Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

This time, however, he didn't stay in Longmen for long.

As they walked, Swire suddenly spoke up: "The strategy of the undead fighting against the undead was very effective at first, but this year, the number of undead has suddenly increased by at least 3%, and their strength has suddenly increased. The situation has begun to get out of control."

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Answer of the White Night

"Let's resolve the disputes in the slums first."

Bai Ye then asked, "Where are your friends?"

“Come with me. At this hour, she should still be wandering around the sewers,” Swire said, a smile spreading across her face.

However, before the young lady could finish speaking, a figure walked straight towards Bai Ye and Swire from the street corner.

"Watch out!" Swire whispered, looking warily at the approaching figure.

Bai Ye shook his head: "Relax, he has no hostility."

The man walked up to Bai Ye, bowed, and said, "Gentlemen, Mr. Lin invites you."

"it is good."

Bai Ye seemed to have anticipated someone's return, but Miss Swire was somewhat surprised.

"We've been recognized?"

“When you enter the slums, it means you've entered the Rat King's sights.” A girl's voice rang out behind the two of them, answering Swire's question.

"Lin Yuxia!"

Shi Huaiya turned her head, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm? The eldest daughter of the Swire family, what brings you to the slums for a stroll?" Lin Yuxia didn't smile, and her words were somewhat sharp.

She is a pink-haired mouse girl with a tall figure and long legs.

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and "whispered" in Swire's ear, "Is this the pink-haired sewer creature you were talking about?"

"Oh, so that's what you call me?" Lin Yuxia narrowed her eyes, her gaze towards Swire becoming dangerous.

"Bai Ye, you actually tricked me!" Swire gritted her teeth.

Ignoring her, Lin Yuxia extended her hand to Bai Ye: "Mr. Bai Ye, it's an honor to meet you."

"No need to be so polite." Bai Ye squeezed the girl's hand.

With just one contact, Bai Ye knew that despite her delicate appearance, she was actually a master of close combat.

Then, Lin Yuxia turned to Swire and mocked, "You think you can hide your identity just because you're wearing a hat and sunglasses? Don't be ridiculous, Swire."

“I never intended to hide it from you; I was just trying to avoid some unnecessary trouble,” Swire snorted.

However, Bai Ye frowned: "It's gotten that serious?"

The Rat King's network of informants is even denser than before, and he is doing everything he can to control the increasingly chaotic slums.

Lin Yuxia nodded.

Bai Ye didn't continue speaking, but followed Lin Yuxia and the others to the Rat King.

This king of the gray area no longer had the leisure to stay in his candy store. He stood under the streetlight, leaning on his cane, his brows furrowed.

Upon seeing Bai Ye and Swire, he gently tapped the ground with his cane, his expression softening somewhat.

"Mr. Lin."

"Grandpa Lin."

"The child of the sick tiger has grown so big. I haven't seen you in so long."

Although the Rat King was old, he was still very healthy, and his voice was loud and full of energy.

Then he turned his gaze to Bai Ye: "You're Bai Ye? I've heard Old Wei mention you; he's very pleased with you. You know, he rarely praises people."

"I was planning to invite you, but I didn't expect you to come on your own."

“After all, no one understands the undead better than me. I’m an expert in this area.” Bai Ye smiled, his words brimming with confidence.

"The younger generation is truly formidable..." Lin Gerui couldn't help but exclaim.

……

The group sat down at a teahouse by the roadside.

Bai Ye picked up his teacup and then asked directly, "Mr. Lin, have you explicitly stated the prohibition to the Undead?"

“This is an unwritten rule in the gray area, and anyone who enters the slums will know it.” Lin Gerui shook his head.

Bai Ye smiled: "The undead are special. They don't care about so-called unwritten rules. Only telling them in person is effective."

"Then what should I do? Write slogans on the walls everywhere?" The Rat King frowned.

The rules and order of the Lungmen underworld have been established through long-term military intimidation and tacit understanding among its members. Any outsider will quickly sense this atmosphere and learn the rules from the locals.

However, players don't care about any of that.

Most players don't pay special attention to the plot or the so-called unwritten rules of NPCs.

Unless it is clearly stated that this cannot be done, and what the consequences of doing so would be.

Expecting these guys to voluntarily comply is, to put it mildly, a difficult task.

That's almost delusional.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "It doesn't need to be that complicated."

"Simply distribute certificates to all the undead who enter the slums, and only those who follow the rules are eligible to receive the certificates."

"The receipts should be displayed in a prominent position."

"All gangs and societies can only accept this immortal and issue him a commission if they see the credentials."

"Local residents should try to avoid talking to undead without proper documentation."

"The store is prohibited from selling goods to undead without proper credentials."

“If a violation of the ban is discovered, the credentials will be revoked.”

Bai Ye offered his advice.

Simply put, if a player does not follow the game rules, their reputation here will drop to a negative number. They will be unable to accept quests, join a local gang, learn skills, or buy items.

Even talking to NPCs is impossible.

All of this indicates that the region does not welcome him.

This is a form of expulsion.

However, the approach is relatively lenient, since players can still move around freely here, but... they can no longer continue doing quests.

"Is that all?" The Rat King was skeptical that those chaotic creatures would be so obedient.

Bai Ye smiled. In fact, most players weren't completely chaotic; they were capable of communication and weren't truly doing whatever they wanted.

In fact, the problem in Lungmen is much simpler than in Snowfield; here, the issue lies solely with the players. Simply clearly explaining the ban and addressing it through reputation, quests, and rewards can largely resolve the problem.

It can be said that most players are able to comply.

Lin Yuxia looked at Bai Ye with some admiration. Although Bai Ye's method required mobilizing the entire slum, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do so with the Rat King's influence.

Compared to the chaotic situation, having a solution is already a good thing.

……

Bai Ye stood up from the chair.

"What's wrong?" Lin Gerui asked curiously.

Bai Ye raised a finger: "We need someone to clearly tell them the rules of the Lungmen underworld."

"Coincidentally, I am somewhat well-known among the undead, so it's better for me to be the messenger."

The advantage of Bai Ye's early efforts to cultivate popularity among players is now evident. Bai Ye is arguably the most influential and charismatic NPC, and any news about him can become a hot topic on the game forums.

Chapter 79 Classic Combos

After getting up, Bai Ye ran a few steps on the road and then flew away.

Lin Yuxia watched Bai Ye fly into the night sky, then turned to look at Miss Swire: "Your friend is quite special."

Swire opened her mouth, unsure how to answer the question, as she herself was unaware that Bai Ye had somehow become able to fly.

No wonder Bai Ye descended from the sky during the battle just now.

"The younger generation is truly formidable. Old Wei has never misjudged anyone." The Rat King tapped the ground lightly with his cane, then turned and left.

He planned to develop a detailed plan based on Bai Ye's suggestion and then have his subordinates carry it out.

After Bai Ye and the Rat King left, only two young girls, Lin Yuxia and Shi Huaiya, remained.

“It’s been quite a while since we last met, hasn’t it?” Lin Yuxia picked up a cup of tea.

Shi Huaiya nodded.

If it weren't for this impulsive decision, she wouldn't have entered the slums.

After all, the difference in their social status is too great.

If the family members really found out, they definitely wouldn't be happy.

However, Swire doesn't care about any of that now. Her own businesses already far exceed the family businesses she can manage. Even if the family takes those things back, she will still be the young lady of the house.

"We agreed to go to the same high school together, and then you went to Victoria. After you came back, you became a police officer in the Guard Bureau. You're something else, Miss," Lin Yuxia teased.

The saying goes, "One thing subdues another."

Although Swire could argue back and forth with Old Chen, in front of Lin Yuxia, this young lady was always completely controlled by the "Rat Mother" and could never gain the upper hand.

……

Meanwhile, Bai Ye was unaware that his friend had suffered a setback.

He hovered in mid-air above the slums, feeling the early spring evening breeze and the various sounds and messages carried by the wind.

He opened his senses, and countless noises and information reached his ears on the wind.

Having activated the [Accelerated Thinking] talent, Bai Ye's brain circuits began to help him process all sorts of complex information.

The nights in the Longmen slums are indeed quite lively now, with gangs fighting each other, players fighting each other, and players fighting NPCs.

It evokes a sense of chaos reminiscent of Little Gotham City, with its vibrant energy and burgeoning life still vivid in our minds, making us feel as if we were in Syracuse.

Of course, this place was just as bad before the players arrived. A bleak slum, a complex web of various factions, like a turbulent undercurrent. The players' arrival simply exacerbated this chaos.

"found it--"

Bai Ye found the target he was looking for, and his figure disappeared into mid-air.

……

"Old blind man from the Brine Gang! You're finished! We've brought reinforcements this time, twice as many as you. If you know what's good for you, give back all the territory you swallowed last time!"

"Pah! You bastards from the Char Siu Gang, your mother would have been better off giving birth to old Char Siu than to you. Don't think you're the only ones who know how to find help, we have people on our side too! We've brought in an undead, what good are your numbers? The advantage is with us!"

Before the gang fight, the two sides shouted to each other, and in the fifth team of the Char Siu Gang, there were several guys whose appearances were out of place with the others.

Immortal.

No one knows how they came to be on this land, but these people are indeed quite special. At first, they were weak, but even if they died, they would be resurrected.

Moreover, they didn't keep getting stronger, and soon became the targets of recruitment by various gangs in the Dragon Gate.

They're willing to do anything for money.

"Let's go."

The players ignored the "NPCs'" lines and charged straight at the opposing team.

Seeing this, the thugs and henchmen of the brine gang also grabbed their weapons and followed.

After a fierce fight, although the Char Siu Gang had an overwhelming numerical advantage, the Lu Shui Gang hired players, and with their help, they won by a narrow margin.

"Time to finish off the monsters, 'Skinny Monkey'. How much experience are you short of level 13? Finish off these monsters, and you should be able to level up, right?"

"Thank you, Captain. You'll be welcome then."
