He then left the underground level under the dumbfounded gaze of the logistics officers.

Another operator leaned over and asked, "How did he do that? I remember this vehicle was brand new before?"

"Heh, let's just get him a new car...who knows where he came from?" The logistics officer sighed and covered his forehead.

……

Soon, news of the field operations manager's return spread throughout Rhodes Island. Since the manager had only been in contact with the department once before, some even suspected that the department had been missing for so long and had already sent a package.

"This is too much!"

Bai Ye looked at his secretary with a wronged expression.

"...There's nothing we can do. It's your own fault for not contacting the base station to reach the messenger." The typist shrugged; she'd become even more capable in the two months since we last met.

"But I'm in the Ursus frozen tundra, and there's absolutely no base station I can use for communication." Bai Ye himself was at a loss.

As he ate his simple lunch, the girl reported on the work he had done while he was away.

"It seems that some people are not satisfied with the manager who is running around everywhere, and some even want to replace him with the old one."

After the typing girl finished speaking, she noticed that Bai Ye's expression did not change.

"Aren't you angry?" the girl asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Ha, why would I be angry? I never expected my speeches and charisma to win over the entire department." Bai Ye put down his sandwich. "This stuff is awful!"

"Um, this was a gift from a medical operator, and you just took it and ate it without even asking." The typist was speechless.

"Tsk, who did this? I feel like I'm eating grass!" Bai Ye sighed, then turned around and put his supervisor's uniform back on. "Gather some field agents and write down the names of those who have complained before."

"..." The typist thought to herself, "This guy really does hold grudges!"

Chapter Fifty-Two: There are always creatures on earth...

The previous field supervisor was a very nice person who was always polite to all colleagues. The sudden arrival of a strong-willed supervisor made everyone a little unaccustomed to it.

However, none of this mattered to Bai Ye; all he could think about now was Lungmen and the players.

After making a trip to the engineering department to maintain his weapon "Arc Light," Bai Ye also took the opportunity to purchase a large number of equipment and weapons out of his own pocket.

At the same time, he downloaded a batch of combat records and teaching materials from the Rhodes Island database using his privileged access.

In this way, his personal shop finally looked somewhat presentable.

Previously, Bai Ye needed to use Rhodes Island's main body as a gimmick to fool people. If Dr. Kal'tsit found out, she would probably summon mon3tr on the spot.

These weapons are generally of low quality, mostly green with very few blue ones. However, for players who don't even have a single white weapon when the game first launches, these weapons are enough to make them drool.

"You bought so many weapons all at once?" This transaction naturally alarmed Kroos. She abandoned the snacks she had just opened, forgot about the TV and the air-conditioned room, and ran to Bai Ye to ask about the situation.

She even thought Bai Ye was going to start a war!

Rhodes Island isn't an arms company, and it doesn't usually sell weapons. Bai Ye simply used his high-level privileges to purchase them directly from the system.

"Hmm... Anyway, the engineering department has so many prototype weapons they don't know what to do with, so why not give them to me? As for their purpose, I can't say for sure right now. I can only say that those who know, know." Bai Ye looked at the Rhodes Island standard-issue sword in his hand, as well as the higher-quality prototype weapons, and pondered how to price them.

“Ah Zhe…” Kroos was somewhat exasperated. This guy was always so secretive; it was impossible to guess his intentions. And yet, Dr. Kal'tsit had chosen him as the head of the field operations department…

Is it possible that Rhodes Island is full of Riddlers?

And Dr. Kal'tsit is the biggest riddle mastermind.

Just as Bai Ye and Kroos were locked in a stalemate, Bai Ye received a text message from the medical department on his personal terminal.

The sender was naturally Miss Warfarin, an acquaintance of Bai Ye's.

"Now that you're back, come to my office immediately!" by the adorable Miss Blood Demon

Bai Ye wasn't sure what was going on with that cutesy tone, but it didn't really matter, since he now had a convenient excuse to get away.

"Dr. Warfarin is looking for me, so I'll be going now—" Bai Ye waved to Kroos, "Ciao~"

"..." Kroos could only watch helplessly as White Night disappeared into the office.

……

In fact, Warfarin didn't have anything specific to ask Bai Ye; she just wanted to have her blood drawn. Bai Ye immediately had the idea of ​​purchasing a batch of regular drugs again.

However, there are no loopholes to exploit here like in the engineering department. According to Warfarin, any drug distribution in the medical department has necessary procedures to follow. If Bai Ye wants to apply for a large quantity of drugs, she needs to obtain permission from Dr. Kal'tsit, the head of the Rhodes Island medical department.

"Then I'll go see her later." Before leaving, Bai Ye had to see Dr. Kal'tsit one more time. In addition to reporting on his work, he also had to handle matters related to the Reunion Movement.

Previously, Bai Ye acted as a third-party intermediary to facilitate the Reunion Movement. Afterwards, Rhodes Island's drugs would pass through his company before being delivered to the Reunion Movement.

This matter still needs to be negotiated and a contract signed by Rhodes Island.

In addition, Bai Ye also needs to explain Misha's situation.

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

When Bai Ye entered Dr. Kal'tsit's office, she was examining Amiya.

Is there anything unusual about the ring?

Dr. Kal'tsit held Amiya's hands and examined the rings on her fingers.

Bai Ye wasn't quite sure what the ring's function was, but based on the speculation from the Valletta Society in his previous life, this ring might be related to the power sealed within Amiya's body.

"Hmm, I'm fine." Amiya shook her head, then turned to look at Bai Ye standing at the door.

Looking at the petite girl, Bai Ye felt a pang of pity. This was the cruel reality of the world. This child was only 14 years old, yet she had become the public leader of an organization.

Not only that, she also had to go to the front lines and battlefields herself... There were more than one child like her on Rhodes Island.

Any person with a conscience on Earth would be outraged and moved upon seeing such a scene.

"It's alright." Amiya smiled and shook her head, seemingly sensing Bai Ye's emotional fluctuations.

Her ability to read emotions allowed her to naturally perceive Bai Ye's psychological changes.

"You really are a gentle child..." Bai Ye walked to the girl's side and patted her head.

“I’m not a child anymore!” Amiya muttered.

"Let's get down to business first." Bai Ye handed the report to Dr. Kal'tsit. Of course, he wouldn't say everything, but he still needed to clarify things related to Rhodes Island.

After all, both conventional drugs and Oripathy suppressants for infected individuals need to be provided by Rhodes Island.

"That child, is her name Misha?" Dr. Kal'tsit stared at the White Night report and the accompanying letter from Sergei, but did not open the envelope for a long time.

“Yes.” Bai Ye nodded. He had temporarily settled the girl in Rhodes Island’s visitor reception area.

"I'll arrange it." Dr. Kal'tsit put down the letter, rubbed her temples, and looked somewhat tired.

Seemingly noticing Bai Ye's confusion, Dr. Kal'tsit explained, "The blood sample you provided is very special... Through centrifuge analysis and research, we have made some preliminary results."

It seems that Dr. Kal'tsit has expended too much energy on this project over the past two months, so much so that she couldn't even suppress her drowsiness in front of Bai Ye.

“Perhaps you need to rest.” Bai Ye thought of the equally haggard Miss Blood Demon he had seen in Warfarin’s office, who had fallen asleep after he left.

“I still have a lot of things to take care of.” Dr. Kal’tsit shook her head.

However, the next moment, Bai Ye controlled his power and struck Dr. Kal'tsit on the neck with a palm strike at a speed imperceptible to the human eye.

"Take a nap first."

Just as Bai Ye was about to leave, he noticed that Dr. Kal'tsit was looking at him with an indescribable gaze.

“No need to come out, Mon3tor.” She was still saying things that Bai Ye couldn’t understand.

Where is Mon3tor?

However, what's even stranger is that Dr. Kal'tsit didn't lose consciousness?

"You didn't faint? I trust my technique." Bai Ye was confident in his ability to deliver a knockout blow. He'd learned it from a player called "Reincarnation Paradise"!

He practiced it 114514 times.

"Heh, that's quite a technique." Dr. Kal'tsit smiled, a rare occurrence, her lips curving into a barely perceptible smile. "Unfortunately, my body cannot be stunned by ordinary physical means."

"I appreciate your kindness, but let's not do it again," Dr. Kal'tsit said, rubbing her neck.

Honestly, it actually felt quite nice when Bai Ye tapped it like that.

……

'monster……'

So, Dr. Kal'tsit isn't exactly a normal person after all.

"Akunaichi!"

Countless players were struck by the inexplicably adorable low Gothic language, wondering which NPC had been dragged over and forced to perform...

Set a nickname, customize your character's appearance, choose your race, select your spawn point...

Most players had already read the guides or watched the live stream recordings of the public beta, so they didn't waste too much time on this part.

As mentioned before, apart from the Dulin, the other races do not have any differences in attributes or specializations; their appearances are simply altered.

The purpose was to make players stand out on Terra, out of place with the natives, and thus be regarded as heretics—however, in reality, players are distinguished more by their strange behavior.

After the initialization process was completed, a soft light flashed, and when the players opened their eyes again, they found themselves in the game.

Most players were so immersed in the realistic gaming experience that they almost thought they had actually traveled to another world if it weren't for the game system.

"Still can't take off your pants? Thumbs down." The "pants-off" party hasn't given up.

"Wow, this is amazing! Who am I? Where am I... Oh my god, what an ugly face! Bro, how did you create this face?" He was probably scared by the ancient god-like appearance next to him.

"Jump! Mom, I finally have knees!" The pathetic undead man was overjoyed.

……

A very small number of veteran players easily checked the public beta accounts they had inherited. The 4000 players were scattered across various spawn points around the world, blending in with countless new players and appearing quite inconspicuous.

As stated in the official announcement, previously acquired LMD, weapons, levels, and skills have been reset, but NPC relationships have been retained. As compensation, each player in the open beta received a special title and a small accessory.

【pioneer】

This is an extremely special accessory, obtainable only by players during the open beta and untradeable. Its effect is to slightly increase the initial favorability of some NPCs.

While a small number of players expressed dissatisfaction with the official decision, feeling it was unfair that all their hard-earned LMD and experience points went to waste, the majority of players said they could understand.

……

Bai Ye jumped off the vehicle.

He squinted at the town not far away.

This place is near Longmen and is a relatively prosperous settlement near the Longmen shipping route.

In Terra, not everyone lives in the mobile city.

People have built farmland and towns around mobile cities, and some areas are even more prosperous than the mobile cities themselves.

Only when a natural disaster strikes will these people evacuate to mobile cities to escape the catastrophe.

"What's going on... This isn't Lungmen?"
