Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

"Have you found someone to talk to?"

"Let me make it clear first, my purpose was not to find someone to talk to. I was just curious and wanted to experience it, so I followed the procedure and found someone."

"How did you find it? Is there such a thing?" Miss White Wolf made a gesture of flipping a book, "Like a recipe book, with photos on it."

Miss Lin smiled and raised her eyebrows: "You know a lot."

"I guessed it. I guessed it." Miss White Wolf emphasized.

"Yes, there is such a thing, it is for new customers to see. The waiter calls it a 'name list'."

“Are all the photos above very handsome?”

"No, although their average looks are higher than the average person, there are many people who are just average. Their strength lies in communication."

"Which one did you pick?"

"The one I'm looking for is more expensive, has an above-average appearance, and once studied at Kyoto University in the East. He said he mainly studies psychotherapy."

"Ah! Is it a psychologist?"

"He does provide counseling and charges by the hour, but unfortunately I don't have anything to consult about. We drank like strangers, and then I asked him about gigolos."

"How did he say?"

"He said different clubs have different requirements for their employees. The one I went to had very high standards. It required gigolos to be knowledgeable, good at speaking, and good at understanding the psychology of customers. For customers with serious mental problems, they needed to be given improvement plans."

"This threshold... is indeed unusual. How can they improve the mood of the guests?"

"The methods are very unique. Some involve listening to music, some simply chatting, some teaching people to draw, and some teaching people to meditate. In short, there are all kinds of methods. When customers leave, they will rate the service providers. If the customer feels that they would rather not come, or that their mood has become worse, and there are too many negative comments like this, the gigolo is at risk of being fired."

“It felt completely different than I had expected.”

"I was also surprised, but then I thought about it and understood. After all, the store I went to was officially approved by the East Country, and it was the top-level one, which is not very representative. It is said that the number of formal stores in the entire East Country is relatively limited. Other stores are formal during the day and informal at night, and some are exactly the same as those in Yuegang."

"It's too scary to be like Yuegang." Miss White Wolf couldn't help but say, "But the regular store seems to be quite fun."

"If you want to go, I'll take you." Lin Yuxia said with a smile.

"No, I don't have any psychological problems."

"Just chatting is fine."

"I won't go then. It's boring."

"Okay, I won't go. Look, I've told you so much. You're not angry now, are you?"

"What are you angry about?"

"It was just a joke I made."

"Well, I've never been angry, okay?" Miss White Wolf said seriously, "I'm not petty. I won't get angry when I hear people joking."

Lin Yuxia looked at the other person, looking a little dazed.

"Hey, why aren't you talking? Here, grapes." Miss White Wolf took out purple-red grapes with crystal water droplets from the fruit plate and shook them in front of Miss Lin.

"Oh." Lin Yuxia took the grape and bit it open. She felt that the juice tasted unexpectedly sweet. She suddenly said, "I have good news to tell you."

"What good news."

"Uncle Wei is optimistic about your academic conference and agreed to let me waive some of the fees, which means I can give him a discount."

"Ah, that's great, why didn't you say that just now?"

"I just forgot."

"Ms. Lin also forgets things. I thought I was the only one with a bad memory. Now I always write down my work in a small notebook."

"Well, I want to learn from you. Do you have anything to do tonight?"

"I made an appointment to play poker with Tianhuo and the others. Aina also said she wanted to study video games."

"Then have fun. I'll prepare some snacks for you. You can bring them back. Don't say no. It's not easy for me to give something away."

"Okay, then I'll take it without hesitation."

……

In Longmen City, in an ordinary building in a small alley.

The Rat King and Longmen Mayor Wei Yanwu sat opposite each other, each holding his own pipe, with wisps of white smoke drifting out from the end of the pipe.

On the table facing them lay a wooden chessboard with scattered chess pieces. To the left was a fireplace burning charcoal, and the whole room was warmed by the heat from the fireplace.

"I heard about that." said the Rat King.

"which one?"

"The one Yuxia found for you this morning."

Wei Yanwu's mouth curled up slightly, and his tone was filled with a subtle gloating: "You used the word 'I heard', it seems that Yuxia didn't discuss it with you first."

The Rat King's hand holding the cigarette trembled a little, and then he said calmly: "Yuxia is already an adult, I fully believe that she has the ability to make independent judgments."

Wei Yanwu narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Now that you know the situation, what do you think?"

"You should have planned this kind of thing a long time ago."

"Of course, the future of Longmen needs top researchers to play a role, otherwise Rhodes Island would not be left with such a hot potato."

"But what happened today is not like your usual role."

"Oh, what do you think is my style?"

"You will take everything into your own hands. You will not make promises hastily before getting clear expectations. You are the most greedy and cunning guy in the entire Longmen. This behavior makes me doubt whether you have already controlled that little girl."

Wei Yanwu calmly puffed on his pipe and shook his head, saying, “As you can see, your daughter is accompanying her to discuss the meeting at this time.”

"So, she is the descendant of one of your Long family's relatives?"

"I want to ask you this. Yuxia has come to me many times with the girl's matter. Did you instruct her? If I didn't know your temper, I would have suspected that she was your illegitimate daughter. Tsk, although you are not good-looking, you are quite good at giving birth to beautiful daughters."

Of course it was impossible for him to give the instructions, the Rat King muttered to himself. How could he have the ability to give Yuxia instructions now? But Wei Yanwu would definitely not lie to her. If that was the case, was his daughter a little too concerned about that little girl?

For the sake of face, he did not deny the advice, but slowly responded: "My appearance is indeed not that good, but at least I won't scare the children of Longmen to tears."

Wei Yanwu was choked by the smoke and coughed, "Ahem, Lao Lin, let's not talk about this."

The Rat King took a puff of his pipe, his eyes sharp: "Then tell me why that little girl can do it?"

Chapter 2022 Learning 12-01-12 00:02:

Wei Yanwu held his pipe, staring intently at the red charcoal in the fireplace, and said slowly:

"Old Lin, we have been working hard for Longmen for dozens of years now."

The Rat King also followed the other's gaze and looked towards the fireplace: "Of course I know that. I also know that you are not the kind of person who is sad about the passing of time."

"We have dealt with many people, and there are only two most effective means to achieve our goals: interests and authority. I thought that these two means would work everywhere in Yanguo, but later I found out that I was wrong."

"There aren't many people in this world who would dare not sell to you."

"You can't say that. Every one of the people from the Red Bamboo Academy can turn me down."

"The Red Bamboo Academy is a different matter."

"I was given similar treatment at Victoria's school."

"Victoria?"

"It's Victoria, where the big library is located. People from the Ministry of Rites go there every few years."

"I know that." The Rat King blew his beard and glared, "You mean you were rejected?"

Wei Yanwu showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face: "Ahem, that's not the case. I was indeed negligent last year. Their place is slightly similar to Chizhu Academy, but it is also very different. The actual status of the school is very high. The one who rejected me was the president of the National Research Institute. In our Yan Country, it is equivalent to an empty title of the third rank. Don't you think it's strange?"

The Rat King pinched his mustache and thought for a while, then said calmly: "It's a bit strange. Tell me how you were rejected."

"I was not rejected." Wei Yanwu put down his pipe and emphasized, "The dean of the other party asked for the opinions of other researchers and concluded that everyone was busy. Then he respectfully asked me to talk again next time."

The Rat King sat back on his chair and took a puff of air. "Old Wei, there's no point in lying to yourself."

"Whatever you think, the result is like this. I have finally understood that people from the school will always have a lot of trouble no matter where they are." Wei Yanwu said depressedly.

"But your Long family has always been inseparable from learning." The Rat King said happily, "Why didn't you consult me ​​at the time? You know that I have cooperated with the person from Rhodes Island, so it should be no problem to ask her for help."

Wei Yanwu shook his head: "Rhodes Island itself is too unstable, and the person they find may be problematic. Moreover, if she guesses that Rhodes Island has this role in Longmen, she will inevitably ask for too much."

"That's definitely her style. Asking her for help will definitely produce immediate results, but the cost is also real."

Wei Yanwu suddenly asked in a relaxed tone: "So, why didn't I choose that little girl? Her performance has proven that she has the potential to study martial arts."

"Even so, Longmen has made a promise, but it still comes at a high price."

"Don't forget, Longmen's Silver Tower is not for casual use." Wei Yanwu smiled faintly, "That little girl will have to pay a huge rent for it."

"You..." The Rat King took a deep breath, "You are indeed the Wei Yanwu I know. You took advantage of others and still asked them to pay you. Should I call you shameless?"

"Mr. Lin, you can't say that. Think about what your daughter is doing. In the future, that money will go into your pocket."

The Rat King was silent for a moment, then suddenly tapped the chessboard a few times with his pipe.

"Old Wei, let's play chess."

……

When Miss White Wolf returned, it was already dark and a biting cold wind was blowing on the streets.

When Aina and Tianhuo learned that she was going to bring back some delicious food, they simply stopped going out and stayed in the room to avoid the cold.

At night, the three of them did not play cards, but started playing TV games. The supporting facilities of Dagu Hotel are quite comprehensive. If you want many things, you can contact the waiter to rent a set.

The video game they were playing was called Terra Legend, a multiplayer cooperative game in which the players controlled pixel characters on an adventure.

At the beginning of the game, Miss White Wolf decisively chose the swordsman profession, Tianhuo and Aina chose the mage and assistant respectively.

The game process is inevitably accompanied by various mutterings. Miss White Wolf complained that the swordsman's handling was stiff and his movements were poor, and she wished she could take his place. Miss Skyfire felt that the mage's chanting was long-winded and his spells were weak, and she also muttered that she wanted to go on the field herself. Only Miss Ina had fun, sometimes giving the swordsman a treatment, and sometimes giving the mage a speed-up.

"Sister Tianhuo, you are being sped up, hurry up."

"I'm a mage, don't mess with me."

"Wow, Ms. Olicia, how can you run so fast? I can't add any buffs at all."

"Uh, I put all my points into Agility."

"Aina, give me some health back. We are going to fight the BOSS."

"No, I can't hit it at all."

"This game design is unscientific. I think agility should also increase damage."

"Let's grind it to death slowly."

"Sister Tianhuo, why did you die first?"

"You can recover health and mana."

"Lululu, you're not good at it, and you blame me."

"Resurrect me. Miss Olicia can't do it alone."

"Hey, here's Miss Aina's Originium technique, Victoria's Great Resurrection Technique. Isn't it amazing?"

……

The three people who got the new toys played until midnight. They put down the handles when they felt sleepy. After agreeing to continue playing the next night, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Miss White Wolf took a hot bath, put on her loose and comfortable pajamas and lay on the bed. Her brain began to think involuntarily.

Ever since she left Miss Lin, she has been thinking about what she said and her complicated and extreme thoughts.

No, it cannot be called 'extreme'. This kind of thing cannot be evaluated, and cannot be evaluated fairly.

Different standpoints and circumstances make everyone look at things with what they think is a fair prejudice. I remember a saying that makes a lot of sense: when people think they are thinking rationally, they are actually just reorganizing their prejudices.

But no matter what, that suicidal thought touched her deeply - only severe punishment can scare the powerful and make domineering people like me bow their heads.

She believed that Miss Lin would definitely be a qualified successor to the Rat King, not referring to the Mafia, but the 'patron saint of the poor of Longmen'.

These are things at the superficial level of her thinking. Deep in her mind, based on the information she perceived, she had vague new guesses about Longmen and Yan Country.

Where does the 'Mafia' get its right to judge sinners as a supplement to the law?

Longmen is in power.
