Fox Has No Malicious Intent-Chapter 513 - 511: Classic Plot Points

"Improved den...."

"So... how much money do you have now? I can help you check locations online first, then ask around for you."

Faced with Fat Cat’s request, Ansheng thought for a moment and asked.

Although he didn’t have many connections in Chang’an, Wang Ya had plenty!

The Fox Protection Foundation and all the villain shareholders, nothing is off the table as long as there’s money and it’s legal.

"I have five hundred and sixty-seven thousand." Fat Cat said with a proud expression, revealing the savings of the cat clan.

"How.... how much? About fifty thousand?"

Ansheng’s eyes widened as he looked at Fat Cat, appearing a bit dumbfounded.

Buddy, the house prices in our Xiqi District have a minimum average of sixteen thousand per square.

Considering you have about a hundred bears in your family tree, including black bears and Tibetan brown bears, even if it’s like dormitory living, you’d still need to buy a seven hundred square meter place, right?

The one I live in at Phoenix City District, including furniture, was over a thousand, I remember.

"Right!"

Fat Cat spoke with a mix of pride and a bit of embarrassment: "I haven’t been working long, and I like to dabble in express delivery services, so my fixed deposits are limited..."

"So, I was just asking if Uncle Lucky Fox has any low-cost channels."

"There are, but you might need to time it right and jump into the road. See the ’boom boom boom’ hundred-ton vehicles outside the door? You go out and lie under their wheels, get run over twice, and I have a professional legal team to help you sue."

"As long as you don’t die, you’ll have a villa." Ansheng joked, his face darkened.

"Uh....." Fat Cat looked at those hundred-ton vehicles, swallowed, and said, "That... I wouldn’t survive that."

"You know that too, huh?"

Ansheng gulped down a couple of sips of cola, scratched his itchy scalp, and looked at a room full of Bears, wearing a deep in thought expression.

Fifty thousand... might not even be enough for a down payment.

Moreover, even if these guys buy a house, they can’t be too far from the protection base, otherwise, the daily commute would be too much.

But where near Xinxing Agricultural Science College is there a district? It’s already remote, the only nearby is the Phoenix City District where I live.

Buying commercial housing is unrealistic and inconvenient.

As he thought about it, Ansheng’s eyes lit up and he looked at Fat Cat and asked, "How about.... we build one?"

"You see! Houses are expensive because land is expensive. Xinxing Agricultural Science College has plenty of land, and it’s close to your workplace, just a few steps to get home."

"The experimental fields are undergoing demolition, there are all sorts of large engineering machines, we can borrow them, dig a two-acre basement, pour concrete, then build a disguised wooden house on top."

"The land is free, concrete from the school, the foundation machines are free, not even the fuel cost needs to be paid."

"Don’t mention fifty thousand, five hundred bucks would do, we bring out the Bears to work, the school canteen feeds us, two bowls of rice are enough to dig five cubic meters."

"Is this... alright? Doesn’t it count as stealing?" Fat Cat forgot to correct Uncle Lucky Fox’s improper wording and looked at him with shock.

"Stealing sounds bad, we’re pilfering, pilfering with style. Anyway, your choice is to freeload an improved den, or pay millions to buy land and build a house near the protection base."

"Then.... let’s pilfer!" Fat Cat thought for a moment, feeling Uncle Lucky Fox had a point.

Principal Yang is so bad.

Why think of him when doing things, didn’t even dig out his office foundation, just for the sake of the teaching building.

"Alright! I’ll get the steward to draw up a plan. You organize the manpower, we’ll take action tonight." Ansheng instructed Fat Cat.

Improved den....

Seems quite good, in the future I can hide things that shouldn’t be seen in there, and since it’s within the College of Agriculture, it’s also convenient for me to access.

"Right! We need to find some professional electricians, need to steal electricity and water from the teaching building, neither I nor Fat Cat’s whole family have even a single ID to apply for utilities."

"Blow the fifty thousand on home appliances, then buy an electric sightseeing train for Fat Cat, one train is enough to transport all the Bears from the mountain to the den for a meeting."

"Uh..... Uncle Lucky Fox, we’re cats, not bears." Seeing Uncle Lucky Fox getting excited, Fat Cat timidly spoke up to defend his clan.

......

Taking on Fat Cat’s home demolition business, Ansheng couldn’t even bother with his bowl, quickly ran back to the dormitory, took out his hidden, but powerless phone, and plugged it in.

"You two don’t run around tonight, there’s action, we’re going to build a den in the school."

As he powered it on, Ansheng casually told the tea plant and big cockroach on the balcony.

Lying on the balcony, the tea plant and cockroach, who were curiously watching humans undertake construction, turned back to acknowledge Uncle Lucky Fox.

"Huh? Over a hundred missed calls?"

The phone, just turned on, bombarded with over a hundred missed call notifications, Ansheng was stunned as he opened it to see that nine-tenths of the missed calls were from the same number.

Old Chen almost blew up his phone...

"Oops.... Got too busy with the Ba Mountain Mosquito, totally forgot about the tea contest and consultant fees."

"But no rush with Old Chen..."

Ansheng patted his head and decided to put Old Chen’s matters aside temporarily, then called Lin Bingyun.

When the call connected, Uncle Lucky Fox told Lin Bingyun about the "new den" plan with Fat Cat.

Upon hearing it, Lin Bingyun paused, didn’t immediately agree, and just said a site inspection was needed.

Civil engineering needs to be customized according to the geological environment, a phone call can’t clarify, she’ll come over later.

"Whoa!"

"A new ancient tomb was found!"

While Uncle Lucky Fox was on the call, a commotion arose from the college’s experimental field.

When students blasted concrete for water channels, they unearthed a patch of white soil.

Upon seeing the white tomb sealing soil, the bulldozer and excavator operators’ legs turned to jelly, they jumped out of the machines, crying and lamenting.

The white dust was the sealing soil around an ancient tomb.

Finding tomb sealing soil meant halting work and indefinite construction delays, plus the payment was far off.

"?"

Ansheng typed a question mark slowly, ran to the balcony, and looked towards the lockdown site.

"No..."

"I was just about to steal concrete, and you’ve stopped the work, come on! Continue working, please!"

"Whoa! They pumped out a bronze artifact? Whose Qin Dynasty ancestor was sleeping at the lake bottom?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

As the commotion from the experimental field started, the nearby School of Animal Science Lake also became restless.

Some foreign object clogged the water pump intake, and when the students checked, they retrieved a bronze artifact.

The staff and students at the School of Animal Science were dumbfounded.

Exploding a tomb next door seemed normal, after all, they were cultivating farmland....

But this was an artificial lake! Dug by previous cohorts of staff and students!

Had there been a tomb, they should have discovered it long ago, how could they now pump out Qin Dynasty bronze during water pumping...

A bold thought emerged.

Could it be.....

In past years, staff and students unearthed a tomb but covered it back up as if nothing happened?

A peculiar atmosphere permeated the school.

Only such a hypothesis could explain why, right at the start of the semester at Xinxing Agricultural Science College, they hit the jackpot.

It wasn’t that they were lucky.

But previous students had already dug into these ancient tombs but for some reason, didn’t report it and just covered them back up as if nothing had happened.

The ground itself is a tomb, and surely the slightest touch means hitting the jackpot?

The previous students were kind enough, already removing all they could dig up, leaving only the untouchable stuff.

"Should we... just bury it back? Not tell the principal to avoid delaying teaching progress?"

"That’s not good, is it? It’s an ancient tomb after all."

"What tomb! We didn’t disturb the outer sealing soil, it’s been so many years, burying it a few more won’t change anything. This is experimental land for cultivating Spiritual Particle Plants and student training."

"We’re short-handed everywhere now, how can we let an ancient tomb slow down the education process? If all goes well, a ten-day to half-month delay; if not, it drags on for years.... "

"Then.... let’s bury it back! We old folks can only trust the wisdom of those who come after us."

After some whispering among the professors, they quietly dug earth to fill the excavated white soil back into place, then called students for class as if nothing happened.

Ansheng: "......."
