Summon the Mummy, The Archaeologists Are Here!

Ding!

"Begin to unlock Level 2 Merchant Shop!"

With the notification sound, Vincent's merit points immediately increased by 10,000. Before this, he had few points left.

At the same time, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.

This was the Merchant Shop interface of the system. Now, the Level 2 interface had also been activated outside the original Level 1 Merchant Shop.

Vincent hurriedly checked the items and prices in the Level 2 Merchant Shop.

Mummy, 5,000 merit points

Oasis Dwarf, 6,000 merit points

Giant Salamander, 7,000 merit points

Legion of Anubis, 13,000 merit points for each monster

Amon's Bloodline (Sun God), 4,500 merit points (Evolution possible)

Cat Goddess's Bloodline, 3,000 merit points

...

Vincent's mind stirred and a list of goods immediately appeared in his head.

"Such a great variety. As expected of a Level 2 Merchant Shop."

Vincent was momentarily dazzled by what he saw. There were many items in the Level 2 Merchant Shop. Apart from the different kinds of tomb guardian beasts, there were actually all kinds of bloodlines too.

Moreover, the guardian monsters were much stronger than those in the Level 1 Merchant Shop.

Not bad!

Awesome!

The Level 1 Merchant Shop only had monsters like sacred scarabs. Although they were scary, they would not be able to defend against modern technologies.

For instance, sacred scarabs could be burned to ashes with enough flamethrowers.

And fire ladybugs could be killed by explosives.

However, the monsters in the Level 2 Merchant Shop were not something that ordinary firearms could contend against.

Looking at the dazzling array of items, Vincent was unable to make up his mind.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Although the items in the Level 2 Merchant Shop were powerful, he only had 10,500 merit points.

Many items in the Merchant Shop cost more than 10,000 points.

He was too poor!

For example, every monster in the Legion of Anubis cost 13,000 points.

Although those monsters were as strong as demons, he could not afford them at all.

Sigh…

To be honest, before Vincent transmigrated, he had seen many works about tomb raiding.

Those strange and powerful creatures in mysterious ancient tombs were indeed the guardians of the tombs.

The thought of being able to transform the Great Pyramid of Giza into such an impregnable fortress excited Vincent.

But for now, he had to be more practical.

Currently, the most important task for him was to quickly equip the pyramid with defensive measures that were effective against even firearms.

Oasis dwarfs and giant salamanders were good choices.

However, they were too expensive. They should be placed on the top floor of the pyramid.

He did not want grave robbers to venture so deep.

How about mummies?

That was a good choice.

They only cost 5,000 points each. Besides, according to the system description, mummies could absorb spiritual essence from people and gradually become immune to fire and water.

Moreover, there seemed to be no limit to the growth of a mummy. Perhaps it could evolve and become comparable to a deity in the future.

"Alright!"

"This is it!"

Vincent made up his mind and immediately exchanged for a mummy.

Then, he went up the stairs that the grave robbers hadn't been able to climb before. From there, he could see a straight path.

It was called the ascending passage.

It was about 20 meters wide.

Following the passage, there was a vertical tunnel leading to the next floor.

Speaking of the interior structure of pyramids, he could not help but admire the high standard of ancient Egyptian architecture.

Back then, they did not have any high-tech equipment, yet they still managed to build such a pyramid using huge rocks.

Thud!

Vincent's mind stirred, and the mummy was placed in the second-floor passageway.

The mummy was still asleep, and it would only wake up when it sensed the presence of a living person. Of course, as its master, Vincent could wake it up at any time.

Now that he had put the tomb guardian beasts at the right places, he had to focus on improving himself.

That's right.

He could now control the sacred scarabs and the mummy.

But Vincent felt that as the gravekeeper of the Great Pyramid of Giza, his own strength was also important.

Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing if he ran into a physically strong tomb raider in the future but failed to defeat them.

With that thought in mind, he shifted his gaze to the bloodlines in the Merchant Shop.

Cat Goddess's Bloodline? What the hell is that?

Vincent looked at the description. Cat Goddess's Bloodline: the bloodline of Bastet, the goddess of healing.

Merging with this bloodline grants instantaneous recovery regardless of the injuries suffered, so long as the Host is still alive.

It sounded nice, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that it was useless.

Didn't this mean that he could do nothing but be beaten repeatedly after merging with this bloodline?

Vincent pursed his lips. This bloodline was too weak.

Then, he cast his gaze toward Amon's Bloodline.

"Oh? Amon?"

Vincent's nickname was actually Amon. It seemed like they were fated.

According to the system, Amon was the God of Trickery, the Sun God, and also the King of Gods in Ancient Egypt.

The Sun God and the King of Gods. Vincent was impressed when he heard that.

Did that mean that he had a chance to become a deity after merging with it?

Immortality?

That would be awesome!

Vincent's mind stirred and made the purchase.

However, he did not know that as he unlocked the Level 2 Merchant Shop, the group of World Archaeological Congress researchers had already entered the tomb.

This time, it was the two professors who had entered, Kohler and Taylor.

And two of their students, a guy, and a girl. The rest were the staff members from the broadcast team.

"So this is the passage to the Great Pyramid of Giza?"

The beautiful hostess looked at the bottomless grave tunnel, and for some reason, she felt uneasy.
