I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 625 - 623 I Suddenly Feel Like Laughing

"Menglong, I can let you skip classes and don't require you to attend project assignments, but you should at least show up for the final exams. If all the exam sections in your file are empty, it's going to be tough for me to graduate you!"

"Alright, alright Teacher Han, I'll come," Zhang Menglong shook his head helplessly. He thought he could completely escape from school. Had he known earlier, he would have accepted the offer from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology to be a distinguished professor.

Wouldn't that title of distinguished professor trump any graduate or doctoral student? If he wanted, he could easily become an academician in any country.

"Ah, another unremarkable year has passed," Zhang Menglong slouched on the sofa. He had been idle for a long time, spending his days at the Super God Academy slacking off, and discussing the origins of humanity with Lu Yiyao at night. Life without showing off really is lonely as snow.

There were now over 50 teachers at the Super God Academy, but Zhang Menglong encountered something quite troublesome: it was getting harder and harder to earn Cred Points!

You see, when he was unknown, anything he did caused a sensation, even cruising the streets in a sports car would earn him heaps of Cred Points.

But now? The threshold for showing off kept getting higher, and Cred Points harder to come by. After unlocking a batch of new teachers, his Cred Points had dwindled to almost nothing.

"Actually, just leading a calm and stable life seems pretty nice." Zhang Menglong scrolled through Weibo out of boredom when suddenly a news alert piqued his curiosity.

"Qingqiu Country unearthed a relic, discovering a multitude of cultural artifacts and evidence of human activity, even signs representing civilization, suspected to be from a once prosperous kingdom!"

"Oh? Such a tiny place actually had remnants of an ancient civilization?" Zhang Menglong was somewhat surprised. It seemed this civilization had a very distant past. Naturally, because there were few photos and they were all external, he couldn't make much of a judgment.

"Who knows what stuff this group will come up with," thought Zhang Menglong, critical of a nation that, to its core, suffers from an inferiority complex, doing nothing but pilfering from other countries and messing around with heritage applications. He guessed that with such a civilization unearthed, this country would once again consider itself the center of the universe.

However, to be fair, it was indeed a stunning archaeological discovery. This ancient kingdom was built around an active volcano and seemed to have been buried due to an eruption, reminiscent of the ancient city of Pompeii.

Experts, after preliminary estimates, stated that the underlying layers had at least two or three thousand years of history, which means this country was already established before the Common Era!

Qingqiu, as a nation, had a history of being destroyed and recreated repeatedly; strictly speaking, its history spanned just over a hundred years. Compared to a five-thousand-year-old civilization like Huaxia, it was utterly insignificant.

But they never accepted this. What wasn't theirs, they claimed as their own, always conjuring up some mischief. Any nation that had ever appeared in that region, regardless of any actual connection to Qingqiu Country, was claimed as their history.

Even so, this patchwork of histories was barely half as long as Huaxia's civilization.

Yet they never stopped striving to make their civilization shine brighter and stronger. Such a monumental archaeological discovery had the historians of the entire Qingqiu Country in cerebral ecstasy.

Goodness gracious, at least two to three thousand years of history! That's older than the earliest record of modern human civilization in their dilapidated place, and it might even predate their old neighbor Huaxia, one of the four great ancient civilizations.

How could they sleep without showing off this to the whole world?

The very night the ancient kingdom was discovered, Qingqiu Country formed an expedition team. In order to increase the team's influence, they extended invitations to archaeologists worldwide, hoping they would come together to excavate this great civilization.

While it sounded like a generous act, it was clearly a boastful display!

"Come see! Our country had a state existence thousands of years ago, aren't we impressive?"

This sentence might as well have been written directly across the faces of the Qingqiu archaeologists.

Though the invitees felt a bit uneasy, based on current information, the civilization of this ancient country did seem very old, possibly even older than that of the four great ancient civilizations.

If they missed out on excavating this civilization, it would truly be regrettable, so those archaeologists set aside their grievances and rushed to Qingqiu from all over the world.

The excavation was proceeding frantically, with many finely crafted artifacts being unearthed from the ruins. After carbon-12 isotope testing, these artifacts were found to be over 5000 years old!

The world's earliest civilization, the Babylonian civilization, only had a history of so many years!

With this result, the entire Qingqiu Country went mad!

5000 years of history, the oldest Babylonian civilization dates back to 3500 years ago, doesn't that mean their history might even predate the four great ancient civilizations?

Even though at that time their ancestors may have been slaves somewhere, unknown to them, as long as it was on their land, those were their ancestors. If they felt there was a bloodline connection, then there was one, and no one else's words mattered!

"It turns out we are the nation with the most ancient history in the world!"

"The world should now recognize the existence of five great ancient civilizations!"

"What five great ancient civilizations, the title of the four great ancient civilizations can't be changed, the country with the shortest history should just roll out, this title belongs to us Qingqiu!"

"This is a significant archaeological discovery; this day should be recorded in the history books!"

...

In those large international forums related to history and entertainment, suddenly a large number of Qingqiu Country screen names appeared, as if the event had activated the bloodline sleeping within their DNA.

They had only one goal: to let the whole world know that this newly emerging civilization was theirs, Qingqiu Country's civilization!

The ancient country was immediately patented by the people of Qingqiu Country and submitted for various cultural heritage registrations, as if they feared someone might steal it.

"I'm speechless, since when does anyone owning the land where something is found mean they own its history?"

"Then if our country has a bunch of dinosaur fossils, does that mean our country becomes the birthplace of dinosaurs?"

"Haha, if their country finds traces of ancient apes, are they going to claim that their country is the origin of humans?"

"I'm dying of laughter, but I haven't completely died yet, a bunch of people who don't even know their own ancestors are here talking about the new four great ancient civilizations. Back in that era, their Qingqiu ancestors didn't even know where they were struggling to survive.

This kind of pathological sense of superiority instantly triggered ridicule from all netizens.

But at this moment, Qingqiu Country announced another astonishing discovery, they had found a place resembling an altar underground in this ancient city.

And at this location, there was a gigantic gold structure over five meters tall! It was not the kind of building you would live in, rather a golden symbol that seemed to represent the totem of this great civilization.

That more than 5000 years ago, someone could refine gold with such high purity and forge it into this form, and even maintain its luster after 5000 years today, the technology is absolutely far beyond what should have been possible in that era.

This was nothing short of a new miracle! Its existence might even be compared to the likes of the Sphinx of Giza of Egypt, the Hanging Gardens and other wonders, with some historical scholars from Qingqiu Country even suggesting this artifact might have been left by extraterrestrials, making the whole thing more mysterious and outrageous!

"This thing?" Zhang Menglong stared at the symbol, his face suddenly becoming somewhat stiff.

"Why do I suddenly feel like laughing."
