reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

He achieved his goal.

However, Kal'tsit did not appear relaxed.

She opened the terminal, looked at Bai Ye, and slowly said:

"We're far from ready to rest. You might need to work non-stop."

Bai Ye glanced at the terminal in Kal'tsit's hand.

Although the text is too small to read clearly, the markings next to the title indicate that it is a telegram from the Iberian Tribunal.

After being encrypted, the intelligence was transmitted through multiple base stations and eventually reached Kal'tsit. Clearly, transmitting intelligence from the coast to the interior was no easy task.

"Is it about the deep sea?" Bai Ye asked.

Kelsey nodded:

“Our old friends, the saints of the Inquisition, sent us an urgent telegram. They would not have asked us for help unless the situation was extremely urgent.”

Bai Ye also agrees with this.

He had dealt with the Iberian courts, a group of incredibly strong and stubborn men who would not send urgent telegrams inland unless absolutely necessary.

Chapter 107 So you still remember this is an online game?

"Saint Carmen told us two things. First, they found a way to reach the deep sea; second, the operation against the Deep Sea Church went very smoothly at first, and they successfully cleared out and destroyed many of the Deep Sea Church's strongholds, but this also provoked a concentrated counterattack from the Deep Sea Church."

After a pause, Kal'tsit continued:

"Clearly, the latter is the real reason they had to ask us for help. The Deep Sea Church has somehow managed to get the Sea Heirs to launch a frenzied attack on towns along the Iberian coast, and there's a tendency for this attack to spread inland."

She then added:

"What's worse is that this time, Haisi's offensive is not aimless and extravagant, but rather a highly targeted attack on the Inquisition's strongholds, fortresses, and strongholds. At the same time, they also attacked the arsenal and armory. They also cut off the supply lines between cities. This has never happened before."

Kal'tsit's words made Bai Ye realize that the Deep Sea Church was clearly involved and was carrying out targeted retaliation.

The only thing worth noting is what methods these cultists used to incite the sea creatures to attack the land.

It's important to understand that the Sea Creatures don't attack land without reason, nor do they follow the instructions of the so-called Deep Sea Church, which is essentially a cult. Based on Bai Ye's understanding of these creatures, they are not as terrifying as people imagine.

This is a very simple species.

Unfortunately, even the nascent being residing within Bai Ye is unaware of the origins of its own race. This prevents Bai Ye from leveraging the vast knowledge available to learn more about the Sea Heirs.

Even so, Bai Ye alone cannot clear the name of the Sea Si, especially cannot change the Iberian hatred towards the Sea Si species. After all, it was indeed they who caused that disaster decades ago—the Great Tranquility.

Bai Ye felt he could even persuade the Deepsea Hunters to let go of their past prejudices and hatred, especially since they realized they also shared the blood of the Sea Heirs. But he couldn't do that with Iberia. He could only try his best to resolve the situation, at least to help Iberia escape its current predicament.

"It seems I'll have to go to Iberia... I have a feeling that this time, we should be able to completely resolve the Haisi problem."

This unfounded confidence was indeed quite strange, but the answer came from Bai Ye's intuition. This made Bai Ye absolutely certain that his intuition had never been wrong.

"Should we ask other countries for help?" Kal'tsit was somewhat unsure.

She worried that relying solely on Rhodes Island's main fleet and Iberia wouldn't be enough to stop the Sea King's offensive. Perhaps this was a catastrophe threatening the entire continent of Terra, no less devastating than the crisis Bai Ye had previously resolved in Londinium.

Originium, Sealing, Demons... whichever it is, they all possess the terrifying power to push this planet into the abyss.

Just a matter of time.

"Your planet really chose a less-than-ideal refuge location," Kal'tsit couldn't help but complain to White Night.

Ever since Bai Ye explained his origins to her, Kal'tsit had wanted to say this for a long time. To be honest, Terra didn't seem like a suitable planet for refuge; the situation here was far worse than Bai Ye's former homeland.

Bai Ye shook his head:

"Here, as long as we are united, there is still a possibility of solving the problem. But on our side, once the star is destroyed, the entire star system will be plunged into an abyss of no return. No matter how united we are, there will be no better solution than we are now."

Given enough time, humanity could indeed build enough starships equipped with hyperspace engines, and use advance teams to explore habitable planets before migrating the entire civilization.

Unfortunately, they had very little time left.

“What a pity…” Kal’tsit pressed her head, recalling some distant memories of the past, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak about those things from the past of the previous civilization.

Bai Ye ignored Kal'tsit's actions and instead took the terminal from the doctor's hand to examine it.

As Kal'tsit said, the situation was indeed quite bad.

“Victoria is not far from Iberia. The two countries are neighboring states, and their fleets have even fought in the inland seas…” It is actually quite simple to send reinforcements to Iberia immediately.

However, as Kal'tsit said before, the problem of the deep sea has always plagued this land, and no one can remain unaffected, whether the nations are aware of it or not.

"Let's give limited notification to our allies..." Bai Ye finally made the decision.

However, this does not include all countries in the core circle.

Moreover, Bai Ye didn't actually expect to rely on the power of these countries to solve the problem. In fact, this was an opportunity for him.

Players today certainly have a presence on this land, but if they lose the many benefits that come with being a "player" through projection and become physical beings almost indistinguishable from other races, can they truly integrate into this land?

Bai Ye believes that these Earthlings who will be relocated to this world in the future will need an opportunity to integrate into this world, or an opportunity to showcase themselves to the Terra continent.

And now, it is indeed a good opportunity. What could be more convincing than saving the world?

Bai Ye felt he should thank the Deep Sea Church for giving the player a chance to perform; it was like someone handing him a pillow when he was sleepy.

Players have been playing the new version of the Arena for over a month now, and are basically tired of it. They don't spend all day in it; usually, it's just a quick break before logging off each day, maybe a couple of ranked or casual matches. More often than not, the Arena is just a way for players to settle old scores with a solo duel.

Bai Ye knew that this was a very normal situation. After all, arenas are usually functional facilities that are operated in the long term. People play them every day, but the popularity will not be as high as when they were first opened.

In the past, the official team would organize large-scale tournaments for each version to maintain popularity, but usually, players were allowed to use the game normally. This is the current norm, although there are always some native viewers who come to watch the matches.

……

In other words, from now on, White Night will allow players to break free from the increasingly dull and uneventful arena and embark on a thrilling and exciting event.

Hmm, it seems like it didn't have much of a presence before...

Chapter 108 Goredia's Transformation

(The new game "Snow Woman" from Kaleidoscope will be released in April)

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

Although the next steps have been decided, neither Bai Ye nor Kal'tsit will set off immediately.

The Iberian Tribunal and the National Defense Forces are not weak and will not be overwhelmed in an instant; they can hold out for some time. Kal'tsit and the engineers need to adjust Rhodes Island's main ship to adapt it to the coastal environment and to provide it with some defensive capabilities against attacks from the Sea Legion.

Meanwhile, Kal'tsit needed time to notify and unite with her allies. This old woman's social circle was even wider than Bai Ye's; their combined connections encompassed almost half of the continent of Latai. In the end, the countries that weren't notified might be in an even more awkward position, as they were the minority.

As for Bai Ye, he needed to rest and better adapt to the increased power he gained after leveling up and allocating points. The battles to come would be far more arduous than those on land. Moreover, Bai Ye had almost exhausted his experience points, and it would be difficult for him to achieve such significant improvements in the future.

At level 65, with all four attributes exceeding 100, that's probably the limit for now. Bai Ye estimated the experience points needed for future level-ups and the experience points he could gain later, feeling that he could only increase his character level by 2 at most before the world merges.

better than nothing.

It would be better to save it to learn new skills or upgrade existing skills.

In addition, the situation in Lentinium will likely take some time to resolve.

……

While lost in thought, Bai Ye had already returned to his dormitory on the Rhodes Island main ship. He hadn't stayed here for a long time. However, the room was still relatively clean, because the robot "Little Helper," which Miss Goddess had modified, cleaned the room every day.

The three deep-sea hunters returned to their dormitory much earlier than Bai Ye. Since they had nothing to do, they tidied up their room and changed the sheets.

When Bai Ye entered the dormitory room, he was immediately greeted by a damp atmosphere. Clearly, the Deep Sea Hunters had modified their living environment.

Fortunately, Bai Ye had grown accustomed to the humidity that could cause arthritis in ordinary people, and even felt quite at home in it. After all, a newborn was also residing in his body, so strictly speaking, he was practically a half-deep-sea hunter. Whether it was humidity or the ocean, Bai Ye's adaptability was actually quite good; it was just that his powers might not be as easily utilized in the water as they were on land.

"Your clothes are torn again. It seems that materials science on land is indeed a bit backward." Grandia glanced at Bai Ye's clothes and took them off for him with a sigh.

As time went by, Goredia gradually integrated into this peculiar little group, and she no longer made the atmosphere too awkward. This was something Bai Ye hadn't expected. It seemed that it was after that incident in Saltwind City that Goredia's attitude towards him changed noticeably.

Bai Ye wasn't sure why, but since then, Gladys had clearly become much gentler. At least when facing him, she no longer showed hostility or arrogance. In fact, Bai Ye wondered if it was just his imagination, but sometimes he felt that Gladys would inexplicably blush when she saw him. However, every time Bai Ye tried to confirm it, he found that she simply had a straight face.

However, Goredia was able to perform such slightly intimate gestures naturally. Even Bai Ye didn't sense anything wrong with it.

After removing his slightly worn, battle-damaged overcoat, which was practically trash, Bai Ye changed into loose casual clothes. Almost all of his clothing was custom-made, similar to the combat gear worn by deep-sea hunters, all designed to withstand high-intensity combat.

In the past, when Bai Ye wasn't as strong, battles didn't consume clothing. However, later on, clothes and shoes being torn apart became commonplace. This was something Bai Ye hadn't experienced as a player. After all, he was just a projection back then, and his equipment was mostly data-driven. Plus, there were no fan service scenes during battles due to anti-censorship measures.

The clothing modified by Rhodes Island's engineering department has indeed improved its strength considerably. In addition, White Night usually covers his body with a layer of nitrogen armor, so he won't run out of clothes after a full-force battle.

Of course, as Gladys said, land-based technology is definitely not as advanced as their amazing Agor technology. Therefore, while it wouldn't cause the clothes to tear, there would still be some wear and tear, unlike Skadi and the others' combat suits, which would never tear no matter how they were worn.

“If you have another chance to return to the deep sea, let our scientific administrator help you get a sturdier set of clothes,” Goredia said softly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye blinked and asked in surprise:

"You already know?"

This question surprised the deep-sea hunters. Laurentina, who was sitting on the sofa, using chopsticks to fight Skadi for potato chips, looked at Bai Ye with some confusion, not understanding what he was talking about.

"Uh, what's with using chopsticks to pick up potato chips..." Bai Ye was first taken aback by Miss Ghost Shark's strange operation, and then relayed Kal'tsit's message about Iberia's plea for help to the Deep Sea Hunters.

……

"Hmm, so that means we have a chance to go home?" Although this news seemed like a dream come true for the Deepsea Hunters, Skadi's tone wasn't as excited as she had expected when she actually heard it.

Even Greta and Laurentina remained relatively calm, as if it were just ordinary news.

"The way back, is it by boat?" Goredia recalled the literature she had read before, and was not surprised by this method.

Iberia had previously taken in refugees from the Agorians and acquired the technology they brought ashore. Using this technology, Iberia became a maritime power, possessing an incredibly large fleet at its peak.

This naturally includes giant ships capable of reaching deep into the ocean.

Goredia was simply surprised that Iberia, which had been silent for so long since the "Great Tranquility," could still find large ships left over from the Golden Age, and that these things were even usable and had not turned into a lump of metal.

"We should get ready; we could leave at any time," Bai Ye reminded him.

Chapter 109 Battle, Exhilarating!

That being said, there doesn't seem to be much to prepare. Especially for deep-sea hunters, they can simply pack their weapons and set off.

Bai Ye was ready to take a good rest, but interestingly, the girls didn't seem very willing to do so.

When Greta went to the bathroom as usual in the evening, Laurentina was the first to press herself against Bai Ye.

"Shouldn't you give me the injection?" Laurentina asked with a smile.

Behind that smile seemed to carry a kind of astonishing pressure, like a hunter eyeing its prey, making Bai Ye feel a chill down his spine.

Seemingly sensing Laurentina's ill intentions, Skadi also moved closer, standing tightly next to Bai Ye and staring at her companion.

"Shark, don't sneak away," Skadi whispered, but her tone was serious, as if she were warning Laurentina.

However, the mischievous nun paid no attention, ignoring Skadi's warning, and instead pointed at Skadi's clothes, saying:

"If you didn't have any other intentions, why would you change into this outfit? Hmm, isn't it the one Bai Ye gave you last time?"

……

Bai Ye sighed. Although he really wanted to rest, it seemed he had to change his approach to resting. Otherwise, the girls probably wouldn't let it go today.

"I've just leveled up, and my attributes have improved. I need to get used to it through combat... Come at me all at once."

Hand-to-hand combat with deep-sea hunters is clearly the best way to improve one's mastery of the body, and to prevent damaging the furniture, one must also carefully control one's strength. Being distracted and preoccupied with other things during high-intensity combat is also a considerable challenge for Bai Ye.

So, at Bai Ye's suggestion, the three of them began their long-awaited battle. Thanks to his improved attributes, Bai Ye could now gain the upper hand even when fighting two opponents at once, a completely different feeling from when he was suppressed by the two deep-sea hunter girls before.

However, Bai Ye also needs to control his power to prevent the commotion from destroying Rhodes Island. If that happens, he'll have to be prepared to face Kal'tsit's wrath. He should only stay at Rhodes Island occasionally, and make sure he doesn't destroy someone else's home.

However, while the floors of Rhodes Island were relatively sturdy, the furniture certainly couldn't withstand the destructive power of three skilled fighters. To avoid the awkward situation of having nowhere to sleep that night, the three had to fight as far away from the beds as possible.

This results in the poor furniture in the dormitory—sofas, coffee tables… in short, rarely being used, and having to endure forces they shouldn’t have to bear.

Fortunately, before Laurentina got carried away with her excitement, she remembered to turn off and put away Grandia's little helper. Otherwise, this guy might have been caught in the aftermath of the battle, causing the captain of the deep-sea hunters to tear his own team members apart...

……

Therefore, when Grétia emerged from her bath, she found the room in complete disarray, and Bai Ye belatedly cleaning up the "battlefield," along with two Deep Sea Hunters resting on the bed, both satisfied with their sexual encounter. She felt as if she had been transported to another world.

Fortunately, she took a long bath, so she didn't directly witness the three-person fight, avoiding a lot of embarrassment. However, she was still a little embarrassed at this moment.

"cough……"

Even Bai Ye felt a little embarrassed upon seeing Gladys emerge. There was no way around it; Rhodes Island's main ship was indeed short of space, and with the increasing number of operators, the dormitories were becoming insufficient. It was truly difficult to keep a dormitory vacant for Bai Ye and the others for an extended period, so Bai Ye couldn't apply for an extra dormitory for Gladys alone.

The four people were crammed together, but one of them was in a rather awkward situation, which made it quite uncomfortable.
