As soon as Miss White Wolf got the sign, she turned around and was about to leave. She wanted to leave this embarrassing place immediately, but she felt her hand being grabbed by a warm little hand.
Miss Wolper whispered, "You don't take the task?"
The White Wolf then realized that he had almost made another mistake, but the young lady deliberately lowered her voice, thus avoiding a second embarrassment.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much." White Wolf responded in a low voice. The precious kindness between strangers made her feel warm in her heart.
The two of them were communicating in low voices as if they were speaking in secret codes, but what Bai Lang didn't know was that many people in the hall were lowering their voices and pricking up their ears to eavesdrop on their encrypted communication.
"So what type of task do you need?" asked the young lady.
"Well, is there a less difficult task?" Bai Lang thought that since he was a newcomer, it would be better to find a safe task first.
"There are many low-difficulty ones. Are there any other conditions?"
"I want a higher reward."
There seemed to be a chuckle coming from behind, but Miss White Wolf was so focused on what was happening in front of her that she didn't pay much attention.
"This kind of mission is rare." Miss Wolper rubbed her forehead with a headache, "I want one that is less difficult and has a higher reward."
After hearing what the other party said, Bai Lang suddenly felt that his request seemed very stupid.
She was about to lower her terms when Miss Wolper suddenly said, "You've asked the right person this time. I have an exclusive tip."
"Please, please tell me." White Wolf lowered his voice excitedly.
"Then listen carefully." Miss Wolper cleared her throat and whispered, "Escort the messenger Angelina to the Natural Disaster Research Institute in Iron City to deliver a document. Miss Angelina is willing to take half of her reward as a bounty. This document is important intelligence about the natural disaster. I don't even know how much the bounty will be."
"Yes, yes, I accept it. When does the mission start?" White Wolf rubbed her hands excitedly. She really made a lot of money this time. The Iron City was on the way to Tremont. Not only did she achieve part of her goals, but she also earned a bounty. No matter how she thought about it, she would not lose.
"You will see your employer at the entrance to the hall tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I won't disturb you from your work. Thank you very much." Perhaps her tone was too sincere, and Miss Wolper on the opposite side blushed at her praise.
The White Wolf turned away from Miss Wolper's workbench.
The hall at this moment gave her a strange feeling, but she couldn't tell what it was. She looked around puzzledly. Everyone was busy with their own things. There was an uncle named Fengti next to her who was staring at the corner of the table seriously, thinking about life.
It seems that I was overthinking it, she thought.
After calming down, White Wolf happily walked out of the gate of the Hunter's Guild. As soon as she left, the hall was as if the seal had been lifted, and it was immediately filled with a joyful atmosphere, but Miss White Wolf didn't know this.

Volume 1: Chapter 8 Angelina
Miss Angelina is a messenger from Syracuse.
More than half a month ago, a small natural disaster occurred in the mountains and forests south of Karen City. She received the task of investigating the natural disaster and sent an on-site investigation report to the research institute in Cast Iron City.
As she didn't have enough funds, she found a temporary receptionist job in the Bounty Hunter Guild.
Then came the scene this afternoon.
Angelina is now very nervous because the task she posted is actually a "fake task" certified by the union, that is, a private commission.
Although she said she would pay the beautiful Miss White Wolf "half of her own reward", she was not sure how much it would be. What if her reward was too little and the other party felt cheated after getting her share?
I will apologize tomorrow.
But would an apology be enough? Maybe Miss White Wolf was really short of money and she could have found a better job.
Angelina, you are such a bad fox!
She couldn't sleep at night, and lay in bed looking at the ceiling in distress, when suddenly an idea came to her mind.
Dessert! Would Miss White Wolf like dessert?
Of course, who doesn't like dessert? It's so sweet that you feel like you're floating in the air!
Miss Angelina quickly finalized her plan to buy her favorite dessert to apologize to Miss White Wolf.
……
On the other hand, White Wolf went to bed early after returning from the Hunter's Guild. In order to leave a good impression on her employer, she got up early the next day and began to pack her clothes.
Since it is a long-distance escort mission, some details must be taken into consideration. The first is the breast wrap. If it is not wrapped properly, it will cause pain. She has experienced this deeply in recent times.
Next came combing her hair and tailing. These two time-wasting steps made her a little impatient, but other than that, everything else was fine. Since her own quality was high enough, she felt that she would not have to worry about things like cosmetics in the future.
The clothes were the same as yesterday, still a combination of black trousers and a gray windbreaker. Bai Lang tightened the belt, looked at himself in the mirror, and found that he was more and more satisfied.
She couldn't help but put her face close to the mirror and murmured:
"Mirror, mirror, tell me who is the most handsome Rupert in the world..."
But before the magic mirror could give any feedback, she was overwhelmed by the feeling of shame.
How embarrassing! I feel so childish!
She turned on the faucet to wash off the blush on her face, then looked around guiltily, as if to confirm whether anyone had seen this embarrassing scene.
But she must be the only one in the room, and doing so would seem like an attempt to forcibly seek psychological comfort.
After this little episode, White Wolf no longer wasted time. She packed her backpack in just a few minutes. After all, she didn't have anything to bring except food and weapons.
Well, it's time to say goodbye to this hotel.
In a small roadside shop, Bai Lang bought something to fill her stomach, then quickly walked towards the Bounty Hunter Guild. Her employer was supposed to be waiting for her near the guild.
There were not many people at the union entrance in the morning, but a figure pacing back and forth caught her attention.
Isn't that Miss Wolper from yesterday?
Yesterday, because of the table between them, Bai Lang just thought that Miss Wolper was not very old, but now she clearly looks like a high school student.
Alas! At such a young age, we have already started to be busy with life. No matter where we are, there are people who have a hard time.
Seeing that there was no one who looked like his employer nearby, Bai Lang stepped forward and said hello:
"Hello again, Miss Wolper. Thank you so much for yesterday."
Miss Wolper was startled by the sudden greeting. She was thinking about how to apologize and did not notice the approach of the white wolf.
Hearing the other party still thanking her, Angelina blushed and lowered her head and said, "Ah, you're welcome. Actually, actually... I'm sorry."
White Wolf was a little confused.
What happened? Why didn't she understand?
Miss Wolper did not let her doubts last too long, and she nervously explained the whole situation.
Bai Lang was not angry. Cast Iron City was where she was going anyway. Earning commission was just a by-product. As long as there was commission, it was enough. She didn't care how much it was.
She originally wanted to say directly that she didn't care, but when the words came to her lips, some bad ideas suddenly came to her mind.
It's not her fault, Miss Wolper looks so cute with her blushing face as if she has done something wrong.
So, Miss White Wolf frowned, gently pinched her chin and said, "Is that so? I didn't expect this at all."
Angelina panicked and apologized helplessly, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I, I was wrong."
White Wolf said thoughtfully: "But I got up very early this morning to prepare, and I have wasted a lot of time. Don't you have any compensation for it?"
"Ah! Yes, yes, I am willing to compensate you." Angelina lowered her head, waiting for the other party's verdict resignedly.
"What's your name?"
"Angelina."
The frost on Miss White Wolf's face suddenly melted. She bent down and said with a smile, "Well, little Angelina, on the way to Cast Iron City, you can call me sister, okay?"
"Uh-huh?"
Angelina opened her eyes wide and looked at Miss White Wolf with disbelief. As she smiled, her face became redder and redder.
"You, are you still willing to go to the Iron City with me?"
"Of course, why not."
"You're not angry?"
"I'm sorry, little Angelina. You're so cute, I couldn't help but make a joke. No, can you forgive this bad sister?"
"Sister is not bad."
Miss White Wolf's eyes narrowed into crescents: "Little Angelina, I promise to bring you to Iron Castle safely."
……
In a taxi outside Karen City, Angelina was pointing at the map and explaining the route planning to White Wolf.
"Why do we have to go this way? Although the straight-line distance is very short, the road in the mountains must be difficult to walk on. Besides, there is a rift valley here, which should be difficult to pass through."
Angelina had anticipated what White Wolf would say, and she explained with great excitement:
"Because of my Originium skills, I can make our bodies lighter, and then we can jump over the big cracks in a flash. The terrain will not affect us at all."
Is there such a source stone technique? Wouldn't it be very convenient to do anything? Miss White Wolf was filled with curiosity.
The taxi stopped at the end of the road. In front of us was a continuous forest that extended eastward into Casimir.
In fact, the reason why Karen City is remote is largely due to this huge mountainous area, which cuts off the connection between Karen City and central Colombia. The roads in the mountains are very dangerous, and adventurous bounty hunters and smugglers are frequent visitors to this forest.
White Wolf and Angelina followed the mountain path into the jungle and began their journey.
Volume 1: Chapter 9 Camping
At the beginning, White Wolf and Angelina had endless topics to talk about. They talked about their respective adventures, the local delicacies, and the small animals jumping around in the forest or some new and strange plants.
By the afternoon, the two of them talked much less. After all, they had been walking non-stop for seven or eight hours and their energy was not enough.
White Wolf muttered to herself that if she were on Blue Star, she would have collapsed to the ground and couldn't move. But as a Terran, she was just feeling tired now. It was unbelievable.
The sun gradually set, and the mountain road under their feet had long disappeared. After a day of trekking, the two people had really gone deep into the forest.
White Wolf estimated that it would be dark in another hour, so he suggested finding a place to set up camp.
Angelina immediately expressed her agreement. Her physical condition was much worse than that of Miss White Wolf, who had grown up practicing swordsmanship, and her legs had already become sore.
The two chose a camping site next to a huge rock. The rock was more than two meters high, half of it was embedded in the mountain and half of it was exposed outside. It could effectively block the cold wind at night.
After deciding on the location, White Wolf saw Angelina take out the tent and start operating it skillfully.
"Have you ever been camping before?"
"Well, this is a necessary skill for a messenger."
"Aren't you scared to camp alone?"
“It was a little bit at the beginning, but now I’m used to it.”
As night fell, the two men built a bonfire outside the tent and continued their conversation while eating dry food.
Bai Lang thought that she could barely be considered a messenger, but she was obviously not as professional as Miss Angelina. She asked curiously, "What is the job of a messenger like?"
“It’s quite tiring, often requiring long journeys, and encountering unpredictable situations.”
"Unforeseen circumstances?"
"Well, the messengers and recipients are unpredictable, the requests are varied, and even the packages may contain strange things."
"It sounds complicated."
"It's actually very easy to get used to it, but as a messenger, you have to work very hard. There's a saying in my hometown Syracuse: 'A messenger who doesn't run fast enough will be blown down by the wind.'"
White Wolf was a little confused: "It seems that being a messenger is not good. Why should I be a messenger?"
"I enjoy delivering letters, Miss White Wolf."
"Call my sister."
"Okay." Angelina smiled sweetly, "Sister Bai, the letter contains people's expectations. We will always be separated like stars, with a long distance between each other. If we can't get news about each other, we will definitely be disappointed."
White Wolf understood what the other party meant.
Due to the interruption of natural disasters, messenger is a difficult but indispensable profession on the continent of Terra.
