Bob's Farm

"Miss Leifang." Bai Ye finally learned the Typing Girl's real name.

I've completely lost my online name.

The girl, devastated by losing her online name, glared at Bai Ye: "He actually picked it up and started reading! That's just too much..."

She didn't know what to say.

"Sorry, I've gotten used to it..." Bai Ye was quite curious about the contents of the letter, but the girl was naturally unwilling to show it to Bai Ye.

We have no choice but to give up.

"Was it sent from Laterano?" Bai Ye asked softly after the Typing Girl's anger subsided slightly.

The girl nodded.

She paused for a moment before saying, "It was sent to me by a friend from the past... hoping I can go back."

"However... I don't want to go back."

The girl put the letter away, then hesitated for a moment, turned around, glared at Bai Ye fiercely, and threatened, "Don't call my name when there are other people around!"

"Can I shout when no one's around?" Bai Ye asked with a smile.

"Hmph, whatever..." Although she said that, the Typing Girl's ear tips began to turn red.

"Leifang," Bai Ye tried calling out.

The girl did not react.

"Leifang," Bai Ye called out again.

As a result, the Typing Girl blushed even more.

She hadn't used her real name in a long time, and being called that made her feel incredibly ashamed.

Well, it felt a little strange, but also quite novel. All these feelings mixed together made the Typing Girl unbearable, so she ran out.

"..."

Bai Ye blinked.

It's quite fun.

He had never seen such an interesting expression on the Typing Girl's face before.

"Luna, did you write it down?"

Bai Ye suddenly spoke to the empty room.

"Yes, it's been recorded and categorized under Daily Life - Dark History," Luna's voice came through the earpiece.

Luna's voice is probably neutral with a feminine undertone, but it doesn't have a personality implanted, so it's just a program without emotions.

As for PRTS, Bai Ye suspected that it had been implanted with an emotional module and even had its own personality, because that guy would make jokes and tell very outdated lame jokes.

"Typing Girl is gone... Luna, show me the work log."

Of course, Bai Ye wouldn't completely ignore things. Now that he had the chance to come back, he naturally had to check on the operation of the Rhodes Island branch.

In fact, he was the main person in charge here.

Dr. Kal'tsit essentially handed the entire branch over to him, providing all support except for direct assistance.

Currently, the Rhodes Island branch's main work consists of two parts: treating infected individuals in the Chernobog Core City and training medical personnel.

There are a large number of infected people here, and it may become the world's largest gathering place for infected people in the future. This is the main reason why Rhodes Island established a branch here.

The branch is also training more medical personnel, including not only natives but also a large number of Players.

"I didn't expect the Players to be so enthusiastic?"

Medical training includes not only drug therapy, first aid, and clinical medicine, but also healing magic.

In addition to basic spells, each mentor also possesses unique skills that they specialize in and have developed.

Normally, it's very difficult for Players to access this series of skills, but Bai Ye has provided a way.

As a result, many Players came here by reputation. Due to the large number of people, the Rhodes Island branch had to adopt the "reputation contribution screening method" commonly used by Bai Ye to limit the number of students admitted.

"If I have the chance, I'd like to have my name listed here too..."

Bai Ye himself is a pharmacist, although he rarely uses this skill anymore.

However, this does not prevent him from continuing to exploit Players through this method.

After reviewing the work logs provided by Luna, Bai Ye quickly checked the branch's financial situation. There seemed to be no major loopholes, and everything appeared to be normal.

"Thank you, I'll be going now."

Bai Ye waited in the room for a while longer, but the Typing Girl didn't appear, so he stopped waiting.

"He's gone?"

After Bai Ye left, the Typing Girl tiptoed into the office.

She opened the terminal and saw Bai Ye's advice on some matters he was familiar with, most of which concerned the undead.

In addition, Bai Ye left a note on the table. "Miss Leifang, good luck!"

"That idiot!" Typing Girl turned into Steam Girl again. She didn't know why, but every time Bai Ye called her name, she would be extremely happy.

"That's interesting. I wonder how she'll react when she sees the note."

Bai Ye left the Rhodes Island branch and went to her residence.

He owns a shop in the half of the city where the Players is located, and he also lives there.

As soon as he opened the door, he was choked by the stale air and dust inside.

While using magic to clean up, Bai Ye took the items out of his backpack.

"Unfortunately, it still broke down in the end."

The Bai Ye was holding was "Arc Light," a one-handed sword forged for him by the blacksmiths at Rhodes Island's workshop.

Both the weight and length were customized and modified according to his own habits, making it very easy to handle.

Unfortunately, it still broke down in the end.

Bai Ye thought for a moment, but instead of leaving the broken sword fragments at his residence, he kept them in his inventory.

He hopes that one day he will be able to find someone to help him reforge this weapon.

Chapter 116 Bob's Farm

Besides the broken sword, Bai Ye also has a rather good Laterano Legacy Gun—the Long Gun Black Clarinet.

According to Bai Ye's assessment, this is a high-precision long-barreled gun, named so because it can be disassembled into five sections.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye's use of firearms was rather poor.

Players' skills are divided into three systems: active, passive, and knowledge-based.

Passive skills are a separate issue, as they are typically difficult to acquire and require extensive training. For the average Players, without a professional NPC skill mentor, mastering passive skills is largely a matter of luck.

Knowledge-related skills are named with "lv" followed by a number, such as Bai Ye's "Battlefield First Aid lv.10".

Active skill levels are divided into [Basic], [Beginner], [Master], [Proficient], [Expert], and then [Master] and [Legendary].

Previously, Bai Ye's highest-level skill was [Cold Weapon - Swordsmanship (Expert)]. After transmigrating, all his skills were weakened due to gaining a real physical body. However, he has now leveled them up again.

Moreover, as he becomes more and more proficient in mastering his superhuman [Thought Acceleration], it won't be long before Bai Ye's swordsmanship breaks through to the [Master] level.

However, Bai Ye didn't like using firearms before he transmigrated, but adhering to the idea that he could do without them, Bai Ye still managed to learn how to Firearm Shooting.

The skill level is very low, only at the "Mastery" level.

Incidentally, in Terra, the [Mastery] level of Firearm Shooting skill only allows the use of handguns or single-shot guns. It is not possible to use rapid-fire guns, large guns, or even to simultaneously control multiple guns.

Forget about anything like Exusiai unleashing her ultimate attack with a "rat-a-tat-tat" sound.

They're Sarkaz from Laterano, born to make a living with firearms; even their guns are named Laterano Guardian Gun. Exusiai can simultaneously control multiple repeating guns to fire at the same time, making her quite a formidable character.

Incidentally, Bai Ye's Crossbow Shooting were probably only at the [Proficient] level, but now he can use the wind to adjust his crossbow accuracy, making his power comparable to the [Expert] level.

In fact, this skill level was sufficient in the past, since Bai Ye mainly relied on close combat. If the distance was far, he would directly use his Powered Armor to make a short-range dash, or use the stealth techniques he learned from the Higashi battlefield to close the distance.

As for now, Bai Ye has even less need for long-range firepower support from firearms, unless it's a high-powered hand cannon from the Iberian Inquisition or a high-powered legacy gun from Laterano, then he wouldn't even look at it.

However, his lack of ranged damage output can be completely compensated for by his innate magical abilities.

Bai Ye doesn't plan to continue investing experience in the [Firearm Shooting] skill. Currently, his overall [Originium Arts] level is only [Master]. To advance further, he needs a lot of experience and advanced materials.

After sorting through his equipment and useless junk, Bai Ye Li realized he had acquired quite a few blind boxes, which he planned to give to Players to dispose of later.

After cleaning out his residence, along with his inventory and warehouse, it was already night.

Bai Ye stretched.

Currently, Rhodes Island's cafeteria is likely closed, as the branch campus has just been completed and many plans and facilities are still in the preparation stage. Unlike Rhodes Island headquarters, which has a cafeteria open late at night, this branch campus does not yet have such a service.

We are currently short-staffed in logistics, and it will take some time before we can achieve the same level of functionality as headquarters.

However, this does not mean that we cannot eat right now.

Most of the infected people in the Core City of Chernobog have returned to normal life, and various facilities are slowly restarting.

Now, there are decent restaurants and bars here.

In fact, many restaurants hire Players.

Some Players have even become the head chefs of the in-game restaurant.

Although Players still cannot eat in version 2.1, they can still cook, especially chefs with real-world work experience, who thrive here.

Bai Ye slowly walked out of her residence.

Then, Bai Ye activated an invisibility aura that reduced his presence. Bai Ye no longer needed to increase his visibility by showing his face to Players. He had long since become a legendary NPC in the game.

Therefore, concealing his presence is very useful for Bai Ye; at least, he doesn't have to worry about being constantly followed or surrounded by nosy Players. It just goes to show how fickle people are; Bai Ye used to desperately want all the Players to know him and gather around him.

And now, they're actually annoyed by them!

Instead of going to a regular restaurant, Bai Ye headed towards the outer ring of the Core City.

He arrived at a farm.

It can only be said that, as expected of the Reunion Movement, they have always been arbitrary in their use of land in Mobile City, and such farms were casually built in the urban area of Core City.

The wind told Bai Ye that there was a very fragrant smell coming from here. Ordinary people might only be able to smell it if they got close, but Bai Ye didn't need to go through that much trouble.

So when he goes out to find food, he first looks for the flavors and then locates the restaurant.

"This is... barbecue?"

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and then walked straight in.

Besides wheat fields, the farm also has hops and all sorts of strange Originium Slug.

Bai Ye arrived in front of the farmhouse, where Big Bob and the others were grilling meat. The meat, roasting over charcoal, emitted a fragrant aroma of oil.

"Can I join you?"

Bai Ye broke the invisibility spell and appeared out of thin air.

The surrounding Sarkaz tensed up instantly, and some even raised their weapons.

"Put down your weapons, and you'll be friends."

Big Bob had already taken off his heavy armor, but he was still tall and burly, at least much taller than Bai Ye.

"Mr. Bai Ye, what brings you here?" Big Bob was unusually respectful to Bai Ye, even bowing down.

"Just freeloading!" Bai Ye replied matter-of-factly.

"Pfft—" The Sarkaz next to him laughed.

These Sarkaz were all mercenaries, but unlike the warriors under W, they were tired of fighting and wanted to return to a peaceful life. Therefore, they chose to leave the mercenary army and start running a farm instead.

However, although they are farm workers, these guys have not completely given up their use of force. This farm can be described as a small armory, containing all kinds of weapons and equipment.
