Chapter 199 The Awakening of the Super Guide (14)
Midday, military region.
The man stared at his wrist, remaining silent for a long time.
003 pushed open the door and saw the person in a daze, so she placed the prepared special meal in front of him.
"Boss, why are you so absent-minded today?"
Qi Jian snapped out of his daze, opened his hands, and then closed them again.
This is the hand that the little guide infuses with spiritual power in the simulation system.
"fine."
His mental energy surge index had exceeded the threshold by far, making it impossible to measure how much it had increased or decreased.
But he had a very clear feeling.
The sounds of clothes rubbing, breathing, and even internal organs working, which were particularly jarring before, were much weaker today, not to the point of being unbearable for him.
The specially processed food in front of him didn't have the usual strong fishy or gamey smell, which surprisingly gave him some appetite.
His mental energy was still raging, but it had improved a lot.
Qi Jian thought, "An S-rank guide is indeed extraordinary."
It can achieve the same effect as 009 for a week in less than 30 minutes.
He quickly typed a long-awaited task into the screen and sent it to 003.
"Keep an eye on the S-rank guide's movements. If possible, try to recruit him to our group."
003's eyes lit up.
When this guide took the entrance exam, 003 had actually considered having him try counseling his own boss.
But the other party is a newcomer after all, and the situation of their own boss is too troublesome, so 003 can only think about it.
But now that the eldest brother has started to fight for it himself, does that mean there is hope?
003 has never been able to hide his thoughts, and Qi Jian guessed what he was thinking with just one glance.
"Don't get your hopes up too high," Qi Jian poured cold water on 003's enthusiasm. "Our team is indeed strong, but his situation is more unique."
Qi Jian paused for a moment, then continued, "The higher-ups probably don't intend for him to be tied to a specific group."
003 immediately wilted.
"But we can try to get closer to him; maybe he'll be willing to give us special treatment?"
003 cheered up again: "The captain is right, I will definitely take good care of him! I hope he will give us more face in the future."
Qi Jian remained silent, feeling a sudden emptiness in his heart. He quickly finished the special meal in front of him, and when he looked up, he met 003's intelligent gaze. Qi Jian frowned.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"Boss, you're acting a little different today."
Qi Jian pinched the bridge of his nose and put away the bowl: "Is that so?"
003 didn't realize that Qi Jian was unwilling to say more, and continued to look at Qi Jian with bright eyes and a curious expression.
It's not really his fault.
The Tigers have been around for almost ten years, and Qi Jian has always been their absolute backbone. After Qi Jian got injured, he became even more reckless, turning himself into a machine every day.
But this very machine was late for the meeting this morning, and his violent aura seemed to be subtly subsiding. Moreover, he took a minute longer to eat than usual today, and even smacked his lips twice, indicating that he was savoring the food!
The old Qi Jian would never have done such a thing. His excessively volatile mental energy put his five senses under pressure beyond that of other Sentinels. Even the slightest noise around him would cause him pain, and even the technology that could alleviate the condition of most Sentinels was of no use to him.
All food, including nutrient solutions, was torture for him. No flavors could blend together; they were constantly clashing, causing him unbearable suffering.
Therefore, he can only eat specially prepared food, and he eats like he's taking medicine, swallowing it whole.
He ate so slowly today, it seems his condition has indeed improved quite a bit.
This is not only Qi Jian's improvement, but also the hope for the entire Tigers team.
003 wanted to know what had caused his improvement and what he could do about it.
But what he received in return was a bunch of tasks from Qi Jian.
"You're just being idle."
003 left looking miserable, but as soon as he stepped outside, he ran into the other members of the Tiger Team who were waiting outside, and immediately his face lit up with smiles.
"Let me tell you! The boss is much better today! He didn't kick me out the moment I uttered my first nonsense! How do you think he did that?"
"Was there any guidance or discussion given before the meeting today?"
"Doesn't he do counseling every day?"
"Perhaps, we encountered that S-rank?"
"No way, they're welcoming new students today and giving orientation to freshmen. He really finished it in ten minutes?"
"It seems... a little perverted, huh?"
"We'll find out what his name is in the simulation system!"
……
After quickly finishing lunch, Jingli threw herself into the afternoon training, unaware that her simulation system account was being viewed by the renowned Tiger Team in turn.
The afternoon training focused on mecha operation.
There are two types of commonly used mechs in this world: one is lightweight and suitable for everyday use, while the other is heavy and has strong offensive capabilities.
On the battlefield, lightweight mechs are mainly used after the war—for resource surveying and collection, or for rescue and treatment;
It will also be used in logistics—it has a certain degree of survivability and can lift heavier loads, essentially acting as armor plus an automated machine.
In addition, the guide's lightweight mechs also have the function of large-scale traffic control.
Today, all the new students have gathered together to practice operating the lightweight mechs.
Each student has their own lightweight mecha suit, which is provided by the school and serves as a kind of alternative school uniform.
The Sentinel's lightweight armor is black, while the Guide's is gray; both are dirt-resistant colors and easy to distinguish.
This was the first time Jingli, a country bumpkin from the ordinary world, had ever seen such a mecha. This mecha was even lighter than the armor from the previous world, and it didn't feel heavy when worn. By injecting spiritual power, the mecha became a new body. It was very convenient to operate, but it did require some skill to operate it well.
For example, Jingli, as the only guide, was the last to put on the mecha, but he almost messed up when he took the first step—injecting his mental energy.
In Jingli's view, operating such a mecha would require at least the energy from raising piglets in the previous world. So he used the same amount of energy, transforming it into spiritual threads, and slowly outputting it to start the mecha, which caused the mecha to beep and squeal.
All the sentries looked over, their eyes as if they were looking at an idiot—no way, an S-class can't even control a mecha?
But they were quickly proven wrong.
The teacher rushed over and saw the "Excessive Energy Input" error message for the first time; her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
"Um, 001, you only need to use a wisp of your mental energy. Input it slowly in small amounts, try a few times, and you'll find the right amount."
Jingli looked somewhat aggrieved: "I only used a tiny bit, and I was very careful."
The teacher was speechless; it seemed he couldn't teach this genius.
"Then, would you reduce it even further?"
Jingli was very well-behaved and reduced her energy intake as the teacher instructed.
The mech was still beeping incoherently.
Jingli pouted and looked pitifully at the teacher again: "There really aren't many left."
It wasn't that Jingli was deliberately showing off. His energy had been enhanced through three worlds and was now extremely condensed, enough to rival that of an ordinary world. Even if he only used a tiny bit of it as spiritual power, it would still be a very powerful force.
However, the design of the mecha connection is only intended to allow the mecha to communicate with the Sentinel Guide and even ordinary people. It does not require much energy. Asking it to withstand Jingli's mental energy is really asking too much of a machine.
The teacher had no choice but to call the research institute's mecha research department.
"The current mech connection is not applicable to S-class mechs. Let's raise the upper limit a bit more."
The person came in a hurry, left in a daze, and even slapped themselves after leaving, saying, "Am I dreaming?"

Yu Yu's use of mental power is equivalent to a super-rich person taking a bus and putting a 100-yuan bill into the 1-yuan fare box.
