Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

"We need to look for the places recorded in the silk book in the Lop Nur area. Although field surveys consume a lot of human resources, it is better than comparing the trends of the mountains from an old map from more than ten years ago."

Xie Yuchen picked up an unopened brown paper bag from the table. He walked to Chi Yu and sat down again. He took out the things inside one by one, and then handed a certificate to Chi Yu.

"The control over the Lop Nur area has always been quite strict, so I can't just send people in to explore the way. So I can only organize this kind of thing once in the near future."

“Once…”

Chi Yu took the certificate from the Academy of Forestry with the official approval document, smiled, and asked Xie Yuchen: "What if we can't find it this time?"

"I believe you." Xie Yuchen said, "But if we don't find that place in the end, then we can't find it."

"After all, besides this place, we have other places to start. If we want to find out what Jie Lianhuan and those guys are planning, there is more than one way."

"Well, now that you say so."

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze from the approval license, clicked on the system interface, and found the commissioned task belonging to Xie Yuchen from the communication box.

[Random Commission: Exploration]

[Task description: A joint exploration activity authorized by the Forestry Academy. From the personnel composition to the logistics preparation, everything is done by the Xie family, without any additional factors. Of course, except you. But - "Chi Yu is the most important part of this plan." At least your client thinks so. ]

Looking at the content of the task description, Chi Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Wow, Xie Yuchen really trusts him.

If he didn't dislike the word "mission failed", he would have messed it up to let Xie Yuchen see the wickedness of human nature.

Anyway, for people like them, they will always be devastated when they find out that their plans have failed.

Well, there’s no point in thinking so much now.

Chi Yu thought about it for a while, trying to dispel the strange feeling he had about the straightforward trust in Xie Yuchen's heart - even though this trust was something he was sure he would get from the beginning - but it was still hard to say. Then he said:

"Don't worry, I won't let my client down." Chi Yu said, "I'm aware of your commission, and we can set off at any time."

-

They set out from Beijing, first took a plane to Korla, then formed a convoy from the local area and headed for Ruoqiang.

Xie Yuchen always has the ability to simplify complex processes.

——Originally, there were no direct flights from Beijing to Korla, and the time required to use other modes of transportation was enough for them to drive directly to Ruoqiang, which might even take ten more hours.

But with Xie Yuchen using money to pave the way, the application for aircraft leasing and route was quickly approved.

Xie Yuchen even had the leisure to arrange for them to rest for a night in Korla, and wait until the sun rose the next day before gathering and preparing to set off.

"Boss, this supply station is the last one we pass. After passing this, the front will belong to the Lop Nur conservation area."

"Okay, load all the necessary resources. We will continue exploring Lop Nur for a while, and we will not stop the journey unless necessary. So diesel and food must be prepared. Go and make sure this is done now."

When Xie Yuchen said this, he was wrapped in a light-colored woolen coat. As he spoke, white mist came out of his breath and quickly dissipated with the wind.

The guy who was called nodded, trotted over to the guy in charge of logistics, and began to confirm the progress of the supply loading.

The young Xie boss stood beside the leading car, watching the accompanying Xie servants load boxes of goods onto the car.

The supplies loaded on each vehicle were fixed in quantity. In addition, there were also the most important surveying tools and communication equipment for their trip - these were provided by Chi Yu's company. Of course, Xie Yuchen also paid a generous reward for this.

After listening to the report from the waiter, Xie Yuchen nodded and walked towards Chi Yu, who was checking whether his equipment was normal at the side of the carriage.

Due to the change in ambient temperature, Chi Yu also changed into a black woolen coat. The dark coat looked thick and warm, but did not affect his flexibility.

Xie Yuchen felt that even now, as long as he was not paying attention, Chi Yu would suddenly disappear into some dark corner like a big black cat.

No matter how hard Xie Yuchen tried to look for him, he was unwilling to make a sound until he was finally found. Then he showed an expression of "Okay, you found it all", and then he restored his connection with this world.

But more often than not, for example when Chi Yu was carrying out his "commission", he gave Xie Yuchen the feeling of a snake hiding in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike.

And now, Chi Yu is in between these two states.

Xie Yuchen looked at the triangular logo on the trunk and took out a walkie-talkie from it.

He turned the walkie-talkie over and took a look at it. Not surprisingly, he saw the same pattern from the side.

"I remember your company logo is not this. Does this pattern have any special meaning?" Xie Yuchen pointed to the logo in his hand at Chi Yu.

Chi Yu glanced at him, his tone as cold as ever: "No." He said, "Someone suggested to me that this series needs an additional logo to make it memorable, so I just picked one at random."

There are obvious differences between modern communication technology and future communication technology. The deconstruction of the drawings that Chi Yu obtained from the store is enough to make the products produced by his company stand out from other similar competing products, and it can be said to be far ahead.

After all, the prototypes of the products he provided were all from the game "Arknights", so when Chi Yu received the proposal, he handed over the Rhodes Island logo without much hesitation.

You know what, he looks quite friendly.

It’s just that if he looks at it for too long, it’ll remind him that he can’t play the game right now.

Thinking of this, Chi Yu pursed his lips and didn't want to talk anymore.

Xie Yuchen looked at Chi Yu's rather cold expression and blinked, wondering what this man was suddenly upset about.

He put the intercom in his hand into the cabin and said softly to Chi Yu: "This time we are an official scientific expedition team going to Lop Nur for an investigation. Although this team is full of our people, in exchange, we still need to collect some additional relevant data and submit it back."

Didn't we already know these things when we were in Beijing? Why do we need to mention them again?

Chi Yu tilted his head in confusion, but still gave a polite "hmm": "I know."

So he didn't really understand.

Xie Yuchen looked at Chi Yu and thought silently in his heart.

——Perhaps this person’s thinking logic naturally lacks some of the more everyday parts.

Just like although Chi Yu was willing to accept his invitation to appreciate the flowers, she was actually just staring at the flowers in a daze, which was the ultimate in lack of romantic understanding.

So sometimes, Xie Yuchen needs to make those underlying meanings clear and present them to Chi Yu without reservation.

So Xie Yuchen sighed softly.

"I just want to say that if I didn't do something right and it affected your mood, then you can take advantage of this period of time to treat this trip as an ordinary trip to relax."

Xie Yuchen said: "Because you are the most important."
