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

Lin Che deliberately acted young because he wanted to struggle a bit and make an effort to achieve his goal, which is perfectly normal.

He's not here to break up her family; he's here to join the 88th floor with the intention of doing so.

"Commander Shuzao, hello. My name is Lin Che, and my spiritual form is a peach blossom jellyfish—"

"Alright, alright," Nilonko interrupted Lin Che's introduction, "Have you forgotten what I said?"

Forcing her will not yield any results; it will only provoke a rebellious attitude.

Lin Che sat opposite Shu Zao and continued to work hard.

"I am very valuable. If I successfully advance to SSSS-level Sentinel, it will only benefit you. Your safety level will only be higher, not lower, when you go out on missions."

It doesn't matter if we fail, or if someone dies. We didn't spend much time together, so she won't feel bad.

She's gotten to where she is today not because she was a clueless guide.

Why does Nironco think she's unwilling?

A win-win situation!

Lin Che steered the conversation toward the bigger picture.

"We should prioritize the overall situation. The strength that SSSS-class Sentinels have demonstrated in combating contaminants is unmatched by SSS-class Sentinels."

For the sake of the White Tower and the central city, I request that Commander Shuzao establish a mental link with me and assist me in advancing to SSSS rank.

Shu Zao's expression completely baffled him.

What was her expression?

There wasn't a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

Like an observer.

"I—" Shu Zao opened her mouth, but was interrupted by a knock on the door before she could utter a single word. She closed her mouth.

"Knock knock knock".

As Jue Jian approached the door, he glanced at Nilonko before getting up to open it.

When he returned, Qi Hui followed behind him.

"Am I late?" Qi Hui sat down.

Nironcoe readily replied, "No, it's just right."

Lin Che's gaze remained fixed on Shu Zao's face: "Commander Shu Zao, what are you trying to say?"

"You've probably guessed my abilities by now." She's made so many moves; she's pretty much revealed them all.

"Don't rush to cross the SSSS level threshold. I have a plan that, if successful, will help Sentinels advance to SSSS level."

Her ability affects both herself and another individual; if she can control her ability, she can detach herself and replace her position with that of another individual.

Simply put: Originally, I swapped levels with A, but now it's B swapping levels with A.

In this way, those sentinels who already have their own guides can get closer to SSSS level with the help of their guides once they reach the threshold of SSSS level.

Sentinels without a dedicated guide can find a guide willing to form a mental link with them, and then exchange their guide's and the level of the kite's gift.

Everyone's happy!

And she wouldn't have to be forced to mentally connect with other sentinels after those two sentinels failed.

After all, doing so is very risky; traitors and contaminants will attack her at all costs, and if she dies, they will die too.

The promising Sentinel died along with her through their mental link.

Then, the world was completely destroyed.

Unless later on, "she" only needs her own sentinels to save the world.

The initial idea for this plan existed even before I met Hua Zhongmian. I've been exploring it, and there's a gap between her level and her abilities. I'm trying to find a way to connect the two.

She still has a sense of vigilance even in times of peace.

Shu Zao had no intention of betraying Qi Hui and letting the other party "take the damage".

Betraying Qi Hui wouldn't be of much value; she still felt her plan was more reliable.

She is confident she can do it!

Qi Hui disliked being completely ignorant, so she asked, "Commander Shuzao, could you reveal a little something to put their minds at ease?"

It would put my mind at ease.

"Director Qi Huixiang is talking a bit too much." He's lost his composure.

It must be kept secret until it's done; no one can tell!

If it succeeds, let Nironko handle things to avoid traitors, and she'll secretly produce a batch of SSSS-level sentinels.

This is the secret weapon!!!

In the current situation, SSS-level Sentinels are no longer effective.

"It's impossible to tell if it's real or fake."

With Yuanli, an SSSS-level Sentinel, she no longer needed her own abilities.

I'm back in a disadvantageous position!

Nironko suddenly spoke up, a relieved look on his face: "Actually, not only Commander Shuzao can extract SSSS-level guide elements, but Guide Qi Hui can too."

We previously focused all our attention on Commander Shu Zao and neglected the path of Guide Qi Huixiang…”

He was also suddenly "awakened" to the fact that Yuanli had reached SSSS level, and Qi Hui was no longer "useless" to Shu.

If it weren't for Qi Hui's strange attitude, he might not have realized what was happening.

I'm too busy; my brain can't keep up.

He explained in detail, and Lin Che promoted himself to Qi Hui.

Qi Hui was shocked by the change in the situation. Did he think he was easy to talk to?

"I have enough personal sentinels."

If this gets out, I'll become a sitting duck.

If you kill them too early, they'll turn on you!

Damn it, I shouldn't have gone into the meeting room. The current situation is a dead end.

Shu was known for his stubbornness, so it was obvious who Nironko would prioritize persuading to compromise.

"I have something to do, I'll be going now." Qi Hui tried to slip away.

Nironko commanded, "Chief Qi Huixiang, sit down."

Shu Zao looked at Qi Hui: "My plan is real."

"I believe in Commander Shuzao's plan, you all wait." From this moment on, Qi Hui firmly stood by Shuzao.

The meeting room fell silent as they waited for Nylonko to speak.

for a long time.

"Can it succeed?"

"Not 100%, but I'm confident."

"Alright, you two wait a little longer. Commander Shuzao, don't let me down. Meeting adjourned."

At the door, Tiris was still complaining to Esther about the useless talk they had heard at the meeting, and how Speaker Nironco was worried about them.

The door opened, and Shu Zao came out.

"Let's go home."

On the way, she received a message from Qi Hui thanking her.

"What news?" Etheris leaned closer.

"Thank goodness I didn't drag her into this."

I hadn't even had a chance to sit down properly when Bethelia arrived.

"Commander Shuzao, they say the pollutants were used to attack the White Tower to kill you."

Shu Zao didn't deny it: "Yeah, didn't you guess it? They could have killed all the sentinels and guides before I got back, but they dragged their feet and didn't do it. It's obvious."
