Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Yingzi, this knife wasn't made by your family, was it?"

How could an ordinary person use a knife that weighs over ten kilograms? That's why he asked that question.

"Hmm! I found this in the mountains last year while hunting. It's incredibly sharp, but it's too heavy to use properly."

Yingzi nodded, looking regretful, and helped him open the animal hide.

When the appearance of the knife inside was revealed, a look of surprise flashed in Ji Haobo's eyes, and when he reached out and picked it up, he was even more delighted.

"Wow! This is the knife you mentioned, Yingzi. It looks pretty sharp!"

After wandering around outside, Fatty Wang and Old Hu returned and looked at the unsheathed longsword on the table with eager eyes.

Ji Haobo held his long sword horizontally in front of him and smiled as he explained things to the three of them.

"This is a Liao Dynasty sword with a willow-shaped pommel, but it is not a standard Liao sword, because a standard Liao sword is usually about 70 centimeters long and made of iron."

The knife was a full meter long, with an outward-curving blade and a width of about a hand's width at its widest point.

Therefore, this is a heavy military knife custom-made according to the wielder's body shape.

The snowflake-like pattern on the blade indicates that it is made of wrought iron, equivalent to high-strength steel.

As he spoke, he casually brandished two sword techniques in the open space beside the walkway, the cold light flashing and the shadows of the blades overlapping.

"Not bad, this knife is indeed easy to handle. Its length and weight are also suitable for me. With it in hand, I can definitely go toe-to-toe with Biaozi."

Ji Haobo was very satisfied, especially since the knife had given him 200 draw points and added two new pieces of information to his stats.

One option is to spend 100 gacha points to perform a Black Iron gacha pull.

Secondly, spending 500 draw points can turn a sword into a card, but he doesn't know what that does yet.

"Brother Bo, since it suits your needs, I'll give it to you."

Looking at Yingzi's smiling eyes, Ji Haobo sighed inwardly, not wanting to refuse her kindness.

"Okay! Thank you, Yingzi."

"Brother Bo, no need to thank me. Anyway, I can't use this knife, so I'm glad you like it."

Yingzi felt his gaze fixed on her, blushed, and quickly waved her hand.

Seeing this, Fatty Wang grinned mischievously and mimicked Old Hu in a high-pitched, affected voice.

"Brother Bo, you're welcome. I like it because you like it."

"laugh"

"Hehe, thanks then, Fatty!"

Ignoring his truncated and teasing remarks about Bo Ye and the other man, Lao Hu rolled his eyes, snatched the wood-chopping knife from Wang Pangzi's hand, and ran outside.

"Damn it, Lao Hu, you have no sportsmanship! Give me back my knife!"

Fatty Wang never expected that his joke would be used to trick Lao Liu, so he hurriedly chased after him.

Suddenly, only the two of them remained in the courtyard, both feeling somewhat awkward. Yingzi blushed deeply when Wang Pangzi pointed out her true feelings.

"I...I'll go settle the horse in."

Ji Haobo watched Yingzi's fleeing figure, feeling somewhat irritated. He put away his knife, lay down on the chair, and started smoking.

He looked at the panel again. He now had two chances to draw cards, but he didn't plan to save them.

With a thought, a flash of light appeared on the panel, followed by the four words: Thank you for your patronage!

Ji Haobo's face darkened. "Damn it! It's just a black iron gacha pull, and they're being so polite. It's ridiculous."

Undeterred, I used the last draw. After a flash of light, the good news was that I got an item card, but the bad news was that the picture on it was a flashlight.

However, just as he was feeling disappointed, he was delighted when he saw the card's description and thought it was really good!

Magic Flashlight: (Black Iron Card)

[Never Going Out] [Ultraviolet Rays]

Although this thing looks like just a black iron card, it's a real treasure for farming.

The feature of never going out is very practical, and the ultraviolet function is even more of a pleasant surprise.

He figured it might be useful against ghosts, but he didn't know how powerful it would be.

With a thought, something resembling a powerful flashlight appeared in his hand;

It's all black, lightweight, and has two buttons on top. The head can also retract, presumably to adjust the diffused and focused light.

Ji Haobo immediately began his experiment. When he pressed the light source button, a beam of bright light appeared, piercing the dim yellow light and illuminating the courtyard.

The UV light changed again, and it was still very good; the yard was bathed in a purple glow.

While he was examining the flashlight, Lao Hu and the others rushed in, with Fatty Wang shouting loudly.

"Master Bo...Master Bo, what's that glowing in here?!"

Its light flickered, sometimes white, sometimes purple—could it be the legendary luminous pearl?

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just a special flashlight."

Ji Haobo rolled his eyes. Seeing that the others were curious, he didn't hesitate to hand over the flashlight and explained its functions and precautions.

"You should all learn about this first, but whatever you do, don't point it at your eyes, or it could cause blindness."

Also, avoid prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays, as they can damage the skin and its cells.

Old Hu and the others excitedly took the book and took turns playing with it in the yard, making the old Party Secretary's family very strange.

The bright light was very conspicuous in the darkness and quickly attracted the attention of the neighbors. Not knowing what was going on, and not daring to come over to check, someone went to call the old Party Secretary.

When the old Party Secretary arrived not far from his house, he indeed found that white and purple lights were flashing in the yard.

If it weren't for Fatty Wang yelling inside, he probably would have turned around and run away.

Even so, the old Party Secretary still tiptoed to the door with a pounding heart;

Looking inside, I found nothing strange; it was just Xiao Hu and Xiao Wang fiddling with something that emitted light.

"You two little brats, what are you doing here? You almost scared this old man to death!"

The sudden shout of cursing made the two men who were fighting over the flashlight freeze, and they awkwardly turned to look at the old Party Secretary with a forced smile.

"Hehe, old Party Secretary, we're just discussing tactics for tonight. If any weasels really come, I'll unleash a beam of light and blind them."

"Alright, alright! What nonsense! It's already dark. Xiao Bo, why don't you guys go to Old Wang's house and keep watch?"

The old Party Secretary knew Wang Pangzi fairly well, knowing he was a smooth talker, so he didn't listen to his rambling and instead looked at Ji Haobo for his opinion.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Ji Haobo nodded, stood up from his chair, and glanced at the group of dogs beside him.

"Yingzi, you only need to take three Ao dogs; the rest can stay here."

"Well, I see"

Yingzi also knew that ordinary hunting dogs would not only be of no help but might even cause trouble if something happened, as was evident in the scene with Biaozi during the day.

Then some people went to Old Wang's house, where there was a brazier in the yard where paper was being burned.

Inside the main room, there was a coffin, surrounded by seven or eight elderly people who were playing gongs and drums, and one person was performing a shamanistic ritual.

In the middle kneeled a young man and a woman, who, judging from their mourning clothes, were probably Old Wang's son and daughter-in-law.
