Chapter 25: The Untold Secret of Shanhe University!

Qin Mu checked his challenge point balance, which had now reached 3,020 points.

"Thankfully, I discovered this mother-son tomb using the dragon-hunting and gold-divining technique from the [Grandmaster Archaeological Extraction]. Otherwise, I might not have completed this task," Qin Mu muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Yesterday, they managed to excavate the cultural relics in the tomb within a few hours, but the system task took much longer to complete. Qin Mu had to use the secret technique from the [Grandmaster Archaeological Extraction] multiple times to discover another burial beneath, which they had only managed to excavate today.

Finally, within a day, the time-limited system task was accomplished.

"It's time to prepare to inform Mr. Hu," Qin Mu said, taking a deep breath as he turned to Liu Datou.

Four hours later, at dusk, Hu Zhengchu and his archaeological team arrived at the construction site once again. As soon as they met, Hu Zhengchu wasted no time and asked Qin Mu about the existence of other nearby tombs apart from the one they discovered yesterday.

Qin Mu nodded and gestured behind him, where the cultural relics from the mother-son tomb were displayed—more than 5,000 pieces, including exquisite bronzes, porcelain, gold, bamboo, and silk items.

Seeing this, Hu Zhengchu's eyes widened again, and he was overwhelmed with excitement, his face flushed. However, the surge of emotions took a toll on him, and he struggled to catch his breath.

"Quick! Get the Suxiao Jiuxin Pills!" the other members of the archaeological team swiftly reacted, handing Hu Zhengchu some quick-acting heart-rescuing pills they carried with them. He consumed several of them.

After a few minutes, Hu Zhengchu recovered, though the excitement on his face remained undiminished. The discovery of more than 5,000 cultural relics was enough to make this a nationally significant tomb.

However, Hu Zhengchu couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't found this large tomb when he visited the site yesterday. The preservation of the tomb indicated that it hadn't been discovered during the construction process, as it would have likely been damaged.

Qin Mu blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed. After a long pause, he raised his head to look at Hu Zhengchu with a complicated expression and asked, "How did you find out that there are tombs below?"

Hu Zhengchu pondered for a moment before responding, "Looking for dragons and dividing gold... Have you heard of it?"

Qin Mu hesitated briefly before nodding and lowering his voice. "Yes, it's called the dragon-hunting and gold-dividing technique. But it's a secret technique of Shanhe University. Only individuals associated with our university can learn it."

This revelation left Hu Zhengchu deep in thought. He bowed his head, lost in contemplation, and didn't say a word for a while. Eventually, he made up his mind and turned to Qin Mu, saying, "Alright, I'll join Shanhe University!"

In the live broadcast room, viewers heard Hu Zhengchu's decision and were even more excited than Qin Mu.

"Wow, did Hu Zhengchu actually agree? Why the sudden change? What did Qin Mu whisper to him just now?"

"It seems like Qin Mu mentioned something that can only be learned by joining Shanhe University. Could it be related to archaeology?"

"It's another major discovery, and it was excavated by a group of construction workers."

Many viewers had been watching the live broadcast since morning and had witnessed the entire process of Qin Mu leading construction workers in excavating this enormous tomb. The sheer scale of the discovery left them in awe.

However, the fact that it was uncovered by construction workers on a construction site was a severe blow to the archaeological community.

On Weibo, a new trending topic emerged: "The Tomb of the Han Dynasty Prince." It quickly gained national attention, revealing that a large tomb had been discovered at the intersection of four provinces. Over 300 construction workers, led by Qin Mu, had excavated the tomb.

Netizens marveled at the fact that a royal-level tomb, which would typically take months for an archaeological team to excavate, had been uncovered in just one day. They couldn't help but comment on the extraordinary achievements of Shanhe University's archaeology major.

"The scale of this tomb is astonishing. While other archaeological teams would take months, Shanhe University accomplished it in a single day. Incredible!"

"They've done it again, slapping professionals in the face. Where is their professional integrity?"

"To be more precise, the principal of Shanhe University and a group of construction workers with no experience uncovered this royal tomb in just one day!"

"The archeology major at Shanhe University is truly impressive!"

The discovery of this Han Dynasty tomb reignited the fervor surrounding the archaeology major at Shanhe University, and interest in the program reached new heights.
