reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

"It's been a long time since I've walked in the wilderness..."

The initial version did not have teleportation, and players were quite poor at the time, so you could always see players running around in the wilderness.

Although it is a fully immersive game, it is impossible to achieve complete realism for the sake of gameplay. For example, players can move at a high speed for a long time without becoming out of breath.

Otherwise, you can forget about running the map properly.

Bai Ye used to frequently run around in the wilderness.

After transmigrating, he stopped running as much. At first, he used vehicles, then flying machines. After awakening his powers, Bai Ye started flying on his own.

Walking honestly on the ground, there really weren't many times.

However, after reliving the feeling of the past for a while, Bai Ye stopped walking. After all, they still had things to do, and efficiency was the priority.

The vehicle was taken from the inventory.

"This thing can actually be hidden?" Laurentina asked incredulously.

Although she had known for a long time that Bai Ye could carry all sorts of outrageous things with him, this was the first time she had ever seen such a large contraption as a vehicle.

"It used to only be able to put motorcycles in, but it seems to have been upgraded again, and now vehicles can be put in too—as long as they're not moving tiles or big things like Rhodes Island." Bai Ye said, checking the fuel levels of the vehicles.

Laurentina pondered for a moment, then looked at Bai Ye and asked:

"Can I try?"

"No problem, just don't break it."

The fuel situation is good, enough for them to reach their destination in Yan Kingdom.

Laurentina's driving skills were surprisingly good; although it was her first time driving, she was almost indistinguishable from a seasoned driver.

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

Several days later, Bai Ye and Laurentina arrived near their destination. Just as Bai Ye had expected, everything went smoothly without any problems.

There were no strange incidents or accidents during the customs process; it was no different from any other ordinary trip abroad.

Bai Ye also paid special attention to his surroundings, but found no suspicious people, meaning that their actions went unnoticed.

“This is… Gouwu,” Bai Ye murmured.

He put his hand in his pocket, and a moment later, the coins that had been hidden in his inventory slid into his pocket.

At this point, the wards placed before the year should be able to come in handy.

"Let me see... Gouwu City, Huiqi Mountain is probably around here." Bai Ye took his hand out of his pocket and then stretched.

"Don't forget the commission yet," Laurentina reminded her.

"Oh right, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it." Bai Ye slapped his forehead.

To have a legitimate reason for entering the country, Byakuya accepted a commission in Lungmen and obtained an entry permit there.

It's more convenient to handle these kinds of things in Longmen, since Longmen is an enclave of the Yan Kingdom.

"The quest you received from the Adventurers' Guild?" Laurentina looked at Bai Ye as he took out a terminal from his pocket, somewhat helplessly.

"Actually, it's not really... How should I put it? Besides a public mission posting channel for all mercenaries, the Adventurers' Guild also has a special posting channel that's specifically for its senior members."

"Only people with a certain status and rank can issue commissions through this channel, and these commissions are carried out by people I personally arrange."

"Because the requirements are quite strict, there aren't many commissions on it yet. I was originally planning to just find one through the public channels, but when I opened this special channel, I happened to see a commission about Yan Country."

Laurentina was also somewhat surprised:

"What a coincidence?!"

"Indeed," Bai Ye laughed. "It seems luck is on my side."

Although Bai Ye could check the backend to see who posted the commission, he wasn't really interested, since it had nothing to do with him.

He just needed an excuse to come to Da Yan, and a more normal identity.

Bai Ye took out the terminal and found the details of the commission on it.

He quickly grasped the general idea.

In short, find a person named Lian Zixu at the Lian Family Martial Arts School and deliver a letter to her.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: What are your tears compared to that?

"This is a really nice place."

Walking on the streets of Gouwu City, Laurentina couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to other countries, the cities here have a more natural style. They are not rigid urban transformations, but a perfect blend of nature and city, where the two complement each other. While enjoying modern life, they also retain a rustic historical weight.

"After all, this is Yan Kingdom, the Terra Kingdom that has maintained its national destiny for thousands of years." Bai Ye compared the map while searching for the Lian Family Martial Arts School hidden in the streets and alleys. "Going to Shang Shu in the future will probably be even more shocking. The Civil Engineering Brother there... no, the Civil Engineering Master directly moved the original mountain onto the moving city."

"..." Laurentina blinked, somewhat incredulous. "This wasn't mentioned at all in the documents."

"Because for them, taking away the features of their hometown is a common practice, and this is not something worth promoting. It's basic for them and not worth mentioning at all."

Bai Ye then stopped at a street corner.

"That's probably where it is."

"You found it just like that? You've been here before?" Laurentina had observed all the steps Bai Ye took from reviewing the request to now.

“Martial arts schools are legal in Da Yan, but they still need to register and have an accurate business address and legal representative. Moreover, they advertise themselves online to attract business, so you can find them with just a simple search,” Bai Ye said, discussing a very practical topic.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the martial arts world was always under the control of the imperial court, and the practice of heroes breaking the law with their martial arts was nonexistent.

After all, the most powerful and extraordinary individuals in the martial arts world were basically recruited by the government after demonstrating their exceptional abilities.

Some of them will leave behind their legacy, and then travel to the northern frontier to fill the gaping hole that will never be filled, for the sake of the Great Yan and the entire civilization of Terra.

Bai Ye certainly knew all this. Back then, he was farming demons outside the defense zone of the Northern Frontier. Then he got kicked and ended up before the official launch of the game.

Even after two or three years, he was still very familiar with these things.

……

"Just go through this alley, and you'll probably find it," Bai Ye couldn't help but complain. "It's so out of the way, no wonder business is so bad."

"Is it possible that the business was never doing well to begin with, so they couldn't secure a place in a good location?" Laurentina offered her opinion.

"So this is a vicious cycle?" Bai Ye shrugged.

Probably -

My business is not doing well.

【Then find a good spot!】

I can't afford the rent for a good location.

【Then you should focus on doing business well!】

“The gym next door is doing better business than this one.” Laurentina looked at Bai Ye suspiciously. “Are you sure you’ve found the right spot?”

Logically speaking, a commission selected by a big shot in Lungmen should be from that big shot, but his current disheveled state is quite suspicious.

Bai Ye shook his head:

"There's an old saying in the Great Yan Kingdom: 'A minor hermit hides in the wilderness, a major hermit hides in the city.' What you see may not be the truth. The culture of the Yan Kingdom is usually reserved and introverted; concealing one's talents is also an art. Perhaps the master of this martial arts school has no ambition in this area at all."

The two walked through the alley and were then stopped by someone.

"This road is blocked." The tall, burly man didn't look very friendly.

A thin man nearby rushed over upon seeing Bai Ye and Laurentina, and tugged at the tall man's hand:

"Gentlemen, my senior brother has a rather bad temper, please bear with him. By the way, where are you going... Lian Family Martial Arts School? Our school is closed today."

"No, we're looking for that... Savage Hoof Gym?" Bai Ye lied through his teeth without batting an eye.

The skinny man and the tall man looked at each other, seemingly unaware of what Bai Ye was talking about.

"You must have gone to the wrong place," the skinny man finally told Bai Ye, turning back to him.

"Yeah……"

Bai Ye sighed, then looked at Laurentina:

"Cover your ears."

The girl nodded.

Then, Bai Ye glanced around and snapped his fingers.

The crisp snap of fingers echoed in the air.

A muffled groan rang out, and one by one, the people surrounding the Lian Family Martial Arts School collapsed. As they lost consciousness, blood flowed from their ears.

"It's been a long time since I've dealt with such an easy enemy..." Bai Ye lowered his hand.

"Let's go and see what's going on inside."

Bai Ye led Laurentina into the Lian Family Martial Arts School.

Honestly, Bai Ye hasn't encountered an enemy so easily defeated with spells derived from his powers in a long time.

He had encountered those kinds of scum before, and one blow to the lungs would knock them all down, but those kinds of situations were really rare.

Every time Bai Ye fought, he felt like he was under immense pressure. Those he fought were basically boss-level opponents in any dungeon.

"Eardrum blast, air column slam? Silky smooth combo." Laurentina could see how Bai Ye had taken down so many guys in one go.

"But this is really fake... They don't even know the name of the gym next to their own martial arts school. It's obviously suspicious," Bai Ye complained.

Laurentina nodded.

……

The two entered the martial arts school and then found an older man supporting an elderly man who was half-lying on the ground and crying.

He didn't even notice when Bai Ye and the other person entered the martial arts school.

"Hey, what's with that look on your face? What's with that look in your eyes? What's with those two lines of tears? ... Help! Call the authorities if you need to, ask for help if you need to. What kind of skill is it to cry here?"

Bai Ye's soft shout woke the uncle up. He looked up and cried:

"Their people surrounded the house completely, and I couldn't even call an ambulance."

"So your tears can defeat those people?" Bai Ye pointed to the old woman on the ground. "Take her to the hospital."

"But it's all outside..."

"How did we get in here when there are so many people around?" Bai Ye said irritably.

"Uh—yes!"

The uncle carried the old man on his back and rushed out.

“I bet this guy is definitely not Lian Zixu,” Bai Ye said.

Laurentina smiled:

"I never expected to encounter so many troubles just from delivering a letter... As expected of you, Bai Ye, you even manage to be so unique when you casually accept a commission."

"Don't mention it..." Bai Ye was also speechless.

At this point, he regretted setting such a high bar—that luck was on his side.

From this perspective, he was actually the unlucky one.

"It's best to leave now before you get involved in anything strange," Laurentina advised.

"Yes, I know, we really have to go. We still have things to do," Bai Ye nodded.

Although that's what he said, Bai Ye's body betrayed him, and he followed the two men to the hospital.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Entering the Painting

"Thank you, my benefactor."

In a private clinic trusted by the Lian family martial arts school in Gouwu, the uncle who had been crying while holding the old man knelt down before Bai Ye and kowtowed three times forcefully.

Bai Ye accepted the three kowtows without any qualms, but when the other party wanted to kowtow a fourth time, Bai Ye reached out and stopped him.

"Although you're a bit old and look rather useless, you're a man of character... However, you're not suited for the martial world," Bai Ye commented.
