Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

"Okay, thank you, Captain Yao," Qin Sisi said with a smile.

Under the guidance of the staff, Qin Sisi walked out of Team Nine's office and started familiarizing herself with the workflow of the National Archaeological Team.

At Old Yao's suggestion, she was in charge of the "field exploration" sector.

She was quite familiar with this sector.

Just perfect.

She had learned some Technique of Sensing the Earth from Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan had also introduced her to the tomb characteristics, climate, and soil conditions in the Qilu Region, all of which would come in handy now.

How wonderful!

Qin Sisi couldn't help but think of Lin Chuan.

This friend, whom she had met just over a week ago, had left a deep impression on her.

She was an employee of the archaeological team, passionate about archaeology.

It just so happened that Lin Chuan possessed exceptional skills, which astonished everyone.

Isn't it so? Even Captain Yao, the team leader of the National Archaeological Team, couldn't help but want to recruit him, let alone Qin Sisi?

All morning, Qin Sisi was busy collecting historical data related to the Qilu Region.

At the same time, she also took out her notes.

To cross-reference them.

Busy as she was, it was finally time to leave work.

Phew—

Qin Sisi walked out of the archive room, stretching herself languidly.

The bright sunshine, streaming through the gaps in the green leaves of the Archaeological Research Institute, fell upon her cheeks.

She looked up, squinting slightly, with a smile on her fair and delicate face. Shadows played across her features; her floral print dress fluttered gently, emitting a different kind of youthful charm.

Shouldering her backpack, she left the Archaeological Research Institute and returned to the staff dormitory arranged by Team Nine, curling up on the single apartment's sofa.

"Qianqian, I'm with Team Nine of the Archaeologists," she first sent a message to her old classmate, along with a location.

"Great, how does it feel on your first day working at the National Archaeological Team?" Shen Qianqian quickly replied to the message, asking.

"Still at the Archaeological Research Institute, it's okay. On the 3rd, we're heading out to the Qilu Region for archaeology; the conditions will be tougher there," Qin Sisi replied with a smile.

"You're setting off so soon, be careful not to suffer from the unfamiliar environment," Shen Qianqian reminded.

"That won't happen. Qianqian, I have to tell you something interesting," Qin Sisi said with a smile on her fair cheeks.

"What is it? I'm all ears," Shen Qianqian responded with keen interest.

"Our Team Nine's leader writes novels too. /haha.jpg," Qin Sisi laughed.

"Archaeological novels? /puzzled.jpg"

"Yes, like Lin Chuan, he also writes archaeological novels. It's such a coincidence," Qin Sisi's face was filled with smiles.

"/awkward.jpg"

Shen Qianqian replied with an emoticon.

"What's wrong? Isn't it a coincidence?" Qin Sisi asked, puzzled.

Shen Qianqian quickly replied, "I forgot to tell you, Lin Chuan doesn't write archaeological novels; he writes about tomb robbing."

"What?"

Qin Sisi was suddenly taken aback.

"I knew you'd be surprised, but don't worry, I've kept an eye on him. He doesn't have time to go tomb robbing; you just focus on your archaeology," Shen Qianqian replied with a chuckle.

Qin Sisi couldn't help but smile wryly, thought for a moment, and then responded, "Lin Chuan is now my mentor, the guiding light on my path to archaeology. Don't let him go robbing tombs; otherwise, my faith would be shattered."

Archaeology and tomb robbing are actually two opposing camps.

One is about protective excavation.

The other is about destructive plundering.

The purpose of archaeology, on one hand, is to discover ancient sites and restore history; on the other hand, it aims to protect ancient tombs before tomb raiders can get to them.

Qin Sisi just hoped that the chambers of these ancient people's tombs could be perfectly preserved.

So that the historical relics could also be conserved for appreciation.

At that moment.

Shen Qianqian sent a long message:

"Sisi, let me give you some advice, don't have special expectations for Lin Chuan just yet, and don't incorporate his novels into reality. He'll first make you doubt, then shatter your doubts, leaving you unsure whether his novels are fact or fiction."

Qin Sisi looked at the message but couldn't fully understand the meaning of these sentences.

She might as well see what content Lin Chuan's tomb-robbing novel had first.

"Has Lin Chuan's tomb-robbing novel been released?"

"Yes, it was released this morning, just three hundred thousand words, called 'Touch Gold Notes'."

"I'll have a look."

Qin Sisi was somewhat curious about what Lin Chuan's tomb-robbing novel was like.

Conveniently, a notification from the Sailing Novel app popped up on her phone.

[Sisi, you've been hit by the great book 'Touch Gold Notes'!]

[Witness how a Touch Gold Captain traverses through various ancient tombs, unveiling each piece of dust-laden history.]

Qin Sisi's eyebrows rose slightly, a smile appearing on the corner of her lips.

What a coincidence.

Big data had pushed Lin Chuan's novel to her.

Qin Sisi clicked through the pop-up window.

The interface of the 'Touch Gold Notes' novel immediately appeared before Qin Sisi's eyes.

'My family is a lineage of tomb raiders.'

'However, my father did not inherit my grandfather's skill in tomb robbing, instead, it was my Third Uncle who became the well-known Touch Gold Captain.'

'I also lacked the skill in tomb raiding, inheriting an antique shop instead, thinking that I would have nothing to do with 'tomb robbing' in the future.'

'But then, the appearance of a Silk Manuscript changed my life.'

'Since then, I became a Touch Gold Captain and started my life as a tomb raider.'

'Looking back, I had traversed rugged mountains, crossed desolate snowy peaks, bathed in the sea's cleansing light, and donned the stars and moon of nightfall, a roller coaster of a story right at my feet.'

'It was an ordinary day.'

'The story began with an old man with gold teeth walking into my antique shop.'

'Young man, do you have any rubbings of Warring States Silk Manuscripts?'

'Asked the old man with gold teeth.

'...'

Qin Sisi nestled on the sofa, very satisfied with this opening part, a smile on her lips: "This writing style, just like Lin Chuan, cool!"

She read on.

'...'

'After the gold-toothed old man left, I took the photocopy of the Warring States Silk Manuscript to my Third Uncle.'

'At a glance, Third Uncle said it was a map.'

'I was very curious about what kind of map it was.'

'Third uncle glanced at me and explained it was a Great Tomb in the Qilu Region.'

'...'

Qin Sisi's brows furrowed slightly.

Hmm?

The Qilu Region?

No wonder he was so familiar with the Qilu Region; it turns out that the setting for his novel's story is there, right in Qilu.

This writer Lin Chuan is thoughtful.
