Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

Several company executives on the second floor were standing in the corridor chatting. When they saw the staff leading Bai Lang and others upstairs, they all fell silent and just smiled.

Bai Lang and the others went up to the third floor and only then could they vaguely hear their conversation.

'A new company has come'

'Do you think you can stay for seven days?'

'I think it's uncertain'

The staff member was not affected by the others at all and said in a businesslike tone: "There is no elevator in this building. Generally speaking, the higher the floor, the fewer people go there. There are still many vacancies on the third floor. You can take a look here and pick one."

White Wolf glanced at the time, wandered around for a while, walked over, shook his head, and said, "No, not the third floor, let's go to the fifth floor."

"Fifth floor? Few people go up there." The staff member asked in confusion, "Why don't you think about it carefully?"

"I want the fifth floor." White Wolf remained unmoved.

"Okay then." Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, the staff had to nod in agreement.

After a brief selection, Bai Lang got the key to a classroom on the fifth floor, and the staff left after completing the task.

"Olicia." Qin Liu asked quietly as soon as the staff left, "Why did we choose this floor? It doesn't feel good."

Bai Lang took out his cell phone and shook it: "Look at the time now."

"One o'clock in the afternoon. Ah, we should go to lunch."

"Even during the lunch break, the building is deserted. It's obvious that sitting in the classroom and waiting for people to come over is absolutely not feasible. There's not much point in choosing a lower floor. It's better to be quieter here." White Wolf pointed to the pond outside the window and continued, "Besides, the view here is pretty good, and it's also nice to enjoy the scenery."

Qin Liu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth, so he smiled and said, "You are the leader, you have the final say."

Oliver reminded: "No matter what, the basic form of recruitment still needs to be there."

"That's right." Bai Lang nodded, "That's what I thought. In the afternoon, we will simply decorate the place. Oliver will be responsible for setting up the tables and cleaning; Qin Liu will be responsible for finding someone to make posters and purchasing items; I will go to the campus to inquire about Miss Ke Lan and see if I can get in touch with her."

"Ok, ok, then let's go eat now. Only when you are full will you have the energy to work." Qin Liu said with a smile.

Several people went to the school cafeteria together.

……

In the apartment rented by Miss Tianhuo, Aina was lying on the bed, reading a fashion magazine attentively, her tail swinging unconsciously, and Bo Lu gently pushed the door open.

"Xiao Boyu, is there any latest news?" Ina judged the identity of the person from the footsteps and asked lazily.

"Still no." Bo Lu put down the book he was holding, shook his head, and then opened the refrigerator to get ice cream. "Senior Aina, do you want ice cream?"

"Give me one, strawberry." Ina closed the book and sat up from the bed.

"Hmm." Bo Lu picked a strawberry flavor and handed it over. She sat on the stool and licked the matcha flavor. As she licked, she suddenly asked in a bad mood, "Sister Aina, why did you have to find that person? Sister Tianhuo scolded you for this before, saying that you..."

"Tsk, ignore her. She doesn't understand at all. I am more knowledgeable in this area."

"But, but, she is a girl. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out."

"I know you don't understand. Come here and I will tell you some truths that you can't learn from books." Ina licked the ice cream clean with her tongue and said seriously.

"Oh." Bo Lu quickly moved a small stool and sat over.

"What I'm going to say next is all based on my experience. You are not allowed to tell anyone, especially Sister Tianhuo."

"Yeah, Bo Lu won't tell anyone."

Aina's expression gradually became serious. "When your sister Aina was in middle school, she met a teacher from Yan Country. You know, people are very curious about places like Yan Country. I tried every means to build a good relationship with her. Later, when she wasn't paying attention, I borrowed two books that she had hidden under her pillow."

"Borrow it while she's not paying attention?"

"Don't worry about the details. I had always intended to return it, but the teacher suddenly returned to Yan Country, so the book ended up with me."

"Hmm, can Sister Aina understand Yanguo's book?"

"You underestimate me. Apart from anything else, your sister Aina is very smart. I looked through various dictionaries and finally interpreted the contents of the book. They are really wise sayings. I think they must have been said by the saints of Yan Country. The teacher is narrow-minded and deliberately hid it under the pillow for fear that others would learn it."

"What's written in the book?" Bo Lu clenched his fists excitedly.

"What do you mean? They say that nature created yin and yang, so men and women are divided. They also say that women are good, that they are the best of nature. And they also say that men are 'dumb things'. Yes, they are dumb things."

"What is the dirty stuff?" Bo Lu asked carefully.

"It's easy to understand. Look at the two characters 须眉, which have beard and eyebrows, so they refer to men. I looked up the word 污物, and it's used as an insult in Yan Country. That shows that the saint of Yan Country thinks this way."

“What is a saint?”

"It's similar to our Heroic Spirits."

"But when you said sage just now, didn't you mean that sages are also men? Then is the sage scolding himself?"

Aina was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red. She said anxiously, "Heroic spirit, saint, heroic spirit! Do you understand? The words of these great men are very complicated to understand. Oh, Xiao Bolu, if you keep arguing, I won't talk to you anymore."

Volume 4: Chapter 84 Assessment Task

Tianhuo spent the whole morning finishing today's research work and felt relaxed both physically and mentally. She hummed happily, bought fruit pudding for the two little ones in her family on the street, and then returned to her residence leisurely.

When she reached the door, she was about to call for someone to open it as usual, but the faint voices from inside the door attracted her attention. She seemed to have heard some strange words, so she stopped where she was and listened carefully at the door.

It would have been better if he didn't listen. Once he figured out that it was Ina who was making a long speech with a strange stance, Tianhuo's good mood ended instantly.

She angrily took the key to open the door, pushed it open with a bang, and strode in. The two people in the room were startled and immediately stood up, looking at her nervously.

Bo Lu didn't know the situation clearly, so she immediately apologized based on her intuition: "Sister Tianhuo, I was wrong."

"It has nothing to do with you." Tianhuo suppressed his anger and pointed to the next room, "Go to that room first."

"Yeah, okay." Bo Lu ran away as if she had been pardoned. When she reached the door, she turned back and gave Ina a look that told her to wish her the best.

Ina was the only one left in the room.

Tianhuo was going to criticize her harshly, but when he saw her pitiful expression, he softened his heart and said angrily, "Aina, do you know why I'm angry?"

Aina blushed: "I know, I shouldn't have said that to Bo Lu."

"Know? You still know!" Tianhuo was furious again, "Bo Lu is still young and doesn't understand anything. If you tell her these things now, what if you lead her astray?"

But after hearing what she said, Aina's eyes widened and she replied unconvincedly: "You are wrong. Why do you want to lead her astray? I told her this for Bo Lu's own good. If she really wants to be like me, she should also become a better person."

Tianhuo pointed at Aina in disbelief, shaking with anger: "You, you, you can say such a confusing thing..."

Ina did not retreat: "How do you know which is black and which is white? I said that only people in the world can't tell the difference between black and white!"

"Good sisters, stop quarreling!" Bo Lu suddenly ran into the room, hugged Tian Huo, pushed him down on a stool, and handed him an ice cream, "Sister Tian Huo, eat some ice cream to cool down."

She ran to Aina again and handed her a piece of pudding: "Sister Aina, your favorite strawberry pudding."

Aina never had a problem with food. After she had taken two bites, she saw Bo Lu approaching and whispering, "Sister Aina, what you are eating is the strawberry pudding that Sister Tianhuo bought just now for you."

Ina's expression became unnatural.

Bo Lu continued in a low voice: "Sister Tianhuo cares about her reputation, Sister Aina, please give in like you did before and apologize later, okay?"

"Tsk, for the sake of strawberry pudding, okay." Ina nodded. This was more than the first or second time she and Tianhuo had quarreled. Every time, Xiao Bolu came to smooth things over. Both of them liked to use this opportunity to save face.

Bo Lu ran to Tian Huo again and kept saying something in his ear, and saw that Tian Huo's mood became calmer.

After eating the pudding, Aina walked straight to Tianhuo.

"What?" Tianhuo said unhappily, his tone no longer fierce.

"Sister, you must be tired after working today. Let me massage your shoulders." Ina said as she started to work. She had practiced this skill specially, and Tianhuo soon closed his eyes comfortably.

While pinching, Aina said softly, "Sister Tianhuo, it's all my fault. I promise that I will never interfere with Xiao Boyu again."

Tianhuo also said frankly: "I am also wrong. I took things too seriously. How can a few words change a person's mind? I just get impatient easily. Don't be angry."

Bo Lu watched this scene, laughing secretly, and tried to leave quietly, but Tian Huo suddenly called out to him, "Bo Lu, don't leave yet."

& Tianhuo sat up straight on the stool, motioned Aina and Bo Lu to sit down, and then said seriously: "Tomorrow you two will officially go to the disaster area for inspection. How is the safety training going?"

"I took notes on more than ten pages of safety rules." Bo Lu raised his hand and said.

Tianhuo shifted his gaze to Aina, who scratched her head and spoke awkwardly: "I, uh, by the way, Ceylon has already taken the test last year. I will borrow her notes tomorrow. She wrote them in great detail."

"Aina, this is not a matter of a notebook. You are too careless." Tianhuo frowned and said, "As a researcher, the most important thing is to ensure your own safety during the investigation. Accidents can happen at any time in a place like a natural disaster site. Do you understand?"

"I, I understand." Ina said in a low voice with her head down.

……

Inside the Source Stone Research Institute at the Victoria National University.

Ceylon knocked on the office door and asked, "Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"Well, sit anywhere." The old man slowly brewed a pot of black tea and put it on the table.

Ceylon poured a cup for himself and his mentor, and said with a smile, "I can drink more of your black tea. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it in the future."

The old man also smiled and said, "You can learn it yourself. It's very simple."

Ceylon put the cup in front of him, sniffed the tea, and said, "I still have to learn from you. I guess your visit to me this time must be related to tomorrow's assessment, but you don't have to worry too much about Aina. She is better than me at sampling and analysis. The people from the Guard Academy will also take care of the security issues. She will definitely pass it smoothly."

"I never worry whether she can pass it." The old man said with a worried look on his face, "You also saw the quarrel between us. She didn't listen to me. I still need you to explain it to her more."

Speaking of quarrels, a scene from the past came to Ceylon's mind. That was probably the only quarrel between Ina and her mentor. It was at this time last year when the mentor was giving her and Ina safety training on natural disaster site inspections.

Aina immediately doubted the various safety regulations, believing that if researchers only cared about their own safety and were unwilling to take risks, it would be impossible to obtain effective research data. This was certainly true, but the assessment at the natural disaster site was extremely dangerous. Even with the protection of the Royal Guard Academy and sophisticated protective equipment, every year there would be students killed by mutant infected creatures or infected with mineral disease due to the influence of Originium dust. The instructor hoped that they could return safely, so he would naturally emphasize safety issues.

But Aina was stubborn about some things, and the two had an unprecedented quarrel, which ended with Aina being banned from participating in the natural disaster site inspection last year. The natural disaster site inspection was a hard indicator for the school to assess students majoring in Originium. Only by passing it could they graduate smoothly. As a graduate this year, Aina had to participate in this assessment, which was also what the instructor had been worried about.

Xilan took a sip of black tea and said calmly: "Teacher, don't worry. In fact, before you came to me, I was planning to talk to her about the precautions at the natural disaster site."

The old man said helplessly: "I'm afraid she will hide in Tianhuo and won't listen to you."

"Then I'll follow her." Xilan said with a smile, "Wherever she is, I'll be there. I'll pester her, and I'm not afraid that she won't listen."

After Ceylon left, the old man looked out the window at the students' figures and sighed.

Others only know that researchers from the National University of Victoria are sought after by the whole of Terra, but they are unaware of how many young lives have been cut short in laboratories and research sites.

He increasingly felt that the research on Originium was like a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

Volume 4: Chapter 85: Change of Plan

Miss White Wolf's work this afternoon was not going well.

First, let's talk about Miss Ke Lan. After her hard search, she only heard that there was such a person in the music department, and he was a cute boy. Obviously, he couldn't be the one Miss Lin mentioned.

At this point, she had already guessed that she might have remembered the name wrong, but in this situation, she could only regret it secretly in her heart.

The second thing is important information from the Originium Research Institute. Starting tomorrow, more than half of the students in the department will participate in a week-long investigation of the natural disaster area. Participants from the graduating class account for 60% to 80%. The investigation site is in the deep mountains more than 100 kilometers away.

This information was like a bolt of thunder in a clear sky, catching her off guard. She only had one week to recruit people, but she happened to encounter something like this. There was no point in recruiting at all.

She walked back feeling self-pitying, regretting that she had not asked more questions earlier, and then thinking about how to talk to Qin Liu and the others.

As she walked, she thought about how she had traveled thousands of miles from Ursus to Victoria, done the work and spent the money, but the person she wanted to find was gone. It was really a complete failure.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt completely hopeless and overwhelmed with grief. I stumbled along without even paying attention to the road ahead. I accidentally bumped into someone and knocked myself down.

Ceylon watched Miss Rupert bump into her. At that time, she was carrying her carefully prepared courseware and was planning to go to Miss Tianhuo's apartment to find Ina. She accidentally found the distraught Miss Rupert by the pond.

She felt curious and was about to go closer to ask, but she saw the other person stagger, bump into her at an angle, and then fall to the ground.

Ceylon quickly put the book on the ground and walked over to help the other person up.

However, the fallen Miss Rupert had no intention of asking for help. She just got up by herself, patted her clothes, looked at her in despair, and continued to walk forward in a daze, with no intention of dealing with outsiders at all.

Maybe he encountered some sad things, Ceylon thought, or it might be a relationship problem. Every year, there are students who jump into the small pond next to him and try to commit suicide because of relationship problems.

She watched Miss Rupert walk across the pond and found that she had no intention of committing suicide, so she felt relieved and went about her own business.

On the fifth floor of the recruitment building, Oliver and Qin Liu were posting posters at the door, and Bai Lang walked over dejectedly.

Qin Liu glanced at Bai Lang's face, and her heart skipped a beat. She guessed that the other party hadn't found the person, so she left Oliver alone to post the things, and ran to Bai Lang and comforted him, "What's wrong? Didn't you find Ke Lan? It doesn't matter, we can think of other ways."

Bai Lang knew that he was the backbone of the team at this time and could not appear too pessimistic, so he tried his best to adjust his mood, but his words were inevitably melancholy: "Alas, not only did I not find Ke Lan, I also heard very bad news."

At this time, Oliver also came over with his things put on, and White Wolf told him the bad news he had heard.

"I see. It's already difficult for us to recruit people. If most of the graduates of the Originium Research Academy go for field research, things will be really troublesome." Oliver concluded thoughtfully.

"There's a reason why those big companies waited until May. I thought I had found out everything, but I didn't expect this to happen." White Wolf sighed again.

Qin Liu saw that the situation was not going well, so he quickly patted Bai Lang on the shoulder and encouraged him. "Don't be discouraged, think about it again, there will definitely be a way."
