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

Chapter 9: Experts Dominate the Rankings, Tomb Raider Talismans Are Sought After

"Qiu Jing!"

Wang Haichuan seemed to recognize the name. He stared wide-eyed in surprise at Chen Yibai and asked, "You mean... Qiu Jing, the local policewoman?"

Wang Haichuan thought that the person Chen Yibai had specially designated was also a powerful expert, but he didn't expect that he was just a local policeman.

"Hmm!" Chen Yibai nodded with a faint smile.

After receiving confirmation from Chen Yibai, Wang Haichuan said with a puzzled look, "Mr. Chen, as far as I know, this Qiu Jing is just an ordinary local police officer..."

"Professor Wang, but I think she's very good!"

Chen Yibai interrupted Wang Haichuan, his tone firm.

Actually, there was no other meaning behind it. Chen Yibai just wanted to prove to someone that maybe it really was possible to watch porn while simultaneously learning feng shui...

I'll also bring her here to experience some excitement.

You bastard, you violated interrogation rules by handcuffing me right off the bat...

Seeing Chen Yibai's firm tone, Wang Haichuan figured that requesting a temporary transfer of a local police officer wouldn't be difficult, so he didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Wang Haichuan agreed, Chen Yibai continued, "As for the hiring fee... I won't ask for it. After we come out of the Kangwang Tomb, you just need to be the number one fan in my live stream for a month!"

Being the top spender in the live stream for a whole month?

What a novel payment method!

Wang Haichuan was initially worried that Chen Yibai would ask for an exorbitant fee. Although Chen Yibai was an external consultant, his superiors were unlikely to pay too much, and he would most likely have to pay out of his own pocket.

If Chen Yibai were to ask for an exorbitant fee, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, he simply wouldn't be able to afford it.

But when Wang Haichuan heard that Chen Yibai didn't want any money, and only asked that he be the number one fan in his live stream for a month, he immediately agreed.

Chen Yibai's live stream only has about a hundred viewers, and he can easily become the top viewer by simply sending some gifts.

If you're ranked number one on the leaderboard for a whole month, at most how much money can you spend on gifts?

"Mr. Chen, besides these, do you have any other requests?"

None of the points Chen Yibai mentioned were problems for Wang Haichuan.

"Gone!"

Chen Yibai shook his head and said, "I'll make a shopping list for you later. You must arrange to buy everything today. We'll meet up and set off tomorrow. To avoid chaos, try not to bring too many people!"

"OK, no problem!"

Wang Haichuan couldn't wait to leave, so he nodded readily and gave Yang Qingyun a look, signaling her to get the notes.

Yang Qingyun was now completely baffled by Chen Yibai. Holding a fountain pen, she frantically wrote down what Chen Yibai said in her notebook: black donkey hooves, white candles, glutinous rice flour, sandalwood, ink line, soybeans...

Although they were supposed to be doing archaeological work, Yang Qingyun looked at the two pages full of "strange" notes and almost thought they were going to catch ghosts.

"Oh right, and the tomb raiding talisman!"

Chen Yibai suddenly remembered something more important.

"There's even a tomb raiding talisman?" Yang Qingyun looked at Chen Yibai with surprise. Black donkey hooves were one thing, but to actually have a tomb raiding talisman was just outrageous!

"Where am I supposed to buy a tomb raiding talisman?"

Yang Qingyun looked at Chen Yibai with a frown, feeling that this was completely absurd, and asked.

Chen Yibai smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Go to my live stream at 7 PM tonight to grab it. If you want an extra layer of security, the entire archaeology team should wear it. And remember to leave a full five-star review when you get back!"

Uh!

Wang Haichuan looked at Chen Yibai with a very peculiar gaze, a gaze that seemed to speak volumes: "You really know how to play games, going to the live stream to snatch the Tomb Raider Talisman? Are you afraid I won't pay you if you buy it offline?"

Of course not, Chen Yibai just wanted these archaeological experts to help boost sales...

After leaving the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, Chen Yibai took a taxi to the vegetable market to select a few black dog legs that were of relatively good quality.

All you need to make a tomb raiding talisman is a black dog's paw; the remaining meat can be used to make a dog meat hot pot for dinner.

After leaving the vegetable market, Chen Yibai visited the antique market and bought a bronze sword for a thousand yuan from an antique shop.

The bronze sword is four feet long and three fingers wide, with a sharp edge. The blade is engraved with geometric patterns, and the hilt is shaped like a Qilin beast. The entire sword is soaked in chemical solution, resulting in red and green rust spots. It is a modern imitation that is obviously fake.

It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, as long as it's bronze.

Bronze weapons have magical attacks against evil spirits, so just grab a bronze sword and carry it with you; it might come in handy someday.

7 p.m.

Chen Yibai started the broadcast on time.

Archaeologist Wang Haichuan gifted a carnival.

As soon as the broadcast started, the carnival's special effects were so amazing that people who didn't know better would think it was a special effect for a new version update.

"Thank you, Professor Wang, for bringing the carnival!"

Chen Yibai expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Wang Haichuan had promised to become the top influencer after leaving the Kangwang Tomb, and now he's already started posting, which means he really is that person.

With an archaeological expert present, the overall quality of the live stream naturally improved.

Furthermore, the live streaming platform will automatically push traffic based on the live streaming data.

This is Chen Yibai's main objective.

Within minutes, about a hundred people flooded into the live stream, and the number was still increasing.

"Hey guys, welcome to Captain Chen's live stream! Tonight, we'll stick to our usual format: making tomb raiding talismans live, and giving a free lesson on feng shui, ancient tombs, and the I Ching..."

"Because the talismans I made yesterday were so popular, I'll be streaming longer today to make more. If you need any, please check your internet speed and be ready to make sure you're fast enough..."

[The streamer is bragging, saying a single tomb-raiding talisman costs 8,900. Where are there so many such treasures? If you can sell five more today, I'll call you daddy!]

Questions immediately arose in the live stream.

However, Chen Yibai did not want to acknowledge this adopted son.

Meanwhile, on Wang Haichuan's side...

Listening to Chen Yibai's words, "Check your internet speed, get ready to use your speed," it felt like he was talking to himself.

A single tomb raiding talisman costs nine thousand eight hundred yuan, which even Wang Haichuan found painful.

"Qingyun, have you finished the count? How many people went in total?"

Wang Haichuan turned to look at Yang Qingyun beside him and asked.

Yang Qingyun checked in her mind again and said, "Teacher, including you, me, this anchor, and three other team members, the archaeological team has six people. The Municipal Bureau has also assigned us a special police security team of six people, plus Qiu Jing, so the whole team is thirteen people!"

Thirteen people!

If we exclude Chen Yibai himself and the one he bought yesterday, that means he still needs eleven more, which would cost over 100,000.

The important thing is that this expense cannot be reimbursed.

We can't exactly report to our superiors that we spent nearly 110,000 yuan on tomb raiding talismans, can we?

If we don't buy it, and it turns out that the Tomb Raider Talisman really does provide an extra layer of security, as Chen Yibai said, and someone dies because of it, then it won't be worth it.

As the saying goes, it's not the ten thousand that's scary, but the one in ten thousand.

Therefore, for the safety of all team members, Wang Haichuan had no choice but to reluctantly pay out of his own pocket.

After all, I was the chief commander of this archaeological expedition.

As people get older, they value reputation more than money!

grab!

High-end tomb raiding talismans often only require the simplest and most basic production methods. After working for an hour, Master Chen finally finished making five tomb raiding talismans on the spot while chatting with netizens. He held up the newly made talismans to the camera to show the details, and then shouted: "3! 2! 1! Connect!"

[I ordered the chicken stew with mushrooms from link number one]

Insufficient quantity of goods!

Refresh the product page again, and it's sold out!

The moment Chen Yibai finished saying "connect," the five Tomb Raider Talismans were instantly destroyed.

what's the situation?

The ID 'Chicken Stew with Mushrooms' doesn't seem to belong to Wang Haichuan, does it?

Originally, Chen Yibai made the Tomb Raider Talismans for Wang Haichuan and his team, just to boost sales through a platform. How did a mysterious buyer suddenly appear and buy all five at once? And pay instantly!

Has she already built such a solid public image?

Wang Haichuan was equally bewildered.

Wang Haichuan originally thought that the tomb raiding talismans Chen Yibai made in the live broadcast room wouldn't sell, since one cost 8,900 yuan!

There aren't that many people with nothing better to do or too much money to burn, who would buy this kind of thing?

Unexpectedly, they were all sold out instantly upon release, and by one person in particular. I was a little too slow and didn't manage to snag a single item.

These days, are tomb raiding talismans becoming hot-selling items?

"Qingyun, share this live stream with Xiaosun and the other two. Let them join the live stream and grab the items together. They can come back to me for reimbursement later!"

Wang Haichuan gritted his teeth. Since he couldn't get one phone, he would use several at the same time.

"Good teacher."

Yang Qingyun took out her phone and shared the live stream with three other colleagues.

Distinguished archaeological experts teamed up to grab gold talismans in a live stream, glued to their phones?

This art style looks a bit outrageous.

[Archaeological expert enters the live stream]

[Archaeologist Sun Dachang enters the live broadcast room]

【archeology……】

【archeology……】

Suddenly, a large number of archaeological experts entered the live broadcast room.

This scene stunned the viewers in the live stream.

[Am I seeing things? The entire team of archaeological experts has joined the live stream?]

What's going on? A streamer selling tomb-raiding charms shocks archaeological experts?

I have a feeling this streamer is destined for stardom!

When Chen Yibai saw so many archaeological experts flooding into the live stream, he already guessed what it meant.

If you can't get one account, you try to grab one in a group, right?

This was yet another unexpected outcome of the live stream.

However, so that the experts wouldn't have to wait too long, Chen Yibai said, "Brothers who didn't manage to grab one in the live stream, don't worry. How about I just pre-order 20 first? We can finish them all today, and we'll ship them out immediately!"

"Everyone, get your internet speed and hand speed ready!"

"321! Link again!"

[I ordered the chicken stew with mushrooms from link number one]

Archaeologist Wang Haichuan purchased item number one from the online store.

[Archaeologist Qingyun has purchased item number one from link #1]

[Archaeologist Sun Dachang purchased item from link number one]

【archeology……】

【archeology……】

This time, the mysterious buyer with the ID 'Chicken Stew with Mushrooms' also made another big purchase, this time buying 10 at once.

The remaining 10 were taken by the archaeological expert team.

Purchase information dominated the comments section, with all the buyers starting their posts with the word "archaeology," which completely baffled the viewers in the live stream.

What's happening here?

The "tomb raiding talisman" costs 8,900 yuan each, and some people buy 10 at a time. Archaeological experts even formed a group to scramble for them.
