Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

White Wolf gave the other party a suggestion: "You know the Rhodes Island base in Columbia, the one in Iron City. I think they are a little short-handed. You are a local and have good Originium skills. When the limelight is over, you can change your appearance and look for opportunities. Maybe you can get more medical resources for your sister."

"Yeah, yeah, thank you, I'll try."

When they arrived at the village entrance, the white wolf signaled to Duanjiao that he could go back.

"Well, don't you want to take some of the potion away?" Duanjiao said awkwardly.

"Do you really not understand or are you playing dumb with me? Your sister's condition cannot be separated from those potions!"

"But, but, you have done so much..."

"No buts, the mission failed! We have never seen any potions, and Hyde Company employee Duanjiao died accidentally in the battle with the bounty hunter."

Bai Lang grabbed Miss Bai Jin's hand, stopped looking at Broken Horn's gradually red eyes, and turned away.

Broken Horn is a lucky man. There are countless infected people in this world struggling in the darkness and despair, unable to wait for the dawn of tomorrow.

Volume 1: Chapter 26 Return

The two of them didn't walk very far, only about ten minutes.

Bai Lang felt something was wrong. She was only concerned about being a good person and didn't even ask for Bai Jin's opinion.

She began to feel uneasy, and this uneasiness was magnified as time passed, until it finally became unbearable.

"Shirokin, I'm sorry. I took the initiative and didn't ask you what you thought."

"My idea? Oh, that's okay. I support your approach."

Bai Lang's eyes lit up: "In other words, if it were you, would you make the same decision as me?"

"No, based on my behavior, I might make some terrible decisions."

"I don't understand. Didn't you say you supported me?"

"These are two different things." Miss Bai Jin stopped and said with a smile, "It is precisely because I can't do this that you..."

"What?"

Bai Jin didn't answer. She moved closer to Bai Lang and gently touched his cheek with her fingers.

"You, what are you doing?" Miss White Wolf blushed uneasily.

"You are injured and look very bad."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal."

"I failed to protect you."

After saying this, not only Bai Lang, but Miss Bai Jin was also stunned. She didn't know why she blurted out such words.

Bai Lang blushed and said incoherently: "No, that's not necessary. Thank you, thank you, Miss Bai Jin, you really helped me a lot."

Then, a strange silence fell between the two of them, and no one spoke, and it lasted until they returned to the Iron City.

The two first went to the Rhode Island base to report their work. The mission naturally ended in failure. Frank did not care about the result. Instead, he felt guilty about White Wolf's injury and hurriedly asked the medical staff to take White Wolf for treatment.

In the infirmary of Rhodes Island, White Wolf witnessed the medical Originium technique for the first time.

The Rhodes Island operator who treated her was named Furong. A gentle green light emanated from her hands and floated over her injured arm and wrist. After just a few minutes, her injuries were healed without leaving any trace.

Miss Furong helped prepare another dose of medicine, watched Bailang take it, and then told Bailang to go back early and have a good rest.

Miss White Wolf agreed with the doctor's advice. After her injuries healed, she immediately felt intense sleepiness coming over her. If she held on any longer, she might even fall asleep while standing.

So she sent a message to Platinum on her cell phone, then left the Rhodes Island office and went straight back to the hotel to rest.

……

As a result of overwork and physical injuries, White Wolf slept from two o'clock in the afternoon until nine o'clock the next morning.

When the pale sunlight of early winter shone into the house, the white wolf, who was sleeping soundly, woke up with hunger.

She didn't know if it was because she slept too long or because of the medicine she took from Dr. Furong, but she felt sticky all over, even though she had just washed before going to bed yesterday.

She suppressed the hunger in her stomach, opened the bathroom door and locked herself in.

It was very windy in Cast Iron City today. Through the bathroom window, White Wolf could see the dead trees outside creaking in the strong wind. They must be very cold. This contrast gave her a wonderful sense of satisfaction as she took a hot bath.

It's like the pleasure is doubled.

However, her good mood did not last long. Inadvertently, she noticed that the Originium crystal on her thigh seemed to have expanded several times larger than before!

Bailang was very clear that he was a mildly infected person. The last time he checked, which was when he just arrived at Cast Iron City, the Originium crystal was only the size of a mung bean, but now it is about the size of a fingernail.

During this period, the only thing she had done that might have aggravated her Originium disease was that special Originium technique.

According to Miss Yatli, excessive use of Originium techniques would aggravate the condition, and she had drained out all of her Originium energy at once, and was basically only able to survive by overdrawing her body, which fits the description of overdose.

The safest way would be to abandon that power, but White Wolf knew she couldn't do that. Chaos and danger were the norm on Terra, and she couldn't guarantee that she would never encounter a difficult enemy.

Then try to use it as little as possible, and treat this Originium skill as your last trump card. Give it a name first.

The Fire of Yatli?

Not good, sounds a bit weird.

Alien fire?

No, no, this is too embarrassing.

Well, the flame comes from Yatli, and Yatli is Drak, which means dragon clan, so it’s called Dragon Flame?

It still feels weird. Ah, so annoying. Just call it whatever you want. Anyway, I don’t need to say the name before making a move.

By the way, this Originium skill was created by imitating the flame of Ateli. If I can access other higher-level elemental powers, can I also use them to imitate them? For example, I can use ordinary electric source energy to imitate the power of thunder...

The power of thunder?

Miss White Wolf covered her face in frustration. Why did she come up with such a childish name?

She thought about it for a while and felt that things would not be as simple as she thought. The reason why she was able to come into contact with Yatli's flame was because the other party actively cooperated and had no intention of hurting her. If she encountered it in a battle, a "dragon flame" would burn her to ashes.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Bai Lang continued his previous thoughts and checked his weapons.

This time, the weapon was only slightly damaged. It seemed that the old blacksmith in the town did not deceive her. This sword was indeed a good thing. It could at least support her in carrying out dozens of tasks like the one the day before yesterday.

She had used up all the ammunition in her gun when she was escaping, so Bai Lang was not keen on finding ammunition.

Because this old-fashioned gun is actually not easy to use. You have to reload the bullet every time you fire a shot, which is really troublesome.

The last battle had exposed its shortcomings. Although it was very useful against a single enemy, its effect was minimal when there were many enemies. If the gun in her hand at that time was the type that could fire continuously, she would definitely not have been forced into such a miserable state by those bounty hunters.

But White Wolf couldn't bear to throw it away directly. After all, this was Lateran's "black technology", so he might as well keep it as a collection.

After checking the equipment, White Wolf finally remembered that he was still hungry.

It's time to go out and buy food.

She opened the door a crack, and the howling cold wind immediately rushed in impatiently. The white wolf shivered and closed the door again.

She had just finished a hot shower and her body was extremely sensitive to the cold, so she didn't want to go out.

Fortunately, the hotel has special services for this type of guests.

Bailang quickly found a card titled "Special Services" on the bedside table. The card listed various services, such as room delivery service, wake-up service, travel service, etc., and each item was followed by a phone number.

Why is it called a special service? Is there something unusual?

Bailang turned the card over and over for a while, but didn't find anything unusual, so he directly dialed the food delivery number on it.

After dinner, she lay on the bed doing nothing, and suddenly thought of Miss Platinum.

What is the other person doing now? Is he sleeping in bed like me? It's really boring.

Otherwise, I can call and ask Miss Bai Jin. She is in the same hotel with me. We can play chess together. It is better than being alone.

She took out her cell phone and dialed Bai Jin's number. It took only one second for the other party to answer the call.

"White Wolf?"

"Yes, it's me." After the call was connected, Bai Lang didn't know what to say.

"How was your rest?"

"It's okay, I'm totally fine, where are you?"

"I'm discussing the mission salary with the people from Rhodes Island."

"salary?!"

"Yes, Rhodes Island has submitted a report to that company. Our mission is considered complete. Do you want to come and take a look?"

"Go ahead, I'll be there soon. See you later." Bai Lang hung up the phone.

She wasn't tired anymore when she mentioned salary. What she lacked most now was money. If she had no more income, she wouldn't be able to afford to stay in a hotel.

Although it is a bit cold outside, given the physique of the Terrans, it is no problem to wear a skirt and go out. Not wanting to go out and not being able to go out are two completely different things.

She hurriedly left the hotel, crossed two streets and an intersection, and arrived at the institute.

Volume 1: Chapter 27: Rhode Island Commission

White Wolf arrived at the Rhodes Island office with ease and was told that the commission would be discussed in the conference room.

Under the guidance of the staff, she found the conference room inside the institute.

Standing at the door, I could hear someone talking inside. Since the room was well soundproofed, the voice sounded vague and I could only roughly tell that it seemed to be the person in charge, Frank.

White Wolf knocked on the door.

The vague voices paused, the door of the conference room opened a crack, and a dog's head poked out.

Spot saw the White Wolf outside the door and signaled her to go in quickly with his eyes.

This is a meeting room that can be described as cramped. Except for the door, the other three sides are lined with closely arranged old bookshelves, which are piled high with all kinds of documents.

Frank's work desk was placed right in front of the conference room. The paint on the legs had peeled off, and it looked like a very old item. There was a single sofa against the wall opposite the desk, and Miss Platinum was sitting on it and taking a nap.

This place fully interprets what poverty and hardship are, and is particularly different from the luxurious and high-end reception room.

Frank had been observing Bai Lang from behind since he came in. When he saw that the other party had a strange look on his face, he sighed heavily:

"Please forgive me, Miss White Wolf. This is how the conference room is. We can't do anything about it. The company is poor!"

Is Rhode Island still poor?

One of your reagents is sold out, okay?

"I know what you're thinking." Frank said helplessly, "Although our reagents are relatively expensive, our production capacity is really low. After all, our employees need to rest. It's impossible for them to work 24 hours a day."

Spot, who was standing aside and looking at his phone, suddenly shuddered.

Frank continued to complain:

"And you should also know that there are many infected employees in Rhodes Island, so our medicines are basically used to meet domestic demand, and there are not many that can be sold outside."

"Not to mention the fact that we have to support the research departments and squander their money. All these researchers, ah! They don't know how expensive food and oil are until they run the household!"

"Think about it, why do we have our base in Columbia in Cast Iron City? Wouldn't it be better to build it in Tremont? We simply don't have the money."

Bailang felt that it would be more interesting if the gloomy Frank lit a cigarette.

She is now very confused as to why the other party suddenly said all this. It has nothing to do with her at all.

I just came here to collect the commission.

Uh, what Mr. Frank said has nothing to do with her commission...

It must be okay! How could a company as big as Rhodes Island find a reason to deduct her salary?

She said lightly, "I deeply sympathize with your company's situation. Can we now talk about the commission we agreed on?"

"Yes, of course." Frank said quickly, and then showed a flattering smile, "Just, in terms of time, can we postpone it a bit?"

Hearing what the other party said, White Wolf's eyes widened in shock. She never expected that Rhodes Island would actually delay paying her wages. This mission was not an easy one. If she was not careful, she would be in trouble.

Her eyes quickly changed from surprise to seriousness, and then to calmness. Without a trace of anger, she simply asked, "Is this the way Rhodes Island does things?"

Frank shuddered inwardly and was extremely anxious. He never imagined that Rhode Island's reputation would almost be ruined in his hands one day.
