When she was helping out at the Longmen Guards, she had helped seize this kind of expensive Minoan watch and was familiar with its price. A new watch usually costs around 100,000 Longmen coins, which was equivalent to two months' salary for her now.
She tossed the watch into the air a few times and had no intention of returning it. Since the bag was "hers", she could naturally deal with the contents. Although this watch was expensive, it was a standard product. She could just find a pawn shop to sell it, and there was no need to look for anything on the black market.
There was another thing in the bag, a paper business card. White Wolf took it out and looked at it.
The person on the business card was the young Rupert who had just caused trouble. He was a student of the Fine Arts Department of Victoria National University. This thing was of no use to her. After reading it, she rubbed a ball of red flame and burned the business card instantly, then threw it into the trash can along with the bag.
The campus area of Victoria National University is comparable to that of a small town. It is not easy to find the location of the Originium Research Institute. White Wolf has no shortage of time now, so he patiently compares the campus map and slowly walks inside along the school district building covered with green plants.
Soon, her ears caught the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. She turned her head and saw a pretty film girl wearing a light pink plaid shirt and a white coat.
Bai Lang didn't care and just thought it was a coincidence that she met someone traveling with her. After walking for a while, she began to feel something was wrong. The other person was always hanging not far behind her. When she was fast, he was also fast, and when she was slow, he was also slow, like a shadow.
If the person following behind her was the annoying young Rupert, she would have to teach him a lesson, but facing this pretty Filin girl, she had no temper at all except for curiosity.
She planned to find an opportunity to communicate with the other party.
When the White Wolf thought of this, he suddenly stopped and turned to greet the red-haired girl, "Hello, do you know how to get to the Originium Research Institute?"
"what!"
As soon as the White Wolf opened his mouth, Miss Filin screamed, covered her face and ran away.
???
what on earth is this kind of happenings?
Miss White Wolf scratched her head and stood there in confusion. After a while, she began to reflect carefully. Suddenly, she felt that things were a little strange and a little scary, so she quickened her pace and walked towards the crowded place.
Ina, who was hiding behind the rockery, finally recovered from her blushing face and ran out in a hurry to look for Miss Rupert, but at this time she could not find any trace of her.
She felt so upset when she thought about deserting the battlefield that she almost cried. Suddenly, she remembered that the other party had asked about the Originium Research Institute.
Isn't that where she goes to school?
Will Senior Tianhuo know something?
Volume 4: Chapter 73: The King's Staff
The more Aina thought about it, the more she felt that her consideration was correct. After graduating with a double degree in geology and Originium geology two years ago, Senior Tianhuo first became a member of the "Staff of Kings", and later assisted her mentor in overcoming several research problems. She has almost become a legendary figure in their Originium Research Academy.
People from other colleges might not know the names of the tutors in their department, but almost everyone had heard of Tianhuo's name, and he would definitely be able to help her find out about Miss Rupert.
The more Ina thought about it, the more excited she became. She picked up her phone and called her tutor.
"Hey, instructor, I won't do the experiment today. I have more important things to do."
"What's the matter? Xiaona, come here first, let's discuss it, okay?" an old voice said nervously.
"Teacher, this is really, really important. Please do the experiment yourself. The final result will definitely be that the critical temperature is exceeded and the experimental material becomes superconducting, so we will observe abnormal energy loss."
"Have you done this in advance?"
"No." Aina stuck out her tongue and said quickly, "I guessed. Goodbye, mentor."
"How did you guess that? Hello, hello?"
The white-bearded old man on the other end of the phone looked at the hung up communicator in his hand and sighed helplessly.
There was another student sitting next to him, but the other person not only did not understand him, but was actually covering his mouth and laughing. He blew his beard and said dissatisfiedly: "How dare you laugh? It gives me a headache. Look at how easy other students are. You are fine, but Aina is really outrageous every day..."
"You are actually secretly happy." Ceylon smiled and exposed the mentor in front of him, "Others may not know, but you are not clear? Aina has long been the most outstanding student in the Originium Research Department. If she puts a little more effort into summarizing her research results and publishes a paper, your door will be broken."
“Hehe, not really, not really.” The white-bearded old man adjusted the monocle on his left eye, and all the wrinkles on his face were smiling.
Seeing that her tutor was in a good mood, Ceylon wanted to take the opportunity to mention something she had thought of a long time ago, but when the words came to her lips, she hesitated.
Will the tutor have other arrangements?
"Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to be cautious between us." The white-bearded old man said with his eyes narrowed.
"Oh, okay, okay." Ceylon lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Teacher, how about letting Aina go to Xiosta when we graduate in May? The conditions there are good, her father supports scientific research, and I will do my best to take care of her."
However, Ceylon found that after she opened her mouth, her mentor's mood seemed to drop. She felt a pang in her heart, thinking it was due to what she had said, and felt a little sad.
She forced a smile and explained in a low voice: "I was just talking casually. You must want Aina to go to a top scientific research institution like Rhine Life, where she can fully display her abilities. We Xiosta will definitely not be able to compete with her."
"That's not the case, Ceylon." The old man smiled slightly. "Aina's personality is not suitable for Rhine Life. If you want to persuade her to go to Xiosta, you should mention it earlier. Otherwise, she might join Foxtail. You know, the 'Staff of the King' has been eyeing her for a long time, and Tianhuo has a good relationship with her. You have to act first."
(PS: Foxtail is the Victorian Folk Originium Art Research Association, and the King's Staff is its core group)
Xilan couldn't help laughing and said, "But teacher, isn't Senior Tianhuo also your student? You let me make the first move. How come you're acting like Senior Tianhuo is an outsider?"
"Oh, I have a lot of things to consider. You have a steady personality, so I feel more at ease letting Aina be with you. If I let her follow Tianhuo, who knows what will happen." The old man said with a headache.
"Yeah, I'll try my best." Ceylon nodded happily, and then asked curiously, "Teacher, I saw that you seemed a little unhappy just now."
"Nothing, you are just too careful and like to think too much." The old man replied. He stood up, walked to the window to look at the willow tree outside, and asked casually, "Ceylon, what day is it today?"
"April 6th, Master."
There is only a little over a month left, the old man thought. He was suddenly filled with sorrow and whispered to himself, "I will not teach students in the future."
"Were you talking about students just now?" Ceylon asked puzzledly.
"Yeah." The old man replied with a smile, "I was wondering if your future juniors and seniors could give me some peace of mind."
……
After hanging up the phone, Aina left the campus immediately and rushed to Tianhuo's small base.
The so-called "base" is the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment that Tianhuo rented outside the college after graduation. So far, three people have lived in it. In addition to Tianhuo, the other two are Aina and Bo Lu.
Aina was the second person invited to live here after she met Tianhuo. Bo Lu, who was a grade lower than Aina, was discovered by Tianhuo while working part-time and then moved in.
"Tianhuo, Tianhuo, I want to ask you about someone?" Miss Ina shouted excitedly as she entered the room.
"Don't panic. Who is it? Tell me slowly." Tianhuo was drawing his eyebrows in front of the mirror. Upon hearing this, he kept moving his hands and spoke without changing his expression.
"A Rupert girl." Ina blushed and described with her hands dancing, "Super, super beautiful."
Tianhuo put down his eyebrow pencil and pointed at himself: "Better than me?"
"She is prettier than Sister Tianhuo." Aina blurted out, "Oh, Sister Tianhuo, don't be angry, what I said is true, I am not lying to you, she is very, very beautiful."
Although Tian Huo knew his junior sister's temper very well, he still felt a little upset after hearing this, so he deliberately said, "You saw your classmate Xilan before, and he said the same thing after he came back."
"Hmm~ This time is different, Sister Tianhuo, it's really different, huh, I think I'm going to die." Aina jumped onto the bed, her face flushed, and she rolled around happily hugging the pillow, murmuring incoherently, "Her eyes, nose, and mouth are so cute, I miss her so much, woooo..."
At this time, Bo Lu had just returned from school, and as soon as she entered the room, she was immediately frightened by the scene.
She stared at Aina for a while, then looked at Tianhuo who was calm beside her, and asked with a little fear: "Sister Tianhuo, what happened to Senior Aina? She seems to be in pain. Is she sick?"
"Ignore her." Tianhuo pretended to be nonchalant and said, "She is obsessed with sex."
In fact, Tianhuo was also quite nervous. This time, Aina's condition was obviously more serious than before. When Ceylon came, the other party just boasted that he had a beautiful classmate, and there was no such a big reaction.
It seems that I need to find a psychiatrist to see Ina, she thought secretly.
Volume 4: Chapter 74 Victorian Style
Bo Lu was a very curious film girl. After hearing what Senior Tian Huo said, she immediately asked according to her own understanding: "Is being obsessed with flowers a disease? Is it difficult to cure?"
Tianhuo held his forehead with his hand and complained: "It's a terminal illness. Your sister Aina is beyond help."
"Ah!? So pitiful." In front of her closest senior schoolmate, Bo Lu had no doubts and tears soon filled the corners of her eyes.
Tianhuo looked at the tearful cat head beside her, then at the crazy girl rolling on the bed, and suddenly felt exhausted. How could she have ended up with these two school sisters, one crazy and the other stupid.
She is so difficult.
Not to mention how she explained to Bo Lu what a flower maniac was, or how she patiently persuaded Aina to explain her situation. When Tian Huo understood the whole story, Bai Lang had already completed his first inspection of Victoria National University and left the school contentedly.
She did not find the Originium Research Institute today, but she accidentally came across a place called the Student Employment Center, from which she learned a lot of important information.
First of all, the normal social recruitment time of Victoria National University starts on May 1st, but there are exceptions. As long as you provide relevant documents to the school and pass the qualification review, campus recruitment can be carried out one month in advance.
However, the school also has its own rules. Although it allows companies to recruit in advance, in order not to disturb students' normal studies, the school will not help with any publicity. It also prohibits recruiters from doing anything that actively interferes with students, not even handing out flyers.
In other words, she could only apply for an empty classroom as a recruitment point, and then stay in it alone, waiting for someone to see the only recruitment poster at the classroom door, like a person waiting for a rabbit to come to her.
In addition, the school has many inconspicuous rules and regulations, such as:
Those who apply for recruitment in advance must pay expensive venue fees on a daily basis based on the situation of the selected classroom; the maximum time they occupy the classroom cannot exceed one week; after early recruitment, no matter what the result is, they can no longer participate in the formal recruitment meeting in May, etc.
The reason why she was able to know so much information this time was thanks to the helpful person in charge of the employment center, but the other party was too enthusiastic. After helping people, he took the initiative to invite them to dinner. Miss Bailang was not the kind of shameless person, so of course she had to solemnly decline. She even considered giving the other party Longmen coins as a reward, but then she felt that this was an insult to other people's noble sentiments, so she just thought about it in her heart and gave up.
After leaving the campus, Bai Lang walked alone on the dimly lit sidewalk, silently thinking about the large amount of information she had obtained. She suddenly felt that this recruitment work actually had many traps. If she hadn't met an enthusiastic person, she would definitely have been cheated badly.
This result made her suspicious of the Marquis. He seemed to be very familiar with Victoria's student recruitment, but why didn't he tell her this information? Was it an oversight?
That should be the case, she thought. The Marquis has been very busy and probably doesn't take these things seriously.
In any case, we have obtained a lot of intelligence today. Once we arrive at the Rhodes Island base tomorrow and find a local to help, the operation will only go more smoothly.
She reflected on her "wise decision" and felt more and more proud. There happened to be a park by the lake not far away, so she walked over for a walk with great interest.
There was a breeze blowing across the lake, softly, gently swaying the willow trees under the night sky, and her heart swayed comfortably as well.
The wind in this academic capital was not chilly at all. It felt like a veil blowing across her face, making her feel itchy. She couldn't help but think of the harsh wind on the Ursus tundra. The difference between the two was as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.
In addition to the environment, there is another element here that is completely different from other places. This is something she has never seen in Colombia, Longmen, or Ursus.
There were many people enjoying the night view by the lake, but almost everyone was accompanied by a partner, and only a few were alone like her.
She felt a little uncomfortable, so she tried not to look at others, but the less she tried, the more she found herself being affected. No matter where she looked, she seemed to find young lovers holding hands, leaning against each other, or whispering to each other without paying attention to the people around them.
Bai Lang didn't want to stay in the park anymore. She couldn't stand the situation of dog food everywhere, so she lowered her head and hurried out.
As she passed the corner of the park, she suddenly heard some commotion in the shadows and could not help but take a look. Rupert's eyes were very good at night and she saw clearly what was happening in the corner.
If she were given another chance, she swore that she would never have any unnecessary curiosity, but since she saw it, she could only silently marvel at the deep friendship between the male actors.
Victoria, it seems, is quite open in some ways.
The next day, White Wolf got up early to plan her departure from the city, preparing to take a long-distance bus to Hill County. However, she was told that all direct buses had been suspended due to martial law in Londinium. She could only transfer back and forth between several transportation hubs, and it took her a lot of effort to reach the Hill County headquarters in Rhode Island before dark.
Just as she expected, the Hill County Office continued Rhode Island's usual low-key style. On the surface, it looked no different from other nearby buildings, with only the words "Rhode Island Hill County Office" written on the sign in front of the door.
This situation is similar to the Iron City Office in Columbia.
As she was thinking, as she walked into the station, the girl Vaifan on duty at the door gestured for her to stop, then ran over to ask the purpose of her visit.
As agreed with Kal'tsit, White Wolf introduced herself as a partner of Rhodes Island and said that she had recently come to Victoria to recruit researchers and therefore hoped to get assistance. While talking, she noticed that this Vaifan girl had very beautiful hair and a slim figure. She was very happy to talk to a girl who looked so pleasant.
When the attendant heard her say this, he suddenly realized and asked, "Are you Miss Olicia?"
"Well, has Kal'tsit informed you?" asked White Wolf.
Miss Vaifan shook her head, her long golden hair swaying slightly. “Ms. Outcast told us yesterday. I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon.”
"No need to address you," White Wolf reminded him. "Rhodes Island and I are close collaborators and we are very familiar with each other. Just call me by my name."
"Oh, is that so? But Ms. Outcast said you are an Ursus noble."
"What is the difference between nobles and ordinary people?" White Wolf said with a smile.
Miss Vaifan opened her eyes wide, looked at the white wolf curiously, and then a friendly smile appeared on her face. She said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Jenny. I have a small request. Can you call me Qin Liu?"
White Wolf was slightly curious, but it was inconvenient to ask, so he nodded and said, "Of course."
Volume 4: Chapter 75: The Rebels
Outcast, the person in charge of the Hill County station, is a mature and steady Sakata lady who is humble and friendly. And since Bailang happens to know Frank and Ace, the other party's old acquaintances, the few of them have a great time chatting.
Outcast knew White Wolf's purpose. Since she herself had to carry out a mission in the Victoria area and could not squeeze out time to help, she assigned two other operators and hoped that they would assist in the recruitment work in the form of mission commission.
The two assistants are Qin Liu and Oliver.
Qin Liu is the girl from Vaifan who was on duty outside before. She was originally a flag bearer in the army. Now she has joined Rhodes Island in name only. She has not yet completed all the entry procedures and is considered a non-staff member of Rhodes Island. The reason Outcast assigned her is that she once studied at the Victoria Royal Guard Academy for a period of time and is familiar with the situation of college students.
Oliver is different. He is from Victoria and also an old man in Rhode Island. He is steady and reliable. The last time Rhode Island wanted to establish a base in Victoria, he applied to be transferred from the headquarters to here and has been working here ever since.
Bai Lang was naturally relieved to have these two locals to help him. The next step was to negotiate the remuneration. After some hesitation, the two sides finally reached a verbal agreement:
White Wolf needs to pay a total of 5,000 Lungmen coins as commission to Rhodes Island and cover all food and lodging expenses for Qin Liu and Oliver during their stay in Londinium. In return, Rhodes Island will provide recruitment assistance and a certain degree of security services.
The next morning, after the group had breakfast, Oliver went to the hood and pulled out an off-road vehicle as a means of transportation. White Wolf walked around the car to observe it, then opened the door of the back seat and bent down to get in.
The style of this off-road vehicle is exactly the same as that of the Rhodes Island ship. The only difference is the exterior paint. The exterior of the ship's vehicle is bright black, a bit like the style of the Longmen Mafia, while Victoria's is gun gray and looks more refined.
Operator Oliver was a serious man. When he saw Bailang get on the car, he nodded to her and then waited quietly for Qin Liu to run over with a small suitcase.
