When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 40 - 28 Bai Fu, True Friend of Players [Two in One, Seeking Follow-Up Reads]_2

Just as Digging Girl was about to say something, the game prompt suddenly chimed in.

[You have triggered the task "Collect Poison Sacks"]

[Task Introduction:...]

[Task Object: Collect Type II Amoeba Poison Sacks]

[Reward: For each Type II Amoeba Poison Sack collected, 100 Experience points, An Ya affinity +1]

Digging Girl froze, and the next second, she excitedly shared the task interface to the livestream.

Digging Girl: [Yikes, a task, I've triggered a task, hahaha!]

[Are you okay Digging? It's just a task, not like you won the lottery.]

[This reward isn't that high, if I'm not mistaken, the Type II Amoeba is a level 4 monster, but here a poison sack only gives 100 Experience points]

[True, I've fought that monster, its Blood Volume isn't high, but a spit of its venom and I lose a third of my blood.]

Digging Girl: [Youngsters, you're all too young, do you really think the value of this task lies in those 100 Experience points?]

This comment completely baffled the livestream audience.

Digging Girl: [Sigh, to think you all claim to be disciples of the Fu Sect, Experience points and the like are not important at all, haven't you realized this is the first task we triggered here with Fufu and An Ya?]

Wow, is that actually true?

Digging Girl, smugly: [Wait till I boost An Ya's affinity, then I'll be able to delve deeper into understanding Fufu and trigger Fufu's storyline tasks, hahahahaha]

With her laughter, the number of comments in the livestream multiplied several times.

Some were shouting "Damn, awesome", some expressing envy and jealousy, some just flipping out, and others quickly ran towards her location.

Damn, how could they let Digging Girl monopolize this moment? I must be the first to trigger the hidden task!

"Hey." At this point, An Ya waved her hand in front of Digging Girl's eyes, "You zoned out?"

Digging Girl regained her composure: "No no no, I'm helping you, but I'm not strong enough alone, I thought of calling a few more people."

An Ya's eyes lit up: "Of course that's no problem, but, are you really going to help me?"

Digging Girl responded: "Absolutely, by the way, can you promise me something?"

An Ya instinctively stepped back, warily eyeing Digging Girl.

Digging Girl quickly said, "It's nothing bad, just that I'd like you not to tell Fufu about what's happening now but wait until the poison sacks are collected to give her a surprise."

"I thought you were going to say something serious, just this then? I'll try my best, but if the boss can't sit still and insists on going to the Pollution Zone, I might have to spill the beans early."

"That's absolutely no problem."

An Ya gave Digging Girl a few more glances: "You're quite a nice person, thank you, how should I address you?"

Haha, the affinity must have definitely increased just now!

Digging Girl, grinning until her eyes turned crescent: "Just call me Sister Digging Girl, and here, let me help you ask around and see if there's any poison sack for sale."

An Ya did not refuse, and as the two of them asked around on the streets, more and more players came running.

Without exception, all these players received the task from An Ya.

Digging Girl wasn't worried at all, as she had no intention to keep the news secret; being the first was enough for her!

[Let's go, let's go hunt the Type II Amoeba in the Pollution Zone now.]

[Hold on, let me buy some Antibiotics first, this might increase our survival chances a bit.]

Among the bustling noise, a large group of players headed toward the Pollution Zone.

An Ya hurriedly ran to the previously arranged meeting point with Bai Fu.

"Boss, you're so awesome, you got them to eagerly do the work without spending a penny!"

She began to wonder if Bai Fu was the legendary Charming Demon constitution.

If that was the case, could they not set up a factory, letting these out-of-towners work for free?

Bai Fu patted An Ya on the head: "Calm down, calm down."

As she had thought, after arranging a Quartermaster task for An Ya, An Ya could indeed issue tasks to players, and from then on, their scheme to exploit player's efforts added a new tactic.

Both An Ya's released tasks and Digging Girl's wild guesses contributed majorly to this success.

Upon careful analysis, Digging Girl's contribution was a bit greater; not only did she spark off a brainstorming session in the livestream upon receiving the task, but in the days prior, she also kept instilling the idea that "Bai Fu has hidden tasks" in other players.

If not for this, those players in the livestream wouldn't have believed her bluff and come to work for free.

"Digging Girl's gaming skills are pretty lame, but just for her wild imagination alone, she's worth nurturing."

Bai Fu viewed players as her level-up boosters; she would exploit various benefits from them, but she wouldn't hesitate to cultivate players with potential, since only through this could she better glean advantages from these players.

Of course, the prerequisite for nurturing players was that the player would not betray her for some other benefits.

Clearly, Digging Girl met these criteria; as a game UP and livestreamer, Digging Girl's popularity was now deeply tied to her, the more formidable she became, the higher Digging Girl's prominence rose.

Apart from Digging Girl, the publicity champion, Bai Fu was also planning to cultivate a few other players capable of providing a certain level of combat power, making these players role models to attract others to fight for her.

Relying solely on popularity to maintain a good relationship with players was a bit unstable; it is better to add some benefit exchange as seasoning.
