reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

His style of conduct, actions, and personality are so unlike those of a young person that they are too misleading. As a result, people only know that he is relatively young, but subconsciously ignore his real age.

No one would think to ask this question, since age doesn't seem to matter much compared to what he's done.

……

Bai Ye was also taken aback by the Emperor's question.

He had never thought about how old he was.

He didn't know how to calculate his age, since he had crossed timelines.

Before his time travel, in the sixth version, he was almost 27 years old.

But now Luna has kicked him back to before the game launched, when he was 20 years old.

That was in 1095, and it is now October 1097.

Almost two years have passed.

"Hmm... I guess I'm 22? Not quite 23." Bai Ye didn't include his past age in the calculations, otherwise he would be 29.

It is said that a certain old woman insists that she is a beautiful girl who is forever 17 years old.

Perhaps older people always wish they were younger. And those who are too young will exaggerate their age to appear more mature.

The Emperor was stunned after hearing Bai Ye's answer. After a long while, he suddenly let out an indescribable penguin-like scream:

"What the hell? You're only 22?!"

Bai Ye nodded.

"So you were only 20 two years ago?" You call someone like that 20?

The Emperor continued his explanation:

"At 21 and 22, how much have you accomplished in these two years?"

“No wonder… if I weren’t familiar with you, I would have mistaken you for some kind of behemoth incarnation or fragment…” the Emperor murmured.

However, the Great Emperor, who had had considerable contact with the Beast Lord, was certain that Bai Ye was not some kind of giant beast incarnation at all.

The initial possession was acquired later.

When the Great Emperor and Bai Ye first met, Bai Ye was just a pure human being.

However, it's normal for others to misunderstand, since Bai Ye's actions are so outrageous that it's hard to associate them with his deceptively youthful appearance.

"Let's get down to business." Bai Ye didn't want to continue talking about his age.

The emperor nodded and then poured himself a glass of wine.

"I want to build mobile base stations," Bai Ye said, then erected a transparent air shield in front of him.

"puff--"

As expected, the Emperor spat out the wine, but fortunately, Bai Ye had erected a wind wall in advance to prevent himself from getting wet with the red wine.

"Do you know what you're saying...? This is destined to be a thankless task. The benefits are completely disproportionate to the costs, especially in terms of maintenance after it's built." The Emperor clearly knew what Bai Ye was talking about and also knew the feasibility of such a project.

He paused, guessing at Bai Ye's reliance:

"You're planning to delegate the maintenance to the undead? But you can't always rely on them for everything... What if they suddenly disappear?"

Bai Ye shook his head. This time, he had no intention of relying on the players; they wouldn't be tied down.

"I'm considering... the situation with artificial intelligence."

An intelligent mobile base station that can take refuge, maintain itself, and make its own judgments.

Terra's artificial intelligence technology should be able to achieve this.

"If that's the case, the cost of a single base station will become uncontrollable."

"So we can start with a pilot program, testing it between the two cities first," Bai Ye offered his answer.

Chapter 77 Don't mess with him, you idiot

Human joys and sorrows are not shared. Just as Bai Ye and the Emperor were discussing things, two Syracuseans who had run out of the Emperor's "End of the Earth" bar got into an argument.

"Damn it, why did they stop me? We should have blown that damn penguin and that disgusting bar to smithereens!" Gambino slammed his fist against the wall by the roadside, his face contorted with rage and fury.

This is a Lupo person with ancestral lineage.

Of course, the second half of the sentence is nonsense, because most of those who came from Syracuse were Rupo.

His tail was swaying slightly, indicating that the Lupo was angry.

“Gambino, you have no idea who you’ve messed with!” Capone was equally annoyed, gesturing wildly with his hands.

“Heh, it’s just a penguin?” Gambino gestured back, leaving the Lungmen passersby puzzled by the two strange Syracuseans.

They looked at each other with curiosity, as if they had seen something new and interesting.

"What are you looking at?!" Gambino was extremely sensitive to these gazes, and turned his head to glare at them.

“Don’t be so naive…you’re too petty.” Capone shook his head.

“Hmph, are you talking about yourself?” Gambino gestured. “You’ve been in Lungmen for a bit too long, Capone. It’s been years, and you’re getting more and more tiresome to me.”

Then, he recalled:

"Even if that penguin wasn't up to the task, why did that young guy try to stop me? Are you even afraid of kids?"

"Damn it!" Upon hearing this, Capone immediately turned around and looked around, afraid that someone would hear what this idiot next to him was saying.

"You idiot, you'd rather mess with that penguin than with Bai Ye."

"So his name is Bai Ye, what a terrible name." Gambino felt annoyed by everything he saw.

What angered Capone even more was that he never expected his childhood friend, now the leader, to be so ignorant and foolish:

"Shut up! You have no idea what you just faced. You were lucky. If you had really offended him, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me right now."

"what?"

Capone knew them all like the back of his hand:

"That's Bai Ye, the White Night Demon, Chen Huijie's rumored boyfriend, Wei Yanwu's favorite, the Rat King's assistant, a partner of Penguin Logistics, and the King of the Undead. Some people have personally witnessed him wipe out a city's gangs single-handedly. It's said that the Rat King's previous policy adjustments to the civilian district were his doing."

"If he was really angry just now, you can only pray that our men know to go down to the city center to retrieve our bodies."

"So many titles, yet you're just an immature brat. You've been here for years, and all you've learned are a few Longmen swear words. How did you become a coward who shrinks back at the mere mention of a name?"

Gambino, who had been banished from Syracuse by the Sicilian, was filled with rage. He was like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment, wanting nothing more than to vent his anger on someone—whoever it was.

Capone couldn't stop him.

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

Bai Ye had no idea that he would ever be looked down upon, but that had nothing to do with him now.

He is continuing to discuss with the Emperor the plan to establish a network of mobile base stations.

The Emperor didn't actually think much of Bai Ye's plan, but he admired Bai Ye, so he decided to fund the construction of a mobile base station network connecting Lungmen and the core city of Chernobog.

In Bai Ye's vision, this is a series of intelligent base stations spanning the wilderness. As long as the circular areas of the base station's signal coverage overlap, it means that the two base stations are connected and can send and receive signals. Each base station also has two backup base stations. If a base station is unable to leave the disaster coverage area or malfunctions, the backup base stations can be moved to re-establish network connectivity.

Simply put, Bai Ye arranged the base stations in a strip, with each base station like an interlocking chain. Ideally, the chain would be as straight as possible. However, if it had to bend and lengthen to bypass the disaster-stricken area, Bai Ye would have to extend the chain by adding more links.

Alternatively, if a metal ring breaks and the connection is broken, he can simply remove the broken one and replace it with a new one.

The backup base station is the iron ring used for extension or replacement.

"It will definitely lose money in the short term, and it will probably burn through money for a long time, but this matter is also very important to this land."

"A land that has been divided cannot cope with future crises."

Bai Ye had no interest in accumulating wealth, but he always kept something grander in mind.

This is also one of the reasons why the Emperor admires Bai Ye so much.

From the moment the two met, the Emperor knew that this young man who came to his safe house to buy things for free was no ordinary person.

Bai Ye is not content with the status quo or petty theft. He has a grand plan in mind, and every step he takes is meticulously planned.

The emperor is usually not stingy with gifts for those he admires and who match his taste.

"I invested in this project."

“You’re much more generous than that duck,” Bai Ye said happily.

He hadn't expected to persuade the emperor so easily.

They opened the second bottle of sparkling water and Bai Ye and the Emperor clinked glasses.

"Damn it, why do you keep bringing him up in front of me?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow. "But it's only natural, after all, that guy wouldn't even pluck a single duck feather."

Bai Ye nodded. If it weren't for the Emperor's introduction, that guy probably wouldn't have paid any attention to him at all.

After drinking the cola, Bai Ye continued:

"There's one more small thing."

"I have an apprentice who I'd like to have train with you."

The person Bai Ye was referring to was Melantha.

Not long ago, the Rat King told him that there might be a very lively "party" on Requiem Night, and he wanted to take this opportunity to teach the unruly gangs a lesson.

Before his transmigration, Bai Ye had participated in this event as a player, so he was probably more familiar with the process and its subsequent developments than the Rat King himself.

Indeed, as he said, many gangs had engaged in extensive exchanges of ideas—meaning they physically became one.

……

"Are you also going to send people to Penguin Logistics?"

The Emperor was somewhat surprised, because not long ago, O'Ear Peters, the owner of Penguin Logistics, had contacted him, wanting to get his son into Penguin Logistics for an internship.

Now Baiye has the same request, it feels like it was arranged in advance.

Chapter Seventy-Eight Penguin Logistics

"What a coincidence?"

After hearing what the Emperor said, Bai Ye was also a little surprised.

He never expected that someone else would have the same idea as him.

Fengchi Logistics is a major logistics company in Lungmen, with operations spanning the entire region. It and Penguin Logistics practically divide Lungmen's white and gray logistics industries.

In fact, even though Baiye's "Northern Cross" Logistics is not a traditional logistics company, its business overlaps and conflicts with these two companies.

Fortunately, the three of them got along well, and O'Eal Peters also had a very high level of personal charisma. Under the premise of fair competition, no unpleasant things ever happened.

Speaking of which, although Oel Peters was a Fonhoof, he came to Lungmen and settled there from the beginning, so his son was a native of Lungmen, not a Minoan.

“Speaking of which, O’Ear Peters’ son is that short guy we met last time, Bison Peters, right?” Bai Ye sat down opposite the Emperor and found another bottle of sparkling water.

"Have you met him?"

"Hmm... but I always wonder if that short guy is really his son?"

Bai Ye's words made the Emperor burst into laughter:

"It turns out I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I'm also very curious how that big, burly guy O'Eal could raise such a son."

Bai Ye shrugged.

It's probably related to O'Ear Peters' wife. Incidentally, here's a counterintuitive fact: on Terra, there's no reproductive isolation between different races, and intermarriage between them is quite normal.

The people of Terra don't think it's abnormal for Philine and Perot to get married.

However, the child's race is uncertain.

It's roughly a choice between two races.

However, there are always exceptions. According to Typing Girl, no matter what race a Sakata marries, their offspring will only be Sakata.

However, Typing Girl did not mention the marriage between Sarkaz and Sarkaz. When Bai Ye asked her, she shook her head and did not speak, which is probably a taboo topic among the Lateran.

……

"Enough about that guy's son... Get back to your business." The Emperor steered the conversation back on track. "Since it's an internship, what do you hope your apprentice will learn here?"
