I'm Just a Locksmith, and You Want Me to Open a Tomb Door?

Lin Chen transmigrates to a parallel world and discovers he's taking part in a show as a locksmith.

Luckily, his divine-grade Locksmith System awakens, granting him a thief-level lockpicking skill on the spot.

Locksmith: "This anti-theft lock is a little complicated. You'll need to..."

Before he can finish, Lin Chen opens it in two quick moves. "Like this?"

Locksmith: "??"

Audience: "No way! That's more professional than the locksmith. Something's off about this guy."

Then his skill levels up to master thief.

Locksmith: "This safe's lock is pretty complicated. To open it..."

Lin Chen opens it in two quick moves. "Like this?"

Locksmith: "??"

Audience: "666. Someone should investigate him."

As the show takes off, Lin Chen becomes famous overnight.

But then an archaeological team unexpectedly comes looking for him.

Professor: "Young man, help me open a door."

Lin Chen: "I'm a locksmith. You want me to open a tomb door?"

Professor: "Isn't a tomb door still a door?"

When Lin Chen opens the tomb door, the audience goes wild: "That's criminal! That technique is seriously criminal..."
