Chapter 7 Waiting for an Opportunity
Penguin Logistics, for some unknown reason, seemed to have made a lot of money during the recent year of Lungmen turmoil, even having enough money to move its office location to a very magnificent office building in the city center. But for some unknown reason, the dormitory was still such a small pigeon coop.
Looking at Penguin Logistics' huge billboard outside, Li Lin developed a subtle resentment towards the boss. You're already so rich, why don't you make the Penguin Logistics dormitory a bit bigger? Or simply build an employee dormitory building or something, good for you, good for me, good for everyone. At the very least, don't let two people live together; can you take Lappland out? It's really becoming unbearable.
Glancing at Penguin Logistics headquarters and greeting the staff inside, Li Lin walked into the conference room to face the legendary representative of Rhodes Island.
Li Lin had heard of this organization, Rhodes Island.
Heard their predecessor was once a medical organization with a very wide scope, but after splitting due to certain reasons, the staff specializing in Oripathy broke off and established Rhodes Island, this mobile hospital. It possessed what could be said to be the world's most outstanding Oripathy treatment technology; inside, there were not only children of dignitaries harmed by conspiracies, but also Oripathy patients met on the road with nowhere else to go.
To some extent, their political influence was very high, and as a large mobile hospital, the personnel within Rhodes Island were not only normal people but also some Oripathy patients. This made their strength very formidable. But on the other hand, it was also limited to their aspect as a treatment organization.
Their strength was only strength in an organizational sense; they still couldn't resist state machinery. This was also the reason they sought cooperation.
However, a role like Rhodes Island didn't need to get involved in national politics.
They were a respected Oripathy mobile hospital, with various children of high officials and civilian patients inside, enjoying a good reputation in various fields; Li Lin had even seen some people with dreams submitting resumes to Rhodes Island. Such an organization, unless absolutely necessary, wouldn't need to get involved in political confrontations at all. Unless the reason for them to join in involved something for which they would sacrifice everyone without hesitation.
But a mobile hospital, did it really have such a goal? They weren't some mercenary organization, nor some cooperative organization; why must they wade into these muddy waters ? Li Lin pushed open the conference room door with such confusion.
Then he immediately saw a Lupo little girl wearing a red robe, her expression seemingly somewhat regretful.
The little girl squatted on the chair, hugging her knees, glanced at Li Lin who came in pulling the door, wagged her tail, considered it a greeting.
"Red, one of Rhodes Island's representatives, hello."
"…Hello?"
Isn't this just a Lupo little girl? How could she make Texas show that kind of expression?
Looking at the little girl in front of him wearing a red dress, her expression inexplicably very dejected, Li Lin thought somewhat strangely.
And if she said she's one of Rhodes Island's representatives, then in other words, there's another representative? Just as Li Lin was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open by a hand. A girl with short, spring-onion-green hair and an indifferent gaze walked in holding a stack of files, nodded at Li Lin sitting on the chair, considered it a greeting.
"I am Kal'tsit, Rhodes Island representative."
This girl, who looked somewhat excessively young, nodded at Li Lin, then sat down on the chair, slapped the files in her hand onto the table with an imposing manner , her emerald green eyes looking suspiciously at Li Lin.
"You are Penguin Logistics' Prophet? Then let's get straight to the point "; I need you to help me retrieve this item, then escort it safely to Rhodes Island. Choosing Penguin Logistics was strongly advocated by the other two parties, not our request. However, I still hope you can treat this activity as a major challenge you have never encountered before. I know your track record is very brilliant, but this time it might be quite different. Be prepared."
"…"
Does this person not know how to talk?
Looking at the girl who sat down on the chair and rattled off a bunch of things on her own, Li Lin raised his eyebrows somewhat surprisedly.
And when his gaze shifted to the shoulder of this girl calling herself Kal'tsit, seeing the fine, protruding fragments there, Li Lin suddenly knew why this person was so foul-mouthed . Li Lin still remembered the various concurrent symptoms of Oripathy very clearly; one part was nerve compression, leading to increasing irritability in daily life.
Since she's a patient, then there's nothing to blame. Looking at the girl sitting on the chair seemingly waiting for his reply, Li Lin smiled tolerantly. Then he took the densely handwritten files above and began reading the data on them. But the smell emanating from those handwritten files and texts made Li Lin frown continuously, feeling something wasn't quite right.
"I haven't heard of any requirement to confront other Oripathy patients or official personnel."
"It's just a record, better safe than sorry ."
Kal'tsit sat on the chair, saying flatly, as if talking about a trivial matter.
"Chernobog has been on fire everywhere recently due to Catastrophe problems, criminal activity is rising sharply; we are not sure if we can get out safely. We might even have to face those crazed criminals, and even those government workers who have despaired and want to seize the opportunity to make a fortune."
"Didn't they say Chernobog's transfer was very smooth?"
"With Eden's technology, of course it's very smooth. But Eden's consumption doesn't arise from thin air. That technology requires a large amount of funds, manpower, and material resources. Or rather, the people of Ursus need this device to necessarily consume such things. Those crazy higher-ups treat Oripathy patients as disposable; the things we have to face are very complex, whether it can be resolved in a week is still an unknown. I suggest you and your companions act immediately; time is short."
"Wait a moment, you mean we actually don't have passage permits, and then have to go to some inexplicable place in a chaotic area without contacting political forces, a place even Ursus officials are unwilling to disclose, to help you retrieve something, and the reward is four million?"
"Yes, is there any problem?"
"…"
The problem is huge, okay?
Looking at the woman with a matter-of-fact expression, Li Lin thought to himself.
"Xianxia World Game Producer"
