Chapter 234 It's Me
Jiang Mian paused for a moment, then said, "It's me."

"Hello, hello, Bu Mian, I am Bai Xu." The white tiger beastman happily grasped Jiang Mian's hands, his gaze only showing appreciation for her talent, nothing else.

Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Hello."

And so, Yan Ting left.

Jiang Mian became a researcher working alongside Bai Xu.

"This is our ongoing research; let me show it to you." Bai Xu led Jiang Mian on a tour.

We encountered many orcs along the way.

Their first reaction upon seeing Jiang Mian was: "Sleepless! Sleepless!"

Jiang Mian belatedly realized that they seemed to recognize her identity as Bu Mian rather than as Jiang, a special agent of the Imperial Research Institute.

Jiang Mian thought for a while and seemed to understand.

Because she had previously published many articles on the cloud network under the pseudonym "Sleepless" about how orcs treat wounds and diseases, and even published articles about which poisons orcs should avoid because their physiques are different from humans.

Some poisons may not be very harmful to humans, but can be fatal to orcs.

Jiang Mian has published them all on the cloud network.

Her original intention in posting these things was simply to earn Star Coins.

Moreover, this was a field she was familiar with, so she didn't feel anything was wrong with it.

But Jiang Mian didn't know that what she posted was extremely useful to the orcs.

That's why these orc researchers had a different attitude towards Jiang Mian.

Jiang Yu was also assigned here. Unlike Jiang Mian's experience, she became an assistant to one of the orc researchers. Moreover, the orc looked at her with a particularly unpleasant expression. It wasn't just one orc who looked at her badly; all the other orcs did too.

Jiang Yu thought that these beastmen hated humans, so it was understandable that he, a human, was hated and despised by the beastmen for coming here.

To save her life, Jiang Yu humbled herself and followed a beastman researcher with great modesty, doing whatever chores the beastman asked her to do.

At this moment, Jiang Yu suddenly felt that what Jiang Mian had done to her was nothing, except for letting the orcs kill her.

After all, Jiang Mian deliberately acted like an 80s generation in the workplace, so others just followed her lead and ignored her; they didn't bully her in any way.

But now, in this orc research institute, all the orcs dislike her and bully her at will. When other orcs see this, they will join in the bullying.

This is simply treating her like she's not human.

Jiang Yu resented Jiang Mian even more because of this.

If it weren't for Jiang Mian, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

"This water is so cold, are you trying to kill me with cold?" An orc in a white coat poured the water that Jiang Yu had just handed him directly over Jiang Yu's head.

Jiang Yu's face stiffened. While the researchers in the Empire only suffered passive-aggressive treatment, here they were directly insulted and harmed.

The water slid down her head, instantly soaking and matting her hair.

After the orc finished pouring the water, he threw the glass at her feet, and it shattered instantly.

The shards of glass also cut her foot, causing it to bleed instantly.

"You lowly humans, clean this up!" the orc coldly commanded. Now the tables have turned. Humans used to boss the orcs around, but now the orcs seem to be harboring a long-suppressed resentment, ready to unleash it on any human they see.

When Bai Xu brought Jiang Mian over, they happened to see this scene.

Jiang Mian paused for a moment. Bai Xu was explaining to her what this area was for when they unexpectedly ran into Jiang Yu.

She remembered Jiang Yu's attempt to kill her, and her eyes narrowed slightly. She wasn't too angry anymore; after all, she knew Jiang Yu wanted to kill her, and she wanted to kill him too—they were simply at odds.

But now that she sees Jiang Yu is having a hard time, she's happy and not so eager to get rid of him anymore. Let him suffer here a little longer.

"What happened?" Bai Xu asked coldly.

The orc quickly stood up and greeted Bai Xu, "Brother Bai, what brings you here?"

Then he explained, "Brother Bai, this human was sent over by Captain Yan of Team Ten today. He said he's a first-level researcher from the Empire and was sent over to be my assistant."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xu glanced at Jiang Yu without any emotion, showing no intention of blaming the beastman. After all, between humans and beastmen, he, as a beastman himself, would naturally be more biased towards beastmen. So he said, "Next time, be careful and clean up the glass on the ground so that others don't step on it."

"Yes, Brother Bai!" The orc quickly nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yu saw Jiang Mian beside Bai Xu, and her expression turned slightly cold. What she found even harder to accept was the gloating look in Jiang Mian's eyes.

"What are you so smug about?" Jiang Yu's pent-up frustration seemed to finally explode. "Aren't you now an assistant to the orcs, just like me? A prisoner of the orcs? What I've been through, you'll be going through too!"

Jiang Mian raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh, who said that?"

Bai Xu treated her with great respect. Apart from still not giving her any means of communication, the orcs were all quite respectful to her. Even some orcs who disliked humans wouldn't give her a hard time out of respect for Bai Xu.

Moreover, Bai Xu specially arranged a room for her and showed her the route to the restaurants.

The research institute naturally has more than one research room, but this research room is in charge of Bai Xu.

They are researching the non-repulsion between orcs and machines; there are many research teams working on this.

Bai Xu was one of them, and they had both cooperative and competitive relationships during that time.

The first one to develop it will definitely receive a great reward from the city lord.

"Keep your humans in check." Bai Xu's face turned cold.

He had been worried that Jiang Mian might feel a sense of kinship, and whether he should give Jiang Mian face and make things easier for this human. But now that he saw that the two seemed to be at odds, he felt relieved.

If he were to speak to that human, his other orcs would likely be unhappy.

Upon hearing this, the orc hurriedly kicked Jiang Yu away, shouting, "Get lost! Hurry up and finish cleaning up the glass and leave!"

Jiang Yu crashed onto the ground, which was covered in shards of glass. The glass quickly embedded itself in her flesh, and she cried out in pain.

The orc ignored her and instead looked at Bai Xu: "Okay, Brother Bai, I will manage her well."

"This is the Sleepless One. He will join our research in the future and will have the same status as me," Bai Xu said simply.

The orc quickly nodded: "I know, I know, hello, Sister Sleepless!"

The orcs' attitude towards Jiang Mian completely changed.

Jiang Yu forgot her pain when she saw this scene. Why?
We're all human, so why does Jiang Mian get better treatment than her?
