Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Bai Ye nodded. Skadi, who had regained her strength, no longer needed his concern. Apart from a few people and giant beasts who required attention, Skadi was invincible on this land.

……

Skadi's room was a typical Rhodes Island dormitory, and she hadn't made any changes to the layout or made any requests to the logistics department. The entire dormitory was completely undecorated.

The walls are exposed with a metallic sheen, and the tables and chairs are all basic, simple designs.

Just as Bai Ye was about to say something, Skadi suddenly walked up to him, picked him up without saying a word, and threw him onto the bed next to him.

Bai Ye didn't have the power to resist Skadi for the time being, so he could only let the girl pin him down on the bed.

"Hey, hey—" Bai Ye had a strange premonition.

He guessed what would happen next.

“You are getting stronger and stronger… Although you can’t yet, there are some things you can still do—after all, that’s what you taught me.”

"I heard that this is how you people on land express gratitude?"

Skadi spoke expressionlessly, then gripped the hilt of her sword.

"Hiss—who taught you that in the back?" Bai Ye gasped.

“I love this feeling, that you not only crave my power, but also me as a person… After that great battle, I felt needed again.”

“Deepsea hunters weren’t allowed to do this before, but now, we don’t need to worry about that anymore…”

Skadi rambled on and on, then bent down...

Bai Ye felt enveloped by the gentle sea, and he personally experienced the exquisite Skadi sword technique.

The ever-surging tides propelled him higher; the gentle yet powerful ocean allowed him to forget all his weariness and worries.

Many stories unfolded that night, like the emerald springs in an emerald forest, like marble bathed in moonlight, like fruit falling silently onto the grass, and like a traveler writing a book about it.

……

"But to be honest, the civilization on land is too weak. Rhodes Island not only lacks smart toilets with automatic flushing, but your bathtubs are too small... and even the quality of your beds is so poor..."

As dawn broke, Skadi looked at the shattered bed and shook her head helplessly.

The bathtub in the bathroom also shattered.

Bai Ye's lips twitched slightly.

It's not that the bed is bad, it's that you're too amazing, silly Didi...

This is under the condition that he has no way to fight back. If he becomes strong enough to fight Skadi hand-to-hand, what bed will be able to withstand their noise?

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

Skadi and Byakuya stayed on Rhodes Island for two days. Afterward, Skadi prepared to continue investigating the clues she had found, while Byakuya prepared to go to Chernobog in person to carry out the final stage of his plan.

Moreover, he had been gone for too long, and too many players had gathered, so Bai Ye was worried that things would get out of hand.

After his article was published, various political entities paid more and more attention to the players, and Bai Ye couldn't let others steal all his profits.

Every battle with Skadi strengthened his belief in becoming stronger. Even though his personal level exceeded 30 and his attributes exceeded 50 points, he still felt somewhat powerless and unable to resist Skadi's immense strength.

What does "pure power" even mean...?

In the end, it was clearly Skadi who was holding back. She knew she couldn't cross that line, otherwise it wouldn't be a question of whether the bed would collapse, but whether Bai Ye could survive.

Deepsea Heavy Industry lives up to its name.

However, Bai Ye was glad that she had transmigrated to the continent of Terra, and not some ship girl world.

Skadi's power is still within the realm of biological beings, but those admirals are facing ship girls...

For example, the famous Lexington has a standard displacement of 33,000 tons and a rated power of 35200 kilowatts, which is beyond the range that humans can withstand.

Not to mention those guys from the Deep Sea faction...

What a pitiful admiral.

Bai Ye returned to her dormitory while lost in thought.

Skadi has always been straightforward, and she left Rhodes Island a step ahead of White Night.

Bai Ye still needs to make some preparations.

He is not as powerful as Skadi; ​​his spells currently require enhancement with a spellcasting staff, his liquid nitrogen needs replenishment, and his weapons need maintenance.

At the same time, Bai Ye also needs to replenish the Originium explosives he squandered in Iberia.

This time, Dr. Kal'tsit was generous enough to let Rhodes Island reimburse the expenses for these explosives.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye also confirmed his guess with the doctor. Before going to Iberia, Dr. Kal'tsit had indeed contacted his old friends in Letania and Colombia.

Bai Ye was able to rise to become a renowned scholar in this land and make a name for himself in the academic world thanks to the help of Dr. Kal'tsit.

"I've incurred another favor..."

Chapter Seventy-Four: The ending of the story is up to me.

The situation in Ursus was more complex and turbulent than White Night had imagined.

Since the late emperor left and the benefits of war have been exhausted, the internal conflicts have become increasingly complex and severe.

The old aristocratic forces have been trying to regain their former status, but the newly emerging aristocracy will obviously not allow their share of the pie to be taken away.

The benevolent new emperor of Ursus wanted to treat the infected well and closed the infected mines located in the northwestern frozen lands, but this was opposed by the military.

The biggest obstacle was not the protests from the people, but the fact that the decree would shake the interests of the border troops. A large part of the profits of the nobles who controlled the border came from their monopoly on the entire industrial chain, from Originium mining to refining.

Border cities that want to obtain Originium have no choice but to submit to the army, be subject to their constraints, and accept all sorts of harsh conditions.

Now, the new nobles, the peace-loving forces who support the new emperor, have begun to formally attack the old nobles who advocate war. They are using this as an excuse, starting with the "Chernoberg Scientific Research Institute Massacre" from twenty years ago, and launching attacks on the old nobles in the Imperial Diet and in front of the emperor.

The parliament hall was bustling with activity every day, and witness Sergei had gone from an insignificant nobody to the focus of attention.

Every day, people try to assassinate him, while many others protect him. Some even attempt to bribe him.

Fortunately, no one was able to break through the inner guard's final line of defense. The masked soldiers, who had been reprimanded by the emperor, could only curse Bai Ye for his lack of martial ethics while diligently fulfilling the duties assigned to them by the emperor.

White Nights needs to thank Sergei for his efforts, because after some time, Emperor Fyodor Vladimirovich sent an inspection team to the garrisons of the Third and Fourth Armies.

Secretly, several members of the Imperial Guard also began investigating Grand Prince Baikal and Viscount Dunkel.

The Fifth Army Group, which was controlled by the reformist new imperial faction, was also secretly mobilized, constantly on guard against the movements of other army groups.

Under these circumstances, the army group had no time to pay attention to the movements of Chernobog and the Reunion Movement. They were overwhelmed with their own problems, and even after the arrival of the Internal Security, their subordinates were no longer able to receive direct orders from their superiors.

Bai Ye knew that their opportunity had arrived.

In October of 1096, two months before the impending natural disaster, White Night officially began its operation.

First, Baiye needs to gather the players.

In his view, this first version of the game's main storyline should also be coming to its final chapter.

After a version update, players' strength has increased considerably. Although they are limited by equipment, heavy firepower, and skills, and are not as disciplined as regular armies, making them unable to compete with the Ursus Empire's army groups, they are still a formidable force.

Moreover, their opponent is not the army. With the Ursus Empire's attention diverted by internal conflicts, there will be no army to hinder Bai Ye's plans.

The only thing blocking their way was the Chernobog military and police, as well as the standing riot police.

For both of these, the information gap will bring huge advantages, and White Night has other ways to weaken the city's resistance and minimize casualties.

After all, unlike in their previous lives, this time their goal wasn't to create riots or seek revenge; they wanted to start a revolution. Meaningless violence and killing would only breed more hatred, and what the Reunion Movement needed was a new homeland.

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

With the release of the White Night quest, more and more players are heading towards Chernobog.

Without a doubt, this will be the climax and end of the main storyline of the first version of Arknights Online.

Bai Ye underestimated his own influence.

Compared to the mere 50 players who initially followed him from the outer ring of Lungmen to the Ursus Frozen Wasteland, the current number of players is difficult to count.

Player turnover is too high; some players won't log in for several days due to factors outside the game, making it extremely difficult to calculate the exact number. After all, Bai Ye isn't the actual game official; he doesn't know the number of player logins, daily active users, or the distribution of players in different regions.

Players are now convinced that Reunion is the main protagonist of the game; they are a group of infected people who have been oppressed and bullied, and most of them are slaves rescued from the mines.

Their leader is a noblewoman who was persecuted for becoming infected, and even her father was murdered. With her family destroyed, she was forced to flee to the frozen lands and plot a great revenge, so that these oppressed people could reclaim what was rightfully theirs from the corrupt empire.

What a classic storyline! Players firmly believe they are on the side of justice. Although the story is old-fashioned, it still provides a strong sense of immersion and participation.

After all, everyone wants to be a hero.

Of course, many people don't care about the game's storyline at all; they don't care about the faction they belong to. However, since these are main quests generated by the game system, marked with exclamation marks, players will follow along and complete the quests.

Everyone knows that the Demon God quest is the most important because it offers the best rewards.

Bai Ye was both amused and exasperated when he learned about this on the forum. He never imagined that because of his various actions, Rhodes Island, which was the protagonist in his previous life, would become a supporting character.

The Reunion Movement was the protagonist of the first version.

This turn of events was quite dramatic.

At the same time, Bai Ye also figured out how the game system works. She will make major events that can affect the course of the world the main plot, but it will not care about how the story ends.

In their previous lives, the Reunion Movement was a group of thugs whose leader, Tarua, turned to the dark side, making them the villains, the enemies, and the targets to be defeated.

This time, Black Serpent's plot was thwarted, so the Reunion Movement transformed into the protagonist of the story, while the corrupt Marquis Boris and the Army Group became the villains.

The biggest factor that caused the change in the world line was naturally Bai Ye, a time traveler who crossed time and dimensions.

"I probably understand..."

Bai Ye vaguely felt as if he had grasped something.

In a sense, the direction of this world is also in his hands.

"I'm even a little impressed with myself. Even in this situation, I haven't gotten cocky..."

White Night Talks to Himself.

Then, he slowly put on his signature Rhodes Island supervisor uniform and straightened his collar.

"Then, I'll decide how the story ends!"

"I will change the fate of those infected!"

Chapter Seventy-Five: Messenger of Natural Disasters - White Night

After more than a month of meticulous preparation, Bai Ye began the first step of his plan.

……

"Based on the various data indicators I have collected, combined with the Originium energy fluctuation patterns in the Chernobog area over the years, meteorological spectra, precursors to the formation of natural disaster clouds, and other factors, we predict that a natural disaster will occur within the next month."

"Chernobog must immediately deviate from its original course, devise a new route, and take precautions against potential future natural disasters."

"Report Submitter, Crisis Contract, Catastrophe Messenger, White Night."

……

White Night, together with other nearby natural disaster messengers, submitted the natural disaster warning to the Ursus Empire's official authorities and Chernobog.

Due to the authority of the crisis contract, and the fact that Chernobog's own disaster messenger has endorsed the report, Chernobog is proceeding with the evacuation process according to procedure.

"Baiye, when did you become a messenger of natural disasters again?" Talulah asked curiously, looking at Baiye standing to the side.

Bai Ye said dismissively, "Since I'm a messenger, it's perfectly normal for me to also serve as a messenger of natural disasters..."

"Heh, I've received that Black Serpent's education, how could I not understand the difference between the two? They're completely different professions." Talulah glanced at Bai Ye, her expression one of disbelief.

"Sigh, you've actually gotten smarter..." Bai Ye sighed, shaking his head helplessly. "Looks like I'm not so easy to fool anymore..."

"Hey, what kind of image do you have of me...?" Sister Tazi was unhappy.

Bai Ye looked up at the sky. Although there seemed to be no warning at the moment, he knew that all the signs indicated that a natural disaster was indeed going to happen.

Bai Ye wasn't acting recklessly; he genuinely possessed the license and certificate of a Cataclysmic Messenger, and had even joined the Crisis Contract. Furthermore, he possessed the necessary skills for a Cataclysmic Messenger, and at a very high level.

Crisis Contract is an intelligence agency independent of any political entity. It was originally established by the Messenger of Disasters with the aim of mitigating the impact of natural disasters.

Their creed is "for more lives." Although at times, the messengers of the Crisis Contract can act in extreme ways and their minds can become distorted by this creed, the organization as a whole is truly working for the sake of this land.

Now, crisis contracts have also become a platform that receives special tasks issued by various organizations or individuals and then forwards them to people who are capable of completing those tasks.

Regardless of origin, race, or morality, as long as you have enough strength, you can survive, achieve your goals, and receive your rewards. Or, you can tackle dangerous goals, receive huge rewards, and survive.
