Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Players were somewhat incredulous as they looked at the pop-up window on the game panel.

No wonder Bai Ye sought them out alone. Look, the system explained it all – their favorability rating had reached the required level!

Sure enough, the big boss of the Valletta Society is a prophet. Once the favorability reaches a certain level, a special pose—no, I mean a storyline—can be unlocked!

Bai Ye is indeed a man with a story!

However, players are also hesitant about whether to join this organization.

After all, they don't know much about Bai Ye yet; they only know that he has been helping infected people and maintaining ambiguous relationships with multiple organizations...

"Of course I have to join." Player "Coffee Cup" pressed the YES option.

……

……

A series of system prompts completely baffled "Coffee Cup".

I just joined an NPC organization, how did it cause such a big commotion?

The first few were understandable, but what exactly is this "Longmen Guard Bureau"? How did we end up getting involved with the police?

However, deep down, the "coffee cup" was secretly delighted.

With so many clues, this organization must be incredibly prestigious, definitely a top-tier organization!

Seeing this, other players also joined White Night's logistics company.

It can be said that Baiye has only now officially recruited its first batch of player employees.

Those were just... hard labor?

These are the core players.

"Because of your abilities, I need to deploy manpower throughout this land."

Currently, White Night plans to assign one player each to Rhodes Island, Lungmen, Reunion, and Chernobog, thus forming a small communication network.

Players act as transmitters and base stations, while White Night and other Terran natives can transmit information through them.

Of course, Bai Ye won't communicate directly. Instead, he will encrypt the information using both magic and ciphertext, so that players won't know what they are communicating about.

By issuing tasks, players can transmit encrypted messages completely. If any tampering occurs during transmission, it cannot be detected by the system, thus ensuring the reliability of the player-to-player communication system.

See, the game system is about to be exploited again...

In the past, the natives didn't arrange the players like this.

After all, they hadn't discovered the player's secret.

Only Bai Ye, who was once a player, can truly understand players.

Baiye even plans to include some Easter eggs, such as sending out special Easter eggs or coded messages with active properties for players to decipher, satisfying their curiosity to peek.

Deciphering the ciphertext also earns rewards, increasing players' motivation to work.

Moreover, this kind of work can be done part-time, because due to manpower issues, as well as confidentiality and rarity, Baiye Logistics Company is currently only open to a small number of users.

Players won't need to stay at the window to greet customers all the time.

They can simply do whatever they want, and wait for users to find them through intercity networks or intercity communications before accepting and completing the tasks.

"This is a groundbreaking invention!"

Bai Ye clenched his fist secretly.

We've finally reached this point.

From then on, instant messaging technology also appeared on this land.

Although it's done manually...

We're not like that! .jpg

Chapter 87 Wangba Tuozi Office

"From now on, you will be employees of our company!"

Seeing the players all boarding the pirate ship—no, I mean, joining his company—Bai Ye was naturally overjoyed.

This feeling was outwardly apparent, and the player immediately understood the true value of "a 5-point increase in favorability".

Look, Bai Ye was quite cold to them before, but now he's immediately become friendly.

With the system's guarantee, players would never have guessed that Bai Ye was actually an imposter NPC.

"Our company's benefits...blah blah blah..."

After some small talk, Bai Ye got to the point: "The company will arrange for you to have a medical check-up, then customize special uniforms and assign weapons."

The players' eyes lit up immediately.

This company's benefits are amazing! You can get exclusive weapons and skins just by joining?

For players, achievements, titles, skins, and mounts have always been incredibly tempting. Game designers also like to link these to in-game currency to satisfy players' desire to show off.

After all, for online games, excessively widening the gap between whales and ordinary players will shorten the game's lifespan. However, these things that do not actually improve combat power are unexpectedly popular among players.

In Terra, no one understands players better than White Night.

LMD and experience points are one aspect, but giving players a cool uniform and customizable weapons is what truly attracts them.

Bai Ye really figured out how to handle planning...

As for whether it will widen the gap between some players and others, and the game experience, that's up to Bai Ye Wu Guan... Anyway, even if there's controversy, players won't confront him; they'll just go to the forums to curse the game's official team and the non-existent game planner.

Bai Ye is a master at shifting blame, after all, he's just a weak, innocent NPC who knows nothing...

Aside from the players who remained with Reunion, White Night took the rest of the players with him. He would settle them in various cities, temporarily forming a communication network between Lungmen and Chernobog.

Chernobog will temporarily use the Azazel clinic, while other locations can be taken from the Rhodes Island office, which Rhodes Island likely needs as well.

It's important to understand that Rhodes Island loses field personnel and suffers accidents every year, and even doctors are murdered. This is because it's difficult to keep track of operator situations and dispatch assistance promptly.

Most of the time, by the time the investigators arrive at the scene, it's too late to do anything about it.

……

"careful!"

Riding in the White Night's car is a thrilling and exciting gaming experience for players.

Because he was in a hurry, Bai Ye drove quite recklessly. Moreover, he was an experienced driver, having driven vehicles and aircraft around in his previous life, so his driving skills were quite superb.

The road was not actually very safe, and Bai Ye would sometimes encounter bandits blocking his way.

However, as mentioned before, Bai Ye was in a hurry, so when he encountered these guys, he usually dealt with them quickly to get through.

Therefore, before players can even react, Bai Ye has already dealt with the roadblocks and driven away.

His image has become increasingly mysterious in the eyes of players. His ability to maintain contact with so many organizations, his immense power, and his special missions and responsibilities have only strengthened players' belief that Bai Ye is the main NPC.

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

After placing the other player in Lungmen, Bai Ye took the last player, "Coffee Cup," to Rhodes Island.

It's difficult to explain the special nature of this organization to someone who has never met a Rhodes Islander.

It's difficult to clearly describe Rhode Island as simply an "infected organization" or a "pharmaceutical company."

Therefore, when players finally saw the massive land-based aircraft carrier, the Rhodes Island itself, the shock they felt was no less than when they first saw a mobile city. "These... are all Rhodes Island?"

"Coffee Cup" instinctively opened its mouth wide, pointing at the huge ship in front of it.

“Yes, this is all our territory.” Bai Ye nodded. “This land-based aircraft carrier belongs to Rhodes Island!”

What are those people doing?

The player pointed to the operators busy at the front of the Rhodes Island.

"They are engineering operators from Rhodes Island, responsible for clearing the waterway and removing obstacles."

Established waterways can be altered by natural disasters, natural elements, and human activities, requiring operators to personally investigate and check for unobstructed passage.

At the same time, natural disaster messengers should be dispatched ahead of the flight path to check for any natural disasters.

Getting such a huge ship moving is no easy task.

……

"director!"

After parking the vehicle, Bai Ye changed into the special uniform of the Rhodes Island supervisor. However, his uniform had been modified by Typing Princess to fit him better and also had some personal style.

Operators who know him will greet him when they see him.

Coffee Cup only learned from Bai Ye that Bai Ye's identity was quite special.

This player is unaware that being able to board or even permanently reside on Rhodes Island's main ship is a very rare thing for players. Although Rhodes Island in the previous life did not exclude players as a special group, due to the limited space on the ship and the large number and chaos of players, Rhodes Island did not recruit too many players as operators.

Getting onto Rhodes Island usually requires both immense ability and luck.

Furthermore, the Rhodes Island is constantly at sea and cannot be communicated via the game's world chat, so players have no idea where the ship is. The most they can do is either go to an office to accept local missions or join an office and work locally.

Although they are also employees of Rhodes Island, they rarely have the opportunity to board the main ship.

“Typist, this is my employee. She’s assigned to the Northern Cross’s Rhode Island office.”

"Then he will be placed into Rhodes Island's cooperative recruitment process."

Bai Ye handed the coffee cup to her assistant.

He will then serve as Northern Cross’s liaison officer in Rhodes Island, providing professional communications support and advice to Rhodes Island during the contract period, while also assisting Rhodes Island in various operations.

White Night also hinted that the coffee cup can take on internal missions within Rhodes Island, and even after the Rhodes Island docks, it can follow the procurement operator into the local area for sightseeing and missions while maintaining communication.

"Hmm, I feel like there's something strange about this guy..."

The typist looked the player "Coffee Cup" up and down, feeling an indescribable awkwardness.

"What do you mean?" Bai Ye asked, somewhat puzzled. He had initially thought his assistant was talking about the players.

Unexpectedly, the typist frowned and organized her thoughts before explaining, "That's the feeling. It's like someone who looks like a man, but you always feel like there's a woman inside. Many of their movements are subconsciously feminine, so the more you look at them, the more awkward it feels."

That's it!

Bai Ye suddenly realized.

It's not a big deal. Players create their characters based on their interests. It's perfectly normal for boys to create female characters and girls to create male character accounts!

It seems that the "coffee cup" is probably a young lady in real life.

……

Typing Girl rubbed her forehead. Bai Ye always brought back some strange people, and she was used to it.

That's not the point.

She pointed at the terminal and looked at Bai Ye, asking, "And another thing, what the heck is this 'Turtle Head Office'?!"
