I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 38 - 35: The Bell That Has Been Struck for a Thousand Years (Please Follow)_2

Tian Lin was ultimately a few steps slower, but it was an improvement over yesterday, as he managed to line up in the third row.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe today could be more unlucky than yesterday!"

A man in the front row said, provoking Han Li to glance at Tian Lin.

Tian Lin was as calm as ever, appearing exceptionally composed. Han Li sighed and shook his head, ultimately saying nothing.

By the time they started sand washing, a group of people were already grumbling again.

At noon, the dishes Tian Lin bought were all precious herbs meant to increase Inner Strength.

[Nurturing Fruit, a treasured herb sought after by top experts in the worldly society, rumored to absorb Spiritual Energy and have body-strengthening effects, edible]

[Snow Honey Vegetables, known for refining Inner Strength, a rare treasure in the worldly society, edible]

[As You Wish Fan Flowers, grown alongside snow-capped mountains, thriving on absorbed Spiritual Energy, consuming a leaf can increase five years of power, edible]

Talk of Nurturing Fruits, Snow Honey Vegetables, and As You Wish Fan Flowers, but in fact, they were just cucumbers, bamboo shoots, and cabbages.

These full three dishes did not contain a hint of meat and cost Tian Lin less than one piece of Silver.

But besides the Nurturing Fruit, Tian Lin does not eat Snow Honey Vegetables and As You Wish Fan Flowers.

Using the medicinal effects from the Nurturing Fruit, he practiced boxing in the courtyard, attracting a few looks from drinking servant disciples.

In the afternoon, when Han Li’s quail cried, a group of people dashed towards the river again.

Tian Lin did not shovel sand, so he was the fastest.

But as he was about to leave, Hu San shouted, "Stop, let us see what you have in your bag."

Tian Lin frowned, facing Hu San who blocked his path: "Why should I show you?"

Hu San rubbed his hands. Although a gambler, he was a Grandmaster Level expert.

If he were to make a move, how could Tian Lin withstand?

Luckily, Han Li’s voice promptly asked, "Hu San, you’re not the Supervisor, when is it your turn to check other people’s bags? Or perhaps, you want to take my place?"

Hu San was somewhat fearful of Han Li, but since Han Li has always treated his brothers well, he dared to argue his point.

"You heard him: ever since this kid started digging in the river, our ’luck’ has been getting worse. Yesterday, the sand washing yielded less by seventy percent, and today even less than twenty percent. I don’t believe he hasn’t tampered with something."

Someone then spoke up for Tian Lin: "What can a kid possibly tamper with? Hu San, just because someone refuses to lose money to you, doesn’t mean you can cause trouble."

The person’s tone shifted, suddenly addressing Tian Lin: "Little Tian, open your bag and show him. After he has seen it if he continues to harass, we all won’t let him off."

Tian Lin scanned the surrounding people with his eyes, noting everyone watching him.

He tilted his head, looking towards Han Li.

Han Li was about to speak up for Tian Lin, but Tian Lin spoke first: "What’s the big deal? I have Water Spirit Ore in my bag; there’s nothing shameful."

He really did open his bag then, pulling out some Water Spirit Ore from inside.

Seeing the handful of Water Spirit Ore in Tian Lin’s hand, the people on the shore could not sit still.

"How is that possible?"

They could not believe it, someone said: "Diving to the bottom to pick up Water Spirit Ore? If this method worked, we would have done it long ago."

Another person added, "Digging sand in water muddies it up, even if it’s fish eyes, how can you find Water Spirit Ore among a bunch of black stones?"

Tian Lin frowned and said: "I get up at the same time as everyone, I line up at the same time, and I earned the Water Spirit Ore myself; are you all planning to stop me from entering the river?"

The group exchanged glances, as their own interests were at stake; preaching morality obviously wouldn’t work.

Tian Lin’s influence was still small; who would argue with him?

"How about this: from now on, you carry a basket like us, use a sieve to shovel and wash sands, and you’re no longer allowed to fish for Water Spirit Ore like you used to."

Someone suggested this, but Tian Lin scoffed coldly: "How can I shovel as much as you? If so, wouldn’t I end up with the least Water Spirit Ore?"

The person’s expression hardened, gritting his teeth: "If you don’t follow this method, then don’t think about coming here to wash for Water Spirit Ore, just go back where you came from!"

Tian Lin had anticipated this situation.

When Han Li warned him earlier, he thought about whether not to push things too far. As long as he maintained a certain amount every day, letting everyone feel a decrease but still within their tolerance—then, in the short term, no one would suspect him.

But after much contemplation, he felt this approach would be exposed sooner or later; by that time, they probably still wouldn’t accommodate him.

Besides, after ’lying low’ for over ten days, earning just a couple of Silvers per day, it was barely enough to buy three Grass God Fish.

Such effort was arduous and still inevitably led to a falling out with others.

Why not just make things clear, earn some Silver for a few days, and later concentrate on cultivating? When the time comes to break ties with these people, no one can call him heartless.

"Fine, if you are unkind now, don’t blame me for being unjust in the future!"

Tian Lin handed the bag to Han Li, saying, "Brother Han, keep today’s Water Spirit Ore for me; I won’t be coming tomorrow."

Han Li grabbed Tian Lin’s wrist upon hearing this: "If you don’t wash sand, what will you eat later?"

Tian Lin smiled and said, "I still have some possessions, so I’m not worried about starving anytime soon. Besides, I’m only temporarily stopping the sand washing; I’ll come back someday."

Han Li wanted to persuade more, but someone immediately said, "Old Han, don’t bother with him. This kid is ungrateful; why waste your warmth on his cold arrogance?"

As one, the crowd watched coldly as Tian Lin walked away.
