Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.
Chapter 4, What exactly are the rules?
What legendary and mythical items are buried in the "General's Tomb of Ping'er Mountain"?
Su Mu, who was hiding in the group of poor people about to join Chen Yulou, was going through his memories of his past life.
[The old woman with the face of a rat]
The white ape that gained sentience
【Angry Sun Chicken】
Six-winged centipede
[The Corpse King of the Yuan Dynasty]
[The body of Guanshan Taibao after his death]
[Ascension Pill]
【…】
"In the original work, the Angry-Eyed Chicken is described as a descendant of the phoenix, but if it does not encounter the right opportunity, it can only ever reach the Angry-Eyed Phoenix state in its entire life."
"The six-winged centipede is different. This thing can continuously evolve over time, but it's absolutely uncontrollable. It's too ferocious. Will the system detect any strange effects from its demon core?"
"Guanshan Taibao passed away peacefully, achieving immortality through corpse liberation, leaving behind an 'Ascension Pill' in his abdomen. I wonder if the system will define it as a true 'Ascension Elixir'?"
"..."
Su Mu swept away the gloom of the past, his face beaming with smiles, filled with anticipation for the future.
Such a bright future should be the future for time travelers.
Under the bright moonlight, everyone in the ever-moving procession wore a smile, just like Su Mu.
Everyone was looking forward to this triumphant return, which would bring considerable income to impoverished families, perhaps even allowing them to escape poverty and leap into the city.
Even if it still can't compare to the behemoth that is the Nine Gates, it's still not bad to be on par with the wealthy merchants and bigwigs in the city.
"Among the Nine Gates, not everyone became a powerful figure who could turn the world upside down by relying on their own abilities."
"You're completely wrong! How many of the Nine Gates truly rose to prominence on their own merits? Only Third Master Half-Cut Li, Fifth Master Wu the Old Dog, and Sixth Master Wu the Old Dog. The rest all relied on their families."
"Yes! Of these people, I admire Third Master the most. He's disabled, yet he's managed to climb to such a high position."
"I think Fifth Master is not bad either. He comes from the same humble background as us. Even after gaining power, he hasn't forgotten his roots."
"Sixth Master doesn't care? He came all the way from the north to the south, and even established himself in Changsha, becoming one of the Nine Gates."
"If I manage to come back alive this time, I'll go and join them."
"Yes, it's better to be a handyman at their shop than to continue living a life of hardship and uncertainty."
"Hey buddy, what are your plans?"
The poor people chatted enthusiastically, their words filled with hopes for the future.
Someone casually asked Su Mu, the youngest boy in the crowd, a question.
Su Mu came to his senses and laughed, "If we can come back safely this time, how about we all start a faction together? Entering the Nine Gates now is like entering the country in 49... cough cough, entering the Nine Gates now, it's hard for us to have a chance to get ahead."
"Hey, isn't this Su Ye's kid? You're all better now?"
"Do you know him?"
"I know him! How could I not know him? He's Su Bozhong's son!"
"Ah, that sickly girl who keeps bringing the Huo family's young lady into our slums, cough cough."
"Young Master Su, since you know Miss Huo, why don't you tell me your thoughts on the Nine Gates?"
Someone in the crowd recognized Su Mu.
After all, Su Mu's appearance is somewhat similar to that of his deceased father; anyone familiar with Su's father could tell the difference at a glance.
Su Mu nodded: "From my conversations with Miss Huo, I know that the Nine Gates currently have no shortage of thugs and lackeys. After Buddha established himself in Changsha, he unified the Nine Gates, and the Nine Gates began to have rules..."
"Buddha's men don't want any commoners; he has his own faction."
"Second Master is Buddhist-like. The Hong family consists of the original Hong Master's group of people. Apart from his apprentice Chen Pi, no new people have joined in ten years."
"Third Master has an eccentric personality and only accepts disabled people."
"Fourth Master..."
"Fifth Master..."
Initially, everyone's understanding of the Nine Gates was only superficial, but after Su Mu spoke, they gradually gained more inside information.
Su Mu said that among the current members of the Nine Gates, only Dog Fifth Master, who is ranked fifth, still takes in new members; the others will not take in this group of poor people.
Even if they had experience participating in this great tomb and longed for the Nine Gates, it was of little use.
"So, it really is impossible for me to join the Nine Gates."
"Young Master Su, you want to start your own faction? Have you asked the Nine Gates yet?"
"Many forces have considered this idea, but they have all been either excluded by the Nine Gates or directly swallowed up. Does Young Master Su have any other solutions?"
"Young Master Su has the Huo family's backing; he must have his own plans!"
"I think Young Master Su will definitely become the Huo family's son-in-law someday! If Young Master Su doesn't mind, how about we treat you after you come back?"
"I know a little about appraising antiques!"
"I understand calligraphy and painting!"
"I know about porcelain!"
"I can fight!"
"I have some sales channels!"
"..."
Among this group of people who came out of the slums together, Su Mu's identity was the most unique.
After Su Mu suggested "establishing a power base," many people in the crowd immediately chimed in with similar sentiments.
After all, in their eyes, Su Mu was still the future son-in-law of the Huo family.
Through the ages.
Power and money are always controlled by powerful families.
Many of the members of the Nine Gates were not local aristocratic families in Changsha.
But nowadays, they have all become unattainable aristocratic and wealthy families.
The atmosphere in Changsha over the past two decades has been completely distorted by the Old Nine Gates; everyone wants to dig up one or two priceless antiques to hoard or sell directly.
Without the connection to the Nine Gates, even the most valuable antiques would be difficult to sell or trade.
Su Mu lowered his eyes: "Let's talk about it after everyone gets back. I was just mentioning it casually."
The tomb of a Yuan Dynasty general in Ping'er Mountain is not so easy to excavate.
The Unloading Ridge Warriors, who command 100,000 disciples, will suffer heavy losses this time, not to mention the group of inexperienced tomb raiders from Changsha around Su Mu.
"Since you've said it, let's all do it! Young Master Su, no, Master Su, it's a promise, when you come back, we'll all work with you to make a name for ourselves, hahahaha."
"What everyone said really got me excited! There's an old saying, 'Laughing loudly, I stride out the door; how could I possibly be a stranger to a worthy man!'"
"How can we, a man of such stature, be mere commoners! Hahaha, you illiterate scoundrel!"
"Who here isn't a scoundrel? Except for Master Su? What's so funny? Hahaha."
"..."
As Su Mu walked along with the poor people heading to Changsheng Mountain, his heart also began to burn with fervor.
What a bunch of lowly people.
What a bunch of unsavory characters.
He might not be unable to tear open the shadow of the Nine Gates over Changsha, allowing these people at the bottom of society to see the dazzling light that represents hope.
It seems that everything started to become interesting after the "Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill" was ingested.
With a smile on his lips, Su Mu continued walking forward, surrounded by the crowd.
