In the Dean's conference room.
"Damn, no wonder the metaphysics professor emphasized that we had to go with him earlier. If he saw this with his own eyes, he'd be happy."
Professor Hu looked at the scene before him, his eyes filled with shock.
Witnessing this event firsthand was undoubtedly the greatest joy, at least that's what he thought.
"It's not just him who's happy, I'm damn happy too."
Professor Wen felt completely relieved, his tone filled with joy.
The others also began to discuss, and the atmosphere significantly lightened, a hundred times better than before.
At this moment, on the websites of Great Xia.
Hu Hu Sheng Wei App: Amazing!!! The novelist has such a magical wine bottle, and these monkeys are actually interested in the wine??
Han Dou Video: Shocking!! The monkeys in the tomb like to drink wine? And they got drunk??
Bai Ke Bai Jia: The novelist took out a magical exotic item and easily knocked out these monkeys, truly astonishing.
Xiao Ming You Shuo: What kind of wine is this that can make these monkeys swoon and leave the mercenaries unharmed.
Overseas.
Eagle Country:
"I've been to Great Xia before, and their wine was just so-so. This is the first time I've seen wine like this, capable of making monkeys faint from its aroma? Is this fake?"
"I don't believe it either, this must be fake. Our estate doesn't have such incredible wine, so the one from Great Xia must be fake?"
"Exactly, I've drunk a lot of good wine, but I've never seen anything like this. I'm starting to doubt its authenticity."
Sakura Country:
"Hmph, when it comes to wine aroma, the wine aroma of our Sakura Country is the best. Where does Great Xia fit in? Perhaps this is our Sakura Country's recipe."
"You're right, the aroma of our Sakura Country's sake is the best, and our baijiu is definitely pure brewed."
"So, are the Great Xia people using our recipe? How shameless!!"
Great Han Ming Country:
"We don't quite agree with Sakura Country. Great Xia stole the recipe, we agree with that point, but it's not from your Sakura Country, it's from our Great Han Ming Country. Don't talk nonsense."
"Our Great Han Ming Country's rice wine is also very pure, with a fragrant aroma. Forget your sake."
"Exactly, Great Han Ming Country was the most powerful country a thousand years ago. Most of your so-called heritage is also from our Great Han Ming Country."
Great Xia:
"Oh, you guys are really shameless. Who doesn't know that your wine is mixed with rat poison? And you call it mellow and fragrant? Even your country's rats dislike it."
"What is yours? If your country had such wine, wouldn't your tails be in the sky? Would you be quietly lying there like you're dead? Who would believe such talk?"
"Exactly, you really think highly of yourselves? It's hilarious."
...
Meanwhile—
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin calmly placed the wine jar on the ground, quietly watching the monkeys sleeping soundly on the ground, looking so peaceful. What were they dreaming about?
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the others didn't question Zhou Lin this time. They watched as Zhou Lin put down the wine jar.
"Elder Tang, I've drunk wine my whole life, but I've never smelled wine like this."
Professor Lin's eyes were filled with shock. He even reached out to touch the wine jar, but before he could taste it, Zhou Lin stopped him.
"You can't drink it, this isn't for you to drink."
Zhou Lin quickly picked up the wine jar, acting possessive.
"Why? Why can't I drink this wine?"
Professor Lin was stunned, as were the mercenaries and the archaeological team members present.
"The wine inside is rosemary wine. Its aroma is sweet and mellow, but it has an effect on certain creatures. If you smell this wine for too long, you'll fall asleep, and it will be a long sleep, and you'll never wake up in your dreams."
"These monkeys are in such a state right now. You can't drink it, people will die. This was given to me by my master, and it's said to be passed down from my ancestors."
Zhou Lin continued his elaborate fabrication.
Professor Lin, Elder Tang, and the metaphysics professor felt a sense of dread upon learning this. However, the metaphysics professor was brimming with questions.
"Can you give me some of this wine? I want to study it. I've never heard of such wine before."
The metaphysics professor looked at him with anticipation.
"Of course not."
Zhou Lin refused without hesitation.
"Name your price. I only want a drop, not much."
The metaphysics professor seized Zhou Lin's weakness and quickly said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lin's eyes lit up, and he quickly held up one finger.
"Ten thousand?"
The metaphysics professor found this price acceptable.
"No, it's one hundred thousand. Are you willing?"
Zhou Lin quickly shook his head and denied it, stating his desired amount.
"Alright."
The metaphysics professor found this acceptable.
"Then it's settled. I'll give it to you when we get out?"
Zhou Lin said, thus completing the transaction.
"Professor Zhou, didn't you say this couldn't be given away casually? That it's something very powerful."
Captain Lin and the other mercenaries were shocked when they heard Zhou Lin describe its effects earlier.
But within two minutes, Zhou Lin had sold it...
This...
What happened to it being very powerful? Isn't this a very impressive wine jar?
"How could that be? This is a contribution to the country. If this item can be utilized, it might be useful for future tomb expeditions. I'm doing this for the country."
Zhou Lin found a reasonable and grand justification for himself.
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the others all twitched their mouths as they looked at Zhou Lin.
This was truly a clear stream in the world of greed.
The entire forest fell silent.
The mercenaries and archaeological team members were speechless for a moment.
In the live stream.
"Damn, the boss is really amazing. The money he's making... ten thousand for a drop, isn't that a bit too much? It should be at least two hundred thousand."
"No, the boss's wine is so powerful that it can make you fall asleep just by smelling it? Why are the professors and mercenaries unaffected?"
"Didn't he say it's targeted at certain creatures? It shouldn't affect humans, so they should be fine."
"Damn, if you put it that way, I have nothing to say."
"Can I also buy a drop?"
"Probably not. Because the boss said he's only contributing to the country. What would he get from giving it to you?"
"Haha..."
In the Dean's conference room.
The Dean's mouth twitched. Looking at Zhou Lin, he felt utterly speechless.
This guy is truly greedy, and the metaphysics professor is truly obsessed.
