Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Bai Ye waved to Ifrit.

"What...what are you going to do!" Ifrit looked at Bai Ye warily, but her expression slowly softened.

Upon their first meeting, Bai Ye's naturally approachable nature made it difficult for Ifrit to feel any negative emotions of hostility or hatred.

Even the other consciousness within her body became unusually quiet and obedient, unlike its usual self.

Of course, Bai Ye's ability, which in some ways has reached its peak, is not omnipotent. If the negative emotions in one's heart are overwhelming enough, they will overwhelm the natural goodwill.

"It's late, don't shout in the hallway," Bai Ye said as she opened the door.

Ifrit tilted her head; she could tell that Bai Ye seemed to be inviting her inside.

What a strange person.

However, being perceptive, she did not sense any malice from Bai Ye.

"So mysterious..." Ifrit muttered to herself as she kicked open the door.

"Shhh."

Bai Ye shook his head, then pointed to Hemer sitting on the sofa.

"Hermer!...Ah..." Ifrit's eyes lit up and she quickly ran over.

"She's asleep," Bai Ye said softly.

“She’s tired…” Ifrit also lowered her voice instinctively, “Her usually works very late at night…”

Bai Ye nodded. The race to which Hermer belonged had a sleep-wake cycle that was the opposite of others. However, judging from Hermer's hurried departure this morning, it was clear that Hermer hadn't slept during the day.

“Hmm…Hmm…”

Perhaps because the two were talking too loudly, or perhaps because they weren't fully asleep, Hermer woke up quickly.

Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Ifrit standing in front of her.

"How long have I been asleep..." Hamer hurriedly stood up from the sofa. The atmosphere here at Bai Ye was too comfortable, which made her unconsciously relax her guard and fall asleep on the sofa.

What a shame!

Hamer felt her face burning.

"We'll be going now, Mr. Bai Ye. Please tell me your terminal communication number."

Himer quickly exchanged terminal numbers with White Night, then grabbed Ifrit and fled as if they were running away.

"..." Bai Ye opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't stop them.

"We haven't said anything yet..." he said, somewhat speechless. "There's still a second cup of tea..."

Bai Ye entertained two guests today and brewed two cups of tea.

However, neither of them touched the tea he had brewed, so he had to fend for himself...

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

Perhaps he really had a connection with tea recently, because the next day, Bai Ye received an encrypted communication from Dr. Kal'tsit, inviting him to her office for "tea".

Of course, this was just Bai Ye's imagination; Dr. Kal'tsit had only called him to her office for a meeting. However, Bai Ye had a feeling that the old woman Kal'tsit seemed to have ill intentions.

After packing his things, Bai Ye handed the task over to the Typing Girl and then ran towards Dr. Kal'tsit's office.

"Please insert a coin."

Outside Dr. Kal'tsit's office stood a strangely shaped gashapon machine. It seemed to only move when Bai Ye inserted a coin into the machine. Bai Ye was speechless. He reached out and pushed it aside, then knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Dr. Kal'tsit's voice came from inside the office, no different from usual.

Bai Ye opened the electric door and went inside.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, there's a gashapon machine outside."

"Don't worry about it, it's not important. It was just a joke by Kal'tsit," Dr. Kal'tsit replied expressionlessly, then pointed to the chair that had been placed opposite her. "Please sit down."

This wasn't Bai Ye's first time in the office, and every time she came, she felt the atmosphere was quite heavy.

Dr. Kal'tsit was not a kind person; she always hid her expression behind an indifferent face, making her difficult to read.

Bai Ye wasn't even sure if his affable aura had worked on the woman.

Dr. Kal'tsit didn't know how to make tea, so after Bai Ye sat down, she went straight to the point: "I approved your plan, but I want to talk to you in person."

"Please speak." Bai Ye nodded.

"What exactly do you want to do? How much do you know about the frozen tundra of Ursus?" Dr. Kal'tsit stared at White Night. "I can sense a clear purpose in your plan."

Bai Ye didn't care about Dr. Kal'tsit's gaze, or rather, he had long been used to this kind of pressure-inducing stare.

“Yes, I have a lot to do,” Bai Ye said frankly. “First, someone asked me to go to Ursus to find someone.”

"I have received intelligence that the last bloodline of the Red Dragon is now stranded in the land of Ursus."

"I suspect that only endless frozen soil could contain a descendant of a red dragon."

The information naturally came from Chen Huijie, but Old Chen didn't actually know much. However, after she told Bai Ye that name, Bai Ye realized that he might know more.

The memories from my past life finally came in handy.

He wanted to go to the Ice Plains to see the dungeon bosses he had faced in the past.

"This is your private matter... However, I want to remind you not to do anything that would harm Rhodes Island." After a moment of silence, to Bai Ye's surprise, Dr. Kal'tsit did not ask any further questions.

Bai Ye couldn't figure out what the young-looking woman in front of him was thinking.

“I will arrange an assistant for you. Ursus is too dangerous, and I don’t want Rhodes Island’s new director to lose his life there in vain,” Dr. Kal’tsit continued.

Bai Ye blinked. Such a good thing?

"Could they be elite operators from Rhodes Island? Logos? ACE? Blaze? Scout? Or Outcast?" Bai Ye rattled off the names with ease. "Could they be here to spy on me?"

"Heh...none of those." Dr. Kal'tsit sneered, feeling that Bai Ye was dreaming.

Elite operators are not deployed casually, and even when they are on missions, they mostly operate in small teams.

"Don't overthink it, just do what you need to do," Dr. Kal'tsit advised. "She will accompany you when you go."

"Thank you very much then." Bai Ye readily agreed.

"Remember, do not do anything that would harm Rhodes Island," Dr. Kal'tsit warned again at the end.

"I understand, Dr. Kal'tsit. In any case, our goals are the same; we are all working for this land."

The password is correct.

Dr. Kal'tsit nodded: "I hope so."

'This shows how little trust they have in me...'

As Bai Ye left Dr. Kal'tsit's office, she pondered her attitude.

Perhaps she already knows something. She knows more than I do.

She knew what Ursus had.

Chapter Seventeen Separation of Man and Ship

Bai Ye had no idea how incredible Dr. Kal'tsit's past was. If he knew that Dr. Kal'tsit had been a scientist in Ursus, taught students, researched previous technologies, planned the assassination of the Grand Duke, and buried people... he might have felt awe towards Dr. Kal'tsit.

Yes, there will be a tiny bit.

Unfortunately, he didn't know.

Therefore, in Bai Ye's view, this mysterious woman was too enigmatic, knowing something but unwilling to say it.

However, he was quite curious about who the operative would be accompanying him to Ursus.

There aren't many operators from Ursus on Rhodes Island.

Bai Ye couldn't fathom Dr. Kal'tsit's thoughts.

However, he also sensed that his privileges within Rhodes Island seemed somewhat excessive. Bai Ye had initially thought the proposal wouldn't be easily approved, but Dr. Kal'tsit had granted him considerable authority.

Other departments are also cooperating with the field operations department's plan, and the allocation of various supplies has not been neglected.

"This preferential treatment is a bit too much." Bai Ye shook his head, not wanting to think about it further, and instead opened the terminal.

He finally received an urgent telegram from Lungmen and made contact with Miss Swire.

It is not simply a two-way communication between messengers.

Miss Swire found a more efficient method: using a signal transmitter, she found a valid port, performed a secondary transmission, and then erased the traces until it reached the target port.

Finally, the telegram was delivered to Bai Ye by a messenger inside the base station.

Most countries' military transmitting equipment does not possess this level of technology.

Bai Ye had no idea how this young lady had acquired such advanced communication technology.

The cost is just too high.

Bai Ye went to his office and then patiently read through Swire's letter.

She brought good news: "Northern Cross" has registered a logistics company. Although it has not recruited many employees, the basic framework has been completed.

At the same time, she drafted a contract for White Night regarding cooperation between Northern Cross and Rhodes Island. White Night and Swire envisioned that Northern Cross should ideally utilize Rhodes Island's well-established and comprehensive office system.

Northern Cross can provide Rhodes Island with better messenger logistics services through its player base.

In this way, Rhodes Island's own messengers can carry out more confidential and complex tasks.

"Wow, that's amazing..." Bai Ye looked at the message sent by Miss Swire and couldn't help but admire the young lady's abilities.

She is indeed very good at these things.

However, Swire also complained in his letters.

We don't have enough money.

Yes, even with Swire's assets, doing these things would be a drop in the ocean.

She is prepared to sell her shares in Victoria, as well as her properties in Colombia, and she even wants to deal with part of her mining assets in Rembiton.

Of course, she had already disposed of some of her other assets.

Bai Ye was deeply moved. This was a testament to her trust in him; Miss Swire believed in him implicitly, even before seeing any return, she was already pouring her own money into this deep pit.

Bai Ye felt the weight on his shoulders.

"What a silly girl, we haven't even known each other for very long..."

As Bai Ye shook his head, he wrote a letter in reply to Shi Huaiya, advising the girl not to waste long-term benefits for the sake of immediate losses.

White Nights still wants Swire to retain its mining assets in Rembitox; who knows, one day we might even unearth a Rhodes Island ourselves...

"Bread will come, and money will come too. Also, please give my regards to Ms. Chen Huijie. I've already begun investigating her old friend's matter; please be patient..."

After writing the letter, Bai Ye used an encryption tool to convert it into gibberish before handing it over to the messenger.

With his eyes closed, Bai Ye began to rethink the flaws in his previous plan.

Swire advised him not to take too big a step at the beginning.

First, establish a solid foundation. If you try to expand in all directions at the same time, you may end up neglecting one thing and facing a dilemma.

Bai Ye naturally understood this principle, but Rhodes Island's layout and his own businesses were unrelated. Rhodes Island's offices already had a certain foundation, and they were more like charitable organizations, not directly affecting any particular interest, nor attracting much attention.

However, some parts can be slightly modified.

……

Over the next period of time, Bai Ye gradually began to get used to life on Rhodes Island.

By working during the day and sharing some of her work experiences with the Typing Girl, Bai Ye clearly intends to hand over some of her work to this reliable Lateran girl after leaving Rhodes Island.

In the afternoon, Bai Ye would go to the training room to hone his skills. His unarmed combat skills were already close to mastery, and his swordsmanship would reach expert level after he developed a swordsmanship philosophy that suited him.

Of course, the biggest gain was based on the development of his magical talent.

Rhodes Island's sorcerer department is very interested in Byakuya's Originium Arts. As a result, the researchers will assist Byakuya in developing Originium Arts, and Byakuya will also cooperate with the researchers to conduct a series of tests.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye's magical talent doesn't actually have much to do with Originium. Despite the smooth progress of development, Bai Ye's [Originium Arts Theory] skill only improved slightly.

Even so, Bai Ye was still very satisfied. The improvement he gained from discussing with the researchers in the sorcerer department was far greater than what he could achieve by reading the basic textbooks himself.

Besides work and training, Baiye also has to deal with the clingy Blood Demon Miss at the medical department.
