Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

The girl explained her thoughts in detail.

Is there something you want to protect?

Bai Ye muttered to himself, then shook his head after a moment: "Not enough."

“Melantha, do you know? The weapon in your hand is something that can easily take a life. Holding a killing tool requires awareness.” Bai Ye said, drawing his weapon. “Never let vanity or curiosity get in the way.”

"Are you prepared to take other people's lives to protect your friends?"

"I……"

Melanie hesitated.

She has never killed anyone.

Bai Ye simply looked at the girl in front of him without saying a word.

After a moment, Melanie shook her head: "Teacher, I don't know."

"Then think about why you are wielding your sword. You may be confused before you draw your sword, but once you have the weapon in your hand, you can only move forward without hesitation."

At first, Bai Ye thought that Melantha's personality might not be suitable for combat, but now he has discovered that she is a strong girl and perhaps she can also become an excellent warrior.

"And what is the teacher fighting for?" Melantha suddenly asked.

Bai Ye was stunned; he hadn't expected Melantha to ask such a question.

He had never considered this kind of problem.

"I... don't need a reason to fight to wield my weapon."

Bai Ye used to be a player, and for players to fight is a matter of course, so he never had any troubles in this regard.

"Melantha, finding a reason to fight is to prevent yourself from becoming lost. Otherwise, if your heart is not firm, you cannot wield a weapon. How can you fight if you can't even hold a sword steadily?"

"As for me, by the time I came to my senses, I was already able to draw my sword without batting an eye."

As he spoke, Bai Ye drew his weapon.

It's still the same weapon as before; this one is sufficient for training.

Bai Ye is a weapon master, so there is no issue of having to readjust when changing weapons; he can use any weapon with ease.

Melantha also drew her longsword, and before the battle, she suddenly spoke up: "Actually... Miss Franka also asked me this question."

"Then I asked her too."

"What was her answer?" Bai Ye asked curiously.

She said that it's very fortunate to have a reason to fight before you actually fight...

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

"That fat fox, he's actually quite good at talking..."

He paused, then looked at Melantha: "Enough of this small talk. I will now teach you swordsmanship."

In his previous life, Bai Ye had learned numerous sword techniques. After transmigrating, he gained a talent and combined his sword techniques with his talent to form his own martial arts philosophy.

Of course, this thing is not suitable for Melantha.

But even setting that aside, he was still able to correct Melantha's sword movements, the way she used her strength, and various techniques.

“Melantha, there are limits to human beings. I cannot help you break through those limits, but I can teach you how to unleash your full potential.”

……

"He's quite serious about teaching... I originally thought he'd mess around like before."

In the distance, Aya watched Baiye teaching Melantha and couldn't help but complain.

At first, she thought Bai Ye couldn't be a good teacher, since no normal person would drive a motorcycle in the snow to hurt someone, or throw someone off a flying vehicle.

But now it seems that Bai Ye is actually quite suitable to be an instructor and teacher.

They're just prone to acting recklessly.

“Actually, the supervisor is a very gentle person…” Ansel said from the side.

"Is making you run around with those Yetis and fight against the Ursus Empire's infected picket line considered gentle?"

Just thinking about Aya makes me angry.

If Kal'tsit knew that her company's action team was fighting against the soldiers of the Ursus Empire, would she just run over and grab Bai Ye by the ear?

However, on the other hand, Aya also experiences a sense of vengeful pleasure.

After all, the Ursus Empire was her enemy.

These people killed her parents and destroyed her family.

Watching them perish is a good consolation.

Originally, after realizing that she had no chance of avenging herself against the Ursus Empire, she was unwilling to stay here for even a second; but now, she has returned to this land.

"I hope these infected people can reach their homes as Baiye said..." Aya sighed.

Ansel, however, was worried: "I heard they want to seize the mobile city... If that happens, war may break out."

"What will we do when we get caught up in it?"

Ya Ye smiled and gestured with her chin toward Bai Ye, who was not far away: "Let him take care of this kind of thing."

"Although he says no, he always finds a way to solve the problem. After all, you're right, he's a gentle person."

Book Three: When the Stars Shine

Chapter One: Main Story Begins

(The author can only add images by editing the chapter after it has been published, so it is recommended to refresh the chapter before reading.)

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

Under the covert manipulation of the White Night, the main storyline of Arknights Online versions 1.0-2.0 gradually began to become clear.

That is to assist the Reunion Movement in thwarting the Black Serpent's plot, traversing the frozen winter of Ursus, and reaching Chernobog.

This is a main quest that has been certified by the system. It can be called the expansion's main quest, the world's grand storyline, or the Demon God quest—whatever the player wants to call it.

Bai Ye also found this entry on his NPC panel.

The so-called main storyline refers to large-scale story missions that have been certified by the world and can generate dungeons after completion. The ending of these missions can usually affect the world's structure and future direction.

This is what is known as a world line node.

Players can participate in missions, and the ending of the mission storyline is not fixed; it can be successful, but it may also fail.

Therefore, even though what he was doing was certified by the game system, Bai Ye only breathed a sigh of relief, but did not relax too much.

After all, this isn't some RPG. In the real world, there are no save/load functions, and no fixed endings. Bai Ye only has one chance; failure means the end.

At some point, he found himself unable to let go of the infected members of the Reunion Movement, as well as his friends like Talulah.

It all started as a collaboration, ultimately a relationship of mutual benefit and cooperation. Bai Ye simply wanted to use the Reunion Movement to plan his schemes in Chernobog's core city, and incidentally, take a side trip in the main storyline.

However, he now sees this matter as a task he must complete.

Bai Ye didn't know why, but when he saw the infected walking tenaciously on the frozen ground, struggling to survive, when he watched Talulah laughing and talking about her ideals by the campfire, when he saw Big Daddy silently watching his daughter and Talulah playing together, he could no longer stay out of it.

"Well, actually, this isn't bad either."

Bai Ye looked at the flickering firelight in the distance and the Reunion Movement cadres sitting there, and muttered to himself.

"good chance!"

Melantha didn't know why her teacher would be distracted during the battle, so she seized the opportunity and swung her longsword at Bai Ye.

"Ding--"

Bai Ye easily blocked the girl's attack. He flipped his wrist, dodged the blade, and bypassed Melantha's defense, stopping his longsword in front of Melantha's neck.

"call--"

Melantha dropped the longsword in her hand. The final blow had exhausted her last bit of strength. She sat down on a rock nearby, panting, looking dazed.

Bai Ye handed her a sports drink. The girl didn't react at first, just staring blankly ahead. Bai Ye then pressed the cold can against the girl's cheek, which startled her awake.

"Teacher, are you a monster? I was clearly daydreaming..." Melansha felt a sense of defeat. Although Bai Ye was just casually swinging the long sword in his hand, it gave her the illusion that a mountain was blocking her way.

"I did get distracted..." Bai Ye said apologetically, realizing that he had suddenly thought of something else while teaching Melantha.

Perhaps it was because I saw such a heartwarming scene.

"Hmm, I managed to get a point last time when Franka was distracted. But it's still not working out with you, Teacher." Melantha was curious as to why the powerful White Night Teacher hadn't become an elite operator, but instead became a department head.

The supervisor is still running around everywhere.

"It's good to be able to find the flaw, I just... reacted a little too quickly."

Even without using Mind Acceleration, Bai Ye's dynamic vision and reaction speed are enhanced as his attributes improve. As long as he concentrates, the world in front of him will become slower and slower.

Using it to bully Melantha is really cheating.

"Perhaps I should give you a break?" Bai Ye scratched his head. He had never been a teacher and didn't know how to train students.

Even when he was carrying newbies or paying customers in the game, he wouldn't teach them anything. He would just kill his way through and leave the customers to pick up the trash.

Melantha shook her head. Although she felt somewhat frustrated, the girl still learned a lot from it, such as that flaws might be fake and that while seizing an opportunity, one also needs to make careful judgments.

"I'll be busy from now on, and I might not have as much time to teach you." Bai Ye put away his weapon. "Practice what I've taught you first."

"I will inspect it in a while."

There's never enough time in the day and night.

As I mentioned before, he wished he could split himself into five equal parts to use.

I simply don't have the time to teach this student every day.

"Thank you, teacher." In fact, Melantha had benefited greatly these days. Bai Ye's teaching methods were completely different from Franka's. He could easily find the problems in the girl's swordsmanship movements by perfectly replicating Melantha's movements.

Therefore, Melanie felt that she had improved significantly.

……

Bai Ye walked towards the campfire.

Talulah smiled and handed him a bowl of potato soup.

"I just saw you teaching your employees swordsmanship?" Talulah asked casually.

"Well, I guess so..." Bai Ye nodded.

"I never expected someone like you to take on students." Frostnova raised an eyebrow.

"This must be prejudice... What do you mean by 'someone like me'?" Bai Ye was speechless. "She brought it up herself."

Alina blinked: "I bet Mr. Baiye said he thought it was too much trouble, but then he agreed... Am I right, Mr. Baiye?"

Bai Ye looked like he'd just seen Hoshiguma; this little deer spirit was the real hidden boss!

“Suddenly I feel… the camp is so spacious,” Talulah remarked.

“Yes, it’s very quiet, not as noisy as during the day.” Frostnova nodded in agreement.

Bai Ye then realized that the player had logged off.

Generally, apart from hardcore gamers, players won't be online 24/7, since there aren't many people who play games full-time.

Once the lively players left, the camp became quiet.

Even those who are still online won't be grinding monsters under the cover of night anymore. They usually chat or process materials in their own camps, or they might even go to the Infected members of the Reunion Movement to build up their goodwill.

Bai Ye glanced at the people sitting around the campfire and slowly said, "Isn't it time for you to start that first?"

Chapter Two: Preparations for the Elite Seating at the Bridge University

As Bai Ye finished speaking.

The officials who had been chatting stopped.
