Chapter 42 The Ugly Stone



Once upon a time, it was a boring night of overtime work.

In the General Services Administration, only the Minerals Department had lights on.

Jin Yi, who was working overtime with someone, was busy filling out the final report.

Xingyao, exhausted from the tossing of a batch of S-grade ores, collapsed on the table and suddenly said to him:

"Shall we play a game?"

Jin Yi originally planned to refuse and scolded Xing Yao: "Don't make trouble."

But for some reason, he glanced at the Omega and naturally saw the expectation and flattery in those beautiful eyes.

"Can."

He agreed.

Xingyao curled her lips, picked up a piece of unidentified ore, and asked him in a cute, boastful tone: "This one is A+ grade, 98.5% purity, and 4.5 hardness. Do you think I'm right?"

At that time, Jin Yi smiled indifferently.

After working together for so many years, he knew that Xingyao had an excellent eye, which was no worse than that of an experienced appraiser.

He might be able to distinguish things more finely than others, but how could he even accurately determine purity and hardness?

However, the confident Alpha was soon slapped in the face.

Xingyao put the ore into the instrument.

The screen displayed the same data as he had just said.

Jin Yi rarely showed a surprised expression.

The blond Omega asked him sweetly, "Shouldn't you praise me?"

He must have been praising it.

So from then on, every boring overtime night was just the two of us.

Xingyao always plays this game with him.

For a compliment.

Maybe more than that.

Jin Yi knew that Xingyao had never shown this skill to anyone other than him.

In the eyes of the staff of the Mining Department.

He has always been a boss with decent eyesight but extremely poor work ability.

He lacks leadership skills and when assigning tasks he doesn't order others but begs them.

Jin Yi felt that perhaps it was the atmosphere of working overtime together that day that gave him a sense of security - or perhaps it was the illusion of security that made the bird that had folded its feathers show him its most beautiful tail feathers.

Why?

You have such amazing skills, but you never show them off?

Jin Yi didn't ask, and Xing Yao didn't say anything.

Only Ai Fan had ever asked him.

Why is Xingyao's work ability so poor, but nothing he does ever goes wrong? Are you secretly helping him cheat?

Jin Yi hesitated for a long time, but still helped Omega keep the secret.

He said Xingyao has the habit of spot-checking every batch of ore, and he is very serious about his work.

He did not lie to Ai Fan about this.

Xingyao has indeed discovered problems with the ore more than once.

The mineral identification instrument itself has an error rate of 0.01%.

This is also the reason why the Minerals Department has to arrange for the instruments to be tested three times and has to undergo spot checks by senior appraisers before the final report can be issued.

But before that, as long as the measurements were repeated, the errors could be eliminated, and eventually Xingyao would reach an agreement with the instrument.

But this time, after testing the instruments eight times and replacing all the instruments in the entire ore department, no problem was found.

Only Xingyao insisted that it was wrong.

This is not normal.

Jin Yi flipped through the quality inspection report that had just been submitted to his terminal.

Something must have gone wrong.

At the same time, inside Chenxing Palace.

Shen Que was also looking through the report from the Minerals Department.

He had read the reports of the past three years many times and had also sent the specific details to the Queen.

Now all that was left was to confirm the vulnerability.

There are indeed problems with the Ministry of Mines' report, but the issue is delicate.

It can be seen that someone is deliberately covering up.

If he hadn't been so sensitive to the data, he would not have noticed this omission.

Shen Que had a vague premonition that the thing behind this omission might be the key to controlling the production line.

He must find out as soon as possible and give an explanation to the Queen.

Closing the report, Shen Que recalled today's farce about the ore delay.

A minister who is timid and afraid of taking responsibility.

A backbone who is rigorous in style but obviously partial.

There is also a clumsy burden who insists on forcing the results of the instrument.

What a hassle...

Shen Que sighed and called up the latest quality inspection report.

The Minerals Department conducts a unified instrument inspection every month, and instruments with too large errors will be replaced the next month.

"How long can mineral identification equipment usually be used?" Shen Que asked Demi.

"It won't take long," Demi thought for a moment. "It's just that the error in identification will gradually increase over time."

Shen Que nodded and opened the instructions of an instrument to check.

He had seen mineral identification equipment before in Messiah's Mecha Research Center, but that kind of equipment was used to identify gold sand and was controlled by mental power.

On Baishaxing, similar instruments are in Jinyi's possession and are not allowed to be used for testing other minerals without special approval.

Another instrument is used to identify common minerals. It is driven by an energy core and generally has an error of 0.01% within 3 years.

Chen Que slid through the quality inspection report, playing with his pheromone memory stone with his fingertips, and checking it quietly.

Not far away, Anya came up to Demi and whispered, "Why does Madam like that ugly stone so much? She's been holding it all day."

Demi had a complicated expression on her face. "Hmm... maybe it's because I miss him..."

Anya sighed, "Omegas are indeed passionate creatures."

Demi frowned. "It's too disgusting! The Admiral is such a jerk! How could he bring such an ugly thing here? How tasteless..."

Anya: "Hmm... Is it possible that the Admiral is worried that his wife will attract too much attention and become a target of others?"
