The Josephs couldn't figure out why Lu Zexuan, a cold sentinel who had no interest in guides, suddenly had feelings for Yu Ran? If I remembered correctly, they had only known each other for a day. Lu Zexuan, a very rational person, wouldn't fall in love at first sight with a little guide, right
Joseph recovered from his surprise and frowned, saying, "Yu Ran just turned 18, he's still young, I don't want him to be matched with someone so early."
Lu Zexuan said: "It doesn't matter, 18 years old is considered an adult. We can get to know each other first."
Joseph rolled his eyes in his heart, but with a kind smile on his face: "Think about it again. He is just a C-level guide and will not be of much help to your mental sorting."
Since bringing Yu Ran back to the association, Joseph has developed a strong "protective" mentality. This child has a miserable life, lost his parents, and has no one to rely on. He followed her to the Guide Association alone, and she must protect Yu Ran.
Of course, Lu Zexuan was an excellent sentinel. Regardless of his family background, appearance, and personal ability, he was definitely more than qualified to be a C-level guide like Yu Ran. But she just didn't want Yu Ran to be marked by a sentinel at such a young age.
Lu Zexuan sensed the resistance of the Josephs, and also understood that his request was a bit excessive. However, the Guide Association had strict management, and the sanctuary was a closed teaching place, so Lu Zexuan had no reason to approach Yu Ran. He was worried that if his guess was true... Yu Ran would kill more people.
Although Yu Ran did not have the time to commit the crime, and his alibis for both crimes were also complete. However, there were too many coincidences, and he could not let his mind go. The sharp intuition of the S-level sentinel also kept reminding him that he had seen Yu Ran somewhere before.
Thinking of this, Lu Zexuan said decisively: "It doesn't matter if the mental power is C level. My other half does not need too strong mental power, and I will not take him to the battlefield. Joseph, I have carefully considered this matter, and I will formally submit a matching application to the association. Please ask Yu Ran to prepare. Madam, go to bed early, good night."
Joseph: “…”
The usually gentle Joseph was so angry that he almost crushed the communicator in his hand.
Lu Zexuan submitted an application directly to the association, so she couldn't protect Yu Ran anymore!
The number of federal guides is scarce, and 80% of the Sentinels cannot find a guide partner and can only marry ordinary people. In this situation of "too many monks and too little porridge", the marriage is naturally unbalanced. In order to stabilize the emotions of single Sentinels, the Guide Association has formulated a rule - except for Sentinels and Guides who are in free love, other single Sentinels of the right age who want to find a guide partner must register a score card with the Guide Association.
Sentinels who have made contributions to the Federation in any field, such as science, education, and the military, will have their scores recorded. They will be ranked according to their scores every year, and Sentinels with higher scores will be given priority to match single guides. Of course, guides can also refuse to date their matches. For example, Moore, an A-level guide in the Falcon Corps, has rejected many Sentinels with higher matching scores and has no interest in dating.
Lu Zexuan had completed many dangerous missions and was currently ranked first in the single sentinel rankings. As long as he formally applied to the association and specified that he wanted to be matched with Yu Ran, the Josephs would have no reason to refuse, and at least let them try to see if they were compatible.
Of course, after the matching results come out, whether the two will date or not depends on Yu Ran's willingness. Fortunately, Lu Zexuan is an S-level sentinel, and Yu Ran is only a C-level guide. The matching degree of the two should not exceed 60%, which will be easy to deal with, and Yu Ran will have sufficient reasons to reject Lu Zexuan.
Joseph fell asleep in a bad mood, and the ragdoll cat at her feet was wagging its tail restlessly.
At this time, the White Tower had just issued a recall order, and Lu Zexuan was leading the Falcon Special Forces to return to the capital star overnight.
The rescue mission at the B73 base was completed beautifully this time. The Falcon Special Forces drove away the mutant beasts with minimal losses, saving the lives of countless humans at the base. Next, the government will send someone else to repair the security zone's defense network and rebuild the damaged houses.
The Falcon starship has set sail, and Lu Zexuan stood by the porthole, stroking his chin thoughtfully. Using "matching" to get close to Yu Ran is indeed unfair to Yu Ran if he is innocent, but there is no better way at the moment.
He could only promise not to hurt Yu Ran, and if Yu Ran met someone he liked in the future, he would think of a decent reason to break up with Yu Ran. As long as the sentinel and the guide had not really had physical union, breaking up due to emotional incompatibility was common, and it would not affect Yu Ran's future choices.
That's it. He had to keep an eye on Yu Ran and make sure no one else died "accidentally", otherwise the situation would get bigger and bigger and there would be no way to resolve it.
***
The next morning, just after Yu Ran washed his face, someone brought him two large boxes: "Yu Ran, these are the clothes that the Joseph people gave you."
Yu Ran was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "So many?"
"Madam said that you came to the capital planet in a hurry and didn't bring much luggage, so she asked us to buy some daily necessities for you."
Yu Ran was from a poor family, lost his parents, and came to the capital planet alone. His clothes looked a little worn out. The people of Joseph were considerate of his reputation and bought him a lot of new clothes before he went to the sanctuary to study, so that he could be a decent student and not be too shabby and looked down upon by others.
She was true to form, protecting the young guides like a mother.
Yu Ran took the suitcase with a complicated look: "Thank my wife for me."
Just as the voice fell, there was the sound of high heels coming from outside the door: "You're welcome. Did you have a good rest last night?"
Facing the smile of Joseph, Yu Ran also smiled: "It's good. I slept until dawn."
When he smiled, a cute dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth. Joseph looked at Yu Ran's innocent and naive appearance, and thought of the matching application submitted by a certain sentinel overnight, and she became more and more irritated. She took a deep breath to calm down, rubbed Yu Ran's head, and said, "Change your clothes first and go to eat. After dinner, I will take you to another place."
After the two had breakfast in the association's restaurant, Joseph took Yu Ran on the hovercraft.
Yu Ran sat in the car, looking through the window at the buildings on the side of the road that were rapidly receding, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart - this is not the way to the sanctuary, where is she taking me
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Joseph sigh lightly and said helplessly: "Of course, I have to take you to the matching center."
Yu Ran's back stiffened slightly, but his face remained expressionless. He pretended to be curious and asked, "What are you doing at the matching center? Didn't you say you were going to report to the sanctuary today?"
The Joseph frowned and said, "It's like this, Lu Zexuan... Do you still remember the sentry?"
Yu Ran nodded: "General Lu, of course I remember, he saved me."
Joseph said, "He has submitted an application to the association and wants to try to match with you."
Yu Ran: “… ”
The expression on his face was about to burst.
It seems that the sentry still has not dispelled his suspicion of him and actually thought of using a matching method to get close to him. What a difficult guy.
Fortunately, Lu Zexuan didn't know that Yu Ran had two spirit bodies. When he registered with the Guide Association yesterday, he only registered the information of the little white fox. The nine-tailed fox has been hiding well. Lu Zexuan is an S-level sentinel. As long as Yu Ran releases one spirit body and hides his strength, the match will definitely not be too high.
Yu Ran sneered in his heart, but continued to look confused on the surface: "Why should he match with me?"
"Who knows? He has already submitted his application. I'll take you there to deal with him." Joseph patted the back of Yu Ran's hand comfortingly and said, "Don't feel pressured. The matching center is like an introducer between sentinels and guides. The matching degree is just a reference data. It's up to you to decide whether to date him or not. Besides, your matching degree should be very low. If you don't want to fall in love, he can't force you."
Yu Ran nodded ignorantly: "Well, I just want to go to the sanctuary and study hard. I have no plans to fall in love."
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the matching center.
Yu Ran followed Joseph into the room and saw Lu Zexuan wearing a neat black military uniform, standing in the reception room of the matching center with a cold expression. The military belt tied around his waist made his waist look lean and capable, and his legs were straight and slender. The man was tall and handsome, and he looked particularly elegant in the formal military uniform.
A shrunken white falcon lowered its wings and stood quietly on its master's shoulder, looking at Yu Ran with its light grey eyes. The pressure from the S-class sentinel made Yu Ran feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Lu Zexuan quickly withdrew his gaze and said politely, "Joseph, let's start."
Joseph said helplessly: "Since you insist on matching with Yu Ran, let's follow the procedure. Both of you, please put your spirit bodies on the matching scale."
The Matching Scale is a special measuring instrument made by the Guide Association. It has two transparent balls on each side, and a special magnetic field inside. After the spirit enters the Matching Scale, the instrument will automatically read the spirit power values of the Sentinel and the Guide. The closer the values are, the higher the matching degree.
Lu Zexuan moved his shoulders slightly, and the falcon on his shoulder immediately flew to the scale, and Yu Ran also released his little white fox.
When the little white fox saw the big eagle next to it, it seemed a little scared. It curled up into a ball of fur on the scale and trembled slightly. Its acting was very detailed.
The big eagle seemed a little shy. He glanced at the little white fox and stood still.
The moment the two spirits were placed on the matching scale at the same time, the scale immediately tilted wildly towards the falcon.
The S-level spirit body's mental power was indeed very high, and it killed the little white fox instantly. The matching data also popped up on the screen -
49%.
Yu Ran felt like laughing.
On the surface, he pretended to be embarrassed: "My mental strength is too low. The matching degree with the general is not even 50%."
The people of Joseph couldn't help but burst out laughing - 49%, this is not even passing!
Seeing Lu Zexuan looking back at her, she immediately put away her smile and said seriously: "General, it seems that Yu Ran is really not suitable for you. The match degree is less than 50%... Well, if you want to be with Ran Ran, I'm afraid your parents will object."
"Our mental power is indeed not very compatible." Lu Zexuan paused and said, "But Madam, don't forget, there is another way to match."
The man waved his hand, and a staff member in a white coat walked up to him with a medical kit.
Yu Ran suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"In addition to mental power, we can also match the guiding element. Perhaps, Yu Ran's guiding element is very compatible with mine?" Lu Zexuan glanced at Yu Ran, then rolled up the sleeves of his military uniform, revealing his strong arms. The medical staff quickly took out a disposable blood collection needle and drew a small tube of blood from his arm.
"Yu Ran, do you want to try guide element matching?" Lu Zexuan straightened his sleeves and looked at Yu Ran with a gentle gaze.
“…” Yu Ran felt as if a thorn in his back was hanging.
This sentry was extremely perceptive. Maybe he recognized his guide Su, so he kept staring at him.
In addition to matching spiritual power, there is another way to match between sentinels and guides, which is "guide element matching". Because guide element also has the effect of "pacifying sentinels", it is like a good medicine for sentinels. If a guide's spiritual power is not high enough, he cannot help the sentinel. But if the guide element is useful to the sentinel, the two can also be combined.
Joseph thought, since both of you failed to match the mental power data, then the guide element must be useless. Normally, it is like this. She looked at Yu Ran and said with a smile: "Since the general is not giving up, Ran Ran, you can take out some more guide element and try to match with him."
Yu Ran stretched out his arms with mixed feelings, praying silently in his heart: Don't match with him.
The doctor drew Yu Ran's blood into a transparent needle and placed the guide element in a specially made matching instrument. The familiar cool fragrance drifted into his nose, and Lu Zexuan stared at the big screen with deep eyes. The instrument began to analyze the data, and lines of values flashed quickly on the screen, followed by a bright red data popping up in the middle of the screen.
Match degree: 98%.
The Joseon people opened their mouths in shock.
Lu Zexuan: “…”
Yu Ran: “… … …”
