Chapter 17: Captain

Captain

Another day of fine weather.

Someone opened the curtains, and sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the room.

A clean arm slipped out from the soft bedding, and Fu Guang hissed softly as she climbed up.

"Dear Shu Tong Sentinel, may I rest for a day?"

Fu Guang paid the price for her previous thought, believing that under the medicine's conditioning, her physical strength and combat skills would at least match those of a D-rank Sentinel.

The cold-eyed black-haired black-pupiled woman said, "Your impact resistance can even be considered B-rank."

While adjusting her boxing gloves, she added, "However, before your mental grade reaches A-rank, please avoid direct physical contact with the Sentinel."

"After reaching A-rank, you can let your mental power cover your whole body to avoid injury."

"Before that, you may leave the affairs to me and my brother to handle."

Fu Guang is not one to easily give up; she sparred with Shu Tong a few times on the Star Net, being clearly suppressed by Liu Yun, who hammered down on her strength.

This thoroughly crushed Fu Guang's wish to surpass the Sentinel in strength.

She still had to play to her strengths.

With Shu Tong assisting, she didn't need to worry too much about her medicine trade; she just had to wait to collect points, and her account now had 220 points.

As for the half-mutated Liu Yun, aside from being unable to speak except for "heh heh heh," his consciousness had gradually awakened.

However, Xiao Mei Qiu seemed unwilling to return to the master's mental landscape, preferring to stay close to Fu Guang's side.

Shu Tong would also release her mental form—two similar snow birds, often one black and one white, perching on Fu Guang's left and right shoulders.

Shu Tong had never felt any discomfort with her current work; she had deeply contemplated what scenes she might encounter.

Which weighed more—the price she would have to pay, or losing her brother?

Her present life was given by Fu Guang the Guide, and she would not allow anyone to destroy it.

Fu Guang regretted being unable to directly face the Sentinel's fists, but she had not gone so mad as to want to abandon her Guide identity to become a Sentinel.

Since this path leads nowhere, she would take another; there would always be a solution for her.

If there is no road, she will chop one out.

Even if she started in hell, hasn't she walked out onto a broad avenue?

Now she has an identity clearly granted by the Military, and on this basis no Sentinel can treat her arbitrarily.

Sentinels are young, full of energy, and likewise their desires are sufficiently frank.

Money, power, survival.

Some Sentinel once promised her millions, guaranteeing her safety at Federal University.

First, let's not discuss whether it's true or false.

That viscous, malicious covetousness had once truly surrounded her left and right.

Perhaps it still lingers now, but it will never again easily appear before her.

She has already demonstrated her worth; those people should also weigh themselves, to see if they carry the same weight before the Military and the White Tower.

Fu Guang remembered that earlier, her fellow sect members often said she was deep-minded, but how could someone without any scheming survive in a world full of danger?

She hadn't harmed anyone, striving for her own survival—what was there to be ashamed of?

Pale blue threads curled in her palm, dancing then returning to oblivion.

Fu Guang has lately been a bit lazy, with no safety issues constantly looming over her head, and her strength has been steadily increasing.

This makes her somewhat content with the current atmosphere.

However, there should always be someone who can't tolerate her leisure and will stir up trouble.

Fu Guang sometimes does not guess everything as accurately as a prophet; she stared at her light brain, somewhat speechless.

"Respected Fu Guang Guide, hello!"

"We have obtained your previous physical examination results from the White Tower Medical System."

"Mental power D-plus, mental damage reduced, upgrade potential high."

"Talent tendency, top-tier, support system, purification, healing."

"Top-tier, assault system, seeing through…."

"According to years of Guide detection data from the White Tower, the error rate is 0.00001%."

Fu Guang raised an eyebrow at her light brain—what a strange combination.

At the same time, all S-rank Guides and personnel concerned with Fu Guang received the same data.

Assault?

Healing?

Guide?

Does support also have an output heart?

Everyone's reactions varied; talent is a response to one's inner desires.

The belonging ability is personality, the mental form is the display of the inner self, and talent is the means used to achieve a goal.

See through, see through people's hearts, see through weaknesses.

Indeed it counts as assault.

Ding-dong.

Her light brain chimed again.

Xue Yuan issued her a mission to accompany the army, with a difficulty of D-rank.

"Snow Hibiscus" planet—recent Star Net detection shows excessive energy fluctuations, risking the formation of a contamination zone.

Please, Fu Guang Guide, lead a team of A-rank and above Sentinels, at least five, to prevent Snow Hibiscus from forming a contamination zone, with a deadline of half a month.

Thirty points.

This is the trial sent by the academy.

Fifteen days have passed since the anomaly accident occurred; after waiting for the test results, they finally reached out to Fu Guang.

"Shu Tong, is the mission for me to recruit team members myself?"

Shu Tong walked over, after gathering information, nodded.

"Yes, Captain Fu Guang, you can post the recruitment notice on the academy's internal network."

"Or you can recruit team members offline, submit the team information, once the academy approves, the mission can begin."

Shu Tong carefully answered Fu Guang's question.

"Do you have time in the next half month?"

Fu Guang filled in his name as captain in the team information, then paused to ask Shu Tong about the member filling.

"Of course I have time, Captain Fu Guang need not ask for my opinion."

"I will take your will as the highest order."

Fu Guang answered with murmurs, his fingertip suddenly paused.

"Your brother Liu Yun also cannot go to the polluted zone in this condition; stay and take care of him, and incidentally sell potions."

Although this mission looks simple at a glance, Fu Guang also does not intend to increase the difficulty for himself.

Without waiting for Shu Tong to refuse, she had already arranged her work.

Fu Guang also had no particular candidate in mind; after posting the information on the academy network, she no longer paid attention.

Everyone is the same, no difference.

She was unaware that her information had stirred a huge wave on the campus network.

Being quick-handed cannot compare to scheming; scheming cannot compare to competing in combat power.

Fu Guang prepared what needed to be prepared; three days later, she opened the member information to look.

A string of S-rank with an A-rank mixed in; almost all the S-rank she knew were present.

Yin Zhu, Shang Ze, Sheng Lai Ke Si, Bai Gao.

Including her, a perfect five-person team.

She deliberately paid extra attention to the spirit entity fields for Sheng Lai Ke Si and Bai Gao: wind spirit, prism.

One a living being, one an inorganic object, quite unique.

Both are rare spirit entities among Sentinels.

However, for a D-rank mission, do we need so many S-rank?

She opened the hidden group chat, 9999+; at the moment she opened it, the group chat was still refreshing.

However, it seems they are arranging a fight.

Before Fu Guang could see clearly, the messages swiped and cleared the screen.

Someone said, "Captain, it's time to assemble."
