Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Regarding this, the system provided an explanation.

——Every profession has its corresponding requirements, Popularity Value (Average Subscription) being the basic one; special professions will have additional assessment tasks.

Lin Chuan grumbled.

However, the system's assessment task wasn't too excessive, requiring only the excavation of two Ancient Tombs. Since one had already been excavated, unearthing another would complete the task.

Moreover, Lin Chuan had cleared three Tomb Robbing instances in the Virtual World and had also excavated an Ancient Tomb on the outskirts of Anling City in reality.

To Lin Chuan, Tomb Robbing was not a challenge.

Therefore, when Lin Chuan learned that Qin Sisi was returning to Anling for archaeology, he thought of joining in and digging an Ancient Tomb with the Archaeological Team.

If he were to excavate on his own, that would be utterly punishing!

Tomb Robbing, in reality, is divided into five major factions.

——Touching Gold, Discover Tomb, Move Mountain, Hill-Unloading, Archaeology.

The first four factions could get caught, but the Archaeology faction won't because they have a license.

"You want to try archaeology, huh? Archaeology is not bad. When Sisi arrives later, let her take you to do some archaeology," Shen Qianqian said with a smile.

Lin Chuan nodded, "Hasn't she arrived yet?"

"Let me check."

Shen Qianqian opened the chat window with Qin Sisi and sent an inquiry message.

It didn't take long for Qin Sisi to reply.

Shen Qianqian's brows lightly furrowed, and she looked up at Lin Chuan.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Chuan asked.

"She can't make it," Shen Qianqian showed Lin Chuan the message Qin Sisi replied with.

——Qianqian, I've got an emergency task all of a sudden. We, the Archaeological Team, have to go straight there, sorry about that, consider the meal on me.

"There are emergency urgent tasks in archaeology?" Lin Chuan murmured.

Shen Qianqian turned her head to look outside the window, where the sky was gloomy, and it seemed a bit stuffy, so she guessed, "Maybe it's about to rain; archaeology also needs to race against time."

Lin Chuan also looked at the weather outside and nodded.

Rainy weather indeed poses unfavorable conditions for an Archaeological Team excavating an Ancient Tomb.

On the other side.

Qin Sisi sat in the vehicle for transporting the Archaeology Team, still dressed in casual clothes, jeans + T-shirt + sports shoes, exuding a relaxed youthful vibe.

But.

Before she could even have a meal with Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian, she received an emergency task and had to gnaw on a sandwich in the car, rushing with Archaeology Team Nine to Dabao Mountain in Anling City, to meet with Archaeology Team Eight.

The vehicle wound its way through the serpentine mountain road.

The sky grew darker, and the gray hue shrouded Dabao Mountain, the outlines of the mountain range dimly visible through the haze, the winding river beside the road murmured with its flowing waters.

By the time Qin Sisi and her group reached the middle and lower reaches of Dabao River, raindrops started falling, growing heavier by the minute.

The plants and trees of Dabao Mountain were quickly enshrouded in rain and mist, becoming a blurred landscape.

Old Yao didn't care for much else and headed straight for Archaeology Team Nine as soon as he got out of the car.

He shouted, "Where's Xunfeng?"

The captain of Team Eight, Zhao Shan, met Old Yao with a worrisome expression, "Xunfeng went down to the tomb, and we've lost contact with him now!"

"He went into the tomb already?"

Old Yao looked surprised and asked with a frown.

"Yes."

Team Eight's captain Zhao Shan nodded and without extending pleasantries, said, "Yesterday, our team reached the midstream area and surveyed what seemed like an Underground Palace from the Ancient Nanyue Kingdom. Early today, Xunfeng decided to dig downward, taking people into the tomb. Two hours ago, we lost all messages from them."

Old Yao glanced at Zhao Shan. Even though they were on the same level, he couldn't help but chide him, "Old Zhao, why didn't you stop him?"

Previously, Zhong Xunfeng had shared some information with him.

This area was very likely to be the tomb of the Zhao Royal Family from the Ancient Nanyue Kingdom, which flourished in Lingnan during the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Historical records indicate that the founder of Nanyue State, Zhao Tuo, who was originally a general of Qin State, was extremely suspicious, to the extent that the Nanyue Royal Family Tomb he ordered to be constructed remained unknown, and the craftsmen who built the imperial mausoleum were all killed.

Until modern times.

A continuous stream of findings about the Ancient Nanyue Kingdom came to light, and the location of the Nanyue Royal Family Tomb was pinpointed to the Dabao Mountain area in Anling City.

The Ancient Nanyue Kingdom dominated the vast region of Lingnan, and the Nanyue Royal Family was said to have collected various treasures, which, according to legend, were buried within their Imperial Mausoleum.

Therefore, the plan to excavate the tomb of the Nanyue Royal Family was put on the agenda.

This was an extremely dangerous task because the Nanyue Royal Family Tomb was full of traps, hidden fire, and poisonous gases.

Such tombs were usually termed "fire pits" by the local experts, and one misstep could lead to being buried alive.

Now, Zhong Xunfeng had led people into the tomb.

While it was just a preliminary exploration, the sudden loss of contact was truly alarming.

Not to mention the importance of Zhong Xunfeng's identity, even if it had been an ordinary archaeologist, it was something everyone hoped to avoid.

Team Eight's captain Zhao Shan sighed, "You know Xunfeng's temperament; he disagrees with his old man and is eager to prove his own merits. Now, with the Nanyue Royal Family Tomb right beneath his feet, do you think he could hold back?"

Old Yao also sighed, "Have you guys sent someone to look for him?"

"We have, but no one was found. It's like a gigantic maze inside, and we dare not rashly enter. Xunfeng might have gotten lost in there."

Zhao Shan explained.

Old Yao's heart skipped a beat, "A maze... If he can't find his way out, he could end up trapped and die in there."

"That's why I contacted you immediately; let's go down and take a look," Team Eight's captain Zhao Shan suggested.

In the meantime.

Zhao Shan had also contacted emergency services, fire department, medical aid, and police; everything was on report, and some personnel were already on their way.
