Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Sarkaz?"

Demon mercenaries.

Despite his wandering thoughts, Bai Ye did not stop his slaughtering actions.

With a light touch of her toes, Bai Ye glided through the low sky like a seagull, then snapped her fingers.

A sharp, explosive sound rang in the ears of the Sarkaz mercenaries, who were clad in heavy armor and had thick skin, and immediately screamed in pain.

Blood flowed from their ears.

Bai Ye then activated the Originium Arts array on "Arc Light".

A powerful gust of air suddenly burst forth from the unsharpened side of the single-edged sword.

Using the propulsion of the jet engine, Bai Ye's body spun in the air, the tip of his sword drawing a dazzling arc.

A flash of light, and three heads, their expressions filled with pain, fell from their necks.

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Player's First Boss Battle

By eliminating both the boss and elite monsters in one fell swoop, Bai Ye deliberately left behind a Sarkaz mercenary.

Just then, the player's commander gathered a group of elite combat experts to take down the boss, so Bai Ye gave them the entire monster.

"Wow, that was dangerous! Luckily you came."

Bai Ye slowly wiped the blood off "Arc Light," then sheathed the sword and dusted off non-existent dust from his clothes.

"..."

The players all gave dead fish eyes, their faces full of black lines.

Just keep pretending.

Who didn't see you wreaking havoc behind the scenes before?

The corpses lying on the ground are all fake, right? You, on the other hand, don't have a single injury on you!

Bai Ye ignored the strange-looking player, as if he hadn't heard the complaints, and left the battlefield, leaving behind only a bewildered Sarkaz mercenary.

"This formidable opponent is now in your hands to deal with."

……

You just killed three such "powerful" opponents in one go, didn't you?

Despite its many flaws, the players had a lot of fun. Just like when you eat out, no matter how good the food is, you still have to finish with a bowl of plain noodles or fried rice, a battle for the players naturally ends with defeating the boss.

Players would feel bad if Bai Ye left nothing behind.

"T, hold aggro and prepare to DPS the boss." The person in charge of the boss fight was another player whom Bai Ye didn't recognize; he was probably a raid leader from some guild.

Although to Bai Ye, this Sarkaz mercenary was nothing more than someone who could be killed in one hit, in the eyes of novice players in the early stages, he was an absolute boss.

He possesses a physique far exceeding that of ordinary people, high defense, high attack, a giant sword with an extremely wide attack range, and can even use Originium Arts.

For players at this stage, it can indeed be considered the final boss.

The Sarkaz mercenary had no desire to fight these guys to the death. Now that the powerful figure seemed to be willing to let him go, he was only thinking about escaping.

However, Bai Ye casually waved his hand, and a wall of wind blocked his path. At the same time, a wind blade flashed and cut a deep gash on his right leg.

"Oh dear, I'm out of energy too~"

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he stopped making a move. He had done what an NPC should do and left the battlefield to the players.

A Sarkaz mercenary's experience is so-so, Bai Ye wouldn't even consider him worth it.

As long as there are players, he can continuously gain experience.

He's no longer the Bai Ye who used to bully thugs in the slums of Longmen!

"Damn it, how dare they play me like this..."

With his right leg severely injured, the wound was slow to heal and bleeding profusely. Knowing he could not escape, the Sarkaz mercenary simply picked up a weapon.

The Sarkaz mercenaries are like that: they value their lives and are greedy for money, but once they fall into danger, their Sarkaz bloodlust is ignited.

"You are weak and will be killed by me; it's a pity that the master's plan has failed."

The Sarkaz wielded his greatsword, creating a whistling wind in the air, and roared at the player, the sound waves vibrating through the air.

Only when facing the Sarkaz in person did players realize just how powerful the enemy truly was. The earlier, seemingly effortless battles fought by White Night were merely a visual illusion; it wasn't that the enemy was weak, but rather that White Night was far too strong.

"Control the situation first, our tank might not be able to withstand a single hit!"

Although the damage has not been tested, just looking at it makes it clear that the wielding giant sword could easily cleave a person in two.

"Maintain distance! Focus fire on the leg wound, Team 2, take control!"

Although players haven't yet encountered magic, they have already developed some methods to control enemies.

While T was distracting the enemy by banging his shield with his weapon, several players circled around behind the monster, poured fuel on him, and then threw their torches at him.

Instantly, the mercenary's body burst into flames. The enemy began to howl in agony.

"Yan Shang!"

"It's great!"

"That felt amazing!"

The players immediately became excited, muttering incomprehensible phrases. The boss battle before them was stimulating their nerves and sending their adrenaline soaring.

This is a realistic simulation of full-dive games, providing an immersive gaming experience.

The boss didn't panic, nor did it reach out to pat the flames off its body. Instead, it turned around and charged at the player who had set it on fire, just like a human torch.

A giant windmill flew by, and the two players, unable to dodge in time, were cut in half at the waist.

"Ouch, even 5% pain is unbearable!"

Although the player is still alive, their health bar is being cut off at an alarming rate, like a leaky pipe.

"Master, half of your buttocks is still in the back!"

"Damn it, I shouldn't have been so stubborn. I should have just switched to censorship mode..."

Some players who were disgusted quickly switched to "censored mode".

Yes, in order to promote green and civilized gaming, players can adjust whether the game is censored and the censorship level themselves, while streamers and video creators are required to enable at least medium censorship.

"What...what kind of strange things are you?"

This time, the Sarkaz mercenaries were dumbfounded. Based on past experience, killing the weak in a bloody manner could intimidate their comrades.

This is why he endured the burning flames to forcibly kill the two.

However, these guys seemed a bit off; they even joked about their companion's death, showing no fear whatsoever.

What kind of monster is this? It's even more demonic than this Sarkaz!

"Group 1, take control!"

The commander took advantage of the moment when the enemy's movements were distorted due to the burning flames to regain control.

This time, the players threw out sand.

The target is the boss's eyes.

"Set 3, hook and lock!"

"Shoot, aim for the right leg."

"The rest of you, take advantage of the time while the crossbows are reloading to go up and provide additional firepower!"

"T makes a sound to attract attention!"

Enjoy the thrill of taunting, blinding, controlling, and dealing damage...

Although the players are still very weak, their techniques are exceptionally skillful.

Bai Ye knew she didn't need to watch any further.

It's all over.

With his legs grappled by hooks, his body charred, and his eyes temporarily blinded, the pitiful Sarkaz mercenary killed three more men in despair, only to be hacked to death by the remaining players, finally ending this extremely painful battle.

"We've secured the first kill on the story boss!"

The excited players began to deal with the corpses in front of them, while the dead players could only stare at the gray screen and complain about the boss's attacks and strength in the chat.

"Are all the people in Terra this freakish? They sent me flying this far with just one punch!"

"Look at the giant swords in the hands of the captain and the others. It takes a person a lot of effort to lift them, but that monstrous guy can swing them around at will."

"This boss's weapon is way too heavy. Is it even wielded by humans? With our strength, we definitely can't use it for the time being."

The players began sorting through their loot, examining the boss's drops—a greatsword, a tattered suit of armor, and a corpse.

In addition, they looted the rioters' vehicles, almost completely dismantling those poor cars, before leaving satisfied.

……

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield, players are steadily gaining an advantage.

Because of their sheer number, even as people died, the remaining members were still able to cooperate with the militia to kill the enemy.

The most elite players were assigned to handle the boss, while the weaker players stayed behind to deal damage to the smaller monsters. The commander's arrangement was very effective.

After the last thug fell, the players looked around with their weapons in hand, only to realize that the mission was over.

The town mayor and the militia captain looked at the players fighting alongside them with complex and admiring eyes, and they couldn't help but exclaim, "We have never seen such brave and loyal warriors."

Yes, although these guys are all strange and hard to understand, none of them back down when facing the enemy. Even if their comrades die, they will fill the gap without hesitation.

Their eyes were filled with hunger for the enemy, and they even wanted to take on the militia's target.

What an amazing oddball...

But even stranger things were yet to come. At first, they didn't notice, until someone discovered that the corpses left behind after the players died would turn into points of light and disperse after a period of time, and even the bloodstains would disappear along with them.

Finally, when everyone started clearing the battlefield, they discovered that apart from the enemy corpses, there wasn't a single player's body on the ground.

That's a terrifying ghost story.

ZC and the commander weren't idle. After the story missions ended, they still needed to negotiate with the mayor to obtain ownership of the thugs' weapons before distributing them internally.

Players have long coveted the bandits' equipment, which includes not only swords, armor, and shields, but also ranged bows and crossbows, and even staves.

In addition, the treasures and money on the enemies are also objects of contention among players. In order to prevent the fight for equipment after PVE from turning into a large-scale, brutal PVP between players, the ZC and other high-level officials must handle this matter properly.

Fortunately, there are many star players and well-known streamers here, so the credibility is quite high. Ordinary players are also willing to follow the arrangements of these big names.

Thus, a crisis was averted. Otherwise, these players would have put on a farce in front of the Terran natives, the players who were just moments before fighting bravely to protect their homeland would have ended up fighting over some weapons...

Bai Ye had no interest in understanding how players distributed loot; he had experienced almost all of them in his previous life—distribution based on contribution, rolling for loot, distribution based on need, and even the raid leader taking all the gear…

Bai Ye remembers a famous streamer in an old online game who repeatedly stole equipment. Even after others left the group, he kept arguing, and in the end, he was hunted down by players from both factions and became a pariah.

That was the first time since the server opened that the two factions had been so united and harmonious, even entering each other's main city.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Sharpening the Knife for the Leeks

Bai Ye returned to his camp to rest, preparing to formulate his next plan. Staying with the players in the newbie camp was clearly a waste of time; he needed to guide them towards the next step.

This time, he will guide players down a completely different path from his previous life, and the fate of some players may be rewritten.

……

Players from the "Fifth Investigation Team" shared the process and videos of this mission on game forums and video websites.

Of course, these are all ordinary players, while well-known streamers will naturally edit and segment the footage of this mission. Their videos will be of much higher quality.

In any case, Bai Ye has once again made a splash in front of the players.

They gave everyone an insane speed boost at the start, then rushed to the enemy side and wiped out the bandit leader in one fell swoop. They even started putting on an act at the end...

All sorts of outrageous actions have drawn a lot of complaints from players.
