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

Chapter 40 Operation Review
"I'd be a dog if I lied to you." Zhang Wuxun handed the bead to Wu Xiaoxie, who had just walked in, and said, "If you don't believe me, let Tianzhen take a look and see if it's a fisheye stone."

Under the fat man's expectant gaze, Wu Xiaoxie picked up the bead, weighed it in his hand, and said, "This is indeed a fisheye stone."

The fat man looked dazed, as if he had suffered a huge blow. He rolled his eyes and was about to lean back when Zhang Wuxun quickly helped him sit down. "Don't get excited. Listen to me. Although this fish-eye stone is not as valuable as a luminous pearl, it is still extremely rare. If we really find a buyer, we can still exchange it for a villa."

The fat man's eyes were filled with tears. "Really?"

"Really, really." Wu Xiaoxie quickly patted his chest to help him catch his breath. "I know a big client who can ask him for you."

The fat man gave him a look as if he were entrusting his son to him, saying, "Then I'm handing this villa over to you. If I had known, I would have waited a little longer and knocked down a few more. Sigh."

The fat man sighed, "Maybe we can get a different plane to fly."

"Alright, stop daydreaming. Here, there are four exactly. Let's each take one." Zhang Wuxun pulled out another fish-eye stone from his pocket. "I also have a few folded porcelain bowls and a few flower plates. They should be worth quite a bit of money."

Upon hearing this, the fat man's eyes widened. "What? When did you do this?"

Wu Xiaoxie also looked puzzled, "What bowl?"

Zhang Wuxun returned to the cabin, took out four bowls and two fine-green plates from his storage space, put them in his backpack, and pulled the young man who had just woken up to snuggle up in the cockpit together.

"It appeared in my treasure chest when I woke up." Zhang Wuxun didn't dare to tell the truth, afraid that Xiao Tianzhen would beat him up. "I guess it's compensation from the thing that controlled me before."

Wu Xiaoxie frowned. "I didn't have time to ask you before, what exactly is that thing? What is its purpose in controlling your body?"

Zhang Wuxun shook his head. "I don't know. Anyway, it's not something dirty from the tomb. I guess it's related to my other half's bloodline. I can feel that it doesn't have any ill intentions towards me. That strange knife is probably its weapon, which is why tattoos suddenly appeared on my body after I held it in my hand."

He couldn't tell the three brothers about the existence of the system, so he could only attribute the cause to their bloodline and the already revealed treasure chest (space).

Wu Xiaoxie nodded; that made sense.

"Anyway, you should be more careful. All those injuries are quite frightening," Wu Xiaoxie said.

Zhang Wuxun's fabricated story could only fool Xiao Tianzhen and the half-fat guy. The young man clearly didn't believe it, but he wasn't the type to pry.

Everyone has secrets they can't tell, including themselves.

The fat man was already rummaging through the backpack, examining the treasures inside. "Wow, these are all good stuff! We've struck it rich this time!"

Wu Xiaoxie also estimated the price: "The minimum price for one of these Ming Dynasty Sanxing blue and white porcelain bowls with a bent waist is at least one million. The Jiqing dish is probably about the same."

“Good brothers should share the good times and the bad.” Zhang Wuxun didn’t hold back and handed the bag directly to Wu Xiaoxie. “You have connections, so you and Fatty can discuss how to handle it. Divide it into four portions, and everyone who sees it will get a share.”

“No way.” The fat man was the first to refuse. “We can share the fisheye stone, but not the plate and bowl. You risked all your life to get these. We can just enjoy the sight of them. If we really split them equally, what kind of thing would that be?”

"You saved my life, Fatty. You're practically a brother to me, we'd die for each other. Talking about money would hurt our relationship."

Seeing that Zhang Wuxun was about to get upset, Wu Xiaoxie quickly said, "How about this, the three of us—me, Fatty, and I—will take 10%, and the remaining 30% is yours."

"Then half and half, half and half is fine, right?" Zhang Wuxun made the decision, deliberately putting on a stern face. "Just accept it when I tell you to. Don't dawdle like a woman. If you keep refusing, it means you don't consider me one of your own." Fatty and Wu Xiaoxie exchanged a glance, nodded, and smiled, "Okay."

Zhang Wuxun smiled and said, "I'm at ease leaving it to you. Remember to call me if you need any work in the future, and we can make money together."

As for the young man, when it came to dividing the spoils... oops, I mean, dividing the money, he had no say.

Fatty didn't say anything more. He and Wu Xiaoxie packed up and disguised the things. When they got off the boat, each of them carried a bowl in their backpack and slipped onto the island among the fishermen who were taking shelter from the typhoon.

After taking a taxi to the guesthouse, Fatty first took Aning to the military hospital, and then came back to meet up with the three of them.

In the guest house.

The four of them sat around the coffee table, waiting for their instant noodles while reviewing their tomb raiding operation in their notebooks.

Zhang Wuxun poured himself a cup of hot water, added a small packet of fruit tea, and took a sip. "I think the owner of this sea tomb is definitely Wang Zanghai, but whether the mummified corpse sitting in the stone slab is him is another matter."

After all, although Wang Zanghai was an eccentric man, it was impossible for him to plant a machine bomb on himself; only someone with a brain would do such a thing.

Wu Xiaoxie nodded in agreement, "Based on the images and Xiao Ge's deductions, we can conclude that the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds is located on Changbai Mountain. As for who is buried inside, we don't know. We can only deduce that it is a Mongolian woman with an extremely special status."

The fat man, envious, grabbed a packet of fruit tea from Zhang Wuxun and poured boiling water over it. Hearing this, he became slightly excited, saying, "Wouldn't there be a lot of treasures buried with us in there?"

Wu Xiaoxie glared at him, "All you ever think about is treasures. We're talking seriously, can you stop interrupting?"

The fat man immediately pointed at him and complained to Zhang Wuxun, "Muyu, you have to do something about him. All that Fatty did was add an extra egg and a sausage, and he's already trying to bully people."

"Pah!" Wu Xiaoxie laughed in anger. "You really are so damn shameless. You eat my food and live in my house. What's wrong with me saying a few words to you? It's just an egg and a sausage. Why did you put such a big chicken leg in a dog's bowl?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, the fat man said in a fierce but weak voice, "You can take the first bite of the chicken leg, okay? I won't mind your saliva."

The house was rented by Wu Xiaoxie, and the expenses for things like instant noodles were also charged to Wu Xiaoxie's account. Prices on tourist islands like this are usually ridiculously expensive, so it's no wonder Xiao Tianzhen was complaining.

Back at Wushanju, he and Wang Mengmeng would split a pack of instant noodles in half to eat. Zhang Wuxun went there several times, promising to treat them, but in the end, they usually got braised beef noodles. After Zhang Wuxun complained once, he finally got them to have hot and sour soup noodles with chili oil instead.

That's really good.

"You're something else!" Zhang Wuxun exclaimed, reaching out to tickle his armpit. "Fatty, you actually dared to eat alone!"

The fat man promptly raised his hands in surrender, "One bite each, one bite each, is that alright?"

After a few laughs and jokes, the instant noodles were ready.

A bucket of instant noodles in front of each person. Let's get back to the main topic and continue the discussion.
