Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Listening to what Blackback Six said,

Sheng Shengman chuckled softly, "Sixth Master, doesn't this seem familiar?"

Rather, it's just that it's very familiar.

Black-backed Old Six raised an eyebrow slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

Even in slow, deliberate movements, there was no hesitation.

He explained directly: "This place is like a giant feng shui formation."

As the slave just said...

This place resembles a giant Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation.

Hear this,

Black-backed Old Six clapped his hands: "Yes, yes, the Eight Trigrams Formation!"

Most of the mechanisms in the tomb,

They were all arranged according to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and the waterway in front of us corresponds to the only way out.

But if you enter from other places...

Without a map, we would probably be trapped and die there.

Zhou Nanbei listened to their conversation.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then, according to what you say..."

There's a tomb down there, isn't there?

Upon hearing this, Black-backed Old Six's eyes lit up.

But then he shook his head slightly:

"Unlikely. I've also briefly looked at the information about Qiandao Lake."

It is a combination of human intervention and natural processes.

Before the reservoir was built, this place might not have had the feng shui layout it has today, therefore,

There is most likely no large tomb here.

After recalling the information, Sheng Sheng Man nodded slightly as well:

"Sixth Master is right."

There are no tombs here; otherwise, it would definitely be shown in the information Mr. Zhao gave us.

He paused for a moment and then spoke again:

Even if it exists, since the reservoir was built...

The contents inside are basically useless now.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly:

"That's true, back then it was still land."

As they were speaking,

The ship stopped at the shore of a huge island.

"Young Master Zhou, we've arrived."

Zhou Nanbei turned his head slightly and saw a huge, round island in front of him.

"So big?"

Sheng Shengman listened to Zhou Nanbei's voice and chuckled softly:

This island covers approximately 30 square kilometers (please forgive me), and if it were just for us to live on...

It is indeed very big.

But if it's used as a base of operations, to be honest, it's not that great. However, the good thing is...

There are many islands around.

Although it can't compare to the one in the center, it has the advantage in quantity.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly.

Looking at the two of them, he said, "Sister Man, Sixth Master, do you see that in the distance?"

"That mountain?"

The two nodded slightly, Zhou Nanbei's tone carrying a smile:

"Then let's have a competition."

Whoever gets there first gets to see the whole picture of our base camp.

He said "Wuhu".

"I'm going now."

With that, he leaped down and used his light-footed skill to fly inside.

Watching Zhou Nanbei's small figure disappear,

Slowly, he looked at the slave with the stick.

"Wait for us here."

He then looked at the black-backed sixth brother and said, "Sixth Master, I'll be going now."

As he spoke,

They also used their light-footed skills to disappear into the distance.

Black-backed Old Six smiled helplessly as he watched the two disappear:

"Bullying the elderly."

As he spoke,

He also leaped down and chased after the two.

.........

Fifteen minutes later,

Halfway up the mountain, the slow, melodious sound flew past Zhou Nanbei.

Then he left behind a sentence:

"Little Nanbei, keep it up!"

Before Zhou Nanbei could reply, Black-backed Old Six also flew past:

"Haha, Young Master Zhou,"

You've really gotten the short end of the stick because you're younger.

As Zhou Nanbei watched the two figures disappear, a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Look at my short legs,

Looking at the two who could take three steps in one while he could only manage one, he couldn't help but secretly complain.

"They really suffered because they were young."

It received so many negative reviews.

.........

Another incense stick burned.

Zhou Nanbei and his two companions stood atop the mountain, surveying the entire island.

Zhou Nanbei couldn't help but start making plans.

"Sister Man, look at the center of that island."

It was a plain bordering the mountains.

We'll hire someone to plan it out and build a house that's like a garden, and then we'll draw water from that stream over there.

It flows into it, forming a small lake.

Tsk tsk,

I'll raise some more koi, and feed them when I have free time.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Even Sheng Shengman couldn't help but be moved by Zhou Nanbei's words.

They were drawn in.

However, Black-backed Old Six thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Zhou,"

This life is wonderful, but don't think I'm being a spoilsport.

But with so many islands,

"It must have cost a lot of money to build, right?"

Sheng Shengman also came to her senses.

Just as he was about to look at Zhou Nanbei and say something, Zhou Nanbei stopped him.

"I've thought about this for a while now."

We'll start construction on this inner island, plus the surrounding islands. We currently have several billion yuan in our hands.

There is start-up capital available.

While it's wishful thinking to think I could fully establish it, I already have ideas for what's to come.

"We won't be short of money then."

Sheng Shengman was somewhat surprised, but didn't ask any further questions.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Little Nanbei,

So, does that mean we've decided to make this our base of operations?

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly:

"It's decided, this is the place."

The central island is specifically for me and some others.

The residences of the high-ranking officials under his command.

As for the others...

Look, these three islands around here will eventually be transformed into huge martial arts schools and training grounds.

Let these people stay here.

With three parties guarding us, we feel absolutely safe. We'll get someone to design the blueprints as soon as we get back.

Construction will begin immediately at that time.

He then looked at the black-backed sixth brother and said, "Sixth Master, once the blueprints are finalized..."

Bring over your group of swordsmen.

We can't let them cut corners.

This is our base camp.

Black-backed Old Six smiled: "Okay, this is fine."

But young master Zhou,

Once the central island is built, will there be a place for me, the sixth son, to stay?

Zhou Nanbei chuckled softly:

"Sixth Master, you're underestimating yourself by saying that."

You are the face of our military might.

The black-backed sixth brother's lips curled up slightly:

"Haha, then thank you very much, Young Master Zhou. Once it's built..."

My whole family moved here.

"Just want to live a peaceful, quiet life."

...............

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

May 22th, 10:00 AM.

A car was parked in front of the Crescent Hotel.

Sheng Shengman carried Zhou Nanbei out of the car.

Black-backed Lao Liu also got off the bus from the other side.

"Finally, I'm back."

As Sheng Sheng walked slowly, she looked down at Zhou Nanbei and couldn't help but smile.

"Little Nanbei, do you miss Sister Nanfeng that much?"

Zhou Nanbei's lips twitched:

"That's not it. I meant I miss the food at the Crescent Moon Hotel."

The "West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce" from Hangzhou,

Tsk tsk, I just don't understand how something so awful can become a famous dish, even though the name sounds nice.

But as for the taste...

It's simply indescribable...

Seeing the expression on Zhou Nanbei's face, Black-backed Old Six couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Thinking back to when I came back the day before yesterday,

Zhou Nanbei wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on ordering West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce for a while...

.........

As they spoke, the group entered the Crescent Moon Hotel.

Zhou Nanbei shouted:

"Sister Qinglian, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, and hot pot too."

Qinglian nodded in agreement.

He headed towards the kitchen, and at that moment Yin Nanfeng's voice came:

"Little Nanbei,

What's wrong with you?

Zhou Nanbei muttered speechlessly, "Sister Nanfeng,

You don't know,

That West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce…

Listening to Zhou Nanbei's complaints, Yin Nanfeng couldn't help but smile.

After all, she had been fooled before.

After chatting for a while,

Yin Nanfeng asked, "Little Nanbei,

Have you decided on a location for your base?

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "It's confirmed. We went to check it out in person."

That island in the middle is huge.

I'm planning to build a garden-style house and dig a small lake to raise some koi. Then my sister and I will live there.

Feed the fish every day.

"Slow Sister practices calligraphy; just thinking about it makes life so joyful."

Listening to Zhou Nanbei's words,

A hint of envy flashed in Yin Nanfeng's eyes, but before she could speak,

Zhou Nanbei then spoke:

"Sister Nanfeng, could you please find me a few architects?"

Let them go and investigate.

Then draw up a rough sketch for me.

Yin Nanfeng nodded slightly upon hearing this:

"That's a small matter."

However, there is indeed one famous architect.

It is called "Yangshi Lei".

I wonder if you've heard of Xiao Nanbei.
