“Name?”

“Jin Yuchen.”

“Age?”

“22.”

…

Jin Yuchen was staring at the familiar ceiling in a daze when he was interrupted by an angry knock on the table.

“Hey! We’re recording your statement, be more serious!”

Jin Yuchen looked at the angry police officer and said, “Uncle, I’ve told you everything. Please, let me go. I really have nothing else to say.”

The police officer he called ‘Uncle’ had blue veins popping out on his forehead as he questioned angrily, “You’re definitely hiding something! You alone can defeat twelve people?

“Tell me! Who is your accomplice!”

Jin Yuchen said innocently, “Uncle, it’s obvious that more than a dozen people ganged up on me. I was just defending myself. I really don’t have any accomplices.

“How did it become me beating up more than ten people? No one would believe this, okay?”

As he spoke, Jin Yuchen felt his consciousness fade and fell into the chair.

“Hey, hey, don’t play dead!”

“Jin Yuchen? Jin Yuchen?”

…

The memories of Jin Yuchen’s previous life kept flowing into his mind.

In 2050, tombs that should have never existed, such as Genghis Khan’s, the Wolf and the Deer’s, the Roman Kings’, and Solomon’s Mausoleum, appeared all over the world.

Defeating the tomb owner would give one a treasure, and the person holding the treasure would gain extraordinary abilities.

It was known as the Era of Great Tomb Raiders.

In this era, Jin Yuchen was a Tomb Raider nicknamed Goldfinger and had never lost a battle.

In an American jungle, on the flat-top pyramid…

“So this is the SSS-rank treasure, the Spacetime Heart?”

Jin Yuchen looked at the beating heart in his hand, intoxicated.

“Put ir down! Yuchen!”

The blonde woman behind him pointed a gun barrel that could fit a fist at him.

“Louise, we no longer neet to rely on the organization with this.”

Jin Yuchen turned around and raised his hands. “So, don’t be nervous. There’s no need for conflict between us, right?”

The blonde woman closed her eyes, and a line of tears flowed from the corner of her eyes. “I’m sorry, Yuchen.”

Jin Yuchen scratched his itchy head.

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Besides, you don’t think that thing in your hand can do anything to me, do you?

“If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you, but you can’t stop me from regaining my freedom, right?”

‘We’re just having s*x, not having a child. At most, we’ll just break up. Women are so hard to coax…’

The blonde woman cried, “I’m sorry, Yuchen. My sister is in their hands.”

Jin Yuchen’s expression changed. “Wait a minute. Are you—”

The sound of an emergency alarm came from Louise’s body, and then a white light filled Jin Yuchen’s vision.

“F*ck!”

This was Jin Yuchen’s last word.

When he opened his eyes again, the pure white ceiling reflected in his eyes. An unknown IV bottle was hanging on the infusion rack.

The extra memories in his mind gave him a headache, and he subconsciously raised his hand to rub his head.

Then, his right hand was pressed down by a pair of warm hands with calluses.

“Don’t move. You’re still on IV. What if the needle is removed?”

‘Senior Sister?’

The familiar touch and sound felt like a lifetime ago.

No, it was a lifetime apart.

Jin Yuchen looked at the familiar figure beside the bed and was a little stunned.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Jiang Hu looked at him nervously, her voice full of worry.

“Do you want me to call the nurse over?”

Jin Yuchen shook his head and said, “No need, no need. I’m still in good health.”

Jiang Hu looked at his gradually recovering spirit and felt a little relieved. “Pfft, would you faint for no reason when you’re in good health?”

“I didn’t,” replied Jin Yuchen. “I accidentally got hit by a stick.”

“Ah, right, I was at the police station. Where are the police officers?”

Jiang Hu was relieved to hear Jin Yuchen’s calm tone. After all, he had experienced even more serious injuries while training in martial arts.

“Oh you, the police officers are even more nervous than I was when you fell unconscious.

“We were in the middle of an interrogation when you suddenly fainted. If it wasn’t for the video, we wouldn’t have been able to explain it.

“You can’t even get rid of this bad luck, so you’re fine.”

Jin Yuchen looked at Jiang Hu and helplessly replied, “You’re not paying a fine for me, are you?”

“No, no, no.”

Jin Yuchen looked at his Senior Sister and asked, “How much did you pay?”

“I really didn’t!”

Jiang Hu quickly changed the topic. She took an envelope out of her pocket and stuffed it under Jin Yuchen’s right hand.

“Take it.”

“Why?” Jin Yuchen sat up helplessly.

“Lie down! Listen to me.

“You’re not young anymore. How are you going to get a wife in the future if you fight all day?

“There’s 50,000 Yuan here. I’ve asked around about a village house in the suburbs. It’s not a big problem to make a down payment with this money. You just need to find a job and pay off the loan.

“Let’s live our days in peace. Our conditions aren’t that good, so don’t set your sights too high.

“If you see a suitable girl, you can just be thick-skinned and chase her. I’m a woman, so I know that women are afraid of this…”

“Alright, I have a delivery order here. I have to hurry up and make a trip. What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it back for you later.”

Jin Yuchen looked at his Senior Sister and replied helplessly, “Then bring me a bowl of rice noodles.”

When Jiang Hu turned around, Jin Yuchen secretly stuffed the envelope into her pocket with a finger.

Jiang Hu’s martial arts level was higher than Jin Yuchen’s, yet she did not notice his small movements at all.

Jin Yuchen pulled out the butterfly from his hand and changed into his clothes when he saw Jiang Hu rushing out.

‘The battle experience from my previous life can be considered to have been passed down. If it were before, Senior Sister would have definitely discovered it.’

Jin Yuchen walked out of the hospital gate as he mulled over the memories in his head.

It would be a waste of time to stay there.

Jin Yuchen felt a sharp pain in his chest as he recalled the scene of Jiang Hu’s death.

Jiang Hu was his master’s daughter and had been raised as a boy since she was young. Jiang Hu’s name and her valiant temperament were proof of that.

However, his daughter could not inherit the dojo, so his master adopted him as an orphan.

Unfortunately, the dojo’s legacy could no longer be inherited as his master died of leukemia long ago.

Still, Jin Yuchen didn’t expect that the disease was hereditary.

Although it wasn’t impossible to cure her, neither Jiang Hu nor Jin Yuchen had any money in his previous life.

‘It seems like I have to get involved in tomb raiding.

‘I remember that this year just so happens to be the Great Tombs Era’s starting point. Anything that I can find will be enough for expenditure.

‘At least, we won’t have no money for treatment.

‘By the way, which tomb appeared this year?’

Jin Yuchen went through his memories as he walked back to his residence.

The screeching sound of motorcycles echoed through the night sky.

‘Heh, unlucky. I was too absorbed in my thoughts and got surrounded.’

In Jin Yuchen’s field of vision, a row of heavy motorcycles with their headlights on lined up in a line, blocking his path.
