The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 46 Gossip
"Hehe, don't you know? The Queen has had many lovers, but she's only had one nominal husband, the previous President. But ever since the Queen started having a secret affair with Mr. Edward, then the Commander of the Royal Guard, she's been demanding a divorce. The former President was so angry that he ran away from home and went to a highly polluted area, never to return."

Lin Nan: Oo
"This incident caused quite a stir at the time. Later, the former president divorced and resigned, and Chief Edward took over. Everyone was speculating that the reason he was able to successfully ascend to the position of the Queen among her many lovers was not only because of the Chris family's unique beauty, but also because of their unique boudoir techniques. You know, the tentacle system, that and that—"

Lin Nan:!
She doesn't understand, ah - what kind of world is this, why is everything so hot~~
Seeing Lin Nan blushing and her heart pounding, Ellie said with a smile, "Now you and Lan Yin are on a team together. Can you verify it this week? See if their deep-sea tentacle system is really as legendary as - um..."

Before Ellie could finish her words, Lin Nan covered her mouth with a slap.

"The camera is turning around, stop talking!" Lin Nan said angrily.

The annual league between Sentinels and Guides has officially begun. The cameras placed at various locations by the organizers are now fully operational, and the online live broadcast platform is also fully open. Audiences across the country can watch the event in real time through their terminals.

The President on the podium is naturally the focus of the audience, but the freshman guides every year are also highly anticipated. The organizers have specially set up a machine to aim at the guide seats.

The camera followed them. Because of the image issue, the people who were originally on edge adjusted their expressions in an instant. Ireland put away the resentment in her eyes and replaced it with an elegant and decent smile. She tilted her head slightly, and her golden curly hair slid down her shoulders. She struck a charming pose, and her every move showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

In the live broadcast room, many viewers cheered excitedly.

"It's His Excellency Ireland, so beautiful."

"Ms. Ireland is old enough to join the league now. I'm so excited. I've been following her since she was five years old."

"What's wrong with you upstairs?"

"What's wrong? Is it weird to like a guide?"

"Don't be a toad dreaming of swan meat. Your Excellency Ireland has already been betrothed to the Crown Prince."

"So what? The country doesn't have a rule that a guide can only marry a sentinel."

"Even if she could have a few more lovers, it wouldn't be your turn. A-level guides are so rare, and there are so many people waiting in line."

"Stop arguing. Who will His Excellency Ireland team up with this year?"

"I don't know. The list of participating teams hasn't been released yet. We'll know soon."

Perhaps the camera knows how popular it is, it deliberately moves back and forth between those slightly famous people. After recording Ireland, it focuses on another A-level guide, El, in the guide seat.

The guide group is generally dominated by girls, and male guides are very rare. Therefore, the appearance of El has triggered a wave of enthusiasm among the audience.

Especially for the female audience, the young master of the Duke of Flores has long been famous, and the noble female sentinels from the same class families have already trampled the threshold for marriage proposals.

El rarely showed his temper and greeted the camera. The blond and blue-eyed boy still looked a little indifferent, but he had already charmed a large number of female fans.

"Move the camera closer."

"Er, little cutie, even the freckles are so charming."

"Sisters are waiting for you to grow up."

After El, the camera recorded other people in turn. Some of them, although not yet graduated, had already gained some fame on the Internet. Taking this opportunity, they all showed up. Some people were more low-key by nature and were only willing to say hello simply, not willing to show off much.

These people usually come from ordinary families, and the camera doesn't think they are interesting, so it just scans them and leaves.

Just as it was withdrawing, the camera suddenly captured a girl with black hair and black eyes. Obviously, the camera hesitated for a few seconds, then it focused on the girl and took a close-up.

Although they were not very sure, the free matching incident in the morning had already spread throughout the academy. A D-level guide was matched with two top-level sentinels, which made the entire academy crazy.

Moreover, there are some rather obscure gossips involved here. Such big news will become a hot topic sooner or later. The sentry operating the camera has obviously seen the photo on the display, but now that he has scanned the real person, he is a little unsure.

So, as if to prove himself, the camera scanned Lin Nan from head to toe, carefully.

Lin Nan: ...

Today's cameras are small flying machines that do not require manual operation. They can also cooperate with the spiritual bodies of certain reconnaissance sentinels to achieve human-machine integration. The recorded images are transmitted through the sentinel's spiritual body to an instrument called a "brain tank", and then displayed on the Internet in the form of a live broadcast through this instrument.

But no matter how much cameras have evolved, humans are still innately afraid of cameras. Lin Nan always felt that the camera was intentional. It had circled around her so many times and it didn't leave.

Her face was almost frozen from smiling.

"What's going on with this camera guy? Why is he just circling around this girl?"

"Wow, don't you think this girl is so cute? She has black hair and black eyes, a rare subspecies from the Ancient Blue Star."

"This is the first time I've met this guide. Is she new?"

"What level is she? What is a spirit body?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen any information. I'll ask my friend."

"Stop talking!"

"Comrades, I'm back! Shocking news! Shocking news!"

"What? So mysterious."

"Channel Y2-3679, come in if you want to listen!!!"

"..."

Lin Nan didn't look at the terminal, so she naturally didn't know what the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room were discussing. After finally getting rid of the camera, she focused her attention on the podium again.

The President had finished his opening speech and left the stage. The host then came on stage and officially announced the match schedule for all participating teams in the qualifiers.

The pace of the preliminaries was very fast, with each team having about an hour left. The team that could knock the opponent out of the competition arena within the hour would win. In total, there were nearly 300 teams competing for two and a half days, and the final 10 teams would enter the contaminated zone to compete for the final championship.

Due to the limit of 10 places per team, many teams directly filled up the personnel. However, there were also some strong Sentinels who were accustomed to fighting with familiar friends and chose to participate with a configuration lower than the full capacity.

However, most of the teams still have 6-8 people. Lin Nan's team, which consists of only three people including the sentinel and the guide, is really rare. In the entire ranking list, it is like a thorn in the side.

I have a fever that keeps coming back and forth, and I feel a bit down. I want to take a day off tomorrow, but I have a feeling today that I will be on the next round of recommendation list tomorrow. What should I do? o(╥﹏╥)o
