Tomb Raiding: My Family's Last Clan Chief is Little Brother

Chapter 1 Two Precious Swords
Inside the Zhang Family Ancient Building, Zhang Wuxun finally collapsed from exhaustion and was overwhelmed by swarms of Miluotuo.

Zhang Wuxun thought he was dead.

He did die, but he was resurrected in another way!
-

Under the bright sunshine, the distant mountains stretch endlessly, the scenery is beautiful and the landscape is delightful, a truly unique landscape painting.

In the mountain stream, a big black dog splashed around in the water, having a great time, and every now and then it would dart into the bushes to play hide-and-seek with itself.

Zhang Wuxun, with a lollipop dangling from the corner of his mouth, leaned lazily against his large backpack, gazing at the emerald green mountain stream before him, and sighed wistfully.

"Sigh..." How did he end up with such a terrible thing?

That's just like the mother bird crying for her son, what a coincidence!

As the old saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

Curious about his origins, after discovering the family's ancient building recorded in the fragments left by his father, he took advantage of his skills, equipped with gear and a cat, and went to Banna to uncover the mystery of his origins.

In the end, the cat disappeared without a trace, while he himself died.

Then I was bound to a guy who called himself a system and transported to the very first year recorded in the incomplete scroll.

Upon hearing the system's explanation, Zhang Wuxun realized that the world he had lived in for twenty years was actually derived from a tomb raiding novel.

To be honest, Zhang Wuxun was so shocked that he was numb. Anyone who knew that they only existed in a novel world would be shocked to death on the spot.

Zhang Wuxun is relatively good at accepting things.

However, this doesn't change the fact that he wanted to swear.

[So, system, what is my mission? I didn't come here to relax and enjoy myself, did I?]
Although the scenery here is indeed beautiful, Zhang Wuxun, who has read the tattered scrolls left by his father, knows that hidden in a secluded corner of this beautiful landscape, there is a cave filled with corpses.

[Beep—Main storyline now starting]

[Mission issued: Protect Wu Xiaoxie as he safely enters and exits the Seven Star Lu Palace]

[Task Reward: Materialization Ability (Low-Level)]

(Note: Materialization ability levels, low-beginner-intermediate-advanced-final)
Zhang Wuxun raised an eyebrow and replied to the system in his mind.

[Main quest? What, you mean there are side quests too?]
The system carefully explained: "This system arose from the regrets of many fans outside the world of tomb raiding. The reason it chose to bind with a host is because the host's abilities and skills are the only ones in this generation of the Zhang family who can almost rival the last patriarch."

Zhang Wuxun chuckled. "So, I should thank you for 'being trapped'?"

The system, unaware of Zhang Wuxun's inner turmoil, continued to dutifully explain.

[The host needs to complete the main quests issued by the system while doing their best to resolve the regrets of the fans.]

As if afraid Zhang Wuxun would refuse, the system added.

[The system will reward the host accordingly for each completed task.]

Zhang Wuxun was still very unhappy. [If there are such benefits, why don't you do it yourself?]
The system hesitated for a long time before finally giving him an ambiguous answer.

[What do you mean by "needing a medium"? System, please explain clearly.]
The system pretended to be dead and disappeared without a trace. Zhang Wu called out to it for a long time, but it didn't make a sound.

"Damn it..." Zhang Wuxun angrily crunched the candy in his mouth, chewed it up a few times and swallowed it, then took out another one from his pocket, tore open the packaging and threw it into his mouth.

[Hey, you bastard, if you want me to do a quest, you have to give me a decent weapon, right? The scroll says there are blood corpses in the Seven Star Lu Palace, you can't expect me to go empty-handed.]
[I won't ask for much more, just get me a black gold ancient sword like the one my grandfather, the clan chief, always used.]
Zhang Wuxun had an expression that said, "I'm easy to talk to."

The system was silent for two seconds.

The next instant, a rectangular ebony box, more than a meter long, appeared on the grass beside Zhang Wuxun, with a handle on one side.

"Hey! There really is one." Zhang Wuxun's eyes lit up immediately, and he leaned closer to examine it.

On the same side of the handle, there was a silver mechanism lock. Zhang Wuxun studied it for a long time and found that in addition to the fixed password, this thing could also be unlocked with a fingerprint.

"Wow! High-tech, System! Let me try to unlock it."

Zhang Wuxun chuckled twice, then habitually pressed his left thumb into the oval-shaped groove on the lock. No response?
[You dog, did you just set this up as a decoration?]
The system is exhausted. [You can open it with either the middle finger of your left or right hand.]

Zhang Wuxun tried it out, and it actually worked. So he gave a half-hearted apology: "[Sorry, Tongzi, it's just that who would set the middle finger on this fingerprint lock? It's normal that I didn't think of it for a moment.]"
The system, too lazy to argue with him, simply reminded him: "[Main quest is about to begin. Please prepare, host.]"

[knew.]
Zhang Wuxun didn't even look up; his attention was completely drawn to the box that had popped open.

On the bright yellow brocade are two ancient-style long swords placed side by side, their powerful and fierce aura already palpable even before they are drawn.

"Hiss..." Zhang Wuxun's eyes were practically squinting with joy.

I'm such a good boy!
This system is pretty awesome.

Zhang Wuxun picked up the slightly longer knife, felt the patterns on the scabbard, and lightly pressed the small mechanism at the top with his thumb. The blade popped out half an inch with a swirl.

Zhang Wuxun gripped the hilt with his left hand and drew the sword. The blade rubbed against the scabbard, producing a crisp sound that was incredibly pleasant to the ear.

The knife is single-edged, with a silver-white blade, while the back of the blade is black with golden auspicious cloud patterns.

On the bottom of the hilt, two complex characters are engraved in small seal script on both sides – skull.

"Whoa!" Zhang Wuxun stood up excitedly, wielding the knife in one hand and making a neat and beautiful knife flourish. The silver bottle shattered, and the air seemed to be torn apart.

That's damn impressive!

The entire knife appears to be over a meter long, and its style is similar to that of a Tang dynasty horizontal sword.

Zhang Wuxun noticed a card under the box, picked it up and read it; it detailed the dimensions of the knife.

This sword, named Skull, is 110 cm long overall, with a blade length of 76 cm, a blade width of 3.7 cm, and a blade thickness of 0.5 cm. Including the scabbard, it weighs 140 jin (approximately 70 catties), and the single blade weighs 130 jin (approximately 65 catties). It is a male sword.

Zhang Wuxun sheathed the skull sword, picked up another one, and found a card underneath it as well.

This sword, named "Illusion Play," is 105 cm long overall, with a blade length of 74 cm, a blade width of 3.6 cm, and a blade thickness of 0.5 cm. Including the scabbard, it weighs 130 jin (approximately 65 catties), and the single blade weighs 120 jin (approximately 60 catties). It is a female sword.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Zhang Wuxun sighed and made a teasing remark.

[System, you're suddenly being so nice to me; it's kind of strange.]
The system gave a very serious answer.

This system has always treated the host very well.

Zhang Wuxun chuckled and drew the knife called Illusion Play.

Similar to the skull, the Illusionary Play also has a silver blade with a black background and red flame patterns on the back, and the two characters "Illusionary Play" are engraved on it in small seal script. However, the shape of the blade resembles the Embroidered Spring Blade of the Ming Dynasty.

Both knives have scabbards made of the same material: ebony.

Having suddenly acquired two precious knives, Zhang Wu was overjoyed.

Actually, he had just said it casually before, but he didn't expect the system to be so honest and immediately give him two weapons that were comparable to the clan chief's black gold ancient sword.

Suddenly I feel like I have something to look forward to in the future.

Ahem, Zhang Wuxun started climbing the pole.

[Um, could you make a narrower box for me, one that can hold just one knife? It's not very convenient to carry two knives everywhere.]
The system remained silent for a longer time this time, as if it was considering the situation.

Then another ebony box, more than a meter long, appeared in front of Zhang Wuxun. It was the same size as the previous one, but much narrower.

The system also thoughtfully included a retractable shoulder strap on the box, which is very sturdy.

"Oh my god!" Zhang Wuxun exclaimed, immediately taking out the skull and putting it into the narrow box. Then he put the large box and the illusion inside into his spatial storage.

This space was a consolation reward given by the system on Zhang Wuxun's first day after he transmigrated here.

Zhang Wuxun didn't know how big the space was, but it should be quite large.

I have to say, our system is incredibly generous.

New author, new work; I'm posting the book, not the TV series. Thank you for your support.
