Chapter 551 551 Its Not Game Over
The villagers sat down near the tree as he held a bag of blue stones, which apparently turned out to be spirit stones. He went to rest a bit since he still couldn’t solve his problem.
Of course, Li Shi Ying and the others who had a feeling that they could get crystal spirit stones by helping his villager, followed the villager.
"So, your problem is you need to find 1 stone that isn’t like the rest of your spirit stones, but can only use the scales twice? This stone is lighter than rest, am I right?"
Li Shi Ying once again had deja vu. Her feeling told her that this wasn’t a moral test, but another intelligence test! Somehow, she had heard about this scales problem before...
"Then aren’t we going by luck??" Shu Chen still thought it was a moral test, since the previous test was an intelligence test. It’s impossible for their intelligence to be tested twice in a row, right?
"No, this isn’t luck. This is another intelligence test." Long Ao Zhen rubbed his chin as he tried to solve the problem of the 8 spirit stones this villager had.
Indeed, if they put the stones, 4 on the left side and 4 on the right side they had to weigh it three times. But this villager only had money for two times weighing. They had to find a way to identify the one stone different than the rest by just weighing all stones, twice.
"It’s impossible to weigh 3 stones...2 and 1?" The villager sighed as he talked to himself, but what he said, triggered something inside Li Shi Ying’s mind.
!! No wonder she felt deja vu again. This is another quiz her father asked her! At that time she also asked the same question. How could they weigh 3 stones?
But then her sister gave her a hint that made her realize that she was just one step away from discovering the answer. The answer was actually very easy! She was just focused on weighing all the stones at that time.
"Uncle, I can help you solve your problem." Li Shi Ying actually wanted to add that in exchange for him to give her the crystal spirit stone, but looking at this man, she didn’t think this villager had crystal spirit stones.
Maybe another person who was observing them, would be the one giving it? It can be! Anyway, let’s help this villager first.
"What? you can??" The villager looked happy when Li Shi Ying said she could help, but when he realized it was just a naive-looking young girl, his face dimmed down again. His face was so bright earlier.
"You don’t believe me? I’ll give back your money if I fail." Li Shi Ying wanted to curse this villager since it was a gamble whether she would get the crystal spirit stone from this villager.
But since her feelings told her so, she couldn’t give up! This villager didn’t believe her since she looked young and naive, right?
"Alright, I’ll trust you." The villager couldn’t think of any way to get one stone different from the rest out of his 8 stones, so he finally gave Li Shi Ying a chance.
If this young girl could help him, he would give her the one stone which wasn’t the spirit stone. He didn’t know what stone that was, but the one telling him that the stone wasn’t a spirit stone, said that he should give it to someone who helped him identify which one wasn’t a spirit stone.
He wasn’t tricking this young girl, ok? That mysterious man was the one telling him so!
"Come." Li Shi Ying dragged both Long Ao Zhen and Shu Chen who were confused with the turn of events since both of them haven’t found the answer yet!
Li Shi Ying, just how much of a genius is she?? It hasn’t even been 5 minutes, and she figured it out already.
Merchant place.
"Mister, I want to use the scale. Here’s the money." Li Shi Ying brought the 8 stones the villager had with her as the villager, Long Ao Zhen and Shu Chen were watching her from behind.
"You can use the scales two times." The merchant took the money, and urged Li Shi Ying to quickly use the scales.
Li Shi Ying only nodded and took out all 8 stones from the bag. First she took 3 stones and put it on the left side. Next, she took 3 stones again and put it on the right side of the scale.

"Is she going to test it by luck?" Shu Chen gulped his saliva nervously when Li Shi Ying took the 3-3 measurements method. If the scales were balanced, than indeed they only need to weigh the other 2 stones left.
But what if it’s not balanced??
KRIET....
The scales moved and just like what Shu Chen was afraid about, the scales weren’t balanced. The scales on the left side was lighter than the scales on the right side.
!! Not balanced!
"Oh God it’s over." Shu Chen mumbled to himself and couldn’t brave his heart to see Li Shi Ying fail. If she failed, they would have to give the money back to the villager, but they don’t have the money here!
"It’s not over." Li Shi Ying heard Shu Chen’s words and she giggled.
This isn’t game over!
