Miss Wolper's Life as an Operator in Rhodes Island

The dense forest suddenly broke apart, and the narrow view suddenly became clear.

“Here… there is such a hidden stream?”

Frost Star said with some surprise.

Obviously, this was information that even she herself didn't know.

Chapter 41 Trading

"There are signs that someone has been here."

What the wind chimes feel is right next to this stream.

All I can say is that it is probably the traces of people having been there.

At the destination sensed by the wind chime, there was a small, obviously sunken area with some fuel from a simple campfire that had not been completely burned out.

Feng Ling touched the blackened firewood and found it was completely cold. It was obvious that it had not been extinguished in a short time.

As for what I was looking for, I have found it.

"This is it!"

Although she had never seen it before, Feng Ling knew at a glance that this was the target she was looking for.

A pocket watch that looks... a little worn out.

The surface of the pocket watch is severely oxidized, but its shape is a relatively ordinary "round", with a thin "chain" connecting the pocket watch.

It completely fits that vague intuition.

Speaking of which, the wind chimes are a bit strange.

The time I found the picture book of a girl named Ifrit in Rhodes Island was much more important than my usual intuition of finding things.

This time, my intuition for finding objects was even more direct and obvious. Even before I found the actual object, I had a vague premonition of the shape of the wind chime.

Are there any common traits shared by the owners of these objects?

Unfortunately, Feng Ling’s current authority does not allow her to see the girl named Ifrit. On Rhodes Island, all records about this girl are completely encrypted, and even her race is unknown.

Maybe this time, I can meet the owner of this found object?

"Hey, Froststar! I found what I was looking for! I wasn't kidding you!"

Feng Ling showed Frost Star what she had just found and tried to dispel Frost Star's doubts.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Shuang Xing's expression seemed a little strange. "Why... can you find things like this?"

"Uh... Originium Technique?"

In the land of Terra, don't ask, the only thing you need to ask is Originium skills.

But this certainly can't be used as an excuse now.

Froststar...she might recognize this item.

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Frost Star's performance just now, and seemed to have some guesses in her heart.

"Okay, you can think of this as some kind of talent of mine, but it's not very stable, and I don't know when and where this talent will be activated." Feng Ling explained seriously, "I know this is still a bit suspicious... But from your perspective, I shouldn't know this item and its corresponding owner."

Froststar nodded.

"Well, next, I'm going to look for the owner of this item. If I'm right, then you can trust me, right?"

"What you said is indeed too bizarre... But as you said, as long as you find the owner of this item in front of me, I will believe you." Frost Star's expression was still very serious. "If you can't do it, it means that your suspicious behavior today cannot be explained... Although I won't regard you as an enemy for this reason, your freedom will be restricted from now on. Do you understand?"

"It's a deal~"

Although satisfying curiosity at inappropriate times can easily come at a price, Feng Ling does not have much instinctive sense of crisis about the current situation.

So there is a high probability that there will be no problem.

The main reason is that the intuition this time is unusual, so Feng Ling also wants to verify what this talent of hers that she still can't figure out is. Or if that doesn't work, it would be nice to figure out some rules.

"Then we can go back... Well, it seems that the owner of this pocket watch is in your settlement."

"it is good."

Feng Ling and Shuang Xing returned directly the same way they came.

Along the way, I didn't encounter any strange things.

When we returned to the entrance of the settlement, things seemed to be busy already.

Carts of all sizes pulled by beasts of burden gathered at the entrance of the integration movement's settlement.

"Everyone is moving very quickly." Shuangxing seemed to know what was on those carts. "The nearest base has delivered the things you want. There are still a lot left. Please wait patiently for a few more days."

What do I want?

Feng Ling reacted immediately.

It's a mineral for trading!

"Since you're passing by, you might as well check it out." Froststar's mouth curled up slightly, "Huh... this won't affect the use of your 'talent', will it?"

"Of course not." Feng Ling took out a pair of thin black gloves from the lining and put them on her hands.

Although Originium mines are generally inactive Originium and are not very dangerous, the first lesson for field operators is to not touch Originium objects or Originium mines with bare hands.

Therefore, such gloves are indeed something that field operators who have to deal with these things need to have on hand at all times.

"Ms. Froststar! We brought these minerals here as requested by Chief Tallulah. Do you want to see them?"

A big brother in charge of transportation asked.

"Let our customers see it directly." Frost Star signaled Feng Ling that she could go forward.

Wind Chimes lifted the tarp of one of the trailers.

What caught the eye was a large piece of very rough, crude source stone ore that looked extremely unqualified at first glance.

"Hmm..." Feng Ling pondered for a while.

If we just visually inspect it, according to Rhode Island standards... this kind of rough ore may be even inferior than usual.

Such stuff doesn't seem to be what Tallulah is confidently calling "good stuff".

How strange...

Wind Chime stroked the mineral with his glove.

Through the gloves, I could feel the rough texture of the ore.

However, after the wind chimes turned and tapped gently, a knowing smile appeared on her face.

"You guys are really brave!"

Feng Ling pinched the rough stone part hard.

The stone fragments on the surface fell off immediately.

Revealing the bright color inside.

This is not a crude source stone ore at all! Instead, it is a large piece of extremely pure source stone ore!

"Hey, hey, hey! Miss, please don't talk nonsense! This is what it looks like when we dug it out. We just didn't know it would have such a high purity. After all, who would dare to dig around in a source stone mine for no reason?" The big brother who was driving said hurriedly.

But he couldn't stop the smug smile on his face.

"How dare those scum who only bully the infected touch such dangerous items that could turn them into infected as well?" The driver said proudly, "As long as they hand in a sufficient amount, we will handle the rest ourselves. Miss, Chief Tallulah wants us to give you all the best minerals!"

"The truck from Rhodes Island was hijacked by the Reunion Movement, but the Reunion Movement did not go all the way. They released the Rhodes Island members and stuffed a truck with junk minerals as a pretense of compensation."

Tallulah walked out slowly from the front door.

"Good morning, Feng Ling. Are you satisfied with this script in exchange for all the items in your car?"

"Yes." Feng Ling's face was full of smiles, occasionally revealing cunning, "I think this is a perfect deal for both of us."

Chapter 42 Patriots

The integration movement's settlements have very strict access control.

So even if Fengling has checked the cargo, these trailers still have to undergo a longer inspection according to safety procedures.

Even if the personnel are fine, the vehicle may have been tampered with without their knowledge.

The general public has no relevant experience and may not even discover it.

Therefore, such caution is necessary.

What's more, the goods are far from arriving, so it is not yet time for Feng Ling to get busy.

So Frost Star continued to follow Feng Ling and complete her journey of searching.

At this point, Feng Ling is very close to its destination.

As Feng Ling moved, the surprise in Frost Star's eyes became more and more intense.

Obviously, in Frost Star's eyes, Feng Ling was always looking for the right route.

This is a wooden house whose foundation is not even solid.

One could even say that the surroundings were quite deserted in this densely populated settlement.

It was eerily quiet.

"It's not really a house... it's just a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Feng Ling looked around the wooden house and made this judgment.

If a dwelling is simply made by roughly bundling together trees and straw and stacking them up, it can be called a wooden house.

Although it was sturdy enough, it was completely unsuitable for living.

And when the wind chime approaches here...

A terrifying noise came from the wooden house.

"Boom!", "Boom!"

Each hit was like a heavy hammer hitting the ground.

The owner of the cabin came out.

He stood there... like a wall.

In Fengling's eyes, this giant, who was beyond the ordinary level of "huge" and "burly", was standing there wearing a solid helmet and heavy armor.

The pointed horns on its head are somewhat similar to the antlers of the Elafia tribe.

But there is absolutely no way that the Elafia people would look like this, no matter how much they mutated.

He makes people feel instinctively that he is a monster in the literal sense.

There is a sense of "decay" and "collapse" about this giant.

It seems like I have lived for a very long time, but... this long life is about to come to an end.

He seems to be... from the Sarkaz [a broad term for demons] clan?

"Ok?"

Perhaps it was too obvious, Feng Ling also noticed that she seemed to have learned something beyond her vision.

Some information cannot be obtained by eyesight alone.

"Why are you here?"

The giant spoke.

The one asking is Frost Star.

Although the voice was strange and hoarse, with very unnatural pauses and punctuation, it still gave people a sense of heaviness.

"I'm not looking for you. It's her who's looking for you." Frost Star pushed the wind chime towards the giant without saying much.

Frost Star's tone was a little strange.
