reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

……

Bai Ye then patted Kroos, who was busy running around with her rear end sticking out in front of her, and said seriously, "Ah, Dr. Kal'tsit, what brings you here?"

"??"

"Eh!!"

When Chloe Hilton suddenly looked up, she tripped and fell, but she didn't care about that. The Oil Blood Demon hurriedly stood up and turned to look in the direction that Bai Ye had just been facing.

A "Kal'tsit" stood there, watching her coldly.

"Ohh!" Kelsey was so startled that she didn't dare to move, but then she explained with a smile on her face, "Ahem, Dr. Kal'tsit, we're just helping you organize the storeroom, aren't we? We didn't touch anything or take anything strange."

As he spoke, the oil guy took something out of his pocket.

"..." Goredia looked at her and shook her head. Even the usually cold and aloof Agor technical governor was speechless at this moment.

She finally understood: Rhodes Island was full of clowns, with a doctor named Kal'tsit leading a bunch of haphazardly dressed big kids around on this land.

"You childish brat..." the female hunter couldn't help but mutter.

Meanwhile, the projection of the white night was still in effect.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, please say something... I'm getting anxious because you're not saying a word."

"Oh dear, why are you making such a serious face again? I thought it was about that project from last time... It's just that they installed a new facial recognition alert system and mistook the Castle-3 with its new paint job for an intruder, right?"

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

"...Hmm, could it be that the boiler on the ground floor was over-powered, causing the sewer pipes to back up?" She managed to catch something like that.

"Still not right?"

Kroos was stunned. She muttered to herself, "If this is for real, my funding is completely gone. I have to think of a way."

"Wait, isn't the old woman still in Iberia...? How come she's back so soon? According to the calculations, she should have been back for at least another month..."

Kroos wasn't stupid. Although she was a bit eccentric, she was still one of Rhodes Island's veterans. When she saw Kal'tsit remaining motionless, she immediately became suspicious.

As he stepped forward, he found himself passing right through Kal'tsit's body.

“ops——”

They've already given themselves away so quickly.

Bai Ye quickly turned off the projector.

"Bai Ye!! Is this your doing?!" When Kelu Hilton realized what was going on, she turned around abruptly and stared at Bai Ye with wide eyes.

"Ahahahaha——"

White Night's signature villainous laugh.

"...Damn it!" Oil Blood Demon clenched his fist, seemingly wanting to smash it into Bai Ye's face.

Anyone would be angry if they were made fun of like that.

Bai Ye remained calm and unhurried. He took out the terminal, and Kroos's recording came out from it:

Oh dear, why are you making such a serious face again? I thought it was about that project from last time...

Could it be that the boiler at the bottom floor was modified to have excessively high power...?

……

"I originally just wanted to see your interesting expression, but I didn't expect to get such an unexpected bonus! Miss Kroos, you wouldn't want Dr. Kal'tsit to hear about this, would you?"

"Wocao!"

Kroos started spewing out all the profanities she'd learned from the players. Her eyes widened; she had no idea that Bai Ye had a trick up his sleeve.

"Sir, I was wrong!"

The Oil Demon shamelessly admitted defeat, but secretly he was thinking that he would find a way to hack into White Night's terminal and delete all her previous dark history.

……

"..."

Watching the two bickering, Greta once again muttered, "Two childish brats..."

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

Although there were no direct gains, Bai Ye still found quite a few interesting things in the warehouse.

Of course, these artifacts are all dangerous, including tissue materials from demons found in the Sami Icefield.

The moment Bai Ye saw this thing, his sanity started to drop. So he immediately sealed it away.

Where did Kal'tsit get all this from?

Aside from the strange and demonic materials, Bai Ye felt that the most interesting thing in the warehouse was a vending machine.

It felt like something left over from a previous civilization. When I opened it, all the drinks inside had been sold out, leaving only a strange cup.

"Ah! It's this!"

Kroos stared wide-eyed at the strange cup that Bai Ye had found.

"Do you know what this is?" Bai Ye asked curiously.

Kroos nodded, looking at the cup excitedly. "I've seen this thing before. You just pour water in it, and the cup produces an endless supply of bubbly, happy water. It's a genius invention!"

"I originally wanted to put this in the engineering department, but unfortunately Kal'tsit confiscated it..."

Sparkling water, Earth also has this stuff, it's actually just cola.

But pouring water in and it immediately produces cola? What kind of amazing black technology is that? Bai Ye couldn't understand how far the pre-civilization on this land had progressed.

Goredia was also somewhat interested, as there were similar things in Agor, the deep sea where they used to live.

It's a vending machine that automatically prints out whatever you want as soon as you insert coins; it's very interesting.

"If only I could have it...unlimited refills of Coke, just thinking about it is exciting."

Even on Earth, where Bai Ye once lived, nothing this advanced existed. He did, however, fantasize about turning on a tap and getting Coke when he was a kid writing science fiction essays…

The teacher who read his essay didn't say anything, only remarking that "wouldn't 'vodka gushing out when you turn on the tap' be better...?"

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Some Daily Life

After indulging themselves for a day and exploring "Grandma's attic," Bai Ye and Kroos returned to normal.

Although they didn't find any cutting-edge technology that could be used immediately, the two of them still gained quite a bit—achieving freedom from the urge to drink sparkling water before Dr. Kal'tsit returned, wouldn't you say that's a pretty good achievement?

Bai Ye always felt that if it were a certain pastor who wished to remain anonymous, he would probably prefer a cup of milk with endless refills.

The thought of a certain priest vanished as soon as it appeared. However, after living on this land for some time, Bai Ye had gained some understanding of the common sense of this world and was no longer as detached as she had initially appeared.

Of course, it's only a little better. No matter where Bai Ye goes or how well he knows the place, the locals will still quickly regard him as an outsider.

Of course, it's much better than when I first arrived at Rhodes Island. At least, Bai Ye won't call tumor milk "cow's milk" and attract strange looks from some of the Frozen Hoof operators.

Incidentally, Terra is always home to some strange and unusual animals, such as the Tumor Beast. Although the name sounds a bit eerie, the milk produced by this animal tastes just like cow's milk on Earth. There are also similar Tumor Beasts but without milk production, and their function is similar to that of cattle, horses, or donkeys in ancient times on Earth.

Unfortunately, by the time of Baiye, no more cattle and horses were seen working. The only value of these animals was for viewing, racing, eating, and continuing to exist.

Because they are part of Earth's vast biosphere, and this planet carries memories of their coexistence with humans, humanity will not allow them to become extinct.

Well, I digress. Let's get back to Terra. The natives of Terra are accustomed to certain animals, such as pack beasts, goblins, and even scaled fish and feathered beasts. However, other animals like cats and lambs are quite rare here. When they see these animals, they show confusion and surprise.

Perhaps it's because they don't consider pack animals and tumor beasts as their own kind, but when faced with pets like cats and sheep, do the Terrans, who are all animal-eared girls, connect them with the prototype of their own race?

Bai Ye was unaware of these things. He didn't believe that the origin of the beast-eared girls on this planet was simply a matter of natural evolution of civilization. Of course, there was no need to study these things now. The reason Bai Ye thought of this matter was simply because he was surrounded by a group of dark, fluffy little sheep while communicating with his colleagues in the sorcerer department.

Well, although they're called "small," these animals that look like sheep are actually quite large.

"When did Rhodes Island start raising such a large flock of sheep? And they're even running around in the warlock department's corridor. Is the ranch fence broken?" Bai Ye looked at the black curly-haired sheep rubbing against him with some doubt.

Just as Bai Ye was about to reach out, the warlock who was studying his power stats looked up and warned, "Be careful, don't get burned by these little black sheep... Ah, it's alright, that's right, Bai Ye, you should be fine..."

"Do you know what this is?" Bai Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

As the proxy for Dr. Kal'tsit's duties, his authority was limitless, yet there were things within Rhodes Island that he was unaware of.

Of course, the sorcerer researcher in front of him was unaware that Bai Ye had temporarily become Rhodes Island's agent. He simply smiled and replied, "This is Operator Eyjafjalla's pet. We all call her 'Little Black Sheep,' but she's not small at all, right?"

"We've never seen these strange animals anywhere else before..."

The warlock beside him bent down slightly, put on his heat-resistant gloves, and touched the furry creatures.

"Never seen it before...?" Bai Ye blinked, then couldn't help but ask, "When you see this thing, don't you ever think about... eating it?"

"Eat??" The warlock's eyes widened as he stared at Bai Ye as if he were looking at a monster. "Why would you have such a terrifying idea?"

"This is too cruel."

Sure enough, in the eyes of the Terran natives, these animals are not the same as edible carnivorous animals.

"These little black sheep usually sleep in Eyjafjalla's room or in a more spacious area of ​​Rhodes Island. We don't see them very often. It's said that they can help with many things, such as moving books and delivering goods... Well, it would probably be quite comfortable to use them as pillows."

As he spoke, the warlock researcher's eyes began to light up again: "However, according to our colleagues' observations, these little guys don't usually come out often, but they always suddenly appear when Miss Eyjafjalla needs help, and when they are excited, their bodies generate extremely high temperatures."

As he spoke, the operator waved the heat-resistant gloves on his hands in front of Bai Ye.

He was clearly unsure of these guys' condition and was afraid of getting burned.

"I suspect that these guys' phenomena might be related to Originium Arts... It's really intriguing. What kind of mechanism would cause these phenomena? I really want to investigate it thoroughly..."

Seemingly sensing the malicious intent of the two people in front of them, the flock of little black sheep ran away.

After all, one wants to eat and the other wants to dissect and study them; neither of them seems like a good person.

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

That evening, when Bai Ye met with Gretia and the others, she told them about it.

Goredia shook her head: "Although we have robots called 'Little Helper' in my hometown, living pets like this are really rare. At least, I don't think I've ever seen one."

"Don't you guys know how to raise some scaled fish?" Bai Ye joked.

"Heh, they're thinking about how to make the scales taste better..." Ghost Shark interjected from the side, "Sure enough, they still eat more on land."

"It tastes much better than those artificially synthesized products from before."

Skadi ate her cake silently. It was something that Bai Ye had taken from Typing Princess and had been keeping in her inventory, but she had forgotten to take it out and eat it.

Fortunately, the game's built-in inventory doesn't have a concept of time travel, allowing this cake from six months ago to maintain its original flavor even though it's well past its expiration date.

"Wait, Skadi, don't eat the plate along with it!"

Bai Ye almost couldn't stop it; all she could say was, it truly lived up to its reputation as a goofy killer whale...

Chapter Seventy: A Little Tea Party

(This humble monk doesn't even have skin yet, I'm dying of laughter)

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

Actually, it's quite normal for Skadi to eat the plate.

According to Gretia, their deep-sea hunter modification surgery involves a total of 19 procedures, one of which is a modification to strengthen the stomach.

Of course, even Goredia wasn't entirely sure about this claim, even though she was the Technologist; much was being kept from her. All she knew were fragments of information and her sensitivity to these technologies as a Technologist.

However, the fact that Deepsea Hunters are superhuman is beyond doubt, and their daily diet may even include some ceramic components that can be absorbed by the human body.

In addition, they also consume some high-calorie foods that are indigestible for ordinary people and beyond imagination, so that their superhuman bodies can obtain the energy needed for their activities.

Simply put, you can eat cake in big bites like Skadi without gaining weight.

"I'm so...so envious..."

Melantha, standing to the side, was stunned. She didn't know whether she envied Skadi for being able to swallow the plate or the Deep Sea Hunters who were enjoying the cake.

She wouldn't dare eat such sweets at night.

"It's okay to eat it once in a while, since your exercise level is already terrifying." Bai Ye cut a small piece for the girl, put it on a plate, and brought it to her.

By the way, this ability has always been something Melantha envied, or rather, most girls would envy. Being able to conjure cakes and candies at will is such an amazing ability.

Goredia was equally envious, but she envied the ability's value in combat. Perhaps Bai Ye, as a player, was already used to replenishing his health and mana while fighting.

However, this is something that the indigenous people of Terra would never even dare to dream of.
