My buildings have attributes

Not long after, they left the musician Huang Lin's place. To their relief, they didn't encounter any traps or daggers. However, upon reaching Huang Lin's door, they suddenly felt a power. This power came from an ancient legend.

Legend has it that whoever disturbs the Pharaoh's peace will die. This ancient legend is frightening not so much for the physical harm, but for the psychological damage it inflicts.

They felt the power of the legend. A tremor ran through them. The legend posed no immediate threat to them, but the psychological torment they faced was yet to come. They didn't know when the curse would take effect; it was like a ticking time bomb inside them.

"Boss, let's get out of here quickly. I'm starting to feel something's off about this place." At this point, Liu Yuyang began to get nervous.

As he spoke, he felt fear creep into his heart after sensing the power of the curse. He realized that this was the first time in so many years that he had felt fear.

For everyone, death is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is not knowing when you will die, and starting to worry about when you will die during the days you are alive.

"Damn it, what's going on? Why is this happening one after another? I'm getting fed up." Chen Ling couldn't help but swear.

When they first entered the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, the soldiers and horses were their first obstacle. Then, upon seeing Qin Shi Huang, they fought another battle against the soldiers and horses. After that, they fought again because of the hidden arrows, and then again because of the underground world of rivers, lakes, and seas, where they battled against mercury. Finally, they fought once more because of the quicksand tomb, and now, the curse has appeared. All these events, accumulated over time, are causing them to begin to break down.

The 100 death row inmates they brought in have long since perished in the tombs. Now, only he and Liu Yuyang remain. But after going through so much together, it's no wonder they can't help but complain.

"Boss, did we choose the wrong place this time?" At this moment, Liu Yuyang began to doubt their initial decision. His lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then he opened his mouth and closed it again.

“We didn’t choose the wrong place. The more dangerous the place, the more worthwhile it is for us to come.” Chen Ling was right. If the tomb they went to didn’t pose any challenge for them, then they would have gone for nothing. What use would it be? What they needed to do was to find clues in miracles like the musician Huang Lin.

After hearing Chen Ling's words, Liu Yuyang suddenly realized that he had been wrong. Indeed, they had visited two places before, but their gains hadn't been as great as today's. Thinking about this, Liu Yuyang felt much better. However, he was still worried about the curse. Knowing he was about to die, but not knowing when, was truly a headache.

"Boss, what do you think about this curse?" Liu Yuyang didn't finish his sentence. He wanted to ask something more, but he didn't know how.

After hearing Liu Yuyang's words, Chen Ling was utterly speechless. He simply said to Liu Yuyang, "Don't think about it too much right now. Let's go home first. We'll figure something out when we get back."

"Oh my god, is my brain working properly?" Liu Yuyang slapped his own head at this moment. He was extremely dissatisfied with his behavior today. He thought to himself that he didn't know what was wrong with him today; his imagination had been running wild. His behavior was really too abnormal.

Just then, they started walking back. However, their pace was much faster than when they came. They both wanted to leave this mysterious place as soon as possible, so their steps naturally quickened. Having inexplicably reached a consensus, they smiled at each other and, without saying a word, walked straight back.

They returned to the company shortly after. As soon as they entered the company gate, Liu Yuyang shouted, "I'm back!" His joy was palpable. Having escaped a close call, he was finally safe; how could he not be happy? A moment later, he entered the company gate. There, they found Boss Zhou already waiting for them. This was unexpected. Judging from Boss Zhou's expression, he seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Without time to think, they quickly went over to him.

Chapter 163 Preparations for Construction

"President Chen, you're back?" Leader Zhou asked as soon as he saw Chen Ling enter.

"Leader Zhou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Chen Ling also began to greet Leader Zhou.

"It's alright, what do you think of this awesome architecture?" At this moment, Leader Zhou got down to business.

Not long after Chen Ling left, Leader Zhou arrived at Chen Ling's company. Leader Zhou was eager to know the blueprints for building the third building; he cared a lot about this project.

Chen Ling noticed Zhou's anxious expression, and just then, Liu Yuyang's voice rang out, "Zhou, don't worry, let us have some water first! We've been in there for too long, we're dying of thirst." They were indeed thirsty when Liu Yuyang said this. In his mind, his own life was the most important thing! The simplest thing was to drink water when thirsty.

After Liu Yuyang finished speaking, Chen Ling glanced at him and felt that Liu Yuyang was deliberately trying to intimidate Leader Zhou. Chen Ling shook his head at Liu Yuyang and then went to get some water. He was indeed very thirsty after being inside the tomb for so long.

Before long, they sat down next to Leader Zhou, ready to have a proper discussion about the musician Huang Lin! And so... their long-winded introduction began...

"Leader Zhou, let me tell you, it's really eerie inside, absolutely incredible! You know, when we first entered the tomb, we saw tons of soldiers, ten in a row, shouting 'Great Qin is invincible!' and then they started attacking us. Then we went into the coffin of the musician Huang, thinking that was the end of it, but who knew there would be hidden arrows! Those hidden arrows were like a torrential rain. And that's not all, right after the hidden arrows, mercury started flowing. There were hundreds of tons of mercury inside! At the very back of the main hall, there was another underground world, with rivers, lakes, and seas made of mercury. After all that, you thought that was the end of it, right? We thought that was the end of it too, but when we got to the entrance of the main hall, suddenly quicksand tombs attacked us. After driving away the quicksand tombs, we thought we could finally go back, but who knew, who knew..." Liu Yuyang kept rambling on, but when he got to the part about the curse, he stopped. It was because everyone before him had successfully passed through the trials! He just didn't know if this curse was real or fake, or what the situation was.

Meanwhile, Leader Zhou, who was listening in disbelief to Liu Yuyang's account of the tomb, thought it was truly impressive. "Why did you stop? What else is there? I was really enjoying it!" Leader Zhou asked hastily as soon as Liu Yuyang stopped. He felt that choosing the musician Huang Lin was the right decision. He was just waiting to build a structure even more impressive than Huang Lin's, which would surely attract even more attention from the world!

In truth, when they decided to harm the musician Huang Lin, they all knew that their exploration would damage him. Even though they performed a blood sacrifice for Huang Lin, it was merely a gesture of respect and compensation, not an attempt to undo the harm done to him. Many cultural relics and historical sites were destroyed because of their exploration; all they could do was build even more magnificent structures to repair them.

Just then, Chen Ling continued Liu Yuyang's words, "At the very end, we felt a power, which came from the legend of the musician Huang Lin. It's said that disturbing our ancestors would lead to a curse that we would die a horrible death. But it's alright, we came back safe and sound, it's nothing." Chen Ling said casually, though he himself was uncertain. He just wanted to discuss the new building issue quickly, and he could ask the system for the rest.

Then they heard Leader Zhou's voice: "The higher-ups are planning to place the third building in the East City. When do you plan to start construction?" After hearing Leader Zhou's words, Chen Ling couldn't wait any longer. He also wanted to build an awesome building, and this was a great opportunity. They were determined to show off their skills! Perhaps they would even become a great figure in history.

At that moment, Chen Ling already had a blueprint in his mind. He planned to build an even more awesome building, an idea he had long awaited. Finally, the opportunity had arrived. So he said to Leader Zhou, "Leader Zhou, rest assured, leave it to me! I'll definitely satisfy you." After hearing Chen Ling's words, Leader Zhou felt that he hadn't even expressed his opinion yet, and Chen Ling was implying that he wasn't needed. So, Leader Zhou said with dissatisfaction, "Don't you need the help of the 'pot rack' anymore?"

Leader Zhou had misjudged Chen Ling's intentions. Chen Ling meant to reassure Leader Zhou about the construction, but Liu Yuyang laughed upon hearing this and said, "Leader Zhou, you've misunderstood my boss. He meant to reassure you about the project. Of course, I need Guogai's help." Leader Zhou nodded in response. He didn't bother to explain further and didn't want to say another word.

At this moment, Chen Ling said to Leader Zhou, "We'll be starting construction soon. We'll come to you if needed. I have other things to do, so I'll have to go now." Chen Ling said impatiently. It was a classic case of "when two people don't see eye to eye, a word is enough."

Leader Zhou knew that Chen Ling was telling him to leave, so he got up and left.

Tap tap tap... Leader Zhou walked away.

After Leader Zhou had walked away, Chen Ling began to call the system. He had too many questions in his mind and wanted to ask the system what was going on.

"Don't worry about the curse. It will all disappear after the third building is constructed." The system immediately reported the curse they encountered in the imperial tomb. Their efficiency is truly impressive.

Just then, Chen Ling spoke to the system again: "We're getting ready to start construction in the East District."

After saying all that, Chen Ling decided to go back and take a nap; he was exhausted after a long day. So he drove his Bentley home.

The journey was smooth, and Chen Ling arrived home in no time. It was already quite late, and although his stomach was rumbling, he was too lazy to eat. All he wanted to do was lie down on his comfortable bed and get a good night's sleep. He wanted to reward himself for his hard work with sleep, and Chen Ling couldn't help but sigh that being home felt the best. So, upon arriving home, Chen Ling went straight to his bedroom. He was simply too exhausted; he collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep instantly…

Chapter 164 Construction Begins

The next morning, Chen Ling was still asleep when he received a call from his younger sister, Chen Xiaoqi. "Brother, my TV series is wrapping up today, come over!" Chen Xiaoqi's voice on the other end of the line was filled with joy... This was Chen Xiaoqi's first TV series. For her, today was a special occasion.

"Ah, so sleepy." Chen Ling, who had slept all night, still felt like he hadn't rested well. His first thought was not to get up and to sleep for the rest of his life. But he couldn't help it; this was an important moment for his sister, and how could he refuse her?

"Okay, I'll be right there," Chen Ling said again, and Chen Xiaoqi on the other end of the phone jumped up happily.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ling got up. He had originally planned to rest a bit more today and start working tonight! Well, never mind, he'd start tomorrow. It'll all be quick anyway.

After getting ready, Chen Ling went to see Chen Xiaoqi...

When Chen Ling arrived on set, Chen Xiaoqi was still filming the final take. It was over shortly afterward.

"Here, this is for you." At this moment, Chen Ling handed the flowers in his hand to Chen Xiaoqi.

After accepting the flowers from Chen Ling, Chen Xiaoqi pulled Chen Ling aside and said, "Brother, there's a ceremony later, come with me!"

Chen Ling patted Chen Xiaoqi's head affectionately and said to her, "Okay."

Not long after, the ceremony began. Chen Ling accompanied Chen Xiaoqi to the event. The director spotted Chen Ling from a distance and quickly came over to greet him. Chen Ling's name had become quite famous because of what happened at his sister's theater. So, upon seeing him, the director also began to fawn over him.

"Mr. Chen, you're here!" the director said to Chen Ling as he walked in.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the director, they went inside together.

Chen Ling was exhausted from constantly exchanging pleasantries and pleasantries with others inside. Fortunately, the wrap-up ceremony ended not long afterward. Then, Chen Ling said, "Let's go, I'll take you out for another meal." With that, Chen Ling led Chen Xiaoqi away, wanting to escape this place as quickly as possible.

The two went to a hot pot restaurant and started eating! The meal was eaten quickly, as Chen Xiaoqi had other scenes to film. Although they kept chatting while eating, they didn't slow down their eating speed at all.

Not long after, the two parted ways. Chen Xiaoqi was busy with her business, while Chen Ling prepared for the construction project.

After dinner, Chen Ling planned to talk to Leader Zhou about the project.

clack clack...

"Oh, Mr. Chen, what brings you here?" Leader Zhou said upon seeing Chen Ling.

"I've come to tell you about the construction. We're preparing to start construction tomorrow!" Chen Ling said calmly.

Next, the two of them began to discuss the construction. Guojia wanted a building that would be even more eye-catching than the imperial mausoleum, and would have a greater impact on the world. This was in line with Chen Ling's idea. In terms of location, Guojia chose the East District. There was a suitable piece of land in the East District that many people coveted. Leader Zhou had been reluctant to give it to anyone else. This time, it finally came in handy. After discussing all the ideas for the building and the problems that might arise, Chen Ling was about to begin construction.

After leaving Leader Zhou's place, Chen Ling suddenly thought of Li Lili in the car, but only for a moment before shaking his head.

Not long after, Chen Ling arrived home. He didn't contact Liu Yuyang or the others that day, nor did he go to the company. He spent the day quietly, waiting for work to start the next day.

Chen Ling got up very early and arrived at the company early. After explaining the work to the company staff, he took Liu Yuyang and Chen Mengyao to the East District.

The East District was quite far from them, a journey that would take some time. In the car, they started talking about the architectural plans, discussing what they were about to do, which might change their fate. At the very least, once completed, their company's reputation would definitely rise, and their company's stock would certainly rise as well...

As they planned out the company's future, they couldn't help but feel happy...

And so, they walked forward, imagining the company's future plans. Talking like this, time flew by, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the project site.

After they got out of the car, I looked around. I couldn't help but exclaim, "What a wonderful place!" The area they had arrived at was clearly visible, with no buildings nearby. The air quality was also exceptionally good. Chen Mengyao couldn't help but say, "Things from the pot stand are really good!"

After hearing Chen Mengyao's words, Chen Ling and Liu Yuyang agreed that she was absolutely right. The land in front of them was indeed incredibly valuable, making it the perfect location for building a third structure.

"Alright, begin construction. System, start building the fence." Chen Ling began issuing orders.

Just then, the system generated fifty robots and began building the fence.

Chen Ling realized that this project must be quite large, so they needed to slow down their pace. After all, they were working for the pot rack project, and they didn't want to accidentally cause any trouble for themselves.

So he only upgraded the system to fifty robots. The fence could have been built that very night, but Chen Ling chose to take three days, deliberately slowing down the process, just so he wouldn't be too conspicuous and arouse suspicion.

Chen Ling thought to himself, "What kind of days are these? I clearly have the ability to do this well, but I still have to hide."

However, Chen Ling's approach was indeed beneficial to the company. Their previous projects had already been quite high-profile, and now with this large project involving pot racks, further ostentation would inevitably attract trouble. Chen Ling was someone who hated trouble the most.

Chen Ling chose the all-around engineering robot again this time. After all, it was for the pot rack, something he had been looking forward to for a long time. So everything had to be the best.

The 3 million yuan advance payment for the project given by Leader Zhou was more than enough for Chen Ling to use.

As usual, Chen Ling opened the system and redeemed another set of large-scale construction equipment. This equipment fenced off the entire huge plot of land. During construction, it could also transport materials such as cement and steel bars up there. The speed was still very fast, and it also had the function of quickly separating cement.

Chapter 165 Constructing the Third Building

This device is even more dazzling than before. Although it still looks round like usual and its functions are similar, its striking feature lies in its changed appearance; this time, it looks much more high-end and sophisticated.

Chen Ling couldn't help but complain. With these devices and robots, they could have achieved twice the results with half the effort, but because they wanted to avoid attracting attention, they kept slowing down. Chen Ling found it really disheartening.

At this moment, Chen Ling said to them, "Let the robots do all these things. Let's rest for a bit!"

Just then, Chen Ling and his group started walking towards the vehicle. Once inside, they watched the robots work, observing their ceaseless operation. They truly felt that these robots were moving much faster than humans. Most importantly, no one knew they weren't real people. It was truly astonishing how wondrous the world is.

After spending some time at the construction site, they got bored and decided to head back, leaving the work to the robots without worry.

There was a system in place to monitor them, and they didn't reappear until the fence was built.

Upon arriving at the construction site, they saw that the fence had been completed and was now in a very good condition. The fence was sky blue, and they were quite satisfied with it even from a distance!

With the fence in place, the important part began. Construction on the third building officially commenced!

"System, exchange for five high-quality engineering and construction teams!" Chen Ling opened the system and exchanged for the robots.

Each construction team this time still includes ten all-around engineering construction robots. Compared to the ones used for building fences, these are an evolution, because they all have identification cards, so no one will find out if someone investigates! However, the cost is also much higher.

"The redemption of five high-quality engineering construction teams has been completed, and 500 million has been deducted." The system is very efficient and got things done immediately.

However, it was time for these construction teams to take center stage. Chen Ling had already incorporated new ideas into the system, so he wasn't worried that the construction wouldn't be as good as he had envisioned. On the contrary, he knew that with the vision of the musician Huang Lin, their next construction would be even more amazing!

"Let each team do their job and get to work!" After making the arrangements, Chen Ling returned to his car to rest. Not long after, he became sleepy and drove home.

Thus, while constructing the third building, Chen Ling and his team did not go to the construction site to keep an eye on things as usual, but they kept monitoring the situation through the system.

This continued for a while, until Zhou, the leader, suddenly called and said, "Mr. Chen, I'd like to visit the construction site today. Is it convenient for you?" Chen Ling answered the phone and readily agreed. Chen Ling had known this day would come, and it had come later than he expected. He felt that, judging from Zhou's way of doing things, he should have suggested visiting the construction site much earlier.

Everything at the construction site was normal, and the construction speed was deliberately slowed down, so there was no sign of anything amiss, and there was no fear of anyone going to take a look.

At this point, Chen Ling began to rush Chen Mengyao to the construction site...

When Chen Ling arrived, he found that Leader Zhou had already arrived, and he saw Leader Zhou and his men watching from a distance.
