To Graduate on Time, I Dug Up the Seven-Star Palace from the Start

"Failed seventeen courses in four years."

"Do you even want to graduate?"

Chen Mu has barely transmigrated when he finds himself facing the prospect of expulsion.

So he posts a soul-searching question on a certain Q&A site: "If I excavate the Seven Star Palace, can I graduate?"

It instantly draws a crowd of online jokers.

"If you can pull that off, you'll do more than graduate. You'll even send Uncle San to prison."

"What on earth happened to the poster? It's broad daylight and he's already having delusions."

"Forget the Seven Star Palace. Why not excavate the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor? You'd probably become the country's top archaeologist overnight."

The commenters all take the mickey.

But some time later, on the biggest live-streaming platform in Xia Country,

a tough guy holding a Luoyang shovel appears. He kicks open a giant bronze coffin, then pulls out the living corpse inside, still breathing and dressed in jade burial armor.

"Holy crap, that guy really excavated the Seven Star Palace!"
