No. 17 Lipu Street.

The slanted plaque engraved with the dim words "Meditator" extended into a narrow passage. After climbing the stairs, the view suddenly opened up. The office environment here was unexpectedly spacious and tidy. Upon entering, a huge French window could be seen, with the curtains gathered on both sides. In front of the window was a large mahogany desk, and on both sides were separate soundproofed compartments.

The midday sunlight poured in.

Zhou Yexin sat in front of the desk, frowning as she scrutinized the young boy holding a cat in front of her. She already knew that the teacher would send a young intern to be her assistant, but she didn't expect the assistant to be... so young.

"What's your name...?"

The familiar question and familiar formula.

Gu Shen quickly pulled out a chair and sat down, confidently introducing himself, "Gu Shen, seventeen years old, male."

"Male... of course I know." Zhou Yexin was taken aback, her expression strange as she said, "You're the intern recommended by the teacher. You look too young. Can you handle this job?"

Gu Shen sat upright, and in his mind, the profile of the Meditator's leader slowly emerged.

Zhou Yexin, twenty-nine years old.

An ordinary person without any transcendent abilities.

What was admirable about her was that when she was eighteen, she went to the Centre Continents alone to study psychology for seven years. After returning to the East Continents, she became obsessed with dream research and traveled to many places. Finally, she came to the capital and opened this counseling room with the support of Tang Qingquan.

What was even more admirable was that, up to now, Miss Zhou had no idea about the existence of "Transcendents," but she obediently followed her own intuition... exploring the secrets of the transcendent realm.

She looked young and approachable, not at all like someone approaching thirty. When she smiled, she looked like a squirrel, revealing her white teeth and shallow dimples on both sides.

This kind of image was very suitable for this line of work, at least it would give people a relaxed feeling.

"Miss Zhou... actually, I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do." Gu Shen scratched his head and sincerely smiled, "But I learn quickly, so you can rest assured."

"Miss Zhou, you're calling me too old. Just call me Xiaoxinjie. I've heard the teacher mention you. He said you're very smart, talented, and self-taught."

After taking a few more glances at Gu Shen, Zhou Yexin felt that this young boy was delicate and increasingly comforting to look at.

She poured a cup of tea for Gu Shen and slowly said, "I'm just a little worried... someone your age who hasn't experienced hardships might have too idealistic expectations. When you actually start doing things, you'll find that it's completely different from what you imagined."

"Our work is not easy. Normal business hours are from nine in the morning to five in the evening, and we may have to work overtime for special appointments."

Gu Shen held the tea and listened quietly to Xiaoxinjie's words.

"In addition, you will also need to regularly organize and collect experimental reports. But you don't have to worry about this. You only need to be responsible for organizing and inputting the reports into the database. You don't need to be responsible for the specific experiments."

At first, Gu Shen almost couldn't help but laugh.

Nine to five?

"No problem..."

After listening, he quickly drank some tea to calm himself down, then said seriously, "I can handle this hardship."

More than just handling it?

He was practically counting on it.

...

...

The following week, Gu Shen lived a fulfilling life.

He rented a one-bedroom apartment near Lipu Street and lived alone. The environment was much better than the suburban area he used to live in, but it was far from the downtown apartment that Nanjin "gifted" him. In fact, Gu Shen was no longer short of money. From the moment he boarded the plane and confirmed the official execution of the mission, the Arbitration would provide him with a monthly living allowance of one hundred thousand yuan after tax.

Cui Zhongcheng explained the rank division within the Arbitration on the plane. After passing the initial assessment, a new recruit would become a probationary Arbitrator. By accumulating a certain number of qualified tasks completed independently, they would be promoted to the next stage, which was an Arbitrator.

Next would be a probationary Arbitration Officer, then an Arbitration Officer.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

Finally... the only current Grand Arbitrator.

The patrol range of a probationary Arbitrator was probably limited to one or a few streets... Gu Shen conscientiously included "Lipu Street" and several nearby streets within his surveillance range.

Cui Zhongcheng said his internship was an assessment.

The most headache-inducing thing was this silent assessment. Gu Shen felt like he was a player sitting at a card table, but the opponent hadn't played a card yet.

The best method, and the only method.

Wait patiently for action.

So Gu Shen calmly followed the mental cultivation plan he had formulated, completing his daily practice smoothly. He would arrive at the counseling office at eight-thirty in the morning, half an hour early to organize and summarize the experimental data. He would leave on time after work, using the remaining time to undergo transcendent trials in the deep water area and practice the Startling Awakening Breathing Technique.

He knew that there were no shortcuts on this path.

He could only work hard.

Besides these trivial matters, Gu Shen also noticed something worth paying attention to... this small psychological clinic on Lipu Street was quite famous. Perhaps it was related to Xiaoxinjie's management over the past six months. There were many clients who left appointments every week.

These clients came from all walks of life, but they were all normal people. There were young people who had experienced heartbreak, bankrupt and desolate business owners, and salaried workers under great pressure... before entering the clinic, they often had a gloomy expression, but when they left, their spirits were noticeably improved. It could be seen that their overall complexion had significantly improved.

Was it hypnosis?

However... Zhou Yexin didn't possess any transcendent abilities, so how did she do it?

It was the ninth day since he arrived on Lipu Street. Gu Shen glanced at the clock while organizing the files. It was eight-twenty. Hmm, there's a special appointment today... I should be off work in forty minutes.

In these nine days, Xiaoxinjie hadn't let him listen in even once.

What exactly was happening in the compartment... it was quite mysterious."Little Gu, bring in a cup of hot water."

A voice came from inside.

Gu Shen knew that the "psychological consultation" had come to an end.

He carried the hot water and knocked on the door. After receiving an affirmative response, he slowly pushed open the partition.

This time's client was a young girl who looked about his age. When she arrived, her face was haggard with clear tear stains. However, her expression had softened a lot now, but her eyes were hazy, as if she had just woken up.

Zhou Yexin was adjusting his clothes, a detail that Gu Shen caught... He saw a small pocket watch being tucked into the inner pocket of Zhou Yexin's clothes, and he felt a familiar aura in the room.

"It's a Transcendent seal... but the aura is very weak..."

Compared to the seals brought by the five members of the audit team, it was far too inferior, like the difference between heaven and earth.

The secret of Zhou Yexin seemed to be this pocket watch... If it was an object with Transcendent power, then his suspicion could be explained.

Gu Shen's expression didn't change at all. He pretended not to see it, carrying two cups of hot water into the room, one for each person.

"Thank you..." The girl's expression was soft, but her voice was hoarse. She took a small sip of the hot water, then whispered, "Thank you, Dr. Zhou, and thank you, Dr. Little Gu."

The clients who came here were used to calling Zhou Yexin 'doctor'... This title was not a problem, after all, Zhou Yexin was a powerful figure who had studied abroad in Centre Continents.

And he, an intern, was basking in the reflected glory, incidentally also being called a doctor.

Gu Shen was a bit uncomfortable at first, but now he was used to it.

During this period, he had been honing his mental strength, and he vaguely felt that his power of blazing fire had gradually stabilized. It wouldn't be long before he could use "mental hypnosis".

This was actually the reason why Gu Shen could accept the title of Dr. Little Gu with peace of mind.

Who said that an intern psychologist couldn't be considered a doctor?
