114: Money's all it takes? The CPU's burned out!

One million!?

Hearing such a large sum of money, Su Yun felt his head swell.

He complained, "System, are you trying to fleece me?"

"Everything I own, put together, probably wouldn't even reach one million!"

Seriously, no exaggeration.

His balance was already low, and even if he sold his kidneys, it might not be enough for a million.

The System responded: [The extra money is the price for locating the entrance and exit of this tomb!]

[Rest assured, this System operates with integrity, never cheating or deceiving the Host!]

[Note: The design of this tomb is unprecedentedly ingenious! It contains the Dragon-Slaying Stone, mercury, corpse beetles...]

Su Yun: ???

Sure enough, he instantly understood the famous saying: Wang Po selling melons, praising her own wares!

Looking at the tomb mechanisms and dangers the System listed to persuade him... Damn it... it seemed he had no choice but to pay this money.

Su Yun sighed internally: "Fine, give me some time to figure out a way."

He withdrew from his Sea of Consciousness.

Su Yun approached his good Big Brother Zheng Jianfeng, who was looking troubled among the crowd.

He said: "Big Brother Zheng, well..."

He stopped halfway; asking for money was truly difficult to say.

Zheng Jianfeng saw Su Yun's embarrassment and patted his chest: "Brother Su Yun, don't be shy!"

"If you have a method, just say it. We'll all work together to solve it!"

Unity is strength, and many hands make light work.

And then... as soon as he said that, everyone around them immediately focused their attention on Su Yun.

The soldiers of the Steel Regiment Military District were fine; after all, they had witnessed Su Yun's capabilities.

As for the Archaeological Experts and Old Hu's Gang, they frowned, looking at this young man with extreme suspicion.

They were two groups of people.

One group represented the pinnacle of Huaxia's archaeology, possessing ultimate authority!

The other group consisted of experts hidden away in the deep mountains and old forests, each possessing exceptional skills!

A problem that even they couldn't solve, something they were completely helpless against... How could Su Yun possibly have a good idea!?

Fatty Wang Fan tugged at Su Yun's sleeve: "Brother, let's not pretend we're something we're not. If we can't do it, just say we can't."

"A man stands between heaven and earth; he can yield and he can stretch. Saying we can't do it isn't shameful..."

The two of them were peas in a pod, inseparable. Fatty Wang Fan couldn't just watch Brother Su get into trouble.

Su Yun grinned, looking directly at everyone around him: "Actually..."

"As long as someone can give me 1.01 million, I can accurately and unerringly locate the entrance and exit of the tomb!"

Everyone: ???

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present froze, feeling like their brains had stopped working.

— — [Pfft hahaha... Brother Su! Stop fooling around...]

— — [Seriously, what does finding a tomb have to do with money!?]

— — [Brother Su could clearly just steal the money openly, but he insists on finding an excuse!]

— — [Great excuse! Next time a robber holds up a bank: I'm taking some money! It'll be back tomorrow!]

— — [Brother Su... don't be so ridiculous...]

The millions of fans in the livestream room couldn't stop laughing, believing Su Yun must have gone mad thinking about money.

"Awooo awooo..."

Chang Wei, nestled in Su Yun's pants pocket, roared, saying: "What are you waiting for? Give him the money!"

Before everyone erupted in anger and went ballistic.

Zheng Jianfeng, acting as the good Big Brother, quickly pulled Su Yun aside: "Brother Su Yun, are you crazy?"

"This is not the time to mess around!"

Su Yun blinked: "Big Brother Zheng, I really am not messing around..."

1 million was for the System; he was taking 10,000 yuan as a service fee.

That's not much, right?

Zheng Jianfeng still didn't believe him, saying: "Brother Su Yun, you... fine!"

"I won't ask if tomb raiding has anything to do with money; maybe you have your own methods."

"But... I have one question. Why the odd amount!?"

It could be 1 million! It could be 2 million! Even 2.5 million!

But why, specifically, did it have to be 1.01 million!?

Regarding this question.

Su Yun smiled wryly and said: "Big Brother Zheng, actually... it could also be 1.02 million!"

"I wouldn't mind..."

"But the prerequisite is... give me the money, and the tomb entrance and exit will be found!"

Silence!

Zheng Jianfeng stared intently into Su Yun's eyes.

Determination, confidence, ease... that was all he could see in the latter.

For a moment.

Zheng Jianfeng fell into a dilemma: Could Brother Su Yun actually understand tombs?

Faintly, his resolve began to waver, and he started to hesitate.

Finally... under the incredulous gaze of everyone present, Zheng Jianfeng shouted: "Fine! 1.01 million! I'll give it to you!"

Everyone: ???

They completely failed to understand this divine maneuver!

Truly, one person dared to ask, and the other dared to give!?

The Archaeological Experts' CPUs were about to burn out: Do young people these days play games like this?

[Ding! Bank card ending in 123 has received 1,010,000 yuan in real-time! Current balance...]

Zheng Jianfeng reported to the regiment leader, and after receiving approval, the funds were immediately transferred.

"Big Brother Zheng, just watch!"

"Next... I need a completely secluded, absolutely private tent!"

"Also... Big Brother Zheng, I need a plate of milk-flavored sunflower seeds and a plate of dry-fried peanuts!"

"And preferably, a deck of playing cards..."

Everyone: ???

Everyone at the scene had their CPUs burned out!

The Archaeology Experts and Old Hu's Gang nearly jumped up and cursed.

Damn it... milk-flavored sunflower seeds, dry-fried peanuts, playing cards... these artifacts exclusively meant for chatting... what kind of tomb-finding method is this?

Could it be... that you're going to cry and shout to the heavens, performing some ritual to summon the tomb owner?

And then what? Crack seeds, shell peanuts, and play cards with him?

Talk about feelings?

Facing the stares of the crowd, who looked at him like he was an idiot.

Zheng Jianfeng endured immense pressure.

Everything Su Yun requested, he arranged immediately...

— — [Hahaha! Help! I can't take this anymore...]

— — [Between doing things and being a person, Brother Su chose performing a ritual!]

— — [Lieutenant Colonel Zheng really believes in Brother Su!]

— — [Can he afford not to believe him? If he doesn't believe him, he might dig up another ancient tomb later...]

— — [Su Yun: Good things come in pairs!]

— — [If Brother Su really succeeds, I'll wash my hair standing on my head!]

— — [Don't be so quick to set a flag! What if Brother Su really succeeds?]

— — [To be honest... I'm very curious...]

"Fatty, come with me!"

Wang Fan, dazed, trotted after him.

A question mark remained in his mind: We just became millionaires!?

The camera was left outside.

After entering the tent, Fatty Wang Fan asked, full of doubt: "Brother... do you really have a way to find the tomb!?"

"Of course!"

Su Yun unfolded a folding table inside the tent.

He placed one folding stool on each side.

Milk-flavored sunflower seeds on the left, dry-fried peanuts on the right... The deck of playing cards was unwrapped.

Casually, he removed the Jokers from the complete deck.

Half for you, half for me... "Come on, Fatty!"

"You know how to play Pick Up Sticks, right?"
