The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 188 Plucking the Flower on the High Mountain
After each guide's internship location was confirmed, the next step was a week-long "pre-job training".

Pre-job training is essentially about finding an experienced senior colleague to provide one-on-one guidance.

Because college students generally lack practical experience in psychological counseling, in order to prevent them from being deceived and exploited by the sentries after entering the military region, causing unnecessary harm, the seniors will try their best to pass on some relevant skills and prevention plans to them during this period.

Lin Nan's training teacher was Tina.

Tina had spent some time with Hossen in District Nine, so she was very familiar with the area and was the perfect mentor for Lin Nan.

“You must be careful going to that place, little girl. Insects are extremely cunning and stubborn creatures. Once they lock onto your scent, they're like leeches stuck to bones; you can't shake them off no matter how much you cut them or burn them. Besides, the insect race practices polyandry; sharing a mate is as natural as sharing carrion…”

"If you want to get out of there safely, I suggest you raise your mental strength to A-level first. A-level guides will form a complete mental barrier system, which is very effective in resisting mental intrusion. Once you reach A-level, no sentinel below S-level will be a match for you."

Lin Nan thought about how her mental strength had only recently reached B-level, and it seemed impossible for her to reach A-level immediately.

Tina seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled mysteriously, "It's impossible for ordinary people, but it's not necessarily true for you. You have such a gluttonous spirit body and so many excellent 'breeding grounds' for you to choose from. As long as you are a little more diligent and go all out, it's no problem for you to go from B to A in a week."

Lin Nan seemed to understand what method was needed.

I just feel a headache.

Ah—this yellowish world, it really can't be separated from XXX in any conversation...

"What, you got such a great deal, and now you're playing the victim?" Tina moved closer to her in a suggestive way. Now that she had become her mentor, she must know everything about Lin Nan. A sly smile played on her lips as she teased, "You've already plucked that most difficult 'high-and-mighty flower' from the center, aren't you satisfied? How was it? Did you like it?"

Lin Nan: “…”

Ugh! What is this all about?!

What is this teacher saying?!
【o(*////▽////*)】

[This teacher is so lewd, I like it!]

It's absolutely delicious!

[Excellent! Excellent! (Afterwards, smoking emoji)]

Unlike Lin Nan's almost frantic expression, the vines in her mind were already excitedly screaming when they heard this. If they could communicate with Tina, the vines would probably want to tell her every little detail of what happened.

"Don't make wild guesses, we didn't do anything!!" Lin Nan hurriedly denied, her face turning bright red. Although she and the director had a deep conversation, they hadn't gone all the way! The director was still very principled!
Upon receiving Lin Nan's denial, Tina's gossipy gaze flashed with suspicion, and she frowned, saying, "What's going on? Don't tell me you didn't do it, and Old Man Huo is no good?"

Lin Nan: “…”

It's not that he's incapable!

"It's hard for anyone to resist the temptation during their first deep connection with the Sentinel. Although Old Man Huo is getting on in years, he still retains his charm. How could a virgin in his thirties resist such temptation for the first time? That's unbelievable!"

Lin Nan: "..." Ah!! She didn't want to talk to this teacher anymore!!!
"What's there to be shy about? This is normal training for guides. You'll have to face more men in the future." Seeing that Lin Nan was still uneasy, Tina patted her head reassuringly. "If you really don't like this method, you might consider absorbing energy stones, but energy stones are scarce right now, and I don't know where to get one that suits you."

Energy stone?
Lin Nan suddenly remembered that in Sunset Forest, Caesar had given her the energy stone from Ronnie, and that stone was still kept in her wardrobe.

Can she absorb this?

Lin Nan wasn't particularly knowledgeable about this either. The original owner of this body didn't have any related memories because energy stones were too far removed from ordinary people. So, after she got the thing, she didn't know how to use it and just left it untouched.

"Oh well, let's leave the energy stone problem to Old Man Huo and let him solve it for you. Now that he's one of your men, he'll naturally take these things into consideration for you."

"Senior Tina, how much will my mental power increase by absorbing energy stones?"

"It depends on the quality of the energy stone. Not all stones can be absorbed. Some stones are of low grade and have more impurities. Absorbing too much of these things doesn't necessarily bring much benefit."

"But most people nowadays don't have much patience, especially those nobles who don't need to go to the battlefield and only care about eating, drinking and having fun. They all have incredibly impressive resumes, but in reality, their mental outlook is already riddled with holes. In actual combat, they can't even control an insect."

"A bunch of trash!"

At this point, Tina seemed to have something to say, and a disdainful sneer appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

This reminded Lin Nan of the hyena spirit noble she had treated a couple of days ago. As an A-level sentinel, his mental strength should have been far superior to hers, but she was able to invade him very easily. She felt that she could easily mess up those messy, seemingly magnificent but actually disorganized barriers.

Fortunately, she was kind-hearted and didn't do anything reckless. She even helped him remove some of the pollution.

"So—before you find the right energy stone for yourself, it's better not to use that thing at all than to mess around with it. Otherwise, you might end up not leveling up but also muddying up the purity of your mental energy, which would be a huge loss. Whether you're a Sentinel or a Sentinel, if you want to go far, the purity of your mental energy is far more important than your level. Got it?"

Lin Nan nodded vigorously.

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. Go back and think about my suggestion carefully..." After class, the young and sexy female teacher reverted to her lazy demeanor. She slowly leaned closer to Lin Nan and said in a low, seductive voice, "You know, extracting directly from the Sentinels is much more effective than those other things. The Sentinels' bodies are the best filters; they can provide us with the best 'nourishment'..."

"Think it through. Come to my office tomorrow, and I'll teach you the right methods... I guarantee it will make you comfortable while also getting those guys to willingly offer themselves to me..."

【it is good! 】

【Okay! (yaodei)】

[I'll definitely come!]

Coach, I want to play basketball!

Lin Nan: ...

Mother's Day is over, and I've been so busy these past few days, it's been so lonely QAQ. I'm so sleepy... I'll just post one chapter tonight, then I'll go catch up on some sleep. I haven't slept for two days. I'll continue writing after I wake up.
