reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

“If I were to intervene, you wouldn’t want to see that situation either, would you?” Warfarin said softly.

She wasn't joking. After all, if the Blood Demon Lady needed to stop hiding her strength, it meant Rhodes Island must be facing a major crisis.

Then she laughed again: "However, things are different now, after all, we have Bai Ye. It shouldn't come to that."

"You have so much faith in him?" Gavial scratched his head.

Bai Ye's return gave everyone in the medical department hope.

Because Blood Demon Warfarin once said, "If Bai Ye, the head of the field operations department, were here, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble..."

Although Warfarin doesn't have a great reputation, and her colleagues know that this Blood Demon is unserious, everyone understands that she wasn't joking when she said that.

Now, Manager Bai Ye is finally back.

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

Besides the medical department, another person on Rhodes Island couldn't sit still either.

She is Kal'tsit, of course.

The old woman didn't expect Bai Ye to suddenly return at this time, and to come directly to Nian.

Or rather, it was because of their auras that Nian and Bai Ye found each other.

She put on her coat and hurried toward the passageway where the two had met.

This is like a collision between Mars and Earth! If the two of them clash, Rhodes Island alone cannot withstand two behemoths.

I'm afraid even Longmen wouldn't be an option.

……

“Such a standard Yan accent… Hmm, wait, do you know me?” Nian’s eyes lit up first, and Bai Ye spoke in the Yan language.

However, she was then surprised by what Bai Ye had just said.

"There was a beast with a belly like a large cauldron."

Its number is nine, resembling red copper.

"Time changes color, days change weather"

Bai Ye was referring to her true form.

On this land, there are few who can recognize one's true nature at a glance. And even fewer who can utter these words. Because it is a secret.

The doctor from Rhodes Island is one, but I didn't expect to find a second one here.

To be honest, I can't understand the people in front of me.

Although he possessed a unique aura, indicating he was no ordinary person, he was also excessively young, making him utterly insignificant compared to that doctor…

"Are you from the Si Sui Tai?" Nian frowned slightly. Those guys were quite annoying. She didn't like dealing with people from the Great Yan government.

"No, I have no connection with the official institutions of the Great Yan Dynasty. I am Bai Ye, the head of the Rhodes Island field operations department, and also the head of the Rhodes Island branch."

As Bai Ye spoke, he pointed to his uniform and name tag.

Then, he looked at the agents who were slowly gathering around him, and said to Nian, "How about we go somewhere else to talk?"

“Okay.” Nian nodded. Since Bai Ye wasn’t an official of Yan Kingdom, she had no objections.

……

Nian never expected that Bai Ye would choose the cafeteria as the place.

In a corner of the Rhodes Island cafeteria, a screen separated a small private room, and Bai Ye led Nian inside.

Once inside, she could no longer hear any sounds from outside. She wasn't surprised, assuming Bai Ye had used some special method.

"The pot and ingredients are all ready," Horn said, helping Byakuya carry out the hot pot table.

"You were prepared all along?" Nian felt like she had been tricked.

"I started preparing as soon as I got back to Rhodes Island, but I didn't expect to run into you so soon."

As Bai Ye spoke, he took out the hot pot base from his inventory.

"This fragrance—"

Nian's nose twitched; clearly, she had sensed the unique way Bai Ye prepared the ingredients.

"This is authentic Shangshu cuisine. You even went there specifically?" Nian couldn't help but ask.

Bai Ye shook his head: "These were purchased in Lungmen."

"Damn it, why can't I buy it myself in Lungmen!"

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on a bag of ingredients in Bai Ye's hand, clearly her appetite had been whetted... This guy really has some tricks up his sleeve.

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

The soup base was put into the pot, water was added, and the ingredients were arranged together in an orderly manner.

Nian looked at the ingredients laid out in front of him, then stared at Bai Ye for a long time, before glancing at the two deep-sea hunters beside Bai Ye.

Then she said, "You want me to forge a sword."

The tone of the year was not one of doubt, but rather of certainty.

“How come you see?”

“You should have a broken sword on you… There aren’t many weapons in this world that can bear your power. Weapons made by ordinary people cannot meet your needs.” A smile appeared on Nian’s face.

Bai Ye said with a hint of helplessness, "As expected, you are a very skilled blacksmith."

As he spoke, he took out the broken sword from the box, "Arc Light".

Previously, this thing was always stored in my inventory.

Logically speaking, the year shouldn't be known.

But now she's said it.

"Haha, that way, we're even!" Nian laughed happily.

Yes, it's even.

Then, the water in the pot began to bubble and boil, a pot of red soup glistening with chili oil, steaming hot...

"Eat first, then we'll talk."

Looking at the hot pot, Nian rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Bai Ye, however, looked troubled.

Oh no, he forgot to make a hot pot with two broths!

He really can't eat spicy food!

Chapter Sixty: Who Are We Going to Chop?

"PRTS, help me locate Supervisor Bai Ye's position."

PRTS is connected to the Rhodes Island main ship, and Rhodes Island's database stores the biometric signals of all operators. Therefore, PRTS can accurately identify the identity of each operator.

"Access permissions are sufficient. We are currently checking the location of supervisor Bai Ye for you."

"However, the system kindly reminds you not to abuse your privileges to do anything strange."

"Shut up," Dr. Kal'tsit said coldly.

"Dr. Kal'tsit has shown some aggression." PRTS seems to enjoy talking to people.

However, Kal'tsit ignored it, otherwise this conversation would have gone on forever.

"The location of Supervisor Bai Ye has been located. Currently, the supervisor is located in the Rhodes Island cafeteria."

canteen?

Kal'tsit blinked.

This answer was clearly somewhat unexpected. It was quite unusual that the two of them went to the cafeteria after meeting.

Is this how the people of Dayan conduct themselves—discussing matters at the dinner table?

However, since no fight broke out, Kal'tsit was relieved.

She returned to her operating room. As the head of the medical department, she oversaw surgeries daily, and clearly, she had fully embraced the role of a doctor.

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

"Don't you want to eat?"

Nian used his chopsticks to lift up an ingredient that looked like tripe and put it into the hot pot.

Looking at the red spicy soup bubbling in the pot, Bai Ye waved his hand.

He doesn't like spicy food.

Although his predecessors, those astronauts of the previous generation, regardless of their place of origin, all liked to eat spicy food.

Chili peppers are a condiment that can save astronauts' appetites. This is because the sense of smell and taste can be affected by noise, carbon dioxide, and weightlessness on a space station in low Earth orbit.

In particular, because there is no gravity, the nasal mucosa cannot capture enough food particles, resulting in a significant decrease in appetite.

Spicy food, in essence, is a pain sensation and is not affected by other sensory experiences, which is why it can restore one's appetite.

However, this is a rather old-school tradition. Bai Ye's generation of crew members travels on starships equipped with artificial gravity systems, so their conditions are much better than their predecessors.

The tradition of eating spicy food has naturally been gradually lost.

So looking at the Shangshu hotpot in the pot, Bai Ye had absolutely no appetite.

"It's strange, you and my sister are similar, neither of you like spicy food." Nian scratched his head.

She herself seemed to enjoy her meal immensely.

"Enjoyed!"

Clearly, the Shangshu base ingredients that Bai Ye bought in Chaolong Mountain were quite authentic and suited Nian's taste.

"The flavor of Longmen is too bland; it's not spicy enough at all. How can anyone eat it? By the way, where did you buy this seasoning?"

While eating, Nian asked curiously.

“If you reveal your identity in Longmen, Old Wei will be happy to entertain you. You can eat whatever you want without any problem,” Bai Ye said with a smile.

Nian shook his head: "That would be boring. A life where everything is readily available is tasteless. Besides, I don't want to expose my whereabouts. After all, it would be troublesome if those guys from Si Suitai started watching me."

"Yeah, and those old guys too."

As he spoke, Nian stuck out his tongue, and his tone became much weaker.

It seems that even a behemoth like her has someone she fears.

As the two talked, Skadi kept eating. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but she couldn't stop. Bai Ye then realized that Skadi actually quite liked spicy food.

She was quite happy to see him again, since having someone to eat with was much more enjoyable than eating alone.

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

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Nian wiped his mouth with satisfaction. Bai Ye casually waved his hand, tidied the table, and then served hot tea.

Nian picked up his teacup, then carefully examined Bai Ye's dominant hand that held the sword, before slowly saying, "People and objects alike have different qualities. Your essence is even more special, and according to the usual practice, you are indeed worthy of me forging a weapon specifically for you. But... I have some selfish motives now."

Bai Ye was not puzzled. He nodded, signaling Nian to continue.

To be honest, if the year seems shrouded in mystery, he would actually get a headache. After all, if sword forging depends on mood and fate, it becomes a random thing, and you have to rely on luck.

Although Bai Ye was somewhat confident in his appearance, as a player, he still hated things that involved judging by looks.

Now that it's clear that they're preparing to submit the documents, this is exactly what Bai Ye wanted.

This means there's more to talk about.

Nian shifted his posture: "I didn't come to Rhodes Island to seek help, and no one can help us anyway. I just wanted someone to witness what's about to happen, after all, your doctor is quite special, very rare on this land."

"However, I didn't expect to meet someone like you here. Perhaps things can still turn around."

Bai Ye suddenly realized: "You want my help?"

"Well, in exchange, I'll forge a sword for you. I'm sorry, but for me, this is a rather despicable act, though it's the worst possible option. If there's even a one in ten thousand chance, I'd want to seize it."

He was no longer as casual as he had been before, but rather quite serious.
