On a snowy night outside Changsha, young Lin Zhiming is brought back from a mass grave by Zhang Qishan and taken into the Zhang residence. From then on, he becomes the apple of the Ninth Gate’s eye. His father, Zhang Qishan, teaches him marksmanship and responsibility; his mother, Yin Xinyue, teaches him cunning and ruthlessness. Even Qi Tiezui, the Eighth Master, chases after him every day to tell his fortune. Buddha’s warning, “Let’s see anyone dare lay a hand on him,” becomes an ironclad rule of the Ninth Gate.
No one knows that this boy, cherished by the entire Ninth Gate, has a Tomb-Raiding sign-in System in his head.
Sign in inside the Bronze Gate and receive “Affinity with Qilin Blood”; sign in at the Xisha Underwater Tomb and get “Corpse Beetle Nemesis”; sign in at the Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace and unlock “Use of the Black Gold Ancient Blade”…
Lin Zhiming watches the rewards constantly refreshing on the System screen, then glances at his parents and the Ninth Gate elders, who worry themselves sick over him. He silently grips the Luoyang shovel he has just received.
“Don’t worry. With me here, I’ll take care of everything in the tomb-raiding world from now on!”
