When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 1056 - 382: If Anyone Calls Bai Fu Honest Again, I’ll Lose My Temper

On the pristine white shelves, hundreds of metal boxes are scattered about.

At this moment, players crowded around a box that looked no different from the others in appearance.

[Strange Box]

Eye-catching red lettering floated above the box, attracting players like a bull seeing a red cape.

Strange?

Let me see just how strange you are!

The first player to discover the box picked it up.

The box was sturdy indeed, but in the face of players with power no less than a Weak Catastrophe, it was nothing.

Crack!

Hand ripping through the metal box.

The moment the box cracked open, the player who opened it realized they had struck gold.

[Mysterious Code]

[Quality]: Colorful

[Item Description]: The Origins Agreement creators unexpectedly discovered this mysterious cube in the endless Void Dimension. It possesses a sturdy exterior unbreakable even by the Void Lord. After prolonged research, the initial Seekers managed to extract some data from it by sheer luck. The data's format was extraordinarily elegant, leading them to believe it is code, but the intermittent nature of the code has prevented them from deciphering it entirely.

"This is it, found it, OHOHOHOH!"

The player holding the box danced with joy.

This was the most important task of their journey.

If they successfully brought this Mysterious Code box back to the Silent Alliance, they could gain a massive amount of Experience, free Advanced Knowledge, numerous Rare Items, an Evolution Gene Group, loads of Reputation and Contribution, as well as a direct decoration by Fufu, becoming Fleet Commander and Captain of the Special Action Department, commanding numerous spaceships and NPCs.

The rewards were so rich it was hard to believe they were genuine.

In stark contrast to the players' attitudes, the Origins Agreement members watching this scene through the headquarters' surveillance were shocked, including the rapidly approaching Child of Prophecy and Ignatius.

What the hell!

Stop, stop immediately!

Ignatius was about to explode with rage.

Transferring the Mysterious Code from the heavily defended secure file room to a regular warehouse was a command he issued shortly after he took leadership.

As the ancients said, the most dangerous place is the safest.

If the Mysterious Code were kept in the secure file room, anyone breaking in would immediately recognize its importance. Even if they didn't know what it was for, they would certainly strive to take it away.

But putting the Mysterious Code in an ordinary box, on an ordinary shelf in an ordinary warehouse, changed everything.

An ordinary person visiting there wouldn't notice any anomalies in the box if they didn't know the inside story.

Who would bother to open all the boxes here for no reason? It would be better to think about how to defend against the Origins Agreement's furious counterattack.

Ignatius thought this through well at the time, but now he was dumbfounded by the current situation.

Who could have imagined that years later, there would be a bizarre group in the starry sky, each one wielding cheats, and that this group would suddenly invade the Origins Agreement headquarters?

Others might not have the leisure to explore, but players are different.

Even without Bai Fu issuing a task, among the tens of millions of players, many would casually plunder the enemy's base during battle. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Who cares about this or that? I pick up bottle caps with delight; what's stopping me from taking this metal box?

If I can't carry everything, I'll clear out my backpack later, discarding low-value items to make space.

From the moment players breached the Origins Agreement headquarters, the Mysterious Code's fate was sealed.

Ignatius roared in anger.

As the former Emperor of the Imperial, even as a warrior, he had always maintained considerable personal virtues.

But ever since encountering Bai Fu and the players, his composure had slowly faded.

To hell with decorum.

He now only wanted to kill.

"What are you doing, go out, all of you go out, retrieve that program, if you fail, even if Bai Fu doesn't deal with you, I will!"

This...

Those berated by Ignatius looked extremely displeased.

Members of the Origins Agreement were all striving toward the same goal, but having the same goal didn't mean they respected each other.

For instance, the Lightless from the Superpower Garden had never accepted Ignatius as the new leader. He believed that if the previous leader had invested the resources in cultivating him instead of Ignatius, his power would not necessarily be inferior.

Threatened here, these people were naturally disgruntled.

Some hesitated to move, while others analyzed the situation and eventually proceeded outside.

That program indeed couldn't fall into Bai Fu's hands.

If Bai Fu could decipher the program and extract formidable information, they would be in deep trouble.

Dangerous as it might be.

From the day they joined the Origins Agreement, they had been dancing with death.

The doors opened, and a group went out.

Witnessing this, Ignatius sighed slightly.

His constant companion, Destiny Weaver, frowned.

"Leader, your words earlier were a bit excessive."

No matter the urgency of the situation, such threats to agreement members from a leader's position were highly inappropriate.
