reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Their escape route has been cut off.

Of course, they didn't believe that he had memorized everyone's appearance and information. They just thought that Bai Ye was giving them a warning, nothing more.

……

Actually, Bai Ye wasn't bluffing.

Before his transmigration, he had undergone this kind of training, which required him to memorize an entire operation manual within 100 seconds. That really only took a glance, and this was just the most basic subject.

Although he had been out of the "Northern Cross Project" for a long time and was unable to escape its shadow for quite some time, the project and the 18 years it took there truly benefited Bai Ye immensely. All his achievements can actually be attributed to that project.

"To travel across the stars...?"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Zofia's Great Shock

Although Baiye's decision seemed like a joke, gathering everyone in the middle of the night and then dismissing them after a quick look in the morning.

However, the assassins of the Unarmored Alliance did not complain at all, and scattered away in the dim dawn, disappearing into every corner of the Kazimierz Grand Knight Territory.

Perhaps, compared to what Bai Ye is doing now, the directors of the Business Federation have issued far more foolish orders and outrageous instructions in the past, to the point that Bai Ye now seems more human in comparison.

This was something Bai Ye himself hadn't expected.

The once crowded Unarmored Alliance assassins vanished in an instant, leaving Zofia's meadow empty once more. If it weren't for the footprints still on the grass, it would have been as if those people had never existed at all.

"..."

At this moment, Zofia and Maria finally came to their senses. Zofia looked at Bai Ye with a complicated expression. What was happening before her eyes shocked her, even left her somewhat stunned.

She initially thought these Unarmored Alliance members were there to cause trouble for Maria, after all, Margaret had been targeted before. She was about to think that sending even a High Priest of the Azure Gold Clan with so many people seemed like an overreaction.

However, she never expected that these unarmored knight assassins were all summoned by Bai Ye. She also never expected that these people would call Bai Ye "boss" and obey his orders, coming and going as they pleased.

Bai Ye's already somewhat mysterious identity became even more enigmatic in Zofia's eyes.

“Um… Miss Zofia, I don’t know how to explain this to you. A lot has happened these past few days. For example, last night when I was taking a walk and chatting with Miss Swire, I took care of the three Xuan Tie leaders of the Wu Zhou Alliance. The two Qing Jin leaders were also present at the time, so I also took them down in one fell swoop.”

"???" Zofia's mouth began to widen.

Maria, on the other hand, looked at Bai Ye and Zofia with utter confusion. The naive young girl had been completely bewildered since she woke up that morning.

Bai Ye scratched his head:

"Although it is hard to believe, it is indeed true. After the three Xuan Tie Grandmasters were killed, the two Qing Jin Grandmasters were controlled, and the only Bai Jin Grandmaster was taken away by me, the Wu Zhou Alliance has been disbanded."

Finally, Bai Ye concluded:

"Simply put, there will no longer be any Unarmored Alliances that obey the orders of the Business Federation."

"Huh?!" Zofia stared at Bai Ye in disbelief.

Although Bai Ye used standard Common Language, Zofia felt that she could understand each word individually, but when put together, she really couldn't understand it.

This topic is beyond the scope of the curriculum.

What does it mean to "casually kill three Xuan Tie while taking a walk", "just happened to encounter two Qing Jin on the road and subdue them", and "the Wu Zhou Alliance ceased to exist from then on"?

If Zofia had heard such a thing from someone else, she would have thought they were joking. However, what happened that morning forced Zofia to believe everything Bai Ye had said.

"Ah, could it be that you were the one who made those three pillars of light that suddenly appeared in the central area last night?" Maria suddenly realized and turned to ask Bai Ye.

Bai Ye nodded.

“It’s so bright! It’s even brighter than my sister’s light. The whole city can see it! And this morning I heard on the news that electronic communications in some parts of the city were disrupted,” Maria said excitedly.

She never imagined that this big event was actually related to Bai Ye.

Sure enough, someone as capable as my sister has friends who are no ordinary people either.

In fact, Maria had long heard of Bai Ye's strength. After all, her current partner, Miss Melantha, was his student. With such a powerful student, the teacher must also be very strong.

However, Maria did not expect Bai Ye to be so strong.

Of course, she was more curious about the Unarmored Alliance, an entity that was like an urban legend in Kazimierz, which was very attractive to a naive young girl.

Zofia, however, is different.

She was a veteran knight who had participated in the Special Championship, and naturally had close contact with the Unarmored Alliance and the Business Federation. She was well aware of the dangers that existed there, and many knights had lost their lives to the arrows of these mysterious knight assassins.

“From now on, they probably won’t bother the Lin Guang family behind the scenes anymore. As for a direct confrontation?” Bai Ye smiled and patted Maria on the shoulder, “Train hard and then crush them head-on.”

"The power armor I'm giving you has 1000% of the performance of the existing armor in Kazimierz," Bai Ye said, nodding in surprise.

"Thank you." Zofia expressed her sincere gratitude. Although she was a knight of considerable strength, she was nothing compared to the behemoth that was Kazimierz. It was like trying to stop a moving city—utterly futile.

However, Bai Ye resolved all the troubles in just a few days.

"To win their game, you have to join them and fight using their rules."

This is how players fight; they are bound by the rules of the game, but they can always find a way to complete the game within those rules.

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

The days that followed passed quickly.

As the current version nears its end, players are accumulating experience, refining their equipment, and learning skills in preparation for the next version's arena.

At the same time, there's also the rather novel Desire Grand Prix waiting for them to experience.

However, most players prefer to save money towards the end of a version update because the equipment in the current version has basically been reviewed by professional content creators, and most players have already purchased what they needed, so there's not much new to see. New versions, on the other hand, usually introduce new equipment and products, which are generally stronger than the previous version.

Therefore, players' desire to buy is generally not very high right now.

The real test of players' wallets will come when the new version is released.

Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry.

His power armor has not yet been officially released, but he plans to showcase it at the Kazimierz Knights Major.

Not only gamers, but also many indigenous people will probably place orders.

Bai Ye believed that this wave would allow him to fleece the players.

Of course, relying solely on Baiye's own factory, even with Ursus and Lungmen's Namba Heavy Industries production lines running simultaneously, the production capacity would still be insufficient. In that case, they would probably have to cooperate with Lungmen.

Wei Yanwu must have his own industrial channels, otherwise where would the Black Cloak's equipment come from?

Chapter Forty: The Difficult Clam

(Want to try out the Cultist Simulator)

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

Bai Ye got busy again.

Actually, he felt like he had been resting for a long time.

Ever since he dealt with that damned Bishop Quintus in Saltwind City, Iberia, it seems that White Night has been slacking off.

That is, when Dr. Kal'tsit went to Iberia to go to jail, White Night served as her acting captain for a period of time.

Speaking of which, Rhodes Island's ships are currently heading towards Kazimierz. Of course, their final destination is obviously not here. After resupplying in Kazimierz, Rhodes Island will head directly to Victoria.

Whether it's White Nights or Rhodes Island, there are reasons why one has to go there.

Rhodes Island must confront the formidable enemy from three years ago. After Dr. Kal'tsit returned to Rhodes Island from Iberia, Bai Ye secretly told her about Regent Victoria Theresis's plans to resurrect Theresia.

This wasn't just Bai Ye's wild guess. After all, he was a player who had experienced six versions in the past. As long as the overall direction hadn't changed, Theresis certainly wouldn't arbitrarily alter the plans he had already decided on.

Bai Ye had also asked Luna whether telling the natives of Terra the information he had obtained from the timeline before his transmigration would cause some terrible consequences.

The answer he received was "no".

Luna's answer reassured him even more.

……

Although Bai Ye couldn't provide conclusive evidence, after two and a half years of interaction, Dr. Kal'tsit chose to believe him. Moreover, as the most knowledgeable person on this land, Dr. Kal'tsit knew very well that the Sarkaz did indeed possess the witchcraft capable of resurrecting people.

Kal'tsit really understands the Sarkaz.

Two hundred years ago, she led the allied forces to destroy the kingdom of Kazdel, but was killed by the six heroes of Sarkaz. Later, she became a close friend of Theresa, and in the process, she became very familiar with the Sarkaz people.

If Theresa is resurrected, Rhodes Island's position will be in a very awkward position. Whether for her past friends, for Amiya, or for the Tower of Babel and the Sarkaz left over from the Tower of Babel era, Kal'tsit must go to Victoria.

Bai Ye's destination has also been confirmed.

He now possesses a key. This key can open the door to the final resting place of the kings in Londinium, the capital of Victoria.

Bai Ye is going to obtain the Victorian national sword, "Breath of Kings".

Although he wasn't particularly interested in the weapon, Bai Ye didn't want to leave it to anyone else. Of course, he also wanted to help Rhodes Island. If he could gain the support of this powerful land-based nation through a series of actions by Rhodes Island—ideally, gain complete control of it—it should play an important role in future campaigns against the enemies of civilization.

Demons, the Deep Sea Church, and other unknown enemies. These are the things they will eventually have to face.

Despite the help of other players, players will not remain players forever. When Luna's plan succeeds and the dimensional resonance phenomenon is successfully triggered, merging the two worlds into one, players will no longer have unlimited resurrection opportunities, and will also lose the power enhancements gained from upgrading through the game system.

Because Earthlings will no longer be "projections" of the past, but will descend as physical entities. At that time, they will no longer be players, and naturally, they will no longer have everything they gained from their previous projections on this land.

Ultimately, cooperation with the native inhabitants of Terra is necessary, which is why White Night has been dedicated from the beginning to resolving the conflict between the players and the natives. He has consistently acted as a mediator, aiming to minimize the tensions between the different civilizations when the two worlds officially merge.

Fortunately, both share a common enemy—the monsters and demons left behind by the previous civilization, as well as the Originium that has gone out of control.

Hopefully, before everything comes to an end, the two civilizations can work together to find a way out for themselves.

It's quite a strange story. Luna originally brought Earth to escape disaster, but when she arrived, she found that the situation on Terra seemed even worse.

The disaster that Earth was supposed to face was nothing more than a stellar anomaly that would engulf the solar system. But here—all sorts of enemies capable of destroying civilization have emerged one after another, almost enough to fill a mahjong table.

It was truly bad luck.

I wonder if Luna regrets it now.

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

Players began pouring into the Grand Knights' territory in Kazimierz.

Although the version has not yet been updated and is still in the late stages of the second version, and the arena is not yet open, players have already begun to enter Kazimierz to get a sneak peek at this city that will later become a player arena.

Actually, Bai Ye didn't initially intend to cooperate with Kazimierz. Wouldn't it have been better and more convenient to build the arena on the core city of Chernobog, the player's main city?

However, Bai Ye still considered that players need to integrate into Terra, and Kazimierz itself has a very strong competitive culture that attracts tourists from all over the world. With such a foundation, it has an advantage over the core city.

Bai Ye originally intended to use the Commercial Federation's arena directly, as it would be more convenient and the facilities there were already quite complete. However, after receiving the legacy from the Unarmored Alliance, Bai Ye discovered that this assassin organization actually owned a large piece of real estate in the core area of ​​the Great Knight Territory.

Of course, it was controlled by a shell company.

In that case, there would be no need to borrow one—at least, the main venue must be Bai Ye's own property.

Bai Ye, through his own company and a shell company of the Wuzhou Alliance, engaged in a so-called cooperation, then transferred the land between his own hands to legally seize it.

After that, we can start building the arena. White Night plans to make this the permanent PVP arena in the future.

Indeed, there are still more good people than bad in this world.

The three generous Xuan Tie not only gifted Bai Ye an assassin organization but also gave him a large piece of land. Bai Ye had never met such kind people before.

Unfortunately, the other party sent the package without ever meeting her, so Bai Ye really had no chance to "see her face".

After all, those three Xuan Tie Grandmasters were reduced to ashes...

It's really a pity.

Chapter 41 Grand Knight Commander

After dealing with the Wuzhan Alliance, Bai Ye felt completely relieved.

After casually pointing out a few key points about operating Maria's power armor, he left Zofia's manor.

With Melantha around, there's nothing for him to do.

Bai Ye has always been a very easygoing teacher, so most of the time his students find it hard to stand him.

Before transmigrating, Bai Ye was one of the top melee specialists in Arknights Online, and he had mentored apprentices before.

Most of the time, it's the big guilds that force Bai Ye to take on these promising newcomers. They hope Bai Ye can mentor them; if they can learn even one of Bai Ye's signature skills, it would be a great deal.

Although Bai Ye wasn't keen on dealing with large guilds, they were offering so much that it was difficult for him to refuse. Therefore, Bai Ye reluctantly agreed to help them out.

In comparison, Melanie was the most well-behaved, polite, and fastest-improving student he had ever taught.

In fact, with Bai Ye's strength, he would never lack money if he wanted to. No club or union would refuse him, and they would even give him a high degree of freedom and generous contract terms.
