reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Actually, player-versus-player combat started during the open beta.

After the official 1.0 version, the game content was greatly expanded, and PVP became even more interesting.

However, there is no official arena for player-versus-player combat.

Currently, most PVP modes are organized spontaneously by players or guilds.

Simply put, it's about claiming a piece of land and having two people fight inside it. The usual rule is that whoever gets their health down to half first loses. Of course, there are also more "brutal" life-or-death competitions where both skill and life are at stake.

Events organized by clubs and guilds tend to be larger in scale, with a larger area designated to attract more onlookers, and they may even charge admission fees to Terran natives.

The simplest example is when two people get into a fight in the wild and immediately start a PvP battle, where life and death are taken lightly, and if one is not convinced, the other will fight. The loser has to call the loser "Dad," which is jokingly called the "Rakshield Ritual."

However, this mode has long been criticized by players. While flag-planting duels are indeed convenient, if the strength difference between the two is not significant, then after one falls, the other will most likely also be severely injured.

Then he died inexplicably.

It was a real shame to be picked off by a random acidic Originium bug that was just passing by, and to die like that, especially in the group chat.

"Your companion died from Originium Bugs."

What a shame!

……

"I'll have to go to Casimir next time..." Bai Ye closed the forum, lost in thought.

If we're talking about a great place for large-scale PvP, then the Knights' Arena in Kazimierz must be it.

Next year, the next Kazimierz Knights Tournament will be held, and White Night needs to reach a cooperation agreement with them before then.

It probably requires military backing. They can no longer get something for nothing like before.

Chapter Fifty-Two: A Rare Moment of Leisure

The player has disappeared.

Version 2.3 was not the previous intermittent update, but a server shutdown update, so players were naturally kicked out by the Eagle's Foot.

By the time they log on again, the updates here will likely be complete.

The flow of time is different in the two worlds. They may only be offline for a day, but for the world of Terra, it may be half a month or even a month.

Control rests with Luna. While she cannot directly influence the internal workings of Terra, there are certain things she can do.

The native inhabitants of Terra were already used to players disappearing.

The first time you might feel confused and inexplicably scared. The player community is empty, like a silent dead zone devoid of life. But after a while, you get used to it.

Yes, these guys sometimes disappear suddenly while you're chatting, and sometimes they just stand there motionless. They're really a bunch of weirdos.

The White Nights did not become idle just because players logged off. Although the core city lost most of its population, it became increasingly lively due to the growing number of infected gathering there.

It can be said to be full of vitality.

This can also be said to be the dream of the elderly members of the Reunion Movement like Talulah—that the infected have their own home.

It could be said that, with Bai Ye's help, the Reunion Movement infected, who were originally just trying to survive, obtained a mobile city. This city also became the ideal city and spiritual refuge for all the oppressed infected.

Talulah, as well as the other infected who were directly or indirectly protected by White Night, were all incredibly grateful to him.

So—Bai Ye saw his own statue in the city park in the center of the core city…

Yes, it was a huge stone statue meticulously carved by a skilled craftsman among the infected.

—Today, Specter dragged Byakuya and Skadi out for a walk, and Byakuya happened to have some free time, so she agreed. Then, they saw her own statue on the street.

"Huh? That's... Bai Ye! Hehe, how interesting."

Ghost Shark was the first to spot the statue; perhaps due to her sculptor's sensitivity, she was the first to discover it—at least, that's her explanation.

At first, Bai Ye didn't realize what was happening, but as he turned his head and saw the striking statue, he became increasingly confused. It was clearly himself.

Although the stone carving could not fully capture Bai Ye's handsome appearance, the sculptor clearly grasped Bai Ye's temperament and spirit. The statue of Bai Ye, holding a sword in one hand, gazes into the distance with a gentle face but an unwavering gaze. He is both a pioneer and a guardian.

However, that's what everyone else thought, but Bai Ye just felt a little ashamed.

After all, even though he knows he's handsome, what kind of weird play is it to erect himself like a statue? Bai Ye is not a narcissistic person.

Moreover, Bai Ye is still alive!

Why does this statue give the feeling that I am already dead?

"Pah, pah, pah—that's so unlucky!"

Bai Ye stuck out his tongue, but caught the smile on Ghost Shark's face beside him.

Clearly, this guy couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Ahem! Miss Laurentina, did you already know?" Bai Ye asked through gritted teeth.

"What? I already knew what?" Although the smile on his lips was so thick it was almost overflowing, Ghost Shark was still pretending to be stupid.

“Shark…” Skadi was also somewhat puzzled.

Now, anyone who isn't an idiot knows that this guy is absolutely aware of the infected's plan to build the stone sculptures.

"Were you involved too?" Bai Ye guessed immediately.

Yes. This guy calls himself an artist, and his main area of ​​expertise is sculpture; she definitely wouldn't miss an opportunity like this.

Moreover, as Bai Ye's confidante and bedmate, only she could capture Bai Ye's essence so accurately. It can be said that this face is Ghost Shark's masterpiece.

"No wonder you weren't around during the day for half a month straight... Wait, you deliberately dragged us out today too, didn't you?" Bai Ye suddenly realized.

"~" Laurentina hummed a song with a smile, clearly very satisfied with Bai Ye's reaction.

Bai Ye is a rather low-key person by nature, but here his stone sculpture has been erected. The contrast between the two and the expression on Bai Ye's face made the girl very satisfied.

"Tsk——"

Laurentina's smug attitude infuriated Bai Ye. He turned to Skadi and said, "Skadi, you have to help me today."

"Hmm?" Titi was happily munching on her snacks when she tilted her head in confusion.

"You help me subdue her tonight, I'm going to teach her a lesson," Bai Ye said viciously.

"Okay." Titi nodded obediently.

Upon hearing this, Ghost Shark's smile immediately froze.

"This...this isn't right," Laurentina said, looking at Skadi. "We clearly agreed last time that we'd stand together through thick and thin!"

Skadi shook her head: "I'll listen to Bai Ye."

"Ah this..."

Ghost Shark seems to have already foreseen its fate.

This is the price of a joke, isn't it...?

-------------------------------------

After this “trivial” “incident”, Bai Ye became interested and continued to explore the core city with the two girls.

Well, although Bai Ye was indeed the main creator of this ideal city, and even made the city more and more "clean" and livable by his own hands, Bai Ye had never strolled around the city so leisurely.

He was too busy; apart from his first visit here, he hadn't really had a chance to properly explore the city.

The changes are too great.

The old buildings were demolished, and new urban areas were built.

Even Bai Ye hadn't expected that, through the joint efforts of players and infected, this city had become no less prosperous than Lungmen.

Or rather, it happened much faster than he had anticipated.

It's no wonder that the guests and friends who came here for meetings were so shocked by the changes.

In the mall, Bai Ye also saw Madam Wen Yue shopping with Talulah Chen Huijie.

Thinking about it carefully, this consul's wife seems to be quite a formidable person; it's said that her personal hobby is racing cars...

Bai Ye didn't disturb the three of them, but turned and left.

……

"Yo~"

However, other people also approached Bai Ye.

Turning his head, Bai Ye saw a blue-haired fallen angel girl with a red-haired Liberi supervisor.

"Hmm, messengers of all nations from Laterano, have you not left?"

Bai Ye had assumed the messengers had already left, since they needed to return to report to the Pope, but she was surprised to find them still there.

Chapter Fifty-Three: A Reminder from Mostima

The girl named Mostima shook her head after hearing Bai Ye's words: "We plan to leave tomorrow. Before that, we need to meet with Miss Lephne."

"Lepney?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. He didn't react at first, but then he remembered that it was the real name of his assistant, "Typing Girl".

"You're looking for my assistant?" Bai Ye looked at the two Lateran messengers in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.

He actually cared a lot about this typist, after all, she was his capable subordinate. Whether it was the Rhodes Island field operations department or his own affairs, it was thanks to her that things were running smoothly.

Seeing Bai Ye's reaction, Mostima smiled and said, "I see. It seems Miss Lephne has found a very reliable boss... Hmm, it's quite enviable, since neither of my current bosses are very reliable."

Bai Ye tilted his head, then said calmly, "If my subordinate gets involved in some strange incident that prevents her from completing her mission, I'll be in a real headache. After all, I only have one assistant right now, and she holds an important position here."

The two were taken aback for a moment, but Mostima quickly replied with a smile, "It's nothing serious, otherwise it wouldn't be us coming, but those rigid guys from the Lateran Court Notary Office."

Then, she approached Bai Ye and said softly, "Miss Lephne's father works at the Papal Palace. She hasn't been in contact with her family for a long time. This is the first time in many years, so that uncle asked us to check on his daughter's situation."

"This is their private matter, but telling you shouldn't be a problem..."

Mostima has clearly made his own judgment.

After all, the letters sent from there never stopped, but receiving a reply was indeed a first in many years. It is said that the uncle had never been so happy—he ate three cactus-filled egg tarts from the Pope.

"..."

Bai Ye fell silent. He had been wondering why the Typing Girl could send the Pope's messenger from all over the world with just a letter. It turned out there was this connection involved.

So, in a way, the typing girl broke some of her stubborn principles for him?

"Looks like I've accumulated even more debts..."

Bai Ye stroked his chin and sighed softly.

……

"Well then, we'll take our leave now... Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm actually also a member of Penguin Logistics. The Emperor asked me to give you his regards."

Mostima waved and then prepared to leave with her companions.

"Hmm...hmm?" Bai Ye never expected that the messenger from Laterano would actually have connections with the Emperor.

Moreover, this strange Sarkaz is actually a member of Penguin Logistics, something he never saw when he stayed there before. Nor did he hear Exusiai or Texas mention him.

You can ask them next time you meet.

"Let's exchange contact information." Bai Ye stopped her and then left her personal terminal number in his contacts.

Bai Ye looked thoughtfully at what Mostima was carrying on his back as he left.

They were two uniquely designed staffs, one black and one white. Bai Ye had noticed their unusual appearance earlier, which made him wary.

-------------------------------------

"The little bird and Sakota weren't weak at all. Especially that angel lady." Laurentina, who had been following Bai Ye, said softly after the two had walked away.

"You noticed them too? Those two strange staffs." Bai Ye raised an eyebrow.

Ghost Shark shook his head: "Oh, so the vague sense of danger came from the staff..."

As a deep-sea hunter, Specter knows nothing about Originium Arts and has almost zero Originium Arts adaptability, but her sense of danger is indeed very keen.

"The little red bird isn't that dangerous, but the weapon she carries is quite unusual."

Bai Ye recalled the Liberi girl with the rather strange codename, then nodded: "She should have a legacy gun on her, just like my 'Black Pipe'."

At this moment, Skadi suddenly spoke up: "I've seen someone use this weapon on the beach; it's quite powerful."
