The cat didn't want to come over?
Zhang Zian answered truthfully, but the four young men found it hard to believe. They didn't know how to respond.
Wei Kang was worried that they would argue when they met, so he changed the topic. "Cats are all very cold. You know that. Let me introduce you first … Gao Ke, you first."
Gao Ke was the guy with a medium build and strong muscles.
Now that the temperature was rising, he had already put on a sleeveless shirt to show off the muscles on his arms. He smiled. "My name is Gao Ke, third year. I like to work out and play games. I've been looking forward to setting off for a long time to see if Egypt is like in Assassin's Creed: Origins. If possible, I'll do a leap of faith! Haha! "
Wei Kang was not very satisfied. "If you used your passion for playing games on your studies, your studies wouldn't be in danger. If you continue like this, you'll have to postpone your graduation."
Gao Ke stuck out his tongue.
The big fatty pointed at Gao Ke and said to Zhang Zian, "Don't listen to his bullsh * t. He likes to play games, but his skills are terrible. He uses a modifier when he's single player, and he drags down his teammates when he's playing online. If he asks you to play games, don't agree … Hey, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists!"
Halfway through, Gao Ke, who had been exposed, pretended to be angry and wanted to beat him up.
The two of them messed around for a while before the fatty introduced himself. "My name is Xiao Tianyu, second year. Gender: male, likes women. Height: 175. Weight a secret. Single mother. I've given up on this world that looks and money. If only I could bring back an Egyptian beauty from Egypt this time …"
Zhang Zian was a little sad.
The tall, thin, bespectacled boy followed Xiao Tianyu's words. He was a little nervous. "My name is Du Xuetao, second year. Um … I don't have any special hobbies."
Xiao Tianyu put his arm around his shoulder and added on for Zhang Zian, "This is our department's top student. His hobby is studying. Before I met him, I really didn't know that there was someone who really liked to study."
Wei Kang interrupted unhappily. "What's wrong with liking to study? A student's biggest task is to study. You guys should learn more from Xuetao. "
It seemed that Du Xuetao was a bit of a nerd, and his body was too thin. Zhang Zian was a little worried about whether his small body could withstand the test of field exploration.
Finally, it was the freckled girl's turn to speak. She had just received a soft rebuff from Zhang Zian, so she said unhappily, "My name is He He, Yanyi. Don't call me hehe."
After they finished their introductions, they were also very interested in Zhang Zian. They all asked Zhang Zian about him, because they felt that since he could become the special consultant of the expedition team, he should have some skills, right?
Zhang Zian answered truthfully, "I'm actually a pet shop owner. I sell cats, dogs, and all kinds of saltwater fish and corals. I'm an undergraduate, and I didn't study biology. I'm very flattered to be able to participate in this scientific examination as a special consultant. Thank you, Professor Wei Kang, for your favor … By the way, if you or your relatives or friends want to buy a pet, you're welcome to come to my shop. I guarantee that I'm a fair trade."
"…"
The four young men looked at each other. Zhang Zian's self-introduction was too ordinary and unscrupulous. His education was average, and he had no special resume. How did Wei Kang like him? Was there some kind of shady deal involved?
If that was the case, then he probably got into the expedition team through the back door by relying on the fact that he had a suspected primitive Egyptian cat.
Thinking of this, He He curled her lips in disdain. She had completely forgotten that she had also successfully passed the postgraduate exam because of her identity as a girl.
Although the other three boys didn't say anything, their eyes clearly showed contempt.
Wei Kang frowned slightly. He usually paid attention to Zhang Zian and knew that he had several other identities besides his most commonly used identity as a pet shop owner. Any one of them could make these four arrogant students who had never left the school gates gasp in amazement.
Zhang Zian didn't say it himself, so Wei Kang wondered if he should explain it for Zhang Zian. At that moment, there was another knock on the office door. A man about 40 years old walked in with a book under his arm. Looking at his attire and temperament, he also looked like a teacher from Binhai University.
Wei Kang quickly went up to greet him and introduced him to the others. "This is Teacher Luo, who teaches in our school's History Department. I specially invited Teacher Luo over to cram on the relevant knowledge of ancient Egypt for the next few days so that you don't get scared when you go. You have to listen carefully! I'll listen with you too. "
"Hello, Teacher Luo."
The four postgraduate students greeted him, and Zhang Zian just nodded in greeting.
Teacher Luo also nodded in response. He exchanged a few words with Wei Kang, found a chair to sit down on, and said to everyone helplessly, "Professor Wei invited me over, so I can't refuse. But ancient Egypt is the country with the longest history, the first country established by humans. I really don't have a clue how to compress this long history into a few hours to explain it clearly to you … How about this, today is the first day. Do you have any questions?"
Before the others could speak, He He spoke first with a sharp and crisp voice, "Teacher Luo, I have a question to ask."
"Please ask, as long as it's about ancient Egypt," Teacher Luo said.
He He glanced at the three boys and Zhang Zian, then said proudly, "Teacher Luo, I heard a rumor that in the early 1990s, Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Masu and his colleagues dug up an ancient tomb from 4,000 years ago and found a long-extinct cat guarding the tomb. It was said that this ancient tomb belonged to Pharaoh Cheluboze IV and was found eight meters below the Valley of the Kings. Dr. Masu opened the stone door of the tomb and entered the tomb with a lantern, only to find a big gray cat staring at them with yellow-green eyes. Its body was like a small leopard, and it hissed at them to scare them and tried to attack them with its teeth. Dr. Masu and his colleagues fought off the cat and successfully captured it back to the laboratory. Unfortunately, after it was brought back to the laboratory, its health condition deteriorated rapidly, and it died within a few hours. Dr. Masu planned to do further research on the cat's body. "
She took a breath and continued, "What I want to ask is that one of our goals for this trip is to try to find traces of the original Egyptian cat and evidence of its existence. Is this cat the target we're looking for? If that's the case, why don't we directly contact Dr. Masu and ask him for relevant information about this cat? "
