Without hesitation, I redeemed it immediately. A wealth of archaeological knowledge, skills, and experience instantly flooded my mind.
A few minutes later, Wei Yingcai finished digesting and slowly opened his eyes.
"Boss Wei? Boss Wei?" Liu Dazhu waved his hand, "We have to stop the equipment first..." Although the official work stoppage notice has not yet arrived, it is definitely not possible to start work under these circumstances.
"Don't rush," Wei Ying waved his hand. "Old Liu, have someone get me some things: a brush, a probe, a measuring tape, a hand shovel..."
These are all essential tools for archaeological excavation. As for shovels and hoes, there are plenty available on the construction site.
"What do you need all this for?" Liu Dazhu blinked, not understanding.
"There's no time to explain. Get the stuff first, preferably a few hundred sets." Wei Ying glanced at him, his gaze sweeping over the hundreds of workers on the construction site.
It's a pipe dream for him to finish digging in a day by himself. But with so many people, they are ready-made helpers.
Half an hour later, hundreds of sets of tools were transported to the construction site and piled up into a small mountain.
Liu Dazhu, realizing what was going on, his eyes trembling, cautiously asked, "Boss Wei, you wouldn't be thinking of digging this grave yourself, would you?"
"How is that possible?" Wei Ying said.
Just as Liu Dazhu's heart was finally at ease, Wei Ying's next words almost made him jump out of his skin.
"How can I finish digging all by myself? You guys can't just stand by and watch, can you? Help out."
Liu Dazhu stared at Wei Ying in horror, wishing he could turn and run. What the hell?! This is an ancient tomb, not a radish!
If you accidentally damage a cultural relic, it's no laughing matter!
"This...this...should we wait for the archaeological bureau to come?" Liu Dazhu said with a long face. "The problem is, we're all roughnecks, we don't know how to dig this thing."
"It's nothing, it's very simple." Wei Ying waved his hand, looking relaxed.
Liu Dazhu was about to cry.
Wei ignored him and picked up a probe, brush, and measuring tape. He walked to the center where the tomb was discovered. He bent over, moved gently, and slowly inserted the probe into the soil to examine it carefully.
Ten minutes later, he marked out an area, then picked up a hoe and swung it down in a wide arc.
Liu Dazhu's face turned ashen, and his heart trembled.
This scene was broadcast live in its entirety.
The live chat exploded instantly.
"Stop! Think twice!"
"This is an ancient tomb! Damaging cultural relics is a serious offense and will land you in jail!"
"Holy crap! Streamer, that shovel strike could get you at least three years in prison, and possibly life imprisonment!"
"The school location can be changed; there's no need to throw yourself in jail!"
"..."
The comments section was unanimously filled with advice against it. Grave robbing and damaging cultural relics are serious crimes; Wei Ying's actions were utterly suicidal.
If they use a few more hoes, his sentence will probably be extended to the maximum.
Finally, the shouts from the comments section seemed to have an effect. Wei Ying swung his hoe dozens of times before stopping.
"It's not too late to back down now! I know a lawyer named Zhang Wei, I can introduce you to him."
"If you ask me, everyone is making a big fuss over nothing. More punishment is never a bad thing. The anchor probably doesn't care about another year or two."
"Listen to me, go and turn yourself in right away, and you might get leniency."
"..."
In the live stream, the chat offered various suggestions, with the majority advising people to turn themselves in.
Wei Ying then looked at Liu Dazhu and the surrounding workers: "Have you learned it yet?"
The crowd shuddered. Though they weren't highly educated, they understood basic law. In their eyes, Wei Ying's behavior was no different from that of a lawless madman.
"Don't worry, there are no cultural relics down there." Wei Ying smiled. "Next, I'll demarcate the area, and you'll be responsible for cleaning it. Just don't touch the places I've marked."
Having mastered the Grandmaster-level skill, he had already made a rough assessment of the tomb. It wasn't large, only a few hundred square meters.
The location of the main burial chamber had also been determined, so he dared to proceed with such confidence. After all, the mission required the artifacts to be at least 90% intact, and he was certain of that.
"But, but we're not professionals, we don't know anything about archaeology..." Liu Dazhu swallowed hard, still not daring to speak.
"If you don't understand, I'll teach you," Wei Ying interrupted him. "In addition, everyone who participates in the excavation will receive an extra 10,000 yuan bonus."
As soon as he finished speaking, many workers' eyes lit up. They toiled away on the construction site, earning only three or four hundred yuan a day. Ten thousand yuan was more than they made in a month.
"But...but..." Liu Dazhu looked at Wei Ying with pleading eyes.
"Add another five thousand, for you personally," Wei Ying added.
"Let's do it!" Liu Dazhu gritted his teeth, determined to go all out. "I'll do it right now!"
Money can be a powerful motivator. Anyway, if the sky falls, Wei Ying will be there to hold it up; he's just a worker who takes the money and does the work.
"Let's get started." Wei Ying grinned and began assigning tasks. He was in charge of surveying and marking the cultural relics sites, while the others were responsible for excavating the surrounding soil.
At the same time, he took the time to teach everyone how to photograph, clean, extract, and prevent weathering damage when encountering cultural relics.
In the live stream, 100,000 viewers were stunned to see that Wei Yong had used money to "bribe" so many people.
"Please, streamer, don't go further down the path of illegality."
"You not only dug it yourself, but you also incited others? That's an even bigger crime!"
"It's over, it's all over. I can already guess what will be trending tomorrow: the president of Haichuan University has been arrested for illegally excavating an ancient tomb."
"May you rest in peace, anchor. I will miss you. Do your best to reform yourself in prison."
"..."
The screen was filled with comments; seeing that persuasion was futile, many began to "send them off" prematurely. Having a group of construction workers do archaeological excavation is like having boiler operators research rocket fuel—their expertise is completely mismatched.
If they dig like this, all the artifacts will probably be ruined. Netizens with archaeology backgrounds are heartbroken.
"Wait a minute, something seems off. Streamer, you've got some skills."
Half an hour later, as the excavation continued, some netizens suddenly noticed something unusual.
"You know what, you really have to believe it, the streamer isn't just good at a few things, he's surrounded by people who are good at everything."
"I wasn't talking about that brush! Didn't you guys notice? Everything the streamer dug up was perfectly intact!"
"The process of brushing off the soil, retrieving the items, and separating them may look rough, but it's actually quite skillful. They managed not to break a single item."
"Holy crap? The streamer even knows about archaeology?"
"..."
Many netizens with expertise in archaeology stepped forward to analyze Wei Ying's actions from a professional perspective.
They discovered that Wei Ying's every step was textbook-perfect, and incredibly fast. In just half an hour, more than a dozen artifacts had been unearthed intact.
While digging, Wei Ying glanced at the lens and analyzed, "Judging from the structure and burial objects, the age of this tomb can probably be pushed back by a thousand or eight hundred years."
As he spoke, he took out another burial item and placed it intact beside him.
"How did you know?" Liu Dazhu blinked, staring at the unearthed artifacts for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
In fact, after digging with Wei Ying for more than half an hour, Liu Dazhu already had a good idea of what was going on.
Wei Ying's methods may seem casual, but they are actually quite methodical.
So far, not a single artifact has been damaged. He and the workers have been learning from him and have even tried digging a few pieces themselves. Although they are not as skillful as Wei Ying, they have at least gotten the hang of it.
