“Haha! My luck is finally here. It was not in vain for me to put so much effort into feng shui in my previous life. I’m finally going to show off in the Myriad World Continent!”
The slightly plump man’s eyes flickered with a sharp light, and he was so excited that he couldn’t control himself.
He looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers and calculated once more.
In the end, he confirmed that this was a top-rank feng shui treasure land. Even if there was no tomb, there must be a great treasure.
“Hiss…”
A great treasure!
Even if there was no treasure, it would be fine if there was a huge tomb!
Myriad World Continent meant the entire continent was made up of countless worlds. There were a lot of worlds that had long-lasting tomb cultures.
If he could really find a large tomb, it would be even greater than obtaining a great treasure.
Thinking of this, fatty trembled slightly in excitement. His palm brushed past his waist. In an instant, a strange shovel appeared in his hand.
This shovel flickered with a strange light. Just by digging at the ground, the mountain rocks and soil weren’t able to obstruct him at all. In an instant, a hole was dug.
This fatty was obviously a skilled person. Not only were his movements clean and neat, but his speed was also really fast.
In addition to the shovel in his hand, which might be a rare treasure, his speed was even faster.
As an experienced tomb raider, there were many things to consider when choosing the location to dig the hole. Not only did he have to conceal himself, but he also had to consider whether the underground soil was stable, the distance from the great tomb, and the possible dangers he might encounter.
In less than half a minute, the fatty’s figure completely disappeared from the ground. From afar, it was impossible to tell that there was actually a burrow that was moving toward the depths of the underground.
According to legend, the top-rank tomb raider would dig out the soil to fill up the hole behind him, so that no one would be able to tell that this place had been dug.
This fatty was clearly such an expert.
This method might seem simple, but it wasn’t the case.
The slightly plump man was obviously such an expert. He was highly experienced, and he moved quickly underground as if he was using the Earthbound Skill.
“In my previous life, I’ve dug out all sorts of large tombs, but I’ve never dug out the tombs of the nobles from the otherworld. I wonder what kind of harvest I’ll get. I’m not a tomb raider now. I am the inheritor and savior of the culture of the otherworld. I’m truly studying the history and culture of the nobles from the otherworld so that they can be brought to light again and regain their glory. After all, the humans from the otherworld are also humans. Their culture also contains the wisdom of humans. If they are buried under the ground, it would be the greatest sacrilegious against history and culture!”
“Is it the gold and silver treasures in the tomb that I have my eyes on? Those were not worth mentioning at all. Experiencing the wisdom and civilization of the humans of the otherworld was the most exciting thing. Unfortunately, no one can understand my greatness. Those who are good at fighting do not have outstanding achievements! Life is as lonely as a cloud!”
Fatty muttered to himself as he dug. His actions were not affected in the slightest.
Of course, other than those high-sounding words he said, it was also necessary to save himself in the process of saving the history and culture of the otherworld. It was just that there was no need to bring it up.
…
“Hurry up! Once you’re full, hurry up and get moving. After we’ve prepared the things, we’ll set off immediately! As long as we pay attention to the route within the borders of the country, we won’t encounter any danger. We just need to watch the goods and hurry on. Can’t everyone do such a simple thing? The people in the city are still waiting for our supplies!”
“Yes, you’re right. Hurry up and leave! We’ve been out for a few days already. My wife at home must miss me.”
“Isn’t there a teleportation array? Why don’t we go through the teleportation array? It’s fast, convenient, and safe!”
“Slap!”
The leader of the team casually slapped the back of a young man’s head. He scolded, “Fast and convenient? It’s convenient and fast, but it’s not convenient for your wallet! Do you want to pay for the teleportation fee? Do you know how many Star Coins were needed each time we send goods? Each of us costs one Star Coin. Thirty people mean 30 Star Coins. Six big carriages cost 100 Star Coins each. This is equivalent to 600 Star Coins Do you want to pay for this?”
Everyone laughed out loud when they heard that.
“Boss, why are you angry with Xiao Wang? This is the first time this kid come out. He doesn’t know anything and how to save money either. Just let it go.”
“Hmph! I can’t be bothered to argue with him. If we were in the wilderness, no matter how much money I spend, I wouldn’t care about a few hundred Star Coins. Even if I don’t make much money in the end, at least it’s safe. Human lives are more important. I’m not that evil. But we’re in the Kingdom of Dawn now! Can’t you see that troops are sweeping the area every day? They return with a full load every time. The monsters nearby are almost all killed. If we don’t think of a way to save money, where are we going to earn money? Is it that easy to earn Star Coins?”
“Yes. We’ll listen to the boss. Let’s go! There aren’t many ferocious beasts during the day, and there are troops constantly sweeping the area. This journey is very safe. The earlier we set off, the sooner we can return home, and the safer the journey is!”
“The transportation fee given by the city lord for this batch of supplies is 1,000 Star Coins. If we can save 600 Star Coins through the teleportation array, each of you will earn at least extra 20 Star Coins. In addition to the goods that you brought with you in private, the return trip will at least give you tens to hundreds of Star Coins. That’s enough for you.”
“Indeed. With our strength now, we can’t deal with too strong monsters. We can just kill the small monsters as many as we meet. Not only can we obtain EXP, but we can also obtain prey. Tsk tsk, our days are something to look forward to.”
It was early in the morning, and the light from the sun was still soft.
The Eternal Blazing Sun did not have the same intensity for the entire day. Instead, the light would be slightly dimmer in the morning and evening, and the heat would be slightly lower. It would be the strongest at noon. This had been set long ago.
At this moment, there was more than one group of people rushing out of the city. There were at least a dozen groups. There were all sorts of shouts everywhere. One after another, large carriages slowly started moving. Each of the people accompanying them carried swords and sabers, and their faces were filled with excitement.
They had already been out for a few days, and they had already obtained the materials they needed to buy. All of them were eager to return home. If they did not want to earn more money, they would not have taken the road back to the city.
These large carts only carried a small portion of the grain. After all, the grain of each city could be transported through the official teleportation array. The price would not be much higher than the City of Dawn. In fact, many cities had large tracts of fertile land. There was no shortage of food at all.
Therefore, the supplies these people bought were more important daily necessities, such as toilet paper, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, quilts, clothes, and so on.
These things were all from the previous transaction between Li Xiang and Hou Chun. They did not know which world the other party had gotten them from, but it was a modern world anyway.
There were even many modern people in the Kingdom of Dawn who had developed the technology to generate electricity by using the magic array, so they could use household appliances.
