reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Page 373

Even Texas, who usually has a poker face, was clearly stunned for a moment, while Sora was completely dumbfounded.

Only Exusiai whistled:

"cool!"

……

By this time, the surrounding fog had mostly dissipated, and the gang members were completely focused. They had no idea what these people had done under the cover of the fog, but they could hear a lot of noise.

Then, they were stunned. A powered armored vehicle lit up in the lingering fog, its lights creating a Tyndall effect in the air, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

Of course, most of these guys don't even recognize what power armor is.

They were just muttering words like "monster" and "armor."

Melantha quickly adapted to her new perspective. Following the instructions inside her mask, she drew the sword hilt from her waist and connected the functional connector to her palm.

Immediately, a voice prompt came to the girl's ear.

The sword core is ready.

『ready』

'fight'

Orange-red light shot out from the columnar hilt of the sword, and was then fixed by a magnetic field, forming a loop from the tip to the hilt.

Originium Blade!

Melantha stomped her foot, activating the thruster nozzles. The Source Micro Stone Engine started up, and the girl shot out like an arrow.

……

However, her cool demeanor lasted only three seconds, because even though Melantha had prepared herself mentally, she still didn't expect the speed and propulsion of this power armor to far exceed her imagination.

The girl rushed out, but overshot her and crashed into a clothing store on the side of the road.

She smashed a hole in the wall and plunged inside.

It looks rather comical.

However, no one present could laugh.

The sturdy wall crumbled like a biscuit in front of the armor; if it had hit a person... well, let's not forget, this guy was carrying a sword!

If, and I mean if, Arknights Online weren't a fully stealth game, but rather a card-based tower defense game, then players would surely exclaim in surprise:

Wow, Rose Sword Saint is now a unique character, six-star and promoted to Elite 2!

……

The rest is self-explanatory.

Donning power armor, Melantha transformed into a humanoid Gundam, effortlessly sweeping away all the surrounding gang members without even needing to use her Originium lightsaber.

Even with Originium Arts activated, "Greytail" was nothing more than a slightly tougher punching bag in front of Melantha. Propelled by the Originium Engine nozzles on Melantha's elbows, she only needed three punches to shatter the field shield.

Arrows and spells from afar were blocked by the force field shields mounted on the power armor.

Without even needing to withstand the attacks, Melantha could easily dodge them by relying on the various information captured by the armor's reaction device and her own reaction speed.

"Wow...so strong!" Croissant's mouth dropped open, and she didn't even notice when the hammer fell to the ground.

Exusiai is already sitting to the side, secretly eating Texas Pocky.

She didn't even need to draw her gun for cover anymore, because Melantha, now in her power armor, was enough to sweep everything aside.

Texas shook her head:

"Not everyone can pilot this kind of powered armor. Her teacher's decision to airdrop the mech was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"Melantha must have undergone rigorous training to be qualified to drive this armor. Ordinary people simply cannot withstand the load of instantaneous activation and static suspension. If they rush in, they might break their backs."

Clearly, Texas, being the most astute member of Penguin Logistics, immediately saw that Melantha wasn't as relaxed as she appeared on the surface.

Or rather, she had already put in so much sweat and effort before this moment.

"Bison, you need to keep it up!" Croissant patted Bison on the shoulder with a smile.

To be honest, as fellow interns, comparing yourself to Melantha would be awkward for anyone. Without comparison, there's no hurt. Bison isn't actually that bad, but compared to Melantha, she's still far inferior.

Bison nodded.

Only now did he realize just how vast this world truly was, and that he was not yet ready for it.

Not at all.

……

In the face of Penguin Logistics, Melantha almost single-handedly thwarted the Rat King's previous contingency plans.

everything is over.

The other Penguin Logistics messengers weren't idle either; they assisted Melantha in finishing up.

Since Melantha didn't kill him, the remaining gang members helped their injured and fallen comrade to safety.

The farce seemed to be over.

……

"Hey! All the good citizens who are attending the Requiem Party!"

Can you hear me?

Just then, the Emperor, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared on the radio.

Everyone turned to look, and before they knew it, the penguin was standing in front of the microphone on the stage in the center of the carnival.

……

"Looks like it's my turn to take the stage. It's been a while since I've done anything. The last enemy I faced was probably a sea monster. I wonder how my opponent will fare today."

Bai Ye smiled and put on the mask.

Chapter 108 Classes Begin

"Hey, hey, that penguin is making a lot of noise! By the way, why is there a penguin at the carnival?"

"Are you going to buy QQ coins?!"

"Tx jokes never go out of style, right!"

"Wow, look! It's a card that's coming to fight, and it doesn't look like a fake suit. Wow, it even has a lightsaber! This is so cool!"

"Where can I buy it?!"

"Quickly check out that light logo projected into the sky! Where are the Arknights scholars?!"

The Lungmen players who mingled in the crowd to participate in the carnival naturally got to enjoy the spectacle.

In particular, the power armor piloted by Miss Melantha quickly became a hot topic on various websites and forums.

Many players were immediately drawn to the prototype "Alpha" upon first sight, captivated by its powerful and aesthetically pleasing power armor.

Many wealthy individuals are starting to get excited, attempting to spend large sums of money to find ways to purchase power armor.

It's fair to say that Baiye has really won this time. Not only did they promote their new product to the native inhabitants of Terra, but they also gave it a great show in front of the players, whetting their appetites.

Of course, Melantha was also given a chance to test the new prototype, allowing her to experience the significant improvement in her abilities after training.

Now there's only one thing left to do.

Simultaneously complete the requests from two big shots in Lungmen:

Commissioned by the Rat King, teach Penguin Logistics a lesson.

A mission from the Emperor: to teach the young messengers of Penguin Logistics a lesson.

Now, it's time.

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

The emperor seemed quite pleased with the noise at the scene.

"Not bad, not bad, it seems you can hear me."

"Now, please be quiet! Please be quiet! Thank you!"

"Then prick up your ears and worship me."

The penguin stood on the stage, holding a microphone, waving its paws.

Upon hearing his voice, the citizens of Lungmen who were participating in the carnival erupted in excitement.

"What... what's wrong with that guy!?"

"Wait, he's the Emperor! Hey, it's the Siren's God of Rap! Come quick!"

"Shouldn't he be in Columbia?! How come he's in Lungmen?"

"This is so lucky! I heard him rap at the Obsidian Music Festival in Siesta last time, and he's so much better than everyone else!"

"You're praising one while belittling the other, aren't you? Do you look down on us DDDs?!"

"We, the 'Sunset Fades' band, disagree!"

"It doesn't feel as good as... Dosoles!"

"Damn it! Brothers, someone's asking for a beating!"

"Great Emperor! Great Emperor! Great Emperor!"

In short, the citizens of Longmen were full of energy tonight!

However, isn't it a bit too noisy for Requiem Night?

After all, this was originally a very serious holiday.

"It's too noisy. Today is Requiem, and your voice could wake up even the dead."

Bai Ye's figure suddenly appeared behind the Emperor.

However, he was wearing a Noh mask from the Oni tribe, a gift that Hoshiguma had given him. It was said that Hoshiguma had originally received it as a thank-you gift from a shrine in the eastern country.

"What—why are you standing behind me?! Bai Ye, what are you doing?!" The Emperor turned around in surprise, instinctively sensing something was wrong.

"Bai Ye? I don't know what you're talking about. Right now, there's only the bounty hunter Bai Yecha!" Bai Ye said, clenching his right fist and beginning to gather his strength.

"Hey, Your Majesty, grit your teeth! The Rat King asked me to give you his regards! Goodnight, Your Majesty, Happy Requiem."

As Bai Ye spoke, he forcefully swung his fist.

"boom--"

The emperor transformed into a shooting star and flew away.

"You stinking rat—just you wait!!!"

The indescribable screeching of penguins echoed through the night sky.

"Phew, this is quite a comedic style." Bai Ye clapped his hands, then jumped off the stage and landed in front of the Penguin Logistics team.

"Hey everyone, good evening!"

"It's been so long, I've missed you terribly!"

……

"Bai Ye?! What you just did..."

"Teacher?! What are you doing, teacher?!"
