Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

"Not bad, I think that Iron Leg guy would be perfect for helping us carry things." Fatty Wang chuckled, pleased that he could now use others as laborers.

"There's such a thing as a production manager in film crews." Wu Yufeng nodded. He already understood that this group of four was from the movie "From Beijing with Love".

Needless to say, Da Vinci, Li Xiangqin, and Ah Xing were all agents under the Southern General.

Ah Xing is the real-life agent Ling Lingqi.

In the movie, Iron Legs, who can float on water, is a death row inmate.

However, the current dating is estimated to be a few years earlier, so this death row inmate had not yet been captured.

It seems that my involvement has changed their storyline.

According to the story in the movie, Ah Xing is investigating the theft of dinosaur skulls, but in reality, the Southern General is using them to rob cultural relics and treasures.

If there's any connection to the current world of tomb raiding, it's that they've obtained intelligence that Uncle Ming is going to raid tombs in Kunlun, and they intend to intercept him halfway.

If we drive them away, they will hide in the shadows and become even more difficult to guard against.

It would be better to keep them by our side; we can make use of their labor force.

"It's not impossible for you to volunteer to join our crew, but you'll have to show off your talents. Our crew doesn't keep idle people."

“Okay, I’ll go first!” Da Vinci volunteered.

"This is the ultimate weapon I invented!" Da Vinci boasted, pulling out a bunch of miscellaneous items: "Watermelon knife, iron chain, gunpowder, sulfuric acid, insecticide, pistol, and hand grenade."

"Each of them can stand on their own and protect everyone's safety when encountering danger in the wild!"

Da Vinci looked at everyone with a smug expression.

“This won’t do!” Wu Yutian waved his hand. “We have Zhongnanhai bodyguards here, as well as mercenaries and gang thugs. You don’t need these weapons. Next!”

Da Vinci turned around and whispered in Li Xiangqin's ear, "It seems infiltrating the enemy isn't so easy. It's up to you guys from now on. I'll support you from the shadows."

Chapter 26: Ah Xing's Pissing Beef Balls Shock Everyone

“I studied secretarial studies in college.” Li Xiangqin learned a lesson from Da Vinci: if she demonstrated her espionage skills, such as sniper rifles, she would obviously not pass the interview.

"I can type documents, communicate quickly and accurately, report work, and convey information."

"Yes, we've already seen your reporting skills, and your image and demeanor are quite good too," Wu Yutian praised. After all, she was the daughter of Li Xianglan, a legendary singer in Shanghai, so her innate genetic conditions were excellent.

Of course, Wu Yutian was also aware that the other party was a secret agent who had been trained by the villainous BOSS, General Nanfang, for more than ten years. If she were to become a signed artist, she would definitely be a ticking time bomb. It was necessary to see what kind of labor value she had that could be exploited.

“You can demonstrate your typing skills. Ji Wen, go and get a computer.”

Long Jiwen, as expected of a college student with overseas study experience, already knows how to use a computer.

However, at this time, desktop computers were still very bulky and needed to be moved over by others.

Moreover, in August 1981, IBM launched the world's first commercial computer, the IBM 5150, which was priced at $1500 in the United States, but when imported into China, it cost as much as 5000 RMB, and there were strict purchase restrictions.

Therefore, there were fewer than ten units in total at the Crescent Hotel.

However, inkjet printers existed as early as the 70s, while dot matrix printers existed even earlier, so Long Jiwen also requested a dot matrix printer.

"Could you type out the outline of the TV drama script that I just handwrote? It's about a thousand words long."

During a break, Wu Yutian wrote a new TV drama script outline in his notebook and asked Long Jiwen to give it to Li Xiangqin to work on.

Based on Wu Yutian's understanding of writers' speeds before his transmigration, typing 5000 words per hour using the Pinyin typing method is generally considered a qualified typist.

Sure enough, Li Xiangqin typed 1000 words in just six minutes!

In other words, she has a typing speed of 10,000 words per hour!

Even if you put this in 2022 before the time travel, this would be considered a very good typing job.

"Very good, you've been accepted. Jiwen, you can leave the text editing work to Xiangqin from now on." Wu Yutian felt that Long Jiwen had a degree from a prestigious American university and should do more planning work. It would be best if someone else could take over the more tedious tasks.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!" Li Xiangqin spontaneously gave a military salute.

Uncle Ming was slightly taken aback.

"Oh, my dad is a soldier, so I've loved saluting since I was little!" Li Xiangqin quickly explained.

“I understand.” Wu Yutian nodded slightly. “I was also a soldier in the trucks, and A-Zheng here is also an active-duty soldier. You can exchange ideas when you have time.”

“The two of you will be tested together to save time,” Wu Yutian said. “Iron Legs, you can walk on water. I’ll test your ability to run errands and deliver goods.”

“Here is a shoulder-mounted camera. You start from here, go to Qianmen Street, two kilometers away, buy two Peking ducks from Kyoto, and record the process on camera along the way.”

"No problem, I've worked on film sets before, as a camera assistant." It turns out that his skills in carrying goods and running errands came from working as a camera assistant and production assistant on film sets.

"Your nickname is too long. From now on, I'll call you Iron Legs. Start the timer now, begin!"

As soon as Wu Yutian gave the order, Iron Legs Water Float rushed out carrying a camera.

"Alright, it's your turn, Pork Prince Ah Xing. As the name suggests, you should be the head chef of your mess hall, right?"

“That’s right.” Ah Xing pulled out a butcher knife from his waist and began to wield it rapidly.

A Dong pulled out his pistol again, and Xu Zhengyang also grabbed a throwing knife.

"We're not here to watch you perform tricks," Wu Yutian waved his hand. "To be the head chef for the crew, we need to see the quality and speed at which you cook. Do you have the confidence to demonstrate that?"

"No problem!" Before anyone knew it, Ah Xing had already taken out a heavy-duty round chopping block and placed it on the coffee table.

“I brought the ingredients too!” Da Vinci took out a piece of premium sirloin beef from his all-purpose toolbox. He also brought a picnic stove and cooking utensils.

He proved to be an excellent kitchen supply provider.

"Watch closely, everyone!" This time, Ah Xing wasn't performing acrobatics; instead, he was using his knife skills to chop meat.

"If this knife skill were used to kill people, I'm afraid even the leaders of our gangs wouldn't be able to withstand it," Chicken muttered to Chan Ho-nam and Chiang Tin-sang.

"Hmm, I think this young man is quite good!" Jiang Tiansheng also praised loudly, "It's a waste of his talent to only be a chef. How about coming to Hong Kong with me? I'll definitely give you the best restaurant!"

"No!" Ah Xing loudly refused. "My dream is to become a good chef and eventually become the God of Cookery!"

The beef balls had barely left his mouth when they were already in the pot!

Less than ten minutes later, Iron Legs Floating on Water had already run back, carrying two steaming roast ducks in one hand and a camera in the other.

"Iron Legs' speed is excellent! Ji Wen, take another look at the footage he shot with the video player." Wu Yutian needed an excellent sports photographer.

The private room in the hotel already had a large color TV and a video recorder.

Just then, the videotape was put in, and it played back the route Iron Legs took.

"Very good, the picture is stable, as smooth as flowing water, you are a talent!" Wu Yufeng praised, "Iron Leg can stay."

"My pissing beef balls are ready, everyone can try them." Ah Xing served more than twenty beef balls on a plate.

"Why is it called 'Pissing Beef Ball'? It's such a strange name." Jiang Tiansheng found it quite interesting, but he examined it closely and dared not take a bite, fearing that some assassin had poisoned the beef ball.

"I'll do it." The pheasant couldn't resist and took a bite!

Poof! ! !

"What is this?!" Everyone was shocked!

Chapter 27: A Bet with Hung Hing's Chiang Tin-sang

puff!

When the "pissing beef ball" is bitten open, a thick stream of juice sprays out from inside the beef ball due to high temperature and pressure!

"It feels like it's spraying out, so refreshing!" Pheasant revealed a blissful smile.

This is like he's on ecstasy.

"Is it really that amazing?" Jiang Tiansheng finally couldn't resist his curiosity and took a bite as well.

puff!puff!

Everyone followed suit, and for a moment, the people at the table seemed to have entered a shared climax of joy.

Wu Yutian had seen a similar scene in the movie "The God of Cookery".

However, you can't experience the flavors depicted in a movie by using your taste buds.

Now that I've actually tried it, I don't know how amazing the "pissing beef balls" can be!

"Great, you're hired! Our production team wants you as the head chef!"

"Thank you, Brother Tian, ​​but I have another favor to ask." Ah Xing put away his butcher knife, lit a cigarette, and made a leisurely request.

"You said."

"As you all saw just now, my expertise is only in knife skills and cooking. But before I start cooking and after I finish, I still need someone else to do the work of preparing pots and pans, setting up the stove and starting the fire."

"That is, my old partner Da Vinci. He works with me so that I can better showcase my culinary skills. So I hope Brother Tian can give Da Vinci a chance to come to the set and help me prepare these supplies and ingredients."

“Hmm.” Wu Yutian nodded. “I noticed that too. Although we don’t need his so-called ultimate weapon, the material support he provides for other missions should be pretty good.”

"Our props team is short of manpower, so why not make the most of Da Vinci and have him become the head of the props team?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Jiang Tiansheng nodded slightly. “His so-called ultimate weapon is no good for fighting, but it’s quite interesting as a prop.”

"Then it's settled." Wu Yufeng looked around. "However, our table is a bit cramped. I think it would be better if one of you four sent a representative to our table for the meeting. The other three can eat with the bodyguards at the other table and wait for us."

“Then I’ll do it. I can also help the crew take meeting minutes.” Li Xiangqin also took out her notebook and pen.

“Alright, from today onwards, you'll be our production manager.” Wu Yutian gestured for Li Xiangqin to sit next to Long Jiwen. “Could you please make twenty more copies of the script outline we just printed?”

"Okay." Li Xiangqin skillfully operated the photocopier and made twenty more copies of the printed document.
