Tomb Raiding: All Things Merge, Starting with 400x Strength

Zhang Hao shook his head: "The Lu Palace has already been bombed. Only a few of us know what happened inside. No matter how powerful the Water Demons are, they can't compare to the Wu family."

Even the Wu family couldn't have found clues in such a short time, let alone them.

We don't need to worry at all. Even if they really are here to cause trouble, we're not afraid.

Over the next few days, Zhang Hao rested at the Wu family's old house while searching for ways to expand storage space.

The current storage space of only 1000 cubic meters is simply not enough.

Zhang Hao thought to himself that he had only obtained storage space by merging with an abandoned warehouse, which seemed to be around 1000 cubic meters. He wondered if merging with a larger warehouse would also expand the storage space.

With that in mind, he decided to give it a try; he still had two fusion opportunities left.

So he searched online and found an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Hangzhou and decided to go and check it out.

When he drove to the abandoned factory, he found it was an abandoned winery with a very large warehouse area, at least several thousand square meters.

The distillery was abandoned, and there was no sign of anyone active nearby. The weeds outside the warehouse had grown taller than a person.

Zhang Hao reached out and touched the warehouse door. With a thought, he commanded, "System, merge the warehouse!"

[Ding, command received, fusion initiation.]

As the system notification sound faded, the abandoned warehouse in front of him vanished instantly, turning into a pool of gray liquid that enveloped him.

Zhang Hao felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as countless tiny molecules drilled into his body and merged with it.

This feeling lasted for a few minutes before the system notification sounded again.

[Ding, congratulations host, 14th fusion complete. Fusion item: Warehouse.]

[Ding! The host has successfully fused with items of the same type, with the higher-level characteristic overriding the lower-level characteristic.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the fusion item's property: 50000 cubic meters of storage space.]

"Holy crap, it actually worked!"

When Zhang Hao heard the system notification that there was 50000 cubic meters of new storage space, he shouted excitedly.

The storage space has been increased by 50 times!

Just as he thought, to have enough storage space, he needed to integrate a larger warehouse.

Furthermore, through the two fusions of the repositories, he also figured out another characteristic of the system.

That is, the All Things Fusion System can fuse items with the same characteristics. However, the benefits brought by fusion will not be cumulative. Instead, the better characteristics will override the less effective characteristics.

While the result is not bad, the effect would be even better if the effects could be combined.

The All Things Fusion System is already quite powerful; if the properties of fused items could be stacked, it would be even more incredible.

For example, fusing with one ant can give you 400 times your own body weight in strength, and fusing with two ants will give you 800 times your own body weight in strength.

I wonder if upgrading the system will unlock new features in the future, and if there will be a day when the characteristics of fused items can be stacked.

The storage space is now 50000 cubic meters, which is 50 times larger than before, and the previously cramped space has become spacious.

From now on, even if you encounter a large treasure in an ancient tomb, you can put it inside.

Originally, there were two fusion attempts left, but now that the fusion repository has been used once, there is only one left.

To increase the number of times you can enter a tomb, you must go down into the tomb.

Based on the timeline, it's about time before we set off to search for the shipwreck tombs in the Xisha Islands.

When Zhang Hao returned to the Wu family's old house that night, he received a package from Uncle Wu San, sent to him from Xingcheng.

The package contained nothing but a bronze fish with snake-like eyebrows.

The only difference between this bronze fish with snake-browed eyebrows and the one found in the Lu Palace is that it has a lot of white salt frost on its surface, which should be the one that Uncle Wu brought out from the shipwreck tomb.

Just as Zhang Hao took the snake-browed bronze fish into his hand, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish. The progress of the hidden quest "Collect the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish" has increased by 1. The current quest progress is 2/3.]

There are a total of three Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish. I've already got two. The last one is probably with Chen Pi Asi. I should visit him when I have some free time and try to get the last Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish.

After all, completing the task will reward you with five fusion attempts.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

While Zhang Hao was studying the snake-browed bronze fish in his room, someone knocked on the door from the outside, and Wu Tianzhen's voice came from inside.

"Uncle, something's happened!"

"Tianzhen, what's wrong? You seem to be in a great hurry."

"I just received a call from an unknown number. The caller said that my third uncle had gone missing in a storm while searching for a shipwreck tomb for them."

Before we set off, my third uncle told me to contact him if anything happened. Now my third uncle has been out of contact for three days, so there's a high probability that something happened to him. So he called me and asked us to go to Xisha to meet him and search for my third uncle together.

I tried to contact my third uncle, but I couldn't reach him. It seems that after we parted ways at the Lu Province airport, he didn't go to Xingcheng at all, but went directly to the South China Sea to search for the shipwreck tomb.

Zhang Hao smiled upon hearing this; Wu Tianzhen had finally shown some intelligence for once.

In addition, the plot of the tomb raiding world is not much different from what I know, except that this is a merged tomb raiding world, and the plot of the Nansha shipwreck tomb is about to begin.

"Uncle, what are you laughing at? Third Uncle is in trouble."

"Don't you know what your third uncle is capable of? He's as cunning as an old fox, he'll definitely be fine, so don't worry too much."

"My uncle is right. My third uncle is so shrewd, he'll definitely be fine."

Wu Tianzhen believed Zhang Hao's words and was originally somewhat worried about the matter.

But after hearing Zhang Hao's explanation, most of his worries vanished instantly.

"Uncle, shall we still go to the Xisha Islands?"

"Yes, of course I'll go. You make preparations first and buy tickets for the next available flight. I'll contact Yi Sa and take her with me."

Zhang Hao called Yi Sa and asked him to come to the Wu family's old house to meet them.

Yi Sa was very excited when she heard that Zhang Hao wanted to go to the Xisha Islands with her to search for the shipwreck tomb.

She arrived at the Wu family's old house less than half an hour after hanging up the phone.

"Zhang Hao, if you don't contact me soon, I'll think you've forgotten about this."

As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from her backpack and tossed it to Zhang Hao.

"This is the deposit I promised you. As for the other antiques of the same quality, they are in my Yi family's treasure vault and will be delivered to you when the time comes."

Zhang Hao took the bronze mirror and put it into his storage space with a thought.

Yi Sa had promised to give him five antiques of the same quality, hoping they would all be special items.

Half an hour later, Wu Tianzhen had bought the plane tickets.

Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie boarded a plane and flew to Nanhai Airport.

The person they contacted by phone agreed to meet at the South China Sea Wharf.

To get to the Xisha Islands, you have to take a boat from the South China Sea Port, where all the ships bound for the Xisha Islands dock.

Five hours after departing from the Wu family's old residence, the plane carrying Zhang Hao and his group landed at Nanhai Airport.

As soon as I got off the plane, a wave of heat hit me, and everyone around me had changed into cool island clothes.

As soon as Zhang Hao and his group exited the airport, someone came to greet them. The person who had spoken to Wu Tianzhen on the phone was sent by him.

He left a car and an address before departing.

An hour and a half later, Zhang Hao and his group drove to the designated location at the South China Sea Wharf, where a familiar figure appeared before them.

"Hurry, we must load all the supplies onto the ship today. If we delay any longer, we'll run into a typhoon, and our ship won't be able to withstand it."
