Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

As they spoke, Bai Ye was led to the testing site, which was a converted multi-functional training room with instruments installed on the walls for collecting data.

"I'm here to apply for the position of head of the Rhodes Island field operations department. Do I also need to complete the combat operator test?" Bai Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

A personnel officer standing nearby replied with a smile, "Of course, dispatched agents will encounter more unexpected events and dangers. Personal combat ability and survival skills are the keys to survival in dangerous situations. Moreover, the field operations department also has a dedicated rescue and support team. If you want to become a department head, you must also be able to fight."

"Dr. Kal'tsit informed us that the testing intensity needs to be increased," the HR staff member whispered, handing the terminal to the typist.

The typist stared at the terminal screen in surprise: "Does Dr. Kal'tsit joke around? She hasn't even started working yet..."

“To hold such a position, one needs the corresponding abilities. The previous department head has already resigned due to injury, and the situation is becoming increasingly severe. We don’t want the next one to die on the job.” The personnel officer’s expression was very serious, indicating that he was not joking. “These are our boss’s exact words.”

……

However, neither the physical fitness test nor the practical test stumped Bai Ye, and he even easily passed the additional special environment simulation.

"Accepted."

Bai Ye reached out and helped up the four operators he had knocked down.

"Did you really use your full strength? I feel like you still have plenty to spare."

One of the agents couldn't help but ask further.

It's quite a disgrace that four operators from the same squad teamed up to take down one person.

Bai Ye shrugged: "Well, who knows?"

At this moment, a human resources officer walked up to Bai Ye and said, "Please forgive our complicated procedures. Although Rhodes Island has many ways to prevent and handle such situations, the first hurdle for officer review is always the human resources department."

"Actually, there are many contradictions and doubts in your resume. However, what determines whether an operator is qualified is not his behavior record, but his own will."

“You’ve done a great job. Even if you don’t get the position you want, I hope you can stay.”

After she finished speaking, she uploaded the document with her review comments to the Rhodes Island terminal.

"How are you feeling?" Typing Girl walked over with a bottle of water and tossed the cold plastic bottle to Bai Ye.

"The entry requirements for this medical company are a bit ridiculous..." Bai Ye felt that something was wrong. In his previous life, many Rhodes Island operators did not even have combat experience. How did they pass these strange and difficult tests?

The typist couldn't help but expose the truth: "The tests you've been through are special, and there are many extra procedures involved."

Normally, recruiting an operator only requires a medical examination and a competency test. After that, they need to participate in a training camp led by Rhodes Island instructors. After the training, they also need to take an assessment to meet the standards of an operational operator.

"I didn't know you were this strong." Typing Girl hadn't had a direct experience of Bai Ye's strength before, but now she had witnessed it firsthand.

Moreover, this guy hasn't used Originium Arts or magical talents yet; he definitely hasn't gone all out.

Bai Ye shook his head: "Not yet. It's still a question whether I can even fight a purebred Wendigo one-on-one right now."

I should have enough skill and experience, but Wendigo is too tanky, has strong armor, and his strength and Sarkaz rituals are terrifying, so I probably can't beat him.

"Why be so fixated on Wendigo?" the typist wondered.

The Asmodians and Lateranos have a long-standing feud, and some extreme Sarkaz might open fire on any Asmodians they encounter.

However, as an operator of Rhodes Island, Typing Girl should have no prejudice against Sarkaz. Furthermore, many Sarkaz have long since migrated away from Kazdel, and these descendants of overseas Sarkaz cannot be called demons.

Even so, in Typing Girl's eyes, pure-blooded Wendigos still represent destruction and slaughter.

"Perhaps it's because it's too powerful..."

White Nights is obsessed with Wendigo.

Even a low-health Wendigo is harder to deal with than Talulah.

It wasn't until the third version that players managed to complete the Wendigo raid, "The Last Patriot".

In the fourth version, "The Libertines' Tea Party" cleared the new Wendigo raid, with this elite player squad ultimately defeating the Ursus ultimate battlefield killing machine, "The Patriot Within." The cost was that half the players, including the commander, were killed.

This battle left Bai Ye feeling utterly defeated—his sword couldn't even pierce Patriot's outer armor. Hitting him felt like scraping his skin; it couldn't break through his defenses at all…

The fully-fledged "Big Daddy" demonstrated to players the terrifying power of Terra's high-end combat forces.

Even though the sixth version of Bai Ye had become stronger, he still couldn't forget his obsession.

Chapter 8 Onboarding

“I disagree. Putting a new recruit in a supervisory position directly is a disservice to him! You should tell him how his predecessor lost an arm in the line of duty.”

"Bai Ye is strong enough to take on this responsibility."

"Can you guarantee he won't do anything reckless?"

“Psychological tests and simulation tests are sufficient to reflect his abilities and attitude toward infected people.”

"He emphasized in the test that he was an egoist."

"Recognizing your own shortcomings is the first step to treating others with kindness."

“I always felt that he had his own ideas and purposes regarding this position.”

"At least, he has no intention of harming Rhodes Island."

……

Inside the meeting room, Rhode Island's management was engaged in a heated debate.

The Field Service Department is one of Rhodes Island's main departments, responsible for the affairs of dispatched operators and managing all overseas offices.

If Bai Ye successfully applies for this position, she will directly enter the management of Rhodes Island, a promotion that will be incredibly fast.

There has never been such a precedent before.

Finally, the HR manager shared his thoughts: "I've reviewed the pre-employment assessment report that Paper Cutter just sent over, and I personally support it. For all candidates, the most important thing is for them to find their place at Rhodes Island and to accept Rhodes Island."

“'When someone is constantly reflecting on and validating their ideals, we are willing to be their forge. The hardships on this land do not distinguish between yours and mine... We will overcome them together with our operators.' I hope everyone likes Miss Theresa's words.”

Dr. Kal'tsit glanced at Amiya, whose expression changed upon hearing Theresa's name, and tapped the table: "As is customary, let's begin the vote now."

……

"Alright, the vote is passed. Bai Ye will become the new head of Rhodes Island's field operations department."

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

"I can't believe you actually succeeded!" Typing Girl stared wide-eyed at Bai Ye's brand-new employee badge. This was the first time Bai Ye had ever seen such a wonderful expression on a girl's face.

So this child can be surprised too...

"This can't be right. Lightning-fast onboarding and promotion... How can something so outrageous happen?" The typist couldn't accept the fact that the newbie she was mentoring had suddenly become a high-ranking official at Rhodes Island. "Aren't they afraid you'll tear Rhodes Island apart?"

She kept muttering to herself.

"Perhaps you could also cause a ruckus in Dr. Kal'tsit's office and get promoted quickly?" Bai Ye was in a good mood, teasing Miss Angel while looking at the newly added "Rhodes Island Field Affairs Department Supervisor" entry on his game panel.

"white night!"

A clear female voice rang out behind him. Bai Ye turned around and saw Miss Blood Demon Warfarin standing behind him.

"?" Bai Ye slowly typed out a question mark. This guy actually chased after us again?

I think I heard about her intentions before in Dr. Kal'tsit's office.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Warfarin, a hematologist. Welcome to Rhodes Island."

Warfarin has a special self-designation. According to Bai Ye's understanding of the common language of Terra, this self-designation is a usage from the previous era and is no longer used in modern times.

What era did this old monster come from...? Bai Ye was speechless. How come Rhodes Island is full of living fossils?

“Something’s not right with you. Bai Ye, be careful. Miss Warfarin’s reputation on Rhodes Island is a bit complicated…” The Typing Girl looked wary. She swore she had never seen Warfarin so serious.

Where has that usually carefree and unreliable Blood Demon Miss gone?

Miss Angel felt that Rhodes Island's art style started to change in a strange direction after the arrival of White Night. Everyone seemed to be acting strangely.

Warfarin's forehead creased with a 'well' sign. She said "kindly," "Miss receptionist, Bai Ye has officially joined the company and is no longer a visitor. Your mission is complete."

This is none of your business anymore! You wretched Sakorta brat!

"It's alright. I've just arrived at Rhodes Island and there are still many unfamiliar places. I need this young lady to show me the way."

Bai Ye stepped forward and stood in front of the typist, then looked at Warfarin: "Miss Warfarin, there's no need to keep us in suspense. We can talk about whatever we need. We'll be colleagues from now on, so there's no need to beat around the bush."

"Can we talk about anything?" Warfarin immediately seized the opportunity without any restraint. Despite being a veteran of Rhodes Island, he had no airs whatsoever and completely disregarded his image.

“If I don’t say it outright, you’ll keep bothering me.” Bai Ye sighed. “Besides, I also have something to ask of Miss Warfarin.”

"Eh, you're actually interested in me?... Hmm, it's not impossible, but do you have the courage to travel with demons?" Miss Warfarin raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to Bai Ye.

"Don't joke around, Miss Warfarin knows that's not what I meant." Bai Ye blocked the petite figure that was trying to get closer from behind.

Warfarin laughed and said, "Hmph, if it only costs this little bit to get the rarest and most valuable blood sample, it's no big deal. Besides, I can just renege on the debt. Aren't all the blood demons in the novels you've read like this?"

"Idiot, you've revealed your intentions right away..." Bai Ye covered his forehead.

This guy is so unreliable.

"Let me be frank. You want my blood? No problem, I can give it to you. But I need more assistance from the medical department, and I also want knowledge of pharmacology."

The field operations department has a great need for medical assistance.

Furthermore, White Night currently lacks treatment options, and pharmacology can fill this gap.

"Deal!" Warfarin declared. "I like straightforward people."

"Hehe, we might be able to reach even more consensus in the future."

"Sure, sure. Why don't you come to my office now?"

……

"Damn it... I feel like I've witnessed a secret shady deal... It feels like two major dark forces on Rhodes Island have joined forces." Typing Girl trembled behind Bai Ye.

Although Bai Ye's support made the girl happy, at this moment she suddenly felt that Bai Ye seemed to be a shameless person as well.

"I need to go to my department first," Bai Ye said, hanging his employee badge around his neck. "Typing Girl, gather all the field staff on the island for a meeting!"

"I'm not your secretary..." The typist's expression became interesting once again.

She felt her public image had collapsed.

Chapter Nine: Supervisor Bai Ye

Despite her complaints, the Typing Girl was actually quite reliable. She contacted all the operators still on Rhodes Island via the terminal.

"No, I'll definitely bring you here in a while. You're too good a secretary." Bai Ye was really satisfied with this Sarkaz girl.

The typist rolled her eyes. She was doing quite well in the logistics department, so why was she suddenly transferred to fieldwork?

The definition of Rhodes Island's logistics department is quite broad, and it is a concept that is opposed to frontline operators. Most office-based clerical staff can call themselves logistics operators.

Logically speaking, a Lateran like Typing Girl would be more suitable to be a frontline combat operator, but unfortunately, the girl prefers a peaceful life.

However, recalling her unpleasant experiences in the logistics department and the countless problem children, Typing Girl suddenly felt that being transferred to Bai Ye's place as a secretary wasn't such an unacceptable thing.

Bai Ye was completely unaware that his casual remark had put the girl beside him in a dilemma. He simply put on the department head's uniform, hung up his Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals employee badge, and headed towards his department.

The supervisor's uniform was specially made and its style differed from the ordinary ones, making it quite easy to identify. When he walked through the corridors of the Rhodes Island ship wearing this uniform, he immediately attracted the attention of many operators.

Bai Ye was a new face, good-looking, and had become a supervisor without any prior connections. His mysterious background quickly fueled rumors within Rhodes Island. Many people went to the HR department to inquire about this newcomer.

Everyone was very curious. How could such a talented newcomer become a department head so soon after joining Rhodes Island?

How many managers does Rhode Island have in total?

They're all super big shots!

The white night always feels different when mixed in.

This lightning-fast promotion is outrageous.

The most outrageous rumor was that a certain operator claimed this new recruit was Dr. Kal'tsit's illegitimate son...

The key point is that this statement has gained the approval of many people.

That afternoon, someone saw the operator being hung on the bridge...

The rumor was proven wrong.

No one paid any attention to this daredevil who had just won a private seat at the Bridge University.

Because this thing is frequently posted online, everyone's gotten used to it.
