You said you failed your college entrance exam and are now crowdfunding to build a university?

The four provinces, which were often ridiculed for their scarce educational resources, have suddenly become the enviable "hot commodities".

Aside from the fact that it currently lacks a campus and faculty, Haichuan University has become a dream school for many.

In Linshan County, nestled among the mountains, at a construction site.

"Ding-dong!"

"Ding-dong!"

Wei Ying was live-streaming when his phone suddenly started vibrating incessantly, sending several text message notifications per second. Within minutes, the phone's memory was running low, and it almost crashed.

"What's going on?" Wei Ying was taken aback, thinking his phone had been infected with a virus. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was full of bank payment notifications.

Just now, his bank card received millions of dollars in transfers, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down.

An hour later, the account balance increased by 100 million out of thin air.

"The netizens are amazing!" Wei Ying couldn't help but exclaim after figuring out the situation. This is the cohesion that has been passed down in the blood of this nation for thousands of years.

Upon learning that he was indeed building a school, not only compatriots from the four provinces, but also people from other provinces extended a helping hand, setting off a donation frenzy.

"Ding! The host's [January School Construction] mission has made phased progress, with a completion rate of 20%. Reward: 1000 challenge points."

"Current task time remaining: 25 days."

The system notification sounded at the right time. His challenge points balance also jumped from 520 to 1520.

It seems that buying the land and officially starting construction has taken a big step forward in the project. However, there is still a long way to go before it is 100% complete.

One kilometer away from the construction site, a black van was parked on the side of the road.

Zhou Zheng and several police officers kept an eye on the progress of the construction site, paying close attention to Wei Ying's every move, their expressions very complicated.

At this moment, Wei Ying, wearing a safety helmet, moved between construction sites, seemingly directing the work. Various construction machines roared, creating a bustling scene.

"Deputy Director, how should this case be classified now?" The deputy looked at Zhou Zheng and couldn't help but ask.

Judging from all the current indications, Wei Ying has not misappropriated the funds after raising them, nor has he absconded with them. On the contrary, he has devoted himself to building the school.

This matter has caused a great sensation and attracted widespread attention online. In ancient times, funding the construction of a school would have been considered a great act of kindness, worthy of being honored with a shrine and incense offerings.

"Continue to observe, don't let your guard down," Zhou Zheng said in a deep voice. "Our opponent this time may be more cunning than those we've encountered before."

His thought was that building a university amidst mountains would be extremely difficult, let alone completing it within a month.

With only the 300-plus people at Liu Dazhu's construction site, the task was almost impossible to complete. He worried that Wei Ying was just putting on a show, deceiving netizens into continuing to donate, and then running away with the money.

Through the technical department, he already knew that Wei Ying's bank card balance had accumulated to 200 million yuan and was still growing rapidly.

In the afternoon, a shaded area was set up at the construction site.

Wei Ying leaned back in his chair, watching the construction team working enthusiastically ahead, and nodded in satisfaction. Liu Dazhu's team was highly skilled and efficient.

Whenever he encountered a construction problem, Liu Dazhu would immediately consult him, and then carefully break through the mountain to dig the foundation.

"Holy crap? Streamer, aren't you an artist? How come you can even understand construction drawings?"

"This is clearly the foreman consulting with the streamer; judging from his tone, the construction drawings were designed by the streamer himself!"

"I'm an architecture major, and I've never heard of some of the technical terms the host just used."

"Judging from the outline, it looks like the foundation for a school gate?"

"How many side hustles do you have, streamer?"

In the live stream, viewers were all very curious when they saw Liu Dazhu asking Wei Ying for advice.

Wei Ying looked at the comments on the screen, smiled slightly, and pointed to the construction site ahead: "You guessed right, what's under construction now is the gate of Haichuan University."

His envisioned school gate will span between two mountains, reaching tens of meters high and soaring into the sky, majestic and magnificent.

Not far ahead, Liu Dazhu was leading his construction team on a newly carved-out platform, preparing to dig the foundation. Various large pieces of equipment were operating at full speed, creating a deafening noise.

"Oh no! We've dug something up!"

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the foundation excavation site ahead. The roar of various machines abruptly ceased, and the previously noisy construction site instantly fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ying was taken aback and walked forward with his phone in hand.

Upon closer inspection, several grayish-white objects were found scattered beside the excavator's bucket—leg bones!

"Has someone died?" The surrounding workers turned pale with fright and retreated, surrounding the area.

"It shouldn't be." Liu Dazhu frowned, squatted down and examined the bones carefully. "These bones are almost weathered; it would take hundreds of years for them to turn like this. There's probably an ancient tomb underneath."

He had worked in engineering for over a decade, unearthing many strange and unusual things, and had encountered similar situations before. It's highly likely they had stumbled upon an ancient tomb by accident.

"Holy crap! It really is an ancient tomb! Bones that are decades old wouldn't have this kind of calcification layer, and there are even oxidized bronze fragments next to it!"

"Good heavens, the project has to be stopped now, we can only wait for the archaeological team to arrive."

"My brother works at the cultural relics bureau. They said that excavating a tomb would take at least one or two months, and sometimes several years."

"It's over. The great cause of establishing Haichuan University has collapsed halfway through its journey."

In the live stream, some knowledgeable netizens noticed something amiss and recognized that there might be an ancient tomb below, and they all complained that the tomb was discovered at the worst possible time.

The construction plan for Haichuan University has just begun, but it may have to be suspended indefinitely due to the need for cultural relic protection.

In such cases, the authorities must conduct protective excavations, which take an extremely long time, ranging from a month to several years, depending on the size of the tomb.

Liu Dazhu walked up to Wei Ying with a bitter face: "I just reported it, and the higher-ups said they'd send someone over immediately to tell us to stop work."

Wei Ying frowned. His original plan was to build the main structure of the school gate within five days, but now, let alone five days, it might not even be possible in fifty days.

We don't know how big the tomb below is. If it's a large tomb, the project will have to be delayed indefinitely.

"Ding! A tomb awaiting excavation has been detected near the host, triggering the live stream challenge mission [Archaeological Excavation]."

"【Archaeological Excavation】: Please complete the protective excavation and clean the tomb within one day. The integrity of the artifacts must be above 90%."

"Mission Reward: 2000 Challenge Points"

The system notification sounded suddenly, and a new task popped up.

"Dig it yourself?" Wei Ying swallowed hard as he looked at the task requirements. The system not only made him do it himself, but also gave him a one-day deadline. But the reward was indeed generous: two thousand points.

"Let's do it!" Wei Ying made a quick decision. Waiting for the archaeological department to follow procedures would be too late. It was better to do it ourselves.

He opened the system shop and quickly found his target: [Grandmaster-level Archaeological Excavation Skill], which required 500 challenge points to redeem.

"exchange!"
