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

"This is the mission details," Shu Zao projected. "There are three teams in total, including Fernail. I will send the details of the other team to the group before 5 PM."

The mission was nearly five stars difficult, but the rewards were generous, including what she wanted.

Not only were they discussing this mission, but the special guides at the other white tower were also discussing it.

"Have you found out about the other two teams?"

"Zhenzhen, Funer is among them." Wen Zhao knew how damaging his words were.

"Damn it, it's her again!!!" Mi Zhen jumped up from her chair in anger. Among the special guides she disliked the most, Fennell was in the top three.

"Who is the other one?"

"Shuzao, an A-level guide, her special abilities are unknown. She was only discovered to be a special guide a few months ago. Um... she had dinner with Funa."

Wen Zhao posted the photos of Shu Zao and Fu Nai'er having dinner that were secretly taken in the group chat.

"Damn it, what's the difference between this mission and one I take on as a guide?"

With three teams working together, the mission difficulty was close to five stars, which meant she had essentially taken on a five-star difficulty mission herself.

The rewards were split equally, and she, who had worked so hard and made great contributions, only had the right to choose first.

Big loss.

Wen Zhao looked at the other sentries, and their expressions were all the same: Why isn't there a mission cancel button?!

Of the three guides, Fennell is the most relaxed. There are only a few special guides who can take on this type of mission. She can just take Shuzao there at her own pace and make up the numbers.

The enemy's firepower will not be concentrated on him; Shu will attract most of the firepower.

Who told Shu Zao to be the newly recruited "Fennell No. 2"?

If they had arrived earlier, Shu could have completed the five-star difficulty mission earlier, so this mission would have been a piece of cake.

She took Shuzao on a mission, and Shuzao had to thank her.

You have to do it yourself; that way you'll avoid a lot of detours.

Sigh, choice is more important than effort.

Shuzao assigned the preparatory work needed for the mission to each sentry.

"After you're done, you can continue training."

She browsed the posts related to team guides; team missions not only required cleaning up pollutants but also being wary of allies.

Caution is the boat.

At three o'clock, Shuzao and Funer chatted on Green Bubble for a while.

She dialed Mi Zhen's phone number, which was the number listed under the special guides' assignments, facilitating communication among the guides.

"Hello, who is it?" Mi Zhen asked in a sharp tone.

"My name is Shuzao, and I'm one of the guides in the team missions."

"I know." Fennell, that shameless girl, came to freeload off the reward.

Shu Zao casually reminded him, "We have no grudges against each other. Watch your attitude."

"Tch, if I'm nice to you, will you stop trying to freeload?"

"It seems there's no point in talking anymore." Shu hung up the phone. It was a waste of time to explain to the other party, who probably wouldn't believe her anyway.

She still needs to find evidence to prove herself, which is unacceptable.

Mi Zhen glared fiercely at the screen: "I can't even stand this tone from her, and she still wants to follow in Fernail's footsteps."

"Zhenzhen, I found something."

"explain."

"Shu had completed a five-star difficulty mission before. When she accepted the mission, it was listed as a three-star difficulty mission, but she only found out it was a five-star mission when she arrived at the location."

"What?! Wen Zhao, can't you investigate faster?"

The words have already been spoken, how can you take them back?

Wen Zhao: I just received it too.

"I'll be faster next time."

"It's all Fern's fault."

Mi Zhen didn't know why, but Funel was clinging to her like a ghost, and she would encounter her about 70% of the time during team quests.

The other 30% were because she had arranged for special mentors to receive their tasks at the same time in advance, which is why she didn't encounter them.

"We'll go later and follow them from a distance."

Mi Zhen pursed her lips, unable to hide the smile in her eyes: "Anle, isn't this inappropriate?"

She did lose some money, but this time she wasn't the one being taken advantage of.

"What's wrong with that? Didn't Fennell rip us off like this before? We can still bail them out."

There was no definite answer as to whether it was allowed or not, but no sentry objected anyway.

Etheris warmed the bed for Shuzao and lay down obediently beside her to sleep. He could tell from Shuzao's state that she wasn't very interested.

Two days passed quickly. Shuzao and Funer agreed to meet up together and set off on their mission.

And Mi Zhen is like being invisible.

Upon seeing Funel, Shu asked, "Aren't you waiting for Mi Zhen?" Her only contact with Mi Zhen was that brief phone call.

"She went first."

Upon hearing this, Shu Zao nodded without saying anything.

When the car couldn't move, Shuzao sat on Liuer's back, scanning her surroundings with her eyes and occasionally stroking its fur.

Sitting on Liuer is beautiful and elegant, and most importantly, it's incredibly comfortable.

The journey was relatively smooth. Upon arrival at their destination, Shu spoke up, her tone hesitant, "It seems Mi Zhen didn't come."

"Sigh, she lied to me. It seems like it's just the two of us left." Fernail's tone was filled with helplessness.

Shu Zao looked at him like a fellow sufferer: "That's all we can do." She glanced at her sentries out of the corner of her eye, telling them to be careful.

Fennell waited for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Shuzao's ability was.

Did she use it or not?

This doesn't seem like a special guide capable of completing five-star difficulty missions.

No, no director can beat me at cheating and shirking.

Fennell used her ability—ignore.

Once the ability is used, contaminants can easily ignore her and the sentinels she has mentally linked with.

The pollutants' firepower will be aimed at Shuzao's team.

Shu Zao noticed something was wrong after using it for less than a minute.

There are very few pollutants on the Fennell side. Some pollutants that pass by Fennell don't attack them; instead, they run towards them.

Is this Fennell's ability?

After exchanging ideas with Fu Yuan, Xing Yao, and Etheris in the mental landscape, Shu Zao came to Elisai and Zhou Miao's side.

"Direct the contaminants towards Fennell and her group, and each of them should select a sentry."

After saying that, Shu rushed towards Funer, shouting, "Nare, I'm here to help you!"

She was followed by a pile of pollutants.

Fennell: Holy crap!!!

"Wu Xuan, I'll help you too." Fu Yuan came up behind Wu Xuan. If the pollutants wanted to attack him, they had to deal with Wu Xuan in front of him first.

Each of them found a "stand-in" and followed closely behind, going wherever the other went, spouting righteous words.

An hour later.

"Shu Zao, stop acting and make your move! My abilities have failed."

Fennell never expected the other party to be so cunning and shrewd, unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss.

"Nail, I've been trying my best, I've been working incredibly hard."

Fennell: ...Am I being too clever for my own good?

Fennell's voice carried a hint of seriousness: "Aren't you capable of handling five-star difficulty missions?"

"That was purely coincidental. It ran into the crazed Fu Yuan and was killed by him."

Wu Xuan, responsible for protecting Funer: ………

Aside from Shuzao being of a lower level than Funel, Xingyao and the others were all stronger than the sentinels they had helped, and they sustained very few injuries.

Fu Yuan even had time to help Shu Zao.

Another hour has passed.

"Ahhh, Shuzao, I'm begging you, please stop messing around, all my Sentinels' contamination levels are over 60%."

Fennell didn't want to play anymore.

I can't afford to scam them, I simply can't afford it. They're even more shameless than her.

She can always throw something back at you no matter what you say.
