Reincarnated NPC, But It's Arknights Chapter 32

He really dares to say anything.

And he agreed to recruit himself!

"When an operator subjectively plans actions that harm Rhodes Island's ideals, they will be immediately expelled; when an operator deliberately violates Rhodes Island's rules and regulations, they may be eliminated before causing substantial harm."

The supervisor held the Rhodes Island regulations and operator handbook, his eyes extremely dangerous!

Bai Ye naturally didn't know what others thought of him.

He didn't need to care.

His speech continued.

Bai Ye adjusted the microphone: "I am now going to outline the work priorities for our department."

"First, the scale of the field operations department must be expanded."

"We have too few people, the workload is too great, and with our current scale, we cannot cope with the upcoming challenges."

"Therefore, I have decided to expand and recruit, while also increasing the number of overseas offices, outposts, and safe houses!"

"We need to establish a network system that covers the entirety of Terra. Ultimately, I hope that wherever our operators go, they will see the symbol of Rhodes Island."

"At the same time, I need to establish a new external window in each office and outpost. This entire system will play a huge role later. This system is to deal with the emergence of new populations, we need to establish the system first and make contact with them in advance."

The so-called new populations naturally refer to players.

"We need to prioritize Victoria, Lungmen (Yan), Laterano, Columbia, and Ursus." Bai Ye listed the regions where players logged in during version 1.0.

Perhaps it was already too late to cover everything from the start.

However, Bai Ye couldn't do anything about it. Time was too short, so he could only race against time and do as much as possible.

"Expansion is necessary, don't worry about manpower. Build the framework first, and manpower will be supplemented later."

After talking about expansion, Bai Ye continued: "We also need to consolidate. All field operators must return to Rhodes Island in rotation for new special training. This is not just combat training; I will also teach everyone how to deal with those strange new populations and new crises."

"We need to establish a more complete reward and punishment system, especially the latter. Rules without punishment cannot be called rules. Stubbornly clinging to so-called moral consensus and conscience as the cornerstone of rules is a bad habit."

"We must improve the survival capabilities of our personnel. I will communicate with the Rhodes Island instructor group. You are too weak, you have no power! I will not ask you to be as strong as frontline combat operators, but please ensure that you can survive under crisis. Every one of you is important, and I don't want to lose anyone."

"We must update our equipment. I will find other companies for comprehensive cooperation to replace old weapons and equipment."

"We need more budget. Don't worry about money issues, I will find a solution."

After saying this, Bai Ye looked at everyone, paused, and suddenly laughed.

Everyone was stunned.

However, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed, as if his smile had brightened the conference room.

A charm of 96 points was indeed terrifyingly powerful...

Bai Ye said: "Next, I will say something that everyone likes and is more practical. That's right, I will increase everyone's salary, and new benefits will also be distributed. You will see these in the detailed regulations later."

"We need to cooperate closely with other departments, especially the medical and engineering departments."

"The safety of everyone is also a key focus of our work. I promise that from now on, if any field operator outside sends a distress signal, I will dispatch an action team to rescue them."

"If the situation is urgent, I will go personally."

"I will do my best to ensure that every field operator away from the main ship of Rhodes Island can feel a sense of security."

Finally, Bai Ye stood up from his chair.

He raised his fist: "Everyone, don't be afraid of the darkness, because the darker the night, the more dazzlingly the starlight will shine."

"No matter how great the despair, those who say 'I can't do it' before a challenge are fools! When you do your best and still can't win, then mock yourself and say 'I'm still not good enough.' Because the next part can be left to the people around you, and it can be left to me."

"I believe that compared to naturally shining gold, the brilliance of steel tempered in fierce flames is more valuable."

"I hope we can encourage each other, and let us create our own future together!"

Bai Ye turned off the microphone.

Silence swept through the entire conference room.

After a long while, thunderous applause erupted.

The typing machine, who had listened to Bai Ye's speech and witnessed all of this, looked at Bai Ye standing there.

He was now the focus of the room, the absolute center.

Goals, methods, rewards, and then following through on his promises would earn everyone's trust.

Those who joined Rhodes Island could all be called kind people. Their personalities possessed a certain nobility and brilliance, which also gave Bai Ye more confidence in his work.

While thinking, Bai Ye raised his terminal to check the time, then said: "Everyone, it's my first day at Rhodes Island, and I haven't been to the cafeteria yet. Let's go for a meal. Invite all the field operators at Rhodes Island, I'll pay!"

"Hooray!"

Bai Ye finally heard the first cheer.

He smiled and nodded at everyone, then led the way out of the conference room.

"Hoo—"

After leaving the sight of everyone, Bai Ye quickly deflated, like a leaky balloon, completely lacking his previous imposing presence.

"I think I did okay, right?" Bai Ye asked the person behind him.

Behind him, the typing machine had followed him out.

"I've never spoken this much before..."

Bai Ye panted a few times, calming his somewhat agitated emotions.

He was actually quite nervous...

And he hadn't prepared a speech, it was all improvised. To be honest, he was quite worried he'd say something wrong.

Actually, he was imitating the commander and the president of "The Revelry Tea Party."

Although he wasn't able to join the tea party, his relationship with those people was quite close. He had attended many "tea parties" as an observer.

Usually, the president would set the direction for everyone and pump them up. She was always full of energy and had exceptional initiative. Bai Ye always jokingly called her the Haruhi Suzumiya of presidents.

The commander, however, was calmer. He usually carried out the tasks assigned by the president and issued various commands. His tone was always calm, and he always had a stern expression, giving off a rather intimidating aura.

No one in the tea party dared to provoke him.

As the supervisor, Bai Ye wanted to combine both styles, ensuring his authority while also establishing a banner that everyone could follow, guiding them forward.

This process was not simple, and Bai Ye was exploring as he went.

However, he still needed to grasp the key password. No matter what kind of speech it was, as long as it was tied to "this-land," it would definitely be foolproof!

"You can learn some things from him. Although there are shortcomings, he did a good job," Doctor Kal'tsit instructed Amiya in her office.

Words have power.

As the leader of Rhodes Island, Amiya needed to inspire and lead everyone through her words.

Bai Ye's speech lacked explosiveness and even passion, appearing somewhat bland. But it was enough, because no matter how much he said, he would need to fulfill it through concrete actions.

Doctor Kal'tsit believed that as long as he could do what he promised, he could unite the entire department around him.

Bai Ye was thinking about the dinner party.

Although he had known how many people were in the entire department for a long time.

But when everyone gathered together, he was still startled.

So many operators...

And this wasn't even all of them; there were many operators who had left the main Rhodes Island ship and were out on missions.

What scared Bai Ye wasn't the number of people; he was worried about his wallet...

Right, he had said he'd pay for the dinner party earlier.

Looking at it now, it seemed quite terrifying.

A huge expenditure!

However, Bai Ye stood by his word. Since he said he would treat them, he wouldn't go back on his promise, nor would he use the department's financial budget.

He took out his wallet from his pocket.

He had earned quite a bit of money when he was in Lungmen.

Some of it came from the proceeds of cracking down on gangs.

It also came from the "tuition fees" paid by players.

In short, he was quite well-off right now.

And so, everyone saw a very real side of Bai Ye—when he took out his wallet from his pocket to pay at the cafeteria window, everyone saw his hand trembling...

Someone couldn't help but laugh on the spot.

Bai Ye himself couldn't laugh, but he quickly contained his negative emotions. He didn't eat; instead, while everyone was having dinner, he went from table to table, recognizing every single operator present.

Except for the department's higher-ups in the conference room, the outer-ship operators resting on the vessel hadn't met Bai Ye. He also needed to make a round to let everyone get to know him and satisfy their curiosity.

"So the new supervisor is this young."

"He's so handsome."

"For real."

As Bai Ye wandered around, the operators discovered something quite terrifying: their supervisor seemed to have recognized all the operators, able to accurately call out each of their names, not even needing PRTS's prompts.

Was this even human?

How long had it been since he got the files?

Completely convinced.

Even the Operators who initially had minor criticisms or slight dissatisfaction with Bai Ye were impressed by his abilities. They had to admit that Bai Ye was indeed more suited to be the supervisor.

Bai Ye didn't set a time limit for the gathering, and some Operators even gestured as if they wanted to go for a second round.

Rhodes Island had a bar called "One More Cup," which only served alcoholic beverages between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM.

Some bolder Operators seemed to want to drag their new supervisor to the bar, and some even had more outrageous intentions. The first step was to get Bai Ye drunk.

Bai Ye found it difficult to refuse these enthusiastic Operators.

So, he could only go along with them.

After just one drink, Bai Ye started feeling dizzy.

He really couldn't hold his liquor.

The Operators who had pulled Bai Ye for drinks then got to see a different side of him. How come their supervisor seemed quite cute?

The usually stern supervisor became very easy to talk to after drinking. He would nod at whatever anyone said, though it was unclear if he had actually heard them clearly...

"SuzakuHyperDrrrrrryyyyyy!"

Just as Bai Ye was about to be completely drunk, an uninvited Sanguinarian lady suddenly appeared in the bar.

"Please, hand him over to me, won't you?"

Miss Warfarin supported Bai Ye by his shoulders, flashing a brilliant smile at everyone.

"Uh..." Some Operators tried to protect their supervisor from the wicked Sanguinarian. Unfortunately, the Sanguinarian lady scared them off with intimidating words and threats of horrifying surgeries with no moral bottom line.

Doctor Warfarin's reputation wasn't good; it could even be described as terrible.

Despite being one of Rhodes Island's founding members, she had no authority in front of the Operators. It was said that many Operators who joined Rhodes Island in the early days had the terrifying experience of suddenly blacking out while walking, only to wake up on an operating table with strange laughter echoing in their ears.

Although she had restrained herself now due to Doctor Kal'tsit's supervision, the Operators couldn't be sure if her previous threats were a joke or serious...

So, farewell, our dear supervisor
