Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Bai Ye could only pray that he would meet one of them on his next trip to Yan Kingdom.

Now, we can only make do with temporary supplies.

Besides weapons, Bai Ye also needs to debug "Hannai 2".

This thing hasn't been inputted with any data yet and can't autopilot, so Bai Ye always drives his new aircraft, the Thunderhawk Landing Craft, around Rhodes Island, letting the AI ​​collect data.

……

Skadi not only bought a swimsuit as Bai Ye instructed, but she even bought him a coat similar to the Deep Sea Hunter style.

The hat was chosen by Specter.

Bai Ye really liked this outfit because it made him look like an old hunter, which reminded him of an old game full of Miyazaki Hayao's—no, Miyazaki Hidetaka's—malice.

After Bai Ye put on his clothes, even Ghost Shark had to admit that Bai Ye did indeed look like a deep-sea hunter.

Aside from hair color.

……

On the other side, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were still discussing.

“I heard they’re going to Siesta for vacation. Why don’t we go and take a vacation there too?”

“Taking a special vacation won’t do; I’m not that kind of person. Hmm… however, I do have a mission here: to trace the source of a batch of smuggled obsidian. We can go on that trip.”

"What? You're going to Siesta?"

"Yes, Sister Gui, I'm counting on you for Longmen..."

"Strange...why would it require two senior superintendents to investigate a case as minor as smuggling? Oh well..."

Hoshiguma scratched his head.

It seems she'll have to stay in Longmen to look after things for the time being.

Chapter 134 Entering the Water

Two days later, the aircraft piloted by Bai Ye landed in front of the Emperor's residence in Siesta City.

"We've finally arrived..." Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

The maiden flight of "Hannai 2" went awry. Midway through the flight, it suddenly started to misoperate, almost causing a crash. Fortunately, Bai Ye used magic to stabilize the aircraft while manually taking control of the aircraft, thus averting a disaster.

Sure enough, "I didn't expect the Emperor to have businesses here. Maybe he'll come to participate in the Obsidian Festival?"

Bai Ye almost forgot that, in addition to being an investor, the Emperor was also a rapper and had even played the piano in Letania a long time ago.

In that case, it's not hard to understand why someone would have a permanent residence in Siesta, a city that frequently hosts music festivals.

"Luckily, there's a big house with open space, otherwise I wouldn't know where to park this aircraft..."

Bai Ye originally planned to land directly in the port area, but that would be too conspicuous, and Bai Ye couldn't keep the optical cloaking device running indefinitely—even if he had a set of fuel, it wouldn't be enough for the device to consume.

Now that we've borrowed the empty land from the Emperor, it's just right.

SilverAsh happened to learn of this and sent a message to White Night with some regret:

[My ally, why didn't you say so sooner? I also have a helipad here... What a pity.]

SilverAsh held White Night in high esteem, not only because of White Night's status as an undead scholar, but also because of his mysterious relationship with the gods of Kjerag. It's important to know that while Kjerag is home to countless mortals, only a handful have actually seen Jeragand and become his friends.

However, Bai Ye always felt that this guy truly acknowledged him because he lost to him in a game of chess...

'Luckily, it didn't stop in his hangar...'

Bai Ye didn't want anyone to drag him into playing chess, wasting a precious holiday.

……

"very noisy……"

Stepping out of the residential area, all you're hit by is the heatwave and a cacophony of noise.

The noisiest of all was the radio.

Loudspeakers along the roadside continuously broadcast various carnival announcements and performance schedules.

"Although there's music, well... it's still a bit noisy." Specter shook his head.

Bai Ye glanced at the map in his hand: "The music festival in this city is a popular event at the Obsidian Festival every year. In addition to the main live performance held at the largest stage in Garrison Park in the evening, smaller live events are also held in various areas during the day."

Are you interested?

Ghost Shark blinked: "Different styles of art do bring different experiences, but there are still many days of holiday, so there's no rush."

"That's good, then I can get tickets for the VIP seats and won't have to squeeze in with other tourists."

Bai Ye nodded.

Skadi, however, seemed completely unconcerned.

Unlike Ghost Shark, she doesn't have that much passion for art.

However, she looked towards the "sea" in the distance.

"This is... the ocean on land?" Skadi sighed softly.

Although there were beaches and ocean, there were no familiar smells, no danger, and the sea was calm.

Just as Bai Ye said, it was merely a slightly larger lake, an amusement park in the eyes of land dwellers.

"But for you land people, it's big enough, isn't it?" Laurentina chuckled, a hint of disdain in her voice.

In fact, having seen the real ocean, Baiye couldn't feel anything about the lake in front of him.

“However, it’s certainly enough as a teaching location.” Laurentina said, grabbing Bai Ye’s arm. “Didn’t you want to learn our fighting style? Come with us.”

Skadi also became interested and grabbed Bai Ye's other hand.

The two deep-sea hunters took Bai Ye to the beach.

They bypassed the crowds playing on the beach, jumped directly into the water, and swam towards deeper and farther places.

(Dangerous actions, do not imitate. Please confirm that it is a permitted swimming area before entering the water and warm up properly. Readers who have undergone hydra transformation surgery can disregard the previous point.)

Because Bai Ye and his group moved very fast, they passed by in the blink of an eye. Only those who were familiar with Bai Ye would have noticed that he had just passed by.

……

In the shallow waters closer to the beach, many people were playing in the water. One wonders what the Iberians and Agorians would think of such a scene.

“We need to go deeper.” Ghost Shark frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

She and Skadi led White Night across the warning line, ignoring warning signs and buoys, and swam directly into the deep water.

Once you get here, there are no other tourists or people; the entire body of water is only inhabited by White Night, Skadi, and Ghost Shark.

【Bai Ye, open your eyes.】

Skadi and Specter held onto White Night to prevent him from losing control of his body and drifting away.

Communication is done by typing on a waterproof terminal.

What should I do?

Bai Ye slowly opened her eyes.

To be honest, he is very uncomfortable with this feeling of floating right now.

Moreover, as a terrestrial creature, he was used to breathing directly, and underwater, he always felt like he couldn't breathe.

【Look around first, get used to this feeling.】After typing, Skadi swam behind Bai Ye and supported him.

Following Skadi's instructions, Bai Ye turned and looked around.

Sunlight shines into the shimmering lake surface, leaving behind wondrous patterns in the water.

However, light cannot penetrate seawater to reach the deep water area, so the environment here is quite dark.

That's why most deep-sea hunters have white hair and red eyes.

If you feel suffocated or lack oxygen, be sure to say so in advance.

The two deep-sea hunters seemed to have a great interest in guiding Bai Ye.

Bai Ye waved his hand.

He had never encountered this problem before.

Strangely enough, if Skadi hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have even realized that he hadn't breathed through his nose in a long time.

Oxygen deficiency does not exist.

Once underwater, his body automatically switched to a different breathing system.

Bai Ye then realized that the "underwater breathing" displayed on the system panel actually felt like this...

Bai Ye's physical attributes are close to 70 points. Although he is still some distance from being a deep-sea hunter and is incomparable to a giant beast like him, his body can withstand the water pressure in deep water.

Bai Ye finally understood why all the deep-sea hunters were monsters. They wanted to fight in the deep sea. Putting aside the enemies, the water pressure alone was a terrifying problem.

Chapter 135 The Song of the Deep Sea Hunter

Actually, it's not just water pressure.

Hai Si's authority allowed Bai Ye to know that the Deep Sea Hunters' bodies had undergone special modifications, enabling them to adapt to the high-pressure, light-deprived environment of the deep sea. They were able to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside to prevent their bodies from being crushed by the external pressure.

However, what's most amazing is that this thing can quickly adjust its body pressure during the ascent, always keeping it in sync with the external pressure.

Perhaps this is the powerful adaptability and evolutionary ability of sea creatures. Generally speaking, deep-sea fish die immediately after surfacing to shallow waters, and ribbonfish, for example, die as soon as they are caught.

But this doesn't happen with fish like the Felidae.

……

Bai Ye's body now houses the nascent soul, making him a semi-modified Hai Si body, which is why he quickly adapted to the underwater environment.

Perhaps stimulated by the environment, Bai Ye's right arm was also slightly hot.

[Are you alright?] Skadi had clearly noticed the changes in Bai Ye's body. She reached out and grabbed Bai Ye's arm, afraid that Bai Ye would be possessed by Chu Sheng in the next second.

Bai Ye gave a thumbs-up to indicate that he was unharmed.

Honestly, it's really inconvenient not being able to communicate directly underwater.

Currently, White Night, Skadi, and Specter can only communicate through typing and sign language.

Specter released White Night and swam around Skadi and White Night.

Returning to the water made her feel exceptionally comfortable.

If she could, she would still prefer to stay in the water all the time.

……

Bai Ye spent half a day adapting to her body, from the enhanced senses to the completely new respiratory system.

Now, his eyes can see clearly in the dark, his ears can hear a wider range of sound frequencies, and his limbs are more powerful underwater.

This change was swift and imperceptible; by the time Bai Ye came to his senses, the nascent powers had already completed the transformation for him.

However, even so, there is still much for Bai Ye to learn.

First, there's movement.

The underwater world is similar to space, and it is three-dimensional. Therefore, most astronauts simulate space conditions underwater while on Earth.

This is no problem for Bai Ye either.

Before getting into the game, Bai Ye was trained by the Earth Federation as a prospective starship crew member, so this wasn't his first experience.

Moreover, even on the ground, space is three-dimensional for Bai Ye, since he can fly.

Moreover, moving quickly with the ocean currents was not unfamiliar to Bai Ye. In his view, these were similar to the wind and air currents on land.

His right arm felt slightly warm again, and some memories that Bai Ye had never experienced before slowly flowed into his brain.

Clearly, this imprisoned newborn has started generating gold coins again.

Bai Ye soon felt her body become more agile, just like stretching her body in the wind.

While swimming, Byakuya can sense the direction of the seawater and know all sorts of things in the sea where there is no light.
