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

Without anyone noticing, the archaeology major at Haichuan University has become a hot topic online, becoming the most popular major for students.

Students who did not meet the cutoff scores have once again launched a fundraising campaign.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Liu Dazhu then gathered his men at the construction site. Each person held a paintbrush and a shovel, appearing calm on the surface but inwardly excited.

Because Wei Ying told them that yesterday's tomb wasn't finished being dug, and there was an even bigger one underneath. Moreover, each person would receive an extra ten thousand in wages.

"Same as always, I'll explore, you guys clear it." Wei Ying, carrying tools, was the first to jump into yesterday's grave pit.

He had long ago discovered that this was a "mother-child tomb," and the one below was the real tomb.

Six hours later, a massive burial pit was cleared out, measuring nearly 100 meters horizontally and even longer vertically.

The central burial chamber was filled with a dazzling array of burial objects, including hundreds of gold, silver, and bronze artifacts.

"Good heavens, this is the scale of the tomb! Whose tomb is this?" Liu Dazhu stared at the unearthed artifacts, swallowing hard. If these things could be sold... he dared not even imagine their value.

"It should be the tomb of Marquis Jingchuan himself," Wei Ying said in a deep voice, his eyes slightly shifting.

He led the group to continue the cleanup, removing all the burial objects one by one. By 2 p.m., all the artifacts in the mother-and-child tomb had been unearthed.

Because the tomb chamber was deeper and the workers lacked experience, the overall integrity rate decreased slightly, but it still reached 90%.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully excavating the mother-and-child tomb. Overall integrity rate: 90%!"

"Reward: 2000 Challenge Points"

The system notification sounded precisely on time.

Wei Ying glanced at his challenge points balance, which had already reached 3020 points.

"Luckily, I found the main tomb below using the 'Observation of Qi and Identification of Burial Sites' method from the [Grandmaster Archaeology Skills], otherwise the mission would have been really in jeopardy." He muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Yesterday he spent several hours clearing the upper tombs, but the system task was not settled.

He was cautious and used the secret techniques within his skills to carefully investigate several times before discovering that there was an even bigger one hidden underneath.

But it was already late, so they had to wait until the next day to dig. They managed to finish the task within the one-day deadline.

"We can inform Old Hu now." Wei Ying took a deep breath and looked at Liu Dazhu beside him.

Four hours later, in the evening.

Hu Zhengchu led the archaeological team to the construction site again in a hurry.

"Besides the one from yesterday, are there any other graves nearby?" As soon as they met, Hu Zhengchu grabbed Wei Ying and pressed him for answers.

Wei Ying nodded and pointed behind him.

Behind him, on the open ground, were neatly arranged artifacts unearthed from the main tomb, totaling more than five thousand pieces, including many exquisite bronzes, jades, lacquerware, and a small number of well-preserved bamboo slips.

"This...this..." Hu Zhengchu's eyes widened again when he saw this scene. He was so excited that his face turned red and his breathing became rapid.

"Medicine! Quick, get the medicine!" The teammate next to him reacted very quickly, taking out some nitroglycerin tablets and feeding him several.

A few minutes later, Hu Zhengchu recovered, but the excitement on his face remained undiminished. The discovery of over five thousand artifacts was absolutely a national sensation!

But when he came here yesterday, he didn't even notice that there was such a big thing hidden underneath. Moreover, it was Wei Ying who dug it out with a group of construction workers.

Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed. After a long while, he finally raised his head and asked Wei Ying with a complicated expression, "How...how did you discover there was another tomb below?"

Judging from the state of preservation of the artifacts, this tomb was definitely not accidentally unearthed during construction; otherwise, it would have been destroyed long ago. Wei Ying probably already knew this.

"Well..." Wei Ying feigned hesitation, leaned closer, and lowered his voice, "Have you heard of the method of 'observing qi to identify acupoints'?"

Hu Zhengchu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

This secret technique is said to be able to accurately locate tombs by observing the terrain and soil conditions. It is a closely guarded skill of top ancient geomancers and is even more mysterious than modern instruments.

"You...you really know how to do this?" Hu Zhengchu swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask.

Wei Ying straightened his back and said seriously, "Of course. However, this is a closely guarded secret of Haichuan University, passed down only to the faculty and students of our school."

After listening, Hu Zhengchu suddenly fell silent. He lowered his head and remained silent.

After a long pause, as if he had made up his mind, he looked up at Wei Ying and said, "Okay, I'll join Haichuan University."

In the live broadcast room, the audience was even more excited than Wei Ying when they heard Hu Zhengchu say this.

"Holy crap? Old Hu really agreed? What did the streamer whisper to him just now?"

"It seems like they said something like this can only be learned by joining Kaichuan University!"

"What is it? You're making me very interested. Is it related to archaeology?"

"Another large tomb! It was unearthed by a group of construction workers..."

Many viewers waited in the live broadcast room early in the morning to witness the entire process of Wei Ying leading people to dig up the tomb.

The tomb is enormous in scale, yielding countless artifacts, yet it was built by a group of construction workers.

It has to be said that this slap in the face has left certain professional fields feeling quite embarrassed.

Before the buzz about the archaeology major at Haichuan University had died down on social media, the hashtag #MillennialMarquisTombDiscovered# surged to the top of the trending searches, causing a sensation across the internet.

A super ancient tomb of extremely high status has been discovered in a certain area. The tomb owner is suspected to be a prominent marquis in history, and the number of cultural relics unearthed is astonishing.

However, when netizens were following the story, they discovered that this trending topic was actually related to Haichuan University again—to be precise, the tomb was discovered at the junction of four provinces and was dug out by more than 300 construction workers under the command of Wei Ying.

"Wow! A marquis-level tomb, which professional archaeological teams would take months to complete, and Haichuan University finished it in a single day?"

"Isn't this a slap in the face to professionals? Where do they put them?"

"To be precise, it was dug out in a single day by the president of Haichuan University and a group of construction workers!"

"As expected of the archaeology program at Haichuan University, that's really hardcore!"

Because of this large tomb, the archaeology major at Haichuan University has once again gone viral, with its popularity soaring.

In addition, Hu Zhengchu's announcement of joining Haichuan University quietly sparked a trend of applying to the archaeology department of Haichuan University.

A residential building in a city in Haixi.

"Dad, I've made up my mind. My first choice is the Archaeology Department of Haichuan University." Tang Ming looked up and told his father his thoughts.

He's a high school graduate this year, and his score is 612. He's currently facing the dilemma of choosing which university to apply to.

"Haichuan University? What kind of school is that? Didn't you want to apply to Nanjiang University before?" Tang's father frowned and picked up his phone to search for it.

I quickly found the official website and saw the introduction: a brand new university with a long history (to date) and a campus that is still under construction.

"Nonsense!" he said sternly. "What future can a school without even a proper campus have?"

"You usually like watching adventure and archaeology videos and want to study archaeology, I support you. Nanjiang University's archaeology program is among the top five in the country, isn't that better than this lousy school?"

In his view, choosing the right university is crucial; one wrong step could ruin your life.
