When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 298 - 125 Bai Fu’s Extraordinary Charm, Main Storyline Begins [2/2 Seeking Monthly Votes]

After posting the task to investigate the Truth Society and the Genetic Primordial, Bai Fu returned to her living quarters.

The assassin's corpse and the destruction caused by the fight were left for Sean and the others to handle. She, having just finished a fight, comfortably took a bath, then lay on the bed letting Little Black Fu massage her shoulders and feet.

In terms of massage, Little Black Fu wasn't professional, but due to its petite physique, the force it applied was just perfect for Bai Fu.

"This is life," Bai Fu uttered with content.

Little Julia, sprawled on the bedside table, couldn't resist teasing, "You really have the heart to let such an adorable thing rub your feet?"

With a light chuckle, Bai Fu replied, "If not it, then should I let you do it? So many people would love to but haven't had the chance."

It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Still, Little Julia ultimately didn't voice her true thoughts. She had already made Bai Fu wary of her, now was certainly not the time to give her another shock!

Of course, she wasn't craving Bai Fu's prison guard status; that stuff held no appeal for her. What she craved was Bai Fu herself. Ever since their first encounter, she had been eager to discover how Bai Fu broke free from her control.

Through their time together, watching helplessly as Bai Fu progressed from being unable to beat even her initial fake body to effortlessly slaughtering a high-level superpower user, her craving for Bai Fu had intensified. There was no way this was just about recovering strength; there must be a tantalizing secret hidden within Bai Fu!

It was only because she was now a rag doll, unable to move at all, that she didn't rush to push Little Black Fu aside and fiercely work over Bai Fu's feet, getting some cells for a thorough research back home.

As Little Julia was fantasizing about the future, Bai Fu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly let out a curious sound.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Fu didn't respond to Little Julia. She had been browsing the community and noticed that her feats had inadvertently created a massive advertising boost for the Spiritual Ability Profession.

Now many players saw the Spiritual Ability Profession as a boon for novices, calling her the "true Cyber Female Bodhisattva," the "savior of the clumsy," while they began heading to Bai Fu Town in droves.

It wasn't just outsiders who were influenced; players from the Silent Court also had their hearts set racing after seeing her gracefully handling the Illusionary Law Ball to thrash the assassin.

Many players who previously showed no interest in the Spiritual Ability Profession bought a Spiritual Ability Prayer Master Profession Knowledge Book and a couple of skills from the shop, since in total they only needed 2300 experience points.

This craze earned her more than a million experience points in a short time.

Bai Fu: "..."

Was this good news?

These players could certainly bring her a lot of experience points in the short term, but eventually, they were bound to realize that the Spiritual Ability Profession was not as simple as they had imagined.

But on second thought, it wasn't a huge issue.

In time, she could sell the Spiritual Ability Shield and Spiritual Ability Protection skills at the instance shop.

Even the less talented players of the Spiritual Ability Profession, armed with these two skills, could find their place in a player party more comfortably than if they were dealing damage.

And she could continue to expand the Black Fu Factory, allowing Little Black Fu to produce more Combat Prayer Cards to sell in the shop. This way, all the players in the Spiritual Ability Profession could demonstrate the same elegance in battle as she did.

What's that, not as elegant as her?

It must be because the players didn't spend enough money. If the players spent another seventy thousand at her shop, could they still be performing so poorly?

Bai Fu was in a good mood.

This also showed that her influence and appeal had indeed grown significantly. She must capitalize on this popularity, continue to push forward bravely and diligently, to prevent getting phased out and becoming the tears of an obsolete version once the game officially enters the Interstellar Era.

Little Julia witnessed the whole range of Bai Fu's emotions, and although Bai Fu didn't say it, she felt that someone was definitely going to be unlucky.

Despite Bai Fu's radiant and attractive appearance and her gentle, amiable demeanor in front of others, in reality, she had a rather bad personality. In contrast, Black Fu was usually silent and seemed a lot more honest than Bai Fu.

Throughout the recent period, she heard the Undying People say that Bai Fu and Black Fu together represented the Ghost Night Dominator, where Bai Fu constituted the gentle and kind aspect of the Ghost Night Dominator, and Black Fu represented the cunning and deceptive side. She could only say that if Bai Fu + Black Fu truly equaled the Ghost Night Dominator, then their roles were definitely switched.

Better keep this to herself though, or Bai Fu might kill her.

"By the way, do you really have no clue where you've been locked up?" Bai Fu suddenly asked.

Little Julia paused, then replied blankly, "I don't know."

Her mood seemed to dip; as much as she craved Bai Fu, the real question was, would her true body ever have the chance to meet Bai Fu?

Bai Fu nodded.

If deploying so many players out there and posting rewards on the Dark Web still couldn't find the true hiding place of the Truth Society, then perhaps she'd have to direct her focus onto the Genetic Primordial first.

…

While Bai Fu was joyfully accumulating experience, all the major powers received news from Bai Fu Town and the Dark Web.

Half a day ago, Bai Fu was attacked by someone claiming to be an assassin from the Truth Society. The assassin was a high-level superpower user, yet proved powerless against Bai Fu.

Just how formidable was Bai Fu's true strength had become a mystery.

How profoundly inscrutable this woman was!

The Old Republic and the Railroad Guild, being relatively close to the Goli Desert, received the news first.

The Railroad Guild's Su Li immediately contacted Bai Fu to offer her sympathy, while the Old Republic, given their conflict with Bai Fu over Beixim, had more to consider.

The Old Republic cheered upon hearing that Bai Fu had faced an attack from the Truth Society, glad to see someone else suffering not just them—and especially glad it was Bai Fu. However, when they realized that Bai Fu was unscathed and had even killed the assassin, their faces soured as if they had swallowed a fly.

Damn it, no need to report this kind of news in the future!

Subsequently, the Truth Society also received the news.

"This is a conspiracy!" Combat Department Director Bernardo made his report, "Someone intentionally sent an assassin to kill Bai Fu, aiming to intensify the conflict between Bai Fu and us completely."

"Bai Fu is strong, and she has so many of the Undying under her command. If she really holds a grudge against us, I fear we might be at a disadvantage."

Others murmured in agreement.

"How exactly did she tame those Undying? We've even used technological modification, yet the Undying we've recruited are only a tenth of hers."

"Maybe she has a superpower for charming, or the Undying just like someone who looks like her."

The voices in the conference room were low and serious, and the atmosphere was grave.

The Truth Society Chairman, receiving the report, also had a grim expression—not because Bai Fu had made an aggressive move against the Truth Society, but because he had seriously underestimated her power.

If he had known how powerful Bai Fu was, he should have made a greater effort to win her over.

As for now... it could only be considered a pity.

Given the chance, he still wanted to meet Bai Fu again to see where her extraordinary charm truly came from.

The Chairman looked around the room, "There's no need to worry. She doesn't know where our main base is or our action plans. Even if she gets the news right as we officially take action, it will be too late, and once our plan succeeds, neither she nor those Undying will ever be a threat to us again."

These words slightly reassured everyone in the conference room.

That made sense.

They began to carry out the orders issued by the Chairman, preparing for the final action to raid the Genetic Primordial.

In no time, the entire main base of the Truth Society bustled with activity. Even the players who were brought in as experiment subjects, like Master Tai'er, were temporarily pulled from the labs to help move stuff around.

"What's going on?"

Master Tai'er asked an NPC beside him with curiosity.

The NPC cursed at him irritably, "Don't ask what you shouldn't!"

Master Tai'er pouted and continued moving things. After about half an hour, he overheard the NPC who had scolded him earlier complaining to another NPC.

"I haven't left the main base for a long time, and now I've suddenly been drafted for this operation. Sigh, I just hope everything goes smoothly."

"Don't worry, do you not have faith in the Chairman's power?"

Master Tai'er froze in place; he could no longer pay attention to what those two NPCs were saying afterward.

What had he just heard?

The place he was in was the main base of the Truth Society?

And here he had been plotting on how to find out the location of the Truth Society's main base, unaware that he was already there—better late than never to discover this treasure.

He was on to a fortune, on to a fortune! After playing undercover for an entire version, his chance had finally come!

Master Tai'er suppressed the excitement in his heart with effort. He didn't want to expose his identity due to a small oversight that could undo all his work.

He pretended as if he had heard nothing and continued moving things while subtly contacting Digging Girl.

[Treasure Hunt, Treasure Hunt, I have very important news to tell you. Reply when you see this.]

...

The evening after the assassination attempt, Bai Fu received a message from the Iron Rain Guild.

A player from the Iron Rain Guild had successfully contacted Xia Shi and gained her trust, after which Xia Shi had sent a player to deliver an item.

"It's a document," reported Old Dog, a high-ranking member of the Iron Rain Guild staying in Bai Fu Town. "Xia Shi said it's related to the origin of Spiritual Energy on Ancestral Origin Star. Because the document is extremely important, we didn't open it. We're trying to figure out how to send it back now."

Bai Fu's eyes brightened.

The task she had received while still in the Lynn Settlement, [Origin of Spiritual Energy], could she finally complete it?

"How is Xia Shi's situation right now?" she asked.

Old Dog replied, "She is the head of a laboratory now and seems to be doing well."

Bai Fu nodded, "Get that document back here as soon as possible. It may be related to the truth behind Ancestral Origin Star's current state."

This made Old Dog's pupils shrink, which could mean the document was likely related to one of the main storylines.

Now, if they could successfully bring back the document, they would surely be able to overshadow the Loyalty Hall next door on this mission!

Old Dog left in high spirits.

For Bai Fu, the good news was just beginning.

After spending two versions building up her popularity, she finally reaped a double harvest of experience and intelligence in version 1.2.

After Old Dog left, several players brought her new intelligence related to the Genetic Primordial, half of which came from players who belonged to the Genetic Primordial Camp. After seeing how well the Silent Court was treated and how strong and beautiful she was as the Silent Court Master, they turned traitor and leaked the information.

This was the power of the Popularity Harvesting Girl!

In just half a day, without leaving her home, Bai Fu had already grasped the specific locations and heads of numerous Genetic Primordial laboratories and military factories. She had a rough understanding of the high-level superpower users in the Genetic Primordial and even learned that they had created many Artificial Humans using secret technologies from the Ocean Life Research Institute.

"What the hell does this unlucky entity want to do, secretly building an army of Artificial Humans?"

Bai Fu was very curious.

While she contemplated this, Digging Girl, who came to interview her, brought even more explosive news.

"Fufu, we've found the location of the Truth Society's main base!"
