reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Bison charged toward Bai Ye, shield in hand.

Meanwhile, Sora started singing from behind, while Texas and Melantha launched a pincer attack on White Night from the front and back.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment...

Without using his powers and Originium Arts, Bai Ye certainly couldn't withstand so many attacks with his bare hands. Of course, he could activate his Mind Acceleration Mode to dodge at will, but that wouldn't look very good. It would make him appear as if he was being forced to dodge and run around by these guys, which would be too uncool!

So, it's time to end it.

"That's it for now."

Bai Ye decided to flip the table.

Just before Penguin Logistics' concentrated attack hit his body, Bai Ye clenched his fists and clashed them together.

"Henshin!"

A transparent nitrogen armor instantly covered his entire body...

Then, the attack came.

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

"What was the result?!" Croissant braced herself on her knees with both hands. That attack had almost exhausted all her strength, and now she didn't want to move a single finger.

Everyone watched the smoke billowing up from the attack, unaware of what was inside. Exusiai also stopped firing; she had run out of bullets.

Melantha opened her facial armor and breathed in the outside air.

Texas frowned:

"It doesn't feel right."

She clearly felt that her final blow had missed, and instead bounced off some strange surface.

Mostima laughed and was the first to put away her staff.

"The wind is picking up," the girl whispered to herself.

"call--"

At the same time, a sudden gust of wind dispersed the smoke, and Bai Ye's figure reappeared in everyone's sight.

Unscathed.

However, Bai Ye took off his mask, casually tossed it into his inventory, and then walked easily toward the group.

The girls looked wary and nervously at Bai Ye.

"Hey, what's with those looks you're giving me?" Bai Ye asked, amused and feigning innocence.

"Not playing anymore?" Texas tilted her head.

"What are you fighting about?" Bai Ye continued to feign ignorance. "What's wrong with you all?"

Bai Ye asked, "What is the relationship between the bounty hunter Bai Yacha and me, Bai Ye?"

He was just an ordinary messenger, without their immense power.

"Tsk." Exusiai couldn't help but click her tongue.

What a despicable guy.

"The power armor is pretty good, isn't it?" Bai Ye turned to look at Melantha beside him.

"Teacher, thank you."

Melantha nodded her thanks; she owed her current strength entirely to Bai Ye.

“From now on, this power armor is yours. Go back and have your parents pay the bill.” After saying that, Bai Ye added, “But now we need to take the armor back and make some adjustments.”

Some data also needs to be collected.

Melanza nodded.

"Alright, since everyone is alright, that's really great. I won't disturb the young people's party and the reunion of old friends any longer."

Byakuya clearly saw that Exusiai's gaze towards Mostima was somewhat strange.

"Melantha, come with me."

Bai Ye left the scene with Melanie.

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

"Teacher, what exactly happened in the end?"

After the two had walked away, Melanie couldn't help but ask.

“I told Mostima before that I wouldn’t use my powers. But I blocked your combined attack with my nitrogen armor, so I admit defeat,” Bai Ye replied with a smile.

He was back to his original state, but Melantha was still shaken.

The white night they just faced was absolutely terrifying!

"Is the Emperor alright?" the girl asked cautiously.

Bai Ye laughed:

"You don't need to worry about that guy. Even if he's killed, he can come back to life. He dies at least several times a month."

“Uh…” Melantha was dumbfounded.

"For him, his life was probably less valuable than the vinyl records in the box."

Then, Melanie asked the last question, which was also the one that concerned her the most:

"Teacher, did you really use your full strength without using your powers?"

She was eager to know just how far Penguin Logistics had pushed Bai Ye.

Bai Ye shook his head:

"Actually, I also want to know what it's like when I give it my all."

Chapter 111 Master and Disciple

Although it was a case of "stomping noobs," Bai Ye didn't come away empty-handed.

Especially when facing Mostima, Bai Ye sensed something different from her magic.

Bai Ye could sense that the spell that restrained her movements was not a simple slowing spell, but something more sophisticated. Bai Ye clearly felt that time around her seemed to slow down at that moment.

That was definitely not some ordinary Originium Arts.

Unfortunately, her special staff was left with Is, and without it, she couldn't continuously cast that special spell. Later,

Bai Ye wanted to savor that feeling a little longer.

He originally had no interest in this kind of bullying behavior, and was only willing to help because his students were involved, plus the Emperor was giving him so much money.

Incidentally, the Rat King gave him the opportunity to achieve an incredibly precious accomplishment—to personally knock that penguin away.

However, he still received an unexpected surprise when facing Mostima.

"I'll have to go find Mostima again next time I have the chance."

Now is not the time to disturb Mostima, after all, she and Exusiai have reunited and need time to catch up.

……

Of all the Penguin Logistics personnel present in today's battle, only Mostima and Melantha still held back a trump card.

Mostima was deliberately slacking off; not only did she not use her full strength, she also voluntarily discarded her bound equipment.

I wonder if the guards will be driven crazy by her reckless behavior.

Fiameta: Thank you, I'm already furious.

Melantha, however, is somewhat special.

She had already used all her strength, but that was not the limit of the power armor.

The prototype "Alpha" also has a special capability: overclocking.

Once the neural connection between the machine and the pilot reaches 100% synchronization, the machine can enter overclocking mode when the pilot is emotionally excited and mentally highly active. This mode will overload the Originium Engine, enhancing the machine's various performance characteristics. At the same time, due to the off-the-charts synchronization rate, the pilot will maximize their reaction capabilities.

Unfortunately, due to two issues with the power armor, the overclocking mode can only be maintained for a short 3 minutes.

One issue is energy. Overclocking mode consumes a great deal of energy, and the overloaded engine will consume all the energy in a short time. Increasing the hidden backup energy will affect the overall weight of the machine. Therefore, overclocking mode basically represents the machine's last battle.

Secondly, there's the cooling issue. Overclocking will cause the outer shell of the machine to burst open, which, while minimizing the weight of the power armor and increasing agility, also enhances the machine's heat dissipation capacity.

Even so, three minutes is the limit.

After that, not only will the energy be exhausted, but if the heat is not dissipated in time, the power armor will overheat along with the pilot. If the Originium engine explodes due to overheating, the pilot will probably also die.

Currently, White Night only equips the prototype "Alpha" with an overclocking mode. This hidden mode is far from mature, and it will not be added to commercial products.

Moreover, as everyone knows, mass-produced machines and prototypes are two different concepts. Generally, the most powerful machines are prototypes. In various novels and comics, the protagonists usually use prototype machines.

Bai Ye's actions are also in line with objective laws.

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

Bai Ye brought Melantha to the Lobotomy Institute.

Of course, Bai Ye prefers to call it the "Institute of Human Foundation History".

I just hope that the knight system he created in such a hurry won't make Melantha's body feel rotten.

Bai Ye no longer participates in tasks such as debugging the power armor, collecting data from the machine's terminals, and making improvements, since these are not his areas of expertise.

Bai Ye has always emphasized that professional matters should be left to experts, and he himself will not get involved.

……

Next, Bai Ye returned Melanza to Penguin Logistics.

I glanced at the time; it was almost 3 a.m., and by then, all the children were fast asleep.

For example, Lily of the Valley from Rhodes Island should be sleeping soundly right now.

However, Melantha had just been through a fierce battle and was stimulated, causing her body to secrete hormones, making her excited. So Bai Ye sent her back for team building.

The destination was naturally still the "End of the Earth" bar, but due to the previous conflict, it had been reduced to ruins.

Bai Ye wasn't entirely clear on what exactly happened, because at that time he was still at Wei Yanwu's residence discussing matters with the old fox.

But thinking about it, it's obvious that someone must have come knocking on the door.

"Alright, I won't join this young people's party. Go ahead."

Bai Ye gently nudged the girl's shoulder.

"Don't say that, teacher. You're only... um, how old was it again, 20? You don't seem to be that much older than me." Melanie scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

She realized how little she knew about Bai Ye.

"Age is not a measure of maturity." Bai Ye gently flicked Melantha's forehead.

"Ugh." The girl couldn't help but cover her forehead and puff out her cheeks.

"Because you seem too relaxed, I wanted to let you know how tough society can be. By the way, I've mastered a way to hit people that's loud but doesn't hurt much," Bai Ye joked.

Melanie was somewhat helpless:

"Teacher, you know what? You're completely different today than you used to be!"

"It's probably because of the Noh mask... There's still some demonic power left in it. Although it can't shake my spirit and will, it does make me a little excited." Bai Ye said, taking the mask out of his inventory.

“My glorious image has crumbled in an instant…” Melantha sighed. “So even teachers can be reckless.”

"So, we haven't spent enough time together, so it's normal that your impression of me is skewed. I also regret it; I was too busy before and forgot about you." Bai Ye scratched his head.

Melanie laughed:

"So the teacher finally admitted that he accidentally forgot about me?"

“Yes, as I said before, age is not a measure of maturity.” Bai Ye nodded generously. “Do you know what a teacher’s authority is?”

Melanie shook her head.

Bai Ye replied with a smile:

"The so-called authority of a teacher is the composure with which an elder can bow to a student."
