Friday, September 9th, 19 a.m. China Time.

An Airbus landed quietly on the runway of the Imperial Capital Airport. After taxiing for a while under the guidance of ground crew members, it stopped near a VIP channel of the airport that few people knew about.

A few minutes later, when the cabin door opened, Xu Yiyu, who was standing near the door, also saw the bright red carpet that had already been laid on the ground.

At the other end of the red carpet, there were several middle-aged men in suits. They stood quietly beside a black Chiqi car, as if they had been waiting there for a long time.

Xu Yiyu's facial muscles twitched a few times. After adjusting his facial expression, he gave the first position to get off the plane to Duan Wuque, who was escorting the imperial seal, and silently retreated to the rear of the Chinese team.

Low-key, so this is what Uncle Li meant by low-key.

What he meant by low-key seemed to be somewhat different from what Xu understood as low-key.

When Duan Wuque got off the plane holding the tightly wrapped imperial seal in his hands, the middle-aged men in black suits at the end of the red carpet also took action.

The leading man knocked on the window of the Red Flag car behind him. Just a few seconds later, a dozen fully armed soldiers got out of the cars and lined up on both sides of the red carpet in a formation so neat and standard that it could almost be measured with a ruler.

Xu Yiyu shrank back again and hid behind the main force.

Is this really low-key?

The sense of ceremony that Uncle Li gave to the treasure hunting team was indeed sufficient.

When Jiu saw this scene, he almost couldn't suppress his military DNA. He subconsciously adjusted his stance and instinctively put his five fingers together.

Fortunately, Gu Yue patted his shoulder from behind, allowing him to relax after a brief stiffness.

The red carpet was not long, and the thirty or so people walked quite fast.

When he walked in front of those middle-aged men who looked to be of prominent status, Xu Yiyu consciously walked to the head of the team, ready to formally hand over to them.

"Ms. Xu Yiyu, thank you for your contribution to the recovery of national treasures."

When the middle-aged man in the lead thanked Xu Yiyu in a calm and solemn tone, she was the first to notice that the other party wanted to extend his right hand, and when the other party extended his hand, she immediately stretched out her right hand and shook it.

"It's my pleasure."

Xu Yiyu responded with a seemingly calm smile, but the blood vessels in his brain were throbbing in an invisible place.

The aura of a big shot is indeed different from that of an ordinary person. The sense of oppression she felt when she walked over just now was something she had only seen on Li Rong before.

When the imperial seal held in Duan Wuque's hand was handed to the other party, the middle-aged man took over this national treasure that had been away from home for many centuries with great solemnity, and the muscles in his arms and upper body tensed visibly.

At this moment, Xu Yiyu suddenly understood why several senior leaders in the sea wanted to find the imperial seal as soon as possible.

This is a treasure belonging to the Chinese nation and an indispensable part of its fortune.

Not long after, a familiar system prompt sounded in Xu Yiyu's consciousness world.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the current system mainline mission and returning the jade seal to Zhao! The mission item, the Imperial Seal, was successfully brought back to China. The mission reward of 500 points of luck, 1000 points of counterattack, and the limited-time discount time of the system mall have been issued simultaneously. The host can check the issued rewards on his own."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the current branch achievement mission Silent Shelter! The 500 points of luck reward issued by the main mission have now been automatically exchanged for a protective shield with a validity period of 100 years, protecting China's territory, airspace and territorial waters, and preventing the impact of the island country's nuclear contaminated water discharge on the country at all levels."

"Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the permanent achievement title - Silent Guardian. The host has now automatically worn this title. The title will be blessed by the Chinese Heavenly Dao to a certain extent, and will greatly increase the probability of triggering special system rewards in all subsequent tasks, as well as the probability of obtaining luck value rewards after the task is successful."

After the Chosen System announced all the rewards for successfully completing the main and side quests, Xu Yiyu stood quietly and watched the imperial seal being properly placed on the red flag car behind the middle-aged man. His appearance did not seem to be shaken or changed at all.

But in the conscious world that no one could see, Xu Yiyu sat down on the spot in an ungraceful manner, hugged his knees, and cried and laughed with red eyes.

These two tasks were finally completed.

She put in countless efforts and mobilized countless manpower and material resources, and finally completed the task!

The Chosen System sat beside her silently, dragged out a 4K high-definition display screen in the void of the conscious world with its fingers, and then gently patted the host whose emotions had been almost relieved.

It had no intention of disturbing the host at the moment, but it thought there was a scene that the host would want to see.

When Xu Yiyu raised his face, his eyes were still red.

Her face was covered with traces of tears, and her black hair was stuck to her face in all directions. She didn't look like Chairman Xu at all, who was calm and decisive in front of others.

She was like a little girl who had finally fulfilled her wish. She could not suppress the excitement in her heart, but also the grievance and sadness that seemed to burst from her heart.

As if she wanted to cry out all the frustrations and injuries she had encountered in the first half of her life, when Xu Yiyu looked at her own Tongzi, she was still filled with complex emotions that she had not yet had time to dispel.

The Chosen System pointed at the display screen floating in the void, obviously wanting her to see something.

Xu Yiyu looked in the direction the young man pointed, and the sobbing gradually stopped.

——A transparent protective shield with blue light circling around it, which only she could see, slowly unfolded above the map of China, like a feather that was almost weightless, tightly covering all the territory of China, even the ocean areas were not spared.

She could not describe in words the shock this scene brought to her. It was not a superficial surprise, but a shock that penetrated deep into her soul.

"From now on, for the next century, the host country will not bear the consequences for the evil done by those people in the island country."

The Chosen System did not put away the display screen, but instead handed over the autonomous control of the screen to its host, allowing her to repeatedly play the scene of the protective shield deploying several times.

It was a scene more beautiful than any scenery she had ever seen.

After Xu Yiyu finished reading it for the last time, with tears in his eyes, he looked at the young system that had been silently guarding him, and reached out to hug this system that had been helping him unremittingly since it was bound to him.

"Tongzi, thank you so much, really."

"No need to thank me. This shield was obtained by the host at great risk. I am just a medium of exchange. The credit belongs to the host."

The young-looking system looked up at the title above Xu Yiyu's head that was flashing with blue light. An emotion that humans call heartache flashed through the data stream flowing through its body like blood.

The silent guardian.

The host had made such great sacrifices and contributions for her country, but she was not even allowed to let outsiders know.

She may not think it is important, but it does not think it is unimportant.

"Tongzi, China is my motherland. I have done all this for her without actually thinking about any reward."

Xu Yiyu loosened his fists, which had been clenched at some point, and smiled gently but firmly.

"Huaxia has allowed me to live in a peaceful country in an unpeaceful era. For me, this is enough."
