Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

25 Tomb Raider Talismans, total sales of 220,000, net profit of 215,000!

This was yet another live-streaming sales event that made a fortune.

With a profit margin of 8900%, this must be the most profitable live-streaming e-commerce platform on the entire internet, right?

The profit margin far surpasses that of all other live-streaming e-commerce hosts across the entire internet.

However, in order to make online sales of the "treasure talisman" even better in the future, it is also important to improve offline business.

The next morning.

Chen Yibai got up early and first sent out the 15 Tomb Raider Talismans that the mysterious buyer who had appeared in the live broadcast room last night had purchased.

Then I took a taxi to the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, an archaeological team of twelve people, led by Wang Haichuan, had already gathered.

The archaeological expert group consists of five people. Apart from Wang Haichuan and Yang Qingyun, the other three are also experts and scholars from the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics Protection who are proficient in various archaeological fields. They are elite talents.

Due to the special nature of this archaeological mission, a special operations team of seven special police officers also came to assist.

The special operations team was fully armed with live ammunition, a formation comparable to going to the front lines of war.

However, although it is said to be seven special police officers, it is more accurate to say that there are 6 plus 1.

Six special police officers plus a female local police officer from the local police station.

Because no one explained the situation to Qiu Jing, she couldn't figure out how she, an ordinary police officer from a local police station, could suddenly be assigned such a special field mission.

Could it be that someone is secretly giving me a chance to make a contribution and get promoted?

Then you must perform well, strive to make meritorious contributions, and then apply to be transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team!

"Professor Wang, it's almost ten o'clock now, why hasn't the person we're waiting for arrived yet?"

At this moment, Yan Wanlei, the captain of the special police, checked the time on his watch, then came to Wang Haichuan's side and asked him in surprise.

What puzzled Yan Wanlei was who this important figure was, putting on such airs that so many experts were waiting at the entrance of the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau.

And we've been waiting for almost two hours.

In fact, Wang Haichuan had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

We agreed to meet at eight o'clock this morning, but it's already past nine o'clock and we still haven't seen Chen Yibai.

Aren't tomb raiders supposed to be the most disciplined? How come they have absolutely no sense of time?

Yang Qingyun was also anxiously waiting.

Not only was Yang Qingyun impatient, but she was also a little suspicious. She quietly pulled Wang Haichuan aside and whispered, "Teacher, could that guy surnamed Chen be a swindler? Did he deliberately make up a pretense just to trick us into buying his tomb-raiding talisman?"

Upon hearing Yang Qingyun's words, Wang Haichuan's heart immediately jumped into his throat.

I'm old and have a heart condition, don't scare me!

Wang Haichuan was risking his reputation, built up over most of his life, to believe Chen Yibai. If he were to be deceived, he would be truly finished.

Drop drop!

That is, not long after Yang Qingyun finished speaking.

A taxi arrived at the entrance of the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau and came to a smooth stop in front of the crowd.

The back door opened, and Chen Yibai, dressed casually and carrying a bronze sword on his back, stepped out of the taxi with an air of nonchalance, under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

click!

Oh no, the bronze sword is too long, it's stuck on the truck door...

Damn it! My attempt to show off failed!

A dozen pairs of eyes stared at Chen Yibai's bizarre appearance, all of them frowning in bewilderment.

Only when Wang Haichuan saw Chen Yibai did he feel relieved and hurriedly went to greet him, but he couldn't help but take a closer look at the bronze sword on Chen Yibai's back.

Hidden masters are often extraordinary people.

It seems plausible that a tomb raider would carry a weapon.

To Wang Haichuan's surprise, the bronze sword Chen Yibai was carrying on his back was an obviously fake, artificially aged object.

There are wholesale options at the Dongshichang Antique City; they're 200 yuan a bunch, and there are discounts for bulk orders.

You're carrying around a broken bronze sword, are you just trying to show off?

"Mr. Chen, why are you only arriving now?"

Although Wang Haichuan had some doubts, he didn't ask directly.

After all, this was a specially appointed consultant whom I personally invited. Even if he was just trying to show off, I couldn't point it out, otherwise wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face?

"Sorry, I just delivered a few packages on my way here, and I got stuck in traffic for a while because of the morning rush hour..."

Chen Yibai gave a forced smile, then glanced at the archaeological team again.

There were about ten people, which wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small number either.

In particular, the seven-person special operations team, fully armed with real guns and ammunition, gives people a strong sense of security.

However, Chen Yibai was not sure if these firearms would be effective if there were really rice dumplings or something in the ancient tomb.

Because in Chen Yibai's previous life, he had never actually seen a bullet hit a rice dumpling.

"Professor Wang, is this the person we've been waiting for...?"

At this moment, Yan Wanlei, the special operations captain, also came over. He first looked at Chen Yibai with a special gaze, then looked at Wang Haichuan and asked in a very questioning tone.

"Yes, this is Mr. Chen, a specially appointed consultant invited by the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau..."

Wang Haichuan nodded in introduction, and wanted to further explain Chen Yibai's identity as a tomb raider, but then thought better of it.

After all, Chen Yibai was hired out of his own pocket to help, so if this archaeological expedition achieves anything significant, the credit will definitely go to him.

If we portray Chen Yibai as incredibly impressive, wouldn't that overshadow our own brilliance?

Upon hearing that Chen Yibai was indeed the person the archaeological team was waiting for, Yan Wanlei's expression became even more exaggeratedly surprised.

Yan Wanlei was still wondering what kind of remarkable person this specially appointed consultant was who could make the archaeological expert team wait for two hours.

Unexpectedly, it was a young man, and he was carrying a broken bronze sword on his back.

Do archaeologists really need bronze swords?

Is this thing any better than the Type 95 rifle I have?

Could it be just a prank?

However, although Yan Wanlei was very puzzled, he did not say it directly.

Yan Wanlei's task was to protect the safety of the archaeological expert team, while Wang Haichuan was the overall commander of the team, responsible for all personnel scheduling and arrangements. Therefore, he didn't need to ask too many questions that were unrelated to his own mission.

Qiu Jing was also extremely shocked.

Although Yan Wanlei didn't know Chen Yibai, Qiu Jing did.

Two days ago, he was interrogated by himself as if he were a tomb raider, and half a month ago he was detained for spreading obscene information.

How did he suddenly become a specially appointed consultant for authoritative archaeological experts?

Is the difference really that big?

Is it really possible for someone to watch pornography, study feng shui on their own, and then become a specially appointed consultant for an archaeological expert?

Isn't this a bit too inspiring?

Although Qiu Jing was shocked, she had no right to speak here.

Even the captain didn't say anything, so Qiu Jing pretended not to know Chen Yibai. Her only thought was to find an opportunity to make a contribution!

How could a top student who graduated with a degree in criminal investigation be content to be a beat cop at a local police station?

I must earn merit and apply for a transfer to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team!

"Alright, everyone's here now, let's get in the car and go!"

Wang Haichuan said loudly.

A convoy of three Prado police cars and two vehicles bearing the logo of the Municipal Cultural Relics Protection Bureau set off in a grand procession toward Qishan.

This is the third scientific expedition to the mysterious tomb at Qishan.

However, it was the tomb raider who led the team...

More than an hour later.

The archaeological convoy entered Qishan, 50 kilometers outside the city.

The entire Qishan Mountain stretches for hundreds of kilometers, with the highest elevation approaching two thousand meters. The peaks are steep, and strange rocks abound. Some areas are even nature reserves.

At the foot of the mountain in the southeast of Qishan, a railway needs to be built, which requires a tunnel through the mountain. The engineering drawings plan to build a 35-kilometer tunnel.

The project has been halfway completed, but an ancient tomb was unexpectedly discovered inside the mountain, so construction has been temporarily suspended.

On the way here, Wang Haichuan explained the situation to Chen Yibai in detail.

Both the archaeological teams and the search and rescue teams lost contact after entering the tunnel opened by the tunnel boring machine.

Therefore, Wang Haichuan also advocated supporting Chen Yibai's previous suggestion to first find the entrance to the ancient tomb.

Enter the tomb through the actual entrance.

However, given how vast Mount Qi is, it seems that only the legendary tomb raiders' dragon-seeking and gold-dividing techniques could possibly find the entrance to the ancient tomb.

To find the dragon vein and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains. Each winding mountain is a barrier. If there are eight dangerous barriers, it will not go beyond the shape of Yin and Yang Bagua!

Wang Haichuan knew that this tomb-raiding formula was based on feng shui for finding tombs.

But Wang Haichuan wouldn't!

Wang Haichuan is an archaeology expert who is well-versed in history and ancient burial methods, but he knows nothing about feng shui.

This is the difference between archaeological experts and skilled tomb raiders.

Therefore, Wang Haichuan asked Yan Wanlei to use drones to survey the terrain around Qishan Mountain, and even prepared high-definition satellite images of the entire Qishan Mountain in advance to facilitate Chen Yibai in determining the burial site based on feng shui.

Wang Haichuan is also looking forward to it.

I look forward to witnessing firsthand how these legendary folk tomb raiders use the feng shui techniques of "finding the dragon vein, dividing the gold, and observing the winding mountains" to locate the entrance to ancient tombs.

Is the Tomb Raider's Dragon-Seeking and Gold-Dividing Technique really as amazing as the legends say?
