Chu Danqing was in a dilapidated temple, looking at the main quest with a slightly strange expression.

"The good news is that the talent missions do indeed overlap with the trial missions."

"The bad news is... what the hell is this about me going to rob tombs?"

"This is illegal and disorderly conduct; it'll get you jail time and forced to work on a sewing machine," Chu Danqing joked.

After choosing his identity, Chu Danqing's mind was filled with a jumble of feng shui knowledge, and he also learned about the situation of this trial world.

Similar to the warlord era of the Republic of China, airplanes and cannons had already taken center stage, and cold weapons had become obsolete.

It's more lethal, but it's also more expensive.

Minting silver coins required both technology and silver mines, so many warlords set their sights on the burial goods found in ancient tombs.

Driven by market demand, the four major schools of the Mountain Moving, Ridge Unloading, Gold Touching, and Mound Raiders have continued to prosper and expand.

"Being a full-time employee is really different. They provide more detailed information and actually give me knowledge." Chu Danqing felt that the amusement park's treatment was truly excellent.

The number of Paradise Points used remains the same, but the amount of things gained is greater, although this is partly due to the Paradise Points appreciating with his rank.

"But the problem is, I don't know how to use the feng shui knowledge you gave me at all," Chu Danqing said with a hint of helplessness.

Knowledge isn't something you can acquire simply by memorizing it.

But the amusement park doesn't care about any of that. Once Chu Danqing has paid, the amusement park will give you the treatment you're entitled to, and nothing else is the amusement park's business.

At this moment, Chu Danqing was in a dilapidated temple, with a pile of ashes in front of him, which were dry firewood that had been burned to ashes.

My gaze swept across the dilapidated temple, where a headless statue sat quietly on the altar.

Da Bao, however, kept his eyes fixed on the outside of the dilapidated temple, and a threatening warning came from his throat.

It was pouring rain outside, with flashes of thunder every now and then.

With a loud bang, and in the flash of lightning, Chu Danqing saw a blurry figure standing in the rain outside the temple.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing retreated behind Da Bao.

"What's going on?" Chu Danqing asked.

“Yes, a dead man,” Da Bao replied to Chu Danqing.

The next moment, a figure suddenly stood on the threshold of the dilapidated temple.

Only then did Chu Danqing get a clear look at its appearance. Its half-rotten skin was covered with maggots, making it look as if it had just been dug out of a grave.

Considering the worldview of this trial world, this is indeed a possibility.

"The male corpse doesn't seem to belong to a wealthy family, judging from the clothes." Chu Danqing noticed that the person was only wearing linen clothes.

"After death, one cannot swallow one's last breath, which is why one becomes a rotting corpse."

"The quickest solution is to break the evil energy in the chest."

Don't ask Chu Danqing how she knows these things; they're in the knowledge she received as a gift.

The knowledge of feng shui in this world is not just about feng shui, but also involves some very superstitious and dead matters.

"Da Bao, give him a slit in the throat," Chu Danqing ordered.

Da Bao suddenly rushed out, and the rotting corpse moved at the same time, though it seemed to be bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Instead of choosing Da Bao, she chose Chu Danqing.

It was just a little slow; Da Bao's claws pierced right through the corpse's throat.

A black, rotten stench instantly filled the air, engulfing the entire dilapidated temple in its foul odor.

At the same time, the rotting corpse turned into a pool of pus and collapsed, along with its bones.

Only clothes remained, mixed in with the rest.

Da Bao's expression changed, and he decisively ran behind Chu Danqing, burying his big head in the back of Chu Danqing's clothes to cover his nose.

"Ugh~ Stinky." As soon as Da Bao finished speaking, he vomited all over the floor.

Chu Danqing's eye twitched. Da Bao had strong senses and an even more sensitive sense of smell. He definitely wouldn't be able to withstand being choked by the stench.

"Big White, activate the shield." Chu Danqing sighed. The shield was indeed effective in blocking.

Big White poked out its two heads and immediately unleashed an area-of-effect healing attack. The combination of spiritual magic and Dao foundation created two layers of shields around Da Bao.

This finally calmed Da Bao down. "I need to find a way to train your perception," Chu Danqing muttered, having found another weakness in Da Bao.

Normal people can overcome it, but Da Bao's IQ is only that of a five-year-old, so it's a bit of a stretch. How much self-control can a five-year-old child who is nearly three meters tall have?

"Go rest over there for a bit, let me see what's wrong," Chu Danqing said to Da Bao, and began examining the pus.

He pulled out a talisman made from a pangolin claw from his clothes.

"A tomb raiding talisman? It's actually from a tomb raiding captain." Based on his knowledge of feng shui, Chu Danqing recognized that the talisman was not a fake, but rather from a tomb raider with a legitimate master.

However, the enemy suffered a crushing defeat here.

"Apart from that, there are no other clues." After saying that, Chu Danqing dealt with the pool of foul-smelling pus.

It was pouring rain outside, and he didn't plan to act immediately.

The main problem is that he doesn't know which way to go, and leaving rashly could easily lead to trouble.

The pus was washed away by the rain, and Chu Danqing used the Five Elements Spirit to clear away the stench in the dilapidated temple.

Da Bao then sat down with a pitiful expression and ate his snacks.

Since things have come to this, we can only eat snacks for now.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing didn't say anything, but after starting a fire, he opened the public chat channel.

It was quiet and deserted with hardly anyone talking, but you could still see the number of people.

This time, including him, there were 321 people. Because they chose different identities, they were placed in different locations.

Actually, this is good news; otherwise, conflicts would be inevitable if there were too many people.

After about fifteen minutes, the heavy rain gradually subsided and stopped, and the thunder also disappeared.

The weather remained gloomy and lifeless.

"Let's go out and check the situation," Chu Danqing said, getting up and summoning the beast-faced armored warriors.

The moment the armored soldiers and their warhorses appeared, they exuded an aura of killing intent.

This is the imposing aura amplified by the passive perception attribute.

After emerging, it slowly retracted under the control of the beast-faced armored warrior, returning to its original form.

"My lord." The beast-faced armored warrior bowed and greeted him after being summoned.

"Let's go. Don't ask me where we're going. Just follow the road," Chu Danqing said.

The feng shui knowledge was limited, and the identity information didn't tell him where to go; only some settings were provided.

You'll have to find out about the tasks yourself.

Once aboard the chariot, the armored charioteer drove it down the mountain along the road in front of the dilapidated temple.

The dilapidated temple was located on a mountain and appeared somewhat desolate.

Looking down from halfway up the mountain, you can see a small village.

Chu Danqing planned to go to this small village to gather some information first.

However, as they hurried along, a coffin blocked their path.

Judging from the marks, it seems to have been washed in from somewhere due to the heavy rain.

Chu Danqing narrowed his eyes: "First, there were tomb raiders, and then there was a coffin blocking the way."

"Let the vengeful ghost go and take a look." Chu Danqing saw that the coffin lid had disappeared, and he suspected that the thing inside the coffin had escaped.

From the shadows, a vengeful infant crawled out of the vengeful mother's arms, quickly flew towards the coffin, and then leaped into it.

About ten seconds later, the vengeful infant pulled out an embroidered shoe from it.

And the baby was talking in its own words that there was only this one shoe in the coffin.

"The coffin was already empty before it was washed here." Chu Danqing couldn't tell anything from it.

But if the logic is sound, the tomb raider might have been killed by this thing in the coffin, and then, unable to swallow his anger, turned into a rotting corpse.

“They must have gone down the mountain to the village.” As Chu Danqing spoke, he used his fire elemental spirit to burn the coffin to ashes.

As for the embroidered shoes, keep those.

Let's see if we can fish that thing out.

If it's strong enough, it could be another treasure chest.

As for the rotting corpses from before, if they were placed in the reserve level, they would definitely be worth a regular-level treasure chest.

But now it's Tier 1, and it no longer produces common-grade chests; the lowest grade is excellent-grade chests, so naturally there are no more drops.

"Dabao, can you smell it?" Chu Danqing asked.

"No, rinse it with water, it'll ruin the taste." Da Bao shook his head.

Firstly, this is not the initial scene of the incident, and secondly, there was a heavy rainstorm.

Da Bao's sense of smell is based on sensory attributes, not conceptual abilities, so it is naturally limited.

Perhaps he will be able to detect something once he reaches 30 points in his perception attribute.

"Okay, I understand." Chu Danqing didn't press the matter, and then put the embroidered shoes in her pocket.

It would be interesting if a hand or hair came out of the shoe.

Because next door was the imperial edict of the Son of Heaven, which contained not only the Son of Heaven but also ten burly Yellow Turban warriors.

Therefore, it's best to just wear a simple embroidered shoe, otherwise the consequences will definitely be dire.

Chu Danqing is a kind person, but none of his summoned creatures and allies are kind people.

"Let's go, down the mountain." After Chu Danqing finished speaking, the charioteer drove the vehicle down the mountain again.
