Chapter 41 Knife and Sword

In the archives room of Linjiang Branch, Gu Ming took a brand new towel as a rag and wiped every inch of the desk carefully. The tea cups were placed neatly, and some scattered documents on the desk were sorted into books and put into the wall cabinet.

Today is Friday, and it is also the last day for Gu Ming to stay in Linjiang Branch. The procedures for transferring to Yushan City have been completed, and he can report before next Friday.

This archives room can be said to be the place where Gu Ming has stayed the longest since he came to Jiuzhou World, even longer than at home. In this room, he activated the Dao Atlas, completed the most primitive accumulation on the road of the strong, and met his boss Wei Dafa who took care of him everywhere. It was also here that he thought clearly about how he should go in the future.

It can be said that this place witnessed Gu Ming's growth and the change in his mentality. He completely bid farewell to the past, recognized his identity as a citizen of Jiuzhou Huaxia, accepted his responsibility as a member of Huaxia Beidou, and realized the true meaning of the slogan "Protect the Dao Huaxia, never regret it even if you die."

More or less, Gu Ming has some feelings for this place. Before leaving, he wants to clean it up, just like saying goodbye to an old friend.

Wei Dafa looked at Gu Ming outside the door and walked in after he finished cleaning up.

"Have you cleaned up?"

"Well, Director, who will take over my job? Do you need to hand over in person?"

"Don't worry about these things. The person has been arranged. He will be transferred from Fengyang County next door. Besides, I am still here. You can go with peace of mind. There will be no chaos."

"I will come back to see you often."

"That's not necessary. After the work here is handed over, I will also move to another place."

"Are you leaving too?"

"Of course, small fish and shrimp like you can be promoted. As the commander-in-chief of this operation, I must have made an indelible contribution."

Wei Dafa thought to himself, actually I want to say that Jiang Siyi's report on that little girl is really beautiful.

"Where will the director go to get a better job?"

"Hehe, it's a secret." Wei Dafa said mysteriously, "But we will meet again in the future. Remember what I said to you. Keep a low profile when you go out. Don't tell your secrets to anyone, including your closest people. Of course, don't let others bully you. Do it when it's time to do it, otherwise I will lose face."

"I know, director." Gu Ming said with a smile.

After Wei Dafa left, Xiao Hu, Han Na and others also took time to say goodbye to Gu Ming. Although they didn't have much contact at ordinary times, they had worked together for many years after all, and Xiao Hu and Han Na admired Gu Ming for different reasons.

During this operation, Xiao Hu and Han Na also performed well and achieved a lot of achievements. Xiao Hu and Han Na received a notice that they would go to the "Kunlun Academy", an academy specializing in training strong people inside Beidou, in the near future. Those who can successfully graduate from Kunlun Academy can at least become masters who can stand on their own.

Gu Ming expressed his blessing to the two of them, from the bottom of his heart. Although he usually couldn't stand what the people in the Yaoguang Department did to Wei Dafa, they were colleagues after all. They would go their separate ways in the future, and they couldn't always think badly of others. After all, they were three good youths who were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze.

After seeing Xiao Hu off, Gu Ming thought about it and still didn't say goodbye to others. After eating the last lunch in the cafeteria, he left the key to the archive room on Wei Dafa's desk and went home with Jiang Siyi.

He didn't like socializing and was used to being a little transparent, so he didn't think it was necessary to say goodbye to those people he didn't know, otherwise there would be nothing to say and both sides would be embarrassed.

But when he was on the bus, Gu Ming was bored and opened his mobile phone. At a glance, there were dozens of unread messages in the work group where the messages were blocked.

"I wish Xiao Gu a bright future!"

"+1"

...

After reading the message, Gu Ming laughed from the bottom of his heart, but he did not reply, but silently turned off the screen.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Siyi asked. She had just joined the company not long ago and had not had time to join the group. Naturally, she didn't know what happened. Because of the merits she got this time, she was able to become a regular employee in advance and end her internship, so she was transferred to Yushan City in a legitimate way.

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel very happy." Gu Ming said, "Let's go, after we go back and pack up, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

"Is it the snack in the corner again?"

"Authentic Linjiang cuisine."

Back home in the old city, Gu Ming simply packed some clothes and personal belongings. There were not many things, and a suitcase was almost packed.

"Can you help put it in your necklace?" Gu Ming pushed the packed suitcase in front of Jiang Siyi and said.

"No."

What Gu Ming didn't expect was that Jiang Siyi refused without even thinking about it.

"Why? It's just a box. It's so troublesome to drag it outside."

"Your box smells like a single dog, and my necklace is not ventilated."

"I even gave you the magic weapon. As the saying goes, a drop of water is repaid with a spring of water."

"It's not that I don't want to repay, but the time has not come yet."

After a dispute, Gu Ming failed. It seems that the psychological shadow left by the night in the duty room on Jiang Siyi is too big. However, this also made Gu Ming secretly set a flag that when he becomes rich in the future, he must get a whole storage magic weapon.

In the evening, Gu Ming did not let Jiang Siyi down. He took her to a restaurant that looked pretty good and had a meal of Linjiang's most characteristic traditional hot pot and bacon vermicelli stewed with dried potato cubes.

Gu Ming spent three hundred dollars on a meal, but he was rare not to feel bad. After all, he was leaving tomorrow and didn't know when he would come back.

After returning, Gu Ming casually watched short videos. Since Jiang Siyi moved into his house, his video content has become much healthier. As he was watching, Jiang Siyi's voice came from the room.

"Gu Ming, come and see where this box came from?"

Gu Ming didn't know what made Jiang Siyi react so much, so he could only put down his phone and stand up, walked into the room, and saw a dusty sandalwood box in front of Jiang Siyi.

This box is only the size of a palm, with a pair of swords engraved on the lid, and the Big Dipper under the swords.

"This box is left by my grandfather. Where did you find it?"

"The charger just fell under the table, and I found it when I picked it up. Do you know what's in it?"

"I don't know. I haven't opened it. If you are curious, open it and take a look. Is there anything special about this box?"

"I don't know either, but I recognize the pattern on it." Jiang Siyi said.

"What's the big deal? It's just the logo of Beidou. My grandfather was from the Linjiang branch. Maybe it's a souvenir from some event."

"The Big Dipper below is fine. The important thing is the sword symbol above. This symbol can only be engraved on the second-class or higher medals of honor in Beidou. The sword and the knife above are the weapons of the two most powerful masters of Beidou. The sword belongs to the Beidou God of War Nie Cang. As for the owner of the sword, no one knows who it is. We only know that it is a master at the same level as God of War Nie Cang."

"God of War Nie Cang!" Gu Ming had to admit that he was shocked. God of War is the world's honorific for the first master of Beidou and the highest leader of Beidou. Nie Cang, the strongest man in China, was the one who founded Beidou to protect China.

"I'm interested now that you mention it." Gu Ming was also very curious about what was in this box. It was very difficult to obtain second-class or above merit in Beidou. A relatively simple condition was to kill a lord-level monster equivalent to the human race's Hedao realm. In front of a lord-level monster, the Monster King Soul Eater was just a worthless loser.
