The fatty stood there like a good boy, his hands not knowing where to put them.
What was with that look, like he was observing an animal.
"Cough, cough, uh, Boss, Second Brother, Old Hu, why are you all here? Huh, nice weather today. Don't look at me like that, it's… a bit embarrassing."
The fatty chuckled dryly, looking at the door he had kicked open.
He was practically like the Monkey King emerging from his mountain.
The momentum was earth-shattering.
"Tch, as expected of Chou Chou. Your foot stinks! Why'd you kick the door like that?"
"Showing off."
The little fox stood to the side, hands on her hips, tail wagging, and pouting.
The fatty rolled his eyes at the little fox and used her words as an excuse.
"Tch, you have the nerve to talk about me? You don't even cultivate properly, always playing around. See? Fatty evolved, no, broke through!"
The fatty said smugly, while the little fox crossed her arms.
"What's there to show off about? Tuantuan can break through too."
The little fox looked displeased, as if the fatty had gotten the upper hand.
At this moment, Zhang Tian also chimed in.
"Fatty, you broke through? What realm?"
Facing Zhang Tian's question, the fatty stopped bothering with the little fox and replied with a smile.
"Boss, I'm still at the same realm, not a Grandmaster yet. But, my cultivation technique and physique have undergone a qualitative leap."
"My body tempering has reached the third level, Boss. I can now say I'm impervious to blades and spears, and indestructible."
The fatty grinned, showing off his thumbs and pearly white teeth.
Indestructible…
Zhang Tian thought of something and then shook his head. It had to be the fatty.
"We can talk about that later. How's your artifact refining?"
Zhang Tian asked softly.
Compared to the fatty's successful breakthrough, Zhang Tian was more concerned about his artifact refining skills.
After all, artifact refining and body tempering were not the same.
If body tempering was torment for the flesh, then artifact refining was torment for the spirit.
Zhang Tian wondered if the fatty could handle it, as he didn't want to waste too much time.
"Boss, Fatty understands now. I'll be able to refine soon. Boss, just wait for Fatty's good news."
The fatty said with utmost seriousness, a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Alright, then, Fatty, go and refine now. Stop showing off, there's nothing to show off about."
"Old Hu, Qilin, let's start planning the situation in the Fuji Country tombs now."
"After Fatty finishes refining, we'll head straight there. To bomb the tombs, no, to excavate the tombs."
Zhang Tian said softly. After he spoke, Hu Bayi and Zhang Qilin had no objections.
"Holy cow, Boss, you're waiting for Fatty to finish refining before excavating? Fatty's status is that high now? Fatty is very pleased."
"Boss, Fatty thinks I can even be a cadre in the future."
The fatty said happily, a look of excitement on his face.
Fatty never knew his social standing was this high until today.
Zhang Tian slapped his forehead, said nothing more, and looked towards his own room.
"Fatty, go and refine. Less talk."
Zhang Tian said, and the fatty quickly nodded, then headed towards his dilapidated room.
Seeing the fatty disappear, the others exchanged smiles. It was indeed the fatty; even with his cultivation improved, his personality remained the same.
"Boss, should we call Young Master Wu and the others over?"
Hu Bayi asked.
After all, Zhang Tian had always been thinking about Wu Tianzhen, so Hu Bayi casually inquired.
Zhang Tian considered.
"How about this, it's fine to call them over, and we can all go together. However, for tomb raiding, too many people isn't good."
Zhang Tian said. He calculated that with their group of four and two from Wu Tianzhen's side, that made six people.
That would indeed be too many.
"Boss, Shirley Yang isn't going. We few can manage it in a few months."
Hu Bayi said. Zhang Tian nodded and didn't dwell on the issue.
"Alright, then let's call Wu Tianzhen first."
Zhang Tian nodded, and Hu Bayi immediately went out.
Soon, in Zhang Tian's courtyard, Wu Tianzhen, Wang Banyue, and a group of others were seated in Zhang Tian's room.
"Grandma, this room, this house, this decoration, and these artworks, they are all priceless."
"Young Master Zhang, your house is simply my dream!"
Wang Banyue's face was filled with a trace of admiration and envy.
He envied Zhang Tian's knowledge and talent, and also his family background.
At this moment, Wang Banyue gritted his teeth, wishing he could kick Zhang Tian away and become Zhang Tian himself.
Zhang Tian smiled calmly.
"Since everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point."
"This time, we will go to Fuji Country to retrieve all the items that our Xia Country has lost."
"At the same time, we will also go to other countries and retrieve all the things they have plundered. This era belongs to the strong, where might makes right. Do you have any objections?"
Zhang Tian's voice was not loud. After he finished speaking, everyone shook their heads.
Especially Wu Tianzhen, he was too excited to have any objections.
Wu Tianzhen's persona was that of an adventurer who loved Xia Country.
He had long been concerned about the lost cultural relics.
"Young Master Zhang, we have no objections. Please tell us how we should proceed."
Wu Tianzhen was somewhat impatient.
He had been waiting for Zhang Tian for several months, and now there was finally news. How could he not be excited?
"Here's the plan: I will first try to deduce the burial location of the Emperor's tomb."
"At the same time, we can also find Xu Fu's tomb."
Zhang Tian's voice was low, but when he mentioned Xu Fu, everyone's expression changed.
Only Zhang Qilin remained calm.
"According to historical records, Xu Fu sought the elixir of immortality and eventually settled on the Wao Islands. At that time, Xu Fu also took an unknown amount of gold and artifacts."
"If Young Master Zhang, you can really excavate that tomb, then perhaps we can indeed find the lost artifacts."
Wu Tianzhen clenched his fist.
As everyone knows, Xu Fu was sent by the First Emperor of Qin to find the elixir of immortality, and then he established himself as a ruler on the islands.
What is less known is that Xu Fu took countless gold, silver, treasures, and artifacts with him when he left.
Xu Fu himself was fond of such artifacts, and it was the prosperous Qin Dynasty at the time, so artifacts were naturally highly valued.
"It is true that during the prosperous Qin Dynasty, artifacts were continuously unearthed, so his tomb must contain good things. However, what we need to do now is to find the ancient tomb first."
Zhang Tian nodded and then took out a map of Fuji Country.
This was given to him by Shirley Yang, as current technology did not allow Xia Country to photograph the entire country's landscape.
Upon seeing the map of Fuji Country, Wu Tianzhen gasped.
He was somewhat surprised, as he hadn't expected Zhang Tian to have this as well.
It was clear that this fellow had been planning this for a long time.
At this moment, after Zhang Tian finished speaking, the audience was stunned.
And the netizens of Fuji Country watching the live broadcast were completely flabbergasted.
Their great god Xu Fu had already been robbed?!
