Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Anyway, he had too many reasons to go. Chen Huijie asked him to find out information. The main world plot of the first and second versions of the game also mostly unfolded in Ursus. Besides, he also needed to make money.

"..." The logistics supervisor hesitated, unsure of what to say. This time, it was her turn to deal with the elderly's cell phones on the subway...

This is probably the first time that Rhodes Island's field operations manager has personally gone out on a mission.

"As the person in charge of field operations, it's perfectly normal for me to personally carry out field missions," Bai Ye explained.

"...Afterwards, the field operators will collect the supplies using their credentials before they depart. Um, we'll also prepare your share for you."

"Thank you."

The logistics supervisor watched her colleague leave speechlessly, feeling that she might need to take a break; Rhodes Island's atmosphere had become rather abnormal.

Are managers starting to see internal competition too?

……

Bai Ye's next target is the engineering department.

He needs to request some additional support for his dispatched operators, and he also needs some new equipment as a supplement.

The standard weapons are only of blue quality. Although they are sufficient for players to use in the early to mid-game, their attributes are far superior to those of players of the same level. Moreover, considering factors such as skill level, technique, and combat experience, blue weapons are no longer sufficient to keep up with their strength.

Acquiring new equipment is urgent.

In the engineering department, Bai Ye met Kroos.

She is also a blood demon, but she is younger than Warfarin.

Of course, the same unconventionality and frivolity.

When Bai Ye saw her, this guy was modifying the engine of an assault boat.

"Miss Kroos," Bai Ye called out to the girl.

Kroos crawled out from under the car: "Just call me Kroos. I didn't expect you to get here so quickly?"

"Things went smoothly so far." Bai Ye had made an appointment through PRTS in advance to improve efficiency.

"Let me see... a 'silent squad,' an aircraft, various equipment and vehicles..."

Kroos's face showed a pained expression: "The project didn't have many treasures, and you took most of them this time..."

"Hehe." Bai Ye was a little embarrassed; he did indeed want quite a lot.

"If other departments cause trouble, it won't be easy to handle."

Bai Ye shook his head: "Actually, the only ones who need these equipment are combat operators and outsourced operators. There are relatively few frontline missions at the moment, most of them are small-scale local conflicts or security missions, so there is no need to use these equipment."

"Tsk tsk, it's not impossible to get the equipment, but you'll have to pay a maintenance fee." Kroos wiped the sweat dripping from her forehead. Her hands were still covered in engine oil, making her look disheveled, but the Blood Demon Girl didn't care at all.

Bai Ye readily agreed. Although the man in front of her was a notorious swindler on Rhodes Island, the current payment process was still in accordance with normal procedures and would eventually go into the department's budget, so it wasn't considered ripping people off.

"Use drones with care. This is the latest model, an exploration drone that is more efficient and safer, providing comprehensive support and protection for field operators."

As they talked, Kroos started advertising.

"Sorry, sorry, I've been using advertising slogans a lot lately, I just couldn't help myself..." the girl explained without changing her expression.

Bai Ye ignored Kroos's antics and then made his personal request: "I need the engineering department to build me a set of equipment."

"Hmm... The artisans in the workshop are all very skilled and should be happy to help, but you'll need to make an appointment and wait in line."

"I need it expedited, preferably by skipping the queue, because the mission is really urgent," Bai Ye said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Hmm... it's not impossible, but in that case, we probably won't have enough time to get the full set of equipment." Kroos flipped through the work logs of the workshops under the Engineering Department.

Bai Ye nodded: "Then let's just make weapons and staves."

"No problem, but you need to conduct a series of tests to collect data. For the staff, we also need the relevant parameters of Originium Arts from the caster operator."

As expected of the supervisor, the head of the engineering department even explains these minor details with great care.

"No problem." Bai Ye nodded.

To him, these were all minor matters.

His personal medical examination data already has a major problem and has been classified as encrypted content, so adding more data wouldn't matter.

Anyway, even if someone intentionally targets him, it doesn't matter. Bai Ye's personal attributes update very quickly. If someone really uses that data to target him, then he'll be in trouble. Outdated information can be fatal.

"By the way, Miss Kroos, could you please give me a list of workshop reservations?" Bai Ye asked finally.

Kroos said with a sigh, "Hey, I told you not to call me 'Miss.' We're all colleagues, can't we be more casual... The equipment commissioned by the operators is classified and can't be looked at casually. You need at least level 8 access."

"Yeah, all I need is the list of code names. I've cut in line, so I should at least tell them."

"I see." Kroos said with a blink, "That's no problem. By the way, how about I tell you some of their little hobbies so you can buy some small gifts for them?"

"No problem." Bai Ye readily agreed.

However, he later discovered that he had been scammed.

Purchasing items naturally takes place in the purchasing center and shops... The purchasing center is fine, but some special little items are only sold in Kroos's personal shop.

Keep in mind that her store's prices are 236% of the purchasing department's suggested retail price!

No wonder they're Rhodes Island's infamous shrewd merchants!

This guy, using his position as head of the purchasing department, procures all sorts of strange or rare goods from various places and then sells them in his own store. It's truly despicable...

Moreover, Bai Ye could only go to buy it with a forced smile; it would be quite impolite to go empty-handed.

Bai Ye still wanted to maintain good relationships with her colleagues.

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

"Tired to death..."

By evening, Bai Ye was exhausted when he returned to his dormitory.

In the afternoon, he first completed the physical data test and the Originium Arts test.

His theoretical knowledge of Originium Arts is very poor, but his adaptability is frighteningly high, and his awakened magical talent makes the caster operators exclaim that it is outrageous.

Even the part that has been revealed so far is already astonishing. Experts in Originium Arts research say that if Byakuya's talent is further developed and combined with enough Originium spellcasting units, it could theoretically trigger a natural disaster.

As for physical attributes, they are quite good. Although they may not be as good as some operators, they are well-rounded, possessing both physical strength and mobility, and are highly adaptable to extreme environments.

With this data, Bai Ye can have the engineering department create and modify new equipment and staffs for him.

In addition, Bai Ye also visited each of the operators who had been cut in line by him.

His inclusion on the expedited list will naturally delay the equipment crafting for some operators.

Carrying gifts purchased from unscrupulous merchants, Bai Ye traveled to almost every part of Rhodes Island, from the dormitory to the training ground, and even went to the offices of elite operators.

The process went smoothly; the Rhodes Island operators were all quite friendly and readily agreed to White Night's request.

This legendary new manager has become known to more people.

Chapter Thirteen: Games and Reality

(A heads-up: This chapter involves basic settings; please read the entire chapter before posting any discussion.)

……

After a busy afternoon, Bai Ye opened the door to her dormitory.

The electric door opened, and Bai Ye walked in, only to find that the room had already been renovated.

The logistics department was extremely efficient. In the morning, Bai Ye arranged the dormitory design and renovation plan on PRTS, and it was completed by the afternoon.

A robot vacuum cleaner is slowly strolling around the room.

The entire dormitory includes an integrated desk, kitchen, bedroom, and workspace.

The room's design is quite minimalist, but the walls feature expansive holographic displays that realistically simulate the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. PRTS automatically adjusted the view to a starry sky.

This is one of Baiye's few hobbies.

A refracting telescope sits in the "window." Although it's no longer possible to observe the stars on this land, Bai Ye still used his first paycheck to buy one of the few decorative items in the dormitory.

In a time when the night sky is becoming increasingly unpredictable, astronomical telescopes might actually be a good decorative item.

After taking off his supervisor's uniform and hanging it on a hanger, Bai Ye lay down on the sofa. The robot vacuum cleaner circled around his legs, running almost silently.

Bai Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

"I never imagined Huang's training was so terrifying..."

Can you imagine a woman carrying a chainsaw, her body steaming with heat, her soaked, revealing clothes clinging to her body, panting as she stands in front of you, the imposing presence of her ample bosom?

Anyway, Bai Ye felt it was quite arousing, but the chainsaw that Sister Huang was carrying was a bit intimidating.

She was the elite operator ahead of Bai Ye in line who needed her equipment modified, but Huang was quite outgoing and easy to talk to, so Bai Ye didn't have much trouble communicating with her. This woman readily agreed to Bai Ye's request to cut in line.

Putting aside the minor details, Bai Ye's plans are proceeding quite smoothly.

Bai Ye picked up a cup of tea, opened a medical book on his terminal, and began learning new skills.

This information was given to him by Miss Warfarin, the Blood Demon.

Only after completing the basics can one be qualified to study more advanced material and understand Warfarin's own notebooks.

You have obtained some information about basic medicine.

You have obtained some information about basic medicine.

You have obtained some information about basic medicine.

……

Although he couldn't understand it, or only vaguely understood it, Bai Ye still gritted his teeth and read it.

As the reading progressed further into the daytime, the relevant prompts on the game panel flashed three times.

After the last flash of the message, accompanied by a crisp and pleasant notification sound, Bai Ye finally received a skill learning prompt regarding basic medicine.

【Ding--】

[Skill detected - Basic Medicine (Theory)]

[Should I spend 1000 experience points to learn?]

The process is similar to that in previous games.

Bai Ye opened the game panel and naturally selected the confirmation option.

In an instant, Bai Ye fell into a daze. A massive flow of information, aided by experience points, flowed into the hippocampus and was then transformed into permanent memories.

The process was not painful; on the contrary, Bai Ye felt unusually relaxed as he gradually mastered the knowledge that he had previously found difficult to understand while reading.

After a while, Bai Ye opened his eyes.

On the game panel, the skill named [Basic Medicine (Theory) lv0] was prominently displayed on Bai Ye's skill list.

Forehead?

Ok? !

Bai Ye blinked, feeling like something was off.

After staring at the skill list for a long time, Bai Ye finally discovered the key point—he really had mastered medical knowledge!

Some might ask, what's so strange about that? Haven't they already learned the skills?

Actually, there are significant differences between them.

In his previous life as a player, Bai Ye had never truly mastered medical knowledge as he did now. The specific knowledge and memories about basic medicine had never been so clearly etched into Bai Ye's mind.

In layman's terms, when a player learns a skill, it is only the virtual character that learns the skill, not the player themselves.

For example, a player may have mastered the theory of Originium Arts and be able to control a virtual character to unleash Originium Arts, but in reality, he has no understanding of the theory of Originium Arts and cannot accurately state the specific points 1, 2, and 3.

No matter how high the skill level or how good the effect, the player still doesn't understand the obscure spell theories.

Unless players actually go through the entire textbook on Originium Arts in Letania—but how many people would have the time to do that?

Even if you memorize the content and can recite it, how can you control your virtual body to unleash Originium Arts? Even if it's touted as 100% realistic, there's still a significant difference between a virtual character's body and a real physical body.

The so-called transmission and flow of Originium Arts is something that players cannot experience.

Of course, some theoretical knowledge applicable to reality can still be grasped. For example, if a player has studied medicine or mechanical engineering in real life, that knowledge can be used in the game. Furthermore, if a player diligently reads relevant books in the game, they can even actually learn medical knowledge within the game!

However, very few players do this because learning is a painful and time-consuming process. Although reading theoretical knowledge can improve skill levels without spending experience, it still wastes a lot of time and is not worth it.
