Chapter 57 Money Makes the World Go Round

"I have been studying this theory, and it indeed exists, but I don't know why it didn't develop in the Great Qin. If we consider the capabilities of the Great Qin, Confucianism should have been the earliest origin."

Professor Zhan adjusted his glasses. This was no ordinary matter.

"Perhaps, we can find out the reason here."

The other professors watching the scene agreed.

The dean, observing the situation, felt that Zhou Lin might know.

Zhou Lin's abilities were far greater than he had imagined.

Inside the tomb.

"You cannot take these books away. They are my life."

One of the spirits spoke coldly.

"Why not? Don't you wish for these books to be known to the world?"

Professor Lin was terrified, but the thought of these books not being taken out, and history not being told to everyone, made him feel distressed and unwilling. He asked.

"These books cannot leave our sight. Who knows if you will destroy them? This is our life's work, and it absolutely cannot be destroyed again."

"Anyone who dares to touch my books will face certain death."

As the middle-aged man in the lead finished speaking, flames continuously billowed from his body.

Elder Tang looked at the middle-aged man and the flames on his body.

They felt so wronged.

They hadn't done anything.

"Hey, don't be unreasonable. We only said we would take them out, not that we would do anything. Why are you so angry?"

The historian felt that these people might be delusional. Who wouldn't get angry?

Professor Lin looked at the historian.

"Historian, you are truly brave to reason with a spirit!"

Professor Lin found his thinking to be quite erratic.

"I spoke too quickly and wasn't paying attention, but I'm still angry. We haven't said anything yet, and you're acting like you want to eat us."

The historian also misspoke.

"Instead of asking me, why don't you ask Zhou Lin? Perhaps Zhou Lin knows."

The architecture champion looked at Zhou Lin and gestured with his eyes.

Elder Tang also realized that only Zhou Lin seemed unfazed by all of this.

But he didn't dare to ask. Asking would cost money.

He didn't even know if the previous funds could be approved, and now if Zhou Lin asked for a sky-high price...

Elder Tang fell into a dilemma.

"Your deaths are your own business. We won't touch your things. Now, get out of our way."

Before Elder Tang could speak, Zhou Lin spoke first, questioning them.

"Get out of the way? You touched these things before, and now you want to leave? Dream on."

One of the men's bodies erupted in flames, and finally, his eyes were filled with fire. A burst of flames shot towards the archaeological team and the others.

"Down!"

The security personnel behind them immediately brought out shields, successfully blocking the flames.

The people behind them were lying on the ground.

Seeing that their flames were useless, the other spirits began to attack the professors.

The air, already hot, was now filled with flames, and the temperature rose significantly higher than before.

The historian and the architecture champion quickly covered their hair with their hands.

After a while, they felt their scalps burning.

Hearing the architecture champion's cry, the historian quickly looked and saw that his lush hair had caught fire. He quickly used his hands to pat it out.

It took a while to extinguish the flames on his head, but then his clothes behind him started to catch fire.

For a moment, all the archaeological team members and participants were frantically putting out fires, and sweat poured from them.

In the live broadcast room.

"Oh my god, isn't this going too far? They can't leave? They put the books down and it's still not okay? They're just setting fires? Isn't this too much?"

"Can we still have a good time playing? Is this grilled fish? Are you grilling fish? How are they going to get out of this?"

"This is bad. Even if the fire is put out, won't they get blisters? That must hurt so much!"

"Exactly! It looks painful. First their bodies catch fire, then their butts catch fire. Did they die by burning, and now they want others to die by burning too?"

...

Zhou Lin stood behind the security personnel, quietly observing the spirits. These guys couldn't play fair.

Then he glanced at the electronic screen.

Holy crap, when did the points get so high? It was tens of millions before, and now it's hundreds of millions?

Did killing that giant snake cause the points to increase so much?

Why didn't he notice before?

Zhou Lin tried to recall. He seemed to remember something about it, but at the time, he was looking for the inner core and didn't pay attention.

Never mind, let's see what good stuff there is.

A character '风' (wind) appeared on the electronic screen.

There was only 'wind', but it cost fifty million to redeem...

"So expensive? What is it?"

"Redeem 'wind'."

Zhou Lin decided to try it out, to see what this thing was.

[Ding, redemption successful.]

[Wind, one of the Wind Thunder Divine Curses. With a gentle blow, it can generate wind. The wind force can be adjusted according to the host's own strength.]

The system's voice echoed in his mind.

Zhou Lin felt this was good and decided to try it.

"Little friend Zhou Lin."

Before Zhou Lin could try it, he heard Elder Tang's voice. He looked towards the sound and saw Elder Tang covered in black smoke.

His clothes were burned with several holes.

His face had black "patterns" mixed with dust and sweat.

"Oh my, Elder Tang, what happened to you? Who burned you?"

Zhou Lin looked at Elder Tang's dry white hair, which was now scorched. He tried hard to suppress his laughter.

"Five hundred thousand to deal with these flames. They are too annoying."

Elder Tang quickly said.

"Alright."

As soon as Zhou Lin heard there was money, his eyes sparkled, and he agreed without hesitation.

Everyone who was lying on the ground or watching the firefighting felt speechless at Zhou Lin's reaction.

Money really is useful, everything is useful.

In the live broadcast room.

"Damn, Big Shot Zhou Lin is amazing. He never misses a chance to make money. He just got another five hundred thousand."

"Haha, I'm starting to look forward to it. How will Big Shot Zhou Lin handle this? I really want to know how he will resolve these issues."

"But it's hard to extinguish this flame, isn't it?"

"No, no, no, I'm waiting to see the Big Shot's move."

Just as everyone was waiting for Zhou Lin to show off his skills, Zhou Lin suddenly shouted.
