reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

"That's great. Do I need to return the access rights?" Bai Ye said, taking out his identity access card.

"It's not necessary. The entire set of permissions isn't normal supervisor-level permissions anyway. Your permission level is 8, and there aren't many people on Rhodes Island who have that."

Dr. Kal'tsit surprised Bai Ye; it turned out his authority had been this high from the beginning. No wonder the other supervisors didn't seem to have delved into the database to look through so much information.

"What does the consultant need to do?" Bai Ye then asked.

"You can get involved in anything that ordinary people can't handle—war, natural disasters, rescues, crises… Rhodes Island has plenty of extraordinary people, but those who can help might not be strong enough; and those who are strong might not be able to help. Hmm, and they don't seem to be as strong as you either." Dr. Kal'tsit frankly admitted Rhodes Island's little secrets.

On this bustling land-based aircraft carrier, Bai Ye is perhaps the most unique one among them.

……

"Perhaps one day, I will no longer be able to accompany Amiya. At that time, I hope to entrust Rhodes Island to you."

After a long silence, Kal'tsit suddenly spoke.

Chapter Six: The Hunter's Dancing Skirt

Even as the Mid-Autumn Festival gala began, Bai Ye still couldn't figure out Dr. Kal'tsit's purpose.

She didn't say anything more, but left behind a mechanism that, once triggered, would grant Bai Ye full access to Rhodes Island, and this access would be unique.

Kal'tsit did not choose Amiya, Ascalon, Warfarin, or the elder Kroos; she did not even consider the Doctor, one of the founders of the Tower of Babel.

In the end, Bai Ye never got to the bottom of it. Kal'tsit then stopped talking about it, and Bai Ye eventually left still confused.

I feel like I've inexplicably gained a burden.

But Dr. Kal'tsit still agreed to help with the research on the "sarcophagus".

Moreover, you can get a Rhodes Island ship for free in the end. Even if you do nothing, you can dismantle it and sell it for money, which is excellent.

No matter how you look at it, you've made a profit.

So it doesn't matter to Bai Ye.

After resigning from his supervisory position, he suddenly felt incredibly relieved, but also suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

After all, this was the first proper job he had in both worlds.

Before heading to Rhodes Island's Mid-Autumn Festival party, Bai Ye went to her office.

Bai Ye does indeed have an office—although she is rarely at Rhodes Island and spends very little time there, less than a fraction of the time Typing Girl spends there.

Since Typing Girl went to the Rhodes Island branch in Chernobog's core city, this office has been basically empty.

This has become an urban legend within Rhodes Island—an office that no one uses.

It's better this way; at least the office space isn't being used unnecessarily, and it can be left for those who need it.

Although no one was there, the office was quite clean, with almost no dust.

It seems that logistics personnel have been coming here to clean up ever since.

Bai Ye discovered that she had left some things in the closet—a Rhodes Island standard-issue sword and a speech draft. Besides that, there were some things belonging to Typing Girl. Bai Ye even found a candy jar filled with chocolates.

The standard-issue sword was left in the office because it wasn't needed at the time, while the speech was used when I first joined the company.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye's oratory skills were quite limited, and he hardly played the role of "hope +2".

Fortunately, as someone once said, "Literature, words, and eloquence can make one invincible, but they have never brought victory."

Bai Ye did achieve something tangible, objectively improving the survival rate and salaries of field agents, which established his authority as a supervisor.

Before leaving the company, Bai Ye sat down at his desk one last time.

He didn't turn on the light, sitting in the dark, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

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

At the Mid-Autumn Festival party, Bai Ye was surprised to see the Doctor and Amiya.

Dr. Kal'tsit probably participated as well, but she was likely hiding in a corner, so at least Bai Ye didn't see her.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

Ghost Shark also arrived; she had changed out of her nun's habit and put on a new dress.

Bai Ye's eyes lit up.

Without affecting combat, this outfit features a gorgeous back hem and exquisite knee-length black stockings.

High heels made the girl look even taller.

“As I said before, the battles of deep-sea hunters are like dances, and the combat suit can actually be used as a dance skirt.” Ghost Shark saw that Bai Ye’s eyes were shining, and he knew that Bai Ye liked it.

"What is this? Scripture?"

Bai Ye looked with some curiosity at the long white ribbons hanging from Ghost Shark's body. These ribbons were attached to the clothes by gold chains and hung down from the waist.

"It looks a lot like the old nun's habit, but this isn't scripture. It's written in Agor script, about me, about the captain, about Skadi, and about Agor."

As she spoke, Ghost Shark laughed: "They're worried that I'll lose my memory again. If it's written on my body, I won't forget."

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with playing the role of a well-behaved nun. Anyway, you seem to like it quite a bit."

Greta, who was standing to the side, turned pale upon hearing this.

Laurentina wasn't like this before.

Skadi didn't seem to care. She leaned closer and said, "Bai Ye, do you know, this outfit was custom-made by Swordfish at Rhodes Island. She even knew the exact measurements... and could even tell that Shark had grown a little taller."

"Huh?" Bai Ye turned his head with some curiosity and looked at Gretia beside him.

The second captain's face darkened further, but she didn't meet Bai Ye's gaze; instead, she turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

Bai Ye was a little puzzled. This guy's attitude was quite tough before, so why did it suddenly change?

"The captain has great taste; she even remembered that I used to like long dresses." Ghost Shark was delighted.

She seems to really like this outfit.

"I just don't trust land dwellers, especially those strange undead. When did such a group appear on land?"

"Greteia said quietly from the side."

Her attention was diverted to the undead, namely the strangely dressed players on Rhodes Island.

Players who usually don't dress very anthropomorphically are letting loose even more today.

Moreover, it began to veer towards two extremes.

Some of them were dressed up in a stunning way, showcasing art and aesthetics from a positive and uplifting perspective, giving the Terrans a little bit of an earth-shattering experience.

Another group of people will make the indigenous people curious about how these people dare to dress like this—aren't they afraid of getting into trouble?

For example, some players chose the recently popular scribbles character set, which makes the character look very abstract and has a different style from others.

However, the kids on Rhodes Island really like it.

They ran around the players or picked out their favorites to take photos with.

Bai Ye saw the little fire dragon among them, and even Hemer chose to indulge her occasionally that day.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye, with her exceptional eyesight, also spotted another familiar figure on the other side.

"Saria, why are you back?"

“My friends from Lungmen told me that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival of the Great Yan Dynasty, and Rhodes Island will also have celebrations.”

“I’ve come back to see Ifrit.”

Saria was somewhat surprised that Bai Ye had managed to find her in the crowd.

She then opened her backpack: "Could you give these to Ifrit for me?"

"I didn't know what flavors she liked, so I bought them all."

Bai Ye looked at the package with some surprise; inside were colorful candies.

Chapter Seven: Father Sai

Bai Ye hadn't expected that Ms. Saria would have such a silly side. Bai Ye could already picture that tough guy who could knock Jeston away with three punches running into a candy store to buy candy.

If you buy every flavor of candy, the shop assistants will probably be exhausted.

"Why not give it to her yourself?" Bai Ye asked, looking at the candy in his hand.

“It’s not convenient for me to see her,” Saria shook her head. “And… there’s also Himer.”

Bai Ye was somewhat surprised. He looked around and then activated the soundproof barrier: "There must be some misunderstanding between you two. Didn't you tell her the truth?"

Saria pursed her lips but still refused: "Things are far more complicated than she imagines. First, there are too many things involved behind the Balrog incident, and the waters run deep. It would be dangerous for her to dive in headfirst. Second, the project she did with her teacher back then actually involved her in Ifrit's human experiments. If she knew the truth, she would probably feel guilty."

As she spoke, Saria clenched her fist: "It's fine for me to take on these responsibilities now. She just needs to take good care of Ifrit, and I'll investigate the details behind it all."

Bai Ye looked at the woman in front of him and felt a sense of respect.

"Actually, ifrit prefers spicy food to candy, like dried chili peppers, which she eats like candy," Bai Ye said with a smile.

Saria smiled wryly, "I've been away from her for too long, I don't even know what she likes anymore..."

Then, she became somewhat annoyed: "What the hell is Hamer doing? Giving children random things to eat."

Bai Ye's expression turned somewhat awkward.

Because actually, Himeru doesn't allow Charmander to eat these kinds of snacks either.

Those specially made dried chilies were actually secretly given to Ifrit by Bai Ye.

Meanwhile, Saria still harbors resentment towards Himer's parenting methods. It seems that Mrs. Himer will have to take the blame.

“Actually, Ifrit is no longer a child; she’s even taller than Himer,” Bai Ye said softly from the side. “It’s just that human experimentation and an unnatural upbringing have prevented her from maturing mentally.”

"There's nothing we can do about it. Things are much better now than they were back then." Saria shrugged her shoulders. Back when dealing with the Balrog incident, the rampaging Ifrit had caused her a little trouble.

"So, the experiments on Charmander were chimeras?" Bai Ye had already reviewed the relevant materials and learned what Saria was investigating.

Saria nodded: "This is an experiment that combines fragments of the Balrog with the human body. Someone wants to use this to create biological weapons."

"This is much more powerful than a regular BOW," Bai Ye exclaimed in astonishment.

The Balrog is not Ragnaros, nor is it the one Gandalf killed.

This is an ancient Sarkaz race that once held a place in the royal court, but has now been wiped out.

Columbia attempts to combine fragments of the Balrog with humans to create powerful bio-weapons.

It's simply a very normal Colombian tradition; they can't stand not conducting human experiments. The laboratories and subsidiaries of major tech companies all have their own dark histories.

For example, "logging yard", "water tank"...

Illegal human experiments were conducted using children, infected individuals, or scavengers.

There are several victims left over from human experiments within Rhodes Island.

Kal'tsit has her own channels and occasionally takes in these poor children.

“I have a friend who is investigating these matters right now, and we may need your help later,” Saria said, looking at Bai Ye.

She admired this young man; he possessed great power and was willing to use it for good.

She then handed a data disk to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye accepted it, nodded, and then removed the soundproof barrier.

After sharing the intelligence, they chatted about some more relaxed and pleasant topics.

For example, Mr. Jeston, who was filmed in prison and made into a documentary.

"He only has himself to blame." Saria was also surprised that the beach umbrella company didn't try to get rid of its top henchman, but instead squeezed out the remaining value in this way.

"Actually, his Originium Arts are quite useful. He could be recruited to work as a construction worker in the core city, or simply used as a sparring partner," Bai Ye remarked.

Seraya paused for a moment after hearing this: "You're more Colombian."

"I don't dare to take it seriously."

Bai Ye left with a grin.

……

Many operators, and even players, performed at the Mid-Autumn Festival gala. Bai Ye didn't really recognize most of the operators, let alone the players. He only recognized four children who performed in a play—Lily of the Valley, Sussurro, Witch, and Popka.
