First day since the release of the new book.
Youyou urgently arranged for Lin Chuan a big splash promotion, screen flash promotion, old reader app pop-up notifications, and other recommendations, which worked well with thirty thousand collections in one day.
It should soon reach one hundred thousand collections and unlock the second tomb-robbing copy.
Following that.
Next is the film adaptation process of "All-In".
"All-In" had been through more than twenty days of adaptation and casting and had already started filming.
Due to the zealous urging of the Anti-Fraud Center, the filming is expected to be completed in two months.
It might be released in cinemas in September or October.
Moreover, there's the Network Security Company and the Antique Shop.
The company maintains close cooperation with the police at all times, and under the planning of the Little Landlady, it has become a large network security company in Anling, rivaling other major network security companies like "Jintang".
Its growth momentum is very strong.
As for the Antique Shop, it goes without saying.
Old Zhang has been working himself to death, and because of this, he's even planning to recruit a few more helpers, and the recruitment ad has already been sent out; soon, there should be applicants knocking on the door.
Another piece of good news.
The film and television rights for "Last Week's Antique" have caught someone's eye, and currently, the copyright operation department at Start-up is negotiating with the other party.
The other party was not very satisfied with the name, so Lin Chuan thought about it and sent one over.
— "Antique Scam".
The other party was very satisfied with it.
Lin Chuan was also satisfied.
Now with the novel career thriving, two film adaptations in the pipeline, the Network Security Company thriving, and the door of Goldstone Edge Antique Shop teeming with visitors.
How wonderful!
Lin Chuan lazily stretched, his current goal: strive to turn "Touch Gold Notes" into a major IP, to make a dash for the Heavenly King spot by year's end, or even, Influent Author!
There's also a smaller goal.
— To stay at home and avoid getting into trouble.
Cough, not to become a criminal suspect!
...
Elsewhere.
Qin Sisi had been engrossed in Lin Chuan's world of tomb robbing, unable to extricate herself, rereading the thirty thousand words three times.
Finally, on July 3rd, she had a mission to undertake.
Reluctantly, she closed "Touch Gold Notes", meticulously packed her equipment, and set off on her journey to the Qilu Region.
Transportation is very convenient now.
The National Archaeological Team Nine, taking a high-speed train, arrived in Linyi that very afternoon.
Tomb robbing pays attention to "Observation, Listening, Inquiry, Pulse Taking", and in fact, so does archaeology.
The "Inquiry" part is indispensable.
Captain Yao had already contacted a history and archaeology professor from Linyi University, to accompany them deep into the Taiyi Mountain Range for archaeological exploration.
July 4th.
The Archaeological Team Nine started their march into the mountains.
A group of people in two off-road vehicles.
In the car, Old Yao looked at Professor Qi and said with a smile, "Professor Qi has a profound understanding of Qilu's historical culture, especially in terms of tombs; for us, it's like a tiger gaining wings."
Professor Qi responded directly, "Captain Yao, you've found the right person by asking me. This stretch of the mountain range, I have visited in earlier years for surveys and spoke with many Feng Shui Masters."
"Professor Qi understands Feng Shui as well?" Old Yao raised an eyebrow in interest and asked.
"Of course."
Professor Qi appeared to be around fifty, with a ruddy complexion, and was relatively fit due to regular exercise.
Qin Sisi was also in the car, listening to the conversation between Old Yao and Professor Qi while looking out the window.
At this moment, the off-road vehicle, following a logging track into the mountains, had gone deep into the mountain range, climbing heights from where the continuous mountain range looked like a giant dragon lying in repose.
In the car.
Professor Qi observed the members of the archaeological team and said with a laugh, "If I may say so, modern archaeology and tomb raiding are somewhat different. For example, tomb raiders can rely on the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique to observe the Dragon Vein, determine the burial spot, and see everything with just a pair of eyes."
Old Yao also let out a sigh and said with a wry smile, "Yes, it's just that our archaeological team doesn't have anyone skilled in tomb raiding or Feng Shui."
"Haha, not exactly."
Professor Qi raised an eyebrow.
Old Yao was taken aback, "Could it be that Professor Qi is a master of these arts?"
"In my early years, for the sake of archaeology research, I had many exchanges with Feng Shui Masters and tomb raiders. Let me test you all, do you know what the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Secret Technique in the tomb-raiding tradition is?" Professor Qi treated the archaeologists as his students.
Old Yao shook his head.
The members of the archaeological team looked at each other, clueless.
At that moment.
Qin Sisi heard the familiar term "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" and murmured, "Heaven, Earth, Man, Ghost, God, Buddha, Demon, Beast, Scare, Subdue, Escape, Object, Transform, Yin, Yang, Void."
Professor Qi's expression changed with surprise.
He hadn't expected someone to answer so accurately, pre-empting the content he was about to expound upon without missing a word.
You've stolen my lines!
However, Old Yao's eyes lit up, "Qin, continue, please?"
Sitting in her seat, Qin Sisi smiled and began, "These are the Sixteen Phrases of Touch Gold Captain, according to Feng Shui techniques, they can determine all sorts of conditions of an ancient tomb, it can be said to be a gem in the tomb-raiding circle.
However, due to the loss of transmission over generations, now the part related to the Yin-Yang Technique in the Touch Gold Captain's Sixteen Maxims is missing, leaving only the Sixteen Feng Shui Phrases."
The few people in the car were all taken aback, involuntarily turning to look at this young girl who had just joined the National Archaeological Team.
Old Yao was curious as well, asking, "Qin, have you also studied Feng Shui techniques?"
Qin Sisi quickly shook her head, "Captain Yao, I read it in a novel, where it was explained in detail."
