The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 40 Free Match Pool

"Okay, thank you for your help." Lin Nan said politely.

"You're welcome. Since you're such a good student, you will definitely be able to find a strong team." The staff said with a smile.

Lin Nan went to sit over there obediently.

After seeing Lin Nan leave, the staff quickly took out their terminals and quickly edited a message in the league's captain group:
[I found a lone guide, D-rank, very cute, who's coming!!!]

Just one second after he sent the message, there were immediately countless "!" comments.

Me, me, me.

【Counselor, we are short of guides.】

Where is my guide?

【!!! ! ...

[There's no such thing as a scam here. If you want a guide, sign up now.]

"Have you forgotten the 'scam' from the previous match? It's said that the guide also found a loophole in the preparation hall."

[What are you dancing for? Even the immortals aren't interested in your team. Counselor, we're signing up. We need a guide.]

[Counselor, do you have a photo? Do you look good?]

[Very well behaved.]

The staff member uploaded Lin Nan's ID photo while typing.

Lin Nan's system still had her old ID photo. Her long bangs covered most of her facial features. She seemed to be very afraid of the camera, with her head slightly lowered. From the photo, one could clearly feel her embarrassment and uneasiness. Her shoulders were slightly hunched, and she looked petty.

【…】

【…】

【…】

【So it’s this person.】

[Who is this guide? Do you know him?]

[Disperse! This guide has no purification abilities. Instead, it will drain your spiritual energy. It's very uncanny.]

So scary?

"If you don't believe me, you can try it. I don't want to do it anyway. Killing aliens in the league is already tiring enough, and I have to bring along a burden that can't purify. Whoever wants to be sucked in will take over."

【…】

【…】

After hearing this, the lively group chat instantly cooled down. The staff member naturally saw these messages. He looked at Lin Nan sitting next to him with some confusion, and then looked at the messages in the group. It was difficult to connect what these sentinels said with the beautiful girl in front of him.

Is what they say true? Why does he feel that it is not true?

He felt a slight headache as he thought about this. At this moment, a call popped up on the staff's terminal. The other party was still a yellow label. After he saw the other party's name clearly, he immediately picked up the phone with extremely fast speed:

"Your Highness!"

The other party said something else, and the staff listened and immediately replied:
"Yes, yes, there is no team yet. I just came to submit the information."

"What? You said that both you and Lord Caesar want to team up with her? But didn't the President ask you to..."

He didn't quite understand why these two people suddenly proposed to disband the team when they had already matched with A-level guides. Moreover, this team was personally instructed by the president.

"Okay, then let's do as you say."

The staff hung up the phone and quickly operated on the system to retrieve the ID information of Lan Yin and Caesar and bound it to Lin Nan's.

After all this, the staff still felt a little unbelievable. Giving up the A-level guide and choosing the D-level one, even though Lin looked very well behaved, was it necessary? Did he not want the championship anymore?
You have to know that in this contaminated area, a guide is crucial—

Is this really their Prince Chris?
It won't be hacked.

The staff looked at Lan Yin's terminal information again. Except for finding that she had changed her profile picture to a cute one at some point, nothing else had changed.

What a weirdo.

Lin Nan sat on a chair nearby, replying to messages in the terminal while waiting for the matching results.

Ellie: Nan Nan, I've marked them. Have you found a team?

Lin Nan: Not yet, waiting for the result.

Ellie: I hope I can find a team that can rank up. I just realized that having more high-level sentinels in a team isn't necessarily better. o(╥﹏╥)o
Lin Nan: What's wrong?
Ellie: Nothing, I only marked three team members, the captain and his black-haired twin brother. I couldn't mark them at all. The level difference was too big. I was almost drained. QAQ
Lin Nan: What should I do then? (Mao Mao looks surprised)
Ellie: There's no other way. This is the only way. Let's get through the preliminaries first.

Lin Nan: That’s right.

After replying to Ellie's message, Lin Nan opened another person's chat interface.

This person was a Sentinel friend she had just added not long ago. He was the nephew of Assistant Gis, and a Sentinel also named Jon Snow.

Jon Snow: Mr. Lin, are you free right now? If it's convenient, could you please come to the restaurant? I have something I want to discuss with you.

After she added this sentry, they exchanged messages several times, but they had never met. The sentry showed his extremely gentlemanly side between the lines, which made her feel good.

Lin Nan thought about it and replied: Okay, I'll come now.

"I'm in the VIP room. It's not meal time now, so there aren't many people there. I won't cause you any trouble."

The other party is very considerate and even thinks of some small details.

The restaurant in the preparation hall is divided into a general dining area and a VIP dining area. Except for the guides who can enter and exit the VIP area freely, everyone else needs to apply for a special application.

The fact that the Cheetah Sentinel was able to enter here shows that his family is also very powerful.

Lin Nan spotted a tall figure from afar. The figure had short gray hair and was dressed in combat uniform. Standing erect, he resembled a towering pine tree.

Seeing Lin Nan coming, he nodded slightly with a gentle smile on his face, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, nice to meet you." He bowed slightly, his tone gentle and polite.

"Hello, Mr. Snow, what can I do for you?"

"My uncle asked me to bring this to you. I thought it might be useful in this league." The young sentry said, pulling out a small square box from his bosom and handing it to her.

Lin Nan opened it and found an exquisite watch-like prop inside.

"This is a small protective shield. If you encounter danger or an emergency, you can open it and it can protect you from physical damage."

It's an energy tool.

Lin Nan had seen this magical item on her classmates. It was very expensive. Each skill required an energy stone to activate, and a lowest-level energy stone cost 300,000 coins, which was the annual salary of an ordinary family of four working non-stop.

Because these items are hard to come by, they are usually only used by guides or some nobles. These people are very picky about items, so most of these props are made into exquisite accessories, such as bracelets, earrings, necklaces, etc.
