by MarineTLChapter 171: After the Wealthy Lady Went Bankrupt – 14
Ren Xin’s livestream was still running, letting everyone watch the spectacle. As soon as Mo Qiuyang spoke, the chat exploded. Viewers showered Ren Xin with gifts, begging her not to end the stream because they wanted to see what happened next.
Ren Xin thought everyone was being quite boring. What was so interesting about a coffin?
Book Spirit Number One agreed: “Exactly. It’s not even as entertaining as watching Shen Shen make a fool of herself!”
“Where’s Huhu? Why hasn’t she been online lately?”
“Who knows? We’re just netizens who happened to cross paths. Why would I care if she’s dead or alive?”
Ren Xin: “…”
Mo Qiuyang had already been surrounded by the professors. they were relentlessly questioning him, asking what specific discoveries he had made.
Ren Xin wasn’t exactly a dedicated student, nor was she interested in listening to long, tedious historical lectures, so she began wandering around aimlessly.
Zhan Tian leaned in close and whispered, “Sister Ren, do you think I’ll strike it rich in the future? Or do you have any talismans that could make me wealthy?”
【If those exist, I need one too!】
【Who wouldn’t want that? Look at me, streamer, look at me!】
【I just want to ask if I can trade my ex-boyfriend’s life for it?】
【Just an ex-boyfriend? Then I’m going all in!】
【………】
Ren Xin shook her head. “Stop dreaming. If I had something like that, I would have used it on myself already. Why would I be suffering out here? Look at this place: no funerary goods, just a place where slaves lived, yet everyone is studying it for so long. It’s so dull.”
Ren Xin’s words brought the ongoing discussions to a sudden halt.
The professors asked, “Miss Ren, how do you know that slaves lived here?”
Ren Xin, adopting a “dead pig doesn’t fear boiling water1” attitude, replied, “I guessed!”
Mo Qiuyang looked at Ren Xin with a profound gaze, only to be met with a fierce glare from her. Whoosh, whoosh—I curse you!
The professors weren’t about to let her off the hook. Left with no choice, Ren Xin started making things up. “The snakes told me.”
Everyone remained skeptical, but what could they do? Find a snake to debunk her story?
The professors didn’t give up and continued, “Then could Miss Ren ask those snakes again?”
In truth, saying such things was difficult for these professors who believed in science. However, they had witnessed Ren Xin’s abilities repeatedly throughout the journey, and strange occurrences did happen occasionally during archaeological digs. For the moment, they were surprisingly accepting of the idea.
Ren Xin said regretfully, “That’s a real shame. They said they were going on a long voyage, and their return date is uncertain!”
【I believe her. Does believing make my chances of winning the giveaway higher?】
【I believe her too. Mostly because I don’t want to see a swarm of dancing snakes ever again.】
【As someone terrified of mollusks and reptiles, I declare this to be the absolute truth.】
The professors could see that Ren Xin was unwilling, so they considered dropping it. However, the students they had brought along weren’t as patient.
They immediately began to morally kidnap2 Ren Xin. A tall boy wearing glasses looked at her with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
“How can you stand by and do nothing? How can you face your country? If this is a Tomb Cluster3, it would be a major discovery. Do you know how important this is for human civilization? Since you know some… unorthodox methods and can help us, shouldn’t you feel honored? How can a person be so selfish!”
Ren Xin arched an eyebrow. “And what does human civilization have to do with me? You’re here digging up someone’s grave. Don’t tell me it’s for ‘ideals’ or ‘passion,’ or some nonsense about ‘human civilization.’ Don’t make me laugh. Aren’t you just doing this for your thesis, so you can get a good job after graduation and ideally gain both fame and fortune? So, how are you facing your country?”
【Well said! I hate moral kidnapping the most. The streamer’s counter-attack was brilliant!】
【Exactly. Just because I have ability, does that mean I must help? That makes no sense. It’s like saying just because I have money, I must spend it on you?】
【But the streamer clearly has the power. What’s wrong with helping out? Can’t she have a little spirit of self-sacrifice?】
【Hmph, how ridiculous. She thinks she’s some grandmaster just because she knows a few parlor tricks…】
