Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 37 Mountain Moving Technique, Mountain-Penetrating Cave Armor

"Comrade Xiao Yang, I have to criticize you a bit. Although I understand your obsession with the Muchen Pearl..."

But if you're going to marry me because of this, then I'll be very disappointed.

Cheng Feng straightened his chest and gave Yang Xueli a stern lecture.

Yang Xueli rolled her eyes and said helplessly:

"What are you thinking? I meant to say that I have a single woman as a neighbor in the United States."

My family is extremely wealthy; I can help you get introduced to someone if you need help.

Cheng Feng coughed lightly: "Oh, I see. I misunderstood you. What does this lady look like? Is she pretty?"

"She's alright, but she's a bit plump. I don't know if you'd be okay with that."

Cheng Feng sensed a hint of mockery in Yang Xueli's eyes and had a bad feeling.

"full?"

Yang Xueli said in a serious tone, "Well, she's a bit stronger than Wang Kaixuan, but she's not ugly."

"Yang Xueli! We've been through thick and thin together, are you trying to push me into a fire pit?"

Cheng Feng's bad premonition came true; this young woman was clearly teasing him.

Yang Xueli smiled, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, brimming with brightness.

"If you don't like that, I have another option here."

As she spoke, Yang Xueli stood up and walked to Cheng Feng, bending slightly to bring her face closer to him.

"I'll give you all my possessions in exchange for your help in finding the Muchen Pearl."

The two were now only a fist's distance apart, and they could feel each other's breathing.

Cheng Feng stared at Yang Xueli, not giving an immediate answer.

Having not received a reply from Cheng Feng, Yang Xueli straightened up and said helplessly:

"Besides these, I can't offer any higher terms."

"Actually you……"

Cheng Feng kept looking at Yang Xueli as he spoke, and suddenly he noticed that Yang Xueli seemed to be expecting something.

"What's wrong with me?"

Yang Xueli's puzzled look was genuine, but Cheng Feng still felt that something was off.

I thought to myself, could this little girl be waiting for me to ask for her, playing hard to get?

"I almost fell for it. The difference between me bringing it up and her bringing it up is completely different. Luckily, I reacted in time."

Thinking of this, Cheng Feng continued, "Actually, you should rest. We can talk about this when we get back."

Yang Xueli frowned, thinking to herself, "What's wrong with this guy? I've given him such obvious hints, why isn't he taking the bait?"

But Cheng Feng had already stood up to see the guest off, so she couldn't say anything more and reluctantly went back to rest.

Five days later, in the capital.

Just like when we first set off, we all returned to the Institute of Western Regions Culture.

After having the comrades in the unit pack up the equipment, everyone started chatting while drinking tea.

"Old Hu, Fatty, you two come with me later to collect the agreed-upon payment!"

Yang Xueli had been keeping the two of them in mind about their commission, and the two of them protected the archaeological team very well this time.

Especially when they returned from the ancient city of Jingjue, if it weren't for Hu Bayi's proper command, they probably wouldn't have been able to get out.

"Alright, then we won't stand on ceremony with you, Miss Yang."

Hu Bayi's expression showed joy. If he could help more of his comrades' families, his guilt would be somewhat soothed.

When he was in the army, Hu Bayi was a company commander with a group of brothers under his command. Later, many of them died in battle while attacking a high ground.

He was forced to withdraw from the front line because he beat the prisoners who had killed his comrades.

After finishing their tea, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang followed Yang Xueli to get the money.

"You guys go back and rest too. I'll give you a day off tomorrow, and you can come back to work the day after tomorrow."

Although Hao Aiguo had a stern face, his words were still very warm.

"Okay, thank you, Professor."

With a nod, Cheng Feng was the first to leave the room; he was always the most eager to leave get out of class.

The other three also expressed their gratitude; having been away from home for so long, their hearts were already longing to return.

After leaving the research institute, Cheng Feng walked along the streets of Beijing.

At that time, there were not as many cars on the streets as there would be more than ten years later; bicycles were the main mode of transportation.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Cheng Feng returned to his home in this world.

Cheng Feng's home here is a courtyard house with one entrance, covering an area of ​​230 square meters.

The layout is a very traditional axial symmetry pattern, with the main house facing south and divided into three rooms on the left, middle and right.

The rooms on the left and right are bedrooms, and the middle room is a living room.

There are two side rooms on each side of the courtyard; one side has guest rooms and a study, and the other side has a storage room.

There is a back room facing the main house in the courtyard wall, which is the kitchen.

"The system is really generous. With such a clean and tidy yard, I'll be a billionaire even if I do nothing."

Based on his memory, Cheng Feng first took a cold shower and then went to the study.

"System, collect the reward."

'Ding~ Rewards: Mountain Moving Technique and Mountain-Penetrating Armor have been issued. Please check and receive them.'

The next second, a small black ball appeared on the table in front of Cheng Feng, which looked slightly larger than a fist.

Cheng Feng didn't have time to examine him closely before he rolled his eyes and slumped onto the desk.

After a long while, the sun outside was about to set, and amidst the chirping of sparrows, Cheng Feng slowly sat up.

"What a vast amount of knowledge! The mountain-moving techniques provided by the system are truly comprehensive."

This secret technique of moving mountains contains the principles of overcoming and neutralizing obstacles that have been followed by generations of Taoist practitioners of the Mountain Moving Sect.

For example, the types of evil creatures in tombs, the weaknesses of poisonous insects and wild animals in the mountains and fields, and the ways to break through traps and formations, etc.

It can be said to be all-encompassing, containing all the knowledge needed for tomb raiding and exploration.

In addition, there are the martial arts techniques practiced by the Mountain Moving Taoists, such as Seven Star Fist and Five Elements Palm.

Most importantly, there are the three nails and four armor plates for moving mountains.

The three nails are divided into 'Seven Star Coffin-Suppressing Nail, Eight Trigrams Corpse-Suppressing Nail, and Nine Iron Evil-Suppressing Nail'.

The four types of armor are: 'Mountain-Dividing Sledge Armor, Mountain-Penetrating Cave Armor, Azure Water Dragon Armor, and Stake-Climbing Mountain Armor.'

The methods for creating and cultivating these three nails and four armors are all in the Mountain Moving Secret Technique, but unfortunately, they weren't provided ready-made.

With this knowledge, coupled with the blessing of the Ghost Eye and the bloodline of Emperor Yan, Cheng Feng felt that he could go and see the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

Of course, this was just a thought; Cheng Feng had no need to disturb this ancestral dragon of the Chinese nation.

"Is this ball a pangolin?"

Now Cheng Feng was finally able to take a good look at this secret treasure of the Mountain Moving lineage.

Picking it up from the table, it was very heavy, weighing over twenty kilograms. It felt like metal and was incredibly smooth.

"Don't curl up, open it and take a look."

According to the secrets of the Mountain Moving Technique, the Mountain-Climbing Pangolin is a living pangolin that is very intelligent and can understand human speech.

As soon as he finished speaking, the smooth sphere crumbled and transformed into a small pangolin covered in scales.

"Little one, let's name you. It's April now, so let's call you Xiaoman!"

The little pangolin nodded in a human-like manner and even turned around once, seemingly quite satisfied with the name.

"Then Xiaoman, please take good care of me from now on!"
