reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

"That thing Titi was talking about must be the Iberian Inquisitor's hand cannon... I can't use that kind of thing," Bai Ye muttered.

Skadi was referring to the weapons carried by the Liberians.

As a player in the past, Bai Ye had also been active near Iberia, but later felt that the borderlands of Yan Kingdom were more fun.

In fact, many players successfully joined the Inquisition in the late game—they were so short-staffed that they had to open it up to players. After joining and passing the assessment, you could get three decent weapons for free—a lantern, a sword, and a hand cannon.

And a rather stylish outfit.

Bai Ye didn't join that organization because he couldn't use hand cannons; he personally felt that swords were more convenient to use.

Unfortunately, fire and light were indeed more effective against Hai Si. So Bai Ye eventually returned to Yan Kingdom to fight the demons.

"But speaking of which, the way those two looked at me just now was a little strange..."

Bai Ye belatedly realized that Mostima's gaze towards him was somewhat strange.

Just then, his personal terminal rang.

Looking down, I saw it was a notification sound from the chat software used internally by Penguin Logistics.

Someone tagged him.

In fact, Bai Ye had already joined the group chat when she stayed at Penguin Logistics.

However, he kept muting it after that—after all, that group was just too lively.

He wouldn't have clicked on it if someone hadn't tagged him today.

Upon opening the group chat interface, Bai Ye was immediately stunned.

The Emperor posted a photo.

The giant stone sculpture of White Night is quite eye-catching in the photo.

"No wonder... so Mostima and the others saw it too..."

Only then did Bai Ye truly understand what it meant to be "dead in the society."

Anyone who didn't know him would really think he was a narcissistic guy, actually building his own statue in the city!

"Ah, Laurentina!"

Bai Ye could no longer hold back.

The timing of this thing's construction is too subtle; it happened right when a group of guests came to the core city. Bai Ye can't even imagine how he appears in everyone's eyes.

Bai Ye simply shut down the terminal and pretended to be dead; he didn't want to see what his old friend from Penguin Logistics had to say to him.

However, he was also reluctant to remove the statue, after all, he had seen the fanatical look in the eyes of the infected when they looked at it.

Tired, destroy it.

Fortunately, Bai Ye knew he wasn't the only one who died, because right next to his statue, there was another one that was still unfinished.

That belongs to Talulah.

Chapter Fifty-Four: A Rational Discussion on Black Stockings

(Wishing all those taking the postgraduate entrance exam the best of luck!)

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

"Does Bai Ye want to buy something to thank his little assistant?"

Laurentina noticed the look in Bai Ye's eyes as he gazed at the statue, his teeth clenched, which made her feel a little uneasy. She couldn't help but speak up, wanting to change the subject.

"I'm also a little troubled..."

As expected, Bai Ye's attention was immediately diverted by Laurentina's words.

In fact, Bai Ye was also thinking about this question. He hadn't expected that a letter from Typing Princess could summon the Pope's personal messenger.

Moreover, the messenger sent was no ordinary person; aside from the staff on her back, she was also a fallen Sarkazan.

In his previous life, Bai Ye had only seen fallen angels twice, which was quite rare.

"I really should thank my assistant properly, but unfortunately I don't know what to give her..."

Bai Ye felt somewhat ashamed.

Looking back now, he realized he knew nothing about Typing Girl. He couldn't say what his assistant's hobbies were, only that she probably followed the typical Lateran tastes—sweets and guns.

Last time, Bai Ye gave her a pair of Lateran Legacy Guns—one made of white ivory and the other of ebony. This time, Bai Ye was at a loss for what to give her.

"How about we go buy some clothes?" Ghost Shark suggested again.

"?? Just clothes? Custom-made?" Bai Ye asked with some doubt.

Compared to the Legacy Gun, the clothes are far too cheap. Even a custom-made outfit from a renowned tailor in Lungmen can't compare to a Laterano Legacy Gun.

The two are not comparable at all.

“No need for customization. As long as you choose it yourself and give it to her personally, she will definitely like it.” Laurentina smiled and shook her head.

Seeing Laurentina's confident tone, Bai Ye couldn't help but believe her.

So he followed Specter to the mall in the core city. Skadi followed behind, swaying along.

"I need to buy a few more sets of stockings."

Ghost Shark looked down at his legs and then sighed softly.

Skadi's ears twitched, and she stepped forward, putting a few items into the shopping cart.

Bai Ye felt somewhat ashamed.

The reason the two of them went through their stockings so quickly was because of him...

"Don't be so impatient next time, you've torn it all up~" Sure enough, Laurentina scolded Bai Ye playfully.

Bai Ye shrugged.

There's really no way around it; nun's habit combined with black stockings is bound to tempt people to commit crimes...

It's just that Terra's stockings were of poor quality.

Speaking of which, Bai Ye suddenly thought of a question.

What kind of material are the stockings on this land made of...? They feel similar to those on Earth.

But Terra doesn't have a systematic petrochemical industry, so how did they manufacture stockings using synthetic nylon...?

The only explanation is that other artificial fiber compounds have been found as substitutes. Once the two worlds merge, it is estimated that this will bring a lot of inspiration to Earth's materials science.

However, this is enough to show that the technology development on this land is indeed ridiculously skewed.

No wonder players have been researching for so long but haven't been able to create gunpowder.

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

Bai Ye, somewhat dazed, took Ghost Shark's advice and bought Typing Girl an outfit, and even inexplicably bought her a pair of stockings...

As Bai Ye walked towards the Rhodes Island building, he felt something was off. He had no experience giving gifts to girls before and wasn't sure if there was anything wrong with doing so.

If only the original president were still here.

At this moment, Bai Ye felt a pang of nostalgia for his friends from the "Libertines' Tea Party" of yesteryear. Among them, the one who had the deepest influence on him was naturally the chairman of the tea party.

She is always full of energy and can make up her mind no matter what the problem is.

Unfortunately, White Night only has Ghost Shark now, and it's hard to know if she's reliable.

……

Lost in thought, Bai Ye arrived in front of the building.

Although there are no players here, there are still many Rhodes Island operators.

Operators passed by Bai Ye, greeting her in hushed tones. Bai Ye was thankful she had tossed the stockings into her inventory immediately after buying them; otherwise, she would have been in serious trouble if the operators had seen them.

Yeah, actually, the society died a long time ago.

After all, such a large statue stands in the center of the core city, so the operators living in the core city will inevitably see it.

Bai Ye walked to his office and went inside.

Sure enough, the Typing Girl was working at the desk that theoretically belonged to Byakuya—then theoretically, because Byakuya had never actually used it.

"Quickly give me something to eat, I haven't eaten anything today." When Bai Ye came in, the typing girl didn't even look up, continuing to busy herself with her own things.

Bai Ye could only sigh that habit is truly a terrible thing.

In the past, every time he returned to Rhodes Island, Typing Girl would complain that the workload was too heavy, and that White Night would run around every day, leaving her to work on Rhodes Island.

But I wouldn't say that now.

It really makes me nostalgic.

……

"Isn't there anything to eat? Bai Ye, don't you always manage to conjure up cakes or something from your pocket?"

Seeing that Bai Ye did not move, Typing Girl raised her head and looked at Bai Ye's hands with some confusion.

"There's no food, but I bought some small things. I don't know if you'll like them..."

Bai Ye took the package out of his inventory and handed it to Typing Girl...

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

"Did you do this on purpose?" Skadi suddenly asked.

She and Ghost Shark sat down beside a windmill, its huge white blades turning slowly and silently.

"You figured it out." Ghost Shark smiled, not denying it.

Skadi calmly looked at Specter: "Although I don't understand it either, I do know that constantly emphasizing and being deliberate will definitely lead to a purpose. No matter how roundabout the hunter is, the hunter's target is always the prey."

Ghost Shark smiled after hearing this.

As expected of Skadi, although she may seem silly and easily fooled, a hunter's intuition is always terrifying.

“I did it on purpose, after all, that child was quite pitiful, and... I felt like I could see my past self in him,” Ghost Shark said slowly.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Bai Ye is a strange guy. If he likes someone, he will definitely pursue her actively and aggressively. But he also has a hard time noticing other people's feelings. He's practically like a block of wood."

Seemingly sensing Specter's thoughts, Skadi suddenly said, "I don't care."

Even though he is now stronger than me, I will still protect him from behind. That's enough.

Ghost Shark paused for a moment after hearing this, then lowered his head.

Pure Skadi, I am no match for you.

Chapter Fifty-Five: The Story of the Typing Girl

"I'm sorry, I really don't know what to give..."

Bai Ye sat down at the desk and handed the stockings to the typist.

"It's nothing... huh?!"

Typing Girl was originally going to be a little arrogant, but she was stunned when she saw what Bai Ye brought. After a while, her face turned red.

"No...shameless!"

But despite saying that, the girl still reached out and accepted the gift.

Bai Ye blinked.

"Look... what are you looking at? I'm just worried about wasting things."

As she spoke, the typist packed the gift, bag and all, into her closet.

Can you tell me about your situation?

Bai Ye sat down next to the typing girl and asked.

He realized he knew absolutely nothing about this seemingly ideal assistant. Perhaps now was a good opportunity.

Typing Girl seems to be upset about the gift that Bai Ye gave her.

Although it was somewhat opportunistic, Bai Ye felt that Miss Ghost Shark's choice of gift was quite appropriate.
