Chapter 550 550 Spirit Stones & Measuring Scales

550 Chapter 550 “Spirit Stones & Measuring Scales“

"I’m sure there must be a crystal spirit stone in this island. It’s super rare maybe because only this island have it and you know how this island is somehow hidden behind the thick fog"

Li Shi Ying wasn’t as shocked as Shu Chen even though she didn’t know what the heck is this crystal spirit stone. If this item was in the treasure list then there must be at least a few in this island!

"Hey there’s another village!" Shu Chen raised his head and saw another village ahead of them. This time, the village was larger than the previous village they visited.

"I’m sure that the village could help us to find this crystal spirit stone. Let’s go!" Li Shi Ying increased her walking speed followed by Long Ao Zhen and Shu Chen behind her.

Village.

"Can’t you allow me to use the measuring scales three times??" A villager wearing a normal, dusty clothes was begging a merchant with good, expensive scale so he could use the scale.

"I told you, you have to pay each time you use this scales! This thing is the only measuring scales we have in this village, I can’t let it broke because random people use it too often"

The merchant didn’t let the poor villager to use his measuring scales if he didn’t have money. Measuring scales was something that considered rare in this island, moreover a scales used to weighted stone.

"But I only have money to weigh twice..." The villager looked like he was about to cry. He needed the scale to weighted his stones since an old man told him that among his stones there was one that is different.

This different stone was the one he wanted to find! The stone should be lighter than the other stones but since the appearance looked similar he could pinpoint which stone is different.

He wanted to sell these spirit stones but if there was one that maybe, not a spirit stones, how could he sold it? He had to find which one different from the rest first!

"What’s going on?" Li Shi Ying had just arrive at the village and saw commotion between a merchant and a villager. She didn’t know what happened but this situation looked fishy in her eyes.

"I’ll go find out" Shu Chen realize that he was the most useless in this temporary team so he offered to go find out what happened between the merchant and the villager.

10 minutes later...

"So it’s like this. This villager want to weigh 8 spirit stones he just collected to find out one among them which is different from the rest, this stone is lighter than the other stones. He wanted to use the measuring scale but the merchant said the villager have to pay for it"

Shu Chen came back to Li Shi Ying place with the news. He himself was quite suspicious since the matter now was stone. Similar with the item they were looking for.

Could this be another test?

"Can’t the villager just pay?" As a rich person, Long Ao Zhen casually spoke what’s in his mind. So the problem is only with money. Not so important.

"The villager only have money to weigh twice" Shu Chen shrugged his shoulder hearing Long Ao Zhen response. Is this man rich? From how he answer before, he looks like it.

"Can’t we lend him money?" Li Shi Ying also offered another solution since she thought this would be moral test. Maybe this time if they helped this villager, the villager might be able to gave them what they needed.

"The money used here is different we can’t help at all and they don’t receive money we usually used" Shu Chen sighed again as he thought that this must be another test to get the crystal spirit stone.

Could this be moral test? But they didn’t have money to help!

"Let’s talk to the villager first" Li Shi Ying led the other two to approached the villager as she offered her help to the villager.

"Oh young lady if only I can weigh three times. From 8 stones, we divide it into 4-4 and either left side or right side will be heavier than the other. I can pick 4 stones which shows to be lighter since the different stone must be there, then I’ll measure again 1-1"

The villager began to rant to Li Shi Ying non stop about what he would do with the measuring scales. This scales had two plate and to measure it, one had to made both side balanced.

"Can’t u measure it 3-3? Then if the scales balanced, u measure the 2 stones left, 1-1"

Li Shi Ying also know how this works but she couldn’t help but wonder why it needed to be weigh three times. Two times is enough to see which stones is lighter than the rest.

Aren’t measuring it twice enough?

"But what if one side is lighter than the other? It means between the 3 stones there’s one lighter. Then I have to weigh 3 stones! how do u even weigh 3 stones? impossible!"

They need to weigh it three times then!
