25 Missions
◎Daily tasks, be a good follower◎
The ground in the military area is indeed much more complete than that in the White Tower on the edge. Everyone is at least equipped with mental guns, smoke bombs, and capture nets.
Kong Wei explained that the actual ground was no match for the White Tower area, with severe environmental interference and a high probability of the team getting separated. Therefore, everyone had to be fully equipped to ensure that even if they were left alone, they would not be left defenseless and unable to resist.
Yan Xunzhi has only been trained in using mental firearms for a short time. Her current mental strength can only condense three bullets in a row, and her aim is not very accurate. She can only dream of defeating the enemy with one blow.
So Kong Wei asked her, "It's best if you stay by my side all the time. If you lose contact, run to the nearest ground tower and don't worry about anything else."
Yan Xunzhi was a little nervous, "Anything else?"
Kong Wei pondered for a moment, "Just foreign objects... or flashing lights, communication airdrops, etc., ignore them. If you lose contact, don't try to find your team link again, and don't worry about whether there are other teams around. Just go straight to the ground tower."
She was quite reassured about this, "You're a speed type, you can run fast, so escaping on the ground should be no problem."
"..." Yan Xunzhi felt the word "escape" was piercing.
She hadn't even gone up yet, but she had already been determined to escape!
He took a break during basic training in the morning, was abused by Kong Wei in the afternoon, and took half of the S-level guide's meal as psychological comfort. At night, he crawled back to the double room like a dead dog.
Not to mention, the most effective thing is that her sleep quality is extremely good, and she won’t be woken up by Kong Wei in the morning.
She almost didn't hear her alarm clock, which was set to the loudest.
After two painful weeks of repeating this cycle, Yan Xunzhi and Kong Wei finally reached the connection standard to the ground.
Jin Xiao, who had been training with Yan Xunzhi that morning, was amazed when he heard this. "It actually took you two two weeks to connect? I thought this kind of high compatibility wouldn't require any adjustment, and we'd be able to connect instantly."
"..." Yan Xunzhi finally found someone who was even less cultured than her in choosing words and sentences, "This word doesn't seem to fit here."
"It's enough for you to understand! People say so many words so that the other person can understand quickly!" Jin Xiao has his own self-consistent logic.
Yan Xunzhi actually thought it was correct.
The structure of the military district is almost the same as that of the White Tower. Therefore, although Yan Xunzhi had only been on the ground once, he was quite familiar with the process. He quickly changed his clothes, connected the exoskeleton, and waited in front of the gate of the ground tower to set off.
Kong Wei pulled her back and said, "You haven't connected with me yet."
Oh, I forgot! Yan Xunzhi, who wanted to show off once, said embarrassedly, "I didn't need a chain last time..."
Kong Wei was wearing a helmet, so he couldn't see the changes on his face, but he quickly connected with her successfully, and the green light on the helmet came on with a ding.
Ning Yue went to the surface this time to find a public guide. The matching rate was about fifty-odd, not passing, but barely usable. After all, he was an S-class sentinel, so he still had to go to the surface with a guide.
It was just a bit of a bonus for her, but for that A-rank public guide, it was completely like risking his life to accompany a gentleman...
Having never come across this type of person before, Yan Xunzhi was quite curious. He hesitated for a while, and while the others were adjusting, he greeted Ning Yue on a familiar note and quietly walked over to her.
The public guide was very enthusiastic and handed her a small card directly. "My name is Wen Cheng! If you need a guide in the future, you can come to me."
"Okay." Yan Xunzhi accepted it and gave her his card. "My name is Yan Xunzhi."
Although she couldn't see her expression, she always felt that the moment she said her name was Yan Xunzhi...
The light bulb in the little guide's eyes went out with a click.
With a high matching degree and an even higher level difference, she probably won’t have the chance to wait until the day Yan Xunzhi looks for her… Wen Cheng silently accepted the card and crossed out this potential customer.
After chatting for a while, I learned that public whistleblower is a position that requires high talent, high requirements, high risk and high returns. The benefits are excellent, the salary is among the best, and they also recruit retired whistleblower, which attracts a lot of people every year.
Yan Xunzhi was a little curious, "What can Officer Kong do? She and I are a perfect match."
"Of course, we can..." Wen Cheng hesitated, "But S-level guides already have vast spiritual realms, and their connections with most people are above average. There's no need to do this. It's a waste of talent."
The penniless little money-grubber only remembered her saying that public guides had good benefits and earned a lot...
A little dazed, "Why... Isn't this more convenient?"
Wen Cheng reached out and tapped his helmet, pointing to his head. "You need to take medicine. It's very harmful to your body. Public guides trade their lives for money, so they can't do this for long."
Yan Xunzhi exclaimed, "Ah!"
"Officer Kong and Officer Ning's compatibility must be around 60 for them to be mutually selectable, but my compatibility is only over 50, which is not even qualified. The connection won't be very effective. It all depends on experience to connect. Why do you think you can get on the ground with her?"
How would she know that? Yan Xunzhi shook his head.
Wen Cheng smiled and said, "Once I'm on the ground, I'll continue taking the medicine to force my mind to align with the other party's mental realm. I can raise it by about 20%, which will be a great help to Officer Ning."
Yan Xunzhi was quite surprised, "There is such a medicine?"
On second thought, if such a useful medicine hadn't been distributed, the damage to the body must be more than what Wen Cheng had just described...
"Those who are good at this job don't necessarily have an advantage when they're first matched." Wen Cheng nodded, recalling her journey into the industry. "When I first started matching, I was only in my early seventies, which was pretty average for an A-level sentinel. But after a while of matching, I found that my matching rank was very similar to many people's. In other words, with a similar matching rate, I could match with many sentins."
"We can be compared to a puzzle. There are a lot of corners and edges, so it might not fit perfectly. But if we try changing the direction, there's always a piece that can fit. There are actually many such directions. So after discovering this ability, I became interested in becoming a public guide and also took a drug test."
"It turned out that my drug resistance was very low, and the aftereffects were mild," Wen Cheng said with a hint of pride. "That's why I was selected to be a public guide."
This condition is completely for gene screening. Wen Cheng's genes are naturally inert to this drug.
So this is the talent he needs. Yan Xunzhi pondered for a moment, wondering...
Well...she could try it too...
She felt that every cell in her body was lazy.
This time, almost all the people who went to the ground were present, with only two S-level sentries, Kong Wei and Ning Yue, and no new ones were seen.
Wen Cheng said, "That's a lot! Usually there's only one, and there are only a few S-level ones in the military district. We can't have them all every time!"
There are a total of seven S-outlets in the Northwest Three Districts, and they take turns to lead the team to the ground. Usually, each time a mission is carried out, only one S-outlet will be sent in the same direction.
This time, Kong Wei and Ning Yue had just been transferred here, and considering they were unfamiliar with Northwest District 3, they decided to team up together for a while. Two S-rank sentries joining the team for daily missions was already quite a luxury!
The people over there were all dressed. Kong Wei saw that Yan Xunzhi was chatting happily and had no idea that she was going to go to the ground soon, so he came over to pick her up.
Wen Cheng walked away at the right time to make final confirmation with Ning Yue.
Kong Wei checked her weapon and reminded her again, "We're going to patrol separately this time. You don't have to spread out since you have no experience. Just stay with me."
Yan Xunzhi nodded, thinking, but I have no experience...
Thanks to not listening in class and not reading after class, she didn't even know what dispersed patrols were...
Having seen the surface, he'd assumed it was all like this. But when Yan Xunzhi emerged from the tower, he was greeted by a pristine blue sky. Yellow sand lay quietly beneath the ground, partially covering the tower and swirling in the occasional breeze.
Yan Xunzhi asked in surprise, "No wind and sand?"
"It's a quiet period now," Kong Wei explained. "Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to disperse our patrols, and we wouldn't be able to see anything if we did."
The ground in the north is divided into two periods - the windy and sandy period and the calm period. The switching between the two periods is irregular and the transition is sudden.
During calm periods, visibility is better and foreign objects are more active. They take advantage of this opportunity to inspect the surroundings and expel or kill invading foreign objects. When the sandstorm arrives, they retreat to the ground tower to check for any omissions and clean up any gaps.
As expected, after leaving the underground tower, everyone tacitly went to different ends and dispersed. Kong Wei's rabbit reappeared, quickly dug a hole in the sand, and swam around in the sand.
Yan Xunzhi's eyes flickered, and he saw two bulging sandbags beside him, and a red-crowned crane walking around with its long legs.
The guides all released their spiritual bodies.
The sentinel's mental strength is insufficient, so it is difficult for him to release his spiritual body, and he can only do reconnaissance.
Yan Xunzhi followed behind Kong Wei, watching her intently exploring the surroundings, but he himself didn't know what to do. With nothing else to do, he held his breath and focused his attention into his own spiritual realm.
The little leopard was translucent, shaking its tail, its eyes half-opened with fatigue and weakness, as if it was too lazy to pay attention to her, but had to pay attention to her.
It seems that we are still a long way from being able to release the spiritual body.
She retreated angrily.
Distraction inevitably slowed his pace, and in just a moment, Kong Wei had already walked a distance. Fortunately, the ground was clear of wind and sand, so they didn't get lost at this distance. Yan Xunzhi hurried to catch up.
After the wind stopped, the ground was covered with a thick layer of yellow sand. Even wearing an anti-sinking exoskeleton, it was inevitable that one would step deep and one foot shallow, which was extremely difficult.
Yan Xunzhi finally caught up with him, but Kong Wei suddenly stopped.
She couldn't brake in time and was almost hit. She seemed to fall to the side when she dodged, "Ah!"
Kong Wei was quick to grab her and said, "Be careful."
After he managed to stand firmly, Kong Wei couldn't help laughing, "What's the rush?"
"I fell behind..." Yan Xunzhi muttered softly, remembering the lesson he'd learned in class: one must pay full attention when on the ground. He quickly covered up his own distraction and said, "Instructor Kong, why did you stop so suddenly?"
Kong Wei pointed to the ground two or three steps away and said, "There's something."
Yan Xunzhi stretched his head to look over. The yellow sand was silent, with only the occasional swirl on the surface.
Kong Wei had already drawn his gun, loaded the bullet, and aimed.
"Bang!"
The noise was much louder than the first time she brought them to the surface, and it exploded four or five feet deep in the sand!
Yellow sand splashed everywhere, and her helmet was instantly covered by the sand, obscuring her vision. Without hesitation, she fired two more shots at the opening that had been blown open!
This time it was much quieter. Yan Xunzhi could only hear the muffled sound of bullets hitting flesh.
The yellow sand naturally fell back to the ground, sliding down to fill the dent created by the explosion. She saw a deep black-purple color slowly oozing out from the ground, staining the gravel before being buried by fresh yellow sand.
Kong Wei put away his gun and casually sprayed some potion on it. "It's done, let's go."

Pickled Fish: Is there a job that... doesn't require talent... or I just happen to have this talent... that pays well and has little work...
Kong Wei: Yes.
Pickled Fish:! Can I use some connections...
Kong Wei: Don’t worry, you will be able to do it yourself in the future.
