Miss Wolper's Life as an Operator in Rhodes Island

It is quite boring to drive alone, but fortunately I can listen to the music in the car so I don't feel too impatient.

Ursus is located in the north of Terra and is subject to severe cold weather for a long time throughout the year, but in July now, it is not that bad.

Following the map, Feng Ling drove towards the destination.

Feng Ling did not have enough experience in driving this type of vehicle. Although she had done all the homework she could beforehand and the results of the simulation training were quite good, there were still some differences between it and the actual operation.

Therefore, the travel speed is kept at a moderate level to facilitate response to emergencies.

There is more than one town on each route. When exchanging supplies for minerals, just do your best and don't exceed the minimum price.

The evaluation and assessment of mission completion is not simply based on how much supplies are exchanged, but a more comprehensive assessment.

Although Feng Ling was somewhat concerned about her own assessment, she also knew that caring too much would restrict her hands and lead to bad results.

You may encounter many situations along the way. Make confident decisions based on your own judgment.

The training in Rhodes Island has taught Feng Ling a lot.

Fengling also deeply recognizes what Rhodes Island has done and the philosophy it upholds.

Based on this premise, Feng Ling believes that she will not make a choice that she will regret.

As might be expected, this is likely to be a fairly simple task in and of itself.

Feng Ling successfully reached the first town point.

Ursus is a vast country with few people, and the wind chime is not traveling very fast, so it is almost evening now.

"I am Feng Ling. I have arrived at the scheduled coordinates 5-1. There are no abnormal conditions at the moment. Report completed."

Town No. 5 on Route 1.

Through the ordinary line of the car radio, Feng Ling first reported the progress to the Rhodes Island ship.

Then, he slowly drove the vehicle into the town.

"Well...it seems we should be more careful."

Through the one-way transparent car window, Feng Ling looked at the residents here, and an alarm bell instinctively sounded in his heart.

The preliminary preparation work made Feng Ling realize that although there are many kind and honest people in Ursus, there are also many people who will do evil because of small things due to the pressure of survival.

And in this regard, people in the border area of ​​​​Ursus may be even worse.

A little bit of food, a little fuel for the Originium furnace for heating, could lead to a tragedy.

Moreover, trucks loaded with supplies are themselves fat sheep.

The town where 5-1 is located is not very big. After driving the car to the central square of the town, Feng Ling turned off the engine of the car.

"On the way here just now...many of the nighttime lighting facilities seemed to have been abandoned and in disrepair for a long time."

“Most of the houses are poorly built.”

“There also seem to be fewer things like cellars.”

"But the crude source stone ore shows signs of being randomly piled up and placed in the open air."

Feng Ling sorted out the information and closed her eyes to think for a while.

"call……"

Feng Ling took a deep breath and a business-like smile appeared on her face.

Check your equipment and open the car door.

Apparently, there were few outsiders in this small town on ordinary days, let alone those driving large vehicles like this.

The arrival of the wind chimes naturally attracted the attention of many residents in the town.

The residents here were also stunned when they saw that the visitor was a Wolper girl who looked quite lovely.

After all, Rhode Island's trucks look quite rugged, and one would subconsciously think that the driver is a muscular man.

With a smile on his face, Feng Ling looked around and said loudly, "Hello everyone, I am a businessman passing by here. Is the mayor here?"

There was silence.

Feng Ling was not in a hurry and always kept a decent smile on her face.

It is not wrong to call himself a businessman, the essential purpose of this mission is indeed trading.

And the identity of a merchant...is more in line with the stereotype of the Wolper race on Terra.

Cunning and shrewd.

So it might make people here lower their guard a little.

This will also increase the chances of moving on to the next step of the conversation.

However, Feng Ling did not wait for the mayor to come here, but instead encountered some expected troubles.

Two Ursus military policemen, holding long-handled axes and wearing crooked equipment, walked towards Feng Ling.

One of them had a hideous scar on his face, and he said to Feng Ling fiercely, "Don't move, we suspect your vehicle is transporting dangerous goods, let us check it out!"

With a "clang" sound, the handle of the long-handled sharp axe hit the ground hard, making a loud noise, as if the two military police wanted to use this to intimidate the thin and slender Wolper girl in front of them.

If he was just an ordinary businessman, he would probably just give in.

Such a sudden inspection obviously has ulterior motives.

"Ah..." Feng Ling smiled and covered her mouth, her eyes narrowed into slits, but she still looked very happy. "What a good start."

Fortunately, Rhodes Island is experienced in dealing with this situation.

If you are not prepared and face the Ursus military and police, no matter whether they have ulterior motives or not, you can only try your best to cooperate, otherwise you will be at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, some of Ursus's top leaders are aware of the chaotic situation in their country, so they will issue some special orders to deal with this situation.

It can give the person holding the order the legitimate right to not cooperate with the unreasonable demands of the military and police.

It is also a protective talisman. Those who can have such a document basically have the support of senior ruling officials in Ursus.

Rhodes Island applied for such a document through its own efforts.

The vehicles and cargo have also been confirmed by the Ursus side, so Feng Ling can refuse here.

"Two soldiers, this is the official document issued by Ursus. My car also has a unique number corresponding to the document. The goods we sell and trade have all been inspected and verified, so I have the right to refuse your inspection!"

Feng Ling took out a document that had been prepared long ago from the lining of her coat. The document was indeed stamped with the official seal of Ursus, so it could not be faked.

In addition to the documents, Feng Ling also handed over two boxes of tobacco.

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow soldiers! Please take these two boxes of tobacco. They will help you stay alert while on duty."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.

The wind chimes are so "sensible" and there are documents in advance.

The soldiers who originally wanted to take the opportunity to steal something had no choice but to accept the tobacco first.

However, their greedy eyes never escaped Feng Ling's sight, and he saw it clearly.

"Although it's safe for now...but maybe this matter won't end like this."

Feng Ling quietly put away the documents, her mind fully alert.

Chapter 29: Earn Small Money

"What do you want from an old man like me, little girl?"

After arguing with the two soldiers for a while, an old and weak voice came from afar.

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes and looked over with a smile.

An old man with a bald head and a gray beard, leaning on a cane, walked over tremblingly.

It seems that he is the village chief.

The old village chief looked at the two soldiers beside Feng Ling, and a hint of fear subconsciously appeared in his eyes. Then his eyes avoided the direction of the two men and looked at Feng Ling.

The wind chimes watched all of this silently.

It seems that the old village chief has been troubled by these two soldiers.

However, Feng Ling did not have the intention to eliminate harm for the people for the time being. After all, she was just a businessman standing here.

Besides, interpersonal relationships and human nature will always be more complicated than you imagine.

Don't make assumptions without investigation.

What you see on the surface is always just on the surface.

Feng Ling is not a judge, nor is she the warlord of Ursus.

So she chose to ignore these for the time being and continue with her mission.

"Hello, village chief. I am a merchant passing by and hope to sell some supplies here. You can see if there is anything you need."

Feng Ling first concealed her true needs.

If you make your needs known first, the other party can take advantage and raise the price.

So just sell it first.

The old village chief first glanced at the soldier, and then continued to ask: "What do you sell?"

“Haha…” Feng Ling clapped his hands, and the tail behind him swayed slightly. He said in a boastful tone: “Fresh vegetables, prepared dried meat, crop seeds, Originium stoves and fuel, even small things like pots and pans, as long as it is daily necessities for food and clothing, I have them all here!”

These are true.

It is also a test for Feng Ling.

The two soldiers who received the tobacco given by Wind Chime did not leave. They were smoking nearby.

After hearing Feng Ling's words, they apparently subconsciously gripped their weapons tighter.

Ah... I really hope they will give up when they see the difficulty.

Feng Ling also knew that at times like this, her incredibly cute and beautiful appearance had the opposite effect.

But at least, they shouldn't do it openly.

So let’s complete the deal first.

Feng Ling returned to the vehicle and rummaged around for a while, then enthusiastically handed a price list to the old village chief.

This situation is foreseeable.

Therefore, the price list in currency units that Feng Ling prepared in advance based on the information provided by Rhodes Island really came in handy.

Fortunately, the old village chief is literate. In these villages, it is indeed too difficult to popularize education.

After looking for a while, the old village chief sighed.

"Little girl, the price you offer is... quite fair. The village does need to stock up on winter supplies, and this season is the last chance to plant seeds. We really need these things."

"——But we probably can't afford that much money. Little girl... can you make this price a little cheaper?"

After saying that, the old village chief shook his head.

"Ah... is that so? Please let me think about it."

Feng Ling's face was full of regret, and then she fell silent, as if she was seriously thinking about what the old village chief had just said.

silence.

Silence again.

If the other party really needs it, silence at this time will bring some psychological pressure to the other party.

Feng Ling didn't really need to think, she had already prepared her next words.

"Well... let's do this." Feng Ling looked around and said, "Old village chief, I noticed that your village seems to have mined a lot of Originium ore. Don't you want those things?"

"The good source stone mines have long been requisitioned by the masters... These are of poor quality, no one wants them at all..." The old village chief followed Feng Ling's gaze and saw some scattered source stone ores.

These things are really embarrassing for the residents here.

They do not have the ability to refine minerals, these source stone mines have the risk of pollution and cannot be stored together with food.

But it cannot be said that these mines are completely worthless.
