"Are you trying to take it from me?
"What do you want? I risked my life to get this, and it absolutely cannot be confiscated."
Zhou Lin instinctively protected it, his eyes full of vigilance. Anyone who tried to snatch his money was an enemy he would never forgive.
"No, no, no, you misunderstand. We've already decided. We'll give you two hundred million to buy out your inner core, but we hope you can manage this inner core for us. No one is allowed to touch it."
Elder Tang was also greatly surprised when he received the院长's notification. He hadn't expected such a decision from above.
However, he thought about how eye-catching this inner core was, and Zhou Lin's abilities were even more evident. If they could entrust this inner core to him, it would indeed be the best decision.
"Two hundred million?"
The archaeological team and participants behind them were all stunned when they heard the amount.
Damn it, it's already four hundred million now. Is this kid here to make money or to do archaeology? They had nothing, only fifty million.
It was still a question of whether they could live to spend it.
Look at him.
"Two hundred million... a bit too little. How about three hundred million? Take it or leave it."
When Zhou Lin heard two hundred million, his heart skipped a beat. Finally, he raised another finger from Elder Tang's hand.
He knew very well that they were worried he would sell the inner core to others, possibly even foreigners. This management fee arrangement was indeed a good method.
"Alright, deal."
Elder Tang gritted his teeth and agreed, but he also felt relieved.
Zhou Lin felt inwardly that he had lost out.
They agreed so readily, this was a huge loss.
The archaeological team and participants behind them were all envious.
Just like that...
Three hundred million, plus the previous amount, five hundred million would be in hand?
The Wolf King was envious.
The Daoist priest was jealous.
The Olympic champion was envious.
The gymnastics champion was completely stunned.
The biologist was devastated.
The historian was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
They were all human, so how did Zhou Lin get such incredible luck?
The speed at which this money was accumulating was almost as fast as their blood pressure.
Were they even going to let them live?
When netizens saw this scene, they were also envious.
"Oh my god, three hundred million just like that? And that's not even counting the rest, it's already in hand?"
"I'm so envious. If I had known that Great God Zhou Lin had such abilities, I would have signed up. It would have been good to tag along. Even if I didn't get hundreds of millions, I would have had fifty million."
"Who isn't thinking the same way? I thought the same thing."
"But in this situation, I don't think I'll ever be able to predict it easily, even if I die. After all, this is also a matter of luck, but Great God is too lucky."
"I'm envious, truly envious."
...
At this moment, a tomb-robbing organization was secretly observing all of this.
"Find out who this novelist is. This kid's identity is not simple. See if he's someone's disciple."
An old man's gaze was dark as he watched the scene.
"Understood."
A young person beside him responded and left the room.
Inside the tomb.
After the snake den collapsed, the mercury slowly receded. When they saw the huge snake den, everyone's hearts pounded.
The Daoist priest and the others felt that Zhou Lin definitely deserved the three hundred million.
They walked past the mercury pool and looked at a cave opposite them. It was dark inside, like a mouth that devoured people.
At first glance, it was eerie and sinister.
Zhou Lin and Elder Tang still walked at the front. They looked at the surrounding stone walls, and on the walls, there were stone holes. Inside, there were skulls, and next to the skulls were some books.
Books from the Qin Dynasty were recorded on bamboo slips.
Thick bamboo slips were placed by the stone walls, looking both terrifying and elegant.
As Zhou Lin walked inside, the previously dim passage was suddenly illuminated by something.
The surroundings instantly became bright.
When they saw these things, Elder Tang and the others were dumbfounded.
They had seen Qin Dynasty documents and materials before, but historical records were extremely scarce.
The records on the bamboo slips were almost non-existent.
But they had never seen such thick bamboo slips before.
Previously, they had only seen a few.
Elder Tang looked at these bamboo slips excitedly, and Professor Lin and the historians behind him trembled as they reached out to touch them.
Then, they opened a bamboo slip, which was filled with text, including Confucian discourses and some books.
"This is a Confucian discourse. Strange, Confucianism appeared in the Qin Dynasty? Why have we never heard of it before?"
"The Qin Dynasty history we've seen before doesn't mention it at all, and the characters they used to record those things were small seal script."
Elder Tang was slightly shocked by this.
When Zhou Lin heard this, Confucian discourse, wasn't that the burning of books and burying of scholars? No, weren't all the scholars killed and books burned then?
How could this be?
Zhou Lin instinctively picked up a bamboo slip and opened it. There was nothing on it.
He became even more curious.
"Professor, can you see what's written on this?"
Zhou Lin walked to Professor Lin with a smile, pretending to examine it.
"Mr. Zhou Lin, put it down quickly. These are precious bamboo slips. You can't just hold them like this; you might damage them."
Professor Lin took it carefully as if he had found a treasure and then looked at the text.
"The characters on this are not small seal script, and we are not very familiar with them. We will study them carefully after taking them back."
Professor Lin looked at the bamboo slip in front of him, carefully touching the characters.
Zhou Lin looked at the scene before him and knew that these people were being deceived.
When the netizens saw these bamboo slips, they were also amazed.
"Wow, so many bamboo slips! This is the first time I've seen such bamboo slips. I've only seen them in museums before and didn't dare to touch them."
"These are Qin Dynasty artifacts. They must contain a lot of information about that period."
"That's true, but seeing how excited the professors are, I think there will be important discoveries. But why does Great God look so strange?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with Great God? Why isn't he excited seeing these things? If one of these were taken out, it would be money."
"Upstairs, are you stupid? Who would buy this if it were taken out? Wouldn't that be telling everyone it's a national treasure from tomb raiding?"
"Exactly, exactly. I think Great God's strangeness might mean there's danger."
"What danger? If there is any, it's this skull."
