reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

In any case, they have brought about so many changes to this land. They have brought back those shining virtues of kindness that had long been lost, and they have done what many wanted to do but did not.

Of course, it also brought with it all sorts of chaos and abstract elements, making the already strange Terra even more outrageous.

However, the top brass of the business federation never considered that these players could be organized to hold a new competition.

Perhaps due to path dependence, they are already very familiar with the Cavaliers Major and will not think of making any innovations.

However, Bai Ye's words opened a new door for them.

Players who can be resurrected are indeed best suited for a bloody, realistic, and exciting battle, which can bring the arena back to the gladiatorial arena of the barbaric era.

They can already imagine how much traffic and exposure such a competition can generate, and how much they can profit from it.

……

At this moment, one of the directors, blinded by greed, suddenly spoke up and asked:

"If that's the case, why do we need you? Can't we just set one up ourselves?"

"With our extensive experience in major tournaments, organizing an event for the undead would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Although many directors believed this statement was true, they certainly didn't dare to say it aloud.

The director who blurted out "super brave" immediately covered his mouth, wishing he could slap himself twice.

However, Bai Ye wasn't angry; he just laughed.

Sure enough, as long as there is enough profit, people will lose their minds and take risks.

“We can try it. You set one up, and I’ll set one up myself. Then we’ll see which one the immortals choose.”

As Bai Ye spoke, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"I came to you because I think you have a strong competitive atmosphere and a ready-made venue, so the hardware is convenient. I think you're a good fit. Otherwise, I would have just held it in the core city. With Marquis Talulah's support and my money, I can make it however I want."

"Moreover, I am the only one on this land who can take charge of this matter. After all, no one understands the undead better than me."

The board members weren't fools; they naturally understood the meaning behind Bai Ye's words.

They then realized that the man before them was the most authoritative expert on the undead in this land, and almost all Terrans' understanding of the undead began with his writings.

The books they read were all written by this person.

"My motto has always been 'Let's all make money together,' but if anyone tries to monopolize it, I'll flip the table, and nobody can play anymore. I know you have designs on my Adventurers' Guild, and of course, I welcome Kazimierz to join. But if you want to monopolize it, then..."

Bai Ye looked around at everyone, then grinned:

“I wouldn’t mind replacing the board of directors of the business federation again.”

The air pressure in the room dropped again, the air began to condense, making it difficult to breathe.

Only after Bai Ye sat down did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

“We were just joking. It’s most appropriate for you to take the lead on this matter.”

"Yes, we're not familiar with the undead either, so we'll have to rely on you to make contact."

"You eat the big head, leaving us some soup is enough."

The board members quickly bowed their heads and apologized.

Following Bai Ye might at least allow you to make a fortune, but if you anger him, you'll lose everything.

However, what relieved everyone was that this guy wasn't reckless or unreasonable; at least, he didn't just come in and kill all the board members in the room.

However, these guys didn't know that Bai Ye had long disliked them, and he was only keeping them around because they were still useful. Once he and Luna had complete control of the competition, they naturally wouldn't keep them around as parasites.

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

The meeting went relatively smoothly. Both sides reached a consensus on some issues and cleared up some previous misunderstandings. Overall, both sides appeared to be very happy.

Bai Ye took some time to return to Longmen and invited his personal business negotiation expert, Miss Swire, to come over.

The original Lungmen trio were all very inexperienced back then, but after two and a half years of experience, as the third version of the game was about to be released, each of them had grown.

Over the next few days, Miss Swire held at least seven meetings, large and small, with the board of directors and their representatives, and finally came up with a solution that satisfied everyone.

The specific terms are too lengthy to be shown directly, but all of Bai Ye's requirements and pre-set goals have been met.

Even Bai Ye made some concessions on the issue of interests, allowing these guys to make some compromises on issues related to the infected.

After all, Bai Ye is an advisor to Rhodes Island, and he still has to take some practical actions on certain issues.

……

You should treat me to a meal!

Miss Felin glared at Bai Ye, not expecting that the "small favor" Bai Ye had mentioned to her would be so tiring.

Please, this is a business alliance! She never imagined she would one day be exchanging barbs with these guys.

"Is just one meal enough, Miss?" Bai Ye asked with a smile.

"Don't laugh!" Swire reached out and grabbed Bai Ye's face. Every time she saw Bai Ye laugh like that, she couldn't stay angry.

She knew this guy liked to scam people, but she would always agree to help him, no matter how outrageous his request was.

"Speaking of which, I thought you were going to hang all these guys on the streetlights... Compared to normal businessmen, they're far too despicable..." Swire said irritably.

Bai Ye laughed:

"Why are you so short-tempered, just like Laurentina?"

"Don't worry, they don't really pose a threat. They're all weaklings. Besides mobilizing some competitive knights, only the Unarmored Alliance can protect them... What I'm worried about is the Supervisory Council and their conquest knights."

Having dealt with the Business Federation, there's still the Grand Knight Commander waiting for Bai Ye.

Arknights Online Operations Team

September 2321, 04

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

After several days, the official announcement of server maintenance and updates has finally been released, marking the start of version 3.0.0 for Arknights Online.

The players were excited once again.

Only then did Bai Ye realize that it was now April 2321 on Earth… Having traveled for so long, he had long since become accustomed to the Terran calendar, and his concept of Earth's time had become quite vague. Fortunately, Bai Ye would check the game player forums every now and then, otherwise he probably would have forgotten the exact time long ago.

"Let me see what the players are talking about this time..."

Bai Ye scrolled down the page and navigated to the comments section.

[Yukikawa: Yay! Finally, we have an official PVP arena!]

[Silent Trace: The classic 10 AM to 4 PM... Hypergryph's magical hours]

[0406: You're right, but "Bai Ye's Personal Request" is a series of quests issued by the NPC Bai Ye. The quest location is a fictional country called "Columbia," where research institutions are obsessed with conducting barbaric and dark human experiments. Players will play the role of a mysterious character called "Investigator," encountering companions with diverse personalities and unique abilities during their free travels. Together, they will defeat powerful enemies, retrieve lost evidence, and gradually uncover the truth behind "Rhine Labs."]

[No lewd behavior allowed: A wake-up call! NPC Baiye hasn't updated any follow-up quests for 100 consecutive days.]

[Alice from the group is a robot vacuum cleaner: Remember to run the new weekly dungeon this morning!]

[Xiao Mo: Hurry up, hurry up, the Romans are waiting to enter the Colosseum]

[Abaddon, the Undefeated Warrior: I have a plan. If we agree to all flood the server at the same time every day and crash it, wouldn't we get extra compensation every day?]

[Luo Tianyi Catches Ghosts: Goodness, this announcement is so long!]

[I Want to Become a Light Crossbow Master: There's a narrow-minded game in the game pod (referring to being slapped to death by the weekly boss)]

……

All I can say is that it's the same old players and the same old comments.

Bai Ye himself found it amusing.

Clearly, this update is something players have been eagerly anticipating for a long time; at least the much-anticipated Arena system has finally been released.

However, although the update only takes 6 hours in reality, the different flow rates between classic worlds mean that players will likely be out of the game for at least another month.

It is estimated that after this collective shutdown, they will not be able to come back online until next year, which is Terran year 1098.

Terra will once again experience a month-long player absence.

It's quite interesting. Originally, the world would have been normal without players, but without realizing it, players have become integrated into this land, becoming an inseparable and indispensable part of it.

These days, it would be strange if there were no players.

Bai Ye closed the game system panel, looked at the night sky over Kazimierz, and sighed softly.

"What's wrong? Isn't everything going smoothly?" Miss Swire walked up to him.

Ever since being brought from Lungmen to Kazimierz, the young lady has been busy helping Bai Ye with various matters. After all, Bai Ye is not actually good at such business affairs, so it is Swire who handles everything.

“I’m just worried about the War Knights.” Bai Ye frowned.

Although he was unsure of the Supervisory Council's stance, he was indeed somewhat uneasy about the War Knights.

Those guys naturally harbored a resistance to knightly competitions, and their attitude towards the city was always confrontational.

"Your expression right now is exactly like Wei Yanwu's." Swire shook her head with a smile. "Why are you so hesitant now? Where did your former high spirits go?"

"Because I had nothing back then, I had nothing to lose. But now, I have unknowingly carried a lot of burdens, so I have to be careful with every step I take."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he looked around and then suddenly frowned:

"Someone is running towards our location..."

"Huh? There are still people who are blind enough to try and harm you?" Swire chuckled.

The two had just left the headquarters of the Business Federation, and Bai Ye was accompanying Swire to stroll around the business district.

He was also puzzled as to why, after everything was settled, someone was still planning to attack them.

Then, Bai Ye turned his head and saw the white-haired Kuranta girl running towards him and Miss Swire.

However, the girl's target didn't seem to be the two of them; she just wanted to escape into the commercial district, but ended up running into Bai Ye's arms.

"Duang—"
