Why are you bringing someone in during shift change again?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, sorry, Levin, please help me out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon pleaded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued: “This A-class matter is crucial for me—it affects my promotion. I must complete every procedure flawlessly. You know how the higher-ups always find faults.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young sorcerer gave her a disgusted glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he finally agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t make it a habit, but next time you must come to my daughter’s birthday party.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course! Thank you, Levin. Perform a mental control and mental resistance test.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she used a voice-transmission spell to instruct Luo De to stand in the proper position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorcerer Levin bent over the control array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief flash of magical light, Luo De inside the crystal chamber showed no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mental control: none. Next, mental resistance…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The machine inside the crystal chamber continued emitting blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Normal human mental resistance is 10—no issue. Increase to 20… 25… 30… hey, for a spiritual warrior, his mental resistance is quite impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had reviewed his medical records—though they were a year old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly remembered his mental resistance had been around 15 to 18.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Levin gradually increased the test values,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>30, 35, 40, 45, 50… 70!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both their expressions changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From surprise to shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Luo De’s mental resistance was seventy—it was that this machine’s maximum test limit was seventy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My god, Sharon, what kind of monster did you bring back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seventy… have you ever seen a number this high?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw one once on an eighth-rank spiritual warrior specialized in countering mental sorcerers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon’s face darkened with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s just a forest warden. Recording such a high value here might put him in danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew what sorcerers were like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even within the Magic Control League, there were fallen sorcerers unable to resist the temptation of forbidden knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, it’s not that bad. Mental resistance isn’t a sorcerer’s usual research focus—we prefer studying spells themselves. That eighth-rank warrior I mentioned? He’s been locked in a deep-sea prison, and hardly anyone has even applied to study him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a sorcerer, Levin offered his perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with such an exaggerated data reading, he’s bound to be invited by the Magic Control League, given that there are still many psychic-related issues unsolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remember wizards have spells that enhance mental resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon, how many wizards have you seen willing to go on field missions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, it really does seem like there aren’t many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1165,"2026-06-20T19:55:30.170Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d041b35c8e78546f42d4310b284951fc3d6e6e448d19853be556dac307e05efe","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-104","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-102",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
