Chapter 203 The Awakening of the Super Guide (18)
Qi Jian was standing on the training field, but he felt as if he were lying in soft, fluffy cotton, feeling soft and fluffy from the sun, just like he felt after Jing Li's guidance that morning, or even better.
The tormenting sounds had disappeared, and the fine particles in the air that he could feel with his breath no longer caused him pain.
He seemed to have finally understood the happiness of being alive.
Just as he was about to take a deep breath, his mental energy inexplicably felt a sense of constraint, and then the feeling of his mental energy surging violently became as noisy as boiling water.
But it's much better than before, and still bearable—after all, he had already endured it for a long time before this.
At the same time, Jingli, who was trying to guide the flow of people, also felt a kind of resistance, as if he was being excluded.
Jingli didn't push too hard. He didn't have much practice in mental counseling, and with limited samples and experience, he wouldn't be reckless.
So Jingli withdrew her spiritual tendrils and instead tried to weave something resembling a cloak with her energy to wrap Qi Jian up.
In this way, it can also help him alleviate the rampage of those messy mental threads from the outside.
It's just unknown whether any energy will be lost during the black bear's technological conversion.
But as long as it works, that's fine.
After doing all this, Jingli didn't actually consume much energy, but the pain in her body became more pronounced, and even her mental energy mobilization became somewhat sluggish.
This is a bit strange.
In the previous world, even if he overdrawn his energy, he would faint directly. When he woke up the next day, his body would feel slightly sore, but it would not affect his energy usage.
When Jingli felt unwell, she thought it was because her body had just recovered and couldn't handle so much energy input, so she used the soothing card. Because of the soothing card, the pain came gradually and was not intense, so Jingli did not notice the slowdown in mental energy utilization in time.
According to 6058, the physical and mental abilities of Sentinels and Guides are matched, meaning that an S-rank Guide can definitely use S-rank mental power.
But now... the mental power Jingli is using is nothing compared to his current immense energy.
So, where exactly did the problem lie?
Jingli made a quick decision and, following Su Qinghan's instructions, slowly severed the connection, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Su Qinghan, who had been standing to the side without daring to speak, finally found a chance to ask, "Are you alright?"
Jingli didn't mention her mental state, only saying, "I'm a little tired."
"This is normal." Su Qinghan's tone carried a hint of relief that even he himself didn't realize.
It turns out that even an S-class guide gets tired after using a heavy mech for such a long time for the first time.
He proactively stated, "The first time you use the mech to channel your energy, you may experience soreness or even feel unable to use your mental power. These are all normal. In fact, there was a guide who, in order to prove how powerful he was, over-connected, causing his mental power rating to drop by half a level in a short period of time."
This is what happened to Su Qinghan and the next generation. At that time, he was a rare B+-A level guide. He was already struggling when starting the heavy mecha, but he didn't say anything for the sake of face. He collapsed from exhaustion halfway through the process, and his situation was once very critical.
Su Qinghan said earnestly, "After all, a mecha is a mecha. It's different from direct physical contact. It will increase the burden on mental energy. Therefore, you still need to proceed step by step and slowly improve your endurance."
This explains, to some extent, the sense of sluggishness in the scene.
But Jingli felt that this shouldn't be the whole story.
He didn't doubt that Su Qinghan had taught him everything she knew, but perhaps there were things that even the world's top talents hadn't discovered?
After all, few people would think that the world has been influenced by forces from outside the world.

Jingli's practical training ended, and the results far exceeded Su Qinghan's expectations. Leaving aside Qi Jian, who was difficult to test, the mental power surge values of several sentinels all dropped to a safe, green state, and Ling Ze was more relaxed than ever before.
Before the debriefing began, several sentries, including Qi Jian and Ling Ze who had acted as "gatekeepers" earlier, came over and made a simple gesture with their mechs.
That means thank you.
Qi Jian sent a message to Su Qinghan, asking him to trouble Jing Li to stay for a moment after training.
Su Qinghan immediately understood Qi Jian's meaning; their boss wanted to ask Jing Li for help.
Su Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief once again.
He had witnessed Jingli's abilities firsthand. If Jingli could truly help the boss, and the boss was willing to accept Jingli's help, then that would be for the best.
During the remaining training time, Su Qinghan helped Jingli review the practical exercise.
“Your counseling lasted a total of thirteen minutes, during which 80% of your mental energy was concentrated on 007, that is, our boss. However, this is also my fault. I didn’t tell you that you didn’t need to include both of them. 007’s mental energy situation is rather special. I will discuss this with you in detail later.”
Jingli nodded.
"Putting him aside, you've already used a lot of mental energy on other Sentinels compared to other Guides, which is actually a misconception."
Su Qinghan explained.
"In private and safe situations, or in the rear, when using lightweight mechs, we should indeed do our best to guide every sentry. But let me ask you, where are heavy mechs used?"
Jingli immediately understood what Su Qinghan wanted to say: "It's the battlefield."
"That's right. On the battlefield, unless it's a fight to the death, we don't need to ensure the mental stability of any one person."
“I understand.” Jingli nodded seriously.
Sentinels and guides are scarce. On the battlefield, every sentry and guide is entrusted with a heavy responsibility. If we use a battle formation as an analogy, they are like the eye of the formation, protecting and leading ordinary soldiers in battle to achieve the best results.
Therefore, on the battlefield, the guides in heavy mechs need to prioritize ensuring that the mental state of each sentry is kept from going berserk. In other words, cost-effectiveness must be considered in order to achieve long-term, large-scale guidance.
Today, Jingli used a black bear, capable of connecting hundreds of people, to connect with a mere ten or so sentries for twenty minutes.
This is extremely deadly on the battlefield.
Jingli was also reflecting on his actions. He was eager to solve Qi Jian's problems, but he overlooked the scenario of this practical exercise. He was overconfident in his own energy and prop reserves, but he did not realize the abnormal feedback his body was giving him in time.
Simply put, he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits.
Su Qinghan stopped there. Jingli was very intelligent; some mistakes, made on the battlefield, would leave a deeper impression.
From this perspective, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Su Qinghan patted his shoulder encouragingly, "It's okay. Achieving this level for the first time is already quite remarkable. There are repair pods on campus. If you're feeling unwell, you can go check them out. However, as you know, our resources are quite limited, so each person only has one repair opportunity per week. You can decide whether you want to apply based on your situation."
"Oh, by the way," Su Qinghan said casually as she unbuttoned her protective suit, "Come with me to the team later. The boss wants to ask you for a favor."
Jingli's eyes lit up, and she nodded.
After a quick shower, the two returned to the tree-like building.

Xiao Qi, coming down from the training field, kept tidying his clothes (a uniform just like the school uniform), and a little regretted not keeping a few nice clothes.
Ling Ze: (Slightly alarmed) (Confused) Has the situation worsened? That shouldn't be happening! Why is our usually expressionless boss suddenly sighing today? ???
