Chapter 18

"Your name really fits you; you're just too naive and innocent!"

"That Warring States silk manuscript wasn't sold to the Americans by your grandfather; he was just deceived."

"How did he become a sinner through the ages? Don't listen to those internet trolls."

"They are all keyboard warriors jealous of your Old Nine Gates Wu family. If these people cursing your family had your background, they'd be hanging it around their necks to show off every single day."

"And now, you, the dignified third generation of the Old Nine Gates Wu family, act as if you've committed a grave error."

Wang Pangzi was still brooding, while Tianzhen looked at him with a smile.

Tianzhen had long known that Wang Pangzi's strong reaction was merely because he regretted the rubbing being taken away, leaving him unable to go tomb raiding himself.

Seeing Wang Pangzi still acting awkward, Tianzhen smiled and said: "Alright, stop yapping."

"When Professor Chen left, he let me take photos of the rubbing."

"We can still study the content on this rubbing."

Hearing this, Wang Pangzi felt a bit better.

But he still said dejectedly: "What's the use of having a rubbing?"

"The authorities have stepped in, so they're definitely going to use the rubbing to conduct archaeology and enter the tomb."

"Usually, once the authorities are involved in a tomb, private individuals won't participate anymore. We've missed our first chance to go tomb raiding for nothing."

Wu Tianzhen, however, smiled and said: "Who said we missed the chance?"

"Professor Chen and the others have already found the location of the Blood Corpse Tomb based on Mr. Zhang's storytelling."

"And because I handed over the rubbing, it can help them quickly crack the secrets of the silk manuscript."

"Therefore, Professor Chen invited me to participate in the Blood Corpse Tomb archaeology!"

"Of course, since I'm so loyal, I definitely asked for a spot for you too."

Hearing this, Wang Pangzi practically jumped three feet high!

His lips were trembling with excitement.

"The ancestral grave is smoking with blue smoke, the ancestral grave is smoking with blue smoke!"

"No wonder I heard magpies chirping on the window early this morning."

"So there really was a happy event! I, Lord Pang, am finally going to raid a tomb!"

……

At the same time, the National Institute of Archaeology also released information to the public.

First, the authorities have already found the location of the Blood Corpse Tomb.

The Blood Corpse Tomb archaeology is about to begin!

Second, the lost Warring States silk manuscript rubbing has been found, and the authorities are currently studying it; they will announce it to the public as soon as there are results.

The National Institute of Archaeology also specifically thanked the Wu family.

Stating clearly that it was precisely because of the Wu family's generosity that the Institute was able to obtain the precious silk manuscript rubbing.

The National Institute of Archaeology is the absolute top-tier institution in the Xia Kingdom.

This news they released quickly landed on all major trending lists!

It even overshadowed the spotlight on Huo Huo Xiangu of the Lower Three Gates from Zhang Lin's third storytelling session.

When Zhang Lin saw this news at home, he didn't have any particular reaction.

Don't look at how the whole country is rejoicing now, celebrating the discovery of the Warring States ancient tomb.

But Zhang Lin knows that this Blood Corpse Tomb is extremely terrifying.

In the tomb-raiding comprehensive world, its level of thrill is ranked quite high!

Not to mention the blood corpses, mechanisms, and thousand-year-old corpse puppets that appear inside.

Any one of them is a formidable character capable of wiping out the entire archaeological team.

Zhang Lin estimates that the archaeological team will definitely suffer losses this time.

However, for him, it's a good opportunity for storytelling.

The stories of the Old Nine Gates are legendary, but there aren't many actual tomb-raiding events.

People who came to listen to stories for the sake of tomb-raiding legends, while they liked them, never had a reaction as strong as the initial Blood Corpse Tomb.

Now, taking advantage of the heat of the archaeological team entering the Blood Corpse Tomb.

Zhang Lin can just happen to intersperse some rankings and inventories of the Blood Corpse Tomb's mechanisms and fierce, evil objects based on the archaeological team's progress!

Zhang Lin knows that when people in this world see the Blood Corpse Tomb's mechanisms for the first time.

They will definitely be amazed, but in reality, in the entire tomb-raiding world, the ranking of these things can only be at the bottom.

Thinking about it, an inventory of mechanisms, evil objects, and dangerous tombs will definitely cause a sensation in the Xia Kingdom.

In this way, Zhang Lin's storytelling points can grow rapidly!

At this moment, Zhang Lin is wholeheartedly planning his storytelling content.

Although he possesses the Zhang Qilin bloodline and is proficient in the movement techniques of the Mountain-Moving leaders.

But now is not the time for him to take action!

In this world, there are still some people hiding in the dark who haven't come out.

For example, the omnipresent Wang family, and the Feng family of the Guanshan Taibao who yearn to become immortals.

These people are all dangerous elements.

Zhang Lin decided to use this Blood Corpse Tomb to lure this group of people out!

Only by keeping the enemy in the open is it easier to avoid some risks.

Moreover, the Blood Corpse Tomb is just an appetizer; the terrifyingly dangerous tombs that follow are the main course.

The mechanisms and monsters inside are countless times more powerful than those in the Blood Corpse Tomb.

Someone has to serve as the vanguard for tomb raiding!

……

PS: Seeking flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, and tips. Thank you, everyone!

The authorities moved quickly; before Zhang Lin's day off was over, the archaeological team had already been assembled.

The news of the official archaeology of the Blood Corpse Tomb caused a sensation almost across the entire country!

While some were praising the archaeological team, they didn't forget that all of this was because of a storyteller in Sanqing Garden!

If it weren't for Zhang Lin, neither the Blood Corpse Tomb nor the Warring States silk manuscript rubbing would have been discovered by the authorities.

For a time, it also piqued the curiosity of more people to go online and click on clips of Zhang Lin's storytelling.

Looking at the constantly increasing storytelling points in the system, Zhang Lin was also very satisfied.

At this rate, it won't be long before he can accumulate enough for his second King-tier draw.

Zhang Lin is also looking forward to what he can draw in the second King-tier draw!

The first Zhang Qilin bloodline and the Nine-Death Shocking Tomb Armor had already surprised him enough.

Zhang Lin couldn't think of anything else that could be more powerful than these two things.

……

It was three days later when Zhang Lin opened his voice again at Sanqing Garden.

This time, Sanqing Garden was still packed to the rafters.

Scalper tickets were even selling for more than before!

Old Lady Huo came to listen to the story alone this time, and Huo Huo Hongxiu, who was always by her side, was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Old Lady Huo appear alone, Zhang Yueshan said to Yin Yin Nanfeng: "This old lady probably sent her granddaughter to raid the tomb."

Yin Yin Nanfeng said with some surprise: "The Huo family can still establish a connection with the National Institute of Archaeology?"

Who knew Zhang Yueshan would sneer and say: "Even without connecting to the Institute of Archaeology, the women of the Huo family can still raid tombs."

The meaning was clear: Huo Huo Hongxiu was likely following the archaeological team to sneak into the ancient tomb.

Because Pangzi and Tianzhen were following the archaeological team to raid the tomb, they didn't come to listen to the story this time.

After Zhang Lin took the stage, he also glanced at the position where he had previously seen the Little Brother, only to find that the Little Brother wasn't there today either.

Zhang Lin pondered for a moment and understood that the Little Brother must have followed the archaeological team.

However, Zhang Lin didn't know in what capacity he was participating.

The Zhang family is skilled in the art of disguise.

If the Little Brother wants to sneak into the archaeological team, he has plenty of ways!
