You Said He'd Be a Quiet Bottle, So What's with Him Chopping Up Zongzi?

The Dragon Kingdom has lost much of its history, so the annual archaeology student competition has become a major event watched by the entire nation.

The campus belle, Xia Yue, invited Ye Xuan, an invisible nobody who ranked dead last in every subject, and his best friend, Wang the Chubby, to join her team on a whim.

They threw themselves into the challenge and even chose an unsolved Warring States silk manuscript, which had stumped the nation for ten years, as their tomb-exploration clue.

No one, including Xia Yue herself, believed they had any chance of winning.

Then a miracle happened!

In just one hour, the taciturn man in her eyes had skillfully uncovered a hidden map in the silk manuscript;

In the underwater cave, he pinched a corpse beetle between two fingers and used a drop of blood to intimidate the female ghost trying to escape by possessing a corpse;

After entering the tomb, he chased zombies with a black-and-gold ancient saber, saving all three of them from certain death several times...

He even helped her cause a huge stir at the Crescent Hotel!

Xia Yue stared at him in bafflement. "You were supposed to be dead weight, so what's with you cutting down zombies left and right?"

No livestream filler, just a mystery-solving archaeological adventure.
