The Strongest Sentinel (Soft rice sentinel): He is so strong, yet he doesn’t do it himself and lets his guide do it!

Xue Shisan and the others joined the Hope Base that very day.  

Their health was not very good, and they needed some time to recuperate, so Gu Juntian postponed the plan to go to their base to rescue them for ten days.  

In those ten days, the sentinels in Xue Shisan’s group could take some of the potions he had developed to restore their bodies to peak condition. As for the ordinary people, as long as they were adults, they could take the awakening potion and become guides.  

As for him, he had other things to do during those ten days.  

Gu Juntian planned to take advantage of this time to resolve the situation at Base One.  

After he and Zhou Qinghao left Base One and established the Hope Base, Base One had deteriorated day by day.  

They had established an office at Base One, and for over a year now, ordinary people from Base One had been going to the office every day to register, actively requesting to join the Hope Base.  

Every ten days, they went to Base One to pick up people, and each time, they could bring back tens of thousands.  

If it hadn’t been for Gu Juntian and the others killing so many mutated beasts, they really wouldn’t have been able to support so many people.  

It was also because there were many people, and after these people came to the Hope Base, they truly felt the hope that the Hope Base could be established in a short period of time.  

But while the Hope Base thrived more and more, what accompanied it was the decline of Base One.  

The current Base One still had many high-level Sentinels and high-level Guides, with the number of strong individuals far exceeding those at Hope Base, but the lives of those in power had already fallen to a low point.  

This was a very ordinary morning.  

Liang Xia got up early in the morning and started preparing breakfast for his sentinel partner.  

He had to prepare a sumptuous breakfast and set a beautiful table before his partner woke up. If he didn’t do it well, his partner would be angry.  

At first, his partner even asked him to personally make those dishes, but later found that the food he made by hand was not as tasty as the food made by the food processor, so he gave up on that idea.  

Liang Xia had never expected that his life after marriage would turn out like this.  

His partner was a B-level sentinel and also a side branch of a large family. If it had been in the past, after marrying this sentinel, just relying on the dividends from this sentinel’s family would have been enough to live a comfortable life.  

They could have hired a few ordinary people to help them with household chores, enjoyed different cuisines every day, and gone to watch various performances…  

As for work, they had bonuses, so why would they need to work?  

At most, his partner would just hold a position in the armed forces and attend some ceremonies occasionally.  

But nowadays, such a life was gone and wouldn’t come back.  

Since Zhou Qinghao left with his subordinates, the food supply at Base One had started to run low.  

You should know that in the past, eighty percent of the food consumed by Base One was hunted by Zhou Qinghao and his subordinates!  

The consequence of food shortages was that food prices went up.  

Ordinary people were fine because they had experienced the beast tide before, and the reserves of nutritional meals were still sufficient. However, those who were used to eating fresh mutated beast meat suddenly found it difficult to buy the mutated beast meat they wanted on the market.  

At first, the price of mutated beast meat started to rise, and later, the price of nutritional meals also began to increase.  

The wages of ordinary people were no longer enough for them to buy nutritious meals to fill their stomachs. Naturally, they couldn’t accept this and started demanding wage increases.  

Then, the elites discovered that their expenses had increased.  

An economy that suddenly loses a large number of young and middle-aged workers is bound to have problems; Base One had already encountered issues.  

Of course, Base One wasn’t without countermeasures. The people from the Executive Officer faction had sent the armed forces to hunt the mutated beasts.  

The sentinels of the armed forces were all strong. Killing mutated beasts wasn’t difficult for them, but bringing the beasts back to the base was another matter. Some of the meat from these beasts spoiled easily, and it had to be properly handled in the wild…  

Those young masters and young ladies from the Armed Forces, where had they ever done this kind of work?  

Especially, after bringing these mutated beasts back, they themselves couldn’t eat much, and most of it was given to the ordinary people in the base.  

Although the sentinels in the base currently held high levels, their numbers were few. They had to go out of the city every day to hunt mutated beasts in order to sustain the people in the base.  

How could this be happening! Why should they have to support a bunch of freeloaders? Why shouldn’t they be allowed to take a vacation?  

The armed forces used to play all day, but now they had to go out of the city to hunt every day. How could they be willing?  

In short, the game they brought back wasn’t enough to feed the people in the base.  

Seeing that the base’s food supply was running low, those ordinary people panicked. Moreover, the people who went to the Hope Base sent back messages saying that at the Hope Base, they didn’t eat nutritional meals but had mutated beast meat for every meal…  

Ordinary people seeking refuge at the Hope Base, there were many more of them.  

The management of Base One naturally knew this wouldn’t work; they actually took some measures.  

But those measures weren’t implemented.  

Zhou Qinghao had actually been collecting evidence of the governor’s crimes for a long time. During that period, he found the time to go back, kill the governor, and expose the governor’s crimes.  

The fact that the Governor instructed his own son to withhold military supplies and deny treatment to injured soldiers, leading to the deaths of many soldiers who otherwise wouldn’t have died in the beast tide, was enough to warrant his life.  

The governor was a powerful S-level sentinel, but under Zhou Qinghao, he stood no chance of fighting back.  

Those powerful figures didn’t want to die, so naturally, they wouldn’t dare to go against Zhou Qinghao.  

They could only watch as Base One declined while seeking another way out.  

Some people, knowing that they had irreconcilable conflicts with Zhou Qinghao, simply went to other bases.  

Some people had never done anything wrong and could accept earning a living with their own hands, so they simply sought refuge in the Hope Base.  

Of course, there were also many people who stayed at Base One, just getting by.  

Liang Xia’s sentinel was just a person who went with the flow.  

He couldn’t get the bonus now, but he was still a B-level sentinel. Just going out to hunt every other day or even every few days was enough to support his family.  

But going out to hunt was so dangerous! It wasn’t only dangerous but also disgusting!  

Every time he worked hard outside, he felt very dissatisfied thinking about Liang Xia staying at home doing nothing, and he didn’t treat Liang Xia well either.  

When Liang Xia finished making breakfast, his partner got up.  

Seeing Liang Xia’s displeased expression, the B-level sentinel snorted coldly, “You feel wronged just for making breakfast? Do you really think you’re so precious? Now at the Hope Base, the streets are full of guides!”  

The people at Base One already knew that the Hope Base had developed a potion that could turn ordinary people into guides.  

After learning about this, all the remaining ordinary people at Base One submitted applications to join Hope Base at the Base One office.  

It was said that the Hope Base was about to come and pick them up.  

When all these ordinary people left, what would be left of Base One?  

Uncontrollable anxiety made Liang Xia’s sentinel unable to eat or sleep well.  

Liang Xia was the same.  

He had always been proud of being a guide.  

He thought that by being a guide, he could live a life free from financial worries.  

But now in the Hope Base, the streets were full of low-level guides like him. Those ordinary people he used to look down on had all become guides!  

What would he do in the future?  

Going to other bases? But the Hope Base had made the potion formulas public, so in the future, other bases wouldn’t be short on guides.  

The two of them silently ate breakfast, and as they were eating, a voice rang in their ears, or rather, throughout the entire base: “Playing an announcement, playing an announcement, today, Hope Base peacefully recovers Base One, Base One will be renamed Morning Light Base from today…”  

Liang Xia and his partner both froze.  

They knew that day would come sooner or later, and now, that day had arrived.  

From now on, they would have no privileges and would have to live like countless ordinary people in this world, relying on their own abilities.  

In the past year, the vast majority of ordinary people from Base One had already moved to Base Hope to live.  

Gu Juntian did not plan to let them move back. Next, he would either use force or peaceful means to liberate the other bases. By then, he would just let the people from the other bases move to Base One to live.  

According to him, some bases had so many residents that they had long been unable to accommodate them.  

And such “migration” could also completely break some of the original rules.  

Base One had long been a shell of its former self, so it only took Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao ten days to get this base settled.  

And from now on, those privileged elites in Base One, who once lived in luxury, would have to live like ordinary people—factories and similar establishments in Base One had all been nationalized by Zhou Qinghao.  

On the tenth day, Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao bid farewell to the people of the Hope Base, planning to take their personal guards and Xue Shisan, among others, to conquer the world.  

They didn’t take many people, and they didn’t need to take too many people.  

Zhou Qinghao and Gu Juntian’s combat power was already enough to let them walk through this world with ease.  

“Mom, I’m leaving,” Gu Juntian said goodbye to his mother.  

“Go on, go on, don’t disturb my work,” said Mother Gu.  

In the past, Mother Gu was filled with fear of the ground.  

Having lost her husband, she absolutely did not allow her son to join the military.  

But now, realizing that her son was very strong, she had calmed down.  

Even she herself was working on the ground.  

Mother Gu became a guide under the influence of Gu Juntian’s mental power, and it had been over a year since she became a guide.  

When she first became a guide, she cried a lot and felt very guilty.  

She always felt that her husband’s death was related to her.  

She couldn’t stand living with her husband, enduring years of oppressive life, so she wanted to leave him. Not long after, her husband…  

Did her husband notice something?  

Now she had become a guide… if her husband hadn’t died, if she could have become a guide earlier…  

Mother Gu was particularly heartbroken, and Gu Juntian was afraid she would cry herself sick, so he arranged a bunch of work for her, sending her to the fields to farm.  

At first, Mother Gu didn’t know anything.  

But her son needed help, so the mother gritted her teeth and got to work. As she kept at it, she got better and better at the job.  

Nowadays, she could already handle things on her own.  

Gu Juntian hugged his mother and turned to Zhou Qinghao: “Let’s go! We’re off to conquer the stars and the sea!”  

The RV that Zhou Qinghao was riding in was specially built for him by Gu Juntian.  

He thought that Zhou Qinghao didn’t need to participate in the battle, just watching from the sidelines was enough.  

Regarding the battle, he was coming!  

Regarding this, Zhou Qinghao had no objections at all.  

First, he was already tired of killing mutated beasts, and second, letting Gu Juntian expend some energy was really quite good.  

Otherwise, Gu Juntian always wanted to “torture” him.  

The first time he was with Gu Juntian, it was his initiative. As an S-level sentinel, his physical condition was still very good.  

This made Gu Juntian feel that he had a strong need in certain aspects.  

But he really couldn’t! He couldn’t handle high-intensity workouts every night!  

So, Gu Juntian, go fight! He wholeheartedly supported it!  

So, on this land, a legend appeared.  

It was said that there was a powerful guide, accompanied by his own sentinels, rampaging through the land. Any base targeted by him would ultimately become their property.  

This powerful guide also wanted to end the long-standing dominance of sentinels over the world, so he would turn all those ordinary people into guides!  

This guide was too powerful; an S-level sentinel wasn’t even a match for him. His only weakness might be that fragile sentinel he was protecting.  

Several S-level powerhouses from bases that still had autonomy gathered together to discuss how to deal with Gu Juntian.  

“That guide is too powerful!”  

“We can’t beat him.”  

“The only way might be to capture his sentinel and use his sentinel to threaten him.”  

“Yes, capture his sentinel, use his sentinel to threaten him!”  

……  

That guide was very strong, probably too strong. He kept a sentinel as a pet and was completely obedient to him.  

They would capture that sentinel, which should make Gu Juntian hesitate to act, and perhaps they could take advantage of Gu Juntian’s confusion to kill him.  

The rulers of this world should be the Sentinels, so why did Gu Juntian, a mere guide, get to climb over them?  

After discussing, these people decided to unite and ambush Gu Juntian.  

They were all S-level sentinels and noticed Gu Juntian from a distance, of course, they also noticed the pretty boy sentinel next to Gu Juntian.  

A perfectly good sentinel, and he actually became a male escort for the guide. People like him, they really looked down on!  

At the same time, Zhou Qinghao smiled.  

Someone had come to deliver themselves to Gu Juntian to help him expend his energy, that was great.  

He hoped that Gu Juntian’s fighting spirit wouldn’t be directed at him anymore.  

The battle was about to break out, but Gu Juntian was fearless.  

But soon, Gu Juntian noticed something was off.  

The people who came to trouble him, while sending some to surround him, actually charged towards Zhou Qinghao!  

What did these people think?  

Why did they want to give up?  

You should know, he fought with Zhou Qinghao because he was Zhou Qinghao’s guide, and Zhou Qinghao couldn’t win.  

But if he were to fight against mutated beasts or other sentinels, Zhou Qinghao, as a sentinel, would far surpass him in combat power!  

Those who came to attack did not know Gu Juntian’s intentions. They looked at Zhou Qinghao, who was right in front of them, their eyes filled with determination to win.  

They would soon catch this gigolo! By then, they would definitely make him suffer!  

However, the next second, they were pinned down by this pretty boy’s mental power, collapsing to the ground and unable to move.  

Next to the RV where Zhou Qinghao was staying, a group of S-level sentinels were face down in the mud, constantly questioning their life choices.  

After Zhou Qinghao used his mental power to subdue all the attackers, he smiled and looked at Gu Juntian: “Juntian, I’ve already controlled these people. Whenever you need to practice, I’ll release them.”  

The person controlled by Zhou Qinghao: “……”  

Who would have thought that this pretty boy was the real powerhouse!  

He was clearly so strong, yet he didn’t do it himself and made his guide do it!  

How shameless!  

In this world, how could there be such sentinels?!  

And beside Zhou Qinghao’s RV, those who had submitted to Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao were all sneering inwardly.  

Here came another group of clueless idiots.  

Someone else was following in their footsteps, great!  

You should know that many of them initially regarded Zhou Qinghao as a soft persimmon, thinking they could squeeze him.  

As for the consequences… Those who had done bad deeds all died, and those with clean backgrounds became personal guards, serving Zhou Qinghao comfortably under Gu Juntian’s orders.  

“Qinghao, they definitely won’t dare to make a move against me now,” Gu Juntian sighed.  

Along the way, the people they encountered were all too timid. After being intimidated by Zhou Qinghao, they didn’t dare to take action against him.  

Speaking of which, he was about to finish unifying, so it might get a bit boring afterward.  

No, no, no, it wouldn’t be boring. Zhou Qinghao would be there too!  

As long as he was with Zhou Qinghao, he would never be bored.  

Zhou Qinghao felt inexplicably flustered.  

He looked up and saw Gu Juntian, who was still smiling at him.  

He instantly forgot his own anxiety, and all that remained in his eyes was Gu Juntian’s smile.  

His guide, truly the most handsome guide in the world, where were they going to travel next, no, to battle?  

Wait, hadn’t those bases already been mostly captured?  

Otherwise, could he encourage Gu Juntian to travel to another country?
