My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 447 - 210: The Old Commander’s Departure

"He’s here too? We must meet him."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "After our parting, I haven’t seen him again. I wonder how they are now."

"He’s also in the Technology Association’s Security Department, let’s go to the Medical Department." Zhao Jiayan said.

Yang Yuan nodded, immediately pushed his left hand, and a Gate of Space appeared.

After Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi entered, he followed suit. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Casually closed the door.

The three arrived at the Medical Department of the Technology Association at Duobei Snow Mountain and headed straight to the Security Department.

"Speaking of, how did Director Jia end up joining the Technology Association?" Yang Yuan was curious.

"It was a coincidence, just like me back then. I accidentally stumbled upon the Technology Association, witnessed their super technology, and with acquaintances present, I joined."

Zhao Jiayan laughed, "Director Jia joined upon seeing me here, mostly because of you. After all, I have an unremarkable reputation in the thirteenth team, he couldn’t have joined because of me."

That’s true.

It certainly is necessary to meet Director Jia.

Speaking of which, I still have a receipt from him. This Celestial Marvel is an important tool for communication between both parties, but since leaving Sunshine Coast, there has been no response from the receipt.

Yang Yuan always thought something might have happened to Director Jia and the others.

Soon, the three arrived at the Security Department.

Just after entering, they saw an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit scolding Jia Weixin.

Upon seeing Yang Yuan, both of them were momentarily stunned.

"Mr. Yang Yuan?!" Jia Weixin was overjoyed after his initial shock.

"Director Jia, long time no see."

Yang Yuan smiled and nodded, then looked towards the elderly man in the Zhongshan suit.

He had met this old man a few times before, but back then, he couldn’t see through the man at all.

Now, he was a different person entirely, and could easily discern the old man’s uniqueness.

At this moment, the old man was also looking at Yang Yuan with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

Once seemingly omniscient, the old man now seemed blind, completely unable to see through Yang Yuan.

"An earthly legend has it that gods should appear like you, right?" Yang Yuan suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiayan and Jia Weixin were stunned, a bit puzzled.

The elder in the Zhongshan suit chuckled, "A dead man, what talk is there of gods."

Yang Yuan stood at the door, arms crossed, quietly activating a new ability, "Divine Vision," sweeping between the old man in the Zhongshan suit and Jia Weixin.

"Did you see anything?"

The elder asked with an expectant face.

Though aware of his own existence, he didn’t understand how, and was eager to know his form through the observer’s eyes.

Yang Yuan spoke thoughtfully, "There’s a saying that when hearts unite, gods can be made. I didn’t believe before, but I do now."

"What do you mean?" The elder was puzzled.

Yang Yuan laughed, "Aren’t you supposed to be Director Jia’s creation?"

"What do you mean?" This was Jia Weixin’s query, echoing the elder’s question.

Yang Yuan said with a smile, "I saw a belief of all beings in the elder’s body, though Director Jia’s belief occupies the core. Therefore, I suspect the elder is an amalgamation of countless beliefs, ultimately awakened by Director Jia."

Zhao Jiayan looked bewildered, glancing from one to the other, not quite understanding.

"An amalgamation of countless beliefs?" Jia Weixin frowned.

The elder in the Zhongshan suit looked thoughtfully at Yang Yuan, waiting for further explanation.

He too was curious about his origin, having long since reached the end of his life, now forced to work for Jia Weixin, wanting to die but unable.

Yang Yuan glanced at Jia Weixin and smiled, "If I’m not mistaken, after the elder’s passing, Director Jia took their most precious item, a special symbol representing identity and stature, activated by Director Jia unintentionally, which led to your appearance."

The elder in the Zhongshan suit and Jia Weixin were momentarily stunned.

The elder frowned and suddenly glared at Jia Weixin, "Is my blood-red shoulder badge with you?"

"Ah..."

Jia Weixin hesitated, then took out a golden-red five-pointed star from his pocket, which he always carried.

A real golden five-pointed star, a memento of a bygone era, commemorating the contributions of the elder in the Zhongshan suit to the entire city.

The elder’s gaze turned complex upon seeing the star.

It was more than just glory, it was a burden of responsibility.

Having reached the end of his lifespan, he wanted to lay down his burdens, and so avoided remembering the object.

Thus—

No matter how omnipotent he may be, he didn’t know that Jia Weixin carried the item all this time.

At the moment Jia Weixin retrieved the golden-red star, despite mixed feelings, the elder took it with a forced demeanor.

However, as soon as his hand touched the star, a sudden transformation occurred.

Before everyone’s eyes, the elder in the Zhongshan suit vanished, leaving only a golden shoulder badge slowly falling to the ground.

"Chief..."

Jia Weixin’s face shifted, reaching out to catch the badge.

"Whoosh—"

A terrifying shockwave hurled him onto the wall.

Behind the desk in the corner.

The elder in the Zhongshan suit appeared mysteriously at the seat.

He rose, approached the golden shoulder badge, crouched down, picked it up, face complex.

"Are you okay?"

Jia Weixin slid to the ground, more relaxed seeing the elder unharmed.
