reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

As for Bai Ye now, she is learning some common-sense things about this world through the conversations between various operators on the forum.

Bai Ye's understanding of this land is undoubtedly incomplete, or rather, severely biased.

He knew more about his country and city-state than most Terran natives, and possessed many secrets and intelligence, but he was not very familiar with the things that were common knowledge.

He could accurately describe the attack moves of the Ursus Emperor's inner guards, but he knew nothing about which brand of bear-shaped biscuits was the best in Ursus.

Bai Ye himself was well aware of his current situation. He was indeed detached from this land, appearing out of place, which was why that old woman Kal'tsit believed Bai Ye was also an incarnation of some kind of behemoth. At the same time, it was because of this incongruity that Bai Ye was able to find similar common ground with Skadi.

After all, even deep-sea hunters with years of bounty hunting experience cannot integrate into life here once they set foot on land.

Unfortunately, although Bai Ye did learn a lot from the forum, he mostly had fun.

For example, this passage—

"In 1097, my city was rated the most outlandish place on this land. An alarmingly high gun ownership rate, fluorescent lights that were never turned off. Undeniably, that was the reality, yet pilgrims still flocked there in droves. This city always offered a glimmer of hope, whether it was a cactus tart or an ice cream machine, always so close, seemingly within reach, making you willing to risk your life."

This is definitely something a Lateran operator wrote while drunk. Although their gun ownership rate is indeed over 90%, far exceeding any other country on Terra.

Bai Ye shook his head, closed the forum, and then found Rhodes Island's database.

This time, he will be facing a giant beast incarnate from the Great Yan Dynasty, or rather, it is very likely that he will be facing a giant beast incarnate from the Great Yan Dynasty.

Moreover, there is a high probability that it is the one he is looking for.

Before White Night saw a post from prospective operator Ansel complaining that a strange visitor had come to Rhodes Island, who was just wandering around aimlessly all day, and Dr. Kal'tsit didn't seem to care.

Moreover, that guy is unwilling to undergo a physical examination and has been at odds with the medical department recently.

"The most outrageous thing is that she actually tried to persuade us to play mahjong at work."

Ansel naturally wouldn't fall for it, but some of the more unruly guys who tried to slack off got a scolding from the old woman...

Although the post didn't get much attention and at most people mocked those unlucky slacking-off operators, Bai Ye became interested.

He noticed the last sentence of Ansel's post: "However, she seemed to know quite a bit about metal smelting, and after praising Miss Melantha's swordsmanship, she repaired her weapon for her."

These descriptions are quite subtle.

As a former expert player, Bai Ye is familiar with the avatars of the giant beasts in the Yan Kingdom. For example, there is one hidden in Jiangnan of the Great Yan Kingdom. Although she never shows herself, if players enter the secret realm she created and complete the challenge, they can reap considerable rewards.

Bai Ye single-handedly cleared the secret realm dungeon before he was able to catch a glimpse of that person's true form.

However, that person's powers are not suitable for manufacturing weapons; Bai Ye is looking for another one.

Bai Ye once encountered a remarkable person in the northern border region of Da Yan. According to the soldiers guarding the border, she alone could set up twelve towers and five cities outside the Tianji Pavilion, with three thousand mechanisms and a million terracotta warriors.

Some say that she forged a divine weapon for the generals guarding the border, containing a precious light that could repel evil spirits, was indestructible, and was invincible.

Of course, this weapon had nothing to do with Bai Ye. He only knew that after forging the weapon, the extraordinary person left behind a sword-washing pool. Players could gain a buff that lasted for two hours, or one hour, simply by immersing their weapons in the pool.

You can get it once a day.

Before Bai Ye traveled through time, when he was slaying demons in the borderlands, his weapon had just been given this kind of buff.

Then, while killing people, he was transported to another world...

Bai Ye knew that the extraordinary person was actually the incarnation of a giant beast.

The behemoth he had been searching for was the one Ansel had mentioned, and its descriptions and characteristics matched the information Bai Ye knew.

Actually, Bai Ye was quite anxious. The one-handed sword "Arc Light," forged for him by Rhodes Island's craftsmen, was merely a purple-rarity item. That thing was far from keeping up with his current level and strength.

Last time, it shattered directly in the battle with the Black Knight.

Not having a suitable primary weapon is fatal for players, and Bai Ye is not used to it either.

Bai Ye originally wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Great Yan Kingdom to search for giant beasts and see if he could get a weapon. However, such things depend on luck and fate. Although he did have some information about the location of giant beasts, it was already very difficult to find them, let alone successfully negotiate with them.

If both verbal and physical persuasion fail, he will have no choice but to make other plans and take two more difficult paths.

One of the easier options is to venture into the deep sea and see if you can acquire a hunter's weapon; the more difficult option is to conduct archaeological research, where you might unearth a weapon from a previous civilization.

Neither of these two paths is easy to take.

Fortunately, Bai Ye had originally planned to take a trip to the border of Da Yan to try his luck, but unexpectedly, the person he was looking for came to Rhodes Island on his own.

It can be considered a two-way journey.

That's why Bai Ye changed her mind at the last minute and returned to Rhodes Island.

"This company is truly outrageous..."

Bai Ye is increasingly confused about Rhodes Island's origins and why all sorts of strange and unusual people seem to flock there.

Chapter Fifty-Eight

(There's news about the Ring of France DLC, but I wonder when we'll be able to play it.)

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

According to the message from the Rhodes Island messenger, the Rhodes Island main ship is currently docked in the port of Lungmen, which is not far away.

However, Bai Ye did not return immediately. Instead, he changed direction and went to the Chaolong Mountain shops.

Based on the staff's recommendation, Bai Ye finally found a relatively authentic and flavorful Shang Shu hot pot base.

"Why did you buy this? I remember you don't like spicy food?"

Skadi glanced at the bright red packaging and then looked at Bai Ye with some confusion.

"Catering to their preferences."

Bai Ye looked at the base ingredients in his hand, feeling somewhat helpless.

In the game, if you want NPCs to do things for you, you naturally need to increase their favorability towards you, and the easiest way to do this is by giving them gifts.

Bai Ye never imagined that after transmigrating, he, as an "NPC," would one day need to find ways to raise favorability again. The key issue is that even a seasoned player like him doesn't know much about the detailed information regarding the Yan Kingdom figure.

All Bai Ye knew was that she called herself Nian, and was probably the incarnation of some giant beast, skilled in metallurgy, and likely possessed similar powers.

Besides that, Bai Ye had only heard people say that she liked spicy food, especially hot pot.

In fact, the accuracy of these reports needs to be questioned. After all, across six versions, Bai Ye has never heard of any player actually obtaining a weapon crafted by her.

"Tsk, this is the first time I've seen you care about someone so much." Skadi was a little jealous.

Laurentina narrowed her eyes, finding it quite amusing, as Skadi's quiet muttering was rather unusual.

"I need someone's help..."

Skadi didn't seem to care: "If she refuses to help, I'll use my method—in the past, when bounty hunters were disobedient, I would just raise my sword and slash the ground, and all the problems would be solved."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed, Skadi's sword strike could split the earth; if it were to strike a person, what would happen? The bounty hunters naturally dared not disobey.

Unfortunately, Nian wasn't someone who could be negotiated with through force. After all, Bai Ye wanted Nian to forge a weapon for him. If she refused, Bai Ye couldn't force her.

However, on the other hand, Bai Ye actually has a pretty good chance. After all, he has a special identity and special abilities, which is enough to attract the attention of giant beasts.

“You land people are really complicated…” Skadi shook her head after listening to Bai Ye’s explanation.

In her view, it was only natural for hunters to use weapons and for blacksmiths to forge them.

"That's because you're making things too easy..." Laurentina rolled her eyes.

Could it be that all three teams are just like Skadi? No wonder they were needed to make the kills in the final battle—they didn't need to think about anything else, they just had to charge forward.

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

After shopping, Bai Ye and the two deep-sea hunters returned to Rhodes Island.

As Bai Ye approached Rhodes Island, he felt a snowflake on his body getting slightly warm.

Bai Ye took the snowflake out of her pocket and found that it was emitting a faint glow.

This is a gift from Jeragand, the god of the snow realm, to the White Night—a snowflake that will never melt.

Although Yeragand wanted to help Baiye acquire weapons, she wasn't a blacksmith, and her expertise had nothing to do with weapon making. However, she was willing to help Baiye find other behemoths.

This snowflake is like a pointer; whenever a giant beast avatar is near Bai Ye, the snowflake will glow and heat up to alert Bai Ye.

"It seems that non-human beings have indeed set foot on Rhodes Island. I wonder what Dr. Kal'tsit was thinking."

White Night gathered up the snowflakes and then landed on the island.

……

Upon returning to the Rhodes Island main ship, Bai Ye felt somewhat out of place. Although he was the head of an important department on Rhodes Island, he rarely appeared on the main ship, so few people on the Rhodes Island main ship knew him.

Or rather, many new operators don't even know who he is.

Many operators were slightly stunned when they saw him, and then hurriedly greeted him—it was a relatively unfamiliar face, but the style of his uniform was that of a supervisor.

Rhodes Island is not an organization that values ​​hierarchical relationships, but that doesn't stop operators from expressing respect for their superiors.

Bai Ye nodded to them, then stopped abruptly at the corner.

On the other side of the corner, a figure rushed towards him, then suddenly stopped.

Bai Ye looked up and the first thing he saw was a pair of purple eyes. The owner of those eyes was looking at him with curiosity, inquiry, and surprise.

Bai Ye met her gaze and looked at her appearance—white hair, long tail, dragon horns—it was her, the person he had met when he was a player.

However, she was dressed rather casually now, wearing a crop top, hot pants, and a coat casually draped over her shoulders...

Skadi didn't react much to Nian's attire, but Laurentina immediately became alert.

If Bai Ye knew what Laurentina was worried about, he would only laugh at her for overthinking things.

After all, it's rumored that the body temperature of a person born in that year reaches as high as 1400 degrees Celsius; a normal person probably wouldn't have the courage to try such a high temperature...

Previously, Bai Ye jokingly referred to Skadi and Specter as Deepsea Heavy Industry, so this year is a true melting pot.

After exchanging a glance, Nian and Bai Ye immediately sensed each other's extraordinary nature.

The only difference is that Bai Ye knows that Nian is the incarnation of a giant beast, but Nian does not know what Bai Ye is.

The aura emanating from Bai Ye was so numerous and chaotic: the blessing of humanity, the whisper of the wind, the surging waves of the sea, and even the slight chill of the snow-capped mountains.

Although its demeanor resembled that of a giant beast, upon closer inspection, it was completely human. This was something Nian couldn't understand.

After a long pause, Bai Ye slowly spoke, "There is a beast like chalk, with a belly like a large cauldron. There are nine of them, and their horns are like red copper... Why would someone like you come to Rhodes Island?"

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

When Bai Ye and Nian met in the corridor, he was unaware that news of his return had already spread throughout the medical department.

While he was on the deck, an operator spotted him and immediately informed the medical team.

Suddenly, both the office and chat groups became lively.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Foodie

"Good timing. Gavial, you only lost by a hair. If Bai Ye had come, she should have been able to obediently undergo the medical examination, right?"

In the dimly lit office, the white-haired Blood Demon let out a chuckle.

Warfarin's keen interest in the new visitor and her insistence on not undergoing a medical examination suggests that there must be something unusual about her body.

Let me see!

"Clap."

Gavial turned on the office lights.

"Rock climbing is not my forte. Besides, it's your fault for not putting in the effort."

Gavial's expression was not good.

In 2010, this special visitor refused to undergo a medical examination, so Gavial had to make a bet with her. After a draw in betting on alcohol, dice, wrestling, and other competitions, Gavial finally lost in rock climbing.

What a pity.

Gavial had no objection to Nian's visitor; in fact, she greatly admired him, a worthy opponent who could go toe-to-toe with her. Moreover, she had long felt a surge of excitement and a sense of equal footing.

Gavial was angry because Warfarin was clearly a very capable person, yet she stayed behind and didn't take action.

Miss Blood Demon's physical abilities are extremely formidable, but she usually hides them. Coupled with her slender figure and pale complexion, she gives the operators the illusion that Miss Warfarin is frail and weak.

Yes, a weak woman.

It's ridiculous.
