Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

However, Skadi did not laugh.

She gently shook her head: "If I could, I wouldn't want you to get involved in our battle, it's too dangerous... But you, you idiot, just jumped right in..."

Bai Ye was displeased: "Since when have you started calling me an idiot?"

"Only a land dweller like you would rush towards a terror fish with such excitement when you see one," Skadi muttered under her breath.

"That's because you don't know how much experience a sea monster can provide..."

Although players provide experience points, more experience points are always better, and no one would complain about having too many experience points stored up.

……

In the end, Skadi decided to stay on Rhodes Island to be with her companions.

Bai Ye discovered a pattern: the child would always take turns going out together for a period of time, and then return to Rhodes Island to spend time with Ghost Shark, repeating this cycle between Bai Ye and Rhodes Island.

'That's good too. If we act alone without Titi, perhaps we can study the seal...'

Bai Ye glanced into the training room, where Specter was wielding a chainsaw, while Skadi softly sang a familiar tune amidst the ear-piercing noise.

That was Agor, and fortunately, White Night had heard Skadi sing it many times late at night, so he knew what Skadi was singing:

A hunter walked onto the shore?

His hometown is behind him, his path lies ahead.

His parents and children have all been separated from him?

His lover has perished at sea?

A hunter walked onto the shore?

His hometown lies behind, leaving only lamentation?

His road has no end?

His road was shrouded in thick fog?

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

Back in the dormitory, Bai Ye began packing her luggage and preparing for departure.

This trip, like the one to Colombia, was also a business trip on official business.

In other words, the expenses were reimbursed by Rhodes Island, and the reimbursement was legitimate.

For Bai Ye, whose family has a tradition of being stingy, even saving a little money is a good thing. He's a notorious hoarder, always trying to stockpile everything.

When choosing a weapon, Bai Ye hesitated for a long time between Skadi's greatsword and his own "Arc Light", but in the end he did not borrow Skadi's greatsword.

Firstly, he was worried that Skadi might encounter an accident and not have a suitable weapon to protect herself. Secondly, he was not actually good at using this kind of two-handed greatsword.

For Bai Ye, the weapons he used most often were one-handed swords and floating swords, and he also used a katana on the Eastern Kingdom battlefield. However, he was not familiar with weapons that were too large.

In gaming terms, he used to follow a balanced approach of agility and strength, rather than a purely agility- or strength-based build.

By the way, regardless of which style you choose, you must invest in Constitution, and the difference between the two should not exceed 15 points in the early stages and 30 points in the later stages.

If we were to pinpoint the biggest difference between Bai Ye's current stat allocation and his past one, it would be that he's started allocating points to Intelligence... no, I mean Spirit.

……

In the end, Bai Ye still took his Arc Light, which was no longer quite handy.

"Hopefully the weapon is alright..."

Bai Ye carefully maintained the arc light and then sheathed it back into the sword.

He felt there shouldn't be any major problems. After all, this was a business trip, not a fight, so he probably wouldn't encounter any outrageous enemies.

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

The next day, Bai Ye left Rhodes Island.

He originally thought he would be traveling with SilverAsh this time, but to his surprise, this trip would still rely on a flying vehicle.

Unlike usual, this time, Bai Ye finally didn't have to pilot the aircraft himself—

"My God, Manager Bai Ye, you're here to borrow the aircraft again?" Dylan, who had just settled into his seat, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Bai Ye walk up to the "Bad Guy".

This kid is used to being persecuted, and he really thinks that Bai Ye is going to forcibly "requisition" Rhodes Island's planes again.

Bai Ye looked at Mr. Dylan, who had been unemployed for too long, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Do a good job. It's your turn to drive this time. I'm a passenger."

"Ah, I see. That's good, that's good... I thought I was going to lose my job again..."

Dylan breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Ye walked to the cockpit of the aircraft, where, in addition to SilverAsh himself, there was one of his guards.

"Hey big guy, aren't you coming along?"

Bai Ye looked around and found that Feng Ti Ren, who had been standing outside the reception room door, was nowhere to be seen.

“Mathjon stayed behind to take care of the young lady. Don’t let his size fool you, he’s an excellent cook. Even the master is a little reluctant to let him go,” Weiss explained with a smile.

During their conversation, Bai Ye learned that the previous Foolish Man was named Matthon Yek, and the knife-wielding guard in front of him was named Weiss.

Chapter 82 You're telling me this is just an ordinary scholar?

The aircraft slowly took off.

Although Rhodes Island's ground-based aircraft were indeed much weaker than the flying warships that would later take off, aircraft were still quite rare on the continent of Terra.

Compared to the various types of drones that are ubiquitous, the number of man-eating flying vehicles is quite small.

What was even more exciting for Bai Ye was that this was the first time he had ever sat in the cockpit of the "Bad Guy" spacecraft.

Yes, he used to be the one piloting the aircraft, always sitting in the cockpit whenever he went out.

This is my first time being a passenger.

The aircraft took off smoothly, while SilverAsh and Weiss looked surprised, as it was their first time flying.

"If the Snow Realm could possess such technology..." SilverAsh realized that no matter how much he innovated, he couldn't immediately catch up with the pace of the outside world.

Currently, the crisis in Sherag is not just isolation, but also conflict between the undead and the natives.

'He's the only one who has any hope of resolving this crisis...'

SilverAsh pondered for a moment, then turned to look at WhiteNight sitting to the side.

In his view, Bai Ye wasn't actually a very serious person; in fact, he was somewhat eccentric in everyday life. However, when it came to his professional field, this expert would display an unquestionable air of authority.

……

"I suddenly remembered something: are you afraid of heights?"

Just then, Bai Ye suddenly turned to look at Silver Gray and Weiss and asked.

The two were a little overwhelmed.

The aircraft then began to ascend.

Bai Ye explained with a smile, "I almost forgot to mention, we currently need to climb to over 400 meters, and we'll continue to increase the altitude afterward, staying up there for a long time. Are you feeling any discomfort?"

SilverAsh and Weiss were indeed a little uncomfortable at first, after all, it was the first time that their feet were so high off the ground, and the feeling of not being able to stand firmly on the ground was indeed a bit worrying.

Fortunately, they were not ordinary people and adapted quickly.

"She's better than Instructor Doberman... She just can't adapt to the aircraft. Last time, to help her overcome the difficulties, Huang took her on a 400-meter-long, unprotected descent."

Bai Ye casually recounted some interesting stories about Rhodes Island.

Weiss gasped, "What happened next?"

He was clearly curious.

Bai Ye shrugged: "They fell directly from a height of 400 meters without slowing down at all, until they were about 10 meters from the ground when Huang started to use Originium Arts to cushion the fall... As a result, Instructor Dobermann's fear of heights became even more severe, and he was particularly prone to motion sickness."

"It would be bad if she heard that. Supervisor Bai Ye, you may not be afraid of the instructors, but I am!"

Pilot Dylan in the cockpit communicates with White Night via radio.

Silver chuckled as he walked to the window and looked down.

For him, this was a rather interesting experience.

After SilverAsh had enjoyed the scenery, White Night walked to the cockpit door and asked the pilot, Dylan, "Is the fuel and energy sufficient?"

“Of course, the fuel was already filled to near maximum takeoff weight before takeoff,” Dylan nodded.

Bai Ye took out his staff—the scabbard of the one-handed sword "Arc Light"—and then connected it to the external device of the aircraft.

"Since there's enough energy, I'll activate the optical cloaking and detector shielding devices," Bai Ye said, connecting the devices via his staff.

"No matter how many times I look at it, I still find it amazing..." Dylan looked at the new features added to his aircraft with some envy.

It's a pity that only Bai Ye can use this thing. If Bai Ye leaves, no one will be able to cast spells on the flying machine.

Bai Ye himself examined the invisibility spell he had activated and discovered that even without these external source stone devices, he could easily activate the large "Wind King Barrier" that enveloped the aircraft.

As his mental attributes continue to improve, Bai Ye is gradually transforming into a non-human state.

The rest of the journey was uneventful; Bai Ye mostly rested with his eyes closed, while Yin Hui opened his personal terminal and began processing the work documents he had fallen behind on over the past two days.

Although real-time communication is not possible, he can first look at the data files in the terminal.

……

“We’ve arrived.” Mr. Dylan breathed a long sigh of relief.

The aircraft landed slowly on a flat open ground, and the pilot opened the hatch.

Bai Ye put away his staff and then walked out.

Weiss and pilot Dylan looked at Bai Ye with somewhat unusual expressions.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ye felt a little strange under their gazes. He looked down at himself but there was nothing wrong with him.

“Mr. White Night, are you feeling cold?” Weiss asked in a low voice.

Bai Ye suddenly realized, and shook his head: "I feel fine, it's quite comfortable and cool here."

"..."

Dylan looked at Bai Ye's thin shirt, then at his own thick down jacket, and couldn't help but shiver.

"It's a bit cold!"

Yes, unlike the outside world, Sherag is covered in snow and ice year-round, hence its name, Snowland. In other words, Bai Ye's current attire is completely out of place with the overall environment of the region.

His attire was typical for spring and autumn, which might look normal outside, but in the snow, it would look completely strange.

'I miscalculated...'

Bai Ye himself didn't feel cold at all. His physical attributes were very high, and he also used Originium Arts to protect himself from the effects of heat and cold, so he didn't feel the extreme weather changes at all.

However, this was not Bai Ye's intention; he simply forgot. When someone kindly brought it up, he couldn't say it out loud to maintain his image.

And so, Bai Ye, along with SilverAsh and the others, officially stepped into Sherag.

It must be said that he stood out in the crowd.

……

"Are all the scholars in your company this outrageous? Wearing clothes like that in the snow is practically the same as not wearing anything at all," Weiss whispered to Dylan as he walked up to him.

He had always thought of Bai Ye as a scholar, and from his appearance, he was a rather thin guy, without developed muscles or a strong physique. Therefore, both he and SilverAsh were prepared to arrange for someone to be in charge of Bai Ye's safety.

Then, now you're telling him, would a normal scholar stand in the snow dressed like that and not feel anything? Even a Sherag person who has lived like that since childhood would absolutely not be able to do that.

Dylan tightened his coat; he felt somewhat embarrassed.

Although he was also from Rhodes Island, he was just an ordinary person. Even though he was wearing thick clothes, he still felt a little uncomfortable. It was so cold.

However, he was quite open-minded. Rhodes Island wasn't just home to Bai Ye, so he had long since taken it in stride.

With a knowing pat on the shoulder, he chuckled and said to his younger brother, "We can't compare ourselves to monsters..."
