Fatty Finally Joins

Yang Xueli looked at Fatty expectantly. If this Mr. Fatty was also a person with profound skills, then she would have met three experts. With their help, why would she be afraid of not finding the secret of the Ghost Eye Curse? As long as Fatty had the ability, she wouldn't mind paying an extra tens of thousands of US dollars.

Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Fatty felt like a thousand horses were trampling through his heart, almost exploding.

"My brother is good with a gun."

Hu Bayi quickly said, seeing that Shirley Yang was testing Fatty.

He knew Fatty didn't understand Feng Shui, nor did he have any other skills. The only thing he could show off was his marksmanship. It was just that he didn't know Shirley Yang disdained marksmanship the most.

When it came to marksmanship, who here dared to compare with her!

"Marksmanship, we don't need it!" Fatty was about to brag about how amazing his marksmanship was, but Yang Xueli's words completely shut him up.

They said they didn't need someone good with a gun, so bragging about your marksmanship would be pointless.

Seeing Fatty like that, Yang Xueli clearly knew he didn't possess any profound skills. She was instantly disappointed and turned to look at Hu Bayi and Hu Ming, saying, "I'm sorry, your friend has no special skills and doesn't meet our requirements."

"If we don't go, we don't go. Who cares?" Fatty snorted coldly and then said unhappily, "Even if you begged me, Master Fatty wouldn't go."

Speaking of which, he looked at his two brothers, "Old Hu, Mingzi, you guys go. I'll wait for your return."

"Miss Yang, my brother is agile and brave. The desert is full of dangers. He can protect us and clear the way for us. We need such a talented person!"

Hu Bayi said seriously to Shirley Yang. The meaning was very clear: they three brothers would not be separated. Either take all three of them, or none of them would go with you.

Shirley Yang frowned slightly and pondered. She was ready to agree to let Fatty go along, thinking he could at least be an extra burden.

"Fatty, take out your spoils of war from suppressing bandits in the Western Regions and show them how skilled your marksmanship is," Hu Ming said, taking a sip of tea and smiling faintly. It was his word that decided who would go.

Spoils of war? Fatty thought for a moment. When did I go to suppress bandits in the Western Regions? Spoils of war?

Huh!?

It's my family's heirloom jade pendant. Fatty chuckled. Fine, let you underestimate me.

Taking off the Jade Pendant from his neck, Fatty held this seven-sided precious jade and moved it in front of Yang Xueli and Professor Chen. "See? This jade is my spoils of war from suppressing bandits in the Western Regions. Back then, I, holding a Type 38 rifle in one hand, fought over 300 bandits. The scene was incredibly tragic. I was firing and charging forward, and with one hand, I was holding a bugle, blowing the drum of attack..."

Hu Bayi felt ashamed for Fatty, and Hu Ming held his forehead. But they saw Yang Xueli and Professor Chen staring intently at the jade pendant in Fatty's hand. Wherever the jade pendant went, they looked.

"Little Fatty comrade, where did you get this jade?" Fatty, who was bragging, was interrupted by Professor Chen. Forget it, you weren't even listening to what Master Fatty said.

"Master Fatty already said it, it's the spoils of war I captured from fighting bandits. Back then, I fought bloody battles..."

Hao Aiguo, standing nearby, couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Fatty again. "Little Fatty comrade, may I ask what year you were born? I remember the bandits in the Western Regions were from thirty years ago. You, Little Fatty comrade, weren't even born then, were you?"

Uh! Fatty was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Hu Ming couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, suppressing a smile.

However, Hao Aiguo didn't argue with Fatty for long because he saw the strange expressions on Professor Chen and Shirley Yang's faces. He stared at the jade. The seven-sided jade pendant had a small square hole in the middle. Fatty had threaded a small red string through the hole, and the red string was covered in dirt.

It was obvious that Fatty hadn't washed the red string for a long time. The front of the jade pendant was carved with exquisite patterns, mixed with many bloodstains. The four sides of the small hole were carved with ancient symbols that looked like characters but weren't. But upon closer inspection, they seemed like characters?

What they were, no one knew. Fatty saw that they were all staring at his jade pendant and felt even more proud. He turned the jade pendant over to the back.

The back was carved with a miniature ancient city. The craftsmanship was extremely exquisite. Although the ancient city was carved on a 4-centimeter jade, its magnificent aura was soul-stirring.

Professor Chen trembled, his lips quivering as he looked at Shirley Yang. His slightly cloudy eyes lit up.

Yang Xueli wasn't much better. Her pretty face was filled with shock, and her breathing became uneven. She took a deep breath, nodded slightly at Professor Chen, and said to Fatty, "Mr. Wang, I am willing to pay a high price for this jade. Just name your price."

"Not selling," Fatty refused without thinking. "Hey, I'd rather give it to my brother or throw it into the river than sell it to you. Goodbye, Master Fatty needs to go home."

"Ah, Little Fatty comrade, please wait," Professor Chen grabbed Fatty, holding him tightly. He wouldn't let Fatty leave, saying with a pleading look, "Can you lend us the jade pendant to look at?"

"Okay, just don't break it." Professor Chen took the jade pendant and walked aside with Shirley Yang. They carefully examined the ancient city on the back of the jade pendant with a magnifying glass, and then looked at the text on the front. After more than ten minutes, the two returned.

As soon as she returned, Yang Xueli smiled politely at Fatty. "Mr. Fatty, Mr. Wang and Mr. Hu are experts in Feng Shui. However, you are good with a gun and have suppressed bandits. We are hiring you as our protector to join the archaeological team. The reward is 30,000 US dollars, and it will be doubled if we find the Jingjue Ancient City. What do you say?"

What? Fatty couldn't believe his ears. They agreed to let him go to the Jingjue Ancient City? And offered a reward of 30,000 US dollars. Although it was less than what Hu Bayi and the others were offered, Fatty knew his own worth.

At this moment, Hu Ming shook his head and said, "Miss Yang, the price is too low."

Hearing this, Yang Xueli raised her eyebrows and asked, "Does Mr. Wang have any special skills, like you guys?"

Hu Ming replied, "Although Fatty doesn't know any Feng Shui techniques, whether we can enter the Jingjue Ancient City depends on Fatty's heirloom. Without this thing, we won't be able to enter even if we find the Jingjue Ancient City."

Professor Chen and Yang Xueli and the others were all shocked and said, "Are you saying Mr. Wang's jade pendant is the key to opening the Jingjue Ancient City?"

Hu Ming nodded and continued, "Not only that, Fatty's skills and marksmanship are also good. With three young people and two professors in our team, it will be difficult with just me and Old Hu. Moreover, there are many animals like wolves and snakes in the desert."

Hearing this, Yang Xueli nodded and said, "Then, Mr. Wang, how about you join us like Mr. Hu?"

Fatty pretended to think for a moment and then said, "Alright, I'll reluctantly go with you guys."

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at him upon hearing this.
