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

Mo Shu walked to Xuan Yue'an's side. Xuan Yue'an glanced at him and asked, "Are you my personal sentinel?"

"Um."

"Can a fair process be achieved?"

Mo Shu: "Yes."

Xian Yue An: He's a quiet type and has no desire to communicate.

"Yue'an, go buy some meat and vegetables first, let's celebrate. I'll be back soon." Shu Zao sent Xuan Yue'an Star Coins as usual.

If Yue'an goes with her, she won't be able to unleash her evil.

"Don't be so polite with me. I'm not the same person I used to be. I have a lot of Star Shells now." She has become richer and has gained five more personal Sentinels.

Although she did not register voluntarily, she actively exposed herself to request matching. By rounding up, she only needs to match with five sentries.

The lenient policy stemmed from her being a special guide.

This time, Shu Zao was the only guide in the conference room, and she was the only one who wasn't a commander.

"Tell me," Fu Yuan said, her eyes cold as she looked at Qing Chu.

He has never been a patient person; he has always adhered to a decisive and swift approach to things.

They are decisive and resolute in their actions.

Qing Chu remained seated at the head of the table, while Shu Zao sat at the back, looking languidly at the commanders before her.

With a completely different attitude, Qingchu felt challenged this time.

Does she really think she can act with impunity just because she has five SSS-level exclusive sentinels?

The commander must be an SSS-rank sentinel, but an SSS-rank sentinel is not necessarily a commander.

She's already acting so arrogantly before she's even finished meeting her assigned sentries; she really doesn't respect him, her commander.

Leng Yu, that dim-witted fool, didn't tell Qing Chu how terrifying Shu Zao's abilities were; he only conveyed that Shu Zao was a special guide.

Fu Yuan lost his patience; he hadn't expected them all to be so timid. "Isn't the commander going to speak? How was the original announcement issued?"

"I proposed the release," Qing Chu said.

Fu Yuan nodded: "Continue."

"Now I'm more curious about why Commander Iksa hasn't returned?"

Leng Yu told him that the death of Commander Iksa was related to Shu Zao.

As long as it's relevant, a single sentence from him can make Shuzao lose all her momentum.

Qingran didn't see the scene she wanted to see, but Shuzao was amused by his words.

"I didn't say that," Mo Shu said, disclaiming any involvement.

"Didn't you explain it clearly to him?" Shu Zao glanced sideways at Leng Yu.

Seeing that Leng Yu's expression was as ugly as if she had swallowed shit, Shu Zao turned her gaze to Qing Chu: "Commander, you should ask it differently. You should ask: 'How many seconds will it take you to kill us now?'"

Upon hearing this, the commanders who remained at the White Tower without going on a mission all changed their expressions.

"Heh, you really think I'm all about relying on my personal sentinel? You need to be strong yourself to succeed, I understand that principle, why don't you?"

Now that Shu Zao has stopped pretending, she naturally won't play along with their "humility and subservience" act; she's going straight for the kill.

The moment she flipped the table and stopped playing with these commanders who had convicted her without even asking what happened, she changed how she addressed them, from "you" to "you (formal)."

They are not worthy of her title.

Qingchu stared intently at Lengyu, who forced herself to say, "Um... this mission should be considered as Shuzao Xiangdao completing it unilaterally; we only provided companionship."

Guiding the way?

That was thanks to the deceased commander of Iksa, or perhaps it was simply to avoid offending Shuzao.

As for Commander Mo Shu protecting Shu Zao?

Judging from Shu Zao's demeanor, it doesn't seem like she needs Commander Mo Shu's protection.

Leng Yu used the word "accompany" quite cleverly, making the commanders immediately understand his role.

"Hmm," Mo Shu replied calmly.

After settling the "general account," Shuzao will probably have to settle a separate account with him.

"Were you dead earlier? Why are you only telling me this now?" Qing Chu felt like killing Leng Yu.

How is he supposed to handle this situation?!

Damn it, don't ever say they knew each other before.

That scumbag, he really screwed over.

Even if Shu Zao really killed him, the central city would only ask, "Director Shu Zao, are your hands tired?"

Rarity and high lethality—that's her value.

No matter how powerful his family is, they would never clash with the authorities in the central city over this matter.

Percival has turned against him. "I think Director Shuzao is fine. Those sentries and directors who framed Director Shuzao must be severely punished."

"You knew there was no problem without even checking? Are you that amazing? I didn't see you have this ability a few days ago, what a coincidence." Shu Zao poked Percival in the heart, trampling his face into the ground.

She really liked a quote from Xunzi: "Human nature is inherently evil."

That's just their nature!

They haven't received proper education since then, so there's no need to be lenient with them.

Percival: ...They didn't even give us a chance to make amends, so what are we supposed to do? Kill them to vent our anger?

That's too extravagant; they're SSS-level Sentinels.

Bai Su didn't mince words; he had witnessed her ruthlessness before. "I think only sufficient compensation can soothe your grievances."

"Commander Bai Su really knows the ropes. Just spouting a bunch of nonsense isn't very informative. Commanders, please have some 'supplements' to try."

If I hadn't made a dinner appointment with Yue'an and didn't want to keep her waiting too long, I would have slowly worked out the personalities of these commanders.

He's so arrogant and self-righteous.

Bai Zhi's stingy nature made him a target. "What kind of compensation does Director Shu Zao want?"

"So insincere?" Shu Zao's expression was very displeased.

Is the commander considering her best interests and wanting to compensate her in a way that pleases her, or is he simply unwilling to pay more?

She thought it was the latter.

He looks just like the latter.

Shu Zao turned her head around and found that no commander spoke.

Fu Yuan patted her head: "No need to be polite, we want a wood-type crystal core."

It feels good.

He had had the idea before, but didn't act on it, worried that she would avoid him.

"Yes, that's right, I need a wood-type crystal core." She didn't give him any face at all; she didn't need any more star shells.

Her future salary will be paid in the central city, and she can choose whether or not to continue working in Baita.

Central cities will post tasks on special guide websites, allowing special guides to choose which task to accept.

These tasks need to be completed by the guide's dedicated sentinel, and the guide can choose whether or not to go with them.

You must accept a task at least once every two months.

The tasks in the taskbar are updated from time to time. Some tasks are very simple and are prepared for low-level guides and personal sentinels.

The difficulty of the mission also determines the number of Star Coins required.

If there isn't enough special guide star coins or you want to mess around with your exclusive sentinel, you might force your exclusive sentinel to frequently participate in missions issued by the White Tower.

Alternatively, you could choose a challenging task directly from a specialized tutorial website.

The sentry couldn't refuse unless he wanted to die.

Because once a Sentinel establishes a deep bond with a Guide, the Sentinel cannot seek comfort from other Guides.

Once a deep link is established, it can never be cleared.

For special guides that cannot establish deep connections, central cities need to step in to "coordinate" the relationship between the two parties.

High-level sentries still have some value.

However, in the face of high-level sentries and high-level guides, central cities will choose to ignore them.

The sentry's life is in the hands of fate.

Shu Zao urged, "You're unwilling to give it? You framed me and forced me to go on missions. If this gets out of hand in the central city, things will get really messy."

Qingchu gave out two S-grade wood-type attribute crystal cores first, and Shuzao turned to look at Fuyuan.

She wanted to ask if it was worth it? Should she add another point?

The value of wood-type crystal cores is debated online, and they are rarely used.

"That's fine." He thought that Qingchu would rather give him a Star Shell than a Wood-type Crystal Core.

After Shu Zao finished collecting the crystal cores, Fu Yuan let her leave first, and the announcement about the A-level guide mission was also canceled.

After Shu Zao left, the atmosphere in the meeting room became heavy.

"This incident occurred on the outskirts of a heavily polluted area," Fu Yuan said in a serious tone.

On her way home, Shu turned on the screen early in the morning, and the two sentry information bars were still showing that they were on missions.

The Sogoga family basement in the central city.

Zhou Miao lay half-dead on the ground, her pink hair so splattered with dirty water that its original color was no longer visible.

The whip, soaked in salt water, continued to fall on his body, but he could no longer feel the pain.

Am I going to die?

Very unwilling.

"Tap, tap, tap." The footsteps were slightly hurried.

"Miss Ratfa, he can't die. A special guide has been matched with him, and sentries have been dispatched to pick him up."

Zhou Miao heard it too, and he was finally able to go out.

"Didn't we already do that? How come we're still getting matched?"

"On the surface, Zhou Miao is your exclusive Sentinel, but the information in the matchmaking pool has not changed."

Several families in the central city had witnessed her forcibly taking Zhou Miao.

However, the Sogoga family claims that Zhou Miao voluntarily became her personal sentinel.

No family rushed into the Sogoga family to seek the truth. What if Zhou Miao came in and actually agreed?
