Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

If you were to ask Shen Mingchao how he feels right now...

regret.

I deeply regret it.

She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and fallen for the man's trick.

The news left by the white snake spread like wildfire, and for the next two weeks, she witnessed firsthand the diversity of human species.

First came the aluminum triangle.

When Shen Mingchao visited on the second day of May Day, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Li Chu tossed his hair, deliberately revealing the tattoo on his forehead, and smiled at her: "Tomorrow, we went back and stayed up all night cramming on the original story. How is it? Does it look similar?"

Shen Mingchao didn't speak. Her attention wasn't on Li Cu's version of Harry, but unconsciously shifted to the right, landing on the person on her right who was looking down, with long brown curly hair hanging down, almost covering his entire face.

With a hint of suspicion in her mind, she asked with a complicated expression, "You...you wouldn't happen to be Su Wan, would you?"

"No~~" A sweet voice came from under the curly hair, giving Shen Mingchao goosebumps.

"I'm Hermione~~"

Heni—

Shen Mingchao's vision went black, and the water glass in his hand was itching to fall on Su Wan's head at any moment.

Li Chu was the most astute person. Sensing the situation was not good, he immediately made way and grabbed Su Wan's robe, pulling him to the front.

"Hey, you!" Su Wan staggered, and before he could regain his balance, he reached out and grabbed Yang Hao's robe, using the momentum to pull Yang Hao in front of him.

The dazzling red hair suddenly entered Shen Mingchao's field of vision. She looked at the fake "Ron" in front of her who was smirking at her, put her hand to her forehead, and sighed.

What terrible things did I do to deserve this scene so early in the morning?

wrong.

She shouldn't have gotten up so early.

She checked her phone; it showed [8:06]. Not bad. This time might be a bit late for working people and students, but it was just right for her, an unemployed person preparing for an exam, so she could take another nap.

He didn't give the three pirates another glance.

Shen Mingchao slammed the door shut, shutting out the demons and monsters, and mechanically walked back inside.

Outside the door, the fake trio looked at the tightly closed door, sighed, and then blamed each other.

Su Wan: "I told you I didn't want to dress as a woman, and now look what happened, I scared everyone away."

Yang Hao: "Is it possible that you're ugly?"

Su Wan: "Wow, you've never been confessed to by a girl in your life, what right do you have to call someone ugly?"

Yang Hao: "You've already been confessed to, go ahead and date him, no one's stopping you."

Li Cu: "Alright, what's the point of saying all this now? The door's already closed."

After being turned away countless times, the three of them were dejected and about to leave when, unfortunately, they encountered the White Snake on the way and were subjected to a barrage of sarcastic remarks, being told that they were merely imitating others.

If they could endure this, they'd be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Shen Mingchao, who had just begun to feel sleepy, heard a faint commotion outside the door. She got up, filled a bowl with water from the bathroom, opened the door, and splashed it out.

Then the whole world went quiet.

She went back into the room, threw herself onto the soft bed, and silently told herself: Just treat it as a dream, I'm still moved even after waking up.

But little did she know that this farce had only just begun.

After finally getting through the aluminum triangle, on an ordinary morning, she opened the door and saw a middle-aged version of the Harry Potter trio.

"Hey, Mingchao~" The person in front of her showed his signature eight teeth and greeted her with a big smile.

Aside from his black hair and green eyes, the person in front of him had absolutely nothing to do with Harry, as his muscles practically stretched his black robes into a visible outline.

Under Shen Mingchao's blatant scrutiny, Kan Jian scratched his head, avoiding her gaze.

Okay, at least you know how to be embarrassed.

This shows they still have some shame.

She looked to the right again, and this time it was different. Her gaze was drawn to a head of bright red hair. Then she looked at the face. Well, it wasn't ugly, but dude, can't you have some cosplay ethics?

The earrings I can't give up are really distracting.

Ron would never wear a cross earring!

"Wh...what's wrong?" Luo Que asked, then looked away.

They must know they have some shame.

"It's alright." Shen Mingchao sincerely suggested, "Next time, just be yourself."

"Oh..." Red Hair lowered his head.

What's wrong with you?

Feeling somewhat "reluctant," Shen Mingchao turned and went inside, took out a box, took out a lollipop, and handed it out.

"It's something I've treasured."

Luo Que looked up with a hint of surprise, said "thank you," and carefully took it, intending to put it in his pocket.

Shen Mingchao stopped him: "Eat now."

"Ming Dynasty, I...I also want to..." Kan Jian next to him spoke up, not understanding why he was given the cold shoulder while Luo Que received a kind face and even a lollipop, despite being in the same situation.

"You want some too?" Shen Mingchao agreed readily. "Sure."

Kan Jian was flattered, but before he could reach out, Luo Que, who was eating a lollipop, hissed and said with a contorted expression, "So sour."

"Sour? That's right, sour. This is some souvenir I bought before, called sour lollipops. I took a bite, and it was so hard to swallow that I kept it as a souvenir. Even the best things can't be kept forever. You guys are in luck."

As he spoke, Shen Mingchao handed the candy box forward: "Brother Kan Jian, don't you want it? Here, this whole box is for you."

"No, no, no." Kan Jian took a step back, his expression changing incredibly quickly. "Give it to Sparrow. He loves lollipops. Sparrow! This is a token of Mingchao's goodwill. Take it now and finish it all, you hear me? We can't waste food."

Luo Que: "..."

He didn't say anything, calmly took the box, unwrapped a lollipop, pressed down on his vest, and forcefully stuffed the candy inside.

Brothers may not share the sweetness, but they must share the sourness.

In the brief moment between the two people's struggles, the third person, who had been hiding at the very back, was revealed.

A cold wind blew by, and the man shivered.

Just then, San San came out of the house with cat-like steps, circled around the person's legs a few times, and acted very affectionately.

The man's identity was obvious.

Shen Mingchao looked at the person in front of him. His short, messy hair had grown longer, and the "male" part of his hair had been successfully removed.

"By the way, don't you need to watch the shop?"

Wang Meng kept his head down the whole time, his voice muffled: "They said they were short one person, so they forced me... to do this."

Oh, I guess you've never played before.

Shen Mingchao expressed his understanding, sighed, and turned around to take out a pile of talismans from the house. They were left by Qi Qiu, who said they could ward off evil spirits.

This came in handy.

He stuck several stickers on his door and then slammed it shut.

Enough, please stop this farce.
