For a Thesis, Did You Rob Qin Shi Huang’s Tomb?

Jiang Ming transmigrates to another world and becomes a senior college student majoring in archaeology.

With graduation approaching, his teacher assigns a thesis on the theme of "the bearing and spirit of the Qin Dynasty." His classmates go to museums, read historical records for reference, or personally visit places like the Terracotta Warriors; all of it is far too ordinary.

That immediately leaves Jiang Ming at a loss.

Fortunately, a popularity system activates, and at the start he receives a basic tomb-robbing knowledge pack. The higher his popularity, the more rewards he can obtain, and by exploring mountains and ancient tombs he can even gain items from ancient legends!

Nine Li sorcery blood, ancient martial techniques, shamanic poisons and secret lore, Luban techniques...

Sink-born gu, twin shadow barrier, golden silkworm gu, divination by wind...

...

Jiang Ming simply decides to visit the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum himself.

And then the whole style of the story changes!

"Good grief, a mausoleum sealed for thousands of years is opened just like that, and more than three thousand blood corpses kneel the moment it does?!"

"The Mercury River is just for show, and the mechanism array is child’s play?"

"The place that even a group of professors never managed to enter back then, and you found the true hidden location of the First Emperor?!"

"At the nineteenth underground level, deep in the burial chamber, there’s actually an ancient divine secret that Qin Shi Huang did not want exposed?!"

...

And when all of this is exposed, Jiang Ming’s advisor is completely dumbfounded:

"Just to write your graduation thesis, you even dared to rob Qin Shi Huang’s tomb?! And you even call it second development?!"
