An Accident, This Must Be an Accident!

In fact, with Hong Dali's superior luck, he thought that there might be an alien spaceship, perhaps an entrance to some ancient high-tech civilization, or at the very least an ancient tomb that he could explore! Why else would there be such a huge pangolin guarding the entrance of a place with such high standards? In the end, the only thing here was a lonely broken stone. What was so interesting about that?

So, Hong Dali pouted and sat down, disheartened. "It's just a broken thing. I thought it might be something fun… Eh?" He felt something strange as he sat down—there was something hard under his butt…

"What's this?" Hong Dali got up and felt the ground. He found a small ring-like object. The object was made of neither gold nor jade. It looked more like just stone. Its shape, however, was very interesting. It was covered with unidentified carvings, with a circular hole in the middle. The shape was not unlike thumb rings worn by dignitaries of old.
