The moment I opened my eyes, I heard a Luoyang shovel chipping away at the earth above me. Two tomb robbers were digging up my grave. Beside me, a skeleton spoke in a hollow voice, saying it had been lying there for over two hundred years longer than I had, and telling me to hang in there and not let them drain my yang energy. A System window flashed into view: first survival mission activated, countdown of five minutes. A dull thud sounded overhead, and clods of dirt began to shower down. A beam of flashlight cut through the gap. The shop menu spread out before my eyes: corpse beetles, 1 point; fire piao beetles, 1 point; man-eating ants, 2 points; fire snakes, 10 points; zongzi, 1,000 points. I clenched my fists and stared at the options. Suddenly, the coffin lid shuddered.
