Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

"Bang bang bang, sentries, I've accepted a mission."

For their first mission, Shu Zao chose a range, and they selected it together. After that, Shu Zao decided on all the missions.

Surprisingly, after she made all the decisions, they didn't encounter any problems, and they didn't even pick auspicious days for missions.

I can't trust him.

"Let's pause training and discuss the mission. This mission involves teaming up with Lingxi and Ni Sangyue..."

Upon hearing what the reward was, Zhou Miao lowered his head; they were there for him, a sentry.

"Zhou Miao, lift your head and listen carefully. You're the main force in this mission, and I have a new strategy that we can use to test pollutants."

Etheris eagerly chimed in, "Shuzao, what's this new strategy?"

"I want Zhou Miao to use her defenses on the pollutants."

Sentinels: "......" Are they afraid the contaminants will be killed too quickly?

"The shields brushed on us are used on the pollutants, compressing space and crushing them."

Your defensive capabilities can change form. When we encounter difficult contaminants, you can use a hammer-shaped shield to smash them, giving other sentries more time to evacuate…”

Shu Zao analyzed the feasible uses of Zhou Miao's abilities, which she had painstakingly worked on over a long period of time.

Once all their strengths have been uncovered, she can step back from the limelight.

Commanding the country is just around the corner.

"I hope that together we are an unbreakable team, and that apart we can hold out until other teammates come to our aid. I don't want to change teammates, nor do I plan to find a new partner."

Sentinels: "Understood."

She meant that having them was enough, which was more heartwarming than any sweet words.

Before they could finish discussing it, Shu Zao received a call from Tiris, and Xian Yue An entered the treatment room.

Rushing into the treatment room, Shu Zao hurriedly asked, "Why are you in the treatment room?"

Tiris said, "She absorbed all the crystal cores you gave her a week ago and reached level B. Now she can't stop her nosebleeds."

Yue'an was too eager for quick success; if it hadn't been discovered in time, her life might have been in danger.

"The one inside is fine now, there's no need to push yourself so hard," the doctor said as he came out. Seeing the familiar "customer," he couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder we got along so well, you can go in now."

"Shu Zao, I'm a B-level guide now, we can go on missions together." Xian Yue An had a piece of paper stuck in her nostril, a bright smile on her face, looking like she was waiting for praise.

Sending someone on a C-level mission is like putting your life and the Sentinel's life in your own hands; a slight mistake and you're dead.

Shu gave her a 'chestnut' as a reward.

"Ouch, Shu Zao hit the guide, it hurts so much!" Xian Yue An rolled around on the bed.

"You know it hurts, yet you still dare to cause trouble like this. What if something happens?" How old is she? You still have to worry about her.

With a serious expression and straight back, Xian Yue'an said, "I've figured out a problem that has been bothering me for a long time."

Shuzao sat on the edge of the bed. "What's the problem?"

"The future I know is not the real future, otherwise everything now would be inexplicable." If she could save the world, how could she possibly awaken her consciousness?

Xian Yue'an put her hands on her hips: "Hmph, I know you've already figured it out, you just didn't tell me."

If she could think of it, Shu Zao couldn't possibly not have thought of it.

It's really too much to keep it from her.

"We can't just act recklessly."

"Opportunity is for adventurers. I've seized it. Let me pick a one-star mission and test the waters."

"I have a group mission in two weeks, so your mission will have to be postponed."

Xian Yue'an didn't ask any further questions and nodded decisively.

At night, after taking a shower, I found a new group chat in Shuzao's green bubble chat room.

[Special Guide Team Mission]

Without any fancy embellishments, the theme is clearly stated.

Shuzhao, please start the group chat early.

[Ni Sangyue]: @Lingxi @Shuzao, let's discuss where to meet.

【Lingxi】: There are three suitable places.

Lingxi quickly found a suitable route.

The allies are really efficient. Shu had already looked at the three places Lingxi had chosen, and they were indeed the three most suitable routes. She replied to the message in the group.

[Shuzao]: I prefer the third place, for your reference only.

At the same time.

【Ni Sangyue】: The third one.

"You're smart enough." Shu Zao was smarter than she thought, and her reaction was quick.

[Lingxi]: Okay, then let's go with the third one.

"Knock knock knock." Elizabeth knocked on the door and entered, her footsteps slow.

Liuer emerged from the mental image, and Shuzao squatted down to hug it.

Top-notch feel.

So fluffy!!!

"Liul's fur is shiny and smooth. Elisai, you've been in good shape lately."

"Shu Zao took good care of herself."

Shuzao: I always felt there was more to it than just the surface meaning.

At Elisai's prompting, Ryul's tail wrapped around Shuzao's wrist.

"Elise, shall we play a game?" Shuzao's eyes swept across the chessboard.

She really enjoyed playing chess with Elisai, and despite repeated defeats, she kept trying, accepting her losses wholeheartedly each time.

"Shuzao, I want to get something in return, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Okay, let me have my three sons." Shu Zao also made her request, saying that she would just say so if she felt it was difficult later.

"I'll give you six sons."

"Elisay, do not underestimate me. A man should be viewed with new respect after three days' absence."

Elizabeth smiled but said nothing.

This ignited Shu Zao's competitive spirit, and an hour later, Shu Zao was defeated unwillingly.

It was almost a tie! Just a hair's breadth away!

"Shuzao, it's time for you to keep your promise." Elisai appeared beside her at some point and leaned down on her.

"I'll let the seventh child win next time." She refused to believe that the seventh child couldn't win.

Elisai did not respond, leaving the seven pieces unable to play. Shuzao's chess skills improved too quickly, and he even absorbed his moves.

This was a narrow victory; we almost lost everything.

He wouldn't dare let Liu Zi have it next time.

"Ilissai, speak." Shuzao covered Elisai's lips.

"I won't agree, otherwise I, Qi Zi, won't be able to beat Shu Zao."

Shu Zao withdrew her hand. "I'm actually pretty good, aren't I?"

"Impressive, textbook-level."

Shu Zao: "..." That's too much of a lie.

When you're busy, the days always fly by, and it's time to set off.

"Don't bother seeing me off, your eyelids aren't twitching, you're safe."

"Good morning, have a safe journey."

"Mmm." Shuzao hugged Xian Yuean tightly, then turned and went into the cabin.

She needed to find the other two guides first so they could set off together.

When Shu arrived at the location, Lingxi and Ni Sangyue were already there, talking about something and smiling at a sentry.

He was very young, unlike an adult sentry.

"You've arrived quite early." There are still twenty minutes until the agreed time.

"He just arrived, only two minutes before you," Ni Sangyue said, pointing at the young sentry. "His name is Ni Yan, my younger brother. He came along for training, so you don't need to worry about him."

She takes care of herself, and any burdens she incurs are her own burdens.

Shu Zao nodded knowingly: "What are you laughing at?"

Ni Sangyue blurted it out casually; she would have said it even if she hadn't, "Oh, laughing at his unrealistic fantasies about wanting to be the strongest Sentinel."

Being an A-rank Sentinel at 16 years old shows talent, but it doesn't mean you're strong enough to be the strongest Sentinel.

And he's still so stupid, talking nonsense wherever he goes.

"Why aren't you smiling?" Ni Yan didn't see the smile and look she expected.

"What are you laughing at?"

"My dream."

"Having dreams is a good thing, as long as they are positive. Now that we're here, we can set off."
