reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Of course, knowing this is one thing, but Bai Ye doesn't think it's a reasonable phenomenon.

Therefore, after taking over Dr. Kal'tsit's work, White Night consciously reduced Amiya's burden.

So, who will accomplish these tasks?

Bai Ye herself definitely didn't want to do any more.

So, Bai Ye shifted more tasks to the Doctor—since that guy was just idling around anyway, he might as well do more work.

Moreover, although this girl doesn't usually have a high profile, in Rhodes Island where there are many extraordinary people, a white-haired girl doesn't really stand out much.

However, Bai Ye knew that the Doctor, whom he had personally rescued from the stone coffin, possessed great abilities and extraordinary intelligence.

However, in a world where individual power can influence the course of a battle and even reverse the fate of one side, a simple strategist can indeed play a role, but they are not many.

Because your enemy may be just as smart as you, but stronger.

When your strength accumulates to a certain level, you only need to use basic attacks to get past them.

Despite Bai Ye's seemingly carefree journey after time travel, making friends with everyone and solving numerous problems using somewhat unsophisticated but effective methods, she still manages to thrive.

However, his greatest reliance has never been his foresight as a player regarding the version of the game, but rather his ever-increasing strength.

This is what gave him the courage to negotiate with the Ursus Emperor and confront the Ursus Guards head-on.

Therefore, the Doctor's role is sufficient to assist Amiya in managing Rhodes Island.

At least, it works very well.

The poor Doctor had no idea that the increasingly heavy workload stemmed from Bai Ye's "mercy"—at least, Bai Ye believed in his own mercy. He told the Doctor not to go to the front lines to command, and that with his frail body, he should just stay obediently in the rear.

Besides handling affairs, Bai Ye also cooperates with the sorcerer department to research his own powers—but the result was that he messed it up the first time.

The group of fervent Originium Arts research experts wanted to see the plasma cannon attack used by White Night with their own eyes—however, they seemed to be too confident in the defensive strength of Rhodes Island's high-energy Originium Arts testing laboratory.

They even wanted Bai Ye to unleash his powers indoors—yes, indoors.

After all, there are complete testing instruments and various Originium Arts sensors here.

Perhaps this guy was too confident, or perhaps Bai Ye didn't have any idea about his own powers. Under the encouragement of the research sorcerer, Bai Ye actually prepared to unleash a plasma cannon indoors on Rhodes Island.

One dares to speak, the other dares to act.

Then, during her first week of acting as Kal'tsit's supervisor, White Night almost blew the entire Rhodes Island to smithereens.

—When the air is compressed to a certain extent, the energy fluctuations have reached their peak, and all kinds of alarms are wailing. The defensive structure that the research experts of the warlock department kept saying "it's okay" seems to be on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, Bai Ye stopped this crazy act before things got out of control.

The cost was that the unstable gas eventually exploded out of control, destroying half of the laboratory.

Yes, Dr. Kal'tsit forbade Bai Ye from sparring with other Deepsea Hunters in the training room, but she didn't forbid Bai Ye from using his powers in the spell testing room—it just goes to show that this guy has no idea about his own destructive potential.

In short, Bai Ye cleaned up the mess himself and took the opportunity to completely rebuild the entire facility under the pretext of outdated equipment.

Hopefully, when the old woman comes back, she won't find out about this.

From then on, the sorcerers dared not allow Bai Ye to use his powers indoors anymore. However, these people were quite fanatical about the power of Bai Ye's "spells".

They often ventured into the wilderness outside Rhodes Island to experiment with new directions for Bai Ye's development of his powers—in short, that area had been practically turned upside down.

If someone accidentally steps into that place, they might even think they have entered another world.

……

Besides developing powers, Bai Ye also took advantage of his rare free time to tutor his apprentices.

Well, actually, he almost forgot he had an apprentice.

Wait, why did I say "again"?

In short, this time he finally started teaching his own students for real.

White Night's student is Melantha, a girl from a Victorian incense family. She came to Rhodes Island after graduating from middle school and is much younger than most of the operators.

The interns, who were initially called the preparatory action team, went to the core city with Bai Ye and even witnessed many things happen.

In truth, Bai Ye didn't quite understand why Melansha, this delicate little girl, would choose to become his disciple after witnessing his rather inhuman teaching methods.

He was still learning swordsmanship.

He's a pretty strange guy.

However, Bai Ye is still very responsible towards his students (are you sure?). At least, after remembering that this person exists, Bai Ye is still willing to teach her.

Bai Ye's understanding of swordsmanship goes far beyond mere power. His swordsmanship was born from years of battles, and after being integrated and mastered through accelerated thinking, it has reached a considerably high level.

Only players can fight with such abandon, without considering injuries, supplies, wear and tear, or other consequences; they are the purest martial arts fanatics.

Although he is only considered an expert in the system's assessment, Bai Ye would be considered a sword master in any country in Terra.

Perhaps he also hoped that someone could inherit some of his hard-won swordsmanship.

Chapter 56 Power Armor

"A kitten on land, is Bai Ye planning to teach her?" Ghost Shark was somewhat surprised, because Bai Ye rarely did anything meaningless.

Goredia was equally puzzled.

She and Ghost Shark met White Night later and were unaware of his relationship with the Preparatory Action Group.

"She can't keep up with Bai Ye's pace. This little cat might be faster, but it's still not enough."

As a seasoned hunter, Goredia naturally understood that physical attributes and talent determined the upper limit of a warrior's potential.

Like Naruto Zero, Terra is also a world based on bloodlines. The Sarkaz are skilled in Originium Arts, the Laterans are naturally proficient in firearms, the Vayvans have the physical ability to withstand artillery shells, and those high-ranking Fantasy Races possess talents that ordinary races could never achieve even after a lifetime of effort.

Of course, if you are talented enough, you may be able to awaken a unique talent spell, but this is also innate and cannot be obtained through personal effort.

Yes, even among ordinary races, there are differences between people. People without magical talent cannot learn Originium Arts. In Rhodes Island's operator evaluation, this is called Originium Arts adaptability.

If it's ordinary or standard, there's probably still hope; they might be able to learn some simple spells. But what if it's flawed?

That's a born warrior with 9 intelligences.

If your physical fitness, or physical strength, is weaker, then don't even think about fighting.

Unfortunately, both Grandia and Specter could see that Melantha, standing in front of White Night, had neither formidable physical abilities nor outstanding magical talent.

This is a girl who is only slightly above average.

Her speed and agility, which Rhodes Island would rate as excellent, seemed incredibly slow to the Deepsea Hunters.

There is an insurmountable chasm between the two, a chasm that the kitten could never cross, no matter how hard it tried its whole life.

It's tragic, but it's also very real.

"It's not entirely without a chance."

Bai Ye's figure suddenly appeared in front of the two. It turned out that he had already explained a set of sword techniques and, after correcting the movements, let the kitten train on its own.

“Melantha also has a very useful talent that can make up for many things,” Bai Ye said with a smile.

Grandia was somewhat surprised, but she didn't show it on her face. In fact, apart from losing her temper once in Saltwind City and laughing in front of White Night and Specter last time, she always had a poker face.

"You mean her perception? No, it's not enough, too weak." Grandia could see Melantha's talent at a glance.

She has a strong sense of perception.

However, it doesn't seem to be that strong.

Bai Ye shook his head: "He does have this talent, but it's a product of his Oripathy infection, and it's been slowly fading away recently."

Or rather, Melanie felt subjectively that this ability was fading.

But that's not the point.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Miss Melantha is very rich, or rather, her family is very rich. Moreover, she is her parents' only child."

Melantha comes from a family of perfumers in Lentinium. Her father was a merchant engaged in the bulk spice trade and operated several spice processing factories; while her mother was in charge of the family brand's direct sales stores, responsible for managing the flagship perfumer brand stores centered in Lentinium.

If this kitten from high society hadn't been infected with Oripathy, she would probably be a noble lady studying at university right now.

"Is this considered talent?" Ghost Shark asked, somewhat puzzled.

“On land, wealth is also a manifestation of power.” Bai Ye said, opening his terminal panel. “I have already suggested that Melantha purchase this power armor.”

In the kitten, Bai Ye saw a reflection of his past self. As a player, there are limits; to achieve a balanced stat allocation, one must inevitably sacrifice some aspects. Power armor, however, can effectively compensate for these weaknesses and significantly enhance combat capabilities.

It's important to understand that there aren't many experienced powered armor pilots on this land; in fact, powered armor itself is quite rare.

Moreover, most of the models are currently in the experimental stage, and they are completely different from the "Thor's Hammer" power armor used in the sixth version of White Night.

However, Bai Ye is a pilot who has personally used powered armor in combat and is familiar with the advantages, disadvantages and modification schemes of various types of armor.

It's safe to say that there's probably no one in the world more familiar with and skilled in this field than him—not even the current power armor designers.

Melantha's purpose in becoming an apprentice was simple: she wanted to become stronger.

She felt she was not yet qualified to lead Operation Reserve Group A4, because after witnessing the brutal battles in the frozen wastelands of northwestern Ursus, she believed her skills were insufficient.

As the team leader, protecting the team members is her responsibility, and Miss Melantha is a person with an extremely strong sense of responsibility.

So she wanted to become stronger, and after witnessing the powerful Bai Ye, she had a direction and a goal.

Bai Ye believes that instead of diligently learning swordsmanship and exhausting one's energy to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, it is better to strengthen oneself using the most direct and simple method.

Purchasing power armor is the simplest way.

And Bai Ye could then teach Melantha how to use this powerful weapon from scratch.

Bai Ye felt that kittens didn't need to be confined to physical attributes and swordsmanship; the ability to use weapons was also a symbol of strength.

Bai Ye planned to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with the child.

"Power armor... It must be very expensive on land, right?" Specter has been on Rhodes Island for so long, and he has never seen anyone here use this thing.

Those with the power might look down on it, as they could shatter the outer shell of the power armor with a single punch; those with the weakness probably haven't even heard of it, or even if they did, they wouldn't know how to buy or learn to use it.

Bai Ye nodded: "Yes, it's very expensive. Buying one is very costly—and this is just the beginning."

Even for players, power armor is an expensive item. Besides purchasing the armor itself, the cost of related facilities, such as charging, maintenance, weapons, and ammunition, is even higher.

The most expensive part is replacing parts, which is the root cause of players' deep love and deep hate.

Unlike the maintenance of ordinary equipment, the repair cost of power armor is much higher. In addition to the replacement of modular parts, if it is a specially customized model, the maintenance cost after each battle is an astronomical figure.

If the battle is relatively easy, then it's alright.

However, when power armor is required, what easy battles are there except for overwhelming victories?

Chapter 57 Miss Melantha Wants to Become Stronger

Actually, Bai Ye wasn't in that much pain back then.

After all, players at his level, even without the support of an entire gaming guild, possess considerable in-game assets, sometimes even equivalent to the total assets of a small adventure group.

In the fifth version, White Night began searching for power armor, using several versions before finally commissioning a laboratory in Columbia to create a custom "orange suit" for him—the Thor's Hammer power armor.

By the sixth version, with continuous updates and enhancements, White Night was able to solo the demons with this armor.

However, it also has its limits. Now that I think about it, if we could get help from Nian, or obtain more powerful technology from Agor, or dig up some relics from a previous civilization, we could probably continue to strengthen that power armor.

After listening to Bai Ye's words, Goredia seemed thoughtful, then nodded: "Actually, our initial plan also included a design similar to power armor, but in the end we chose bio-engineering technology. Given the possibility of interference from the Deep Sea Church, power armor wasn't the best option."

“Right, in that high-pressure environment, power armor is barely enough to sustain life... I feel that surgical modification is more reliable.” Bai Ye nodded.

Although this thing is not perfect yet, well... it's really not a big deal for Melantha.

After all, these are all things that money can solve. As for the other channels, there's always Bai Ye.

This was one of the few things he was able to do for his often-forgotten apprentice.

……

After making up his mind, Bai Ye began to create his own plan.

He recalled that there were very few military-grade powered armor models currently in service with the military, and most of them were very bulky, emphasizing defense and firepower, rather than the speed models that Bai Ye and Melantha needed to enhance strength and mobility.

However, it's easy to solve. Bai Ye can contact friends from all sides and have Thor's Hammer, which was originally supposed to appear in the sixth version, manufactured ahead of schedule.

Having always fought in armor and frequently maintained and repaired it himself, Bai Ye was extremely familiar with the structure and design of Thor's hammer; it was practically etched into his mind.

Although knowledge could not flow between the two sides in the past due to the world barrier created by Luna, this restriction did not apply to Bai Ye after his transmigration. He was able to clearly remember every detail of the power armor.
