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

Faced with Chen Yibai's unwavering and decisive rejection, Wang Haichuan simply smiled awkwardly, showing no surprise whatsoever, as if everything was within his expectations.

If Chen Yibai had readily agreed, Wang Haichuan might have been caught off guard.

After all, he hadn't kept his promise to top the rankings after returning from the tomb of King Kang of Qishan. If it were him, he wouldn't take on this job again.

But this time, Wang Haichuan came prepared.

Wang Haichuan first smiled and took out the item from his pocket, handing it over regardless of whether Chen Yibai accepted it or not, praising him first: "Captain Chen, even the Heavenly Path Society can get in, and you say you can't handle it, that's really being modest and low-key..."

"As long as you're willing to help again, this time we'll be straightforward with the payment—a fixed price. You name your price, and as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll apply to my superiors!"

What? You're afraid to mention the number one spot this time?

Chen Yibai casually took the cigarette. Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well see just how sincere Wang Haichuan was!

Wang Haichuan continued, "Captain Chen, I know that with your status as a top-tier internet celebrity with hundreds of millions of followers, you're not short of a small fee! But there's one very important point: this is a collaboration with the official authorities, and the benefits are definitely not just simple money. Right now, those top-tier internet celebrities are desperately looking for opportunities to collaborate with the authorities, but they haven't had that chance yet..."

Once it's done, I'll apply to the higher authorities to award you a red medal. In the future, when you do live streams, use this red medal as a backdrop. It's not just about prestige; it's like an ancient imperial pardon. As long as you don't do anything particularly outrageous during your live streams, like smoking, the live streaming platform won't dare to touch you!

"Captain Chen, just imagine, you'd be smoking a cigarette in your livestream, explaining feng shui to your fans—how impressive would that be?"

It has to be said that Wang Haichuan has lived a long and shrewd life, and his promises are incredibly grand and impressive. He gets more and more excited as he talks, and it seems that if I had the ability, I would have loved to take the plunge myself.

Furthermore, what Wang Haichuan said is indeed quite attractive; these days, having a bit of a red background is really appealing.

But Chen Yibai, smoking a cigarette, wore a knowing smile and wasn't buying Wang Haichuan's act at all.

This old man has such a thick skin. What if he goes back on his word? In broad daylight, in this society governed by law, we can't just bite him, can we?

After saying that, Wang Haichuan looked at Chen Yibai smoking and remaining indifferent, and this time he was clearly starting to get a little anxious.

He won't even eat such a big pancake?

This was the most tempting offer Wang Haichuan could come up with.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

However, Chen Yibai immediately stubbed out his cigarette, breaking the awkward silence, and looked at Wang Haichuan with a smile: "Professor Wang, I'm a pretty straightforward person, and I can be patriotic. It's not that I can't help you with this favor, but! Besides what you just mentioned, I have two more conditions. If you can meet them, I'll go; if either is missing, there's absolutely no room for discussion!"

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Wang Haichuan nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice, repeatedly saying, "Captain Chen, please speak, please speak..."

Chen Yibai kept everyone in suspense, saying directly, "First, because this Gu Tomb is extremely dangerous, I'm not 100% confident, so I can't lead the team; I'll have to go by myself!"

The implication is clear: I'm going to travel by myself this time and I'm not taking you guys with me!

Chen Yibai had learned from his experience at the Qishan Kangwang Tomb, and this time he absolutely could not bring a team of burdens again, as having them act as both father and mother would seriously affect his speed in drawing his sword.

Wang Haichuan seemed to have thought of this as well, and he readily nodded in agreement: "Captain Chen, I can explain the situation to my superiors. It's not a big problem. What about the other condition?"

Wang Haichuan's "not a big problem" was actually a rather conservative answer; to be precise, it should have been "absolutely no problem."

Because the police also knew that entering the primeval tropical rainforest in southern Yunnan was very difficult and not something that ordinary people could adapt to, they did not dare to risk letting people in easily.

That's why we sought out Chen Yibai, to let him get through this difficult time first.

"As for the second point..."

Chen Yibai made himself a cup of tea, squinted, and said, "Secondly, I want the entire process to be live-streamed. No matter what happens in the middle, you must coordinate with the official live-streaming website to ensure my account isn't banned! You also need to provide me with a dedicated live-streaming line to guarantee a smooth connection!"

The main reason Chen Yibai accepted the help was to broadcast the entire process live.

Chen Yibai is worried because he has hundreds of millions of fans but no truly compelling live-streaming programs.

If they agree, this will be the most hardcore live stream program online, making him a man firmly standing at the top of the online live stream pyramid!

After speaking, Chen Yibai observed Wang Haichuan's expression and waited for his response.

It was clear that upon hearing the second condition, Wang Haichuan's eyes first lit up with joy, then quickly suppressed. He frowned, grinned, and said with a troubled expression, "Captain Chen, your condition is quite unusual. I can only try to discuss it with your superiors. I feel that even if they agree to your condition, negotiating the hiring fee will be difficult..."

Old thing!

Chen Yibai thought to himself, "Old man!"

You dare to play hard to get in front of me?

Chen Yibai had already noticed from the barely suppressed joy in Wang Haichuan's eyes that he was secretly pleased with himself, but he was deliberately pretending to be in a difficult position, wanting to play the good guy again!

This is similar to the "bargaining" in the antique trade. Even if you come across a good item and the seller offers a satisfactory price, you still have to pretend to be interested!

I'm a tomb raider, these tricks are all overused!

So Chen Yibai raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Professor Wang, if this condition is too difficult, then let's forget about it..."

After saying this, Chen Yibai got up to leave.

Seeing this, Wang Haichuan quickly stopped him with a smile, nodding vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, saying, "Captain Chen, don't worry, don't worry! It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal! Then it's settled, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond! I'll go buy the plane tickets now, there's a flight early tomorrow morning, a direct flight to Yunnan..."

In fact, just as Chen Yibai had thought.

Wang Haichuan was just pretending; in reality, he was incredibly excited when he heard Chen Yibai's conditions for starting a live stream.

Because Chen Yibai went in alone, he knew nothing about what was happening inside.

It just so happens that Chen Yibai is live streaming, so he can keep track of what's going on inside.

This is undoubtedly a win-win situation!
