“What you’re seeing now is a weapon called Khopesh. This weapon that looks like a scimitar is widely seen in ancient Egypt novels and movies, but very few people know its exact name. Khopesh was the symbol of the ancient Egypt Warriors. It was about 50 to 60 centimeters long and had blades on both sides. The outer side was used to cut the enemy’s body and cause deep wounds, while the inner side was used to hook and cut, catching the enemy’s weapons and shields to create an opening in the enemy’s movements. “Due to the use of overall casting technology and the progress of smelting technology in ancient Egypt, Khopesh is more powerful than the daggers used by the Roman soldiers on the battlefield …”

An elegant woman in a professional suit was explaining an ancient Egypt scimitar in the display cabinet to the tourists.

The scimitar was made of bronze and lay quietly on the dark red velvet. Under the light, it shimmered with the dark yellow light unique to copper. It looked very old, but it did not rust. Perhaps the hot and dry weather of ancient Egypt kept it in good condition until it was dug out by archaeologists one day after being buried deep in the sand.

The guide’s in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation made the tourists feel enlightened. They all praised the curved sword made by the ancient Egyptians and picked up their cameras or mobile phones to take pictures of it.

She looked dignified with her hands crossed in front of her lower abdomen and a natural smile on her face. She patiently waited for the tourists ‘desire to take photos to be satisfied.

“Xiao Li, come over for a moment.” A balding man with a big belly stopped her.”Let Xiao Liu explain it to you first.”

“Chief, what’s the matter?”

She walked over in her high heels, her steps steady and full of rhythm. She was not inferior to the models on the runway.

“Li, this is professor Wei Kang from Binhai University.” The head of the museum introduced them to her.

She extended her hand to professor Wei Kang.”Hello, professor Wei. Nice to meet you. I’m Li Ao, an assistant researcher and commentator at Binhai Museum.”

Wei Kang shook hands with her.”Hello, Miss Li. I’ll cut to the chase and get straight to the point.”

“Please speak.” Li Ao listened carefully.

The big-bellied director took his leave.

“It’s like this. I’ll be leading an expedition team to the Sahara Desert in Egypt soon to carry out a scientific activity. For the sake of confidentiality, I can’t tell you the details of the research for the time being. I can only say that we’re looking for a special pyramid. Actually, we were once close to it, but due to a natural disaster, it was buried by the yellow sand. I heard that you have a deep understanding of ancient Egypt culture, second to none in Binhai city and the province, so I’m here to invite you to join our team. What do you think?”

Wei Kang explained the purpose of his visit and added,””Of course, I came suddenly, and this matter is of great importance. You can take your time to think about it. You don’t have to rush to answer.”

She frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Zhang Zian, who was beside Wei Kang.”Is he also a member of the expedition team?”

“Oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is the special consultant of the expedition team. He also followed us the whole time when we entered the desert last time. Without him, we might not have been able to get out of the desert … Xiao Zhang, you tell us.” Wei Kang said.

Zhang Zian was speechless.

Why do I have to accompany you to act?

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say,””My name is Zhang Zian, and I run a pet shop in Binhai city.”

“Nice to meet you. Professor Wei has such a high evaluation of you, you must be hiding your true strength. ”

She shook his hand again. Her palm was delicate but strong.

What did he mean by ‘hidden’…

Zhang Zian was completely acting. He wasn’t famous, yet he was forced to make up the numbers and had to pretend that he didn’t know each other to introduce himself to people he knew.

Well … He admitted that when he first entered the museum with Wei Kang, he really did not recognize this elegant guide, and did not even realize that it was a dream.

Everything seemed to make sense. Wei Kang was still holding a grudge against the Golden Pyramid buried in the yellow sand. Due to the success of the last scientific examination, Binhai University had approved his application for the next one. Since they were going to the same place for the examination, they had to try to keep the same team, so it was not surprising that Zhang Zian was called. It was reasonable.

It wasn’t until she was called over by the museum director that he recognized the woman under the alias Li Ao from her eyes. She was actually Cleopatra the seventh, and this was obviously a dream.

That’s right, other than her, how many people could know the weapons of ancient Egypt like family treasures?

While she and Wei Kang were discussing the details of the expedition, Zhang Zian strolled around.

Among the group of tourists, there was a woman in a traditional Chinese dress. He did not notice her before because she was surrounded by the tourists. Now that the other tourists had gone to visit other places, she was the only one who stayed where she was. She was carefully studying the scimitar named Khopesh. If he still could not see it, he would be blind.

“I say, what are they playing at this time?” He walked to her side and asked,”you city people really know how to have fun …”

Zhuang Xiaodie didn’t even turn her face, as if she knew that he would come over and also expected him to ask this. She replied casually,””Isn’t it very interesting?”

“What’s the point? You’re playing an RPG game, so why are you dragging me along?” He said helplessly,”I’m tired to death in the day. At night, I dream and am dragged here to be a able-bodied man. I’m too difficult. I must have been a math problem in my previous life.”

“The math questions aren’t difficult at all. They’re full of beauty.” She retorted.

It was a Brainiac’s speech!

Zhang Zian had no other expression except for sighing and a bitter smile.

Zhuang Xiaodie looked back at Cleopatra the seventh, who was enjoying himself, and said,””She asked me to arrange this.”

“Arrange for her to be a guide?” He asked.

Logically speaking, if one could arrange their roles in the world at will, most ordinary people would arrange for themselves to be an Emperor, President, billionaire, sports star, celebrity, Kato masa … And other top successful people to enjoy the pleasure of money, power, and sex.

If Zhang Zian were to choose, he might also choose to reincarnate as one of those people. After all, he could win by lying down.

However, she chose to become an ordinary person, a staff member of the museum. In addition to doing research every day, she also had to explain the collection of the museum to tourists.

“Yes, she wants to live a different life. She wants to be an ordinary person, but she doesn’t want to be as dull as ordinary people. She will occasionally be involved in exciting adventures … Similar to you.” Zhuang Xiaodie turned to look at him.

“Almost the same as me?”

Zhang Zian was stunned.

The life that he was used to was actually envied by the Pharaoh of the last generation, who had lived a magnificent life and enjoyed wealth?

This was really … What one couldn’t get was the best!
