Bluewater Project

[Overpowered Sentinel vs. Aloof Guide Who Only Wants to Save the World]

The apocalypse arrived, and the planet Siskeli entered a new era.

Some humans awakened and differentiated into Sentinels, blessed with great strength and heightened senses, or Guides, endowed with exceptional mental power and the ability to control Sentinels.

After drinking an inferior drug called Blue Water, Jiang Fengli awakened as a defective Guide. Her mental landscape was in ruins, her consciousness sea was incomplete, and even the ordinary act of sending out mental threads, something Guides could do with ease, triggered pain.

After an accident, she formed a bond with the strongest Sentinel on the planet, and their compatibility was a staggering 100%!

After Chen Li begged and pleaded, she reluctantly agreed to go back to the Tower with him.

From then on, Jiang Fengli went further and further down the path of being a well-connected nobody.

1. She used the connections of the South River Guild's young master to get into the planet's top military academy.

2. She won the planet's biggest competition, the Challenger Alliance Cup, thanks to the No. 1 Sentinel in combat strength.

3. She obtained the coveted status of first-class citizen of the White Tower.

4. She was parachuted into the position of squad leader through connections.

5. She became an SSS-rank Guide.

Wait, that's not right.

Surely that one couldn't be down to connections?

Only after Jiang Fengli charged into battle, piloting a mech with one hand and linking with Sentinels with the other as she slaughtered wave after wave of mutated beasts, did people realize that Chen Li was the one living off his partner!

-

Jiang Fengli swore to protect the planet, and she was willing to brave fire and water to do it.

Who knew that a Sentinel would keep following her through every perilous journey, impossible to shake off or escape?

With the triple debuffs of being captain of the Stellar Squad, the interstellar No. 1 SSS-rank Sentinel, and heir to the South River Guild, everyone called him aloof and arrogant, and said he was famous for putting everything down by force.

Jiang Fengli glanced at Chen Li, who was crawling under the chassis to repair her mech.

She tentatively smacked him on the left cheek.

Chen Li flew into a rage, looking ready to explode. He slowly stood up and leaned toward her with an intimidating air.

It made her shrink back a little.

But then the man offered her his right cheek, too.

Other people said Chen Li was hard to tame. Jiang Fengli thought he was pretty ordinary.

-

The male lead's perspective:

Chen Li was the strongest three-S-rank Sentinel in the galaxy. While killing mutated beasts on the front lines, he was driven berserk by an inducer and rushed to a hospital in the lower district for emergency treatment.

But because his body was exceptionally difficult for Guides to match with, he could not be purified. His mental sea was on the verge of collapse, and his life was nearly over.

He never expected to happen upon a newly awakened little Guide at the hospital.

And that little Guide just happened to have a 100% compatibility rating with him! The moment they linked, all the damage to his body was repaired.

Chen Li decided that fortune truly favored him.

Naturally, he was going to take the little Guide back to the Tower, but she wasn't having it.

He patiently tried every trick, coaxing and threatening, offering inducements and pleading, but she wouldn't even look at him.

Hey, he was the South River Guild's top Sentinel, always the center of attention wherever he went. He'd never been treated with such disdain.

Furious, he turned and strode off, rolling up his sleeves as he headed back to the Tower.

But after just two days away from the little Guide, his mental power became unstable again, and he lost all his combat ability.

So he went crawling back to the poor district in the lower district to find that little Guide, Jiang Fengli.

At the time, Jiang Fengli was curled up in a dark basement, barely clinging to life.

Chen Li was terrified. He rushed around setting up a cozy home, cooking meals, boiling water, and bringing everything to her. Every day, he put on an act to comfort this little queen. "Your Majesty, please don't do anything rash. If you were gone, I'd be done for, too."

A smile hung on Jiang Fengli's pale face. Long-term depression had left her listless.

Chen Li hurried over and held her in his arms, weeping as he pleaded, "Live! Let's live. Will you do it for me?" His tone was humble, his words sincere.

-

After all his hardships, Chen Li finally managed to beg this little queen into living and working with him in the Tower.

He had assumed the little Guide he'd begged for would be spoiled and unable to endure wind or snow.

Who knew that after entering Binai Military Academy, she would climb through the ranks at a speed that left everyone dumbfounded.

Unlike ordinary support-type Guides, she became famous for her offensive mental threads, whose attack rank and power were no weaker than a Sentinel's.

During one mission, a special operations squad was driven into a desperate situation by a contaminated mutant.

The mutant's long tentacles released a crushing pressure, leaving everyone unable to stand and sprawled helplessly on the ground.

But Jiang Fengli, whom they had dismissed as useless, nimbly got up and dusted off her hands.

"A petty trick."

She looked as if she couldn't hurt a fly, but with just one step forward, she made the monster cough up blood and shrink into a ball.

"Don't be afraid. You'll be dead for good soon." The whisper of death came from beside their ears.

The onlookers were dumbstruck. "Didn't they say talent ranks couldn't change? How did she go straight from C-rank to SSS-rank?!"

Is she even human???!!!

Chen Li proudly lifted his chin and put an arm around Jiang Fengli's shoulders. "Well, what did you expect? She's my Guide."

But before he could spend even a few days feeling smug,

Jiang Fengli started packing her bag and trying to run away from home every other day.

"I'm going to stop the evil organization's evil plan!"

"I'm going to Blue Star to rescue the captives!" "I'm going to the front lines to kill mutated beasts and bugs!"

"I'm going to fight for the rights of the people in the lower district!" she declared passionately.

Jiang Fengli pointed at the stars in the sky, and Chen Li said, "You got it!"

Jiang Fengli charged to the front lines on a garbage planet, and Chen Li swung his massive blade and joined the fight.

Jiang Fengli stayed in the lower district to care for the injured poor, and Chen Li did manual labor every day to help deliver medicine.

In short, wherever Jiang Fengli went, Chen Li followed!

Chen Li had only one request of Jiang Fengli. He tugged at her clothes and pleaded in a humble voice, "Your Majesty, we can save the world, but please don't leave me."

*

This is a fictional future world. Please don't compare it to reality.

*

If we don't clear away the clouds shrouding the entire planet, the rain will never end.

And I will clear away those clouds with my own hands, so everyone can see the light of day.

Jiang Fengli
