In a rented apartment in Nanling.
Zhou Lin smoked a cigarette while looking at his computer.
On the screen was the backend of a website, displaying in large characters:
April Royalties: 2335 Yuan!
Zhou Lin refreshed the page several times, but the amount remained the same!
A little over two thousand yuan could barely buy anything in the increasingly fast-paced Great Xia.
Rent was 1500 yuan, and the remaining money wasn't even enough for instant noodles!
Zhou Lin shook his head in frustration and sighed.
He wasn't originally from this world. After accidentally transmigrating to this parallel world, which was almost identical to his original one, he discovered a great interest in tomb raiding.
Many novels and stories centered around tomb raiding.
Various audio dramas and blockbuster movies were all about the tomb raiding craze.
Zhou Lin was interested in this area, so he entered the profession.
Once he stepped in, he realized how deep the water was!
He had some fame in the novel and web novel circles, but the money he earned was meager, to the point where he could barely support himself!
It was too exploitative!
Zhou Lin resisted the urge to open the website again and decided to find some variety shows.
Suddenly, he noticed a news alert pushed by his computer system!
It was about the tomb of Qin Shi Huang!
As soon as he opened it.
The host was facing the camera, with the excavation site behind them.
"Dear viewers, we are now broadcasting a major piece of news!"
"There has been the latest progress regarding the Great Qin history that you have all been concerned about. We have successfully located the tomb of a Qin Dynasty emperor. This emperor is unknown to us. Opening this tomb may add several hundred years to the history of our Great Xia!"
"However, because this tomb is too unique, the national professional archaeological team requires friends with more specialized knowledge to participate in this excavation. Therefore, we are now recruiting anyone with tomb knowledge to apply!"
"The individual who ultimately succeeds in this archaeological endeavor will receive a reward of fifty million yuan!"
Zhou Lin gasped in shock.
Fifty million yuan???
When did the national archaeological team become so generous, willing to offer fifty million yuan to experts for joint excavation!
Soon, Zhou Lin's attention shifted to the comment section below.
The comment section already had nearly ten thousand people commenting simultaneously.
Zhou Lin glanced at it and gasped again.
"Hundreds of people have already died just by opening the outer layer of this imperial tomb???"
"Three waves of archaeological experts have all perished???"
"More than ten top national archaeological and historical academicians have died or been injured???"
"A true disciple of Maoshan personally stated: This tomb's malevolent energy spans a thousand miles, and anyone who touches it will surely die, or even face the extermination of their nine generations of kin!!!??"
"Top national conglomerates are assisting in this excavation, donating one billion yuan??"
"What the hell!!!"
Zhou Lin was stunned. He had seen tomb raiding before; in his original world, there had been many instances of large, terrifying tombs being developed, such as the Terracotta Army, Sanxingdui, and Mawangdui!
But no tomb had ever been so terrifying as to claim hundreds of lives right at the start!
And this was just the beginning!
Zhou Lin finally understood why they were broadcasting this to the entire network. It was likely that if more people died, even the national experts and academicians would be wiped out!
What kind of tomb is this!!!
It's too terrifying!!
Zhou Lin knew he was short on money, but he wasn't ready to risk his life for it.
Just as Zhou Lin was about to close the video.
Suddenly, a soft "ding" sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully triggering a God-tier Choice.]
[Choice One: Apply to participate in the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum archaeological excavation.]
[Upon success, you will receive the God-tier Archaeological System and a mysterious Grand Gift Package!]
[Choice Two: Live a mediocre life, and receive a system reward of one hundred million yuan, permanently forfeiting the opportunity to bind with the system!]
For the two choices, Zhou Lin only considered for less than a second.
He chose one!
It had been several years since he transmigrated to this world.
Others would transmigrate with a golden finger system!
But he had waited for years without anything.
He had dreamed of having a golden finger to change his destiny!
Now that he finally had an opportunity.
How could he give it up!
If he died, he could just transmigrate back. But if he lost the system, it would be gone forever. He wouldn't be that foolish!
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Son of Destiny Archaeological System!]
[As this is the host's first time acquiring a system, a God-tier Novice Grand Gift Package is awarded!]

[The Mall can be used to redeem anything!]
[Both Lottery and Mall require points for redemption. Points can be obtained by killing tomb creatures or completing certain critical missions!]
Zhou Lin opened the Mall. As the system had said, it contained everything from daily necessities to legendary divine artifacts!
