him, was looking at Meng Tong with envy, let alone the other new members of the No. 8 Kuangqu. He had only picked five pieces of good Jade today.
“Eight pieces? That’s not bad, you’re barely catching up to me, but you have to continue to work hard!” Lin Yi raised an eyebrow on purpose as he spoke casually, pouring the Jade in the basket onto the scale.
“F * ck! You’re just a lucky bastard from the tenth Kuangqu, what are you so proud of? I’ll see how you cry when the quality is checked later!” Meng Tong almost exploded in anger-he was trying his best to beat Lin Yi today, but the guy didn’t even put him in his eyes! Compared to being looked down on, this kind of nonchalance was even more annoying!
“45.3 catties, no problem!” The staff in charge of weighing the scale compared it with the account book report handed in by the guard.
Lin Yi let out a breath of relief. Just like yesterday, he managed to hide two pieces of useless Jade that didn’t have enough Qi. In fact, with the number of useless jades he dug out today, it was not impossible to hide one more piece. However, in that case, all the useless jades he dug out today would have to be filled with spiritual energy and become good jades. It was a little unscientific that all the good jades were full of spiritual energy without a single useless Jade. In order to avoid shooting the bird that takes the lead, it was better to be steady. After all, there was still a long way to go.
Upon hearing the number, Xu lingchong, who was waiting to see the joke, could not help but have a slight change in expression. Although he had never personally mined a mine due to his deep background, he had worked as a manager in the spirit Jade Hall for a period of time in order to gain experience. He more or less had some concept of these processes.
Weighing 45 catties was not uncommon for the first few high-quality Kuangqu, but for it to be weighed in the tenth dead mining area, it was a bit of an exaggeration.
