Mo Si, connected to the sensors, immediately received the notification that Jiang Qiuqiu had passed the first checkpoint.

He adjusted his mental power and sensed that Jiang Qiuqiu’s entire mental sea was trembling.

Obviously, she had struggled to cross the first checkpoint.

But even though it was tough enough to make her mental sea tremble, she still made it!

Mo Si immediately made a new assessment of Jiang Qiuqiu. Although she appeared delicate on the outside, she had a determined heart.

Persistence was an essential quality in the Federal Army.

Jiang Qiuqiu was exhausted. After exerting all her strength to pass the first checkpoint, she opened her eyes, panting.

Sweat trickled down, covering her pupils, giving everything a damp and misty feeling. Jiang Qiuqiu blinked, and even in this unclear vision, she saw Mo Si’s eyes.

What deep, profound eyes they were. The light shone in his eye sockets like scattered stars, thousands of them, all concentrated on the person in front of him.

Mo Si looked very earnestly at Jiang Qiuqiu. In Jiang Qiuqiu’s eyes, his gaze was affectionate, with a kind of tenderness that seemed to invite words but hold them back.

In Mo Si’s eyes:

She recovered so quickly?

She was able to open her eyes just after her mental power trembled?

She didn’t seem to be suffering much; she seemed able to endure?

Perhaps her physical strength was weak, but her mental recovery ability must be one of the best. This was extremely important for prolonged battles.

His eyes lit up even more.

Jiang Qiuqiu only saw the stars shining brighter, and Mo Si seemed more vivid.

It seemed like even his voice softened, “You did very well.”

“Really?” Jiang Qiuqiu was surprised. “I’m already out of energy after just passing the first checkpoint.”

“It’s normal. It’s your first time. Being able to persist means you’ve passed, and that’s already good.”

This… Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t tell if this was just polite words or what, so she casually said, “This checkpoint is still a bit difficult.”

Then Mo Si immediately shook his head, looking serious. “No, it won’t be difficult for you.”

“You seem a little excited.”

“No, I just think you have a lot of potential. You shouldn’t give up easily.”

Jiang Qiuqiu: ???

She couldn’t help but remark, give up easily?

It seemed that this mental grooming therapist’s praise just now was genuine. He really spoke directly.

But then again, his serious manner of speaking did have a certain charm.

The solemn voice, the serious expression, the top half of his face that couldn’t seem to be serious no matter what—a strange combination, creating a very charming man.

Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Now that they had brought up mental power, after looking at each other for a while, they talked about some things related to mental power. Jiang Qiuqiu consulted Mo Si about some minor issues regarding herself.

Mo Si answered them one by one, and in his heart, he noted down these characteristics.

“So, do you feel tired from continuous training recently?”

“Tiredness is fine. I just need to rest for a while with the mental helmet on.”

“Just the helmet?” Mo Si added, “You don’t do anything else to supplement your mental state?”

Supplementing mental state? Jiang Qiuqiu questioned, “Does eating count?”

Drinking ordinary nutrient solutions is considered to lower intelligence, but Jiang Qiuqiu’s self-cooked meals are obviously for recovery, so Mo Si nodded.

“Yes, there is. After mental training, I eat a lot more food.”

So recently Jiang Qiuqiu’s appetite has been increasing. Before, she could be satisfied with just one bowl, but now, after mental training, she feels like she could eat a whole basin.

She gestured with her hands in parentheses, indicating, “Maybe this much.”
