Duanjiao is a lucky one. I don't know how many infected people in this world are still struggling in the darkness and despair, unable to wait for the dawn of tomorrow.

Chapter 26 Return

The two of them didn't go very far, that's about ten minutes.

White Wolf felt something was wrong, she only cared about being a good person, and didn't ask Platinum's opinion at all.

She began to feel uneasy, and this uneasiness was continuously magnified as time went by, until it finally reached an unbearable level.

"Platinum, that, I'm sorry, I made my own decision, and I haven't asked your opinion yet."

"My thoughts? Oh, it doesn't matter, I support your approach."

Bai Lang's eyes lit up: "That is to say, would you make the same decision as me?"

"No, according to my behavior habits, I may make some terrible decisions."

"I don't understand, didn't you say you support me?"

"It's two different things." Miss Platinum stopped and said with a smile, "It's because I can't do this that you..."

"What?"

Bai Jin didn't answer, she leaned close to Bai Lang, and gently touched his cheek with her fingers.

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

"You're hurt, and your face is very bad."

"Fortunately, it's not a big deal."

"I didn't protect you well."

After the sentence was finished, not only the white wolf, but Miss Platinum was also stunned. For some reason, she blurted out such words.

Bai Lang blushed, and said incoherently: "No, there's no need, thank you, thank you, Miss Platinum, you really helped me a lot."

Then, there was a strange silence between the two, and neither of them spoke, and it continued like this until they returned to Cast Iron City.

The two first went to the Rhode Island station to report to work. Naturally, the mission ended in failure. Frank didn't care about the result. Instead, he felt guilty because of the white wolf's injury, and hurriedly asked the medical staff to take the white wolf to treat him.

In the infirmary of Rhodes Island, White Wolf experienced the medical origin stone skill for the first time.

The Rhodes Island operator who helped her treat her was named Fu Rong. A gentle green light was released from the opponent's hand, floating on her injured arm and wrist. After just a few minutes, the injury recovered as before, with no trace left. Not left.

Miss Furong helped prepare another dose of medicine, watched the white wolf take it, and then asked the white wolf to go back early and take a good rest.

Miss White Wolf took the doctor's advice very seriously. After the trauma was healed, she immediately felt a strong sense of drowsiness, and if she kept going, she might fall asleep standing up.

So, she sent a message to Platinum on her mobile phone, then left the Rhode 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 after nine o'clock in the morning the next day.

When the pale winter sun shone into the house, the white wolf, who had slept in a mess, woke up hungry.

I don't know if it's because she slept too long or because she took the medicine from Dr. Furong, but she feels sticky now, and she just washed it before going to bed yesterday.

Enduring the hunger in her stomach, she opened the bathroom door and shut herself in.

Today's cast iron city is very windy. Through the window of the bathroom, White Wolf can see the dead trees outside the window being shaken by the strong wind. It must be very cold. This contrast makes her take a hot bath. Gained a wonderful sense of satisfaction.

It's like double the pleasure.

However, her good mood didn't last long. Inadvertently, she noticed the origin stone crystal on her thigh, which seemed to be several times larger than before!

White Wolf knew very well that he was a mildly infected person. The last time he checked, that is, when he first arrived in Cast Iron City, the origin stone crystal was only the size of a mung bean, and now it is almost the size of a fingernail.

During this period, the only thing she did that could aggravate the Originium disease was that special Originium skill.

According to Ms. Yattley, excessive use of Originium skills will aggravate the condition, and she drained all the source energy at one time, basically relying on overdrawing her body to barely survive, which also fits the description of excessive use.

The safest way should be to abandon that kind of power, but White Wolf understands that he cannot do this. Chaos and danger are the norm for Terra, and she cannot guarantee that she will never encounter difficult enemies.

Then use it as little as possible, and use this origin stone skill as the last hole card, and give it a name first.

Yateli fire?

Not so good, sounds a little weird.

Different fire?

No, no, this is too embarrassing.

Well, the flames come from Yateli, and Yateli is Drake, that is, the dragon family, so it is called Dragon Flame?

I still feel strange, ah, I'm so annoying, call it whatever you want, anyway, I don't need to pronounce the name before making a move.

By the way, this origin stone skill was created by imitating Yatley's flame. If I can get in touch with other higher-level elemental powers, can I also use it to imitate it?For example, the power of thunder can be imitated by using an ordinary electric attribute source...

The power of thunder?

Miss Bailang covered her cheeks depressedly, why did she think of such a name in secondary school again?

She thought about it for a while, and felt that things should not be as simple as she thought. The reason why she was able to touch Yateli's flame was because the other party cooperated actively and had no intention of hurting her. , a single 'Dragon Flame' can burn her to ashes.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Bai Lang followed his thoughts just now and checked the weapon.

This time, the weapon was only slightly damaged. It seems that the old blacksmith in the town did not deceive her. This sword is indeed a good thing, at least it can support her to perform dozens of missions like the day before yesterday.

The ammunition of the gun was emptied by her when she was fleeing for her life before, and White Wolf is not keen on finding ammunition.

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

The last battle has fully exposed its disadvantages. Although it is extremely useful when facing a single enemy, it will have little effect when there are many enemies. If the blunderbuss in her hand at that time were of the type that could be fired in bursts, she would definitely not be defeated. Those bounty hunters were cornered.

But if he just threw it away, White Wolf would be reluctant. Anyway, this is also Rutland's 'black technology', so he might as well keep it as a collectible.

After checking the equipment, Bai Lang finally remembered that he was still hungry.

Time to go out and buy food.

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

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

Fortunately, the hotel has special service items for this kind of guests.

White Wolf quickly found a card titled "Special Services" on the bedside table. Various services were listed on the card, such as meal delivery service, wake-up service, travel service, etc. is a string of phone numbers.

Why name it a special service?Could it be that there is something abnormal?

White Wolf turned over the jammed paper and studied it for a while, but found nothing unusual, so he directly dialed the food delivery number above.

After eating, she lay idly on the bed in a daze, and suddenly thought of Miss Platinum.

What is the other party doing now?Are you the same as yourself, lying in bed and sleeping?Really boring.

Otherwise, call and ask, Miss Platinum is in the same hotel as me, two people can play chess together, it's better than staying alone,

She took out her mobile phone and dialed Platinum's number, and it only took a second for the other party to connect.

"White wolf?"

"Well, it's me." After making the call, Bai Lang didn't know what to say again.

"How are you resting?"

"It's okay, it's all right, where are you?"

"I'm negotiating the salary of the task with the people of Rhodes Island."

"salary?!"

"That's right, Rhodes Island has submitted a report to that company, and our mission has been completed. Would you like to come and have a look?"

"Go, I'll be there right away, see you later." White Wolf hung up the phone.

When it comes to salary, she will not be sleepy. What she needs most now is money. If there is no income, the hotel will not be able to afford it.

Although it was a bit cold outside, but with the physique of the Terra people, it was no problem to go out wearing a skirt. Not wanting to go out and not being able to go out were completely two different things.

She left the hotel in a hurry, crossed two streets and an intersection, and arrived at the institute.

Chapter 27 Rhode Island's Commission

White Wolf came to the Rhodes Island office with ease, and was told that the commission had to be discussed in the conference room.

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

Standing at the door, you can hear someone talking inside. Since the sound insulation effect of the room is very good, the voice sounds vague, and it can only be roughly judged that it seems to be the person in charge, Frank.

White Wolf knocked on the door.

The vague voice stopped, the door of the meeting room opened a crack, and a dog's head poked out.

Spotted saw the white wolf outside the door, and gave her a wink to signal her to go in quickly.

This is a conference room that can be called cramped. Except for the direction of the door, the other three sides are closely arranged old bookshelves, and all kinds of documents are piled up on it.

In front of the meeting room is Frank's work table, the legs of which are painted off, and it looks like a very old thing. There is only one sofa on the opposite side of the work table against the wall, and Miss Platinum is sitting on it and taking a nap.

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

Ever since the white wolf came in, Frank had been observing in secret, and seeing the other's expression changed, he sighed heavily:

"Miss Bailang, forgive me, the conference room is like this, we can't help it, the company is poor!"

Rhode Island is still poor?

One of your reagents has been robbed outside, okay?

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

Spots standing aside looking at the phone suddenly shivered.

Frank continued to pour out his bitterness:

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

"Not to mention the squandering of those research departments. These researchers, one by one, alas! They are not in charge of the family and don't know the price of daily necessities!"

"Think about why our resident in Columbia is located in Cast Iron City. Isn't it good to build it in Tremont? There is really no money for that."

White Wolf felt that Frank, who was frowning, would feel better if he lit a cigarette.

She is very puzzled now, why the other party suddenly said these things, it has nothing to do with her.

I just came here to receive a commission.

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

It must be all right!How could a company as big as Rhodes Island find a reason to deduct her salary.

She said relaxedly: "I am deeply sympathetic to your company's situation, can we now talk about the commission agreed before?"

"Yes, of course." Frank asserted quickly, and then showed a flattering smile, "That is, in terms of time, can we delay it for a while."

Hearing the other party's words, Bai Lang's eyes widened in surprise. She never expected that Rhodes Island would really be in arrears of wages. This task is not easy. If she is a little careless, she will really explain it in it .

Her eyes quickly turned from surprise to seriousness, and then to calmness again, without the slightest sign of anger, she just asked lightly, "Is this the Rhodes Island's way of doing things?"

Frank trembled in his heart, and he was so anxious that he couldn't imagine that the reputation of Rhodes Island would almost be ruined by himself one day.

"Listen to my explanation." Frank said with a sad face, "This year, the snowfall in the Casimir area was early, and the supply of the ship can only be postponed. It is really impossible to get such a high commission in a short time."

"That's it." The white wolf nodded noncommittally. In winter, snowfall in various places is an uncontrollable event, and it is indeed possible that the supplies will just be stuck.

But what about the high commissions?Platinum negotiable?

She glanced at the sleepy Platinum, and planned to ask Frank directly: "I remember we didn't discuss the commission amount before."

Frank's face immediately collapsed, and he looked at White Wolf with an almost desperate expression: "Miss Platinum thinks that at least two standard commissions should be given."

The 'standard commission' here is actually not simple. Miss Platinum is a high-level assassin in the League of No Harness, and she came to Columbia to perform a mission because she signed a contract with Kelsey.

When calculating the commission, Frank felt that he could move out of the contract and use the above terms to save part of the cost. However, a terrible thing happened just like that.

After checking, he found that Platinum's contract turned out to be a special task contract, and entrusting the other party's help by himself was completely out of the contract. .

Not only that, Ms. Platinum also specifically stated that the white wolf contributes the most in the task, and when the salary is distributed, it is reasonable for the other party to have more than herself.
