Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Just an illusion." Bai Ye naturally wouldn't admit that he was thinking strange things. Speaking of which, Exusiai is too perceptive. Does she have mind-reading abilities?

In his previous life, Bai Ye seemed to have heard of the Laterans, also known as the Sarkaz, who were a rather unique race. They possessed "empathy" and could sense the emotions of their fellow race members through an aura.

However, based on the available information, it seems that this ability is only effective within the Sarkaz race itself...

There is no halo around the White Night.

"Oh, Bai Ye, your fan club is here," Croissant suddenly said.

Bai Ye looked up and saw groups of players walking towards him.

After all, their levels weren't very high, and there were elites among the Eastern Kingdom group, so many players lost their lives in the firefight, and most of the survivors were in poor condition. However, their morale was quite good.

The players' fearless attitude really startled the people of Dongguo, who ultimately chose to evacuate.

“ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh, the mission failed completely…”

Some players opened the game system panel and, sure enough, the quests they had accepted had failed, and their reputation with the Eastern Ronin Group had turned "hostile".

However, to the players' relief, they unlocked a positive relationship with Bai Ye, and their affection level increased by 1.

"Let's go over there and take a look~" Exusiai waved to Bai Ye with the others, afraid of disturbing Bai Ye's meeting with her "fans".

Miss Flight Attendant gave Bai Ye a "good luck" gesture, and then left with Texas and the others.

……

"white night!"

"It's actually Bai Ye's newly unlocked rare skin? He looks like an assassin..."

"So NPCs change clothes too? I thought they always wore the same outfit."

"Bai Ye can't possibly not take a shower... It's understandable that he's nitpicking over details like this, so I can understand why the game card fee is a bit high."

"Daddy Baiye, take me with you!"

"Wow, a new concept of electronic family recognition, huh?!"

The players were buzzing with excitement. This was the first time they had ever seen Bai Ye, so they had a unique sense of novelty – a feeling of "finally seeing the real deal."

'Heh, it's not much different from meeting fans...' Bai Ye didn't actually dislike this feeling, but he wouldn't get addicted to it either.

To be honest, the sensory experience of having your kind bow down and even being manipulated at will is indeed addictive. It only takes a few vague points of goodwill and experience, or a little benefit, to move your fingers or think about it.

Fortunately, Bai Ye had received various training since childhood, so he had a strong will and a stable mental structure. In addition, he had 6 years of gaming experience. Otherwise, he might have really gotten lost in this sense of excitement and control.

Perhaps this is why Bai Ye was able to quickly become one of the best players when he first started playing games in his previous life—it wasn't just about reaction speed or talent, but also about willpower and spirit.

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

"Yo, it's over?"

After dealing with the players, Bai Ye met up with the Penguin Logistics girls at the agreed-upon location on the terminal.

Exusiai was the first to see Byakuya. She was sitting at a table outside the restaurant and waved to Byakuya.

"Well, it's over."

Bai Ye walked over and sat down at the table. They had originally planned to have dinner, but after the commotion, it was already quite late.

"Sigh, really, it still turned out badly in the end." Sora was a little down. She had originally wanted to treat Byakuya to a good time, but the final result was not satisfactory.

"I always mess things up... I can't do anything right." Kong sighed, feeling down.

Everyone looked at Kong, who was inexplicably blaming himself, with a sense of helplessness.

Bai Ye winked at Texas.

At the same time, Exusiai and Croissant also made a "please" gesture.

Texas, understanding the unspoken message, reached out and patted Sora on the shoulder: "Ahem, Sora, it's not your fault."

"But I also want to solve problems as easily as my predecessors."

In the surprise attack, everyone—A-Neng, Croissant, and Texas—reacted. Bai Ye even charged out directly. Only she was protected by her seniors. If it weren't for Bai Ye, she would probably be lying in the hospital right now.

While it's unlikely that one would actually attend the banquet, injury is unavoidable.

“We also started from weakness and grew up.” Texas rarely spoke in a long sentence. She looked into Sora’s eyes and said, “In fact, Sora has done a very good job.”

"Is...is that so?" Even though she knew Texas was just trying to comfort her, Sora fell for it, and her eyes sparkled.

"Yes, it is like that."

With Texas's comforting words, Sora finally regained her composure.

Exusiai gave Texas a thumbs-up, while Lupo turned her head away, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Unfortunately, they managed to escape in the end." Croissant was indignant. The Guard Bureau personnel were indeed a bit late, probably due to a recent shortage of manpower, and could only come to the scene to clean up the mess.

Texas sneered: "Getting caught is lucky."

"They can't escape."

That's right. They openly attacked people in the city center, even dragging innocent Lungmen citizens into the conflict, and even tried to force a fight. These outsiders didn't play by Lungmen's rules, so Lungmen wouldn't accept them.

It is estimated that the Rat King's men have already made their move by now.

Penguin Logistics needs an explanation.

Thinking about it this way, these guys' fates must be terrible, even worse than being arrested and forced to work on sewing machines.

"Speaking of which, Bai Ye is really popular... Are you an idol too?" Exusiai suddenly turned the topic to Bai Ye.

Croissant nodded in agreement: "Those people betrayed us way too quickly! Bai Ye, do you have some kind of special superpower? Like controlling people's minds or something?"

Well, in a sense, that's not wrong. After all, Bai Ye's current work mode is similar to that of a game planner. His goal is to deceive and trick players into spending money and making them spend money. It's a kind of alternative way of controlling people's hearts, right?

It can make players unconsciously take out their money, and even express their gratitude while spending it, which is no different from a superpower.

"Is it just because I'm relatively well-known within their group?" Bai Ye felt his legendary status on his panel was about to increase again. This matter was bound to circulate in the gray areas of Lungmen.

Well, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

However, Bai Ye felt something was amiss; it seemed that wherever he went, something unexpected always happened. Look, as soon as he arrived in Longmen, Penguin Logistics was attacked. What kind of trouble-attracting constitution was this…?

"It must just be a coincidence!"

Bai Ye tried hard to convince herself.

We need to be scientific. Wherever we go, we can bomb. There's no such thing as a bizarre constitution.

Haha, that's definitely impossible.

Chapter 106 Gentlemen, I like big ones

"Thank you, Bai Ye."

After dinner, Sora took advantage of Byakuya going to buy drinks to talk to him alone.

The girl blushed and bowed her head to thank him.

She was saved by Bai Ye today.

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Bai Ye took a juice from the vending machine and tossed it to Kong Yi.

"Sugar-free drinks seem quite suitable for idols like you."

Bai Ye then took out a can of Happy Sparkling Water, which tastes similar to Coca-Cola on Earth, a very popular carbonated beverage.

"Hmm." He held the cold soda can in his hand, but didn't open it.

Bai Ye patted her on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. Think about your strengths and your role in the team, then work hard and support your teammates in your own way. That's what you should be doing now."

Let Kong wield a sword and engage in melee combat?

The scene was too outrageous for Bai Ye to imagine.

……

After receiving Kong's thanks, Bai Ye returned to Team Five of Penguin Logistics. Exusiai quietly approached Bai Ye and whispered, "If you put in a little more effort, maybe you really can win over that little girl."

"Stop joking..." Bai Ye took a sip of cola and gently shook his head.

“Tsk, I’m not kidding.” Exusiai said seriously, “Texas is actually quite worried. It’s not a bad thing for your junior to admire you, but if that feeling turns sour, it can be quite troubling.”

“When you first came to stay at Penguin Logistics, she talked to me about it. She said that if you could get the situation back on track, she would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.”

Bai Ye couldn't help but turn to look at Texas, somewhat surprised: "She actually brought up this kind of topic?"

"Heh, that's prejudice. Texas is still a young girl, after all. Young girls always have some special topics to discuss." Exusiai shook her index finger, giving a "you're still too young" look.

"Ah."

Texas nodded slightly to the side, clearly using the Lupo's powerful hearing. She didn't refute what Exusiai said, so it was probably true.

"Empty...?"

Bai Ye, however, did not have that thought.

To be honest, the girls from Penguin Logistics were the first people he met and became familiar with after his transmigration. However, he didn't really care about these girls; he just treated them as friends and partners.

To be honest, Bai Ye likes white hair, and big hair too.

Unfortunately, apart from Croissant, none of the other Penguin Logistics staff seem to be considered large.

Therefore, he truly had no feelings for these girls.

"What a pity..." Exusiai saw the expression on White Night's face and knew it was hopeless. She sighed, "Texas, you got yourself into this mess, so you'd better untangle it yourself."

"Tsk." Texas was speechless.

She is a person who likes peace and quiet.

However, now, besides the crazy Rupert woman who is still chasing after her and whose whereabouts are unknown, it seems that she has gained another lovely junior... Life from now on is definitely going to be very exciting.

"Should I get involved too? It sounds interesting... As far as I know, Sora is jealous of me." Exusiai whispered in Texas's ear.

Texas said seriously, "Please allow me to refuse."

Stop joking, two people are already troublesome enough, and now there's another eccentric Lateran...

"Pfft—" Bai Ye, who was standing to the side, burst out laughing.

Indeed, it's better to be friends. The joy of watching your best friend suffer is just as delightful as watching an anime series.

What a fascinating complex relationship!

Penguin Album lives up to its name.

Sora watched as his seniors whispered to each other, tilting his head with a puzzled expression.

"Go for it, Sora!" Croissant waved her fist and shouted a cheer that had no clear meaning.

Penguin Logistics is still operating peacefully today.

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

Thanks to Exusiai's accidental intervention, Byakuya clarified his relationship with the girls from Penguin Logistics.

Partners, trustworthy friends, even frenemy friends... that's enough.

As expected, Baiye's main fantasy is still Bai Mao.

However, the next meeting was not as simple as the previous one.

Bai Ye is going to meet the boss of Penguin Logistics, the Great Emperor.

A penguin.

At "the end of the earth," Bai Ye saw his goal.

"Hey kid!" Upon seeing Bai Ye enter the bar, the Great Emperor jumped onto a high stool and waved at him.

He seemed to be in a good mood.

Bai Ye walked up to him and sat down opposite the penguin.

To be honest, he felt it was strange, after all, in his previous life as a player, these important NPCs were big shots in their eyes.

Now, the two can sit facing each other. Although they are not exactly equals due to the vast difference in their power, they are still worthy of the Emperor's attention.

As an outsider, the fact that the Emperor could become one of the big shots in Longmen clearly indicates that he has a very impressive background.

"Thank you for today." The Emperor personally poured Bai Ye a glass of juice. He knew that Bai Ye was not good at drinking and had made a fool of himself when he got drunk before.
