Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

In his previous life, he was also one of these players, and he built his own wooden house by hand.

The player settlement here was not abandoned, but was preserved as an outpost camp until version 3. Later, due to a natural disaster, the players were forced to relocate, and the long-established camp was reduced to ruins.

In front of the camp, Bai Ye saw a sign that read "Terra Continent Fifth Survey Team".

"We are all from the Azure Star!"

"We are the White Wind of the New World!"

Players never miss out on using internet memes.

The game had just started and the number of logged-in players reached its peak, so when Bai Ye entered the camp, it was bustling with activity.

"The tree-cutting team is still short 3 people!"

"We're still two potatoes short of digging in the New World!"

"Let's team up to farm the bugs! We need two tanks!"

"This game doesn't have class divisions, only development preferences, so I'll just play as a tank for now!"

"Distribute weapons, high-quality spears, and system-certified basic equipment. Prices are negotiable; all you need are some materials!"

"Wei Tian, ​​zaima?"

"Damn, it's actually Xiao Qin... Our newbie village is full of hidden talents."

"The chairman is recording a live stream over there, can we go over and join in the fun!"

"My cat's lost again. Let's find a reliable guy to bring her back..."

……

Bai Ye nodded in satisfaction.

Because of its existence, many famous content creators, streamers, and even expert and star players have chosen Longmen as their spawn point, so the quality of players here is obviously much higher.

Even with the power of bloodline and the guidance of the spirit of infrastructure, building a camp of this scale in a short period of time clearly requires the coordination and planning of a command-type player.

The task of the commander is to allocate manpower, assign each person to a specific role, and allow players with special skills to utilize their expertise. Otherwise, players will only do their own thing or survive in small groups, making it impossible to reach a consensus and build a large settlement in a short period of time.

Bai Ye observed that, unlike in his previous life, the houses here were planned more scientifically, clearly not haphazardly placed. The roads had also been leveled, and ditches had been dug on both sides, making them appear very neat and orderly.

"Huh? That NPC..."

When Bai Ye appeared in the player camp wearing the well-made uniform of the Rhodes Island field operations department head, he was quickly recognized by the players.

After all, his clothes were the best, making him stand out among most players who wore cloth armor.

"I'm Chao, it's Bai Ye!"

"I'm super white!"

"Yay! Bai Ye is here!"

Players who had watched the streamer's videos or viewed the photos immediately recognized Bai Ye's identity.

Some newbies were completely bewildered. They followed the experienced players out, but they didn't know what had happened. They could only ask questions or type in the chat channel for clarification.

Bai Ye is so recognizable; how can an NPC be so handsome? The art team is truly amazing; they managed to bring out such charisma in the model.

Bai Ye looked very different from before; his supervisor uniform was quite impressive, clearly indicating he was a big shot.

At this moment, in the players' view, Bai Ye has the name "Bai Ye" above his head.

【白夜】(yellow name)

[Level: Unknown]

[Attribute: unknown]

[Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous]

"Holy crap, what level of NPC is this that he actually appeared in the newbie village?" The rows of question marks and the red danger level were all reminding the player, Bai Ye, of his extraordinary abilities.

"We actually saw the legendary White Night."

Players put down what they were doing and rushed towards Bai Ye's location.

Some rolled around the white night, while others jumped and hopped, creating a chaotic scene as if they were performing some kind of strange and indescribable ritual.

"Hey boss, do you remember me?" A player squeezed through and greeted Bai Ye.

"..." Bai Ye looked up and realized that this was the same [Azure Thunder] who had wanted him to step on it before.

This is an old acquaintance.

With a thought, Bai Ye opened the NPC panel.

Immediately, a notification appeared on the game panel of the player 【Azure Thunder】:

[Ding, Bai Ye's favorability towards you has increased by 1 point] (-1000000+1) (Cross out)

"Grass!"

Cang Lei was completely numb. This Bai Ye was so vengeful. He still remembered him. Although his favorability rating had increased, why did he still feel a sense of trepidation?

I have a feeling that the big shot has a hostile look in his eyes.

Boss, please stop with your magic. I'd rather have my favorability rating drop than increase it like this.

After dealing with the prankster player, Bai Ye began to observe the chives beside him.

In his eyes, all these players walking around, all these rolling figures, were just walking wallets and tools.

Players who had met Bai Ye before felt that he seemed even more unfathomable. He truly was the protagonist of this world; his growth rate was extraordinary, almost like he had a cheat code.

"Wow!! It's Boss Bai Ye!!"

The natural-looking streamer [Zhai Mao Bu Ge], who had gotten lost in the forest and was brought back, rushed over as soon as she saw Bai Ye.

"Long time no see... Hmm, you've neglected your training and even lost your weapon." In the game's lore, Bai Ye should have the highest favorability towards this player, so Bai Ye played the role of a dutiful NPC according to the lore.

"Wow, such an intelligent NPC! It can even access data from the public beta..." Bai Ye's reaction stunned the players once again.

"Hehe..." The otaku cat scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.

After all, to ensure fairness, all data of players in the public beta were cleared, leaving only things like favorability and faction relationships.

I never expected it to manifest in this way.

"Boss Bai Ye, where am I? Where am I?!"

"And I."

Players are great at having fun, and immediately started playing a fun guessing game with Bai Ye.

The scene was incredibly lively.

Chapter 61 This NPC, can he get along with 3/5?

"Everyone, it's been a long time." Bai Ye has been treated like a novelty by the players for so long, he can't just keep posing and pretending to be an expert, can he?

That would really make players think I'm an idiot.

Therefore, he began to communicate with the players in a "friendly" manner.

Using the NPC panel and player IDs, Bai Ye was able to recognize every player with whom he had previously established a trading relationship.

Looking around, a large portion of the players who had given him their business cards were still there.

“My friends, I witnessed your bravery last time in Lungmen,” Bai Ye said casually. “Therefore, I propose that we send Commander Chen from the Guard Bureau to support you.”

I'm so sorry, Chen Huijie, I really feel bad for taking all the credit for myself...

But I will not apologize!

"Achoo!" Not far away, Old Chen, who was talking with the town mayor, couldn't help but sneeze.

"I'm so happy to see you all again." Yes, I'm extremely happy. Who wouldn't like high-quality leeks that can self-water?

Bai Ye wore a kind, farmer-like smile.

However, players see this as an absolute Easter egg.

Especially for those who played during the open beta, these veteran players were even moved to tears.

"Boss Bai Ye, he really hasn't forgotten us!"

"Rem, family members, I thought I wouldn't get to see Boss Baiye again, but I didn't expect him to come in person!"

"Just for this reason, I'm a 100-year supporter of Byakuya."

"This NPC is someone I can befriend."

Even though players see Bai Ye as just a programmed NPC, his behavior of chasing after new players and taking care of them still deeply moves them.

Veteran players were worried about not being able to find Bai Ye and didn't know how to locate him, but now they don't have to worry anymore.

Anyone who has played games knows how much benefit a high-level NPC can bring to the player in the early stages of the game.

However, some astute players have developed concerns.

As we all know, Bai Ye is indeed a very useful NPC. He teaches skills and techniques and sells equipment. He can teach players skills from melee to ranged combat, so some players speculate that Bai Ye may be an all-around NPC with ridiculously high combat power.

But this isn't the open beta, where there are fewer people, more space, and more opportunities. This is the official version, everyone's poor, with only a tiny bit of experience in their experience bar and very few LMD (in-game currency).

After all, the tasks given by the town mayor are very low-level, and the rewards are only a pittance. Even the most hardworking person wouldn't have much savings at this point.

Players who have seen Baiye's personal shop before know that his goods are not cheap, and perhaps in the early stages—they don't seem to be of much use?

Bai Ye naturally knew what the players were thinking. Nostalgia was just icing on the cake; the most basic things needed to be guaranteed. Players were actually quite pragmatic; you had to meet their needs first before talking about beliefs, hopes, or emotions—only then would it be effective.

Otherwise, they'll just say "Oh, right, right," treating what you're saying as a background animation and skipping it with one click.

Bai Ye knew he needed to get some real substance out of the box.

Personal shops will not be opened for the time being. Harvesting the韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting new users) will not be done randomly. These players are like new seedlings that need watering and fertilizing to grow.

Bai Ye didn't care about those meager experience points and Lungmen Dollars at all.

This is why Bai Ye asked Chen Huijie for a lot of batons in advance; the weapons that their special inspection team couldn't use could be given to the players.

Looking at the players, Bai Ye said, "Commander Chen brought some inexpensive weapons and handed them over to me. If you need any, you can pick them up from me."

As Bai Ye spoke, he walked toward his vehicle parked outside the camp.

"Is he going to fire weapons?"

"Such a good thing? Is this a gift from Boss Bai Ye?"

"Oceancat is just for fun, the real Pharaoh is still the White Night Boss."

"Boss, you are awesome!"

The players were immediately delighted.

Although some skilled players have started crafting weapons and have done so quite well that they have received system certification, these handmade products are clearly inferior to industrially produced ones in terms of quality control and craftsmanship.

Isn't it a good thing to get free weapons?

……

The group followed Bai Ye to the vehicle, which had been maintained by the logistics personnel and looked brand new. If you didn't look closely, you could hardly tell that it had been pulled back from the frozen ground.

Bai Ye opened the trunk, and a box of Lungmen Guard Bureau standard batons appeared in front of the player.

"Those with combat specialties can claim it first." It's obviously impossible for everyone to have it right now, but not all players enjoy combat either.

Logistics, resource gathering, life skills, business...

Arknights Online is not limited to combat and confrontation; every player can find their own fun in it.

Therefore, the batons that Bai Ye brought might not be enough, but for this camp, it was actually enough to raise a group of decent combat personnel.

At this moment, a player stepped out from the crowd and greeted Bai Ye with a peculiar accent that included a trilled "r".

He then looked at the players who had gathered around and said, "I suggest that we prioritize meeting the needs of combat players."

"It's still quite dangerous around here. Combat players should prioritize protecting the safety of other players when they get weapons."

“ZC is right.”

"Why isn't the big shot performing stand-up comedy anymore?"

Where is my opening poem?
