Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Terra has countless amazing things, and LMD is absolutely essential if you want to develop a powerful player character.

However, he can't take advantage of players too much, otherwise players will complain about him, which would be counterproductive.

After some thought, Bai Ye set a relatively low price for the Originium Ore.

'You'll have to work for me to earn it back from now on!'

Bai Ye looked at the players with a vicious glint in his eyes.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Praise of the Sun

"As expected, Baiye will sell Originium ore! I knew I wasn't wrong!"

"The hammer was arranged by the system; I didn't see this kind of goods appear in his store last time..."

"It's not expensive at all when divided among everyone. Leader, let's buy more. Lungmen Dollars are ready."

Players have completely come to regard White Night as a main NPC, just like the merchants in the main city of the game, who also sell key items for the quest during the quest.

Bai Ye focused his attention on the center of the camp.

After the players piled up the Originium ore, ZC, as the leader of the player squad, pressed the "Confirm Construction" button.

In the blink of an eye, all the players present noticed on their screens that a portion of their experience had been withdrawn.

Besides Originium Ore, generating unique resurrection point crystals for players also requires experience points.

Immediately, Bai Ye sensed the change in the surrounding energy.

A gentle energy, like a spring breeze, brushed past his ear. Although the energy was powerful enough to blast the entire block into the sky, Bai Ye did not feel any danger or discomfort.

Instead, he felt as if he were bathed in warm light.

Like the turquoise springs in the Irish forests, like marble bathed in moonlight, like fruit falling silently onto the grass, like ancient poets writing books about it.

Mysterious energy gathered in the center of the player camp, and under its influence, the Originium ore that was originally piled up was activated, emitting a soft and bright light.

After the flash of light, the ore on the spot disappeared. However, in Bai Ye's eyes, countless crystal fragments gathered and pieced together to form a complete crystal stone tablet.

As the last fragment was assembled, a mysterious light suddenly shot into the sky.

An indescribable feeling of emotion suddenly welled up in the hearts of all the players present, as they had built a resurrection point crystal with their own hands.

The soft light seemed to dispel the darkness and mist that enveloped the surroundings, giving them the power to be reborn.

Meanwhile, the crystal is also marked on the system map. Although it cannot be used for direct teleportation yet, it can serve as a road sign to guide all players.

You can find out the name of the player who built the crystal by simply clicking on the crystal details on the map or passing by the crystal in the game.

Player nicknames scroll across the screen, a special honor reserved exclusively for the players.

Please name the respawn point crystal.

As the player ZC pressed the "Confirm" button, a new dialog box popped up on his game panel.

That's right, as the builder, players have the right to name the crystals.

This feature, which allows players to leave their mark in the game, has been very well received. Furthermore, building crystals requires a massive amount of Originium ore and a significant amount of experience, making it possible only through cooperation. Such activities enhance player cohesion.

After discussion and voting, ZC solemnly entered a name:

[Praise the Sun]

longmaythesunshine

This is the first respawn point built by the players, carrying their good wishes and blessings.

"Praise the Sun" is an emote from the classic game Dark Souls, representing mutual help and support among players, as well as many beautiful bonds. No matter how powerful the enemy or boss, summoning the sun as your companion makes everything much easier.

Over time, this setting in a virtual game has gradually become a cultural symbol circulating among players.

Players stood next to the respawn point crystal, each holding up their water bottles or water bags.

"May your courage, my sword, and our respective missions be with the sun."

"longmaythesunshine!"

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

"They may seem loose and disorganized, but they are connected to each other. They are a contradictory and interesting group of people."

Talulah, witnessing all of this, was also moved by the players' unity.

Although she didn't know what they had done, she was captivated by the feeling that everyone was working towards a common goal and ideal.

This is also her own ideal and belief: all infected people gather under the same banner and fight for the same ideal.

Although the process was tortuous and difficult, and could even be described as almost hopeless, Talulah still embarked on this path.

Perhaps she is still very naive, or perhaps she is too idealistic, but she is still worthy of respect.

……

Having had similar experiences before, Bai Ye felt somewhat indifferent, as he had already experienced this kind of emotion once.

He was more concerned with the energy that transformed Originium ore into resurrection point crystals.

Without a doubt, that's the power of the game system.

An unknown entity is using this energy to cover the world, summon players, simulate game systems, generate quests, and even enhance players.

Bai Ye herself is also a beneficiary of this system.

"interesting."

This was the first time Bai Ye experienced the game system from a different perspective.

What a powerful yet gentle force that is.

For some reason, Bai Ye always felt a deep connection to this power, as if it were profoundly linked to him.

Only he could perceive the existence of this power.

The rest of the people, whether players or Terra natives, remained unmoved.

Even the giant beasts and the strange and monstrous beings from outside civilizations did not notice it.

"Is that you?" Bai Ye looked at the game panel floating in front of him, but this question was destined to be in vain, because naturally, no one answered (suddenly a loud bang).

……

…………

"White Night!" Talulah suddenly woke White Night from his reverie.

Although she didn't know why this guy was spacing out all day, the girl didn't take it to heart.

"We received a signal from Mr. Patriot; they are back."

The girl put away the communicator.

Here, the terminal doesn't seem to be of much use, and its electronic components are quite sensitive and easily damaged in low-temperature environments.

Only specially designed terminals can be used in extreme environments and applied to scientific research and exploration.

"I'll be busy from now on."

Bai Ye had already foreseen that he would be traveling back and forth between Rhodes Island and the Ursus Frozen Grounds in the future.

However, it was worth it, as he essentially intervened in and guided the direction of a version of the world's storyline.

Perhaps, there is also a chance to change some of the tragedies that happened in the previous life.

Yes, players from the previous game described the main storyline of this game as "unable to write without angst." In any case, the writers and plot planners kept throwing out angst, and many of the NPCs that players knew had already met their demise... no, I mean, the ACE.

ACE was the first important NPC to die in the story, and in reality, he sacrificed himself to cover Rhodes Island's retreat.

As for the memory copies that appeared in other regions after the major event, ACE's death was also unavoidable.

Chapter Eighty Music

(An extra chapter for a certain reason, not included in the 5-chapter bounty. Anyway, those who know, know; don't say it aloud. Those who don't, don't ask. Be carefree and cheerful, right?)

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

In fact, the players did consider avoiding ACE's death, since the events in reality had already happened and reality could not be changed.

But perhaps there's a chance in dungeons?

This achievement, created by the player himself, is known as the "ACE Conjecture".

However, after countless attempts, players found themselves powerless; this was a scripted death.

Even if you stay behind in the dungeon to cover the retreat with ACE, there's nothing you can do, because the dungeon will keep spawning Reunion soldiers to besiege the players.

Eventually, players will even face an onslaught from all the bosses from the first and second versions.

There is a limit to the number of players who can enter the dungeon in a group, so even the strongest player team in version 6 was unable to accomplish the feat of saving ACE.

The ACE conjecture has been proven to be an impossible task.

……

But now Bai Ye realizes that he may have an opportunity to change things from the source.

Perhaps, he will completely disrupt the entire main storyline.

This change instinctively made him, as a player, feel excited, thrilled, and terrified.

As one of the most powerful players, he himself craves this kind of challenge.

"Let's go to the meeting." Bai Ye closed the book in his hand. He had already received the "learn skill" notification. He only needed to invest experience points to quickly upgrade his skill.

Perhaps when Bai Ye sees him again, even Miss Warfarin, the Blood Demon, will be amazed by his growth.

"I need to find some time to practice potion preparation..."

To Bai Ye, the preparation of the potion was somewhat similar to the making of magic potions in alchemy.

Healing, support, strengthening, weakening...

There are various kinds of medicines with different functions, which can be used in different situations.

Of course, the most important thing is to make money from the players, which will be the main selling point of White Night in the future.

After all, his identity is "Pharmacist Bai Ye".

Wait a minute, doesn't this look a bit like a certain "Holy Flame Pharmacist"? That one probably won't break down the wall to find him, right?

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

At the Reunion camp, White Night met Patriot and Frostnova.

As they get closer to Chernobog, the Reunion Movement experiences more battles, while Patriots' armor becomes increasingly worn and damaged.

"cough……"

As White Night approached the colossal giant, Patriot was coughing in a corner.

His throat felt like it was being rubbed with stones, producing a dry, hoarse sound.

Looking at the Patriot in front of him, Bai Ye felt that the "biological" part of him was becoming less and less, and was being replaced by Originium crystals.

He was turning into stone...

"Sir, are you alright?"

Bai Ye had considerable respect for the old man in front of him, and it wasn't because he couldn't beat him for the time being; that wasn't the reason at all!

"I'm fine. You don't need to worry."

Patriot looked down at Bai Ye. He hadn't seen Bai Ye for a while, and he didn't expect this young man to come and fulfill the contract so soon.

"Sir, I have met the general."

As Bai Ye spoke, he took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to Patriot.

"What... a general?!" Patriot paused.

He had not seen the general since the great rebellion.

There is only one person who made outstanding military contributions in the Battle of Blood Peak but disappeared without a trace.

Bai Ye raised his arm and handed over Helag's letter.
