Seeing Hu Bayi's hesitation, Fatty's eyes lit up.
"Old Hu, I think that Treasure Trove Pavilion's little shopkeeper probably wants us to go fight in reverse and then sell the things in the tomb to Treasure Trove Pavilion. Otherwise, why would he treat us to a restaurant for mutton hotpot?”
"There were so many treasures in the ancient times. Could it be that they all belonged to them? Wasn't it plucked from the pockets of the common people? This is called robbing the rich to help the poor, taking from the people and using them for the people!”
At this moment, Chen Cang smiled and said,"Master Fatty, Master Hu, you don't have to worry. I don't want you to help me fight back."”
Fatty was stunned." Then why are you looking for us?”
Chen Cang smiled." Let me reintroduce myself. I'm a university student specializing in archaeology.”
"Archeology?" Fatty was stunned." Isn't it still a reverse fight?”
"Fatty!" Hu Bayi facepalmed and scolded,""I told you to read more books so that you wouldn't embarrass yourself.”
Then, he turned to look at Chen Cang with a solemn and vigilant expression.
Archeologists and tomb raiders had always been mortal enemies. Everyone looked down on each other.
"Hehe, Master Hu, don't be nervous. I have something to ask of you this time.”
Chen Cang put down his chopsticks and told them about the archaeological team.
"Jingjue Ancient City? Desert archeology team? Heavenly Star Feng Shui Technique?"
Hu Bayi was stunned.
He did not expect that Chen Cang would actually let him, a grave robber, be a guide.
However, Hu Bayi had never heard of the Ancient City of Jingjue. He didn't know what to do and hesitated.
Fatty didn't think too much about it. His eyes lit up when he heard that." Shopkeeper Chen, do you have money?”
Chen Cang smiled." No less than ten thousand dollars per person!”
"Dollar…Dollar?"
Fatty's eyes widened, and his heart thumped wildly.
Ten thousand dollars per person?
He and Old Hu had gone to the Guandong Fortress and almost lost their lives, but it was not even a fraction of ten thousand dollars!
"Old Hu!" Fatty poked Hu Bayi with all his might.
"Fatty, do you really think it's easy to get ten thousand dollars?" Hu Bayi glared and whispered.”
"Old Hu, think about it. Even without this archeological team, don't we still have to go tomb raiding?”
"The archeological team, that's legal!”
"In a big way, we're contributing to the country and unraveling the mystery of history. Besides, aren't there these archaeologists?”
"They're just a bunch of nerds, yet they dare to enter the desert for archeology. Are we two strong men, the outstanding youths of the new era, not as good as nerds?”
"Besides, they're not fools. They'll definitely be prepared before they set off. If it's a place where they'll definitely die, who wants to die?”
"Ten thousand dollars. How long will the families of your comrades live on for?”
It had to be said that Fatty's words moved Hu Bayi.
However, Old Hu was more steady and thought more." Fatty, listen to me later. Even if we want to go, we have to find out the situation first.”
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Hearing Hu Bayi agree, Fatty immediately beamed with joy.
He was counting on his fingers, probably thinking about how to spend the ten thousand dollars.
Chen Cang instructed," Master Hu, Master Fatty, I don't have the final say in this archeological team. If you really want to join, you'll have to let my teacher and the others take the assessment."”
"What?" Fatty was dumbfounded." There's still a test?”
Chen Cang nodded." Yes, this time, the investor is an American Chinese woman. Her father is a Wall Street tycoon and usually likes to explore archaeological activities. Her father is especially interested in the culture of Jingjue Ancient City and formed a team to explore it. In the end, he hasn't returned yet.
The reason why she sponsored the archeological team this time is to find her father. That's why she offered such a high salary. However, I believe that with Master Hu's ability, he should be able to pass the assessment smoothly.”
Hu Bayi thought for a while." Alright, Fatty and I will go talk to your teacher and the others later."”
The three of them happily ate the mutton hotpot.
Chen Cang had also offered them 8,000 for the two moth jade pendants.
This was the 70s and 80s. Seven to eight thousand yuan was already a very high price.
Even if Chen Cang sold it, he might not be able to sell that much.
Fatty also redeemed his family heirloom, the Ghost Cave Jade Pendant.
-
After the three of them finished eating, they went to Professor Chen's office.
In the courtyard, there were two young men and a young girl who were tidying up their things.
Chen Cang knew all of them. They were Professor Hao Aiguo's students.
They were Chu Jian, Sa Dipeng, and Ye Yixin.
Chu Jian was tall and thin.
Sa Dipeng wore a pair of glasses. Chen Cang heard that he liked to study aliens.
Ye Yixin, on the other hand, was wearing a pink dress with two braids. Her face was fair and she was a beauty.
Seeing Chen Cang and the others enter, Ye Yixin's heart lit up." Senior Brother Chen, you're here. We're packing our equipment!"”
Chen Cang also smiled and greeted," Junior Sister, where are Teacher and the others?”
"Teacher and Professor Chen are discussing the route with Miss Yang.”
Hao Aiguo was Professor Chen's student, and so was Chen Cang.
Logically speaking, Ye Yixin and the others were Hao Aiguo's students, so Chen Cang should be one generation older.
However, it was no longer the same as in ancient times. They still addressed each other as senior brothers and junior sisters.
"Alright, then you guys continue with your work. I'll bring two guests to meet the teacher.”
Walking into the office, Professor Chen was chatting with a girl in a red jacket. Chen Cang guessed that this should be Shirley Yang.
Her looks were not bad and she looked very heroic. Her figure also matched Chen Cang's aesthetic standards. She was definitely a great beauty.
However, Chen Cang did not have any thoughts about it. After all, although she was beautiful, she had always lived in the Lighthouse Nation and was influenced by various open ideas. Who knew what her private life was like?
Chen Cang still liked girls who were more traditional.
Hao Aiguo was reading some documents at his desk.
He looked like he was in his forties, his hair was messy like a chicken nest, and it was obvious that he lacked experience in dealing with people. His deep glasses showed people that he was a rigorous, pragmatic, and hard-working intellectual.
Chen Cang explained his intentions to him.
Hao Aiguo stood up and sized up Hu Bayi and Fatty.
"My two comrades, I already know why you are here. I believe you also know the requirements of our archaeological team. What we need are talents. Do the two of you have experience in desert survival and exploration, or do you know Feng Shui?”
