Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

She is indeed a source of danger, but Nironko has deployed one-sixth of the combined combat strength of the White Tower and the central city to guard this place.

Of the twelve white towers, the Maurice du Bonnie Tower is now the safest; it would be an understatement to describe it as an impregnable fortress.

"Director Hai Mei, you've exposed my bottom line; your sincerity is lacking."

The authority she granted is unclear.

Nilonko is much better; he answers all questions, remains calm, and even considers the feelings of her, his henchman employee.

If it can be discussed, then discuss it; if it can't be discussed, then don't force it.

She enjoyed working with a speaker like that; it was too late for Mingye to kill her.

Meino has a strong sense of responsibility, good leadership skills, and few selfish motives, but... he is not suitable to be the speaker.

He has fewer good points, and I wouldn't have fallen into so many pitfalls before I "fell heartbroken".

When Hai Mei approached Shu Zao again, she shook her head and refused.

"Siqi's family sent two S-class guides to work at the White Tower. Your indecisiveness caused you to miss the opportunity."

The two guides even came to greet her on their first day!

Siqi's family is quite shrewd; they found two women with clear eyes, and these two have received excellent reviews in the White Tower these past two days.

"My family will also send two S-rank guides to the White Tower; the documents have already been issued." Hai Mei zoomed in on the documents on the screen.

"Oh, it's a tie."

"Commander Shuzao didn't manage a draw; we have four guides." And he himself was an SS-rank guide!

"You're right, but I don't want to get involved in this mess. Tomorrow, Director Siqi will leave the White Tower. Go see him off."

"Thank you, Commander Shuzao."

"What are you thanking me for? I wasn't of any help."

"Commander Shuzao is right."

After meeting Hai Mei, Shu Zao went to the laboratory, where the researcher was waiting for her at the door.

They were talented individuals she had gathered from all over, and they had consumed the offspring of the Mianxin plant.

She couldn't trust them in a short time, so she had to resort to this tactic. Once they gained her trust, she would give them the mother plant.

Her main purpose in taking the mother plant was to intimidate them, not to control them.

Therefore, there is no need to consume the mother plant.

"I'll take you on a tour of the lab first and explain what each module's experiments entail. You can then decide which module you'll be responsible for."

My lab doesn't tolerate incompetence. The more you work, the more you earn. Avoid backstabbing and infighting. Focus all your energy on your "work".

"If anyone maliciously sabotages someone's experiment, I won't just kill you, I'll wipe out your entire family."

Shu Zao gave them a warning, making the unpleasant points clear upfront.

She was running out of time, which was exhausting her. She was worried that she would die suddenly if things continued like this, so she decided to find a helper and check on the progress from time to time.

"Report any missing items immediately, and I will replenish them as soon as possible. Be bold and proactive; just thinking about not wasting resources is useless, understand?"

They were too frugal during the experiment, which was detrimental to the experimental process.

Sima pushed up his glasses: "Really?" He was quite capable; he had worked in the central city laboratory before, but they looked down on him for wasting materials.

Furthermore, there's always the possibility of a more "outstanding" researcher replacing him.

He wasn't very happy there; he was kicked out before he could participate in any further research. Hopefully, this place won't disappoint him.

There was no turning back in his despair, so he ate the succulent.

When Shu sent them the invitation, she said she didn't trust them and that they needed to take the seed strain in order to enter the laboratory.

For ordinary people to gain a high status, the only option is to enter a laboratory.

Most of them were researchers rejected by major cities.

I'm working hard at home experimenting, hoping to get a job in the lab with a half-finished product.

"It couldn't be more real."

Shu Zao calmly showed them the wool she had plundered from the central city laboratory, without any worry about being discovered.

Everyone who knew about it is dead, so who will report her?

Shu Zao sat beside them listening to their discussion, confirmed the researchers for each section, helped them enter the passwords, and then turned and left.

Today I had a dinner appointment with Kasi and the family on the 87th floor.

Standing at the entrance of the laboratory was an ordinary person!

Who is he?

This person was not on the invitation list.

She investigated everyone in the lab one by one, ensuring they had a clean background and some reputation before extending invitations.

There are a lot of ordinary people, and even those who are not famous are being investigated, making it like finding a needle in a haystack.

It's not worth it.

"Commander Shuzao, I would like to volunteer."

Shu Zao: "Okay."

His courage is commendable; he came alone to Maurice du Bonnie White Tower, his clothes ill-fitting and patched, leading Shu to suspect that he couldn't afford a return ticket.

"Thank you, Commander Shuzao, for giving me this opportunity. May we find a place to talk?"

Shu Zao: "No problem."

Listen to him. If he can say something insightful, I'll cover his travel expenses even if I don't need him.

"Gurgle~"

"Gurgle~"

"Gurgle~"

It's normal for my stomach to rumble, but this is the first time I've heard it rumble for so long.

"Did you come hungry?"

Jing Shuangdu's thin face flushed red, and she clutched the bag in his hand tightly with her ten fingers, her spirits low.

"Um, can you let me finish?" Jing Shuangdu was worried that Shuzao would feel that spending time on him was a waste, so her voice was urgent. "You don't have to hear the whole thing, just half of it. Commander Shuzao, you can hear a third or a quarter of it."

Why does your stomach growl at this time? It greatly reduces your trust level.

Any researcher with any ability would go hungry like him.

Even if they don't work in a laboratory, researchers are very successful among ordinary people and won't have to worry about making a living.

If only I had known, I could have gone down to the cabin and asked the sentry or guide where there was free water, taken a few sips, and then come back to the lab to relax.

"Go to the dining area and eat first. My time is precious, and I only spend it on things I think are worthwhile."

A sentry will bring you to see me at 3:30 PM. Get some rest, and remember to keep it brief; don't go on and on.

Jing Shuangdu could hardly describe her feelings at that moment: "Thank you, Commander Shuzao, for giving me this opportunity."

Shu Zao summoned two sentries to lead Jing Shuangdu to dinner and arranged temporary rest rooms.

She wasn't worried that the sentries would neglect Jing Shuangdu.

The new regulations were released the day before yesterday, and no sentries or guides objected; they all applauded in agreement.

A new rule stipulates: Regardless of the other party's identity, please abide by the rules. Violators will be punished as follows: ...

The penalties are divided into: minor violations, moderate violations, and serious violations.

The severity levels are clearly defined, so there's no need to worry about subjective biases causing the rules to be unbalanced.

This rule was created thanks to Prism Elf. Etheris gossiped with her, saying that Prism Elf Elf killed Kellya and her personal sentinel.

Leng Yu was punished by having to clean the training room, and she ran into him in the corridor, who was also being punished!

He was stubborn and didn't tell the truth at the time.

Shu bumped into Kasi, who was returning from training, at the entrance of the building. He was followed by a group of young-looking sentries.

"Good morning, what a coincidence."

"You adapt really quickly." She was amazed by how fast you made friends.

A whole bunch!

She Niu's Kashi!!!

Kasi laughed and replied, "My team member, I got promoted, I'm the captain now."

This is good news, but it sounds slightly bittersweet.

Growth is accompanied by loss.
