Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

"After that meeting, Miss Eyjafjalla and others conducted a series of research on this project. It can be said that the basics were already laid. However, in the end, it was suspended due to material problems and the difficulty. Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company after all, and it does not have a large supply of raw ore samples. Moreover, this level of task is extremely difficult, and Miss Eyjafjalla cannot complete it all at once. I accidentally learned about this matter, and after negotiation, I spent a lot of money to buy Rhodes Island's research materials."

For the sake of Rhodes Island's image, White Wolf deliberately did not reveal the real reason for the termination of the research. According to Kal'tsit, on the one hand, it was because Rhodes Island was short of funds and could not invest heavily in such a project. On the other hand, even if the research was successful, the benefits to Rhodes Island as a pharmaceutical company would be extremely limited. Kal'tsit would not do such a losing business, so the research was suspended and the early research files were sealed in Rhodes Island.

Today, Miss White Wolf, who was full of bad intentions, was destined to perform beyond her normal level. She deliberately made some subtle adjustments in other places. For example, "Research is difficult, even Eyjafjalla can't do it well" was added on her own initiative. This cunning trick was the bait to lure Miss Skyfire into the trap.

As for the so-called "spending a large sum of money to purchase information", it was also to make what he said sound more credible. If he said that it was just given to him by Kal'tsit casually, it would sound too meaningless.

She looked at the sky fire quietly and continued:

"Ice Stone Mining's headquarters is located in the north of Ursus, on the edge of the tundra. According to my investigation, all mining areas are troubled by the processing of low-purity raw ores, because these ores have no use value at all. Although they will not cause infection to ordinary people, large amounts of surface accumulation may still cause source stone dust pollution. This means that Ice Stone Mining can easily obtain a large amount of low-purity raw ores. If this project is successful, its prospects will be very impressive. Here, I guarantee that everyone will get a satisfactory reward."

"But." White Wolf's tone suddenly became serious. "This is a task that even Miss Eyjafjalla has not been able to solve. I dare not estimate how difficult it is, so I came to Victoria specially to invite you to help."

Volume 4: Chapter 141 A Successful Ending

As soon as Bai Lang finished speaking, she paused temporarily to give others time to think. This time was mainly reserved for Miss Tianhuo. Whether she could recruit her or not depended on now.

There was a brief silence in the room, and everyone had different expressions and their own thoughts.

The first person to enter the thinking state was Miss Aina. She didn't even hear the last words of Bailang. Her mind wandered to the other party's promise to give "each person satisfied with the reward". Since everyone should be satisfied, then the reward must be something she can ask for herself. Doesn't this mean that she can try to make a private request?

But how should she say it? Ina realized sadly that she would not be able to speak at that time. Why was she always easily flustered in front of Miss Olicia? It would be better if she could be thicker-skinned. Ina unconsciously moved her eyes to Miss Olicia and suddenly found that she was wearing black pantyhose today. She secretly looked at her for a while, and suddenly a brilliant idea came to her mind.

She could ask for no reward and give Miss Olicia a set of clothes. She would definitely wear them to express her gratitude. In this way, Miss Olicia would not be suspicious and her little thoughts would be satisfied. What clothes should she give? Ina recalled the black short skirt and lace stockings she had seen in fashion magazines.

Compared to the daydreamy Ina, everyone else is much more serious.

Miss Ceylon became more and more interested in the research of ice stone mining. Because the shortage of source stone mines in Xiosta has always existed, she began to seriously consider her itinerary: first return to her hometown, and then take a flying vehicle from Xiosta to Ursus.

Tianhuo was completely excited. When she thought that this was a project that even Eyjafjalla could not complete, she immediately became eager to do it, not to mention that this research itself was of great significance.

But even though she was tempted, Tianhuo was not a freshman college student, and she would not rush forward blindly just because someone said something. She found something extremely suspicious about this matter: Rhodes Island and Ice Stone Mining were two unequal companies.

One is the most famous pharmaceutical company in Terra, the Ark in the hearts of all infected people, and the other is just a new company that is unknown to the public. Would a large company like Rhodes Island really have any contact with the other party? Would Rhodes Island really sell the "research data" of Eyjafjalla and others?

Before Miss Tianhuo could even raise her voice to question, the only man at the scene cleared up her confusion.

Oliver stood up and said, "Although I don't think it's necessary to do this, as a stakeholder, I still want to prove to you that Miss Olicia is right."

Unlike Qin Liu who stared at Bai Lang stupidly, Oliver had always maintained an objective and sober attitude. He had already deduced some information from Olicia's words: Miss Tianhuo was an important person who needed to be recruited. At the same time, he also saw the doubt in Tianhuo's eyes. Now, it was time for him, the client, to step forward.

Looking at everyone's gazes, Oliver turned up his collar, revealing the Rhodes Island logo that was covered, and said calmly, "I haven't introduced myself to you yet. Miss Qin Liu and I are affiliated with the Rhodes Island Office in Kochi County. This time I came here at the order of Ms. Outcast to help Miss Olicia recruit researchers."

"Ah, that's right." Qin Liu, who had regained consciousness, cursed himself for his slow reaction and quickly responded to Oliver's words.

After hearing the name Outcast, Tianhuo finally stopped doubting. Ms. Outcast has always been low-key, and she only knew this name because she has been in the Victorian scientific research community for many years.

The other party has been in contact with the top educational institutions in Londinium. At the end of last year, Ms. Outcast invited a group of scholars to Rhode Island for academic exchanges. She originally wanted to go, but something urgent happened and she was unable to make it. Later she felt very regretful.

"Are Ice Stone Mining and Rhodes Island in a cooperative relationship?" Tianhuo suddenly asked.

"No." White Wolf shook his head quickly. Kal'tsit's position in Ursus was too special, and Ice Stone Mining was an Ursus company. Before she figured out the situation, she didn't dare to directly admit that she had cooperation with Rhodes Island.

She then explained, "This is a private collaboration. I am an infected person and have been to Rhode Island for treatment, so I got to know some people. I purchased the information directly, and there is no real partnership at the company level."

Maybe there is some hidden secret, Tianhuo thought. People from Rhodes Island came to help recruit, so how could there be no cooperation? She had no intention of studying the complicated relationship and nodded.

"Ms. Olicia, I am happy to join this research project. However, I have other tasks to undertake at Foxtail, so I would like to join temporarily. Is that okay?"

"Of course, Bingshi Mining will give everyone the greatest autonomy." White Wolf said, trying not to laugh. If not everyone was there, she would have wagged her tail with joy.

She glanced at everyone again and reminded them in unison: "Everyone, you all know the situation in Ursus. If I go there, I hope you will keep my infection status confidential. My cooperation with Rhodes Island is also confidential to the company for the time being. I hope you can understand."

"Don't worry, Miss Olicia." Tianhuo nodded, "Everyone understands and won't say anything nonsense."

Miss Tianhuo is an absolute action person. At her suggestion, everyone discussed the future itinerary on the spot.

The graduation time of the National University is the end of April, which means that Ceylon and Aina have to finish their academic assessments within two weeks, and Tianhuo will also deal with the matter of "Fox Tail" during this period.

Two weeks later, they will take a flying vehicle from Londinium to Chernobog, and then transfer to the city of Koros in the north. Ceylon will return to Xiosta alone, and after discussing with her father, she will rush from Xiosta to Ursus. Her schedule will be about eight or nine days later than that of White Wolf and others.

After the discussion, Tianhuo and others exchanged contact information with Bailang and said goodbye one after another. Only Bailang, Qinliu and Oliver were left in the recruitment room again.

They worked together to put the tables and chairs back in place, tore down the posters, and took out the tools to start cleaning.

While wiping the table, White Wolf was thinking about the content of the discussion meeting.

Miss Ceylon was originally from Xiosta. In fact, she had always been curious about Xiosta, which was an independent city that did not belong to any country and had the leading tourism industry in the Terra continent, which had long aroused her interest.

Judging from her appearance, Miss Ceylon should be from a wealthy family. She might even run a tourist hotel in Xiosta. If we were to go there for sightseeing someday, we might be able to get a discount.

Anyway, despite some unpleasant incidents, this recruitment meeting has ended successfully. How should I spend the next two weeks? Is it possible to sleep in the hotel every day?

Volume 4: Chapter 142: Principal

In the president's office of Victoria National University.

The gray-haired, elegantly dressed old principal Filin was making annotations on the document in front of him with a quill pen. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. He put the quill pen on the pen holder, said "Come in", and then concentrated on blowing dry the ink on the document.

He was quite surprised to see that the visitor was his old butler, the current president of the National University or the Marquis of Evan. When he was working in the college, his family usually would not come over unless they encountered something that they could not handle.

However, the old butler's expression was very calm, and it didn't seem to be an emergency. What could it be? Marquis Evan thought silently.

"Sir, a letter from the Marquis Carolingian." The old butler walked up to the Marquis, bent down, took out a brown letter, and presented it to him respectfully with both hands.

"That old guy." Marquis Evan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and soon his face was full of smiles. He took the letter and pointed to the stool next to him, "Sit anywhere you want."

"No, sir, I have things to do at home. If you don't have any other questions, I will take my leave first."

"Look at my memory." The Marquis slapped his forehead with sudden realization, "Well, go ahead and do your work. I'll come back to you if I have anything else."

After the butler left, the office door was closed again. Marquis Evan then calmly removed the sealing wax and took out the letter paper. Having not seen this old friend for many years, he kept guessing the purpose of the letter.

There were only two pages of content on the letter, which made Marquis Evan very dissatisfied. He felt that writing so little was insincere, and that the wording was not polished and the tone was very impolite, and there was no awareness that he was asking for a favor at all.

The Marquis read the letter and was so angry that he threw it on the table and blew his beard and glared. But after a short while, he regained the calm and natural image of an elder.

He was an elegant Victorian aristocrat, so what reason did he have to have with that old Ursus guy?

Elegance is indeed innate, the Marquis thought happily, and when he read the letter again, his mood also became cheerful.

"The younger generation in my family has started a company and is looking for a group of researchers." He muttered to himself while holding the letter paper. "This old guy likes to stir up trouble himself, and he even harms the little girl in the family."

He stood up and found a booklet from the filing cabinet behind him. It was the record booklet sent by the college's employment center a few days ago. Marquis Evan found the name mentioned in the letter on the index page.

"Olicia. The girl is quite quick. She's already here." He put the booklet on the table, then picked up the landline phone and dialed a number.

About five minutes later, a tall, middle-aged man named Liberi knocked on the door and came in, holding a thick file in his arms. He asked nervously, "Principal, you are looking for me."

"Well, it's just a small matter. Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly." Evan said with a smile.

After the Liberians sat down, Evan said calmly, "I asked you to come here to inquire about the recruitment records of a company, so I asked you to bring this month's file book. Um, you can check the information of Ice Stone Mining."

Icestone Mining? Liberi found that she happened to know this company. She took out the relevant files, handed them to the principal, and then reported rapidly: "I just handled a company's withdrawal agreement this morning. It was Icestone Mining. Their person in charge is Miss Olicia. The school has a total of seven days for recruitment. The location is Room 013 on the fifth floor of the recruitment building..."

"Wait, you said they have finished recruiting?" Marquis Evan pointed at the information on the file, "Didn't they say the recruits were from the Originium Research Department? That department just had an assessment last week."

"Yes, I was also surprised before, but the recruitment is indeed over. Our school has two successful applicants on record, both of whom are recent graduates of Originium Academy."

When Marquis Evan saw the names of Aina and Ceylon in the file, his expression suddenly became quite subtle. Because he had to deal with a large company like Rhine Life, he knew very well all the outstanding talents in his own school. It would have been fine if Ceylon was the top student, but even Aina was recruited.

Ceylon is the daughter of Mayor Xiosta. Even if he personally took action, he might not be able to decide what these two people think. How did the girl from the Carolingian family do it?

Seeing that the principal was very interested in this company, the Liberian said that he knew another important information: "The person in charge of Ice Stone Mining may have entered the assessment site through the Guards Academy."

"The natural disaster site?" Evan frowned. "Is the news true?"

"The news came from the staff in charge of classroom allocation. When they went to hand over the recruitment classroom to Miss Olicia this morning, they ran into the Royal Guards. Something went wrong during the assessment, and the Royal Guards should have just learned about the situation from Miss Olicia."

"I understand." Evan nodded. "Put this file here for now. I'll have someone deliver it to you someday. You go ahead and do your work."

"Ok."

Marquis Evan had known about the research institute's affairs for the first time, and had vague guesses about the inside story. As for the parties involved, he did not pay too much attention to them. But now the situation is different. Olicia is actually one of the parties involved.

The old guy had finally asked for help himself. It would be a huge embarrassment if he did something weird again.

He hurriedly opened the incident report of the assessment point and examined it in detail.

Ten minutes later, Marquis Evan put down the report book with a strange look on his face.

According to the contents of the report, let's not talk about why Olicia was able to enter the Royal Guard Academy so smoothly. After the accident, she became one of the top parties involved, but almost all other parties spoke in unison for Olicia. There was no unfavorable factor against this person in the entire report.

Did the old guy send a little fox? How did he pick all the shavings?

However, in front of some things, no matter how clean you are, you will get into trouble, he thought silently. He could guess who the person behind the research institute suspected of conducting research on immortals might be with his eyes closed.

Forget it, forget it. He has to help, so he has to find a way to express his attitude. There is no way the Atrias family will not give him this face.

However, the price of favor from the royal family is a bit high.

The loss is too great. I have to find a way to let that old man Carolingian know. But I can't say it directly, because it will make him seem petty and that would be too embarrassing.

Marquis Avon fell into deep thought.

……

In the afternoon, White Wolf, who was taking a walk in the Londinium City Park, unexpectedly received a text message from the Academic Affairs Office of the National University College, saying that because of her outstanding contribution at the assessment site, the school leaders had decided to award her the medal of honorary alumni of the National University.

She handed the phone to Qin Liu and asked doubtfully, "How did they know my number? Do you think it's a scam text message?"

"No, your number has already been submitted to the recruitment office. We can go to the school and ask around and find out."

Volume 4: Chapter 143 Playing Chess

The old principal who had taken great pains did not expect that Bai Lang was not interested in the so-called "honorary alumni" at all. She always liked to keep a low profile and followed the principle of doing less is better.

Although Miss Qin Liu suggested going to the school to ask, Bai Lang simply shook her head and rejected the idea. She would rather sit on a chair in the park and bask in the sun than receive some useless honorary certificate.

April in Victoria is a beautiful time of the year. The spring chill has long passed, and the hot summer has not yet arrived. Everything looks full of vitality.

The gentle sunlight shone through the gaps between the green trees onto the faded crimson bench. The White Wolf sitting on the chair narrowed her eyes slightly and looked quietly at the lake in the distance. She could stay comfortably in a place like this for an entire afternoon.

However, the two people sitting on the same bench had different moods.

Miss Qin Liu looked uneasy, sometimes she was deep in thought, sometimes she frowned in pain. She was distracted by some things she had to face.

Just this afternoon, after the group finished their formalities and left the National University, Oliver talked to her alone about some things.

Ms. Outcast sent a message last night that an emergency had occurred in Xiaoqiu County and that the operators needed to be gathered as soon as possible to conduct a preliminary investigation, so they were asked to return immediately after completing the mission.

Taking into account the travel time, the best date to return is tomorrow morning.

Oliver did not intend to interfere with her choice. He somehow saw through her thoughts and asked her frankly if she was willing to return to Rhodes Island. He also said that if she had other ideas, Rhodes Island would wish her all the best.

She asked Oliver in detail about the Hill County incident, and only then did she realize that the new mission was actually a confidential one, but Ms. Outcast had specifically instructed her to be informed.

In response, Oliver gave an explanation that would have made her cheer in the past but now tortured her: she had passed enough trials, and Ms. Outcast judged that she no longer needed to stay in the rear, but could go to the front line with everyone to carry out the most core, difficult and dangerous tasks.

Her long-cherished wish was finally coming true.

How to choose?

If the misfortune of failed recruitment continued until now, she would not have any entanglement or hesitation at all, because Miss Olicia would have nothing at that time, and she would decisively follow the other party and do her best to help.

But what kind of reversal did she see?

Miss Olicia has completed and even exceeded her goal, which shows that not only in swordsmanship, but also in other aspects, the gap between her and her opponent is not even a little bit.

The mild-tempered Miss Qin Liu is actually a person with a strong self-esteem. She has thought about this problem many times, and she cannot accept that she is a useless person being helped.

But how could I possibly offer to leave? How could I say it out loud?

She did not give Oliver an immediate reply at noon. She delayed it until the end of dinner. At night, Miss Olivia would invite her and Oliver to have dinner at the most upscale Grand Hotel to celebrate the success of the mission.

Bai Lang has noticed Qin Liu's abnormality for a long time. Probably since the accident at the natural disaster assessment point, she felt that Miss Qin Liu was not normal. She used to be a talkative and cheerful girl, but now she is always silent, and sometimes she inadvertently reveals her worries.

She didn't want to see the other person like this.

In her heart, she always believed that meeting Miss Qin Liu was the luckiest part of Victoria's trip.

Without her, she wouldn't have been able to carry out her actions, let alone achieve the little success she has now. She had already thought about her future position for her, and Miss Qin Liu would be her deputy. With her help, she was more confident that the organization would develop smoothly.

Ice Stone Mining is different from Qingmiao Technology. The latter has direct support from Rhodes Island, and does not need to worry about anything from scientific researchers to managers. But Ice Stone Mining is different. Marquis Carolingian has made it clear that he will not interfere in any company business, and she needs to grope her way forward bit by bit in all matters.

Bai Lang turned to look at Qin Liu, and the girl Waifan beside her took a long time to realize that she was looking at her, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"You are unhappy." White Wolf asked worriedly.

"No, I'm fine." Qin Liu explained hurriedly.
