Chapter 241 The Awakening of the Super Guide (55)
“001, I think you should take a break.” Yan Jiu reminded him, “In this general survey of the military region and the campus, almost 80% of the sentries and guides have been upgraded, and 90% of the B-level guides have been upgraded to A-level. The training department has new people awakening almost every two days, so our personnel reserves are not as tight as before.”
Jingli pinched the bridge of her nose and waved to Yan Jiu.
"The problems at the military academies have been solved, but not all the problems nationwide. A nationwide census is the next major step..."
"You know this is the most important part, why don't you go and rest?" Yan Jiu gently pushed Jing Li. "Even 007 isn't as busy as you."
After Ling Ze broke through to S-rank, Qi Jian also broke through to S-rank three days later. If it weren't for his serious financial losses in his early years, this progress would have been even faster.
After that, several outstanding recruits, represented by Fu Li, became the heads of the national census.
However, their task was not to test everyone's mental strength, but to detect diffuse mental entities in the vicinity.
Before the first Sentinel Guide appeared, people with this kind of spirit body were often considered to be mentally ill. Later, as research on Sentinel Guides became more comprehensive, researchers discovered that it was actually an unstable spirit body caused by incomplete mutation.
In other words, their spiritual power has almost reached the threshold of awakening, but they are unable to form their own spiritual body for various reasons.
They can "see" the spiritual entities of others, but only a very small number of people can see their own diffuse spiritual entities.
Today, the research institute is working overtime to improve the lenses originally intended for normal people, enabling sentinels and guides with exceptional mental abilities to see these diffuse spiritual entities.
This point was also raised by Jingli.
On the night after Jingli finished counseling Qi Jian, she deliberately paid attention to the strange "monsters" that had previously permeated the city. They had withered and shriveled up, and the previous comfort was barely noticeable. These "monsters" were no longer so persistent in struggling to emerge.
Jingli had already guessed that these "monsters" were actually diffuse spiritual entities of the sentinels and guides who should have awakened.
Influenced by the devoured particles, they were unable to coalesce into a shape, and because their master's physical condition could not withstand the powerful spirit, they became increasingly dispersed. In the end, they gathered together, tearing each other apart, unable to separate or escape.
If Jingli hadn't been careful and destroyed the membrane caused by the devoured particles, these potential sentinel guides might have actually become mentally unstable "psychotics".
Fortunately, after the devouring particles disappeared, everything slowly returned to normal.
Fu Li and his team searched for potential sentinels and guides across the country, gathered them together, and brought them to the campus for inspection by the research institute and Jing Li.
Before they arrived, Jingli had also conducted a thorough investigation of the small clusters of anomalous spiritual entities in the war zone.
Qiao Heping, Qiao Shan's youngest daughter, was also involved in this work.
Before being sent to the research institute, Qiao Ping, who was then known as Qiao Ping, was suspected of suffering from a serious mental illness. It was only after entering the research institute that he was able to gather his own spiritual body through medication and his own efforts, and become a guide.
After the devoured particles were eliminated, Qiao Heping's mental strength level rose from B- to A-, and she is currently in a smooth transition to A-level. It would be most appropriate for her to participate in this project.
The project proceeded quite smoothly in the war zone. Including the general survey, a total of 23 confirmed awakened Sentinel Guides, 121 with signs of awakening, and 42 prospective Sentinel Guides with diffuse spiritual entities were recruited.
After clearing away the residual effects of the devoured particles from everyone's bodies and settling the "patients" with diffuse spiritual entities with the help of the research institute, Jingli finally had time to catch her breath.
He threw himself back onto his dorm bed, so tired he could barely keep his eyelids open.
Since returning from Half-Shell Star, he has been working non-stop for more than half a month. In fact, this is the only time he can take a short break. Once Fu Li and the others have assembled a team for a whole region, he will be busy again.
During this period, he had overused both his mental and physical energy. Even with 6058 occasionally giving him a few repair cards, he still couldn't keep up.
But this time, unlike before when it was affected by the devouring particles, it was just normal, like the sour feeling brought on by excessive consumption in every world before.
Correspondingly, his physical attributes have also improved rapidly, and he is now a complete S-level physique, and is even close to reaching S+.
He had completely absorbed the power that Mr. Yuan had given him, giving him a vague feeling that he could command the wind and rain in this world.
The satisfaction that comes with growth is indescribable, not to mention that his growth also contributes to making the world a better place.
This joy propelled Jingli forward, and she didn't feel tired at all.
"Master, Xiaobai has received an email addressed to you. Would you like Xiaobai to read it for you?"
Little Bai had somehow gotten to the headboard of Jingli's bed, blinking its beady eyes with an expectant look on its face.
Its owner hadn't spoken to it for a very long time, always rushing around.
Xiaobai is a robot. Although it doesn't understand what loneliness is, it feels very happy to be able to talk to Jingli about things outside of their daily lives.
Who sent the email?
Jingli communicates with most of the people she knows in this world using instant messaging on a terminal, and generally doesn't use email unless it's a very formal message.
"It's Captain 007. =? ? ?="
Sensing its owner's fatigue and desire to get up, Xiaobai thoughtfully adjusted the bed's angle for Jingli.
"I'll read it myself. Could you please order me a dessert, Xiaobai?"
Xiao Bai was initially a little disappointed because Jing Li didn't need its help with reading, but upon hearing the second half of the sentence, it immediately cheered up and swayed its small body, directing the butler to make desserts.
Jingli then opened the email from Qi Jian through the terminal:
"001, hello."
Knowing that you've been very busy lately, and fearing that contacting you about personal matters might bother you, I sent you this email.
I heard you'll be taking a short break soon. Would I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?
—007, Qi Jian.
Just by looking at the wording, Jingli could imagine how the other person had furrowed their brows, typed each word one by one, and then deleted and revised it bit by bit.
He smiled and sent Qi Jian a reply email:
"007, hello~"
After careful consideration, I have decided to take an afternoon from my precious rest time to keep our appointment with you, and I look forward to seeing how you do.
—001, Jingli.
The email was sent successfully, and Xiaobai also delivered dessert.
"Master, you look so happy! Did you enjoy today's dessert?"
Jingli took a big bite and nodded at Xiaobai's little head.
"Mmm, it's so sweet~"

That day, after finishing work, 7 Yuan Yuan frowned, thinking about how to formally invite Jing Li on a date.
He sat upright in front of his office, staring at the terminal in front of him. Half an hour passed, and he had only typed: 001, Hello. (He had just deleted the words "Dear," as they were too frivolous.)
The other members of the Tiger Team sat to the side, staring at each other in bewilderment:
-What happened to the boss?
-I don't know?
-Are you feeling unwell again?
- I didn't call the police either.
……
After a long pause, Qi Yuanyuan sighed and looked seriously at Su Qinghan, who attracted the most attention from suitors: "If you're pursuing someone, how should you usually go on a date?"
Su Qinghan, who has never been in a relationship: ...
Those who have never been in a relationship: I suspect you're showing off, but we don't (and dare not) have any evidence...
