Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Pharaoh Country, Tomb Raiders
"Damn, Blue Star in crisis? And even Xiao Yao the Great Emperor said it? Then we have to believe it. I’ll get my parents to start cultivation right away."
"Me too, my parents think there’s nothing wrong as long as the country is there for protection, but things are getting more dangerous, so we have to become stronger ourselves."
"My son just turned five, does that mean he can be sent to learn cultivation? It would be even better if he qualifies for cultivation."
"Stop saying so much, I’ve already arranged for my son to drop out. Even though he’s in his third year of high school, there’s no point in studying anymore."
"Indeed, it’s already the era of cultivation, who needs school? Better start cultivating quickly."
"So awesome, a million bottles of Elixir, Xiao Yao the Great Emperor is really generous!"
"I only have three bottles of Elixir, and there’s ten Elixirs in one bottle, so a million bottles can be used by ten million people, that’s so generous."
People didn’t expect that the Great Emperor would take out a million bottles of Elixir to help them.
That’s tens of millions of Elixirs, enough to help tens of millions of people, even if it’s not one per person, it can still train hundreds of thousands of elites.
The scale of this, it’s too vast.
...
Playground.
"The Great Emperor is so generous, I really want to see if the Great Emperor is male or female."
"A million bottles of Elixir, such generosity."
"As expected of the Great Emperor, giving out Elixirs like they’re free."
Chen Lan listened to everyone’s discussions and smiled.
That million bottles of Elixir, to others, might be an astronomical number.
But in his Storage Ring, it’s nothing, even if it was a billion bottles, he could still pull it off.
He’s someone who’s played games for ten years, and after the manifestation, he calculated all the Elixirs he’s obtained over ten years, and that number is the true astronomical one!
Hmm?
Chen Lan turned his head to a certain position, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
He found something interesting again.
Things just always seem to go his way.
"Taozi, you lead them in cultivation first, don’t leave here, I’ll be back soon," Chen Lan instructed Luo Tao.
"Okay." Luo Tao just agreed, and then saw Chen Lan was gone.
He didn’t mind, continuing to let everyone cultivate.
...
Pharaoh Country.
Pyramid.
Inside the grand and magnificent Pyramid, there were three sneaky, fully armed people, wearing gloves and masks, tiptoeing forward.
"Brother, we crossed the whole way to this Pharaoh Country to rob the Pharaoh’s tomb, aren’t we going to be discovered by the people here?" one person spoke up.
He was actually speaking in Huaxia language!
Turns out, the three of them came from Huaxia, and they were tomb raiders here to steal from the Pharaoh’s tomb.
With games now materializing, the world has seen many remarkable changes, and the three of them believed this Pharaoh’s tomb must have something extraordinary.
If they could rob it, they wouldn’t fear Demon Beasts or whatever they encountered.
"No, there’s no one coming inside here," said the leader, who was built slightly more burly than the others.
This Pyramid is a famous attraction in Pharaoh Country, attracting many visitors daily.
It’s also the Holy Land of Pharaoh Country, where people from Pharaoh Country would gather to worship at the beginning of each month.
Even the country’s name bears the title Pharaoh.
Normally, you can’t enter the Pyramid freely; only during special times each year do people come in for inspections to see if anything inside is missing.
And they just finished an inspection a month ago, which means there’s a year before the next one, so no need to worry.
"Our boss has made proper investigations, we just need to calmly take away the items inside," another man grinned.
"Exactly, let’s just find any good stuff quick, this is the Pyramid, the Pharaoh’s tomb, there’s bound to be lots of gold and silver treasures."
The Pharaoh, after all, that’s a king.
A King’s burial must have some gold and silver treasures, right? Surely not leaving with nothing, right?
Now, before them was a vast, empty, dark corridor, with no lights, no sunlight, not a single ray of light.
They relied solely on the flashlights in their hands, illuminating parts of the area.
The three walked side by side, cautiously moving forward, the only sounds being their own breathing.
When they finally walked the length of the corridor, they found a stone door at the end, with two slots in the middle, one shaped like a horse, the other like a human.
Perhaps something needs to be inserted to open the door.
"Luckily I came prepared," the boss grinned, pulling two stones from his crossbody bag.
One was a horse, the other a human. After placing them in their respective slots, there was a series of clicking and rumbling noises.
The ground began to tremble, and changes appeared on the stone door’s surface as the slots rotated.
The three stepped back, watching the stone door in fright.
Until the whole door let out a booming sound.
It finally stopped and peace resumed.
The boss tiptoed forward, wanting to push open the stone door, but found he couldn’t, his strength wasn’t enough.
"Why are you standing there? Open the door."
The two lackeys beside him nodded immediately, helping to push the door.
With their combined effort, the stone door slowly opened, the sound of stone rubbing against the ground echoed.
The stone door was completely opened!
The three looked inside, and were instantly stunned by the scene!
Inside, there were over a hundred coffins!
These coffins were wrapped tightly in white cloth, some laid on the ground, some leaned against the walls.
The most eye-catching was the one in the middle, a Golden Coffin!
The three were immediately drawn to that coffin, rushing over to scrutinize it.
"Holy crap, solid gold, we’re going to get rich!" one of the lackeys instinctively bit the coffin, finding it very hard, and immediately cried out.
This was real gold, the coffin was two meters long and one meter wide. If the entire coffin were crafted from gold, they would certainly strike it rich.
Just this gold alone made the trip worthwhile!
"But with such a big coffin, how are we supposed to take it?" one lackey scratched his head in confusion.
Slap!
His question was answered with a smack from the boss.
"Are you stupid? I asked you to bring containers and tools so you could chisel the gold, how do you plan to take such a big coffin?"
The boss was speechless, wondering why his two lackeys were so clueless.
No, once this is over, he needs to find two new lackeys.
"Oh, understood." The lackey realized and quickly took out tools and containers, starting to chisel the gold.
The two lackeys focused on chiseling gold, while the boss wandered around looking.
Checking for any other peculiar spots or gold and silver treasures around.
Meanwhile, as the two lackeys turned a blind eye to everything else and focused on chiseling gold, something eerie happened to the coffins around them.
The white cloth wrapped around the coffins began turning to ash, floating into the air.
They remained unaware of these happenings.
Their eyes focused only on the gold!
But soon, they noticed the temperature around them had dropped a lot.
"Who turned on the air conditioning? Why is it so cold?"
