Under One Person: I Rebuilt Trinity Gate in Modern Times

Chapter 42: Senior Retires to Yunxiao and Gives a Sword
Three freshly printed documents appeared in front of Qin Che.

Each sheet of paper has a different task on it.

Liao Zhong smiled and said, "There hasn't been anything too troublesome recently. You can pick these three, and then you and Chen Duo will deal with them together. I will arrange the rest."

Qin Che was also a little speechless. It was the first time that he had to choose the mission himself.

Then he looked at the three tasks carefully.

The first one is more mysterious. It is a group of tombs discovered in the South China Sea, which seem to contain magical instruments left behind by ancient weapon refiners.

The colleagues over there have already controlled the situation, but people from Quanxing are involved and need support.

The second mission was near an old residential area, where a large number of stray animals often gathered at night and injured many people. The scale of the incident was considered a gathering of beasts, and there were various explanations for the situation, which was similar to an urban legend.

For these kinds of urban rumors, the company's people will investigate and deal with them one by one as long as they have time.

As for the third mission, it seems to be more valuable, as it is an escort mission.

The target is a foreign alien who once sneaked into the company in a strange way and had a lot of important information in his hands. After being discovered while stealing a confidential record two years ago, he has been imprisoned in a bunker controlled by Liao Zhong.

He needs to be transferred to North China recently because the company's headquarters is there.

Before Qin Che finished reading, Liao Zhong suddenly remembered something.

He took the third task directly in his hands.

"I almost forgot, I already have a choice for this one, you can choose from the first two."

From the perspective of security level, the escort mission should be the safest of the three missions, Qin Che asked with some confusion.

"Who arranged it, Uncle Liao? If it's too dangerous, Chen Duo and I will go."

"Don't worry, I have a more suitable candidate, and his overall strength is not worse than you and Chen Duo. Have you heard of Xiang Yunxiao, Mr. Xiang?"

An old and gentle face appeared in Qin Che's mind.

The old man who is now the janitor of the company’s training ground was also a temporary worker in the South China region before Chen Duo.

"I know. Master Xiang has given me some pointers."

Liao Zhong already knew that Qin Che and Xiang Yunxiao had had contact, so he was not too surprised and just continued.

"Well, that's good. Lao Xiang's hometown is in North China, and he is just about to retire and return home, so it's just on the way."

"Is Mr. Xiang going to retire? Retirement is good. I can go home to complete the mission and earn a bonus from the company."

Qin Che was genuinely happy for Xiang Yunxiao. Retiring from a state-owned enterprise was one of the few happy things that happened to him.

"Yeah, I think so too. In fact, Lao Xiang's health has been failing for several years.

“It’s just that I couldn’t let go of the company, so I never quit. Fortunately, you and Chen Duo have both grown up.

He has devoted his entire life to the company. I heard he only has one grandson left in his hometown. He should be able to enjoy his old age in peace.”

Qin Che deeply agreed that there were really too many people in the older generation who were willing to make sacrifices.

Xiang Yunxiao is obviously among them.

After excluding the escort mission, Qin Che chose the urban legend in the old community among the remaining two missions.

As for the ancient tombs in the coastal area, I am not very interested in them.

After all, this is not a fantasy world, and there are not so many ancient treasures worth exploring. Many things made by ancient weapon refiners have been lost to the present, and their true energy has basically dissipated.

In addition, Qin Che himself had some selfish motives. He was too lazy to run so far, so he took Chen Duo for a walk. It shouldn't be too troublesome to deal with the herd of beasts.

Later I can take the opportunity to take Chen Duo to see a movie or something.

Maybe Chen Duo would be interested?

Liao Zhong naturally saw through Qin Che's thoughts, but he also tacitly agreed to this matter in his heart.

Chen Duo's condition has been very good recently, far exceeding Liao Zhong's expectations. Qin Che originally planned to go see Chen Duo in the afternoon.

But because someone from Yaoxing Society came to interview him today, Qin Che did not rashly go to find Chen Duo.

Instead, he returned to his residence first, preparing to go directly with Chen Duo on the mission tomorrow.

Qin Che lying comfortably on the bed.

When I opened my phone, I found that there were a lot of messages accumulated in the green bubble.

The largest group among them is a chat group, which includes Qin Che invited by Lu Linglong, Lu Linglong and her playmates, including Zhi Jinhua.

Lu Lin also sent a message, asking how the matter of Qin Che's three corpses was being handled.

Ao Beiyang would chat and complain every now and then, today he would talk about school gossip, tomorrow he would talk about the progress between him and Liu Ruyan.

Qin Che responded one by one as if he was reviewing memorials.

Only when Ao Beiyang shared with him what happened between him and Liu Ruyan, Qin Che was too lazy to say more.

There's no way to persuade that little licker to come back.

Just simply reply with the word "read" to indicate that you have read it.

While Qin Che was chatting, there was suddenly a knock on the door outside.

Qin Che jumped out of bed, opened the door, and saw a hunchbacked old man standing outside.

It turned out to be Xiang Yunxiao.

He also carried a strip of object wrapped in a long cloth on his back.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Xiang Yunxiao looked a little older.

Especially Qin Che, who had already mastered Dongyuan Temple, was keenly aware at this moment that Xiang Yunxiao's breath was actually very weak. The hidden injuries he suffered when he was young would become particularly serious when he was older.

From Xiang Yunxiao's eyebrows and eyes, we can see that he was also a handsome guy with regular features when he was young.

Qin Che quickly welcomed Xiang Yunxiao in: "Master Xiang, what are you doing?"

Xiang Yunxiao carefully placed the thing wrapped in a long gray cloth on his back on the table.

There was a clanging sound, and there seemed to be an iron object inside.

Xiang Yunxiao smiled awkwardly and said to Qin Che.

"Qin boy, I heard you're back, so I came to see you."

"Hey! Master Xiang, what are you talking about? Just say hello and I'll come to see you. Is it really necessary for you to make a trip?"

Xiang Yunxiao smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm an old man and don't have much to do anyway. It's a good time to move around."

As he spoke, Xiang Yunxiao slowly opened the piece of old grey cloth, revealing a very finely maintained long sword without any fancy decorations.

It looks like an ordinary iron sword.

But Qin Che could feel the sharp sword energy at the first glance.

This is a weapon that has been used in battles countless times by the user to transform and control objects and to feed it with Qi.

Looking at Qin Che who seemed a little confused, Xiang Yunxiao continued: "You should know, I will be going back to my hometown soon. I know my body, and it will only take two or three years for me to go back."

"No, it's a good opportunity to go back and recuperate."

"None of this is important. I have never had any successors in my life. My master's stuff was only passed down to me and my junior brother. I am really worried about some things, so I want to entrust them to you."

While talking to Xiang Yunxiao, he continued to rummage through the gray cloth.

He took out a book of sword techniques.
