Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Cough cough...no." The doctor quickly shook his head.

However, Amiya was clearly not going to let her off the hook. She stared at the Doctor and said, "Doctor, please look me in the eye when you speak!"

"..." The Doctor was clearly unable to withstand Miss Amiya's authority. She immediately backed down, her gaze drifting to the side as she muttered under her breath, "I didn't stay up too late."

"What time?" Amiya remained unmoved.

"4 o'clock, that's pretty early, isn't it?" The professor gave a thumbs up. "Then, I also boiled a kettle of water."

"...Yeah, it's only 4 o'clock, that's pretty early... my foot!" Amiya exclaimed angrily. "Doctor, I've told you so many times, you can't stay up late, you have to go to bed on time..."

Bai Ye glanced at Dr. Kal'tsit, but she seemed oblivious to the interaction between the two little ones behind her, and showed no reaction to the doctor who was staying up all night.

Bai Ye shook his head; he knew about the conflict between the Doctor and Dr. Kal'tsit.

Reaching out, Bai Ye patted Amiya's head as she continued lecturing, and comforted her with a smile, "Little bunny, stop talking now."

Upon hearing this, the doctor gave him a grateful look.

However, Bai Ye ignored the Doctor and continued, "After the meeting, when you return to Rhodes Island, you can deal with the Doctor then, right?"

"Ah Zhe!" The doctor immediately sensed the malice coming from others.

Who would have thought that Bai Ye, who has a friendly appearance and always seems like a kind-hearted, smiling person, would actually have such a cunning side?

Yes, a smiling, kind-hearted person—that was the Doctor's first impression of Bai Ye. This poor fellow had no idea that this very "kind-hearted person" she spoke of had once attempted to forcibly close the sarcophagus, cutting off the Doctor's life support pod and nearly killing them.

Fortunately, Bai Ye did not follow through with this plan.

The four got out of the car, and Bai Ye, led by a guard, entered the administrative building of the Guard Bureau.

He'd been here before; before his time travel, he'd even personally smashed the glass in Wei Yanwu's office. (Why does he have such a grudge against this glass?!)

Because it was a formal meeting, the discussion was held in the visitor reception room of Wei Yanwu's office.

The nature of this event was completely different from the private dinner party that Bai Ye had attended last time.

Dr. Kal'tsit walked straight ahead, her eyes fixed straight ahead, while Amiya and the Doctor, being here for the first time, looked around with some curiosity.

As for White Night?

He was very familiar with this place, so it felt almost like being back home, and he was quite relaxed and at ease.

After exiting the elevator, Bai Ye and the others entered the office, passed through the screen, and entered Wei Yanwu's reception room.

Wei Yanwu and Lady Wenyue were already waiting here. Tea was brewing on the table, and wisps of steam rose gently, creating a rather picturesque scene.

Bai Ye also noticed a figure hiding in the darkness. Bai Ye was very familiar with this person; it was Lady Wen Yue's bodyguard, a ninja from the Eastern Kingdom named Bai Xue.

"Old Wei, Aunt Wenyue!"

Bai Ye greeted the two of them.

"Little Bai, it's rare for you to come back. Why don't you come and sit at home?" Madam Wenyue warmly beckoned Bai Ye over.

"Hehe, I just got back, and I had some official business to attend to, so I acted as a driver for a bit," Bai Ye replied with a smile.

Wei Yanwu, standing to the side, was somewhat helpless. This kid was quite polite to Madam Wenyue, but when it came to himself, he would call her Commander Wei when there was something to discuss, and otherwise just call her Old Wei. He had no manners at all.

However, Wei Yanwu was quite satisfied with this young man, especially since he directly helped his brother's daughter and even helped the sisters reunite.

This was something he had always wanted to do but had never been able to. Therefore, Lao Wei didn't take Bai Ye's casualness and rudeness seriously at all.

……

The fact that Bai Ye was back in her own home surprised the Doctor and Amiya, and even Dr. Kal'tsit hadn't expected it.

Even if Kal'tsit is all-knowing, she doesn't understand Bai Ye's connections and relationships in Lungmen.

Seemingly noticing the awkwardness of the three from Rhodes Island, Lady Wen Yue took the initiative to pull Bai Ye up: "Little Bai, let's go outside and talk. Let them discuss serious matters."

Bai Ye was already used to Wen Yue calling him "Xiao Bai".

There was still a sense of novelty to it, both before and after his transmigration; no one had ever called him that before. Because of this form of address, Wen Yue gave Bai Ye a feeling of familiarity, almost like that of an elder.

Bai Ye followed Wen Yue out of the reception room.

Byakuya noticed that the ninja hiding in the shadows of a dark corner seemed to waver because he and Fumizuki were alone together, and seemed to want to come out, but in the end he stayed in the room.

It seems that Lady Wenyue must have given Baixue an order.

The two left the others in the reception room and went outside to drink tea and chat.

Lady Wenyue's initial conversation mostly revolved around Talulah and Chen Huijie, referring to them as "Little Talulah" and "Little Chen" repeatedly, her eyes full of concern.

However, the topic later shifted to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye always felt that Madam Wen Yue's gaze towards him was a little strange... Her eyes were very satisfied, as if she were looking at her junior, but not quite the same.

Bai Ye had never experienced such a strange feeling before, so he was somewhat restless.

Fortunately, just when Bai Ye was about to give up, the door to the reception room finally opened, and Dr. Kal'tsit and the others came out, with Wei Yanwu following behind.

Bai Ye glanced at the time and realized that only half a day had passed.

It's so scary.

In the past, Bai Ye would spend half a day grinding levels without feeling anything, but now he suddenly had the illusion that time was dragging on endlessly.

Although Lady Fumizuki repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay and even offered him a meal, Byakuya decided to return to Rhodes Island.

……

After Bai Ye left, Wen Yue and Wei Yanwu sat in the office chatting.

"You've decided to sign a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Rhodes Island?" Madam Wen Yue was still quite concerned about the matters they had discussed in the office earlier.

Wei Yanwu nodded: "Their doctor is not simple; I can't see through her."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, a cooperation agreement can still be signed."

"Because Xiaobai works at their company?" Madam Wenyue asked with a smile.

However, Wei Yanwu shook his head and replied righteously, "No, I will not let such personal emotions affect my judgment..."

"Really? I doubt it." Madam Wenyue laughed.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but retort, "And what about you? After looking around for so long, aren't you getting more and more satisfied?"

“If Xiaota and Xiaochen go with him, it should be a good outcome,” Wen Yue said without refutation.

However, Wei Yanwu was furious: "What? Two?!"

"Otherwise, how do we calculate it? I can tell they both have feelings for this kid. Might as well have them both." Wen Yue didn't care at all.

Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue were still talking about Talulah and Chen Huijie's marriage.

Although neither child was their biological child, they treated them as their own.

Now that they are getting on in years, according to the traditions of Yan Kingdom, it is indeed time for them to find a good husband.

For various reasons, Wei Yanwu did not want to choose from among the noble youths in Yan Kingdom. He and Wen Yue both set their sights on Bai Ye, who had been quite active in the past year or so.

This is why Wen Yue looked at Bai Ye so strangely; the more she looked at Bai Ye, the more satisfied she became.

“Both of them together, no, that won’t do… I didn’t even…” Wei Yanwu said subconsciously, but before he could finish, he realized he had said the wrong thing.

He looked up and, sure enough, saw Wen Yue, who had a half-smile on her face and whose anger was gradually rising.

"What did you mean by what you just said?" Wen Yue didn't immediately react, but instead asked slowly and deliberately. Clearly, she had a plan.

Wei Yanwu, whose position as the "brother in the family" was obvious, had no choice but to surrender.

However, as the conversation between the two gradually veered towards when to hold the wedding banquet, a voice suddenly rang out in the room.

"Madam, Master, have you asked Bai Ye about this matter?"

It was Bai Xue who spoke.

She could tell that the two elderly people were overjoyed that their niece had been reunited with her family, and were actually starting to plan their wedding, without giving any thought to Bai Ye's feelings.

After the words were spoken, both Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue were stunned.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

Upon careful reflection, they realized that they hadn't actually considered this matter at all.

What if Bai Ye disagrees later, and it all comes to nothing?

"Tsk, what's wrong with Talulah and Chen Huijie? Are they not good enough for him?" Wei Yanwu was furious again.

Hey, they didn't agree, but they didn't refuse either. Stop making a scene.

Bai Xue rolled her eyes. The usually calm and dignified Commander Wei was completely unlike himself at this moment, and even looked somewhat comical.

However, within the Great Yan royal family, there are very few people who value their blood relatives as much as he does...

Especially that current True Dragon... I heard that he personally forced his brother-in-law to his death, and he also forced Wei Yanwu and the princess away back then.

Bai Xue stopped thinking about it, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she hid these thoughts in her heart.

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

"Ah! Ahh!"

Bai Ye, who was driving the vehicle, kept sneezing.

Even Dr. Kal'tsit, who was standing nearby, felt something was off.

"What's wrong with you? Have you caught a cold?" She had never seen an elite operator like this get sick before.

Although Bai Ye is not an elite operator of Rhodes Island, his strength is definitely sufficient.

"There's a saying in Yan that if someone is thinking of me, I might sneeze," Bai Ye explained with a smile, wiping his nose.

“That’s not scientific at all,” the doctor retorted from the back seat.

Bai Ye ignored him and instead looked at Dr. Kal'tsit: "How did the discussions go today?"

"It went very smoothly, no, or rather, it went too smoothly. Whether it was commercial contracts, other orders, or even the talent recruitment program, there were no problems at all."

Dr. Kal'tsit was having some doubts about life. She had long known about Wei Yanwu's cunning and how difficult he was to deal with, so she had prepared a lot of things. Unfortunately, it seemed that she had punched cotton, and all her previous preparations had been in vain.

This made her even suspect that Wei Yanwu might have some other scheme in mind, or some other ulterior motive.

However, she obviously wouldn't have guessed that Wei Yanwu's generosity was because of Bai Ye.

Because Bai Ye was on Rhodes Island, he found Rhodes Island increasingly pleasing to the eye. Even a seasoned ruler and politician like Wei Yanwu couldn't manage to "not let personal emotions interfere with official business."

Or to put it another way, he is actually a man of strong emotions. Sometimes what he considers to be fair and selfless actions actually conceal his own personal feelings.

'In that case, the current situation isn't much different from before I transmigrated.'

Bai Ye did not believe in the so-called theory of time travelers that "guarantee that the world line will not change." He had already turned the main storyline of the game in versions 1.0 and 2.0 upside down.

However, since he is currently still a manager at Rhodes Island and has business dealings with the island, ensuring that the benefits obtained by both parties remain largely consistent with those before his transmigration is something he has always been doing.

He can also profit from the collaboration between Lungmen and Rhodes Island, since "Northern Cross Logistics" is registered in Lungmen.

Simply put, he has to try his best to achieve as many benefits as he gained in the past after transmigrating; otherwise, wouldn't he be a complete failure?

Driving through the streets of Lungmen, Bai Ye noticed a significant improvement in player safety. This was due to the effective management of Lungmen's slums, and the credential system Bai Ye had proposed had been implemented.

Along the way, Bai Ye saw many players carrying special tokens. Each person could only possess one of these anti-counterfeiting tokens, and they would be dropped upon death and could not be recovered.

This thing is now the pass for the undead to enter the Lungmen Underworld; without it, players can't even get into the slums.

This also prevents players from trading, forging, or repeatedly obtaining credentials.

Bai Ye was also surprised to discover that the game system would directly cooperate with the rules they set. In other words, in addition to local laws and regulations, the game system could also directly restrict players from the fourth wall.

This made Bai Ye feel even more like he was the planner or GM. Now, the game updates seemed to follow his own ideas, and once he made a big move, the game system would cooperate with his plan.

For example, the implicit update of the voucher changes it from a game item given by an NPC to a system-verified system item. The simple act of an NPC confiscating a voucher is transformed into the voucher being directly shattered under system monitoring.

In this situation, players will take it more seriously and won't just throw it away carelessly.

The intersection of the real world and virtual online game systems is indeed quite amazing.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye hasn't figured out the intelligence and patterns of this game system yet, so he has no way of controlling the specific content of the system updates and can only explore it slowly.

Of course, Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry. After all, it's only version 2.2 yet.

'Later, we could collaborate with the Emperor to make Sora a popular idol among players, thus reaping a huge profit from the anime and manga community.'

Bai Ye has many more plans. Or rather, he has just too many ideas, so he can only proceed slowly.

For example, right now, he has to take Dr. Kal'tsit and the others back to Rhodes Island.
