Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Perhaps... the situation isn't as bad as we think?" Bai Ye said softly from the side.

White Night's voice was so soft that even Ghost Shark, with its super senses, couldn't hear it clearly.

His body contains the seal of primordial life, which causes him to periodically receive more secretive and obscure information. Bai Ye usually refers to these things as inspiration.

Thanks to these things, Bai Ye gradually learned some secrets that even the Deep Sea Hunters did not know.

For example, the sea creatures aren't actually that bad; they're a rather passive species. The real enemy is the Deep Sea Church.

However, he won't reveal these things for now. Ghost Shark and the other deep-sea hunters have been fighting the Sea Spirit for so long that they're already bloodthirsty; without concrete evidence, they won't stop.

It's not the time to talk about that yet; Bai Ye turned her attention back to the holiday.

It has to be said that Terra's average appearance is quite attractive; even a random passerby gains extra charm because of their kemonomimi (animal-eared) attributes. No wonder this game can attract a large number of players without deliberately selling fanservice.

Before transmigrating, Bai Ye had read a survey that showed a large portion of players weren't drawn in by the gameplay or the world-building. Their main reason for starting the game was the kemonomimi (animal-eared girls)...

All sorts of kemonomimi (animal-eared girls).

It has to be said that lewd content is the primary driving force behind gaming, and that statement seems to make no mistake.

……

However, after looking around, Bai Ye realized that Skadi and Specter were indeed the most attractive.

The swimsuit was torn by White Night, so Skadi changed into a rather revealing dress, her long white hair flowing in the wind, making her look like a delicate and weak young girl.

Specter, on the other hand, was wearing her previous nun's habit. She seemed quite pleased with the outfit and had no intention of changing it. Of course, it's also possible that she wanted to constantly remind herself of the torture she suffered at the Deep Sea Church.

Bai Ye, on the other hand, was dressed in a black hunting outfit that was completely out of place for a holiday, and he was also wearing a hat. He didn't look like he was on vacation at all.

Here's a joke: Please identify which of the following three individuals is a Deepsea Hunter.

However, Bai Ye's image isn't particularly outrageous in Siesta's eyes.

After all, besides him, there is a large group of players who are also in a chaotic frenzy. Recently, Lungmen seems to be holding an event where players can receive special costumes, so most players are wearing this outfit.

It's not just the players; even the natives are acting strangely, like the guy in the previous video wearing incredibly heavy riot gear. He was also wearing a helmet with a one-way transparent visor, completely covering himself up.

This image resembles that of early Earth astronauts or deep-sea divers. Aren't they afraid of the heat?

Oh, and there's that little tiger on the other side, why is she dressed so formally in the Lungmen Guard Bureau uniform? Judging from her appearance, she doesn't look like a player at all; you can't just wear those things randomly.

……

Well, I know quite a few people in this small city of Siesta.

Bai Ye was surprised to find that even Big Bob and Swire had come.

Chapter Four: I clearly treat you like a brother

"Chen, look!"

Shi Huaiya pointed to the white night not far away and tugged at Chen Huijie's sleeve.

These days they've been working on the case, and "incidentally" they've also been looking for Bai Ye. They've found quite a few Rhodes Island operators, but they haven't seen Bai Ye at all.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye himself has now appeared.

Most of Bai Ye's acquaintances know his clothing preferences—aside from the Rhodes Island headquarters supervisor's uniform, his wardrobe is probably filled with trench coats and hunting suits like this.

Even in the chaotic city of Siesta, where players were running rampant, such attire was still very conspicuous. Not to mention the two rather eye-catching white-haired girls beside Bai Ye.

Aside from Swire and Chen Huijie, there were quite a few familiar faces around. The one bundled up tightly in a bomb suit was Big Bob, while the ones at the barbecue stall next to him were Himer and Little Dragon.

Not far away, the Doctor was strolling around with Amiya, and even Dr. Kal'tsit was following behind.

The old woman looked disgusted and unwilling, as if she had been dragged out of Rhodes Island's main ship. She had a lynx-like face and looked like the Doctor owed her two million.

However, for Amiya's sake, the old woman did not make a scene on the spot.

As Bai Ye and the two deep-sea hunters appeared, a nimble catgirl leaped down from a building beside the street, landing lightly on the ground. She then activated her personal communication terminal: "Master, the target has been spotted."

"Okay, I'll invite him."

……

It was as if Bai Ye became the center of attention the moment he appeared, with people coming towards him from all directions.

Not only the locals, but also the players gathered around.

"You're quite popular, aren't you?" Ghost Shark was somewhat surprised. This overwhelming crowd seemed to rival the school of Terrorfish. It seemed that humans on land could also have a rather terrifying side.

"Did some big star come to Second Avenue? They're even more popular than me!"

The Emperor pushed up the sunglasses perched on the bird's beak, his tone full of surprise.

However, after glancing at the undead in the crowd, the Emperor suddenly realized: "So it's that brat Bai Ye. He's not bad at all. I used to think he was just making empty promises, but it turns out he actually has some talent."

"Then why did the boss invest in him in the first place?" Exusiai, who was eating a waffle next to the Emperor, asked with some curiosity.

The Emperor smiled and said, "The reason is simple: I'm happy to. Besides, the kid who managed to sneak into our safe house without us even noticing is quite an interesting fellow."

Bai Ye's "zero-yuan purchase" was very purposeful, and he only took a small portion of the items, even leaving an apology letter on the terminal desktop, which piqued the Emperor's interest in him.

"The guy who can easily deflect my bullets is as agile as Texas." Exusiai nodded.

"Now, let's give that kid a hand. Sora, it's your turn. I'm tired. I didn't expect DDD to be so energetic."

The Emperor jumped off the makeshift stage, while Kong, the professional idol of Penguin Logistics, went up to him.

"Hajimaru!"

This move was incredibly effective, drawing players back to Sora's appearance.

By the way, Kongzai is very popular among players. Ever since his first performance was recorded and uploaded to the forum by players, his popularity has skyrocketed, even surpassing many current idols and singers in real life, making them question their existence.

How come my own online traffic is less than that of a virtual character in a game?

It's embarrassing, but it's true... Even Sora probably doesn't know that she has far more player fans in real life than she does among the natives of Terra.

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

"Although I don't know what happened, it's a good thing that the players have left again."

Bai Ye wasn't in the mood to deal with the players right now; he was on holiday and didn't want to be interrupted.

However, without the players blocking his way, he was able to gather with the other acquaintances.

The first to arrive were naturally two Lungmen Guard Bureau agents, Chen Huijie and Swire.

Chen Huijie was dressed like an ordinary tourist, wearing denim shorts and a swimsuit top, a baseball cap, and carrying the Crimson Sky Sword in a cloth bag on her back. The girl's long legs and large expanses of fair skin were exposed, and she exuded youthful energy.

Swire, on the other hand, was dressed properly in his police uniform and looked... a little silly.

Bai Ye's gaze was fixed on Chen Huijie. In the past, when the two of them met, Chen Huijie was always wearing a uniform and had a serious and solemn expression. She always had a stern face and looked quite fierce.

Bai Ye has always treated her like a buddy, and that's absolutely true.

But now...

Bai Ye never expected that Lao Chen would be so handsome. Perhaps it was because the contrast between his two images was so great that his current attire was very charming.

It's refreshing and eye-catching.

Moreover, Bai Ye really didn't expect that Chen Huijie's frontal armor was so magnificent. Usually, she was covered up by her uniform, and you couldn't tell at all that she had such a strong asset.

“Bai Ye’s eyes are practically glued to you—” Swire puffed out her cheeks.

She looked at Chen Huijie with suspicion. Although she had to admit that Chen Huijie, who was wearing a swimsuit for the first time, was indeed very eye-catching, she thought, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

and many more……

Swire suddenly noticed a blind spot. She glared at Chen Huijie and said, "You bad guy, did you dress like this on purpose? No wonder you dragged me shopping last month. You were planning this all along, weren't you!"

"You're overthinking it." Chen Huijie's face flushed slightly, but she vehemently denied it.

"Hmph, you must have done it on purpose. You knew that dressing like this would definitely attract Bai Ye's attention." Swire muttered under her breath, then followed Chen Huijie to greet them.

"The two people next to him, are they the ones you mentioned... um, girlfriends?" Although Chen Huijie said she didn't care, her eyes were fixed on Skadi and Specter.

Like Swire, she instinctively sensed the danger posed by the two deep-sea hunters, a feeling that even surpassed that of Wei Yanwu, with whom she had sparred.

Even when Chen Huijie was caught in the ghost shark's crimson gaze, she had a strange feeling that she was being watched by a predator.

Even the Chixiao behind Chen Huijie began to tremble slightly.

'Who exactly are they?' Chen Huijie wondered.

……

"Kitten, we meet again."

Specter smiled at Swire.

Bai Ye then came to her senses.

After seeing Chen Huijie like this, it seems difficult to remain brothers with him in the future...

Chapter 5: The Chuunibyou Girl

"Why are you all here on vacation too?"

Bai Ye forced herself to distract herself. To be honest, after getting used to Chen Huijie's original uniform, seeing this tourist C in a revealing swimsuit was truly stunning.

"We're here to investigate a case," Chen Huijie said, trying to appear calm.

In fact, Chen Huijie just didn't show it on the surface; she was very shy inside. Especially after Bai Ye appeared, Chen Huijie began to secretly observe Bai Ye's reaction.

This swimsuit and denim shorts combination was chosen for her by Mrs. Wen Yue. Although Chen Huijie goes shopping regularly and is fashion-conscious, buying herself luxury jewelry such as pendant earrings.

However, in terms of vision, she is naturally inferior to Madam Wenyue, who has been through it all. Moreover, Madam Wenyue is not an old-fashioned person who knows nothing about fashion; one of her hobbies is racing cars.

"Just wear it without worry, I guarantee that kid will be completely mesmerized."

Before leaving, this is what Madam Wenyue said to her.

And so it turned out.

……

Suppressing her distracting thoughts, Chen Huijie explained, "Several cases have emerged in Longmen involving false advertising of the medicinal effects of obsidian."

Obsidian is mainly found in volcanic areas, and Siesta happens to be a major producer of obsidian. Furthermore, to attract tourists, the locals even promote obsidian as a cure for orthophyte disease.

However, this argument is not feasible in Lungmen, and the authorities have not issued any medical-related business licenses. Selling obsidian to infected individuals by fabricating efficacy claims is naturally illegal.

Since it involved infected individuals, Chen Huijie took it quite seriously, so she came over with Miss Swire to investigate the source of the obsidian.

"Is that all?" Bai Ye was even more puzzled, wondering what these two policewomen were up to. The Lungmen Guard Bureau's Special Inspectorate mostly dealt with serious cases. This case only involved obsidian, not some kind of Originium dangerous material. Why would it require two senior superintendents to be dispatched?

'Could it be that they're using obsidian as a cover to investigate some dangerous case?' Bai Ye mused.

Although the three are partners, Chen Huijie is a person who clearly separates public and private matters, so she naturally wouldn't reveal the secrets of the Guard Bureau, and Miss Swire is much the same.

However, Bai Ye was unaware that the two women weren't actually hiding anything; they had genuinely come for this trivial matter. Investigating the case was just a side job; relaxing was the real priority.

This was specially approved by Wei Yanwu, since Lungmen had been dealing with the high-pressure security situation caused by the sudden appearance of players, and the entire Guard Bureau had been working very hard. Now that the situation has improved, the Guard Bureau also needs to give people time off in batches to relax.

Well, of course, these two also wanted to see the two girlfriends who appeared next to Bai Ye.

However, this is by no means the point, and Swire said he doesn't care at all.

……

Bai Ye wasn't clear on the intricacies of the matter, but in the spirit of treating allies, he briefly explained what he knew: "Siesta City had already banned the mining of obsidian before, as excessive mining had already caused disastrous consequences."

"Disastrous consequences?" Chen Huijie asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, right, you probably don't know this, but this city almost collapsed a few days ago." Bai Ye then told the two what she had discovered a few days earlier.

"Hiss—" Even the two battle-hardened individuals couldn't help but gasp. The natural disaster that could bring a city to the brink of destruction was something they had almost narrowly escaped...

"The obsidian currently being sold to Lungmen is probably all illegally mined by Kronin and his men. But there's no need to worry about that, since that guy has probably already fallen from power," Bai Ye said calmly.

This kind of news is no longer a big deal to him. Having gained a higher perspective, his horizons have broadened, and the fate of ordinary people is no longer worth his attention.

Chen Huijie paused for a moment, then cross-referenced the information Bai Ye had given her with the information she had obtained through her informant. After confirming the information, she nodded and said, "Thank you. With that, some of my questions have been answered."

……

While Chen Huijie and Bai Ye were chatting, Ghost Shark approached Swire and said, "Why are you dressed so formally? You would look great in a swimsuit, wouldn't you?"

"I... I used too much force! It's so hot!" Swire was furious.
