Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Something like a satellite city?"

"What should we do next? Should we go to Lungmen first?"

Clearly, the change in spawn point has left players completely bewildered. Even those who participated in the open beta are somewhat at a loss.

These players who chose Lungmen as their starting point in the public beta test clearly had a plan in place; once they logged in, they immediately went to find the NPC Baiye to accept the quest.

Some players still kept the business cards that Bai Ye gave them.

However, the situation is quite different now; they don't even know where they are.

"Where did you brave and resilient men come from?"

The tranquility of the town was shattered by the players, who startled the residents and the mayor.

Although players are initially very weak, with all starting attributes at 10 points and no skills or weapons, the sheer number of players makes it visually appealing.

"Fellow villager, don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

"Village chief, is there any task? Let me kill a chicken first!"

You dare kill a chicken in a video game?

"Ugh...ahh ...

The players quickly surrounded the mayor, bombarding him with questions, leaving the mayor completely bewildered...

It was like being swarmed by countless flies, and some strange-looking creatures were rolling and jumping around on the ground. They were speaking strange words and phrases, which was really hard to bear.

"quiet!"

The town's militia arrived quickly, and one of them raised his staff and fired a fireball into the sky. The fireball exploded and finally startled the player.

"Send a messenger immediately! Make contact with Lungmen, we need support... A large number of refugees have suddenly appeared."

The town mayor was quite capable; he quickly calmed down.

This happened almost simultaneously around the world, marking the first contact between the player community and the Terra civilization.

In Victoria, players who landed in the outlying towns quickly accepted quests arranged by the local minor nobles.

In Letania, some players attempted to break into residents' homes but were harmed by magic and forced to flee in panic.

Players landing in Colombia are relatively more likely to receive missions because the Colombian government encourages anyone to explore the frontier, which represents countless opportunities and missions.

As for the players who landed in Ursus, they blended in with the local inhabitants. Yes, the Ursus people are all tough and fierce, and they aren't afraid of a large number of players. As a result, the players became much more peaceful, and the two sides were able to communicate.

All sorts of bizarre, cruel, and interesting things are happening all over the world, and the players create a shocking effect as soon as they appear.

This is just the beginning.

In the future, all major political entities will experience the uniqueness, instability, and contradictions of the players.

……

Instead of appearing immediately in front of the players, Bai Ye achieved optical invisibility by distorting the air and refracting light. He moved through the town, checking the players' spawn points.

Only when players reach a certain number in an area and jointly spend Originium and experience points can a stable area be generated on the spot, with a crystal in the center that only players can see and destroy.

This is the player's spawn point. When a player dies, they can respawn from the crystal.

It's probably similar to the effect of spring water.

If the crystal is destroyed, players can only choose another crystal to revive. If this area is bound as the main city, players may not be able to revive even for a short period of time after the crystal is destroyed.

Logically speaking, Bai Ye, as a "native," should not be able to see crystals. However, for some reason, he was able to see the familiar azure crystals just like in his previous life.

"interesting."

Bai Ye attributed all of this to his NPC panel.

With the player logging in, his NPC panel finally had a purpose.

The goodwill he had previously built with the player was reloaded on the panel, and a waterfall of data flashed before Bai Ye's eyes.

"Something feels off..." Bai Ye looked at the favorability rating that he could control with his own will, and felt that if the system knew about this, it would definitely be furious with him.

PS1: Book Recommendation: "After Becoming a Young Lady"

What happens when you become a young lady?

Huh? Getting married? No way!

Of course, it's all about happily buying a bunch of games and having a blast!

Hey bro, wanna play games together? I have a mature, sweet voice! *sobs*

Hey girl, look, I'm a girl too! How about we get a spa treatment together? It's on me!

Hey silly group members, here's a picture of me in women's clothing. Use it to put pressure on other group owners!

Cuteness is justice; good looks have become the ultimate truth.

Sometimes I marvel at how forgiving the world is towards someone as beautiful as me...

Note: This book is also known as "A Few Things About My Family Business That Everyone in the World Knows But That I Didn't Know".

……

This book's word count truly surprised me; it's incredibly long, and Otter's typing speed is amazing. I wonder how many cat biscuits it would take to subscribe to the whole thing.

Chapter 54 We are game players

"what happened?"

The militia captain, weapon in hand, watched warily as the oddly shaped players gathered together, his brow furrowed.

"Has any nearby city been hit by a natural disaster?" The town mayor was also a little unsure. These guys don't look like disaster victims at all; look how happy they are.

"They're dressed so lightly... These guys look so poor." The militia captain looked at the poorly dressed players with great interest; he had never seen so many refugees before.

……

"Why are we being punished by standing here?" Some players were unhappy. This game didn't even have a starting area, and the mayor was so wary of players. Shouldn't they be warmly welcoming players according to the usual routine?

This reaction is so real!

At that moment, all the crystals began to resonate in a way that only the players could perceive.

Immediately, a new player tutorial quest popped up on each player's personal game panel:

Try to integrate into this world as much as possible.

……

Integrating into the world is a very general term, but players generally understand the meaning, since the NPCs here don't seem to accept them very well right now. They need to find a way to gain their trust before they can accept quests.

Suddenly, a player stepped out from the crowd, with the nickname "ZC" above his head.

This player was a beta tester and had some understanding of the game's lore. Moreover, he was quite eloquent and persuasive, so he volunteered to communicate with the mayor.

"Who are you...?" The militiamen, fearing that ZC might suddenly attack and hurt them, quickly raised their weapons.

"Gentlemen, these weapons are unpleasant to discuss. Let's put them down and talk things over." ZC calmly cupped his hands in greeting. After all, he was a new player who had just joined the server and had nothing. Dying and resurrecting wouldn't be a big deal. At most, he would be weakened for a while and his experience gain would be halved. He wasn't worried or afraid.

If you die, just die.

"So there are still people who can communicate normally..." the mayor couldn't help but complain.

There were so many strange-looking people, but finally one who could talk came out.

"We are originally residents of... the Eastern City of the Great Tang Dynasty. Due to natural disasters, we have had to travel a long way to reach your esteemed place. We hope you will take good care of us." ZC was getting into the swing of things and had a deep understanding of the essence of role-playing.

Although I don't quite understand where "Eastern Land of the Great Tang" is, at least the identities of these people can be confirmed. Just as the town mayor had predicted, they are refugees.

“Brave warrior, our town has limited open space and resources, and your numbers are too large, so it is really inconvenient to accommodate you.” The town mayor said with some difficulty.

He only hoped that the messenger could deliver the message to Lungmen as soon as possible so that they could handle the refugee problem there.

"We can help you with the work."

"Um, this..."

"I can do any kind of rough or odd job, for just a little pay," ZC pressed on relentlessly.

"Don't make noise, don't fight, we will arrange work for you and pay you."

With some skepticism, the mayor had a sudden inspiration and assigned the chores here to the players.

"You, go and cut down trees. We need logs to build houses."

"There's a quarry nearby, please help our workers dig for stones."

"Hmm...this young lady is quite pretty; she works as a waitress at the tavern."

“A lot of infected creatures have recently come to this area, and some are still building nests. We need manpower to clean it up.”

"There's a gang of bandits nearby... Never mind, you guys are too weak." Clearly, the militia captain's task is not suitable for newbies.

Seeing this, the players gradually got into the swing of things. It seemed this was a starting area, with plenty of quests available. Even when other tasks were full, they could still go out into the wild to clear infected creatures.

Isn't this just like grinding for monsters?

Although monsters don't keep respawning, the number of infected creatures is still quite large.

Players who participated in the open beta finally understood the significance of adjusting the spawn point.

They were originally outside the city during the public beta, but were brought into the mobile city from the very beginning.

Apart from the slums in the lower city, there are almost no other places to receive quests, leaving players to wander around the city like headless flies.

There are clearly many quests available here now, and you can also grind monsters and level up in the wild, which is really friendly to newbies.

"Looks like our experience is useless for now." The veteran players who had already experienced the game exchanged smiles.

They also need to start accumulating knowledge and learning again.

The experience gained from the public beta test can only be used next time.

"Thank you, ZC." Everyone expressed their gratitude to ZC for stepping forward, and many players added him as a friend.

'Perhaps I could become a strategy guide content creator?' ZC pondered.

With the current explosive popularity of "Arknights Online", many players have taken the opportunity to start live streaming, and some have even become famous overnight. ZC is no exception and had the idea of ​​making strategy videos.

……

The players got busy.

"These NPCs are amazing! Their expressions are so vivid, they're practically indistinguishable from real people..." Many players noticed the overly realistic NPCs.

"The village chief's reaction is so realistic, amazing..." Players were surprised by the design of the beginner village. They wondered if the game company was afraid of going too far, as the guidance was so weak.

"Wow! Animal-eared girls! Cat-eared lolis! Is this paradise?" Even though they themselves had become animal-eared girls and had created very well-shaped ones, these guys still couldn't contain their excitement when they saw the NPCs.

"Stop looking at the animal-eared girls, hurry up and accept the mission, this is your first pot of gold."

……

While fooling around, the players embarked on the arduous task of doing odd jobs.

This is the current situation for players after the server launches; it's pretty much the same all over the world.

Soon, the players displayed amazing qualities.

The mayor's jaw nearly dropped as he watched the players tirelessly accepting quests and vying to do odd jobs.

"Who are these people...? They're so hardworking. They'll do any kind of chores..."

"He's just a bit unreliable..." The militia captain clicked his tongue in amazement.

He had never seen such cheerful and energetic refugees.

"What a formidable person! Only true warriors dare to face the bleakness of life and the dripping blood." Clearly, these people have misunderstood something...

There are no suffering refugees, only a group of free-spirited players with boundless energy to spare, eager to level up, and fond of having fun.

So-called diligence is nothing more than being willing to grind. As long as you give me tasks, even if there's no money, as long as the system recognizes it and I get experience, I can grind like crazy!

Bai Ye stood quietly on the high ground, watching the busy players.

He has already made the arrangements.

As these players grow, they will be able to experience an even more wonderful gaming experience by following his guidance.
