Chapter 71: Tomb

Gao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and opened the astrolabe to check the battle records.

Hunt a will-o'-the-wisp with challenge level 3 and gain 700 experience points.

Gao Fei just killed five, so he should have received 3,500 experience points, but the astrolabe showed that he only received 2,500 experience points.

After thinking for a while, Gao Fei guessed that this was because Wu Xiaoqian had contributed some strength in the battle just now and received some experience points.

Mutants do not have an astrolabe. Wu Xiaoqian can see her basic attributes and health status through meditation, but she cannot see the experience bar.

In order to verify his guess, Gao Fei checked the monster illustration through the astrolabe and refreshed Wu Xiaoqian's real-time data. Sure enough, he found that her experience bar had increased slightly - she had gained 1,000 experience points in the battle just now.

In fact, Gao Fei felt that Tiangong's experience value algorithm underestimated Wu Xiaoqian's supporting role in the battle.

If she hadn't cast the "Group Order" three times in succession to force the will-o'-the-wisps to reveal themselves, she would have inevitably been surrounded by five groups of will-o'-the-wisps, and would have had to shed her skin even if she didn't die.

From this perspective, Wu Xiaoqian is the MVP on the battlefield, and it is only reasonable that she should gain most of the experience points.

At this time, Jiang Feng, Ma Tao and Wang Daqing also eliminated their opponents.

The five people reunited and walked through the pine trees to the entrance of the mausoleum.

Jiang Feng noticed that Wu Xiaoqian was restless and knew that she was thinking about her father, so he said to Gao Fei privately: "Don't you know how to tell fortunes? Before entering the ancient tomb, would you like to make a fortune teller about our trip's fortune?

Mr. Wu’s bad luck.”

"That's a good idea."

Gao Fei readily agreed, took out a dice from his pocket, injected 3 points of magic power, and threw it out.

"Divination" can predict whether something will go well or badly in the next half hour, and whether someone's situation will be bad or good.

Gao Fei divined twice in succession, one at 3 o'clock and the other at 5 o'clock.

"Brother Fei, what's the result of the divination?" Ma Tao came over and asked.

"Our trip to capture Hong Debiao is unpredictable."

"As for Mr. Wu, at least for the next half hour, his life is not in danger."

Gao Fei explained the results of the two fortune-tellings.

Jiang Feng, Ma Tao and Wang Daqing felt somewhat heavy when they learned that the prospects of this arrest operation were gloomy.

Wu Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief and urged everyone to leave quickly to avoid delaying too long and causing unnecessary complications.

Gao Fei asked Hu Zi to explore the way ahead, and Jiang Feng followed up with a stick.

He walked in the middle of the team and was responsible for protecting Wu Xiaoqian.

Ma Tao and Wang Daqing are responsible for breaking up the rear.

After passing through the tomb passage and entering a spacious tomb chamber, the scene in front of them made Gao Fei and the four of them look at each other in astonishment.

They had prepared themselves mentally and thought that they were about to enter a ghastly ancient tomb similar to King Olaf's Tomb in the game. However, the layout of the tomb was completely unexpected.

Although the spacious tomb hall is covered with dust, traces of careful decoration can be seen.

There are colorful wires exposed in the wall holes, water pipes are connected to rusty faucets, and there are dry buckets and mops in the corners.

This is not an ancient tomb, it looks more like an underground shopping mall.

Wu Xiaoqian noticed the confusion in everyone's eyes and explained with a smile.

"The place where we are now is the upper mausoleum of Shiyang Shihu Mountain. It was estimated that it was completed in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It has been repeatedly destroyed in history. Not to mention cultural relics, not even a piece of bone remains."

"Although it is relatively recent, this is still an ancient tomb after all. Why is it so messy? It looks like a basement waiting for demolition."

Ma Tao frowned.

"Hey! It's a long story."

Wu Xiaoqian spread her hands and smiled bitterly.

"Didn't we advocate the 'revitalization of the Northeast' a few years ago! People say that we Northeasterners have rigid thinking and lack of economic acumen. Youdao is like 'foreign monks who can recite sutras', so we go to the south to learn from the advanced areas that have been reformed and open up, and learn from others to revitalize the economy.

ideas.”

"Mulan Township has also caught up with this trend and invited many leaders and bosses from the south to check our pulse and prescribe medicine. The shooting range, hunting ground and ski resort are all projects developed under this leading idea."

"The most amazing thing is a boss from the south. His mind is really liberated and his skills in making money are really flexible. He went to Mulan Township and walked around, and somehow he fell in love with this graveyard and claimed that it is very commercial.

The prospects, we locals will not develop and utilize, we will just beg for food with a golden bowl in hand."

"This southern boss was very courageous and did what he said. He signed a contract with the township government. He went to the township credit cooperative with the contract signed by the leader and borrowed a sum of money to cover the rent and decoration costs of contracting this forest.

The mausoleum is transformed into an antique haunted house, and a business similar to an 'escape room' is launched."

"Tsk tsk! Converting an ancient tomb into a haunted house on the spot, it's a shame he thought of it!" Gao Fei couldn't help complaining, "This boss from the south is really a talent. We in Mulan Township have found a ghost!"

"At that time, everyone was focused on revitalizing the economy. It didn't matter whether the cat was black or white. The one that could make money was a good cat. Who else could care about so much?" Wu Xiaoqian said helplessly, "This marketing plan was even written by the township government at that time.

Incorporate into the special tourism development outline and advertise extensively in newspapers and television.”

"I have to say that the southern boss is really smart and knows how to make money. He hired many beautiful girls to pretend to be female ghosts in the mausoleum, which really attracted a lot of tourists."

"Seeing that this special tourism industry is booming, the township government and southern bosses struck while the iron was hot, established several new companies, and launched several new projects."

"For example, if you open a bar deep in an ancient tomb, the bar counter should be shaped like a coffin, put on a row of skull-shaped glasses, and pour red wine. Wouldn't it create a spooky little atmosphere?"

"Later, this company also opened a dance hall in the ancient tomb. For a little money, customers could rent a set of costumes such as zombies, hanged ghosts, vampires, etc., put on masks with green faces and fangs, and go in to participate in masquerade parties."

"Holy crap! It turns out there really is a graveyard disco!" Classmate Ma Tao couldn't hold back anymore and couldn't help but curse: "Who came up with this idea? It's so damaging!"

"Don't the locals have any objections to such nonsense?" Jiang Feng asked in surprise.

"Who dares to have an opinion? What kind of opinion can you have? You can make money, don't be shabby!" Wang Daqing said with a sullen face, "Who made us poor? Being poor these days is the original sin!"

It's hard to tell whether this is irony, or whether it's a sign of despair for the current situation where my hometown is declining but I can't find a way out.

"Having said that, no matter how we develop the economy, we can't break through the lower limit and transform ancient tombs with historical cultural value into entertainment venues, creating a mess!" Ma Tao couldn't help but get angry.
