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

After logging into the live streaming app, Chen Yibai glanced at the backend and was surprised to find that his number of followers had inexplicably skyrocketed in just two days since he last logged in.

From a few thousand followers, the number skyrocketed to over 300,000!

Anyone who didn't know better would think this was paid fake followers.

In addition, the backend messages and private messages were also flooded.

Besides a wide variety of common-sense questions about feng shui and ancient tombs, there were also some nonsensical and ridiculous questions, as well as some questions about the tomb of King Kang.

Seeing that many people were asking about the tomb of the Prince of Kang, Chen Yibai roughly guessed what was going on with the surge in his number of fans.

The result was exactly as Chen Yibai had imagined.

In just one day, the archaeological excavation of the Qishan Kangwang Tomb has become a trending topic on social media.

Furthermore, the entire short video platform is almost entirely filled with content about the tomb of King Kang of Qishan.

Also trending on the hot search list was 'Captain Chen'!

Because a blogger recorded a video of Captain Chen explaining the Kangwang Tomb for the first time during a live stream.

Looking at it now, you can see just how valuable this video is.

As a result, Chen Yibai's fan base exploded.

And this surge in fans is just the beginning.

This is definitely a good thing for Chen Yibai.

In the world of live streaming, viewership translates to money.

After all, Chen Yibai switched from being a tomb raider to selling tomb raiding talismans via live streaming, just to make money.

With money, I won't have to squeeze into this cramped, dilapidated rented room anymore.

No more scanning QR codes for shared bikes when you go out...

Clubhouse hires young models...

Put aside these unhealthy and inappropriate ideas for children.

Chen Yibai lit a cigarette and hunched over his computer, scrolling through a few more short videos reporting on the Kangwang Tomb.

The relevant municipal cultural heritage protection bureau issued three public announcements regarding the Kangwang Tomb within one day.

First, it was confirmed that an extremely large ancient tomb was unexpectedly discovered during the tunnel construction project in Qishan.

Secondly, it was acknowledged that during the archaeological work at the ancient tomb, one archaeological team and one rescue team lost contact, and it was confirmed that both perished...

Finally, under the leadership of Professor Wang Haichuan, the first archaeological study of this ancient tomb was successfully conducted, yielding significant research results. It was determined that this was the tomb of King Kang, a vassal state during the Xia and Shang dynasties. Further archaeological work is still underway…

Currently, the entire Qishan Mountain has been sealed off by special police.

As the chief commander of this archaeological expedition, Professor Wang Haichuan's name became instantly famous in the domestic archaeological community.

Interestingly, none of the official reports mentioned the appointment of this special consultant.

However, this was all within Chen Yibai's expectations. After all, if word got out that the archaeological team had hired a tomb raider as an advisor, it would definitely be a bit embarrassing.

Furthermore, Chen Yibai does not need this kind of official nomination.

After watching related news videos for a while,

Chen Yibai tidied up his live streaming equipment and started broadcasting.

"Guys, your Captain Chen is back on air!"

It's unclear whether it's due to the surge in the number of fans, or the popularity and traffic generated by topics related to 'archaeology' and 'ancient tombs'.

As soon as Chen Yibai started his live stream, hundreds of people immediately joined the chat.

The number of people entering the live stream is increasing rapidly in the hundreds.

To be honest, this is the first time Chen Yibai has ever felt this kind of "sudden fame" after doing live streaming for so long.

"Could it be that he's really going to become an internet celebrity?"

[Host, I haven't seen you stream for two days. I thought you'd been invited for questioning...]

Could it be that he went with the archaeological team to Qishan to study the tomb of King Kang?

[Haha... This streamer probably just got lucky and guessed correctly. You guys really thought he was a tomb raider?!]

As the number of viewers in the live stream increased, netizens began to spam the chat, but most of them were just rambling.

After all, the official sources didn't disclose it, so who would have thought that the streamer actually participated in the first archaeological excavation of the Kangwang Tomb?

[Host, I'm a huge fan of ancient tomb culture, I've been waiting for you all day! Hurry up and tell me about the Kang King, I know you'll know, I'll send you a sports car first!]

Before Chen Yibai could even speak, people in the live stream started spamming "sports car" in the chat.

Chen Yibai, of course, did not mention his involvement in the archaeological excavation of the Kangwang Tomb.

Seeing that fans were sending gifts and expressing curiosity about the tomb of King Kang, he cleared his throat and started the conversation, explaining, "Those of you who have watched my live streams before know that it is very likely the tomb of King Kang, a vassal state during the Xia and Shang dynasties. It seems I wasn't wrong..."

"King Kang of the Xia and Shang dynasties..."

While providing scientific information, Chen Yibai also kept a close eye on traffic generation, changing the live stream title to "[Captain Chen Live Streaming Online, Explaining the Tomb of King Kang!]"

Of course, Chen Yibai couldn't reveal the entire process of exploring the Kangwang Tomb. He only gave some basic information about the Kang Dynasty and the history and related sacrificial culture of the Kangwang Tomb during the live stream.

Even if it's just about popularizing some trivial things, Chen Yibai's live stream is currently the only one on the entire internet that's popularizing the Kangwang Tomb.

So in less than ten minutes, 80,000 people entered the live stream.

It quickly surpassed 10+ views.

It climbed into the top ten of the trending topics list across the entire internet.

However, with more people, it's inevitable that some jealous people will start to sabotage the live stream.

[This streamer really knows how to manipulate traffic! The cultural heritage protection bureau hasn't even figured anything out yet, and you're already acting like a know-it-all, giving a science popularization lecture!]

[Exactly! I just came from a history professor's place, and even he didn't know much about the Kangxi Dynasty, yet you're spouting nonsense like you've seen it with your own eyes. This is clearly just a ploy to get clicks!]

I know this streamer's specialty is talking nonsense with a straight face!

[Good grief, I'll just report it right away...]

Chen Yibai just smiled at the barking of these red-eyed dogs and didn't take it seriously.

As Chen Yibai explained the situation while thanking everyone for the gifts raining down on him, he said, "Thank you to 8TV flagship store for hosting the carnival. Please also follow 8TV flagship store..."

"Thanks to Three Little Sheep for sending the Douyin No. 1 app. Three Little Sheep is a huge internet celebrity with millions of followers. Everyone can follow him..."

"grateful……"

Chen Yibai is struggling to keep up with the sheer volume of gifts he's receiving.

Most of those who send virtual gifts are just advertising or trying to gain popularity.

[@ArchaeologyWangHaichuan, Professor Wang, come take a look! This streamer is spouting nonsense with a straight face. Aren't you going to do something about it?]

[@ArchaeologyWangHaichuan, Professor Wang, this streamer is talking nonsense. Isn't this considered fraud?]

Chen Yibai noticed that some netizens were tagging Professor Wang Haichuan repeatedly in the comments section.

Yes! This is exactly what Chen Yibai wanted.

You jealous dogs probably wouldn't even realize that the person you're tagging like crazy is actually the top-ranked player who hasn't even launched yet, right?
