Chapter 320 Li Ji Becomes a Member of the Archaeological Team (Outrageous yet Reasonable, You Can't Miss It)

His Highness the Crown Prince tightened his black robe.

"Li Ji, you're underestimating Awang. Does his love of money negate his professionalism?"

Lee Ki was a little confused by the question.

He suddenly thought of the saying "Rat 30,000": people who love making money are not necessarily not professionals.

"You mean he appears to be an unlicensed tour guide, but is actually a real expert?"

“That’s right. You mentioned going to the base of the Sphinx. Look over there.”

Li Ji looked in the direction the Crown Prince was pointing. Underneath the towering Sphinx, a large open area was enclosed by a fence, preventing tourists from getting close to the Sphinx.

“Ordinary people don’t have permission to go to that area, but Awang promised to take us to the base of the Sphinx.”

Li Ji looked at the slightly chubby, dark-skinned middle-aged man. A few curly hairs were visible through the shirt bulging out by his small belly, and there were still oil stains from noon on the collar.

As the saying goes, "Those who accomplish great things do not concern themselves with trifles."

"But isn't he a bit too unconventional?"

Li Ji still found it hard to convince himself to believe this person; maybe what he meant by "going down" was just taking a picture under the Sphinx.

Ten minutes later, when they were standing 30 meters away from the Sphinx, their guide Awang told them they could take pictures.

Li Ji then made his decision.

This guy is just an ordinary tour guide!
There are still 30 meters between here and the Sphinx!
Li Ji had no expectations of this guy anymore. He was waiting to finish the sightseeing tour before entering the underground tunnel using his own method.

Anata's research team has been granted permission to enter the underground tunnels, and she only needs to disguise herself as their entourage or a staff member from the cultural department.

Now, experience the culture and customs of Egypt.

Nini looked at the Sphinx and felt like she was looking at a statue of her own pet.

"Is this the Pharaoh's pet?"

Awang was completely bewildered. He had heard that white people in Europe and America advocated happy education, but surely he hadn't seen anything like the Sphinx and believed that it actually existed?

"No, no, no, this statue dates back to the time of Pharaoh Khafre. It depicts the face of the Pharaoh."

"So a pet became a pharaoh?"

Awang frowned: "Madam, I would like to clarify that there is no Sphinx in this world. After the pyramids were completed, there was a huge stone left over. The craftsmen designed it to resemble the body of a lion and the face of the pharaoh. The pharaoh was very pleased with it."

Nini rolled her eyes. "Foolish human, you know nothing about this world, but it doesn't matter, I've figured everything out. This isn't the Pharaoh's face; this statue was made for someone's pet. I'm more interested in what's down in the tunnel now."

Ah Wang muttered, looking bewildered, "White women these days are even more arrogant than before."

-

Ananta sat in the taxi, her attire seemingly out of season compared to the white female tourists outside the window.

In the face of the hot weather, everyone was dressed lightly, but she was wearing long pants and long sleeves, covering her body completely like a local woman.

She tightened her sleeves to prevent the red Ultraman uniform underneath from showing.

Although I was wrapped up tightly, I didn't feel stuffy at all; on the contrary, I felt very comfortable.

She looked out the window, her brows furrowed behind her sunglasses.

“Darling, I’m still a little worried. Are we really going to resurrect my ancestors? I’m still not quite ready.”

Ultraman Belial sat slumped in the car seat next to him, leisurely playing with his fingers.

"What are you going to prepare? Reunite with your ancestors? Don't worry, your ancestors are already in a quantum state, and even if they were resurrected, they wouldn't have any independent consciousness. Just imagine the scene of mummies running rampant in the streets, how wonderful that would be."

"Are we really doing the right thing?"

Do you remember what your father told you when you were little?

As if under a spell, Anasta suddenly sat up straight and said with utmost seriousness, "I remember: family comes first."

"This is my good girl."

The driver caught a glimpse of Ultraman chatting away in the rearview mirror. An image of Ultraman battling a mummy flashed through his mind.

He muttered, "It's definitely a bad movie."

As dusk fell, the once brilliant sky slowly turned into a somber gray-blue.

The shape of a pyramid gradually appeared in the distance.

"We're almost there. The Sphinx. I'm also meeting all the members of the archaeological team for the first time, so I'm a little nervous."

“I don’t care who they are, as long as I can get down here.” Beria scratched his thigh. “Why does this thing always itch? If I cut it off, are there any alternatives?”

"I went through a lot of trouble to get a spot on the expedition team. Just say you're my student and don't act too strange."

Belial seemed not to hear him. He leaned half his body out of the car window and waved excitedly, "Goodnight, Earth!"

-

Li Ji calculated the time; Ananta's archaeological team would be arriving soon.

He patted the Crown Prince on the shoulder, who was engrossed in taking pictures.

“Teacher, we need to find a way to get under the Sphinx. I know a scientific expedition team will be arriving soon, and my plan is to replace some of them.”

"No need for that trouble, Awang has taken care of everything for us."

His Highness pointed his phone at the distant sand dunes, which looked exceptionally beautiful under the moonlight.

Li Ji was truly impressed by His Highness the Crown Prince. He was the one who was so determined to defeat the professors before, and now he was acting as if nothing had happened.

In the end, only he was left to worry about everything.

"That tour guide can't even get into the fenced area, how could he possibly help us get under the Sphinx?"

At this moment, Awang walked over and handed Li Ji a thick stack of file folders.

"what is this?"

"Your identity information."

"what?"

Li Ji opened the file folder, which contained many strange documents.

He took out a card first and used the moonlight to see what it looked like.

It has their own photo and name printed on it, with a note next to it.

[Position: Professor of History, Tsinghua University]

Li Ji opened the thick stack of documents with a puzzled look. The documents contained all the achievements he had made during his tenure at Qingniao University.

"28 overseas exchange visits? 116 papers in top-tier journals? Honorary doctorates from thirteen European and American universities?"

Li Ji quickly went to look at the information about Shark Treasure.

[Identity: PhD in Geology from Cairo University]

That stack of documents was even more perplexing.

"A Rwandan prodigy, the youngest geology PhD in the history of Cairo University, graduated at the age of 11 and is expected to become a geology expert of historical significance in Africa."

Shark Baby grinned foolishly: "That sounds amazing."

"It has transcended the realm of being powerful and entered an absurd realm."

Li Ji then checked everyone's information cards.

Delurou is a renowned French documentary director who has participated in the filming of over 300 documentaries exploring ancient civilizations and has won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Nini is a historian at the University of Cambridge, specializing in ancient Egyptian studies, and previously worked as a mummy guide at the British Museum.

"This tour guide is just spouting nonsense! We can't expect to get into the expedition team with this stack of fake documents, can we?"
