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

After pondering for a moment, Shu Zao replied to Fu Yuan's message.

[Shuzao]: Commander Fuyuan, how are you feeling?

If that doesn't work, she'll immediately comfort him—for a minute.

In her lifetime, she became known as "Sister Miao"—60 seconds.

[Shuzao]: We'll need to wait a few days. What are your requirements for the room?

After replying to Fu Yuan, Shu Zao went back to Xing Yao. Xing Yao sent three messages, expressing his feelings and saying that he would come here after completing the handover process.

[Shu Zao]: Xingyao, take your time, there's no rush. Do you have any requirements for your room? I'll get started on it in advance.

When they opened Kasi's message, Xuan Yue An, who was also reading it, also figured out something.

"I suspect that Xingyao had Kasi investigate."

"No doubt about it, that's it!"

[Shuzao]: Stop beating around the bush, I'll talk to your brother later.

Kassi replied instantly.

【Kasi】: Shuzao is really smart.

[Shu Zao]: Asking one or two questions is fine, but asking so many questions, how can you not expose yourself?

He asked such detailed questions, as if afraid she wouldn't realize he was asking on behalf of his brother.

【Kasi】: Hahaha.

He's inexperienced, so he's busy having fun. His brother comes here, and the two brothers can get together from time to time.

We can even go on missions together occasionally.

Shu Zao was his brother's personal tutor, so he felt very reassured.

His backing became even stronger.

"I'll create a group chat and add them all to ask together."

The other three sentries were too lazy to ask them one by one.

The matching information includes their contact information. She adds them as friends (in the green bubble), and the system automatically approves.

They need her consent to add them.

"Shu Zao, wait a minute. The room's decoration will depend on the amount of Star Coins each Sentinel transfers to your account. It can't be the same for everyone."

This kind of fairness is unacceptable.

Shu Zao patted Xian Yue'an's head: "Yue'an, you're right. No wonder you're destined to be a mentor who can manage 20 partners in the future."

"Hey, I'll get angry with you if you keep talking about this." Xian Yue An gently patted Shu Zao's shoulder.

Shu Zao raised her hand and promised, "I won't say it again."

When Shu Zao checked her balance, she was quite satisfied; so many zeros! She'd struck it rich.

Xian Yue'an's face darkened.

"wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The number of Star Shells is incorrect; it should be around three or four SSS-level Sentinels."

Crescent Moon sat upright, his expression somewhat serious, and quickly tapped his own light screen.

"Look, I have 5 SSS-level Sentinels, and my Star Shell count far exceeds yours. You should count 5.6 for now, but 5.6 shouldn't be that number." Crescent Moon Anbi was even angrier than Shuzao. She grabbed Shuzao's hand and started manipulating it.

She wanted to see which sentries were trying to be clever without even meeting them.

Xian Yue'an pointed indignantly at the transfer screen and said, "They're so mean! Look, only Fu Yuan, Xing Yao, and Etheris's Star Coins are within the normal range."

Etheris is an SS-rank character, ranking third in the number of Star Shells he has earned.

Zhou Miao and the sealed sentinel have nothing. The sealing of the sentinel is understandable; he even sealed the green bubble.

"I'm so angry! If it weren't for Yue'an discovering the problem, I would have been completely fooled."

She'll ask now; if she doesn't want to come, she can submit her application directly.

She couldn't tolerate them coming to eat for free.

This means that not only do her other husbands support her, but she also has to support several of them.

We owe them.

I can appease them, so why should they?

Based on thick skin?

Shuzao was very angry. She didn't want to be forced into a match in the first place, but things didn't go as planned.

After being matched, she took a positive approach and planned to get along well; if there were no feelings involved, they would remain colleagues.

where are they?

She fed the dog with all her heart.

From their perspective, random matching doesn't give them a sense of security. Why should all the Star Coins they've worked so hard to earn end up in the pocket of a stranger's special guide?

But now I'm looking at it from my own perspective!

She wouldn't be so saintly as to consider or understand them even when she herself is uncomfortable.

Hearts are all skewed to one side, so where does all that objective stuff come from?

In the current environment, their actions are extremely excessive.

If she causes trouble in the central city, even those with powerful backers will be punished, and those without will be in even worse shape.

Furthermore, it would also hinder the progress of her relationship with them later on.

But that's their choice!

Shu Zao quickly created a group called "Eight" and added all six of them to the group.

[Shuzao]: @All Sentinels, if you still want to work in the original White Tower or the central city, let me know and I will submit your application immediately.

[Shu Zao]: You can come to me if you need to appease me in the future, but you must pay Star Coins first. Sentinels who have not come to the White Tower where I am located should pay 6 Star Coins per month as a "freedom fee".

[Shuzao]: The premise of these conditions is: if I ask you for help, please be sure to lend a hand. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you.

[Shuzao]: I'll give you a day to think it over. As for the two of you who are out on missions, I'll start calculating the time after you return.

She asked for very little; she had done more than enough.

[Etheris]: Director Shu, I'm on my way.

He had no tasks to hand over, so he packed his things and set off.

[Shuzao]: Okay.

She messaged Etheris privately, which she initially found troublesome, but now she finds chatting with each person individually quite easy.

A "big spender" should be treated like a "big spender".

[Shuzao]: What are your requirements for the room, or what kind of room do you want?

[Etheris]: You still have a choice? You're so kind, Director Shuzao.

[Shuzao]: Your Star Coin amount is accurate. You can choose to specify it. Please be as detailed as possible so I can process it.

This also makes it easier for Edfer to work; Shuzao only provides the design drawings, while the actual work is done by Edfer.

[Etheris]: I like...

Etheris didn't stand on ceremony and made a bunch of requests, all of which were easy to fulfill.

[Shuzao]: OK, that can satisfy all your needs.

"Shuzao, when are you going to see that sealed-off sentry?" The sealed-off sentry requires a special guide to make a trip to the central city.

If it's not suitable, Shu will come back on his own long ago. If it is suitable, the awakened sentry will bring his Star Shell and come back with Shu.

Is there a time limit?

"No." This wasn't explicitly stated in the rules, but which of the sealed-off sentinels wasn't at the pinnacle of combat power? Who would be willing to give them up?

"Then I won't answer for now." I don't have enough energy, so I'll postpone it as long as possible.

"Yue'an, what are the two more Sentinel spirit entities you have?"

The twin spirits were jaguars, one black and one white, a very rare species.

The black jaguar, the sentry's skin is bronze.

The same face, two different skin tones.

"Let me see... Oh, right, Shuzao, didn't you have something important to tell me?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, I'm not actually a native of this place. My soul comes from another world."

Crescent Moon An paused, her hand hovering over the screen: "????"

"High-latitude creatures?"

"No, the technology where I live isn't as advanced as here. In my world, there are only people, no guides or sentries."

And this world is like a book I've read, a book I've skimmed through...

After hearing this, Xian Yue An helplessly spread her hands: "It's not a book anymore. I've awakened, and everything has changed. I've been matched with a new Sentinel. Shu Zao, you don't have any cheat codes anymore."

"Yes, that's good. We'll write our own story for the future."
