Mel shook his head. "I don't remember. Every time Ifrit went to the store, Lucille wouldn't take the money. Instead, she came over and took away a few small things I didn't want."

Is Ifrit doing a free shopping in Rhodes Island? White Wolf thought secretly. She felt that this issue needed to be paid attention to by Hemer. However, was there any suspicion that Lucille was also inducing consumption?

The two hung up the phone, and after Bai Lang finished the next test, he went back to clean the room. Since he was going to meet guests tomorrow, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't clean it thoroughly.

While she was cleaning up, she got a call from Texas:

"My boss asked me to send someone to Rhodes Island tomorrow morning. I plan to meet with Lappland while I'm there."

Volume 3: Chapter 83 New Member

The next day, Texas arrived in Rhode Island very early. When she saw someone coming to pick up Miss Magellan, she left by herself and sent a message to White Wolf asking where Lappland was.

/{ At that time, White Wolf had just finished breakfast and was about to go to Hemer's laboratory for a routine check. After seeing the message, her curiosity was aroused. She immediately said that Lappland seemed difficult to deal with and asked if she needed help.

Unfortunately, Texas declined her kindness and decided to solve the problem himself. White Wolf had no choice but to continue to go to Hemer's laboratory to conduct case analysis as required.

Texas' idea was simple. She wanted to say everything at once so that Lapland wouldn't continue to pester her. She set off confidently.

No one knows what happened during this period.

The next day, Texas began to regret not asking Miss White Wolf to help her. She overestimated her own abilities and underestimated Lappland's determination. That guy stuck to her like a piece of taffy and she could never get rid of him.

Bai Lang walked towards the laboratory alone. This usually quiet place was particularly lively today. She could hear Ifrit's shouting from a long distance away, as if many people were communicating with each other.

She walked closer to the laboratory curiously and knocked on the door gently. The discussion in the room was not interrupted by her arrival. She heard a pair of lively footsteps bouncing towards her.

It was Ifrit who opened the door. She cheered and impatiently pulled White Wolf into the laboratory.

"Maimai, Meier, Fafalin is coming."

As White Wolf was being pulled inside by Ifrit, she also scanned the people in the laboratory. Hemer and White-Faced Owl were there. Mel, with whom she had met via video yesterday, greeted her with a smile. There was also a Miss Liberi who looked at her curiously. She must be the 'Mai Mai' that Ifrit often mentioned.

"You two actually know each other secretly." Ifrit looked at Mel and Fafarin who were greeting each other with dissatisfaction. This made her lose a good opportunity to act as a middleman, but fortunately Mai Mai and Fafarin had never met each other.

She quickly pulled up Bai Lang with one hand and Mai Mai with the other, put their hands together, looked at them one after another, and said seriously: "This is Mai Mai, and this is Fafa Lin."

White Wolf liked to see Ifrit’s serious look the most. She couldn’t help but touch the little girl’s head with her other hand and said with a smile, “This is Ifrit, right?”

"Don't talk about me, just shake hands quickly, both of you." Ifrit started to act coquettishly.

"As you command, Lord Ifrit." White Wolf happily shook hands with Miss Liberi. "Miss Mai Mai, Ifrit often talked to me about you."

Magellan smiled and squinted his eyes: "Evefu always tells me about you. She likes you very much."

White Wolf suddenly had a strange idea. If he asked Ifrit which person she liked more at this time, it would be interesting to see the little girl embarrassed. Of course, this was just a fleeting bad thought. She couldn't bear to embarrass Ifrit, who was so happy.

After getting to know each other with his new friend, White Wolf sat in front of the instrument, stretched out his left arm, and cooperated with Hemer and White-faced Owl in the examination.

This test was destined to be different from the previous ones. Ifrit, Mel, and Magellan all came over to watch and comforted the patient from their own perspectives.

"Hemer is the most professional doctor, there will definitely be no problem." Mel commented. She has always believed in Hemer's medical skills.

"Recently, scholars from Leitania discovered new materials that can suppress Originium disease in the ice field. I found some and brought them back this time. Maybe they will be useful." Magellan pointed to the backpack in the corner.

Ifrit was different. She touched the Originium crystal on White Wolf's arm and imparted her expert experience in a serious manner: "The crystal is very small. Listen to Hemer, drink more medicine, get more sleep, and it will be fine soon."

After the test results came out this time, Hemer and White-faced Owl discussed and believed that the improved type I inhibitor had a good effect, the infection situation was stable enough, and the close monitoring status could be lifted in advance. The data obtained by White Wolf are as follows:

The average crystal density of blood Originium is stable at 0.26u/L, and the fusion rate of somatic cells and Originium changes very little, still maintaining a level of about 4%.

In fact, the blood source stone crystal density of 0.26 is already proof of a moderate infection, but Bai Lang's heart was not too shaken. She had been in the medical department for a long time, reading the notes of Kal'tsit, Hummer and others every day, and had enough knowledge reserves. She knew that these data meant that she was safe enough.

It is worth mentioning that two days ago, she saw a yellowed piece of paper in the gap between Kal'tsit's notes. The owner of the paper proposed a hypothesis in neat and beautiful handwriting:

According to my observation, the threat of oripathy only exists in a non-steady state. If the patient's condition can be stabilized and the infection level does not increase, theoretically, they can have the same lifespan as normal people. People's research on oripathy seems to have fallen into a rut. Before blindly looking for a cure, perhaps some inhibitory reagents can be developed to promote this stable state.

...The gradual transition from suppression balance to strategic counterattack is also feasible from a tactical point of view.

White Wolf didn't know who left the note, and could only tell from the handwriting that it wasn't Kal'tsit. But since Kal'tsit carefully put it in her notebook, it must be an important person. The sudden mention of tactical issues at the end of the paper made her a little confused, and it didn't seem like something a researcher should say.

This experience also made Bai Lang more clearly aware of the severity of the natural disaster. She had overused Originium skills many times in a row in Longmen, and the density of her blood Originium crystals had only barely increased by 0.01. However, during the one day and one night she was injured in the disaster area, the degree of infection increased by more than ten times.

All in all, Hemer's results allowed Bai Lang to put her worries aside temporarily. After relaxing, she started chatting with Mel and others. However, the topic was quickly diverted by the enthusiastic Mel to the research project and brought up the company's affairs.

At first, Ifrit didn't understand what they were talking about, and was anxiously waiting for an opportunity to join the conversation. When she heard about Fafarin's company, her eyes immediately lit up and she announced that she must join in to help.

White Wolf had no choice but to pretend to agree. Ifrit was just going to play for a while anyway, but she didn't expect that Mel seemed to believe it.

She echoed Ifrit's words, "I'll join too. I can do research anywhere, and it's just right to be with Ifrit."

So Magellan also joined in name only.

Volume 3: Chapter 84 The Messenger

When Dou Miao received the news, hurried back from Longmen and arrived at Bai Lang's dormitory, she could hardly believe her eyes.

Two experts from the Rhode Island Engineering Department, Mel and Wendy, were actually present at the scene. Although Liberi did not know the other two, the fact that they could participate in the discussion showed that they were also experts in related fields.

In her original idea, recruiting technical personnel would be the most difficult task for the entire company, but in just one trip to Longmen, Bailang had quietly done it all.

She was shocked for only a moment, but when she saw the white wolf in the room, she immediately returned to normal.

Since Sister Bai is here, everything is natural, she thought.

At this time, she had not yet realized that she had all the elements of a blind admirer. Of course, even if she noticed, she would not care. In her opinion, this was a reasonable and well-founded thing, and there was nothing strange about it. Even if Kal'tsit from Rhodes Island suddenly sat in the room one day, she would not be surprised for long.

After Dou Miao joined, the meeting group organized by White Wolf was finally complete. A group of people sat around on the sofa, eating snacks prepared by White Wolf in advance, and discussing their ideas. Even the most introverted Snow Pheasant was driven by this relaxed atmosphere and repeatedly talked about his original scientific research projects.

In such technical topics, Bai Lang had no say, so she simply acted as an observer and listened to everyone's discussion silently.

The person who spoke the most was Mel, who stayed in the lab every day and was very active. Perhaps because of her wide range of research, she could reply to everyone's words. Although Researcher Xuezhi was at a disadvantage in terms of scientific research experience, she was the only one who had specialized in extreme environment equipment and could always raise questions that others could not think of. Magellan had rich experience in field surveys, so she was more familiar with the needs of researchers. She kept proposing to add various new functions.

The remaining two, Wendy and Dou Miao, somehow ended up chatting together. Bai Lang paid attention to their conversation and found that Miss Dou Miao was no longer simply discussing the rock crab, but had expanded the scope to more biological fields. Regarding the difficulty in taming other creatures, Researcher Wendy proposed a control plan of electric current pulse stimulation, and admitted that she had successfully tried it on the Originium worm.

This was not a serious and formal discussion to begin with, but the longer it lasted, the more excited the participants became. They finally had the opportunity to exchange ideas with other researchers, and later on, the topic gradually shifted away from the research project originally discussed.

White Wolf, who was listening in, gradually began to feel uneasy:

Miss Magellan was actually one of the founders of the Rhine Life Drone Team. When she was operating at the Rhine Life experimental base, she suffered a lot from the drones.

Mel thinks that he has too few Mibos and is having trouble making them, so he's even considering letting Mibos replicate themselves. White Wolf immediately imagines a next-generation science fiction movie.

Wendy, a weak-looking bioengineer, nonchalantly proposed that with the use of some simple and cheap electronic props, she could give anyone the ability to manipulate Originium creatures. Unfortunately, no one would be interested in such meaningless research.

The first two did not stir up much emotion in Bai Lang's heart. After all, she had already seen drones, and self-replicating mechanical bodies seemed too early. When Wendy's words reached her ears, her heartbeat quickened.

Ordinary people are indeed not interested in controlling Originium creatures, but the battlefield is different. The main reason why Originium creatures are rarely used on the battlefield of Terra is that there is a serious shortage of warlocks with manipulation capabilities. If this can be overcome, then no force will mind adding new forces to their army.

If the Integration Movement can cooperate with the Originium creatures, its combat effectiveness will increase by more than one or two points.

White Wolf was lost in confusion, not knowing what to do. She closed her eyes and heard Kal'tsit's whisper: 'No one can truly foresee the road, we can only do what is at hand.'

This image was replaced by Tallulah, who looked out over the snowy plains of Ursus from a high place, her anger hidden in her sadness: "The adults may be guilty, but the children are innocent. They died before they could grow up."

She sighed softly.

Later, when Terra scholars were studying the development of the Reunion Movement, they all noticed an anomaly. This originally weak and backward group of infected people had made incredible progress in strength. They attributed it to the outstanding leadership of Talulah and Bodracasti and the strong support of the Sarkaz mercenaries. Some unconventional researchers also found through investigation that the casualty rate of the Reunion Movement was maintained at an extremely low level. In addition, as if as a substitute, there were more than normal Originium creature corpses in the battlefield ruins. These people concluded that the unique tactical factors should not be ignored.

However, no one believed that the Reunion Movement could maintain a low casualty rate against the regular army of Ursus. The latter's views were labeled as rigid and short-sighted, and became a laughing stock in the academic community.

……

After that meeting, in order to let Dou Miao grow quickly, Bai Lang basically stopped interfering in the company's affairs. This was not because she wanted to be lazy. In fact, she was very busy every day. Kal'tsit specially entrusted her to help Rhodes Island recruit operators. Facing the company's largest financial backer, she would never dare to run west if the other party asked her to go east.

During this period, White Wolf also asked Kal'tsit to help her find a messenger willing to go to the north of Ursus. Unexpectedly, the matter came to fruition just two days later. A messenger named Mostima came to Rhodes Island, found White Wolf, and said with a smile that he could send the letter to any place.

Since he was someone specially recommended by Kal'tsit, he naturally gained White Wolf's trust. She sealed the book and envelope she had prepared long ago and handed them to this special Sakota messenger.

The book is a manual for the infected that was overhauled by Kal'tsit, with special content suitable for the climate of Ursus added. The last chapter is White Wolf's personal opinion after reading several medical books, under the pretext of giving himself a sense of participation. After Kal'tsit checked it, he deleted the parts that might mislead students, and added the others as reasonable supplements.

The letter only used a short space to write about business matters, including the trading plan for the Originium Mine, etc. The majority of the space was occupied by greetings to friends and boring ramblings.

That night, she didn't know why she wrote a very long letter unconsciously. She stopped writing only when she realized it was inappropriate. Later, she kept thinking about Alina's expression after receiving the letter, whether the other party would ask Frost Star and Tallulah to read it, when she could receive the reply and what would be written in the reply. She thought of the sentence "I see the autumn wind in Longmen City, and write a letter with a thousand thoughts", and she couldn't help laughing.

Volume 3: Chapter 85: Time Remains Still

The end of the year 1095 in the Terra calendar was a busy yet enjoyable time for White Wolf.

Shortly after the auction that Dou Miao participated in ended, Rhodes Island funded the renovation of the three-story office building and used the second floor as an office, where Rangers and others were stationed, and other operators took turns to be on duty every week.

This place quickly became a holy place in the hearts of the Rhodes Island operators: the work was easy, there was no need to work overtime at the manufacturing station, and most of the time could be spent shopping and buying rare products at full price. In the evening, you could taste Longmen snacks on the street and admire the colorful city. When you were tired, you could walk through the park and return to the newly decorated dormitory to rest. The only pity was that it took a long time to get a shift, and each shift lasted only seven days.

Since she stayed in Longmen most of the time, Bai Lang found herself a sunny room on the third floor as a temporary dormitory. Every morning, she would sleep until the sun crept into the room and then wake up. After washing up, she would heat a cup of milk and two slices of bread for breakfast.

After a simple meal, she went downstairs to the second floor, greeted her colleagues at Rhodes Island along the way, and then went to the office to see if there were any resumes. If she met a suitable person, she would email the other party to invite him for an interview, and those who passed the interview would be recommended as employees of Rhodes Island.

Occasionally, she would secretly hide certain resumes and mysteriously ask the interviewees whether they wanted to go to another promising company. If the interviewees were skeptical, she would pretend to be joking and start the normal process. But many people had an inexplicable trust in her, and as long as she specifically asked them, most of them became part of Qingmiao Technology.

The afternoon was her leisure time. On days when she didn't need to go to Rhodes Island for testing, she would go to accompany Platinum, or go to the Guards Bureau to play chess with Xingxiong, or go to Penguin Logistics to do a thrilling odd job.

She helped the Guards deal with four robberies and one murder case, and became more and more familiar with several police officers in the Guards. When she pointed out that a suspicious element had been found in the East District, she received unanimous attention.

With Platinum as an insider, White Wolf has become a detective in the eyes of the Guards. Relying on her "keen thinking and strong intuition", she has repeatedly discovered clues of suspicious elements and helped the Guards destroy the "unknown armed groups" under construction time and time again.

As a result, she became more and more familiar with the people in the Imperial Guard Bureau, and recommended Shi Huaiya, Xingxiong, Xiao and others as cooperative operators to go to Rhodes Island for exchanges.

Unexpected things happen in life. When White Wolf was feeling proud of his great achievements in the Guards Bureau, bad news suddenly came.

It was a gloomy morning. When Bai Lang finished washing up and sat down to eat breakfast, she heard a knock on the door. This was a very unusual thing because no one had ever disturbed her in the morning because she liked to sleep in.

She opened the door and saw Bai Jin standing outside. At this moment, Miss Kuranta had lost her usual lazy demeanor, and her pale face was filled with endless sorrow and sadness.

She pulled Bai Jin into the room, closed the door, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is your organization taking action again? Don't worry, it only took us half an hour to destroy a stronghold yesterday. We are becoming more and more skilled."

"No." Bai Jin looked at the person in front of him sadly.

"Uh." White Wolf was stunned for a moment, and looked at him to ask what was going on.

"They felt that it was too difficult to expand their business in Longmen, so," Bai Jin sighed with a complicated expression, "so they decided to give up."

"You're giving up just like that? I still..." Bai Lang stopped talking. She realized that she had been working too hard with the Guards Bureau recently.

"Well, they gave up decisively."

"Well, wouldn't this save us a lot of trouble?"

"It's less trouble, but they also issued a transfer order, asking me to return to Casimir. This time it was a direct message from the Grand Knight, and I can't pretend I didn't hear it." Bai Jin lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, and said sullenly.

White Wolf sensed the seriousness of the situation. She sat next to her partner and tried to give some advice: "You are injured and can't go back."

"I've used this excuse many times."

"Uh, well, you've been caught by the Guards, and you haven't gotten away yet."

"No, if the Platinum Leader is captured, the organization will worry about the secrets being leaked and will do something terrible."

White Wolf rubbed his temples in distress, and suddenly thought of a brilliant idea: "You don't have to go anywhere, I want to see how they..."

Before she could finish her words, her mouth was covered by a slender hand, and she lost her balance and fell down due to the force of the hand.

Bai Jin propped himself up with his left arm, looked at Miss White Wolf, who was lying there with her mouth covered and a confused look on her face, and smiled, "I was just kidding you. Actually, I am planning to go back too. I have been out for so long that I am beginning to miss Casimir."

"But didn't you say it was boring there?" White Wolf asked vaguely.

"I'm kidding. No matter how boring it is, it's still my hometown. People like their hometown, don't they?"

"Oh." Bai Lang felt a hint of insincerity in Bai Jin's words. She suddenly felt sad, but she still forced a smile on her face and joined in the joke, "I understand. Is this the legendary return of fallen leaves to their roots?"

"Yes." Bai Jin smiled sweetly. She looked at Bai Lang gently, her eyes seemed filled with beautiful memories of her hometown.

"What if one day I go to Casimir to take a look? I heard there is a famous athletic competition there, but I have never seen it." White Wolf suddenly asked.

"Don't watch it, it's boring. It's just two people fighting each other, and there are a lot of people outside placing bets. It's noisy and disgusting. You will definitely hate it."

Bai Lang imagined a place similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum, surrounded by densely packed spectators, staring at her with all kinds of eyes. She couldn't help but shudder: "Well, I listen to you. I definitely can't stand that kind of atmosphere."

Bai Jin chuckled, then looked at his phone and suddenly said, "Then I'll leave first. We'll see each other when there's a chance."

"Ah? Now, now?" White Wolf asked in surprise and doubt.

"Of course, the Wuzhou League never procrastinates."

After Bai Jin finished speaking, she stood up without hesitation, walked to the door, waved goodbye with her back, and her white figure quickly disappeared.

Bai Lang sat there alone. She couldn't recover from this sudden incident yet.

Why, why did he leave without any warning? She thought of what Bai Jin had done for her, and the last words he said to her and those insincere moments. Her heart felt like it was pricked by a needle. She walked out of the room and saw only an empty corridor. She looked out the window and saw the deserted avenue in winter. Bai Jin was indeed gone.

After that, she continued to live a life similar to the past, processing resumes, delivering goods with Penguin Logistics, and assisting the Guard Bureau in handling cases... but the time she spent in Lungmen was much less than before.
