Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Why is this little tidbit so silly?

Are you laughing at me too?

Hearing Bai Ye's laughter, Skadi became even more displeased, and she reached out and gently pinched Bai Ye's face.

"I wasn't laughing at you," Bai Ye quickly explained.

"Really?" Skadi rubbed White Night's face, making various expressions on it.

“Of course, I’m not making fun of you. I just think, well, you’re cute.” Bai Ye took Skadi’s hand.

"Isn't that making fun of me..." Skadi frowned, looking slightly dissatisfied.

However, the orca's tantrum only lasted a short while, and she soon moved on to other things.

She remembered the lap pillow incident, which her teammates mentioned by the campfire at night.

"white night."

As the two enjoyed the tranquility before dawn, Skadi suddenly called out White Night's name.

"Ok?"

"Let's go on a mission together again next time."

"I want to be with you."

"Ah."

"Bai Ye, I feel that with you by my side, I can go much further on this land."

"Yes. Together."

"really?"

"real."

"Bai Ye, do you think there might be other deep-sea hunters like me on land?"

"I don't know. Maybe."

"Hmph, it's a pity they weren't as lucky as me; they didn't meet you."

"Is that right?"

"Ah."

"We can go find them."

"Okay, let's go look for it together."

"..."

"Bai Ye... will you treat them the way you treat me?"

“I don’t know, maybe… but Titi is special.”

"Hmm? A cunning way of putting it."

"Hmph, probably. Who told you to be so silly..."

……

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

In the early morning, White Night reluctantly left Skadi's lap.

Even though she was pressed down all night, Skadi didn't feel any discomfort or leg numbness, and she got up from the bed as usual.

"Bai Ye, you've gotten even stronger."

As a warrior, or rather a weapon, Skadi was able to keenly perceive the growth of White Night.

"Because I'm working hard too..." Bai Ye said somewhat awkwardly.

The people of this land crave power, whether to satisfy their own ambitions, for a grand ideal, or simply to survive.

And what about himself...?

It seems to be just to push over the orca.

Yes, he must become strong enough to survive Miss Skadi's stress response after being provoked.

That's why he has to become stronger...

How insignificant!

"Where to next?" Skadi seemed to realize that White Night wouldn't stay on Rhodes Island for long.

"Longmen. Let's go to Longmen first." Bai Ye raised his watch; there was still some time before the meeting time, no rush.

"I plan to continue the investigation and, while I'm at it, complete some of Rhodes Island's requests."

"I learned that it seems that a fellow countryman once emerged from the deep sea and came to land... and was eventually buried on the earth."

"I need more intelligence."

Miss Skadi was constantly investigating, but she lacked the means and could only rely on Rhodes Island.

"I will help you..." Bai Ye prepared to issue a quest to the players, asking them to collect clues about Agor.

These guys are really good at finding and digging up this kind of stuff, especially the "boat scholars" at the Valletta Institute.

'...Dr. Kal'tsit probably knows something too; perhaps I can ask her later.'

Bai Ye frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then granted his permissions to Skadi.

With this key, Titi can log in and access some databases that were not previously accessible to her.

This is a violation of regulations.

However, although Bai Ye is the head of Rhodes Island's field operations department.

However, it's understandable to show a slight bias towards one's own friends...

There shouldn't be any problem.

"I need to find a way to further increase my privileges..."

Bai Ye's authority is already very high; the department head is definitely part of Rhodes Island's decision-making body and has enormous authority.

However, some areas are still not open.

Level 9 access is required.

'Could it be that Kal'tsit has rebelled...?'

Chapter Ninety-Eight Near-Earth Vehicles

"Skadi's energy has been replenished, we can set off!"

After a night of recharging, Bai Ye was fully refreshed once again. All the fatigue he had accumulated had disappeared, and he was now in top form.

"Be careful on the road."

Skadi was also organizing her equipment; she naturally had a mission to go out on.

I don't know when we'll meet again.

……

After having breakfast in the cafeteria, Bai Ye went to the deck.

His mode of transportation this time was quite unusual.

Because he had obtained an extraordinary means of transportation—Rhodes Island's aircraft.

In Terra, flying machines are a very rare thing.

Natural disasters not only disrupt cities, but also disrupt the flight paths needed by aircraft.

No one knows whether a spacecraft will encounter a natural disaster while it is in the air.

Therefore, this mode of transportation is not commonly used.

However, after investigating the flight routes, they are still usable.

Moreover, this type of vehicle is quite expensive and rare.

Ordinary people have never even seen it.

Rhodes Island possesses a near-ground aircraft that resembles the old V-22 Osprey transport plane, with two side-rotor rotors, enabling it to take off and land vertically.

Of course, it's the Originium Engine.

As the department head, Bai Ye has the authority to apply for the use of near-ground aircraft.

……

"Are we really not needed pilots?" Kroos asked, looking at White Night with some concern.

Yes, Bai Ye will personally pilot the aircraft.

"Of course, after all, the pilots of both the Bad Guy and the Good Boy had just completed their missions, so they can't just fly whenever they want..."

The aircraft that Bai Ye borrowed this time was the "Bad Guy," which was smaller than the other one, the "Good Boy."

"Dr. Kal'tsit said that near-ground aircraft are extremely rare and valuable assets for Rhodes Island, and it would be unacceptable to damage them!" Kroos warned solemnly.

"Don't worry, if it gets broken, just leave it to me. I'll pay for all the repairs." Bai Ye isn't exactly short of money right now.

"Sigh... I'm already thinking about these things before we've even set off..." Kroos covered her forehead.

As they were talking, all the people Bai Ye was waiting for arrived.

First, there was the medical aid operator that Baiye applied for. The person arranged by Dr. Kal'tsit was her own student, Aya.

She was a refreshing young woman with long brown hair and slender legs encased in black stockings. Upon seeing Bai Ye, she quickly walked up to him and solemnly reported, "Hello, Supervisor Bai Ye, I am Medical Aya, and I will be in charge of medical assistance from now on. Please take care of me."

"ciallo~" Bai Ye greeted him in return, but he wasn't as serious. He looked at the various boxes and equipment that Aya had brought in on a handcart, then opened the hatch and prepared to start loading them into the aircraft.

"ciallo...?" Aya was taken aback. What kind of greeting was that...?

What a strange department head...

But the person seems to be doing well.

But why did Dr. Kal'tsit tell her before she left to keep an eye on this supervisor and not to do anything reckless...?

Coming to her senses, she saw that Bai Ye had already started packing his luggage, so she quickly went over to help.

"This is……?"

In the cargo hold, the girl discovered a large object wrapped in canvas.

This thing is positioned directly opposite the hatch exit at the rear.

"Oh, this is a brand new sand buggy." Bai Ye checked the securing devices and the hidden backup power source in the cargo hold. He certainly didn't want to crash it in the wilderness...

"A...a motorcycle." Aya felt a little incredulous. Why would they need to cram another vehicle inside the aircraft...?

"Alright, is there anything else you forgot to bring?" Bai Ye asked, tilting his head.

"I've checked it against the list, and there are no problems." Ya Ye was methodical and organized, which reassured Bai Ye.

To be honest, he was worried that the student arranged by Dr. Kal'tsit might be a difficult one, but he didn't expect that this medical operator, Dr. Kal'tsit's personal disciple, would be quite reliable.

Exactly, being too serious isn't a good thing either.

……

When Bai Ye and Aya emerged from the warehouse, they found that the A4 Operation Reserve Team, who were traveling with them, was already in position.

"Instructor Bai Ye!"

Upon seeing Bai Ye, they quickly lined up neatly.

"Good, very energetic." Bai Ye felt that the way these young people were looking at him was a bit strange.

Hmm... how should I put it, it seems like we're visiting some kind of exotic animal.

Especially that beautiful cat with long purple hair, Film Cat.

Her name seems to be Melantha... yeah, the "Little Melantha" that Franka mentioned. Before leaving, the fat fox seemed to tell him to take good care of this girl.

"Well, we'll see..." Bai Ye didn't really have any experience in taking care of newbies.
