Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"If you're hungry, there's food in the cargo hold. There are no drinks, only bottled water," Bai Ye said over the loudspeaker to the people in the cabin.

Skadi stood up first, ran to the cargo hold, and then carried some things back to the cockpit.

Then, the girl slammed the door shut.

Bai Ye turned his head and found a Pocky stick being offered to his lips.

"Bai Ye, open your mouth, ah—"

Skadi held a Pocky cookie in her hand, looking at Bai Ye with anticipation.

Bai Ye paused for a moment, then subconsciously opened her mouth and bit into the cookie.

While munching on a Pocky cookie, Bai Ye asked with some confusion, "Where did you learn that from?"

“Your apprentice taught me,” Skadi replied, then handed her a Pocky cookie.

Then comes the third one.

The fourth root.

……

"That's enough! First of all, she definitely didn't teach you to keep stuffing food into my mouth like this. I can't eat anymore!"

Bai Ye used the Abyss Maw to barely swallow everything in his mouth, and then painfully stopped Skadi's confusing behavior.

Skadi completely ruined what was supposed to be a wonderful feeding game.

All I can say is, she truly lives up to her reputation.

Seemingly having had enough fun, Skadi took out a Pocky and put it in her mouth.

However, Bai Ye's doubts remained unanswered; he simply couldn't recall when he had acquired a disciple.

When Bai Ye asked the question, Skadi gave Bai Ye a strange look: "That Felin, um, her name is... right, Melantha."

"..." Bai Ye then remembered that he had indeed taken Melanie as his apprentice in Chernobog last year.

The cat Feline had once learned swordsmanship from him, but before he had taught her for two months, Bai Ye sent her and the reserve squad back to Rhodes Island.

"Wait, you haven't really forgotten, have you?" Skadi kept eating Pocky.

Bai Ye shook his head decisively: "Haha, how could that be?"

"Bai Ye, has anyone ever told you that when you lie, you habitually touch your nose?"

Bai Ye came to her senses and realized that her hand was indeed on her nose.

I never expected this silly girl to notice such details. Could it be that Skadi isn't silly at all?

Well, he did indeed forget about his apprentice; after all, he was too busy, and he's never one to sit still. If Melantha knew about this, she might really burst into tears…

Skadi ignored the bewildered White Night and continued, "Napirin originally wanted to learn swordsmanship from me, but unfortunately my fighting style is not suitable for her."

"Later she told me that I would be very happy if she put food right in front of my mouth. In exchange, I became her sparring partner a few times."

Bai Ye then realized that Melantha and Skadi had actually had so many interactions.

How did you two meet?

“When I went to the training ground to practice, I saw your influence in her swordsmanship. It seemed like she was imitating your starting movements.”

"I see." Bai Ye nodded.

Although his swordsmanship doesn't have a fixed routine, many of his combat methods from his previous life as a player have become ingrained habits, and he hasn't changed many of his starting moves. It's quite normal for Melantha to imitate him.

In fact, Bai Ye's fighting style is less about swordsmanship and more about a fighting mindset. It's not just about wielding a sword; it can be applied to other methods of combat as well.

Therefore, even though Bai Ye rarely uses a sword now, he still keeps recording the fighting methods of the enemies he has encountered and incorporates them into his own swordsmanship.

Speaking of swordsmanship, Bai Ye suddenly remembered something: "Skadi, can I learn your swordsmanship?"

In fact, Bai Ye was already making preparations. After his encounter with the "newborn" Isamara, he knew that he would inevitably encounter the Deep Sea Church, Hai Si, and other newborns in the future.

Sooner or later, he will face these enemies.

On land, Bai Ye believed he could handle most battles, but at sea, he had absolutely no experience.

With the talent of [Possession of the Sea God], Bai Ye can now engage in naval battles like a deep-sea hunter.

“You want to learn this… Hmm, no problem. I’ll teach you.” Skadi nodded.

Then she hesitated for a moment: "Unfortunately, the bathtub at Rhodes Island is too shallow and too small to be used for training."

"What about the large public bath? I remember Rhodes Island did have a pool there..."

Although there is no swimming pool, Rhodes Island does have a large public bathhouse, seemingly to allow Rhodes Island's Agor operators to take baths and replenish their fluids.

Skadi shook her head: "That place seems to have been abandoned for a while due to engineering and plumbing problems." Skadi sighed as she spoke, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be taking a bath in the tub."

Skadi kept complaining to Baiye that the land people's equipment was too barbaric, and they didn't even have a smart automatic toilet.

Not to mention the shallow and small bathtub.

"The engineering department is already operating beyond capacity. Now we need to send people to the core city of Chernobog to establish a branch. The bathhouse is temporarily out of service and there is really no way to repair it."

Bai Ye then came up with a good idea: "How about this, when summer comes, we'll go to the beach. We can train there and have some fun too."

“The beach isn’t a place for training and playing; it’s a battlefield,” Skadi countered White Night’s suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye smiled and said, "Although we can't go to the real seaside, there are places on this land that are similar to the sea."

"Really?" Skadi was a little skeptical.

"Once it gets a little warmer, I'll ask Dr. Kal'tsit for leave, and then we can go there and have some fun."

Bai Ye glanced at the date.

Spring has arrived, can summer be far behind?

For Baiye, now is the time for fantasy!

Chapter Sixty-Six: Muirsay

Although she was already looking forward to her summer holiday, Bai Ye knew that she still had a lot of work to do.

Even though he is no longer a player, many of the habits of players from his previous life are deeply ingrained in Bai Ye and cannot be reversed or changed.

For example, he is always tirelessly looking for the next goal and task.

The liver has become an instinct.

After transmigrating, the line between reality and the game began to blur, and Bai Ye himself couldn't figure out whether he was playing a game or doing something else.

Nobody told us what to do.

Because if he stops, he will become lost, so he can only keep moving forward, striving to become stronger in this familiar yet unfamiliar world.

Continuing with the same approach I used as a player: getting stronger for the sake of getting stronger.

Just as he had answered Melantha's question, he had never thought about why he fought; there was no need to consider that question at all.

……

After a period of flight, Bai Ye successfully arrived at Ironforge City in his aircraft, the "Bad Guy".

According to the plan, he will meet with Himer here.

Shortly after entering the city, Bai Ye made contact with Himer through a special channel on his terminal.

"Here we are."

As Bai Ye spoke, he landed the aircraft on a platform.

Himer stood right next to her; she could only vaguely see the aircraft when she got close.

"That's truly impressive Originium Arts."

Although the principle is not difficult to understand—the Wind King Barrier is essentially a simple application of physics—achieving it is not easy.

Making this spell larger, turning it into a device that can hide this behemoth, is even more difficult.

"I can't do it all by myself. This was designed by the engineering department staff."

Bai Ye jumped off the aircraft and looked at Himer and Mel in front of him: "We should go."

Himer nodded and was about to board the aircraft when she suddenly stopped as a communication notification came from the terminal in her pocket.

“Hmm? I don’t remember anyone else in this city having my contact information…” Himer frowned.

After the call was connected and she heard what the other person was saying, her expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ye asked, puzzled.

Himer put away the terminal: "Someone wants to invite me to meet up and have a chat."

"Who?"

“I don’t know, but she seems to know about our prison break and even has evidence. I’m worried she might blackmail us into doing something.”

“Anthony’s escape cannot be exposed to the Columbia authorities, otherwise Rhode Island will also be in trouble.”

Bai Ye suddenly realized: "That's simple, I'll go. Let's see who has our weakness and what they want to do... Hmm, if we can't deal with the weakness, then we'll deal with the person who has it."

"Okay, I'll give you the address."

Himer felt that Bai Ye was really reliable, no wonder he was someone who often went out on field missions, although what he said didn't seem quite right for Ifrit to hear...

It can easily lead children astray.

"Skadi, stay here and protect them. I'll be back soon."

Bai Ye decided to go and meet the person who wanted to meet with Himer.

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

"Looks like this is it... a bar?"

Bai Ye looked at the address displayed on the navigation software on the terminal map, feeling somewhat uncertain.

"Compared to the Emperor's taste, this place is much more comfortable."

Bai Ye had been to the ends of the earth, and the decor there was simply an eyesore, with gold everywhere.

However, although the bar looked normal, there was no one inside.

Bai Ye pushed open the door and slowly walked in.

"Huh? Why is it you? Where is Miss Hermer?" A surprised voice sounded behind Bai Ye. He turned around and saw a long-haired, pointy-eared girl standing behind him.

"Elves?"

Bai Ye was somewhat unsure.

He seemed to have heard rumors about this race in his previous life; they were extremely rare.

"Who are you? Tell me your name now, or I'll get rough!" The person on the other end was even more surprised than Bai Ye.

It was indeed strange that a stranger showed up when the person he had arranged to meet was Himer.

"A bluff... It's clearly a fake." Bai Ye saw through it at a glance; the real guy hadn't come at all, but had created a clone.

"Hey! We've been found out." The girl covered her mouth with her hand and made an exaggerated expression.

“I think I know who you are. You’re the unreliable Muelseth that Saria mentioned, the little dragon’s friend.” Bai Ye quickly recognized the newcomer.

"Huh?! That's not fair. You know who I am, but I don't..." Muirsey scratched his head in frustration.

"Stop pretending. Since we're acquaintances, I won't make things difficult for you for the sake of Ifrit and Saria. You won't tell anyone about the prison break, will you? I hope you don't have ulterior motives." Bai Ye sighed.

He originally thought he would need to deal with another person, but he didn't expect to run into Ifrit's friend, which made things a bit more difficult.

Hopefully, this guy is playing the role of a good person in this whole affair.

"No, no, no, I really didn't have any other thoughts. After all, I'm just a weak and helpless little pitiful person who only wants to survive..." Muirsey raised her hands.

Bai Ye nodded, then took out his terminal: "I am Bai Ye, an ordinary messenger. There should be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and I will come to find you then."

"Let's leave it at that."

After saying that, Bai Ye sent a message back to Himer through the encrypted channel that Muirsey had previously used to contact Himer, with his contact information on it.

After he finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

However, Muirsay suddenly called out to him, "Wait."
