Life Had Been Humble, So Death Had to Be Lavish
"The Tomb Robbery Secret Technique, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?" Ma Feifei asked doubtfully, looking at the introduction in the Grave Robbers' Chronicles.
Although the name sounds mysterious, it simply teaches people how to rob tombs. Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo are mission characters selected by the system. Based on Ma Feifei's understanding of them over the past two days, it can be basically confirmed that they are professional tomb raiders. However, unlike ordinary tomb raiders, they not only raid tombs but also steal everything, covering a wide range of activities.
"Did you have any experience reading this book? For example, did it improve your tomb raiding skills?" Ma Feifei asked as he walked out, holding the Grave Robbers' Chronicles.
Lin Wuchi looked at the Grave Robbers' Chronicles in Ma Feifei's hand and replied, "It mainly talks about tomb raiding techniques, which have given us some inspiration, but without actual practice, we don't know if they are truly feasible."
"You mean we need to raid the tomb again to find out?" Ma Feifei asked.
Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo nodded.
Looking at the two of them, Ma Feifei suddenly remembered something and quickly returned to the system panel to find the system taskbar.
Fulfilling Book Lovers' Dreams.
Task Details: Help the following book lovers fulfill their dreams.
"I understand!" Ma Feifei looked at the system task details and realized that he had been trapped in a misconception all along. Whether Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo could enter the Grave Robbers' Chronicles was not important at all, nor was it important whether they could gain any benefits from Grave Robbers' Chronicles. What was truly important was their dream, and the key to Ma Feifei's task was to fulfill their dream!
Having figured this out, Ma Feifei breathed a sigh of relief, exited the system panel, sat in the rocking chair, looked at Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo, and suddenly said, "Why are you kneeling? Get up."
"Oh," Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo nodded repeatedly and stood up, but their bodies were still bowed.
"Where are you two from? Where do you live?" Ma Feifei asked with a concerned smile.
Ma Feifei's seemingly caring words didn't sound the same to Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo.
"Wu Chi, is the shop owner planning to raid our house and wipe out our entire family?" Li Beiguo's eyes darted around as he exchanged glances with Lin Wuchi.
"Isn't that a pointless question? Why ask where we live if we're not going to confiscate our property and exterminate our entire clan?" Lin Wuchi replied.
"What should we do? Should we tell the truth?" Li Beiguo was terrified, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
"If you want your family to be buried with you, just tell the truth!" Lin Wuchi rolled his eyes and replied.
"Then what should we say?" Li Beiguo asked.
"You should act according to the situation and follow my lead."
"Good!"
The two were constantly exchanging glances, which puzzled Ma Feifei. A wicked thought flashed through her mind: Could they be truly in love?
"Ugh!" Thinking of this, Ma Feifei felt uncomfortable all over and shrank back, wanting to get away from them.
At this moment, Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo finished their conversation. Lin Wuchi lowered his head and said, "Shopkeeper, we are actually not from the Chu Kingdom, we are from Yan State."
"Yan State?" Ma Feifei asked suspiciously, "Yan State is so far from the Chu Kingdom, how did you end up in the Chu Kingdom? Don't you have any tombs in Yan State for you to rob?"
Lin Wuchi chuckled and said sheepishly, "We didn't really want to leave our homes and come to the Chu Kingdom, but we were wanted by Yan State."
Lin Wuchi wasn't lying; Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo were indeed wanted in the Yan State.
"Wanted by the entire Yan State? What did you do?" Ma Feifei asked in surprise.
"They dug up the tomb of Grand Ancestor ..." Li Beiguo interjected from the side.
Ma Feifei was speechless; these two were indeed quite bold.
However, Ma Feifei only asked casually; where they lived wasn't Ma Feifei concern. Moving on from that topic, Ma Feifei continued, "How long have you been doing this?"
"It's been over twenty years," the two replied.
"How old are you?" Ma Feifei asked. The two men didn't look very old; they appeared to be in their early thirties.
"I'm forty-two, Li Beiguo is forty-five," Lin Wuchi replied.
Ma Feifei nodded. For cultivators like them with cultivation, someone who looked to be in their early thirties was considered quite old. Some cultivators at the Spirit Ancestor Sect level or above looked like twenty-year-olds even at fifty.
"Judging from your cultivation levels, you probably have no hope of breaking through to the Spirit Ancestor realm in this lifetime. Considering that, you're not young anymore. Are you just planning to continue like this? Don't you have any plans for the future? Or do you have any unfulfilled dreams?" Ma Feifei tried to steer the conversation to the key point.
"Dreams?" The two were taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words.
"What's wrong? Don't you even have dreams?" Ma Feifei asked.
Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo shook their heads.
"Salted fish!" Ma Feifei couldn't help but complain.
Damn it, they don't even have dreams! How are we supposed to complete this mission? The Fulfilling Book Lovers' Dreams to fulfill the dreams of our readers, but they don't have any dreams—doesn't that mean the mission is impossible to complete?!
"Actually, I think you should have a dream, think about it carefully," Ma Feifei kindly reminded him.
But Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo interpreted these words differently.
"Oh no, oh no, is the shop owner going to make us prepare for our funerals?" Li Beiguo's eyes were full of grievance, and tears were about to fall.
"Can't you act like a man? You're acting like a wronged little wife. I'm telling you what to do after you die, not that I'm asking you to die right now. What's the panic?" Although Lin Wuchi also quite scared, he remained relatively calm.
"What are you doing?" Ma Feifei asked, a little annoyed that the two of them were not speaking and were just making faces at each other.
Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo shook their heads repeatedly, saying, "We just heard the shop owner ask us what our dreams were, and we were just thinking about it."
"So you remembered?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.
"I remember now." Lin Wuchi said, taking out his spatial bag and rummaging through it for a while before pulling out a handkerchief. He held it in both hands and handed it to Ma Feifei, saying sincerely, "This handkerchief is the most precious thing I have. My only wish now is to be buried with this handkerchief after I die. I hope the shopkeeper will grant my wish."
Ma Feifei didn't understand.
At this moment, Li Beiguo also took out his spatial bag and said, "I also have a wish. This spatial bag contains burial goods that I have collected over the years. Some were stolen from the tombs of Saint, some from the tombs of kings, and some from the tombs of fairies..."
"You're going to give them all to me?" Ma Fei asked happily.
Li Beiguo shook his head, then took out another spatial bag with his right hand and said, "Shopkeeper, this spatial bag contains five million Spirit Crystal that I've saved up over the years. I can give you all of these, but I only hope you can grant me this small wish: to bury these funerary items with me! I, Li Beiguo, may not have been as glamorous as these people in life, but I will certainly be more luxurious than them in death!"
