I Have a Hundred Avatars

"Cao Ya doesn't rely on heaven or earth, he only relies on himself!"

"Cao Ya doesn't have any cheats!"

Facing the countless gods and buddhas, Cao Ya spoke withou...

Chapter 19 Contacting the Fat Man and the Lama

Of ten Cao Yazhongs, nine are curious, and the remaining one is both curious and worried.

[The Supreme Being] Cao Ya looked worried and sighed repeatedly.

"Sigh, the Shaolin Temple's martial arts tournament for the younger generation is about to begin, and the final outcome will be decided soon. If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Zhiwei from the Sword Washing Pavilion will still be the champion, and Zhang Yuanshan from the True Martial Sect will be the runner-up. After this tournament ends, the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation will start to recruit people, and the plot will start to go crazy." He looked very worried.

If a powerful figure from a super-world could enter, someone whose power level breaks through the heavens... Ha, what a pipe dream!

Cao Ya smiled self-deprecatingly at the title of "Peerless One".

[Detective Conan] Cao Ya comforted him, "Don't worry too much. The plot hasn't gone crazy yet. We'll have to wait until Meng Qi's Dharma Body appears. There are still more than ten years. What if a big shot appears among us? Nobody can say for sure."

"I hope so," Cao Ya, the [Peerless One], replied sullenly.

The World of Tomb Raiders.

Cao Ya returned, sensing the surging power within her, and smiled broadly.

Suddenly he rolled over and climbed out of the tent.

He was in a remote, uninhabited mountain forest, next to a small hill, where he set up his tent.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Cao Ya quickly packed up, leaving behind the tent and tools for working in the field. Carrying a small bag, he headed straight out of the mountains.

He had found an ancient tomb, but failed to invite the fat man, so he decided to investigate it by himself.

Because of the changing times, the location of the ancient tomb has never been determined, so we have been staying in the deep mountains for some time, traversing mountains and valleys to determine the location of the ancient tomb.

Now it doesn't have to be so troublesome.

Despite the problems of the world, the world of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is ultimately not a high-level interface, and too much power will be subject to certain limitations.

The reason why the worlds of "Naruto" and "Global Martial Arts" don't have them is because those two worlds are already at a high level.

In Naruto, a Six Paths level cultivator can destroy stars and travel through the universe.

A physical body traversing the universe!

[Global Martial Arts] Needless to say, there is not a single weakling among those above the pinnacle of true gods.

While "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is somewhat unique, it pales in comparison to that kind of interface.

Now that she had the power, Cao Ya was no longer willing to continue working alone, detached from the main storyline.

The main storyline is so exciting, I have to get involved no matter what.

Previously, I was wary of "it" which was deeply hidden behind the scenes, and I didn't want to enter "it's" field of vision.

There is no such worry now.

Our strength has already broken through the world's ceiling, so what is there to fear?

Even with some limitations in the world, the title of "unrivaled in this era" still holds true.

He's not afraid of nuclear bombs, but he's afraid of a hidden "it"?

Stop kidding me!

Back in the small town, Cao Ya bought a ticket and took a train directly back to the county seat.

He didn't intend to travel on foot.

Flying through the sky?

That's too ostentatious.

This was in Shaanxi. He arrived at a small county town, which was some distance from Xi'an, so he decided to stay at a hotel in the county town.

He contacted the fat man, but the fat man didn't respond until several hours later.

"Damn it, are you trying to kill me?! I finally got a good night's sleep. I was exhausted the other day," the fat man complained on the other end of the phone.

"Damn, I called you for hours and you didn't answer, and I didn't complain, but you're already grumbling?" Cao Ya joked. "How's that sea tomb? Any finds?"

The fat man seemed to have a lot to say: "Don't even mention it, we didn't get anything. If it weren't for the decent compensation from that foreign company, I would have lost a fortune on this trip."

At this point, the fat man changed the subject: "By the way, have you found that Tang Dynasty tomb? Where exactly is it located?"

"No."

"Damn it, Comrade Cao Ya, I have to remind you, in our line of work, you have to be diligent. Look how many days it's been? You still haven't found the place. Have you gone on vacation? No wonder you haven't made any big money. With your attitude, there's no way you'll make any big money." The fat man complained.

"Damn it! Fatty, can't you speak human language?" Cao Ya laughed and cursed.

After chatting and joking with the fat man for a while, Cao Ya suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Fatty, do you have any work over there? Do you want to hire a lama? What do you think of me?"

The fat man laughed loudly: "I knew it! You called me out of the blue, so you didn't have any connections."

“I told you long ago, you can’t work alone. In our line of work, there are some things you have to do in groups.”

The fat man hesitated for a moment:

"Hmm, I happen to have a big job here. I'll take as many lamas as I can get. I know you well, you're a good one."

Cao Ya smiled, knowing that the big trip the fat man was talking about must be the trip to the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.

After all, an underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands has been discovered.

"Jia Lama" is a colloquial term.

On this path, some things can only be done in groups. For example, some large tombs deep in the mountains and forests cannot be handled by one person alone. Firstly, there is too much necessary equipment that one person cannot carry in alone, and secondly, one person cannot bring out the good stuff alone. These ancient tombs are generally in extremely dangerous environments. If one person is alone, it would be a stroke of luck to come back alive. No one would be willing to risk going in again and again.

So whenever this happened, someone would step forward to take the lead. In ancient times, this was called "catching the fight," and in the jargon of the Republic of China era, it was called "clamping the lama."

This is similar to a contractor today who has a project and hires plumbers and electricians to do it. Archaeological teams in the early days of liberation also used similar methods to find talented people.

That's why Fatty kept saying Cao Ya wouldn't last long and wanted him to work with him.

However, Cao Ya had some reservations and kept refusing the fat man's invitation.

Cao Ya wasn't deliberately courting death. The ancient tombs he visited weren't the large ones. Sometimes, they didn't even have passageways, tomb passages, or side chambers. There was just a burial chamber, a coffin, and some things that the tomb owner liked during his lifetime piled up beside it.

This can't even be called a tomb.

It was often local landlords and gentry who would be buried in this way.

They couldn't build those large tombs with such vast areas; they didn't have the financial or human resources.

These small tombs don't have any special mechanisms, so Cao Ya can usually handle them by himself. However, the haul is unpredictable. Sometimes he goes down into three or five tombs and finds nothing. The burial items of the tomb owners were stolen by people in the neighborhood many years ago.

It was a wasted trip.

Having finalized the route for Fatty's group, Cao Ya didn't sleep that night. He sat cross-legged on the bed meditating, but made no progress.

"Sigh, we still have no choice but to rely on other Cao Ya."

Cao Ya was helpless, bound by the limitations of the world, and could only sigh in despair.

A few days later, Fatty contacted Cao Ya and said that he had made all the arrangements and that Cao Ya should just go over there, meet up in Changsha, and then go to Jilin in Northeast China.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Ya checked out of the hotel, bought a train ticket to Changsha, and met the fat man. Beside him was a man with a well-proportioned, tall and thin figure, expressionless, and with a rather mysterious air.
