Chapter 194 Signing in at the Underground Ruins, Reward...
"Damn! This is so good! Damn! This is so tasty too! Woo hoo, Song bro, I feel like everything I ate back in Forty-nine City was pigswill, this is so delicious, too delicious!"
Ouyang Jie cried while stuffing his mouth full of food.
...
The next morning at eight o\'clock, a jeep with military plates stopped at the entrance of Song Yun\'s house.
A young soldier got out of the car, adjusted his uniform, and waited for Ouyang Jie to appear.
"Little Monkey?"
A voice called out from behind the soldier, who spun around to see the person he had been longing for, Huang Baoding!
"Squad leader? You... What are you doing here!"
The soldier\'s hands trembled as he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the other person.
His real name was Hou Guangliang. When he first joined the army, he didn\'t understand anything and made many rookie mistakes. Every time, it was his squad leader, Huang Baoding, who wiped his ass for him. This favor followed him as he transferred between different units, right up to the present!
"You\'ve gotten strong, kiddo!"
Huang Baoding said with a chuckle, patting Hou Guangliang\'s shoulder and nodding with approval. "Who are you waiting for in front of my boss\'s house?"
"Your boss?" Hou Guangliang stood frozen as if struck by lightning: "You...didn\'t you become Ouyang\'s personal guard later? How come now..."
"Heh, my boss\'s parents had an old friendship with the old master, and considering his own high status, the old master arranged for me to come over as a bodyguard."
Perhaps seeing the anxiety and concern in the other\'s eyes, Huang Baoding said reassuringly, "Don\'t think I\'ve been exiled to Magic Capital! Let me tell you, my boss is the richest man in Magic Capital, and following him means enjoying all the perks and freedom you can imagine."
"But, your talents shouldn\'t be wasted like this..."
Hou Guangliang sounded a bit disheartened.
"Nonsense! What talents do I have! Here I\'m not only able to delve into what I love but also to hook up our retired comrades with some sweet gigs! What\'s there to be ashamed of?"
"I didn\'t mean it like that..."
"Alright, alright, look at you sweating like a pig, still such a wimp!" Huang Baoding laughed: "So, who are you waiting for?"
"Captain Ouyang Jie."
"Oh, oh, oh, no wonder then."
"Huh??"
"Didn\'t you know that Captain Ouyang and my boss are good brothers?"
Upon hearing this, Hou Guangliang was even more astonished. He was aware of the stature the Ouyang Family held, and that the heir to the Ouyang Family being good brothers with a businessman was...
"Little Monkey, you\'re here early."
While the two were chatting, Ouyang Jie, dressed in casual clothes, opened the door, followed by Song Yun in sports attire.
"Captain, hello!"
"Let me introduce you, this is my brother Song Yun. He\'s coming with us to the underground ruins later."
So this was the boss that old squad leader was talking about? He looked soft and weak, handsome for sure, but not that impressive...
"Boss, am I coming along too?"
Huang Baoding asked.
Song Yun shook his head: "I won\'t be home for a few days. Protect Qing Qing well."
"Yes, sir!"
"Well then, squad leader, I\'m off. When the mission is over, I\'ll come find you for a drink."
Hou Guangliang waved at Huang Baoding, started the vehicle, and took Song Yun and Ouyang Jie toward the underground ruins.
In the car, Hou Guangliang glanced at the rearview mirror with the corner of his eye, sizing up Song Yun meticulously.
Is this young man the richest man in the Magic Capital? Too young, which family\'s progeny is he?
"Young man, is there something on my face?"
Song Yun asked gently, startling Hou Guangliang into gripping the steering wheel tighter, "No, no...
"You drive carefully, kid, and don\'t think I don\'t know what you\'re thinking. I\'ll have you know that even I may not be able to beat Song Yun, so you better drop that contempt!"
Ouyang Jie reminded him mildly from the passenger seat.
Upon reaching the destination, Song Yun discovered that the area had already been sealed off, having to pass through three security lines to really get to the place.

Once he alighted from the car, work had already commenced on the site, with many archeologists carefully using small shovels and brushes to clean the cultural relics.
"Captain Ouyang is back."
A refined-looking elderly man greeted Ouyang Jie with a smile, and Ouyang Jie saluted before saying, "Good morning, Professor Yan!"
"I hear Captain Ouyang is highly skilled. When we enter the main chamber later, we\'ll rely on you to protect us, the defenseless," the professor said.
"Rest assured, I will do my utmost!" Ouyang Jie responded.
"And this is?"
"Oh, this is a friend of mine, here today to broaden his experience," Ouyang Jie replied.
Upon hearing Ouyang Jie\'s words, Professor Yan nodded slightly toward Song Yun, without much intention to engage in conversation.
"We\'ve broken through, we\'ve broken through!"
A worker in the pit shouted loudly.
A crowd of people promptly put down their work and hurried over.
They saw a grand and classical bronze door emerge at the bottom of a pit that went down more than ten meters.
Strikingly, after being splashed with water following such a long period, the bronze door radiated a dark luster and astonishingly showed not the slightest hint of rust!
"These are characters from the Zhou Dynasty!"
Professor Yan said excitedly, raising his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "This bronze door holds profound research significance! Be very careful when you open it!"
So, after several hours of work, the bronze door slowly opened, revealing wafts of stale black smoke that dissipated under the sunlight.
"Use the extraction fans to remove all the waste gas!"
Professor Yan hastily instructed, "The bacteria content in the waste gas from ancient tombs is very high, absolutely not to be inhaled!"
It must be said that the preparations this time were done thoroughly, with more than a dozen large extraction fans targeting the entrance and operating madly until the air being extracted was clear of any impurities.
"Ding! Detected host is at the Magic Capital underground relic excavation site, would you like to check in?"
What a great stroke of luck!
Has it arrived already?
Song Yun clicked the \'Yes\' button with joy.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for the successful check-in, rewarded with top-level archaeology skills and top-level alertness capabilities!"
"Note: The underground relics are generally filled with mechanisms; top-level alertness will ensure the host remains unharmed!"
What a great item!
First came the ability to appraise treasures, and now archaeology skills, this is simply preparation for today!
"Song, you rest here for now, I\'m going to follow Professor Yan down," Ouyang Jie said, putting on a gas mask, his voice buzzing.
"Can I come along?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jie was taken aback, looking at Song Yun in disbelief, "It\'s extremely dangerous down there, easy to get hurt, contaminated with bacteria, and then end up with an infection, are you sure?"
