Chapter 32 Part 1 Moved

Xiào Mu saw Hawke in a daze, and couldn’t help but laugh. He waved his hand before Hawke’s eyes, “Come back to your senses yet?”

Hawke grabbed Lin Mu’s hand and asked, “Really? Really?!”

Xiào Mu nodded, “Really.”

“Oh my God,” Hawke’s eyes widened. “I didn’t notice it at all. How did you do it?” As he said that, Hawke lowered his voice, “Are you also using inhibitors? Or are your spiritual filaments too weak so it’s difficult to be detected?”

Xiào Mu asked, “Inhibitor?”

“It’s the medicine that can hide a guide’s pheromone. It is contraband though,” Hawke replied subconsciously. After saying this, he was taken aback, “You don’t know about the inhibitor? Then how did you hide your pheromone?”

Xiào Mu: “I controlled the spiritual filaments in my brain, and establish a spiritual barrier when it is really uncontrollable, then prevents the filaments from leaving the barrier range.”

Hawke’s mouth opened in surprise, “You can control it without medicine?

Xiào Mu nodded. He had only come to know about the existence of inhibitor so he didn’t use it. And according to Hawke, the inhibitor is contraband, so he has no way to get it by himself.

Hawke looked at Xiào Mu incredulously, “How much is your spiritual power?”

Xiào Mu hesitated for a moment, but decided to answer honestly in the end, “Level S.”

Hawke was stunned by the answer and repeated after Xiào Mu stupidly, “Level S?”

Hawke’s reaction made Xiào Mu felt helpless, “How about we continue this talk after you calmed down?”

“AHHHHH…” Hawke yelled suddenly and grabbed Xiào Mu’s arm, “How can I calm down?! Level S guide, a live one! I actually met a living Level S guide, I really wanted to tell everyone about this.”

Xiào Mu: “Only you can know about this. I hope you don’t tell anyone.”

Hawke blinked and gradually calmed down, “I know, I just randomly express my thoughts. I will never say anything out,” he hesitated, “But can I tell cousin?”

Xiào Mu shook his head, “I don’t want to take risks. I’m not ready to expose my identity.”

Hawke: “You don’t want to be locked in Golden Tower, is it?”

“Yes, you should be thinking the same too, right?”

Hawke nodded but shook his head after that, “I awakened as a guide when I was very young. My family concealed my identity very tacitly and they hired private tutors for me since childhood so I learn at home. I also get training since childhood. I didn’t know that I was a guide until middle school. At that time, I was told that if someone knew about my identity, I would be locked in the Golden Tower and lose my freedom. Hence I have stayed concealed since young.”

Xiào Mu sighed, “Your family must love you very much to keep concealing your identity for you.”

Hawke laughed, “Yes, my family treats me very well, but it is a tradition in my dad’s family to conceal the identity of a guide. My dad is also a guide, although no one knows about it.”

Xiào Mu was surprised to hear that. Then he asked, “Does Manager Zhao know your identity?”

“Yeah,” Hawke said, “The relatives from both my father and dad’s side know that. Our family members have been working to fight for the guide’s freedom in case anyone of us got exposed one day. It’s a pity that there has been no big progress in making medicine to recover spiritual power. ” He said, looking at Xiào Mu with bright eyes, “If you can join us, our plan will be successful.”

“What’s the plan?”

Hawke scratched his hair, “I may not be able to explain it clearly, but I know that as long as the medicine to restore spiritual power can be produced efficiently, the chance of success of our plan will be very high. How about I let my cousin explain the details to you? Don’t worry. My cousin will definitely not reveal your identity.”

Seeing Xiào Mu thinking for a while and hesitated, Hawke anxiously added, “I give you my promise. If my cousin tells other people who you are, I won’t talk to him anymore, and I… I will take the initiative to tell Golden Tower that I am a guide.”

“No need,” Xiào Mu sighed. Since Hawke can say those words, he had to believe him and nodded. “I will talk to Manager Zhao. I also hope that guides can freely choose their lifestyle instead of staying in the Golden Tower, waiting for people to arrange their pairing.”

“Great!” Hawke jumped up and opened his terminal. “I’ll let my cousin come over now.”

Xiào Mu stopped Hawke from calling, “Let’s wait after we get off work. We should change to a suitable place for conversation. I will deal with the talk later.”

Hawke reluctantly nodded, “Well, then,” he said, looking at Xiào Mu expectantly, “Can I see your spiritual state and spiritual animal? I have never seen a Level S guide!”

Xiào Mu smiled and said, “Okay, but get closer.” He leaned close and almost touched Hawke’s forehead. Next, he established a spiritual barrier to cover them before releasing all spiritual filaments.

Fatty stood by Xiào Mu’s feet and raised its hands. Then it tilted its head and looked at Hawke curiously. Its whole body seemed to be covered in a transparent film. Suddenly, Fatty tilted its head and swept its fluffy tail in front of it, staring at the tiny yellow dot on the tip of its tail.

“So cute!” Hawke looked at Fatty with bright eyes. “Is this a squirrel?”

“En,” Xiào Mu nodded, and hesitated for a moment to ask, “What is your spiritual animal?”

“Paramecium!” Hawke pointed to the tip of Fatty’s tail. “Only a paramecium can be so small. It is actually hard to see with the n.a.ked eye. My only spiritual filament is attached to it so that it has a light on it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find it, even for me.”

Xiào Mu: “…” Leo’s sarcastic lines suddenly appeared in his mind: Are you a paramecium?

Hawke did not notice the emotions in Xiào Mu’s heart, but curiously looked at the film surrounding Xiào Mu’s spiritual filaments, “Is this the spiritual barrier you are talking about?”

“Yes, it is.”

“You’re really amazing,” Hawke exclaimed in admiration and pouted, “I only have one spiritual filament. People on the Internet laugh at guides with paramecium spiritual animal as a single cell individual.”

Xiào Mu pondered for a moment before asking, “Have you never exercised your spiritual power? It stands to reason that spiritual power can be enhanced through exercise.”

“Yes, but I still can’t generate extra filaments.” Hawke was a little frustrated.

Hearing that make Xiào Mu’s heart moved, and he was about to make suggestions. Then someone slapped the door loudly and snapped, “Hawke, Xiào Mu, haven’t you finished ‘doing it’? Quickly zip up your pants and get out to work.”

Xiào Mu’s mouth twitched, and Hawke turned to open the door. He glared at the person outside, “What are you talking about? Do you want to try being my guinea pig?”

“No, no need,” the person who lifted the injured person outside the door waved his hand again and again. Seeing the speed of Hawke opening the door, he knew that he had misunderstood, and laughed, “I’m kidding, but the person we got here is seriously injured. He needs immediate attention. ”

“If you are that worried, you should call the emergency number and send him to the hospital!” Hawke humphed. Although he said so, he has started walking to the ward to treat the wounded.

The battledome began, and one by one injured patients were sent to the infirmary. Xiào Mu and Hawke both got busy until after the 10th patient was dealt with before they had time to rest. At this moment, the door of the ward was knocked. Hawke turned to look at the person at the door, and exclaimed in surprise, “Cousin, why are you here? I haven’t contacted you yet!”

Zhao Sheng smiled and said, “I came to find Xiào Mu for the medicine. Did you forget, I said yesterday that I want to cooperate with him. Why do you want to contact me?”

Hawke glanced at the door, then he replied with a serious expression, “I can’t say here. It’s very important, super important!”

Zhao Sheng showed a look like he didn’t expect that. Hawke is pure-hearted and always had a big heart. Such seriousness is rare. But this also shows that what he wanted to say is extremely important. Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but become curious, what would be something that is important and could not be said casually?

Xiào Mu took out the porcelain bottle containing the low-grade boost pill from his backpack, walked to Zhao Sheng, and handed it to him, “If it is convenient, let’s find a quiet place to talk after we get off work.”

Zhao Sheng took the medicine, and the medicine disappeared in his hand in the next second.

Xiào Mu looked at the space ring in Zhao Sheng’s hand enviously.

Zhao Sheng said, “It’s about 90 pills. 1,000 star coins per pill mean 90,000 coins. I will transfer the money to you.” After he transferred the money to Xiào Mu, Zhao Sheng sent a message on his terminal and said, “Both of you have to go to class tomorrow, so just get off work now. We’ll talk.”

Hawke hesitated, “There are still 10 arena matches left. What about the injured?”

Zhao Sheng pointed at his left wrist and explained, “I have asked someone to take over, let’s go!”

Xiào Mu rejected the suggestion to hitch a ride with them. He drove his aircraft and followed Zhao Sheng’s deep blue aircraft, and they stopped at a single-family villa with a beautiful environment. Walking into the villa, Zhao Sheng instructed the robot to make drinks and desserts. Next, he turned on the villa’s defense system and sound isolation system, before pointed to the sofa, “Sit down, it’s absolutely safe here.”

Hawke could not hold back anymore and pulled at Zhao Sheng’s arm to sit down. Then he blurted without a pause, “Xiào Mu is that medicine maker. He is a guide, a Level S one. I told him about our family’s plan and asked him to join us. But I can’t tell him properly about our plan so I want you to explain to him.”

Zhao Sheng crossed his fingers on his knees. He leaned forward slightly, and his face was full of surprise. He looked at Xiào Mu’s expression and asked, “Really?”

Xiào Mu nodded. The next moment, a majestic cougar appeared in front of Xiào Mu, baring its teeth at him with its mouth wide open. Xiào Mu moved back with a wry smile, and pointed at the cougar which is taller than him even when sitting, “I am quite timid, and your spiritual animal is too fierce.”

“Sorry,” Zhao Sheng apologized mildly. The cougar disappeared instantly, his eyes were bright and excited, “I believe that my spiritual power is not bad. But except for your short stature and weaker physical fitness, I can’t detect you as a guide at all.”

“He’s Level S.” Hawke triumphantly said with his chin up, as if the person with Level S spiritual power is him.

Xiào Mu released Fatty and silently instructed in his heart. Fatty raised its hands and shook them back and forth as if it is giving them a New Year greeting. Its actions were very cute.

“So cute!” Hawke couldn’t resist at all, staring at Fatty with beaming eyes.

Zhao Sheng smiled and said, “Thank you for your trust. As Hawke said it, the Huo1 family has been planning for many years, but unfortunately, there has been no progress.”

“Guides are only special due to their special ability – they can give sentinel spiritual treatment. Although the guide pheromone agent in the market can treat mental confusion, the retention time will decrease as the use of guide pheromone agent increases. Moreover, prolonged usage of the same type of guide pheromone agent will produce resistance. Then the effect will be greatly weakened, or even completely useless.”

“Our plan is to solve the problem fundamentally so that the ability of the guide is no longer unique. We are committed to inventing a spiritual power medicine that can replace the guide and has the same effect as the spiritual treatment.”

As Zhao Sheng said that, he clenched his fists and his voice became excited, “According to our tests, the mid-grade healing pill you made has this effect.”

Xiào Mu thought for a moment. He admired their ideas. He had only thought about how he would convince Golden Tower to obtain freedom after being exposed, without considering other guides. However, after thinking about it, the possibility of him getting privileges (freedom) alone is very low. If the problem is solved from the root cause, he doesn’t need to worry at all.

“I agree with your ideas, it’s just…” Xiào Mu frowned, “The medicine I make needs the guide to inject their spiritual power into it, so we still need the guides.”

Zhao Sheng pondered for a while, and asked, “How long is needed for a guide to make a pill?”

Since Xiào Mu decided to talk about it, he won’t hide the information, “I don’t know about other guides. If I only make healing pills, I can take a pill every 2 hours to restore 2,000 spiritual power. With this, I can make about 500 pills during the day.”

Zhao Sheng immediately caught the keyword, “Restore 2,000 spiritual power?”

Only then did Xiào Mu remember that this world doesn’t have a specific value for spiritual power. He thought about it, and explained in easy-to-understand words, “It means people who have just reached Level A (80002) can restore a quarter of their spiritual power with the pill.”

Zhao Sheng’s jaw tightened, “In other words, if one takes 3 pills in 6 hours3, they will be able to return their spiritual power to the max?”

“Yes.”

“No, that’s not right,” Zhao Sheng suddenly thought of the test results. “According to the test, the mid-grade healing pill can only restore half of the spiritual power for sentinels who has just reached Level D (2000).”

Xiào Mu explained, “I’m talking about high-grade healing pill. I only learned it recently. It is better than middle-grade.” Since he had made top-grade today, Xiào Mu automatically thought of top-grade when he answered the question. He forgot that Zhao Sheng only knows about middle-grade ones.

“Oh my God, Xiào Mu, you are so amazing!” Hawke heard this and looked at him admiringly.

Xiào Mu touched his nose awkwardly, “I just had better luck.” If he doesn’t have a golden finger like the game system, he would not be able to make these medicines.

Zhao Sheng restrained his excitement as he said, “If it is as you said, then your worry is completely unnecessary. Guides often need to rest for some time after giving spiritual treatment. Many sentinels cannot be treated in time, especially on the battlefield. This medicine could solve these troubles.”

“Your medicine can completely replace the guide. It is even more powerful and convenient than a guide.” Zhao Sheng added, “With you at our side, our ideas will definitely be realized.”

Xiào Mu: “The number of sentinels is too large. So you definitely can’t rely on me alone. I have replied to related posts on the forum and suggested guides to use their spiritual power to make the medicine. Maybe someone will succeed soon. I think we can get more allies because it shouldn’t be just me and Hawke who dislike the locked-up life in the Golden Tower.

“I’ve read that post,” Hawke said excitedly, “So you deliberately put up that idea!”

Zhao Sheng nodded, “You are right. I believe that it is human nature to desire freedom. Even though there are people who enjoy the caged canary-like life at the status quo, it is definitely not all of them.”

“I will secretly follow the news of guides making medicines. If someone succeeds, I will arrange contacts and win more allies.”

Xiào Mu: “I have an abrupt idea.”

Zhao Sheng looked at Xiào Mu questioningly, “What is it?”

After Xiào Mu said his thoughts4, Zhao Sheng looked at him in surprise, while Hawke jumped up from the sofa, “Xiào Mu, you are so smart. I actually understand everything you said!”

Xiào Mu couldn’t help laughing, and looked at Zhao Sheng, “I will need your support. You have to handle most of the processes and I can probably only make medicine.”

“For this plan, you are irreplaceable,” Zhao Sheng said, “I will arrange it as soon as possible.”

Xiào Mu nodded, “The sooner this suggestion is achieved, the faster the speed of your plan,” he got up, “it’s getting late now, I’ll go back to the dorm first.”

Hawke quickly stood up, “I’ll go back to the dorm too.”

Zhao Sheng thought for a while. Since they have said everything that should be said, he offered, “I will send you off.”

Chapter 32 Part 2 Moved

The next day, Xiào Mu got up for a run as usual. He was pleasantly surprised to find that he could run 8 kilometers in 10 minutes, several times faster than before. Moreover, after running, his body was not uncomfortable as before. When attending the PE class, he completed the items more easily. At the end of the PE class, Xiào Mu only used a quarter of his stamina, and he just panted lightly; unlike the uncomfortable feeling previously. When he calmed down, he immediately pretended to be tired and powerless. Then he sat at a corner to rest, secretly worried.

During training at night, with Leo’s keenness, he would definitely find something wrong. How would he explain himself then? No, he has to find a way to avoid Leo!

Leo, the person who Xiào Mu wanted to avoid, is blankly looking at the rows of students queuing in a square at the moment. He wore a pair of army boots and dressed in a black costume. This is the PE class of the university category, Class 3 of the 1st grade. Even though the students are physically and mentally exhausted by Major General Leo’s iron-hard and bloody methods, they still look at him excitedly and admiringly. Their class is so lucky! They were actually picked by Major General Leo, who temporarily attend their PE classes and showed them fighting skills on the spot.

Leo walked around, and finally stopped in front of the tall sentinel with short yellow hair, “You, step out.”

“My God! This kid, Roa is too lucky!”

“Could it be that Major General Leo knew him, so he deliberately chose him to guide him personally?!”

“It’s great to have an amazing father.”

Leo glanced over sharply, and the students who were whispering shuddered all over. They immediately stood upright with their heads looking straight in front. Let alone talking, they didn’t even dare to turn their eyes.

Roa looked excited and said, “Thank you Major General Leo for your advice.”

Leo looked at Roa faintly, “At the school, I am a teacher,” he finished, and threw a glance at Roa, “Let’s begin!”

Soon, under the gaze of all the classmates, Roa personally demonstrated what it means to be a punching bag. There are various colors on his body. He already mobilized his spiritual power to strengthen his vision and perception, wanting to see Leo’s actions clearly to dodge them. However, even when his spiritual power is consumed more than half, he found that everything was in vain. Even if he used his vision to the extreme, he couldn’t see Leo’s moves, let alone dodging them.

“En…” Suddenly, throbbing pain shoots up to his mind. Knowing that his spiritual power is overused, Roa hurriedly said, “Please wait.”

After he finished speaking, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he lightly touched the ring of the little finger of his left hand. The next moment, a pill appeared in his palm. Roa swallowed it without hesitation, and his original pale face returned to a healthy blush.

“Teacher, I am not your opponent, you are too good.”

Leo frowned while staring at Roa’s expression, “Where did you get the pill you just took?” He would never recognize it wrongly, that pill is a mid-grade healing pill, exactly the same as the one he bought from Xiào Mu.

Everyone in Class 3 listened with their ears perked up. They could see clearly that Roa is in a very bad state just now, but he recovered a lot soon after taking the pill. This pill is definitely good medicine.

Roa hesitated before saying, “My sister made it,” he seemed to be anxious, “My sister just learned medicine not long ago, and she didn’t dare to give it to others after she made it. I tested the ingredients and it is harmless to the body. To encourage her, I try to eat it. After taking the pill, I found that I could restore spiritual power, so I took the rest with me.”

An exclamation came from the square queue, “Oh my God, restore spiritual power?”

“Is it the one discussed on the forum, the medicine that is made with a guide’s spiritual power?”

Leo snorted, “Not long after she learned to make medicine?” From the first time he saw the medicine until now, it has already been more than half a month.

“Yes,” Roa thought Leo didn’t believe that Eileen could make a finished product since she only started learning medicine not long ago and added, “This is a recent cooperation project between the Pharmacy Association and Golden Tower. She is also worried that the medicine she made will not work so she dare not spread it.”

“Then your sister is really talented in medicine.”

Roa smiled, “My sister said that their pharmacy teacher also said the same. She has always dreamed of becoming a high-level pharmacist, making medicines that recover spiritual power, and helping all sentinels who suffered damages in their spiritual state!”

“That’s awesome.” Leo continued to snort coldly, curving his index finger, “Continue.”

Soon, Roa fell to the ground gro.a.n.ing painfully and was sent to the infirmary under Leo’s instruction. Leo’s eyes scanned the rest of the students, “Did you see the moves? Train by yourself now.”

The students in Class 3 looked at each other, they didn’t see anything at all! What to see with such a fast speed?

“Oh my god, such a demonic teacher. Seeing Roa being beaten so hard, I don’t envy him for getting selected by Major General Leo.”

“I really sympathize with him.”

“Don’t be sympathetic, he has a guide sister who can make medicine to recover spiritual power!”

“Oh, I must pursue her. With her, I don’t have to worry about mental confusion anymore.”

“Stop dreaming, she is mine.”

“…” All sentinels in Class 3 became rivals in love at the same time.

After Leo finished giving his instructions, he walked away to the entrance of the exercise hall. A big beauty, Lyle in white casual clothes stood by the wall next to the door. Seeing Leo coming over, he waved his hand, “You are so slow, I thought you didn’t see me!”

Leo: “What are you doing here?”

Lyle put a hand on Leo’s shoulder, “I say, are you addicted to being a teacher? I finally got a day off, can’t I have a meal with you?”

Leo pursed his lips, “How is Zone F?”

“Lieutenant General Louis will take over, so I don’t know,” Lyle said, changing the subject. “Did the kid from the Greene family messed with you? You beat him up so unceremoniously?”

Leo sneered, “He doesn’t have the ability, but still wants to bully other people. I just make him recognize his limit.”

Lyle raised his eyebrows and curiously asked, “Who is being bullied?”

“That…” Leo originally wanted to say ‘weak chicken’, but thinking of Xiào Mu’s face, he inexplicably rejected using bad words to describe him, so Leo simply said, “Xiào Mu.”

Lyle and Leo have been playing together since they were young, and they know each other well. The first half of Leo’s words are clearly meant to be sarcastic, but he actually stopped himself, which is really unusual. What made him even more strange was his behavior. Lyle removed his hand on Leo’s shoulder and looked at Leo with his arms folded, “I say, brother, since when you will take revenge for a bullied person? Even I don’t get this kind of treatment. Could it be your heart is moved?”

Hearing that, Leo was shocked, but his expression didn’t change. He unceremoniously revealed, “Major General Lyle, you shouldn’t forget that you have always been the one who bullied others.”

Lyle smiled and didn’t press further for the truth. He felt that with Leo’s slowness (dense), Leo probably didn’t know what his heart felt. Pretending not to realize that Leo had ignored his question, he said, “Let’s go for lunch.”

The two had lunch together. After they were separated, Leo sat in the back of the aircraft and blankly swiping on his terminal. On the search box, he typed the word ‘how to know if one is moved?’. Clicking on the top entry on the search page, he read through the content. The more he looks at it, the more rigid his expression becomes.

When one’s heart is moved,
1. Facing the crush, their heart will thump wildly.
2. Their face will blush uncontrollably.
3. Their surrounding would look like surrounded in pink bubbles, other people would feel that the air is exuding a sweet aura…

Leo thought to himself, ‘See, that bastard Lyle likes to talk nonsense, how could he be moved!’

He continued swiping to the end and saw the words – ‘from observation of guide’s mood when they are facing sentinels.’

Leo: “…”
