Upper Capital.
Inside Lin's Papercraft Shop, located near Panjia Garden.
Lin Changsheng lay on a reclining chair, holding a scroll in his hands. It was inscribed with the words "Lin's Twelve Volumes of Spells" in small, plum blossom-shaped seal script.
This was an ancestral legacy.
Because the Lin family had produced a Heavenly Master, it was mandated that every generation of Lin descendants had to memorize these scrolls.
The contents within the scrolls had been committed to memory by Lin Changsheng long ago, he could even recite them backwards.
Unfortunately, these were peaceful times, and cremation was the norm. As for those spells, he never had the opportunity to test them, and he had no idea if they were real or even workable.
Lin Changsheng didn't know.
He had been reborn into this world of tomb raiders for eighteen years now.
As the heir to this generation's Lin's Papercraft Shop, his daily work was to watch over the shop.
He started work at six in the evening and finished at midnight.
A six-hour workday, it was considerably easier than other office workers, but because of the nature of his job, few people were willing to interact with him.
After all, most people felt it was bad luck.
However, Lin Changsheng enjoyed the quiet. After all, interacting with people required much more effort than interacting with paper.
“Bang bang bang!!!”
At this moment, a knock came at the door, and a fat man with a backpack swaggered in.
Lin Changsheng heard the footsteps but didn't get up, still maintaining a state of eyes closed in contemplation. He spoke lightly, "Customer, are you looking for gold ingots, houses and cars, or perhaps a pair of golden boys and jade girls?"
One sentence encompassed all the things available in the mortal realm, they had it all here.
The fat man, named Wang Kaixuan, panted as he spoke, “Do you have any good stuff? Fat man here needs it urgently!”
He then reached into his pocket and handed a business card to Lin Changsheng, who was lying on the chair, while patting him on the shoulder, “Introduced by a friend!”
Lin Changsheng opened his eyes, glanced at Wang Kaixuan, then at the business card in his hand.
It was a recommendation from Big Golden Tooth, the famous figure in Panjia Garden. Judging from his appearance, it was undoubtedly Wang Kaixuan.
Lin Changsheng understood, "An expert?"
Wang Kaixuan lowered his head, getting close to Lin Changsheng, "Get me the best stuff from your shop!"
Lin Changsheng rose from the reclining chair, "Just a moment!"
He naturally knew what good stuff Wang Kaixuan wanted. It was nothing more than items for warding off evil spirits.
Tomb raiders, the tomb robbers, are experts at their craft. And when it comes to dealing with the dead, Lin Changsheng is a professional.
Lin Changsheng walked into the partition, took out a yellow talisman from an antique box, then packaged it in another brocade pouch.
Then, he walked to Wang Kaixuan and said loudly, "Ancestral heirloom, one less with each use. Fixed price, ten thousand!"
“Huh?”
Wang Kaixuan’s head tilted slightly upward, his eyes widened, his tone instantly becoming serious, "What did you say? Ten thousand?"
“You might as well go out and rob someone!”
Lin Changsheng smiled, "You experts get a year's worth of food from a single job, while this treasure of mine can ensure your life is safe! Tell me, who gets the better deal?"
“Since you were introduced by Big Golden Tooth, you must know that my Lin's Papercraft Shop has a Heavenly Master in its lineage.”
“Whether it's effective or not, I imagine you wouldn't have come here without checking, would you?"
Wang Kaixuan was momentarily speechless by Lin Changsheng's words.
But Lin Changsheng wasn't wrong.
The items from Lin's Papercraft Shop were indeed quite effective. The last time an expert went to a large tomb, if it wasn't for the items from Lin's Papercraft Shop to protect him, he wouldn't have been able to come out alive.
After coming out, that person directly lived off that single job for the rest of his life, worry-free for the rest of his days.
But that was under the condition of getting the items. What if he didn't get anything?
Wouldn't he lose everything!
Besides, the price really was too high!
Wang Kaixuan gave a pleasant smile, "Lin Xiaoge, could you give me a friends' price?"
Thinking that with such a friendly smile, he could at least get a discount.
“I also live in Panjia Garden, we're neighbors. How about this, one thousand, and if I come out alive, I'll give you two thousand more!”
Who knew that Lin Changsheng would simply blurt out, "Suit yourself! I have something to do today, closing early!"
Wang Kaixuan was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't think Lin Changsheng's stuff wasn't worth the price, it was that he was simply strapped for cash and couldn't afford it!
He gritted his teeth, forget it!
Wang Kaixuan took out his tomb raider's talisman, finally mustering the courage, "Fat man here will pawn this with you, tell me if it's worth it!"
He had made a significant decision.
While the effect of the tomb raider's talisman was not as good as the stuff from Lin's Papercraft Shop, for them tomb raiders, it was a symbol of faith.
Their lucky charm.
Lin Changsheng glanced at the talisman, a string of information suddenly popped up in his mind.
【Detected a green word strip (Ward off Evil) on the tomb raider's talisman, do you want to plunder?】
Lin Changsheng took the talisman, then threw it back to Wang Kaixuan.
Wang Kaixuan was somewhat surprised. His talisman was the real deal, and it was long-lasting, while the stuff from the paper shop was a consumable item. Even if the effect wasn't as good, it was definitely valuable.
He had been rejected for the first time.
If that was the case, he would just leave, no big deal.
Lin Changsheng looked at the troubled Wang Kaixuan and said, "No need to pawn, I'll just give it to you. Just as you said before, but remember to pay after you get the item!"
“Okay! Okay! Okay!”
Wang Kaixuan was overjoyed, he almost thought he was going to go home empty-handed!
In reality, Lin Changsheng was also afraid that Wang Kaixuan would run off, after all, every successful deal counts.
His items were used by a select few, mostly experts, so encountering a big spender was not easy.
On this side, Wang Kaixuan hastily emptied his pockets and paid one thousand yuan, then carefully held the treasure given to him by Lin Changsheng and left.
He was afraid that Lin Changsheng would change his mind. From ten thousand to three thousand, a total of seven thousand yuan chopped off, Fat man here really is a master bargainer.
If you want to bargain, look for Fat Man!
After Wang Kaixuan left.
Lin Changsheng rubbed his temples, focusing his thoughts.

Then, Lin Changsheng walked into his talisman crafting room and began to craft a new Suppressing Evil Talisman.
