Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"What's wrong?" Bai Ye tilted his head.

Miss Lateran remained silent.

Seeing this, Bai Ye became even more enthusiastic. After pressing her for a long time, the girl finally asked hesitantly, "You slept in Miss Warfarin's room yesterday?"

"Don't ask me how I know. Your dorm isn't ready yet, but we have a guesthouse specially prepared for visitors."

"But I looked for you for a long time yesterday and couldn't find you. It was your colleague in the department who told me that you had been taken away by Miss Warfarin."

Miss Typing Girl spoke so much in one breath, her delicate face turning red. She was clearly not used to speaking long sentences and didn't even take a breath in between.

"Uh, I just took a nap in her bed..." Bai Ye quickly explained.

"You don't need to explain to me... What?! Sleeping in Miss Warfarin's bed?" Typing Girl felt that she hadn't shown as many expressions as she had in the past year. She couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Bai Ye's sleeve, saying, "Rhodes Island is already chaotic enough with just one Miss Warfarin. If there's another... no, maybe two little Warfarins, wouldn't it be like the sky is about to fall?"

"What are you thinking about... I was just sleeping, nothing happened." Bai Ye hadn't expected that Miss Lateran's associations and imagination were so strong, that she could think so far ahead.

"No, I need to calm down..." The Lateran girl blushed deeply. She realized that whenever she encountered Bai Ye, some messy situation would inevitably cause her to lose her composure.

But this kind of life seems quite interesting? Much more exciting than the unchanging daily routine before.

What the typist didn't know was that this was just the beginning.

It's important to know that Rhodes Island hasn't recruited operators on a large scale yet, and many unique and individualistic operators haven't joined the island. Most of the troubles the logistics department has are actually caused by young, unruly operators.

In fact, that's it.

In the future, all sorts of deities will come to the island, and all sorts of dramas will unfold, making it truly spectacular.

Compared to them, Bai Ye can be considered a normal person.

……

Typing Girl led Bai Ye to his dormitory.

After Bai Ye was promoted to a higher position on the island at lightning speed yesterday, PRTS and the logistics department began arranging Bai Ye's dormitory.

Supervisors will definitely have their own private dorm rooms, a rare privilege in Rhodes Island where space is scarce.

"The drone has already cleared the space for you, but the modular furniture has not yet been unfolded. You can arrange it yourself on the terminal interface."

"If you want to customize something, you can contact the logistics department or communicate directly with PRTS."

Actually, all these things could be handled by PRTS, but the typist didn't say it outright. Instead, she told Bai Ye herself through her role as a receptionist.

I don't know what she is thinking.

Bai Ye, of course, did not notice such details; he was looking at the furniture parts on the ground with great interest.

These are pre-made modular parts: table legs, armrests, cushions—everything is included. With just a little assembly, they can be transformed into exquisite furniture. Moreover, you don't need to do it yourself; drones can handle the heavy physical labor.

In its previous life, this thing was quite popular among players.

Players always have a special fondness for decorating their own homes. However, owning your own home in Arknights Online is no easy feat.

It wasn't until the later stages of the second version, when the player community emerged and various political entities built areas specifically for players in the mobile city to attract and retain them, that most players finally had their own private space.

These players don't like buying ready-made furniture; instead, they prefer to use various furniture parts to recreate their favorite home styles.

The most outrageous is the "promotion worship" cult.

Yeah, those who know, know. That's what these people like to do.

In any case, they always appear in the homestead system of various games.

The same applies to Arknights Online.

The existence of these players did indeed cause some misunderstandings among the scholars of Terra. When these "Calamity scholars" visited some player communities and investigated the culture and customs of these "Outcast races," they came to some rather outrageous conclusions.

For example, the player culture continues the "promotion worship" that originated in ancient times. Scholars speculate that this is because the player group has lost the ability to reproduce; they cannot even remove their pants... Although they outwardly possess secondary sexual characteristics and are distinct from both sexes, they are unable to actually use them...

In short, these misconceptions about research findings are not very reliable...

……

Is there something you're not satisfied with?

Seeing Bai Ye staring blankly at the furniture parts, Typing Girl was a little puzzled.

"No, no, I'm just thinking about how to arrange things afterward." Bai Ye snapped out of her reverie and stood up from the parts module box.

Looking up at the protective barrier, Bai Ye joked, "I've heard that the production of each fluorescent lamp requires the consumption of one Sarkazan's aura. Is that true?"

"Azhe..."

The Typing Girl had no idea how Bai Ye's brain worked, or why he would come up with such an outrageous, hellish joke.

"Don't say these things in front of those notaries at the Lateran Notary Office. They might not be able to resist shooting you, no matter how good-looking you are..." Miss Typing Girl gave her final piece of advice.

It's a pity that Bai Ye has a mouth.

The typing girl missed Bai Ye, who didn't talk much when she first arrived on the island, even though it only lasted for half a day.

Bai Ye wanted to chat with this Miss Lateran about the notary office, but suddenly frowned and pulled the girl aside.

The unsuspecting girl was completely bewildered and fell into Bai Ye's arms, at a loss for what to do.

The next second, the door to the room opposite Bai Ye's dormitory suddenly opened, and a pillar of fire shot out from inside.

"puff--"

Water mist suddenly sprayed from the ceiling of the corridor.

As Bai Ye opened the wind shield, he observed his surroundings and realized that there were an absurd number of fire-fighting equipment around him, especially various nozzles.

The corridor was flooded with steam from the high temperature.

Bai Ye waved his hand to disperse the mist, released the typing girl, and only then did he see the culprit behind all of this.

She was a little girl with short blonde hair, tied in short pigtails.

The flame in the girl's hand hadn't died down yet, and her face still seemed to hold a fierce expression. The moment she saw Bai Ye, her expression froze, and she opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

Just as Bai Ye was about to speak, the other person suddenly glanced into the room, then took off running...

A moment later, a young Liberian woman wearing glasses rushed out of the room. She first apologized anxiously to Bai Ye, and then chased after him.

"..."

Bai Ye withdrew his innate magic.

It was only then that the typist finally realized what had happened.

"Rhodes Island is really something..." Bai Ye looked completely bewildered.

Typing Girl straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes, looked expressionlessly at the room across from Bai Ye's dormitory with its door wide open, and said quietly, "I forgot to tell you... there are a lot of temperature monitoring systems and fire sprinklers here, so please be careful when using kitchen utensils."

Chapter Eleven: Work and Making Money

After introducing the dormitory, Ms. Typing Princess led Bai Ye on a tour of some of the more basic areas of Rhodes Island.

In fact, the entire Rhodes Island ship is only about the size of a mobile city-state (which is already quite large!).

However, due to its rather absurd three-dimensional structure, Rhodes Island can accommodate more people than a typical small mobile city-state, including garrison personnel and patients with Oripathy treated at Rhodes Island.

Finally, Typing Girl led Bai Ye back to his office.

Baiye's office is naturally located in the field department. It is an independent supervisor's office with robust level 3 security, a level 7 access electronic door, and two systems, including an independent circulation system.

"My task is complete. If you need anything afterward, just tell PRTS." After saying this, the typist prepared to leave.

Bai Ye glanced at the Rhodes Island Terminal System (PRTS) on the terminal, then looked up and called out to Typing Girl: "So, could you reconsider what I told you before?"

Bai Ye really wanted this Sakota girl to be his secretary. After all, she had a very calm personality, was almost always willing to help, and was usually very quiet, unlike the other Lateran angels who were more lively.

And there's another important point: Bai Ye had heard in his previous life that the Lateran people were all very good at making desserts.

Bai Ye is an absolute dessert lover. If she could get along well with the angels, wouldn't she be able to eat all kinds of desserts every day?

Sigh, it's all Exusiai's fault for being so useless.

Bai Ye had known this angel, who was also from Laterano, back in Lungmen. However, this girl was obsessed with Apuru and was not a proper Laterano angel at all.

“Emmm…” Typing Girl fell into deep thought.

She didn't dislike her original job, but she wouldn't say she liked it either. As for Rhodes Island, she viewed it as a pharmaceutical company that accepted Lateranos as employees, without needing to worry about other troublesome matters. Of course, she was quite satisfied with her life there.

Although it can be quite chaotic here at times, and there are a lot of problem children...

To be honest, she was somewhat tempted by Bai Ye's suggestion.

The logistics department, especially her department, always has to clean up messes for some problem children. After several times, she always feels a bit mentally exhausted.

Moreover, she actually had a pretty good impression of Bai Ye.

Moreover, this job might be more in line with her inner thoughts—she, the Lateran Typist, just wants to live a peaceful life!

"Well, I'll submit my application to the HR department when I get back." Typing Girl was a straightforward person; once she had made up her mind, she wouldn't dwell on it anymore.

After saying that, she ran away in a hurry without waiting for Bai Ye's reply.

Bai Ye always felt that her back looked somewhat disheveled.

"..."

Bai Ye tidied up the office and sat down in his chair.

"PRTS?"

He opened his personal terminal and tried calling out.

[ID α, Access Permission -7.]

[Manager Bai Ye, welcome to the Elementary Rhodes Island Terminal System.]

PRTS's voice leans towards that of a young woman, but it generally sounds neutral, which is quite nice.

This immediately improved Bai Ye's mood, as he recalled his intelligent butler from his previous life.

[Your intentions have been analyzed using biometric data, and the system has detected that you are in a good mood. It's a sunny day today.]

"Let's get down to work first." Bai Ye stretched and then took out the bread he had bought at the cafeteria earlier from his pocket.

[Carbohydrate intake detected. Supervisor Bai Ye, please pay attention to a balanced diet. The system recommends including the following vegetables and fruits for breakfast...]

While flipping through the documents provided by PRTS on the terminal, Bai Ye ate some bread and found that the system seemed to have a lot of information.

Has the messenger already set off?

[Database query in progress. Query complete. Results: 23 people have already departed. The remaining 7 people are making preparations due to the remote location.]

Bai Ye sighed helplessly upon hearing this: "The communication methods are too backward. On average, it takes 7 days to transmit information, and that's even with expedited processing."

The recording of Bai Ye's previous speech, as well as some of the proposals discussed and finalized afterward, have been distributed by messengers to the offices set up in various important hub areas.

Natural disasters and Originium have disrupted direct communication between cities; it's something that can't be helped.

PRTS offered words of comfort.

Bai Ye nodded; that was all they could do for now.

However, this situation may improve once a large number of players log in.

It's not just about having more staff and more frequent communication.

More importantly, players have a communication system independent of Terra – they can type or voice chat directly in the game!

Moreover, there are forums.

Although this greatly reduces the security of information, it enables revolutionary instant communication technology by having two players in different locations!

This technology is of strategic importance to Terra, a continent that is heavily reliant on messengers.

Unfortunately, players are uncontrollable and cannot be relied upon too much. However, a dedicated department could be set up to recruit a group of more laid-back players to complete the construction of this human-powered communication system.

"PRTS, record my thoughts for future reference. This task is the top priority. Execute it as soon as the time is right."

Bai Ye instantly switched into work mode. He couldn't sit in the office all the time, so he needed to prioritize handling or delegating tasks. This way, he could run around freely.

As a supervisor, he doesn't need to do everything himself. Bai Ye prefers to resolve problems through force rather than management. However, these "office duties" still need to be done; at the very least, he needs to assign tasks to his subordinates so they can carry them out.

"PRTS, help me set up a discussion group. From now on, all management meetings of the field operations department will be conducted through the discussion group."

"PRTS, help me..."

Once Bai Ye is in work mode, he is extremely efficient. He can handle his work without distraction, a habit he developed as a gamer in his previous life. He can mechanically level up for an entire day, successfully hypnotizing a large number of viewers in his live stream.
