"What secret?"
Hearing Chen Beige's words, Professor Qin could not help but hold his breath, and his heart started to beat faster.
Chen Beige was a little scared when he saw how excited Professor Qin was.
This old man couldn't be here to scam people, right?
If you get agitated by my words, will you count me or the police?
"Professor Qin, why don't you sit down and rest for a while?”Chen Beige looked at Professor Qin helplessly.
Professor Qin did not realize that his excitement had troubled Chen Beige. Instead, he grabbed Chen Beige's shoulder and said,""Mr. Chen, tell me quickly. What's the shocking secret?”
This little old man…
Chen Beige looked at the excited Professor Qin and felt helpless.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Beige said,""I'll make it clear in advance that what I'm saying only represents the setting in my novel. Don't doubt me again when you really dig it out.”
"I believe you. You're definitely not a grave robber.”
Professor Qin looked at Chen Beige with certainty.
Are you kidding me? You believed me and even called to report me?
If it weren't for you, would I have been brought here and interrogated for so long?
Chen Beige rolled his eyes and said in a bitter tone,""Under this ancient tomb, there is a key that leads to a mysterious world. This mysterious world is related to the Classic of Mountains and Seas.”
"Key? What is it?"
Hearing this, Professor Qin became excited again.
Chen Beige shrugged his shoulders and said,""I don't know about that."
Hearing this, Xia Shiyu asked in a questioning tone,""How can you not know about the novel you wrote?”
"I really don't know. I just set up a rough idea and dug a hole. Now, the hole hasn't been filled up yet, and you guys dug up the tomb. Then, I was brought here. How would I know what was hidden below…"
Chen Beige spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
He really wasn't trying to hide this on purpose. When he was writing the 'Lingnan Blood Corpse', he had indeed dug a big hole in this place. However, the hole hadn't been filled up until now.
Those cute little readers urged him to fill in the holes every day.
But was it that easy to fill a hole?
As a decent author, how could he fill in the hole that he had dug so easily?
Didn't you see that in her previous life, when a certain third uncle couldn't fill in the hole, he started a prequel? He even stopped writing a few times along the way…
Unless the hole was about to bury him, it was impossible to fill the hole…
Hearing Chen Beige's answer, Professor Qin looked disappointed.
But soon, he turned to Chen Beige and asked,""Mr. Chen, since the Lingnan Blood Corpse is real, are the other tombs you wrote about also real?”
Chen Beige was stunned by Professor Qin's words.
This old man was really bad!
Wasn't this digging a hole to get information from him?
Were the other tombs real? Regardless of whether the answer was yes or no, it could indirectly prove that he knew which tombs in the book were real and which were fake.
If he knew whether the ancient tomb was real or fake, wouldn't that be equivalent to admitting that he was a grave robber?
Fortunately, Chen Beige knew that he was not a grave robber, or else he would have fallen for the old man's trick.
"How would I know? I just said that I'm a novelist. What I'm talking about is just the setting in my own novel.”
Chen Beige said helplessly.
Hearing Chen Beige's words, Professor Qin quickly reacted.："Mr. Chen, I didn't mean to test you. The reason why I asked this question is because your Grave Robber's Diaries has been spread far and wide. If some grave robbers saw it and followed your novel to find the ancient tomb…then the damage to the cultural relics would be great.”
Hearing Professor Qin's words, Chen Beige frowned.
"The specific address of the ancient tomb written in my book is a little vague, and I don't know if it can be matched.”
Chen Beige suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, he already had the system and time travel. If the ancient tombs in his novel really existed in this world, Chen Beige would not be surprised.
"I wonder if Mr. Chen is willing to join our archaeological team?”
Professor Qin asked Chen Beige with a burning gaze.
After all, the things described in Chen Beige's novel corresponded to the ancient tomb in the Four Star Cave Ruins. Moreover, there was such a big secret hidden in it. If he could join the archeological team, it would definitely be very beneficial to the subsequent archeological work!
Especially since the white jade coffin had not been opened yet. With the mysterious figure Chen Beige around, they might be able to study some ancient mysteries.
However, archeology was a thankless job. It was hard work and low pay. Professor Qin could not guarantee that a best-selling author like Chen Beige would be willing to join the archeological team.
After asking this question, Professor Qin actually felt a little guilty.
Join the archeological team?
Of course, this was what Chen Beige was going to do next. After all, he had already chosen this mission from the system and received the reward.
If he went back on his word halfway, who knew what the system would do.
However, he could not agree directly. After all, if he appeared too enthusiastic, it might arouse the other party's suspicion.
"I'm sorry, Professor Qin. I'm just a novelist. I don't know anything about archaeology, and I'm not interested in archaeology."
Chen Beige shook his head and rejected Professor Qin's invitation.
Hearing Chen Beige's words, Professor Qin could not help but feel disappointed.
" Sigh, since Mr. Chen is unwilling, I won't force you…"
Professor Qin lowered his head unwillingly, but he also felt that it was a little difficult for a high-income best-selling author to join the archeological team.
Hearing Professor Qin's answer, Chen Beige was stunned.
Chen Beige was speechless. (Black man with question marks on his face)
What the f * ck? Is this a sincere invitation?
You're giving up after rejecting me once? Haven't you read the story of Uncle Liu visiting Mao Gu three times?
If you give up, how can I complete the system's mission!
F * ck, it seemed like he had gone overboard! What should he do now?
He couldn't possibly reject the offer and express his willingness to join…
