Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Therefore, Platinum has no right to refuse.

"Verification complete... No errors."

"Very good, don't let us down."

……

This was originally Qingjin's job, and Qingjin would personally take charge of the highest priority task. However, this time, Qingjin delegated the task to Baijin.

After the spokesperson finished the call, Qingjin also connected with Baijin:

"It's not a difficult task. The other party is just a scholar who can't even kill a chicken. He's just a bit special because he's the owner of the Adventurers' Guild. Little Platinum, the instructions from above are very simple: don't kill anyone, teach him a lesson, and make him cooperate with us. I'll leave this small matter to you. We have other things to do."

The other party hung up the phone without waiting for Platinum's response.

Along with the mission, all the target's information was also handed over.

"what……"

"so tired……"

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

Bai Ye doesn't care who's watching him.

Business associations, the Unarmored Alliance... or some kind of supervisory council, it doesn't matter, anyway, Bai Ye just let them see what they wanted to see.

In short, everything went smoothly.

After shaking hands with Maria, Bai Ye once again activated the barrier that he had deliberately closed earlier.

Then, he nudged Melanie.

"From now on, this knight will fight alongside you."

Bai Ye introduced Melantha to Maria.

"Teacher, am I a knight too?" Melantha asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, when we brought you here this afternoon, didn't we already register you with the Supervisory Council? You've already registered as an independent knight, and you can participate in the Knights Major from now on."

As he spoke, Bai Ye reached out and tapped Melantha on both shoulders.

……

"Teacher...?" Maria repeated Melantha's earlier address to Bai Ye, somewhat puzzled.

“Yes, Melantha is my student.” Bai Ye nodded with a smile.

"Eh?!"

Maria originally thought that Bai Ye would arrange for her to be just any knight, but she did not expect that Bai Ye would actually send his student to participate in the Special Championship.

"Miss Maria, please take care of me." Melantha greeted her companions with impeccable manners.

Maria was somewhat taken aback by this Victorian aristocratic air. Although she was also considered a noblewoman, the rules weren't nearly as strict.

"Don't be so reserved, relax." Bai Ye told the introverted Melantha not to be too nervous, then turned to Zofia and said:

"Let the children explore and interact on their own... I need to go back and prepare materials for tomorrow."

"it is good."

Zofia nodded, then led Bai Ye to the door of the room that had been arranged for them.

……

Bai Ye came prepared, and he attached great importance to the Cavaliers Major organized by Kazimierz.

This is a natural platform and channel. If you want to create a PVP arena or professional league for players, you can achieve it directly through this platform without having to start from scratch.

Bai Ye's main task this time was to communicate with the organizers and facilitate this matter.

Chapter Thirteen: Power Armor is Also Armor

Bai Ye didn't actually know why the Kazimierz official team was involved in organizing player tournaments in the timeline before his travels, and it seemed that they didn't profit much from it, as the league was still controlled by player guilds and clubs.

In other words, the Players League merely borrowed the venue and stage of Kazimir, and was not subject to Kazimir's constraints or control.

Given the style of those business associations, they probably wouldn't allow commercial capital outside their control to appear on their territory.

Perhaps it was because Luna intervened?

This was the only reason Bai Ye could think of.

As a top-tier player, Bai Ye is well aware of the power of players. Currently, without the help of external forces, players on their own might indeed cause trouble for a country, but they are not enough to deter Kazimir from making any move.

In other words, while they might be wary, they wouldn't remain inactive from the start. However, Bai Ye had never heard of any player being threatened or any match being interfered with by unknown individuals.

From the first player league to the regular PVP arena events, everything went smoothly.

There's only one explanation for this: Luna got involved.

Luna's interference in the other dimension's Terra continent is limited, which is why she sent Baiye there. If she could have an inside man acting as a GM and planner, it would save her a lot of trouble and allow her to focus on other things.

……

At dawn, Bai Ye opened her eyes.

A puddle of seawater appeared in Bai Ye's palm. He clenched his fist, and water droplets slowly dripped down from between his fists.

For some reason, every time Bai Ye had close contact with the Deep Sea Hunter and they got to know each other deeply, he would enter Isamara's dream.

Looking at his arm, Bai Ye fell into deep thought.

Although Luna's seal is absolutely safe, and Isamara has never behaved abnormally, it is human nature to be suspicious, and Byakuya is also worried that problems may arise.

For example, being attacked by the newborn.

Bai Ye had considered this issue before.

Luna had told him that humanity had been saved at the very beginning of its existence, and that for humanity to rely on non-human beings was tantamount to handing over its own destiny to them.

Bai Ye always kept this sentence in mind. Therefore, he never relied too much on the strength of his right arm.

But he had no choice. If there was anyone who could connect the land and the sea, the sea creatures and humanity, then that person could only be him.

Turning to look at Skadi and Laurentina, who were still fast asleep, Bai Ye gently got out of bed, covered them with the blankets, and then left the room.

……

The sounds of fighting came from the training ground of the manor. Bai Ye followed the sound and found that Maria and Zofia were training together, while Melantha was also starting her morning exercise.

"Teacher." Upon seeing Bai Ye, Melansha stopped what she was doing, turned around, and greeted him.

Bai Ye had said long ago that there was no need to be so reserved and to just relax, but Melantha still maintained a respectful attitude.

What a diligent and good child.

Then, Bai Ye walked over to Maria and Zofia and clapped his hands:

"Perhaps your combat training needs to be paused. According to the contract, Maria must wear the armor provided by our company during combat, so we need to conduct tests and adjustments in advance."

"If there are any adjustments needed, you can discuss them with Greta, who is also one of the designers of this power armor."

Bai Ye brought a complete set of maintenance equipment and engineers with him. If all else fails, he can travel back and forth between Kazimierz and Lungmen on the same day to report the problem to the professional team at the Lobotomy Institute.

“It’s alright, I know some very skilled old craftsmen, and I’m actually quite skilled myself,” Maria said with a smile.

"So I don't understand why you would participate in the Knights Tournament, when you haven't held a sword for years..." Zofia sighed and covered her face.

Well, Maria is different from her sister; she has absolutely no interest in fighting. She much prefers to stay in the workshop tinkering with various machines and forging equipment, working as a blacksmith.

So, in fact, she hadn't held a sword for a long time. The sword skills she had mastered were the basic skills that her grandfather had trained her with since she was a child. When her grandfather got old and no longer had the energy to supervise her, she let herself go.

“My sister is gone, and I want to protect this family in my own way…” Maria scratched her face and smiled a little embarrassedly, “I do regret it a bit. If I had known, I should have trained harder every day…”

Indeed, although she had received the training typical of knightly families since childhood and had a solid foundation, she had neglected it for several years and her movements had become somewhat rusty.

Maria has been exhausted from her aunt Zofia's grueling training these past few days. She couldn't adapt to the intensity of the battle at first and had to grit her teeth and persevere.

"Interesting. You prefer being a craftsman to being a knight?"

Bai Ye looked at the blonde knight princess in front of her with some curiosity.

Maria nodded.

"You'd love to come work for our Lobotomy Corporation and become an engineer if you have the opportunity."

Bai Ye recommended his company.

Newly established research institutes urgently need high-quality talent; it would be even better if the candidates were familiar and well-known. After all, that gives people a sense of security.

"Um... well, I'll consider it." Maria was a little unsure how to answer Bai Ye's question. This guy's thinking was just too unpredictable. The matter of the Arena Knights was still uncertain, so why was he suddenly talking about the future... Was he setting some kind of flag?

Wait a minute? Since my aunt has already made her sign the contract, it means she agreed to let me participate?!

"Hmph, now that you have backup, I feel a little more at ease. If you had gone into the competition like you were a few days ago, you probably wouldn't have made it past the first round. After these days of special training, you've made some progress, and with the support, you should be able to go up and give it a try."

"Yay!" Maria laughed.

"However, the previous agreement is not null and void yet, and our special training will continue. It's just that the second half of the course has been changed to powered armor operation training."

"Huh? Power armor? Wasn't it supposed to be armor?" Maria never expected that some rich fool would ask her to pilot a power armor.

"Hmph, power armor is definitely considered armor, so it's not a foul!"

I'm asking you, isn't that right?

Chapter Fourteen: I Know You're in a Hurry

After handing the power armor to Maria, Bai Ye left Zofia's manor. In any case, there should be no problem. At least Bai Ye noticed that Maria's eyes lit up when she saw the power armor, and she seemed to really like it.

With that in mind, Bai Ye was relieved.

Let the younger sister from the Lin Guang family help him sell the goods without worry. As for winning or losing? Bai Ye was very confident. After all, this was a power armor produced by Lobotomy Corporation, and its performance was 1000% of that of the Meshko Group.

Around 10 a.m., Bai Ye appeared in the center of the Great Knight Territory, in front of the headquarters building of the Commercial Federation.

This is a rather magnificent skyscraper. Considering that a city must move across the land at a certain speed, such a massive structure, under its own weight, is like a fragile block of tofu. And these skyscrapers are like glass jars placed on top of tofu.

However, the reality is that these tofu-like creatures carrying glass bottles speed across this land, using Originium technology they themselves don't understand, doing rather absurd things. Even people from a previous civilization would probably react with expressions of "old man, subway, cell phone."

The buildings on the mobile city are getting taller and taller, and Bai Ye is really curious whether the buildings will collapse when the city starts moving.

"Even people from the land have their merits." Laurentina still displays a rather arrogant attitude towards people from the land, of course, Bai Ye is an exception, although he should also be considered a land dweller?

Yes, this time it was Laurentina who accompanied Bai Ye to the Business Federation.

This time, the nun didn't wear a dress, but instead put on a smart suit uniform, looking tall and elegant, bringing an incredibly novel visual impact to Bai Ye, who was used to seeing Ghost Shark's usual appearance.

Gladys was left at the manor by White Night to assist Maria in testing the power armor. Skadi, on the other hand, was too loyal and rather simple-minded, making her unsuitable to be taken along.

Laurentina, on the other hand, is somewhat cunning and sharp-tongued, and more clever than Skadi, making her a perfect match for Bai Ye in completing missions.

These arrangements had already been finalized back in Rhodes Island, so Skadi wasn't particularly emotional. At this moment, she was probably sitting comfortably in Zofia's manor garden, enjoying some snacks.

As a bounty hunter, Skadi clearly endured a great deal of hardship when she roamed this land. Her strength allowed her to accomplish many things, but it couldn't conjure up delicious food in the wilderness. Wild game wasn't plentiful; most of the time she either went hungry or ate monotonous, dry rations.

Although Skadi didn't mind that hunters only ate to obtain energy, she was now gradually experiencing the joy that food brought.

I'll start eating as soon as I hear any noise!

That's probably what makes Skadi so innocent and naive; she's always easily satisfied.

……

"Thinking about her again?" Laurentina smiled and took Bai Ye's arm when she saw him looking a little dazed.

Her shapely body brushed against Bai Ye subtly, maintaining a delicate distance so that Bai Ye wouldn't fully grasp the weight of this precious fruit.

The ambiguous distance between them was indeed making Bai Ye's heart itch a little, and he couldn't help but complain:

"That's really unfair."

"Hmph, when you're out with a lady, please don't think about other ladies, okay?" Laurentina narrowed her eyes.

"it is good."

Bai Ye smiled and nodded, then stood in front of the Business Federation building.

Seeing this, Laurentina also stopped smiling and stood behind Bai Ye, looking every bit like a subordinate.

Bai Ye snapped his fingers, dissolving the wind barrier that had been attached to the two of them.
