Chapter 46 Part 1 Reservation

Xiào Mu arrived at the company on time at 8:30 in the morning. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the hall is crowded with people. Some were sitting on the sofa, and some had no seats so they just stand around talking excitedly in twos and threes. The guard hurriedly blocked in front of Xiào Mu, and the people in the hall instantly reacted to the movement. The moment Xiào Mu appeared, all the gazes swept over. Xiào Mu is still wearing the peaked cap with a long brim. He pressed the brim down and asked, “How did you guys manage to come up?”

Xiào Mu’s figure is petite among a group of big men where the minimum height is at 1.9 meters and the majority is over 2 meters. It is precisely because of the difference in height and the brim of the hat is big enough that the people cannot see his face.

“So small, is that a guide?”

“Definitely. It’s just that I didn’t feel the aura of a guide, and my terminal did not react.”

“Could it be a god-level guide?”

“I also heard that a god-level guide can perfectly cover up his aura.”

Listening to the noisy discussion, Xiào Mu’s mouth twitched; his words have been completely ignored! He opened the terminal and checked Xiaojin’s appointment records. Then he felt a bit speechless. These people are actually the sentinels who made appointments for today’s spiritual treatment. His sight swept past the group; there are 20 people in total, no more, no less. But the appointment instruction sheet already mentioned the exact date and time, with an approximate time of each turn. Half of the people here were arranged to come in the afternoon. But in the end, everyone arrived even earlier than him.

“The session starts after 10.30 am so why are you all here so early?” Xiào Mu asked helplessly and added, “Lunch is not provided here.”

“Of course we have to be early. There is a guide here. In case we are late, it would be too rude. I will take care of my own lunch, and I can even treat you too.”

“My treat, my treat! Just order whatever you want.”

Suddenly, Xiào Mu felt like he is here to fish for free food.

A sentinel suddenly asked, “Are you Xiào Mu?”

“It must be!” Another person raised his hand to compare a height, “I have seen the photos. Not only do you have the same figure as Xiào Mu, but you can also hide your aura perfectly.”

Xiào Mu hesitated for a moment. These sentinels’ deducing abilities are too strong. He flicked the brim of his hat. Just covering his face seemed useless.

“I am,” Xiào Mu simply confessed. Taking off his hat, his delicate face is revealed. With a serious expression, Xiào Mu said, “I suggest that you guys go shopping in the mall or go home first. The office needs to maintain silence.”

“It’s really Xiào Mu! I actually managed to see a god-level guide with my own eyes!”

“Wow! He looked better up close!

“I must be dreaming. Being single for 30 years, the speed of this hand finally have achieved a big thing1.”

Xiào Mu coughed slightly, “If you can’t keep quiet, please leave.”

The hall instantly became quiet. Xiào Mu glanced at the time and thought to himself that he should get Zhao Sheng to send someone to add one more restriction on the elevator to the 3rd floor, which is one could only arrive at most, half an hour earlier than the allocated time. Otherwise, the hall will be crowded with people every day, like a vegetable market.

After the crowd stopped making noise, Xiào Mu is satisfied and signaled to the head of the guard, Ah Da. The guards asked the sentinels to make way and escorted Xiào Mu to the office. Xiào Mu opened the store homepage and set the number of pills to be sold today. Then he sets the opening time at 10.00 am, and then checked at the message area. The message area is super active, and comments keep coming in, causing Xiào Mu to be dazzled by the speed. He tapped at the page and slowly swipe down manually.

“Mr. Zhao really has quite the ability, he actually managed to invite the god-level guide to work in the company.”

“Ahhhh, what use of my hands? I want to see the god-level guide quickly too. The speed of this hand is too slow. I only make managed to get an appointment 7 days later.”

“The god-level guide is really nice. Not only does he make medicine, but he also personally provides spiritual treatments. He is closer to the citizens, unlike ‘some people’ in the Golden Tower.”

“Yes, yes, I used to go to the guide hospital for treatment. The level C guide they provided had a reluctant look on their face, and my face nearly turned stiff from trying to smile the entire time.”

“Not only I am a fan of Xiào Mu’s ability, but I’m also a fan of his beauty, ah, ah, he is simply too perfect.”

Xiào Mu randomly looked around for a bit more and left the shop. It is only 9.00 am. After thinking about it, he walked out of the office and sat down on the sofa behind the frosted glass partition. Turning on his terminal, Xiào Mu typed a sentence and sent it into Xiaojin. However, a sentence popped up on the screen saying: [There were too many appointment messages.] Xiaojin’s AI brain is overloaded, so it hangs. Xiào Mu stayed silent for a moment and contacted the robot company’s maintenance staff, hoping that they could repair it as quickly as possible. He checked the progress of the appointments and found that it has already reached 100 days later. Xiào Mu couldn’t help but rubbed his forehead. Delaying for so long, according to the low remaining spiritual power of the sentinels when they made an appointment, how could they be able to hold on for 100 days?2

Xiào Mu entered the message area of the store again, and as expected, he saw a bunch of comments from people who are unable to make an appointment. Xiào Mu created a post and wrote, “So sorry, there are too many appointments, and the schedule waiting list is too long. The appointment is temporarily suspended for new requests. In the future, I will only open appointments within the span of half a month. For sentinels who didn’t get it, please go to the hospital for treatment in time or buy our medicine.”

“Feeling uncomfortable, and I haven’t made an appointment yet!”

“I have a bold idea. Could it be the official account is now being used by the god-level guide?”

“I agree with the idea upstairs.”

Reading this, Xiào Mu felt helpless. These people’s brains are spinning too fast. He did not reply but replaced the content on the announcement box regarding spiritual treatment with what he wrote in the comment area. After that, Xiào Mu closed his terminal and called out to the external lobby, “Appointment #1, you can come in.” He is free right now anyway, so Xiào Mu simply took the opportunity to treat people as soon as possible, lest they all crowded here.

Immediately, 2 guards stood at the junction between the inner and outer halls. Sentinel No.1 looked stunned, and then he jumped up suddenly, “Oh, the appointment time is advanced?” He quickly rushed to the inner hall.

Xiào Mu motioned for the man to sit down, and reached out a spiritual filament to check his condition. However, he immediately took it back in the next second. Other than his guards, Xiào Mu could sense at least 4 Level AA sentinels, one of which is sentinel No.1.

“Good God, a guide with 93% match rate!” A Level AA sentinel excitedly ran towards the inner hall, where Xiào Mu is at but is stopped by Ah Da with a cold face.

Sentinel No. 1 stared at Xiào Mu with fiery eyes, “It turns out that the rumors are true. The match rate between you and Level AA sentinels exceeds 90%.”

Xiào Mu looked annoyed by his mistake and said, “Sorry, I forgot about that.” In his previous spiritual treatments, the sentinels are either low-level sentinels or unconscious sentinels. Xiào Mu only thought of them as patients coming for an appointment. Still thinking with the same awareness back in the hospital, Xiào Mu did not think that the sentinels here might be high-level sentinels, which is too reckless of him.

“It’s okay,” Sentinel No. 1 said softly, “Can I pursue you? No, even if you refuse, I won’t change my mind.”

Xiào Mu’s mouth twitched, and he took the opportunity to correct the man’s thoughts, “It is not sensible to decide your life partner just because of the match rate.”

“This is an instinctive sign!” Sentinel No.1 said.

“No, it’s not. If so, what about people like me? And the number of guides is much lower than sentinels. Are those sentinels destined to spend the rest of their life alone until they die?” Xiào Mu smiled, “I believe you will meet someone you really like in the future and it will have nothing to do with the match rate. You will like that person because of your emotions, your love, which is not solely thinking to possess that person.”

Xiào Mu spouted the lines from some romance drama and tried to hold his expression as he said it. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject, “Now close your eyes and feel your spiritual state. You can open them when I say so.”

Sentinel No.1 closed his eyes, hiding his thoughtful look that was caused by Xiào Mu’s words.

Xiào Mu released the Pin Hold skill to sentinel No.1. The man’s spiritual power is at 8,500 points, and the remaining value is only 8%. He almost needs to recover nearly 8,000 spiritual power. 15 seconds later, after the Pin Hold buff disappeared, Xiào Mu added another one. 4 minutes later, sentinel No.1 spiritual power has returned to its full value.

“Okay, you can open your eyes now.”

Sentinel No.1 is full of wonder. Countless spiritual filaments stretched out under his control, each one glowing faintly, and the sensitivity was extremely high. A black Tibetan mastiff appeared beside him, looking majestic and strong, and its fur seemed to be shining.

Xiào Mu moved back subconsciously. Spirit animals here this world is much taller than the real animal. The Tibetan mastiff’s eyes shone brightly. Although it is not fierce, it still looks terrifying.

“Thank you so much!” Sentinel No.1 swiftly got up and bowed.

Xiào Mu quickly got up and avoided the bow, “Don’t be too polite. I am not doing this as a volunteer job. You still have to pay for the medical fee.”

Sentinel No.1 said sternly, “With this level of treatment, it’s not an exaggeration even if you charged 300,000 star coins. But you only charge 30,000 coins, which is no different from voluntary labor.” After he finished speaking, he proceeds to pay the money in full.

Xiào Mu suddenly felt that what he had is not a game system at all, but a gold mountain!

When Sentinel No.1 left the inner hall, the waiting sentinels are surprised to see him, “You finished the treatment so soon?”

“Or your illness is hard to treat?”

“Could it be even the god-level guide couldn’t enter your spiritual state?”

Sentinel No.1 said, “Nah, I’m treated already. I’ve never felt so good!” As he said that, the man released his spiritual power with all his strength, and the vigorous spiritual power spread out instantly. Even sentinels of the same level felt the pressure.

“Ohh, my God! I can’t believe it, the process is so fast!”

“As expected of the god-level guide, I can’t wait for my turn any longer.”

“I’m No.2, can I go in?” The sentinel No.2 asked with an anxious expression on his face when he got stopped by Ah Da.

At this moment, the maintenance staff came to fix the robot, and Xiào Mu paused his treatment. Xiaojin is quickly repaired, and the staff reminded Xiào Mu before leaving that when processing too much information, he could set more filters to avoid malfunctions. Xiào Mu thanked him, he controlled Xiaojin to come inside the inner hall, and let Xiaojin call the numbers.

Chapter 46 Part 2 Reservation

The speed of his healing skill is very fast. In fact, if it is not for Xiào Mu worrying about his abnormality being noticed, he could even treat everyone, and the overall speed will be even faster. After all, when treating the sentinels one by one, the buff will be on cooldown for 15 seconds. If he treated all people at the same time, these 15 seconds of buffering can let him attend to at least 8 more sentinels.

By 10.00 am, there were only 8 people left waiting outside.

“Please wait for a moment, I need to process the courier bills for today’s order.” Xiào Mu walked out of the inner hall and said.

“It’s okay, you have been busy for so long, do you want to rest for a while?”

“Yes, I used to go to the guide hospital. Some of the guides there have to rest for several days after a spiritual treatment. We will be fine to wait until the afternoon.”

The speed of Xiào Mu’s treatment is too fast, and the sentinels had gone from shock to calm. Their appointment is already much earlier than they expected.

“It’s okay,” Xiào Mu could feel the sincere worry from the sentinels and smiled, “I won’t force myself.”

Xiào Mu opened the dashboard of the shop. As expected, all the medicines are sold out within 5 minutes. He contacted the courier company to process his delivery orders. By 11:30 am, Xiào Mu has treated all the sentinels for today. He breathed a sigh of relief and drank a cup of warm water. Then he went to Zhao Meng’s office. Zhao Meng was seriously reading a book about medicine-making. He didn’t look up from the book until Xiào Mu called him.

Zhao Meng: “Today, there are only people contacting our office to inquire about medicine-making. No call from guides yet for the consignment of medicine.”

Xiào Mu smiled and said, “It’s okay. Maybe there are not many people with high talents like Gu Miao. Also, guides who could make the pills may not sell them on consignment.”

“Then, what should we do?” Zhao Meng opened his eyes widely.

“I will study to improve the methods of medicine-making. If the benefits are attractive enough, there’s always someone who will be willing to sell it. The guides might be treated well, but their family members may not. To be able to make money is a good thing for them. Many people are definitely watching on the sidelines. It will be easier later when someone takes the first step.

Zhao Meng nodded, and said sternly, “En, what you said makes sense.”

Xiào Mu: “Uncle, you can come to work in the morning. Then, continue at home in the afternoon. If there is something that needs to be discussed, we will talk about it the next morning in the office. Right now, our work is finished. We can leave for today.”

“Alright.”

When they came out of the business building, they saw the crowds of people in front of the building. When the people saw them, someone shouted, “They came out!”

A toy drone carrying a large bouquet hovered in front of Xiào Mu. On the drone, it said, For my beloved guide -Jin You1.

Xiào Mu’s mouth twitched, this person again?

The manager of the property’s security team heard the commotion and rushed over, “Master Xiào Mu, please leave from the special passage.”

Xiào Mu followed the manager and boarded the aircraft from the side door under the escort of the guards. Zhao Meng, on the other hand, is picked up by the Huo2 family’s bodyguard. Sitting in the aircraft, Xiào Mu massaged his forehead. This is not good. People are monitoring him everywhere and it felt really awful. Xiào Mu thought for a while and sent a message using the official account, “Sorry, Xiào Mu was disturbed after getting off work. The shop will be temporarily closed tomorrow. The spiritual treatment will be postponed by a day and a new appointment form will be sent to your terminal, for those who have already secured an appointment.”

“Be careful!”

After Xiào Mu sent the message, a force caused him to fell to the side. Ah Da caught him in time so he didn’t fall. Xiào Mu looked out the window of the aircraft and saw a dark blue aircraft flying side by side with theirs. A sentinel with his yellow hair combed high poked his head out of the sun roof and seemed to be holding a communicator in his hand.

“Master Xiào Mu, someone has requested for a call.” The driver guard said.

Xiào Mu: “Connect it.”

“Xiào Mu! Are you Xiào Mu?! Please release your guide pheromones and let me enter the heat fever with you3! Oh, I’m catching up with you now. Where are you? Can you reach out a hand and show me?”

Xiào Mu frowned as he looked at the sentinel, which half of his body is stretched out towards his aircraft, and said, “Are you seeking de…”

Before Xiào Mu could finish his words, his body shook and he slammed into Ah Da. The guard in the driver’s seat cursed inwardly. His voice is tense as he said, “Boss, he has gone insane. The sentinel has crossed the divider’s line. If we keep giving him space, we will be forced to occupy another track.”

It is very dangerous to change lanes suddenly. An aircraft’s speed is generally fast. Hence, at the moment of changing lanes, one is very likely to be hit by the aircraft behind.

“Xiào Mu! Xiào Mu! Why are you not talking? Are you in danger?! You are surrounded by sentinels, right? They definitely can’t help but attack you. Let me ‘combine’ with you and I will protect you!”

The face of the guards on the aircraft turned livid, and Xiào Mu’s expression is ugly too. Half of it is because of the chilly penetrating way the man called his name, which is almost like a soul-calling voice. The other half is because their aircraft is getting more and more unstable.

“Damn, he is ramming into us!” The driving guard cursed and turned on the warning light and the real-time traffic map, then flew the aircraft to the upper channel4 abruptly.

“Stop! Where are you taking the god-level guide?!” The yellow-haired sentinel shrieked and followed closely behind.

“BANG…” Xiào Mu’s eyes widened as a violent impact sounded behind. Then an alarm sounded in his ears.

“Traffic radio broadcast – Please note that a flight accident has occurred in Section 103 of Green Line 5. Drivers flying in Line 5, please pay attention.”

Xiào Mu rubbed his forehead, and the driving guard suddenly exclaimed, “Major General!” As he said that, he turned on the virtual screen.

A black aircraft is parked next to the dark blue aircraft which the tail part had been hit. Leo in a full military uniform strode to the aircraft, kicked open the cockpit door, and dragged the yellow-haired sentinel by the collar out of the aircraft. The yellow-haired sentinel had blood on his forehead, but the rest of him is fine. His body swayed around as he is dragged away by Leo, and all the struggles were easily apprehended by Leo.

At lunch, Leo entered the house with a cold expression. He looked at Xiào Mu from top to bottom and said, “From now on, tell me when you go to and get off work. I will go to pick you up.”

Xiào Mu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Leo added, “If you refuse, I will immediately apply to be the captain of your guards.”

The corners of Xiào Mu’s mouth twitched. Doesn’t Leo think this is overkill?

Leo regarded Xiào Mu’s silence as tacit agreement. He sat down, and his voice sounded much softer, “The man from today has a mental problem, don’t be afraid.”

Xiào Mu: “En, I’m just a little surprised, not afraid.”

“Are you going to the company again this afternoon?” Leo asked.

“No, I won’t go out in the afternoon.” Xiào Mu planned to make more medicine in the afternoon, and then do some self-learning. He also wanted to buy a batch of pharmaceutical equipment as he wanted to try not to use the system to make the medicine and study the difference between the two, hoping to find a way to help the guides to make medicine.

Leo finished his meal and said, “I have 2 minor classes in the afternoon, and I will be back when I finished it. Contact me if something happens.”

Seeing Xiào Mu nodded, Leo left.

Xiào Mu went back to his room to make medicine and cultivated the land. After that, he took a nap. When he woke up, Xiào Mu found that there are several unread messages in his terminal.

Xing Chen: “Are you there? Are you there?”

Xing Chen: “We got the plants you asked for. Last time, I saw your sender address stating the Marshal’s Mansion. Are you Xiào Mu?”

Xing Chen: “We really have no choice. If you are Xiào Mu, can you come out to meet us? Our boss was poisoned while collecting the plants. I know you may not have any solution, but I can’t think of another way.”

Xing Chen: “The doctor said he can’t treat it and our boss has fallen into a coma. Do you have any solutions?”

Xing Chen: “I’m sorry for my words, my mind is too messy. I have mailed the plants to you.”

Finished reading the messages, Xiào Mu swiftly got up. He asked the housekeeper and heard that his courier has arrived. Quickly, Xiào Mu picked up the box and checked the content. To his surprise, there is more than a stalk of each plant, of course, not too many either. Xiào Mu hurriedly picked the Pinellia plants out. Leaving only a stalk for his homeland, he used the rest to make the dispel pill. The result is he made a total of 2 pills.

Xiào Mu contacted Xing Chen, “Where are you? I’m going to your place now.”

Xiào Mu originally wanted to just mail it, but he wanted to see the effect of the medicine, so he decided to take the trip in person.
