reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Let's rewind to two hours before Melantha was still fast asleep...

"Well then, we'll be going now." Bai Ye waved to Zofia and Maria.

“Thank you, Baiye.” Margaret, who is Rhodes Island operator Nearl, thanked Baiye from the side. “You have always taken care of my sister. Without you, her Major journey would probably not have been so smooth.”

"It was just a small favor, I only said a few words to someone I know, it's nothing."

Margaret knew exactly what kind of people the Business Federation was. She also knew that Bai Ye must have done a lot behind the scenes; otherwise, given Maria's foolish behavior, the Business Federation would have taken action long ago, instead of being so lenient now.

Or rather, the fact that they left such a popular competitive knight outside their control was itself highly unusual. If these people were truly so friendly, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to eliminate her, the newly crowned "Radiant Knight." Nearl knew very well that if it weren't for her grandfather's connections and influence, using the guise of being an "Infected" to exile her from Kazimierz and protect her, she would likely have been assassinated by the Unarmored Alliance.

Although Margaret didn't know exactly what Bai Ye had done, it certainly wasn't something as trivial as he claimed.

However, humility has always been one of this big shot's traits. Or rather, he rarely takes credit for others' work, always downplaying the things he does for them, but always remembering the help others have given him.

Just like now:

“I should thank you for introducing me to Miss Zofia. We have a place to stay as soon as we arrive in the Great Knight Territory, instead of having to stay in a hotel.” Bai Ye said with a smile, “Now that things are like this, it would be unreasonable for me not to do something.”

Margaret and Zofia exchanged a smile. It was hard to imagine what kind of environment and education had shaped his current personality.

"By the way, Nearl, you should have received the letter from the Supervisory Council, right?" Bai Ye still habitually called the operator by his code name.

Nearl nodded. The letter assured them that the Nearl family's reputation was preserved, and they wouldn't need to participate in any Knights' Championship. This was good news for Margaret and Maria.

"The Grand Knight Commander has never forgotten you. Remember to pay a visit to that Grandmaster sometime," Bai Ye reminded him.

Margaret nodded.

Clearly, Bai Ye had helped in this, but since Bai Ye didn't want to say, Margaret didn't press him further and kept his kindness in mind.

"Miss Maria, remember to visit Lungmen again in the future. The Lobotomy Institute welcomes you."

There are many researchers now, but there are really not many power armor testers. We can't expect Bai Ye to test them himself all the time, can we?

Maria is indeed the right person.

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

"I didn't expect you to leave so quickly, without even waiting for your student to get up and say goodbye?" Laurentina smiled and nudged Bai Ye as she walked out of the manor.

"After all, I'm not good at saying goodbye... It feels quite awkward." Bai Ye scratched his head.

Bai Ye wanted to say something more, but stopped as if sensing something.

"You guys go ahead, I'll wait for someone here."

Chapter 163 Marna

Although the deep-sea hunters had some doubts, they still left first and headed to the hangar where the "Cyclops" was docked.

Anyway, Bai Ye is the strongest among them, so there's nothing to worry about if she stays here.

For deep-sea hunters, there is no danger on land at all.

Bai Ye, however, remained standing in place.

A short while later, a tall Kuranta man with a newspaper tucked under his arm and a briefcase in his hand passed by.

He has blonde hair similar to Maria and Margaret, and is over 1.9 meters tall, which is indeed much taller than Bai Ye.

This wasn't the first time Bai Ye had seen him. The last time, in the Great Knight Territory, Bai Ye had bumped into this Kuranta while eating a hot dog on the road. At that time, the guy was clearly sizing up Bai Ye, but just as he was about to say something, a phone call from his superior called him away.

Clearly, he's a corporate slave.

However, Bai Ye felt that he was not just a simple corporate slave. After all, what kind of working person has such a temperament? Although he was trying his best to hide his brilliance, that brilliance, though it never shone, never dissipated either.

Upon seeing Bai Ye, the blond Kuranta also stopped. Although Bai Ye was considerably shorter than him, he did not let his guard down. Clearly, he also sensed that the person standing in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.

"We meet again. Don't you have to work overtime today, sir?" Bai Ye asked with a smile. "The Major has just started, so I should be quite busy lately."

“Even though I’m busy, I still have to make time to come back and visit occasionally,” the blonde Kuranta replied.

“Manna Nearl,” Bai Ye said, uttering the name of the Kuranta man before him.

Clearly, he also belongs to the Nearl family. He is the son of old Nearl, Cyril Nearl, and also Margaret and Maria's uncle.

After that "chance encounter," out of curiosity, Bai Ye went to check the files and was surprised to find that there were other people in Lin Guang's house besides the two girls.

“What instructions or orders do you have? I never expected that my name would be known by a member of the Business Federation’s board of directors. It is an honor for me, and I am deeply humbled.” Upon hearing Bai Ye mention his name, Marna Nearl spoke humbly.

"..."

Bai Ye blinked.

This guy……

Clearly, he hadn't expected the Kuranta person before him to utter such a humble statement. Well, it was certain that he knew his identity, and probably also knew of his current influence and past actions through some channels.

“Living like this every day…aren’t you tired?” Bai Ye really couldn’t understand this “Near Light” in front of him. Bai Ye had read his resume and file. He did inherit the magic and power in the bloodline of the Near Light family, and was not weak, but he was willing to be subordinate to others and become a lowly corporate slave.

Moreover, he seemed to have no goals, simply living day after day, trying to fade from people's sight, and living a peaceful life for 10 years. This was also a rather unexpected choice of his, since according to the normal logic, after the eldest son disappeared, the second son of the Linguang family would join the Kanjurokai or the Knights Guild, and then take over the title of Linguang family knight from the ailing Cyril.

However, he chose to join an ordinary company of moderate size and become a corporate slave.

"Thank you for your concern..."

Before Marner could speak, Bai Ye interrupted him:

"There's no need for that. I'm about to embark on a long journey and am merely a guest staying at Zofia's house. If you have something to say to me, just say it. I don't want to see the descendants of the old hero so humble."

“I am not degenerate, it’s just that I never believe that knights of the Nearl need the approval of others to guide their path,” Marna said, regaining his normal tone.

“It seems you have your own plans.” Bai Ye nodded. “Do you need any help? You probably don’t need a promotion or a raise. Hmm… I remember you seem to be very interested in some blocked files? I should have a way to get them for you.”

“It seems you have indeed investigated me.” Marna was not surprised that Bai Ye knew so much.

"With such a unique aura and the ease with which she switches between tone and eye contact, I'm bound to keep an eye on Kuranta, the blonde. I was already paying attention when we bumped into each other on the street last time," Bai Ye said with a smile.

Marna never expected that Bai Ye would remember her for such a small thing:

"Last time, I just wanted to see what kind of person was the helper who suddenly appeared by my niece's side and brought about such a big change to the entire Great Knight Territory."

“Have you considered taking a paid long vacation? Kazimierz should be much better than before. If you don’t have to worry about your juniors, you can probably leave here temporarily?” Bai Ye suggested.

“You know what I’m thinking,” Marna sighed. Although he had only met the young man twice, he knew a great deal about him.

"Yes, that's why I stopped to wait for you. Actually, the Grand Knight Commander has also been wanting to see you, but I think you probably won't go to see her."

“Then I’ll probably disappoint her.” After a pause, Marna continued, “But I’ll consider your kindness.”

All I can do is give you a clue...

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

"Did you see the person you were looking for?" Laurentina asked, looking at Bai Ye who had returned alone.

At this moment, they are waiting for the huge aircraft to be refueled, in preparation for the journey ahead.

"Yes, I saw him. He wanted to find his brother who had been missing for many years. I just stayed behind and gave him a push." ​​Bai Ye nodded.

Maria and Margaret's parents disappeared when they were young, and Marna has been searching for them all these years without success. The whereabouts of the two knights are top secret, as the upper echelons of Kazimierz have kept the news under wraps.

Now, the situation in the Grand Knights Territory seems to have improved, and Marna also plans to go out and search for the two.

Bai Ye relayed some clues to him on behalf of Grand Knight Commander Ioleta Russell.

"It's quite a waste for someone to be willing to bury their talents..." Laurentina remarked after listening to Bai Ye's words.

"After all, everyone has their own choices. I promised the Grand Knight to help him because I wanted to spar with him when he was at his peak."

In the past, Bai Ye always wanted to spar with different people in order to improve his skill level.

Unfortunately, after that moment of enlightenment, none of that mattered anymore. However, since I promised to help others, I still need to keep my word.

Volume 9: 80 Days Around Terra

Chapter One: Miss Blood Demon

Aircraft carry humanity's dream of exploring the sky.

While aircraft are not a common mode of transportation on this land, they are not truly rare either.

Many political entities, and even corporations, own their own aircraft.

However, when the ground crew of the Rhodes Island ship saw the massive "Cyclops" preparing to land on the flight deck, they were dumbfounded.

After all, this thing is just too big. You have to understand that Rhodes Island is a land-based aircraft carrier, almost equivalent to a small mobile city. No matter how big something is, it will appear somewhat insignificant when compared to the main Rhodes Island ship.

However, the "Cyclops" still stood out and was not made inconspicuous by the size of the Rhodes Island ship. Compared to it, the "Bad Guy" aircraft was child's play.

"How much fuel does it take to fly like this? Rhodes Island can't afford to keep such a big guy..." The ground crew uncle scratched his head.

He was quite knowledgeable, having worked at Columbia for a long time and seen all sorts of aircraft, including jetpacks being developed by Columbia's laboratories and high-speed aircraft used by the military.

However, this was the first time he had ever seen someone so big.

Moreover, this thing's flight speed is really not low; in fact, it exceeded the cruising speed of the "Bad Guy" even before it approached Rhodes Island.

However, after seeing that the identification code sent by the aircraft to the control tower was "White Night," the ground crew felt relieved.

That definitely sounds like something this big shot would do.

"No, it's too big. The hangar definitely won't be able to hold it!" The ground crew was afraid that Bai Ye's aircraft would damage Rhodes Island's hangar, since it wasn't originally designed to be this large.

“I’ll just stay on deck for a bit,” Bai Ye explained. “I don’t need to go into the hangar.”

Then, Bai Ye jumped off the aircraft.

"I need to go to the medical department and get the medications I need according to this list."

Bai Ye hasn't updated his inventory of medicines, including Oripathy inhibitors and various healing potions, in a long time.

Last time in Little Hills, Victoria, he almost used up all his last supplies. The limited amount of medicine carried by the rescue team was simply not enough to save the injured civilians who came from several blocks around seeking help.

In truth, Bai Ye's need for these potions has been decreasing. Since a certain point in time, he has rarely been injured. Bai Ye has even forgotten when he last bled.

Oh, it seems that while Skadi was "fighting" with the two deep-sea hunters, she accidentally scratched his back in a moment of distraction.

The last time I fought the Deep Sea Bishop, I overused my mental energy due to using the plasma cannon for the first time, which caused me to have a nosebleed.

……

Bai Ye didn't remember anymore. Anyway, ever since he was able to go toe-to-toe with the Deep Sea Hunter, he had never been in a sorry state again.

Because he doesn't get injured, he doesn't need many medicines, and even his alchemy profession has been put on hold. Before the potions are even prepared, his wounds heal automatically. In addition, Bai Ye no longer needs to harvest players' money and experience in this way, making this secondary profession, which was initially chosen, almost useless on a daily basis.

However, this also made Bai Ye a fairly professional doctor. After all, he had leveled up almost all the prerequisite skills for this secondary profession. With that knowledge alone, he was qualified to work in Rhodes Island's medical department.

……

In the medical department, Bai Ye happened to meet Warfarin.

She had high authority, so she directly snatched the list from Bai Ye's hand, and looking at the long list, she raised an eyebrow:

"With so many medicines, plus regular medications, where are you planning to open a refugee camp?"

"I'm planning to go to Victoria Londinium. I don't know if I'll have a chance to use these things, but I'll keep them in reserve. My stock of medicine is almost empty," Bai Ye replied with a smile.

Warfarin rolled her eyes:

"I almost forgot you also possess spatial Originium Arts, similar to those of the undead..."

Then, the white-haired blood demon girl (well, by blood demon standards, she should indeed be considered young) became unusually serious:

Are you sure you want to enter Lontinim at this time?

She paused, then continued:

“The situation has changed. Lontinim no longer allows any unauthorized persons or groups to enter the city. I believe that with your intelligence network, you are aware of this, and I am confident that you will not be stopped by this form of blockade. However, as far as I know, the current Regent Theresis is summoning the former Sarkaz court.”

"Those guys are the real monsters."

Bai Ye shook his head:

"Of course I know, but I also have reasons why I have to go."

"Then you should have told Kal'tsit, that you can't go alone..." Warfarin rarely showed any conscience. If she had such a thing...

"I'm not going alone, are you coming too? I remember you're a Sarkaz too, maybe if I bring you along, Theresis will turn a blind eye to me," Bai Ye joked.

“Uh… don’t joke like that. Back when Kal’tsit had Mon3tr tie me to this ship…” Warfarin had just started to speak when she suddenly saw Dr. Kal’tsit appear behind Bai Ye.
