Su Chen, an overworked history major, was visiting Dingdong Mausoleum when he looked at a photo of the Empress Dowager and complained, “Her burial treasures are enough to let me lie flat for three lifetimes.” Just then, an earthquake struck, and he fell into a pose identical to the one in a coffin. When he woke, everything around him was pitch-black, and he was still clutching half a tourist-site grilled sausage he hadn't finished eating.
【Ding! Tomb-Raiding System successfully bound!】
【Newbie gift pack issued: Rapid Digging Shovel (digging efficiency ×10, comes with the passive skill “Sneak around without waking the zongzi”), 1,000 cubic meters of storage space (for gold and jewelry, or even three cases of instant noodles)】
Su Chen: “???”
He glanced at the time displayed by the System: January 1909. Location: deep inside Dingdong Mausoleum's underground palace.
Other people who transmigrate to the Republic of China become warlords or literary greats. He, on the other hand, has been dropped right into a tomb-raiding site, and not just any site: Dingdong Mausoleum in its original, untouched state, before Sun Dianying ever got there!
System: “Host, please work hard to dig up tombs, redeem cool gear, become a top-tier star in the Republic of China tomb-raiding world, and unlock the ultimate title: ‘Dirt Digger’!”
As Su Chen shovels dirt with his rapid-digging tool, he curses under his breath: “Top-tier star, my foot! If anyone finds out, won't I get tied up and thrown into a pig cage on top of Cixi's coffin?!”
From then on, the Republic of China has an eccentric tomb robber: “Have you heard? There's a real character in Dingdong Mausoleum. He even stopped to take group photos with the artifacts while robbing the tomb!”
Su Chen: “Thanks for asking. I'm in the Republic of China, just out of the underground palace, clutching Cixi's luminous pearl. The System wants me to rob Qianling next... Anyone there? This is urgent. How do I keep Puyi from hunting me down?”
