Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Bai Ye, you seem very happy?"

Skadi looked at Bai Ye's delighted expression and asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, I've found a strong ally. With Duke Duck and the Emperor joining me, I can say that I've officially stepped into Colombia."

Baiye told Skadi about his collaboration with Saria.

In fact, Bai Ye didn't need to personally investigate Rhine Lab; he could have easily delegated the task to the players.

While pondering this question, Bai Ye opened the player forum on the game system panel.

The players' previous attack on the prison has become a hot topic, and judging from the post history, they were successful.

All the players who were secretly held in Mansfield Prison have left.

What they left behind was a mobile prison that had been ravaged to the point of near collapse.

Colombia even deployed federal troops to directly suppress the prison riot.

It is said that due to the emergency alert, all prison guards were recalled immediately. One guard even ran naked from the red-light district to the prison gate, and was then fired on the spot by the furious warden, Randolph.

"How can there be such a despicable person? Stripping someone of their clothes?!" Bai Ye was completely unaware that he was the culprit behind this unfortunate prison guard's misfortune. He was still looking at the posts from players on the forum and laughing at them.

In the post, Bai Ye also saw a long description of himself. Being caught up in gossip about others was nothing new to Bai Ye.

Players who experienced it described Bai Ye as a "partner of justice." He would directly help players who encountered difficulties, and even helped players cut off the power to the prison, creating a huge commotion that attracted all the prison guards away.

The most powerful prison guard, Jeston, wasn't stopping the player at all.

These messages instantly made Bai Ye a hot topic among players again, and some casual players became fans because of Bai Ye's actions.

In games, it's rare to see NPCs who are so approachable to players. Most NPCs treat players as monsters and outcasts, so someone like Bai Ye is clearly more popular with players.

Some players even believe that Bai Ye is actually an NPC deliberately sent by the game company to provide assistance to players in the game, with the main idea being to be approachable and essentially one of their own.

"I used to be an excellent employee of the Pharaoh..." To this, Bai Ye, who was just watching the drama unfold, said that the players' imaginations were really too wild.

He was never the Pharaoh's weapon.

Bai Ye has always been a hater of Pharaoh, and he watches that classic "damedane" video every day.

"However, this is a good opportunity."

White Night needs some players in Columbia to do things for him.

Perhaps it could be made into a task chain?

This mission, in which the player helps him get into prison, is the starting point of the entire series of quests.

Players should really enjoy this series of interconnected tasks, as the rewards for each stage are quite generous.

After careful consideration, Bai Ye felt that this idea was more and more feasible.

So, before leaving Columbia, he reopened the quest system on the NPC panel and issued the next quest to the players who had previously accepted quests from him.

……

As the notification sound rang out, players opened the game system panel, and a new quest had appeared!

[Mission: Bai Ye's Private Request]

After investigating the prison, Bai Ye concluded that Rhine Lab was connected to the dark and inhumane human experimentation practices, and he wanted some skilled individuals to help him investigate.

[Beach Umbrella Company Information 0/5]

[Loken Water Tank Laboratory 0/6]

[Haydon Pharmaceuticals 0/4]

[Rhine Lab 0/10]

[Note that this is a long-term task; rewards can be claimed upon achieving milestones.]

[Note: This is a large task; you can share it with your friends to complete it together.]

Chapter Sixty-Four: New Fragments of Events, Jeston 5/35

[Bai Yang peeks out: It's a series of missions! I should have gone to break into the prison too! I regret it so much now!]

[The Sword of Chaos: It seems our guess was correct; Bai Ye was indeed investigating human experimentation. No wonder he appeared near the prison.]

[0406: You're right, but "Bai Ye's Personal Request" is a series of quests issued by the NPC Bai Ye. The quest location is a fictional country called "Columbia," where research institutions are obsessed with conducting barbaric and dark human experiments. Players will play the role of a mysterious character called "Investigator," encountering companions with diverse personalities and unique abilities during their free travels. Together, they will defeat powerful enemies, retrieve lost evidence, and gradually uncover the truth behind "Rhine Labs."]

……

Sure enough, after Bai Ye issued the mission, the players, who thought everything was over, suddenly became excited again.

There's more to it than meets the eye!

As expected, Bai Ye was indeed investigating these dark experiments.

Clearly, players mistakenly believe that these dark human experiments refer to experiments conducted on themselves.

In fact, it wasn't just players; major Colombian tech companies had already been conducting human experiments on pioneers, infected, homeless people, and various orphans long before players even entered the game.

Besides Ifrit, Baiye knew that an elite operator within Rhodes Island was a victim of such human experimentation.

Therefore, he also included the destroyed Loken Water Tank Laboratory and Hayden I Laboratory in the scope of intelligence he needed to collect.

After posting the task, Bai Ye checked the game forum and then prepared to close the game system panel with peace of mind.

His NPC template has been upgraded to elite level, which means that his quest experience reward pool has been greatly increased. Otherwise, based on his previous limit, he would not have been able to issue such a large-scale series of quests.

However, before he could close the game system panel, he suddenly received a message from the system.

Just now, after he defeated Jeston, a new fragment of the event was generated.

"He doesn't even deserve to be a dungeon boss!!"

Bai Ye looked at the newly appeared Fragment Crystal in his backpack with disdain.

This Jeston is such a loser, he can't even withstand a few punches from him. How can someone so weak be a boss?

Fortunately, he quickly realized that this guy was actually a decent opponent for the player.

Jeston has a special subcutaneous metal plate implanted under his skin by Rhine Lab, which can greatly reduce damage. In addition, he can manipulate iron elements, which can not only create metal armor to protect himself, but also generate various floating projectile weapons.

His hands can also transform into sharp metal blades, combining offense and defense.

This guy can also summon minions and elite monsters, and gather prisoners to attack alongside him.

Thinking about it this way, it really is boss-level for players.

"But it's really delicious..."

Before he could fully unleash the power of his iron element manipulation, he was instantly blasted apart by Bai Ye.

The human body contains trace amounts of iron. If he can control it to this extent, he can indeed indirectly control the blood. For Bai Ye, this might cause some minor trouble and won't be as easy as before.

"His vision is too narrow. He doesn't develop his abilities properly and doesn't strive for progress. He deserves to be beaten like this..." Bai Ye concluded with a sharp critique of Jeston.

He doesn't plan to use this fragment of information immediately.

The first batch of dungeons has been enough for players to "enjoy" for a while. Releasing the next batch together will be more attractive to players.

……

After closing the system panel, Bai Ye led Anthony and the others to the location where he had hidden his aircraft.

"We should go."

He and Himer had agreed to meet in Cast Iron City, another city in Colombia.

Since he had already helped, Bai Ye decided to see it through and send them on their way in a flying vehicle.

“There are people following us, probably the Hyde Brothers,” Skadi said softly.

The Hyde Brothers were another company that had previously targeted the Anthony family's company; they were business competitors.

The Hyde brothers, who had secretly obtained Rhine Life's secrets, destroyed the Simon Company and imprisoned the entire Simon family.

While Himer was helping Anthony escape from prison, the Hyde brothers were also planning to send assassins to kill him.

Jeston is that kind of killer.

Bai Ye wasn't really interested in these things. Like Saria, he was curious about Rhine Life, the company behind the Hyde Brothers.

However, those guys were still determined to get back at them and kept chasing after them.

"This is troublesome... Wait a minute, I might act rashly."

Bai Ye didn't want to leave a trail behind him. Although these guys couldn't catch up with his aircraft at all, Bai Ye didn't like flies.

With a sigh, Bai Ye jumped out of the aircraft's cockpit.

Anthony watched as Bai Ye walked alone toward the pursuers and couldn't help but ask, "Should we go down and help him?"

Kafka nodded: "I know he's a good fighter, but is it really okay for him to take on so many people by himself?"

Even the introverted Robin and Duma showed expressions of worry.

Skadi, however, sat comfortably in the co-pilot's seat in the cockpit. She shook her head and said, "Bai Ye is enough on his own."

Her tone was quite confident.

Under the watchful eyes of Anthony and the others, Bai Ye seemed to simply walk over and then raise his hands in a half-hearted gesture in the air.

Then, the enemies all fell down with expressions of pain.

Soon, Bai Ye walked back with his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed.

"We've dealt with everything. If there are still pursuers afterward, we'll continue."

As he spoke, he started the engine of the "Bad Guy".

"Um, how did you do that? What happened to those people? What happened to them?"

Kafka was curious. She hadn't seen Bai Ye make a move, yet those guys had fallen down on their own. What kind of magical spell was that?

“You wouldn’t want to know,” Bai Ye replied calmly.

"I'm so curious! If you don't tell me, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight!" Kafka, the lively little girl, began to whine.

Bai Ye finally spoke slowly: "Their lungs had air in them, so I made their lungs explode."

“I’ve already restrained myself and haven’t made a big scene. Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be my lungs; my entire chest cavity could have exploded.”

"Uh--"

After hearing Bai Ye's answer, the cabin fell silent.

Everyone was silent.

"Um, what should I say? This is really awkward..." Bai Ye was a little confused.

"..."

At this moment, everyone understood what Bai Ye meant when he said he would be a little irritable.

He was being quite lenient with Jeston by giving him a good beating.

"Ugh, after hearing that, I'm even less able to sleep tonight!"

Kafka recalled the faint crackling explosions he had heard earlier and stuck his tongue out at Bai Ye's retreating figure piloting the aircraft.

Now, in the little girl's eyes, Bai Ye has been listed as the person she least wants to mess with.

She didn't want her lungs to explode.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Now it's time for fantasy!

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

After dealing with the pursuers who suddenly appeared, Bai Ye activated the aircraft.

A powerful optical cloaking device concealed the aircraft, while Originium Arts jamming devices shielded it from detection by sensors and spells.

Only then did Anthony and the others breathe a long sigh of relief.

"We're safe... for now." Big Tiger sat obediently in his chair. Furry enthusiasts would be thrilled to see him like this.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye had no feelings for the ancient people.
