Chapter 1311 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter (Extra Chapter 3)
"clatter."
After arranging everything, Shu You stepped onto the luxurious jade steps again and walked straight inside.
Netizens: ? ?
I never imagined that one day I would see President Shu, who is known as the "God of Wealth," personally leading them to dig up the graves of their own ancestors.
As the old saying goes—
[Archaeological team, how much exactly did you give the Shu family?]
"I will obey the last wishes of my ancestors,"
Just as netizens were extremely curious, Shu You spoke up, "Our ancestor once said that she left some things in the tomb, and when our underwater tomb development technology matures in the future, we can open it and take a look."
Netizens:? ? ?
What do you mean? Did I mishear?
[You mean, Shu Jiao predicted more than nine hundred years ago that her tomb would be excavated in later generations?]
[Could the underwater tomb hold the truth behind the disappearance of certain countries?!]
[My God, is this a grave?!]
Before the live broadcast, Shu You stood on the jade steps. There seemed to be no path ahead, only a short pillar made of white jade, with a black square box on the pillar.
"Crack, click, click..."
In an instant, as if sensing something, the ever-burning lamps lit up all at once, like thousands of starlight.
then……
"clang!"
Black panels rose from all four sides, enveloping her, and then suddenly sank.
Open it again, and a brand new world appears before you.
Am I hallucinating?
[An elevator? A high-speed elevator? Or a smart sensor version that still works nine hundred years later???]
[What the hell did I do here?]
[No? Is this correct? Is this scientific?]
[Lighting a cigarette.jpg, weathered.jpg, unofficial historical records say that Shu Jiao made a deal with aliens back then, and it seems to be true...]
Not to mention netizens, even Shu You herself was stunned for a moment—
Nine hundred years ago, my ancestor actually managed to build a water elevator.
So it turns out my ancestors were the pioneers of science and technology!
The first thing that catches the eye is the front hall.
Thirty-six large merchant ships, each carved from golden nanmu wood, white jade, and waterproof silk, were scaled down and laid on a light blue misty silk covered with pearls.
Looking up, the tomb ceiling is covered with luminous pearls that form a dazzling star map.
On the ship, there were mountains of precious spices, gems, jade, fabrics... almost a collection of all the precious specialties from all over the world nine hundred years ago.
Even Shu You, who was used to a good life, was speechless, let alone netizens.
"Mr. Shu, I beg you, please let me go to the cemetery. I'm willing to guard our ancestors' tombs!!"
Now I understand why Shu Jiao's tomb is hailed as a holy site for all tomb raiders... cough, all illegal archaeologists. I admit, it truly is a holy site!
Heavens above, please let me be reborn into the Shu family in my next life, thank you!
If the Shu family ever needs money, they can just take some from their ancestor's tomb and emerge as tycoons again.
[That damn phone, it'll look at anything!]
Just as netizens were drooling over the piles of glittering wealth, Shu You glanced around and walked forward.
We were very careful the whole way.
But nothing happened.
There's not a single trick in it?
Shu You was genuinely puzzled. Ancestor, you couldn't have just put up a bloodline certification at the entrance, could you?
And these underwater guards...
Shu You raised her hand and knocked on the armored guards who looked like stone carvings, who were guarding the bottom of the ship. The guards made a metallic knocking sound. She counted them carefully and found that there were about three hundred of them.
Tsk~
Our ancestors were truly magnanimous.
She walked forward.
Meanwhile, a group of illegal archaeologists watching the live stream frowned and their eyes gleamed.
Wait a minute~
Can't you?
Are there no other mechanisms in Shu Jiao's tomb?
Since there are no other facilities, why don't they use their skills... to go and explore?
As the saying goes, people die for money.
Indeed, some daring individuals who had infiltrated the archaeological team followed Shu You's lead and went inside.
"Mine, mine! They're all mine!"
"Hahaha……"
I’m rich, I’m rich!
A young man who looked to be in his early twenties laughed and picked up the pearls scattered on the ground. "These things are worth at least 30,000 each!"
Here, he couldn't even estimate how many there were.
Just as he bent down to grab the pearls...
"Shh!"
The stone guards, which had been motionless, now had red eyes that gleamed, and their outer stone shells gradually crumbled away, revealing an unknown material that shimmered with a bluish-green light inside.
"what--!"
A scream from not far away made Shu You, who had already walked halfway, turn around.
Has someone followed us in?
What are the archaeological team's protection squad doing? Where are the people she arranged?
Shu You reached down to her lower back and slowly pulled back.
Upon reaching the intersection, she witnessed a scene that left her speechless—
The guards, who were originally inanimate objects, suddenly seemed to come alive, dragging their large swords and chasing after the young man with incredible speed.
Three hundred, chase one.
If I actually got hit by that, I'd be chopped into a pulp!
The young men didn't care about the treasures and hurriedly retreated.
But just as he was about to reach the "elevator," his legs suddenly gave way, and his whole body and face turned a deathly bluish-purple. After a few breaths, he collapsed heavily.
In his hand, a flawless South Sea pearl slowly rolled back into the pile of pearls.
[A tomb raider? How did they get in?]
[Wasn't it safe? Mr. Shu was perfectly fine when he passed by just now.]
[Naive. The entire archaeological team that went in perished. Do you really think this tomb would be easy to enter?]
[He's alive?! He's alive! How did he do that?!]
[Is this poisoning?]
After all, the young man's bluish-purple face, which was even gradually swelling, clearly indicated that something was wrong.
And at the very moment Shu You appeared.
"Click, click."
A group of running guards all looked up at Shu You.
Those pairs of eyes, gleaming with red light, looked particularly terrifying under the soft glow of the luminous pearls.
【Ah!!! Mr. Shu, run!】
[It's over. If President Shu dies here, the entire archaeological team will be set for life.]
Not a single person was curious: how could these guards move?
I suspect these jewels have been poisoned; they're only for looking at, not for touching...
Immediately, netizens began speculating.
The members of the archaeological team who were watching the live broadcast from their hospital rooms also looked quite grim.
so much!
How to fight this?
"Quickly, quickly, send people in to rescue them, but don't touch anything inside!"
"You must ensure President Shu's safety!"
They frantically contacted rescuers.
As for the one who died...
They had said long ago that no one could enter that tomb without Mr. Shu's permission.
That person brought this upon himself; who can he blame?
As for Shu You, she touched the gun with one hand and slowly retreated.
Just because these guards didn't attack her earlier doesn't mean they won't attack her after being activated. Safety first, let's retreat!
"Authentication successful."
A clear, ethereal voice came from somewhere.
