Chapter 475 Sentinel to the World: The Delicate and Useless Guide VS The Cunning and Super-Powerful

“Hehe,” Lan Yu’an stepped forward, stood next to Xie Linchuan, and began to watch the surveillance footage as well.

As the son of the Federal President, Lan Yu'an's visit to the Empire was indeed for the purpose of obtaining the mental pollution drug.

His primary objective was to find the person who developed the psychoactive drug and, ideally, bring him to the Federation.

Even if we can't find the person, getting the formula for the mental pollution drug would be good too.

However, during the days Lan Yu'an had been in the Empire, the Empire had kept the inventor and formula of the mental pollution drug a closely guarded secret. Despite their investigation over the long period, they had made no progress whatsoever.

The Federation also had spies in the Empire. According to the spies, the mental pollution drug appeared suddenly, and the first drug to treat mental pollution was brought back from outside, not from the Imperial Research Institute.

Lan Yu'an speculated that the person who produced the mental pollution drug was not from within the Imperial Research Institute, but he couldn't find out who that person was.

He started from the beginning, explaining that the mental pollution of the new Zerg was discovered and reported by Xie Linchuan of the First Legion Special Forces. After that, Xie Linchuan disappeared for a while. When he returned to the capital planet, the mental pollution drug was available.

Lan Yu'an had a hunch that the key to the matter lay with Xie Linchuan.

Therefore, he investigated in detail the whole story of Xie Linchuan's disappearance and return to the capital planet.

Finally, he found out that Xie Linchuan had crash-landed on an unknown planet, and that he had returned not alone, but with a girl.

Lan Yu'an couldn't find out the girl's true identity, but she could be fairly certain that the girl was a student at the Empire's First Military Academy.

So, under the guise of a visit, he participated in the final exam of the Imperial First Military Academy, hoping to find out who the girl really was.

Xie Linchuan did indeed join the guard team for the First Military Academy's assessment, whether it was to guard against Lan Yu'an or for other reasons.

Seeing the way he was staring at the monitor screen, Lan Yu'an didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

He had someone check the student information of the Empire's First Military Academy. In the past two years, the outstanding students, apart from His Majesty Prince Nangong Mingheng, were the newly enrolled S-level Sentinels and Guides.

Excluding male students, Lan Yu'an set her sights on Xia Qingqian, an S-level guide.

Xia Qingqian was also a key person Lan Yu'an observed at the First Military Academy.

Lan Yu'an searched through the numerous surveillance footage for Xia Qingqian's group, and just then, he caught a glimpse of Xie Linchuan looking in the same direction, which made him smile.

"As expected of the Empire's top military academy, it truly produces outstanding talents. I heard that there is an S-rank guide among the freshmen. I wonder if Captain Xie has taken notice of him?"

Xie Linchuan's lips twitched slightly, and he answered calmly, "I've been fighting the Zerg on the border planets and rarely come back."

It seems I haven't paid enough attention to my alma mater; I actually know less about it than Mr. Lan.

Lan Yu'an smiled, neither confirming nor denying. He thought he had seen through Xie Linchuan's attempt to cover up his true intentions. The more Xie Linchuan said, the more Lan Yu'an felt that he was trying to hide something.

However, Xie Linchuan's intentions could not be hidden for long. He had already made arrangements to make Xie Linchuan give himself away.

After eating and resting, Su Jinyue and the others continued their journey.

On the rest of the journey, when Su Jinyue encountered useful plants along the way and stopped to dig them up, Nangong Mingheng and the other two didn't wait around either. Those who were on guard and those who were free also helped Su Jinyue with the work.

After all, these things involve their food supply. If they can eat well, they're willing to go through a little trouble.

Nangong Mingheng and the other two were quite happy. They had thought that the final exam would be tough, but they didn't expect that with Su Jinyue's cooking, they would feel a sense of happiness.

The thought of having delicious food again that night gave Nangong Mingheng and the other two motivation. They even asked Su Jinyue which exotic beasts tasted better, promising to find a way to get them!

Su Jinyue didn't expect that she could win over Nangong Mingheng and the other two with just one meal. Su Jinyue did not refuse their help, as they would make things easier for her.

The journey went much more smoothly after that. Nangong Mingheng and the other two were in charge of the fighting, while Su Jinyue and Xu Haohao were in charge of logistics. For a moment, they even had the leisurely feeling of being on vacation.

Five days have passed, and Su Jinyue and the others have entered the area of ​​high-level alien beasts on the Trial Star.

Nangong Mingheng, Chu Guanzhong, and Song Shucheng discussed it. The map their teacher gave them showed that there was an S-class alien beast in the area. With the three of them's combat strength, killing this alien beast shouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, this S-class alien beast has a very high score, almost equal to the score they earned from killing alien beasts in the previous five days.

Su Jinyue and Xu Haohao had no objections, so their group headed straight here.

Unexpectedly, just as Su Jinyue and the others were setting up camp and resting at the foot of the mountain where the strange beast was located, and cooking, they ran into Lin Xianyu and Xia Qingqian's group, who had just arrived there.

Although Lin Xianyu and Xia Qingqian didn't have a good reputation at school, their abilities were undeniable, and they still had influence and appeal.

Lin Xianyu's group, besides himself and Xia Qingqian, an S-level guide, also includes two A-level sentinels and one A-level guide.

With such a high-caliber team, Lin Xianyu's purpose in coming here is self-evident: she's here for that S-class alien beast.

Su Jinyue was not surprised to see them arrive, as Lin Xianyu's group was considered one of the strongest among these groups.

It's perfectly understandable to want to challenge an S-class alien beast.

But Su Jinyue wasn't afraid of him. The strength of Nangong Mingheng, Chu Guanzhong, and Song Shucheng was no less than that of Lin Xianyu's group, and it was still uncertain who would emerge victorious.

As for Xia Qingqian and that A-level guide, Su Jinyue was not afraid at all.

Xia Qingqian is all show and no substance. Even if Su Jinyue were to face that A-level guide, she wouldn't lose.

Therefore, Su Jinyue's group can completely crush Lin Xianyu's group without any fear.

In a flash, Su Jinyue had already weighed the strength of her group against Lin Xianyu's group.

After figuring it out, she continued cooking. Nangong Mingheng and the others had gone to capture the strange beast and hadn't returned yet, so only she and Xu Haohao were in the camp.

Their tasks were also quite demanding: cleaning and preparing the vegetables they had dug up along the way, and boiling water to wait for Nangong Mingheng and the others to return and deal with the strange beasts.

Lin Xianyu hadn't expected to run into Su Jinyue here, and he paused slightly in his steps.

However, his team members behind him couldn't understand his subtle thoughts. They also planned to regroup at the foot of the mountain before going up to fight the alien beasts.

So, Lin Xianyu's team members set up their things and prepared to rest on a flat area about 100 meters away from Su Jinyue.
