Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Page 271

Come to think of it, the fact that he was able to say all this on their first meeting seems to be due to Bai Ye's high charm and approachable aura.

Does this mean this thing is more effective on men than women? That's just awful...

"So, I'm asking you, what do you want?" Rambo looked at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "I just want to make a friend. By the way, I'm also very interested in the Colombian military, the alcohol and tobacco spellcasting unit, the Originium Products Administration, and some research institutions."

"I am a Colombian soldier, and I am loyal to this country," Lambo said righteously.

After a pause, he suddenly spoke again: "However... the current situation is truly disheartening."

"Well, I'm afraid of trouble, so let's just leave it at that. I also know some people up there, and perhaps I have some information that you might find interesting."

As Rambo spoke, he led Bai Ye to the governor.

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

Although the governor was hiding in the military camp and being protected.

However, in reality, they were still detained and guarded. Nominally it was for protection, but in reality it was for control.

When Bai Ye entered the cell where he was imprisoned, he saw a haggard middle-aged man.

When the players stormed into the prison in his previous life and dragged him out to hack him to death, he seemed to be in better health than he is now. Perhaps it was because the future was already certain at that time, so they were more at ease.

Now, he is just a pitiful person tormented by an unknown future and fate.

but……

"I'm sorry, but for the greater good, I have no choice but to let you sacrifice yourself."

The white night sealed the governor's fate.

"Is that so?" The middle-aged man nodded slightly.

Rambo also sighed: "I will help take care of your wife and children."

"……I see."

Upon learning his ultimate fate, the middle-aged man actually smiled with relief.

Contrary to the common guesses and impressions players have of the vicious and mad governor, this guy was also caught in a situation beyond his control.

Bai Ye handed over a bottle of specially made medicine.

Under its influence, one could die without pain, and the autopsy report would be unable to determine the cause. Bai Ye also created this strange potion unintentionally.

I never imagined I'd ever need it...

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

"What are your plans next?"

Rambo looked at the middle-aged man who was slowly lying down and asked.

"The Undead have probably left by now..." Bai Ye glanced at the player announcement that popped up out of the corner of his eye. The gist of it was that the AI's logic had malfunctioned and had been "fixed" by the server through a non-stop update.

Looking at the announcement, Bai Ye gained a clearer understanding of his own identity.

He is not merely a host to the beacon and the power of the wind.

Similarly, he is able to directly intervene and handle some issues on Terra that Luna cannot resolve.

Luna cannot directly influence the Terra continent for the time being, but she can correct the world through the White Nights.

As patches are added and the number of players increases, Luna's authority here will also increase. Eventually, after dimensional fusion, she will become the administrator of this planet.

It's probably just a proxy GM.

……

At first, Rambo didn't quite believe it.

However, he soon received the report.

Unable to comprehend this situation, Rambo could only attribute it all to White Night.

The scholar who called himself "ordinary" was, in his eyes, utterly mysterious at this moment.

"Don't forget your promise."

Bai Ye nodded slightly to him.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Seria

(Congratulations to the old man ring, best of the year)

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

"Bai Ye has emerged."

"This system is so slow at fixing bugs in AI. It's been a month and it's only now that it's resolved."

"At least it will be resolved... Don't you remember how long it took to get banned for using scripts on the old-school Chinese server?"

"Using scripts is nothing, just change the skin! Ban them immediately, even more efficient than the IRS."

"You're something else, hacking two at once."

The players naturally saw the announcement and started discussing it.

Despite all the upsetting things that have happened, with compensation, it's all possible to pretend nothing happened. Players are quite flexible when it comes to "amnesia."

Luna's compensation is definitely enough to satisfy players.

The speed at which these bugs are fixed is actually understandable, after all, this "game" is a groundbreaking full-dive game, completely different from those of the past.

So far, this is the only bug that has appeared.

……

They definitely didn't want to stay there any longer, so they decided to follow Bai Ye's suggestion and head to the nearby snowy landscape of Sherag.

Some even speculated that Bai Ye had entered the military camp just now to fix a bug.

It has to be said that this generation of netizens is quite remarkable. Although their aggressiveness has been greatly reduced due to Luna's "Green Internet Purification Campaign," they are all prophetic figures who deserve to be killed.

White Night arrived in haste, only to depart just as quickly with Sister Laurentina.

"Shall we go back now?"

Ghost Shark was somewhat puzzled.

What's the big deal about Bai Ye making this trip?

"No, we're going to see a friend."

White Night brought Ghost Shark to another mobile city in another state of Colombia.

……

"That's... Raytheon Industries?"

Ghost Shark spotted the billboard next to it.

"Yes, Rembiton and Thor Industries are both pretty good blacksmith shops. If your saw breaks, you can have a new one custom-made at a shop in the core city," Bai Ye said, using a player's terminology.

Players often jokingly refer to these equipment manufacturers as blacksmith shops, a term that still reflects the fantasy setting.

Currently, many well-known companies have established branches in the mobile cities of the Marquisate of Talulah.

These were all people that Bai Ye actively courted. The target customer group was mostly gamers.

This naturally includes "Raytheon Industries".

Speaking of which, Bai Ye only found out last time that Chen Huijie's awesome weapon "Crimson Sky" was also produced by Thunder God Industries.

It should be a weapon custom-made by Wei Yanwu.

So, who are we waiting for?

Ghost Shark sat on an outdoor chair at a roadside cafe, holding a drink in his hand.

After Bai Ye brought her here, he concealed his whereabouts and walked all the way here.

"They're right behind us, but don't turn around."

Bai Ye said softly.

At the same time, he activated the soundproof barrier.

"Sorry, I was a little late because I was dealing with the aftermath."

A familiar voice came from the seat behind Bai Ye.

It was Saria, whom Bai Ye met in prison, who was disguised as a prison guard.

Even if Bai Ye intervenes, Saria will still take the initiative to help Shan escape from prison.

After this incident, they entered into a cooperative relationship. Even Himer was unaware of this.

Both Bai Ye and Saria kept this matter a secret.

"There shouldn't be any informants around now, right?" Saria asked.

"Not yet, but your target is too obvious. You should change your outfit," Bai Ye couldn't help but complain.

"I'm really not good at this... but I still got the intelligence."

Seria has been investigating since leaving Rhine Lab.

"Can we confirm the experimental project for Charmander?" Bai Ye asked.

"Little Fire Dragon, hehe, that's quite fitting. That's right, Ifrit's experiment has been basically investigated."

Seria stated definitively, "The Colombian Ministry of Defense has commissioned Rhine Lab and other relevant institutions to research the [Flame Demon Fragment]. If this research succeeds, the military's power could even disrupt the current strategic balance among nations."

"A chimeric life form..." Bai Ye seemed to be deep in thought.

“Although the experimental project has been sealed and the records destroyed, there should still be backups, which I will find. As for this location, there might be something that interests you,” Saria said.

"I see."

"This is the intelligence I've gathered, and I've already placed it under the coffee cup in front of you," Bai Ye said in a low voice.

White Night seems to be quite efficient at gathering intelligence on various research institutions in Colombia through players.

"Thank you." Saria sighed. "It feels really good to have someone help you. Thank you for your concern for Ifrit."

"You're overthinking it. I'm just doing this for my own purposes." Bai Ye shook his head.

Although Colombia doesn't have any giant beasts, their technology is quite advanced, and they've also unearthed various relics from pre-civilizations, which Bai Ye finds very interesting.

Even a single "Flame Demon Fragment" is extremely valuable.

Bai Ye was certain that the fragment on the little dragon was not the only one.

Yes, it's definitely not because I wanted to help Ifrit's family...

"Let's just say that's how it is," Saria smiled.

She put on the hat and picked up the data chip that Bai Ye had given her.

After exchanging words back to back, the two went their separate ways.

Ghost Shark couldn't help but look back, only to see a tall woman with long white hair leaving.

"Why are all your friends white-haired?"

Ghost Shark couldn't help but complain.

Bai Ye thought about it and realized it really was true...

Leaving aside the two deep-sea hunters, almost everyone else that Bai Ye was familiar with was white-haired.

Kal'tsit, fafa0, Typing Princess.
