reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Bai Ye nodded and comforted her, "They're just a bunch of lunatics..." Bai Ye sighed, "They always claim to be 'for more lives,' but they can unhesitatingly commit all kinds of 'evil' for this goal."

"If killing one person can save ten people, they will do it without hesitation."

Then he laughed: "You're alright, that's good. Even if Rhodes Island doesn't react, I'll find out the truth and make those lunatics give us an explanation."

Anto shook his head: "He has already paid the price... The messenger of the Cataclysm, who was instructed to carry out the mission, was killed on the spot by the undead. The messenger of the Crisis Contract behind the scenes was actually the only son of the head of security in Wolumond. After the plan failed, he went to assassinate the nobles. After the mission failed, he fled to the vicinity of the Winterling Mountains and bit off his tongue and committed suicide."

After being assassinated, Anto did not leave. Instead, he asked the player to contact Rhodes Island's base in Letania. After receiving more assistance, they provided aid to the victims of the Wolumonde disaster.

She learned this confidential information at that time.

"Let's define this as an attack by an extreme non-infected person who is dissatisfied with the infected. Tell the other operators to be careful when they go out." Bai Ye was speechless after hearing this, but he still decided to first get the story straight.

Because this matter is quite sensitive, and it also involves the assassination of a local nobleman from the tower, it is not suitable for casual publicity.

“Those who know about this should all sign a confidentiality agreement, and then the relevant files should be entered into the database of access records,” Bai Ye said.

“I understand,” Anto nodded.

Then, Bai Ye remained calm and slowly said, "There's no need to thank me for this. I just made some contingency plans to reduce the mortality rate of the operators. You were just lucky... If something unexpected had really happened, no amount of precautions would have helped."

"So instead of thanking me like this, you should be more careful in the future, pay more attention, and then share your experiences and insights with other operators. When you have time later, give everyone a lesson and talk about your experiences."

Although Bai Ye's words were harsh, they were the truth.

Unexpected and dramatic events are also characteristics and the allure of fate. In Colombia, there was a glass facade cleaner who never took any safety precautions, walking on the outside of high-rise buildings as if it were flat ground, and had never had an accident in decades. But one day, while walking on the street, he was hit by an out-of-control military experimental device. Fortunately, apart from having no vital signs, he was unharmed and no longer had to struggle on this land full of suffering.

No one knows when accidents and death will strike.

Bai Ye can only do his best to do some things, even if it's futile, but it will always have its meaning.

“Mr. Baiye is really becoming more and more like our teacher,” Aya suddenly said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Bai Ye blinked. These two's teacher, isn't it Kal'tsit? How could she say that? How does he resemble that old woman at all?!

“Yes, I think so too.” Anto nodded. “Although he has warmth in his heart, he always appears indifferent and cold on the outside, which is indeed very similar to a teacher.”

"is that so?!"

He was still thinking about this problem until Bai Ye left the medical department.

Chapter Fifty: A Vision for a Global Internet

Being popular in the medical department is a good thing, after all, Rhodes Island is nominally a pharmaceutical company that treats infected people, and the medical department will always be the most important functional department of the company.

However, Bai Ye wasn't too happy; he just felt somewhat gratified, and even more so, a sense of accomplishment.

Unlike most of Rhodes Island's operators, White Night doesn't actually have a strong sense of belonging to Rhodes Island. To him, Rhodes Island is like a friend, a companion walking the same path, a place to stay, and one of the places he returns to to rest.

But this is not his home.

On this land, there is no place that can be called home, not even the core city. Bai Ye felt that he was still just a passerby in Terra.

Fortunately, the Deep Sea Hunters connected Bai Ye deeply with this land. Only after finding this bond did Bai Ye feel that he was truly intertwined with the fate of this planet. Otherwise, apart from the change in his identity, he seemed to be no different from when he was a player in the past.

After dealing with the backlog of things, Bai Ye began to rest and work again. Since he had temporarily taken over Dr. Kal'tsit's authority and work, he still had to handle it well. Bai Ye could also take this opportunity to get something he wanted.

At first, Rhodes Island's higher-ups were worried that White Night would not be able to take over Kal'tsit's job well, after all, three years ago, Babel Tower fell into its darkest and most terrible period of despair.

At that time, Babel had lost its leader and many of its core fighting forces, while also facing increasing pressure from Theresis. The regent was devouring Theresia's power and consuming the spoils of his victory.

In this perilous situation, the Doctor has "disappeared" again, and Amiya, as the successor, is still young and inexperienced. It is only thanks to Kal'tsit leading the giants that the Tower of Babel is held up.

Through a series of means and measures, she transformed the Tower of Babel into the Rhodes Island we know today. And for the next three years, she remained the most stable element of Rhodes Island, the cornerstone of the entire island.

As long as Dr. Kal'tsit is there, everything will be alright. She always has a plan and arrangements.

This is the consensus among everyone on Rhodes Island.

So you can laugh at Dr. Kal'tsit for being an old woman, sometimes suffering from dementia, and acting like a clown, but you can't deny her contributions to Rhodes Island and the hard work she's put in over the years.

And the ideals she inherited from Theresa, and her determination to save the world.

……

Fortunately, Bai Ye did a good job. He didn't need to do anything innovative or make any proposals, nor did he need to create any drama. He only needed to play a role in ensuring a smooth transition, so that Rhodes Island remained in a relatively stable state during Dr. Kal'tsit's absence.

For Bai Ye, as long as there are no troubles and the situation is maintained, as if Dr. Kal'tsit had never left, that's enough.

Even so, it's not an easy thing to do.

Therefore, Bai Ye's work was also recognized by Rhodes Island's decision-makers.

However, for Bai Ye, these tasks weren't as difficult as he had imagined, nor as arduous or busy as others thought. His job was simple: he just needed to analyze Dr. Kal'tsit's daily work and decisions using PRTS, and then proceed as usual. Bai Ye had only made some minor requests at the meeting; the overall framework remained unchanged.

In fact, Dr. Kal'tsit's request for Bai Ye was more of an insurance policy. If Rhodes Island happened to encounter something terrible while she was away, Bai Ye could step in and cover for them. If there were any problems in this world that Bai Ye couldn't solve through any means or methods, then the entire planet's civilization was probably close to destruction.

……

"It's quite relaxing when nothing's going on..."

Bai Ye sits in the office and cherishes this kind of free time—it only happens a few times a year.

Bai Ye felt that she had some kind of constitution that made her prone to attracting trouble. Even when she went on vacation, she might encounter all sorts of unexpected situations or accidents.

In addition to his own work and tasks, Bai Ye doesn't actually have much time to sit in the office and rest like this throughout the year.

Although Typing Girl had previously teased Bai Ye for always dumping work on her and running off on his own, it was mostly just a joking complaint. In Typing Girl's opinion, Bai Ye's work was no easier than hers.

Moreover, there are some jobs that only Bai Ye can do, but many people can handle these office jobs.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye himself knew that his motives were not pure. From the results, it was indeed beneficial to Rhodes Island, but the starting point was still for his own benefit.

Therefore, once the goal was achieved, Bai Ye decisively resigned, leaving the position to an operator who truly cared about Rhodes Island.

"Regarding Iberia, we'll wait for the results for now..."

Bai Ye updated the entries in the memo.

Although he was constantly working and running around handling affairs, the task list on his memo kept growing.

Next, we might go to Kazimierz and then to the Great Yan.

The latter requires a yearly notification, while for the former, Bai Ye wants to choose a suitable time. In fact, he values ​​this one more, because it relates to the content arrangement of the next version update.

In addition to these arrangements, White Night is also devising a seemingly crazy plan—to establish mobile base stations throughout the land and promote the integration of Terra's network communications.

Natural disasters tore the earth apart, but messengers managed to weave a great net to keep the broken land connected.

But this is not enough.

Relying on real-time communication with players is just a transitional solution; what Baiye hopes to achieve is a true internet in the real sense.

On land, only within a single city can communication be seamless; across cities, the barriers are insurmountable. No communication method can overcome the interference caused by the Fuyuan Stone environment. The only solution is to erect base stations, risking their destruction by natural disasters.

In fact, some countries already have the means to build mobile base stations that travel between cities on fixed tracks. Those engineers are like lighthouse keepers in Iberia, carefully maintaining the communication lifeline between cities.

Bai Ye's hope is that, through Agor's technology, his Originium Arts, and all the advanced technologies on this land, mobile base stations can be established throughout the land, allowing it to overcome the obstacles posed by natural disasters.

This is a very difficult task, and it's not just a technical problem.

But Bai Ye remained confident.

Chapter 51 Running

"Haven't you eaten yet?"

The question was not answered; silence itself was the answer.

When Skadi entered White Night's office, she found him deep in thought.

Gone is his usual relaxed demeanor and fierce fighting spirit; at this moment, Bai Ye resembles a thoughtful scholar.

Skadi hadn't seen such a white night in a long time.

The last time she saw Bai Ye so focused on thinking was when she had just met him.

At that time, Bai Ye was still very weak. Without using magic, he couldn't even catch her casual sword strike. His body was also extremely fragile and could easily be broken by her.

But Skadi still remembers every winter night when they would stop their car in the snow and pitch their tent. When she herself woke from a peaceful sleep, the White Nights were still awake.

He turned down the lights and studied the next steps of the plan while looking at the terminal and the paper map.

Outside the tent was the cold snow and howling wind, while inside, there was the steady heartbeat of the white night and the warm light.

Then, Skadi drifted into a deep sleep, drifting off into another sweet dream.

That was the most relaxed and happiest time for the girl after she came ashore; the nightmares that had plagued her seemed to have disappeared. But those nightmares were actually a constant reminder of her past, the fate of the lost hunter, and her uncertain future.

Fortunately, with Bai Ye by her side, she no longer needed to consider these things. Skadi also no longer needed to dwell on questions that she was destined to never find answers to on her own.

Those around her were not afraid to walk with "calamity" and were extremely eager for her power.

The feeling of being needed and the warmth of being cared for gradually filled the deep-sea hunter's heart.

Until now...

"It's time to eat."

Skadi placed the lunchbox on the table next to White Night and then sat down beside him.

Knowing that the girl was extremely familiar with him, Bai Ye had already heard her voice. If she weren't an acquaintance, he probably would have stood up by now.

"Hmm... it's not a big deal to skip a meal," Bai Ye muttered, but didn't want to move.

"..."

Skadi shook her head helplessly, then opened the lunchbox, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to Bai Ye's lips.

"Mashed potatoes?" Bai Ye obediently opened her mouth.

“Yes, Melantha recommended it to me when I met her in the cafeteria,” Skadi nodded.

As she spoke, Skadi's eyes darted around the room.

Did the shark escape yesterday?

Skadi asked bluntly.

Yes, since Byakuya has been quite busy lately, the idle Specter and Skadi have proposed taking turns coming over to be his assistants every day.

Yesterday was the first day. After playing rock-paper-scissors, Specter won (Skadi's expression was too easy to guess).

Today it was Skadi's turn to come over.

Bai Ye blinked; he didn't know how to answer Skadi's question.

The answer is of course obvious.

Before Bai Ye could answer, Skadi had already gotten the answer from the pheromones remaining in the room.

On the floor, on the sofa, on the desk...

Although Bai Ye had cleaned it up, unfortunately, the Deep Sea Hunter's senses were too sharp, and he could easily detect any remaining clues.

Okay, actually none of that is necessary. The nun's habit placed in the corner alone is enough to explain the matter.

Wow, that was a really good workout!

Skadi clenched her fist, squeezing the metal spoon in her hand into an unformed, abstract work of art.

"cough--"

Bai Ye closed the book in his hand, turned off the terminal screen, and then remotely closed the office's electric door and activated the soundproofing.

He already knew that if he didn't appease the baby orca, he probably wouldn't be able to continue working today.

Skadi nodded in satisfaction...

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

Bai Ye seemed to be enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

Although neither of the two deep-sea hunters had ever served as an assistant, they were still quite helpful to Bai Ye.

With the two people taking good care of her, Bai Ye didn't feel too tired.

On the contrary, work efficiency has improved considerably.

Indeed, having a capable assistant is very important...

Meanwhile, a research team composed of medical, engineering, and sorcerer departments, with the help of Gladys, studied the various items that Baiye brought back. That's right, the reason Gladys didn't have time to take care of Baiye and the two deep-sea hunters was because she herself had things to do.

As the only science administrator among the three hunters, Goredia's participation in the research group would definitely improve efficiency. After all, many of these technologies originated from Agor.
