When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 51 - 32 Bai Fu’s Evil Upgrade Method [Trilogy for More Follows]_3
"Kill them!"
The battle reignited, and the Wildfire Gang devolved into utter chaos.
Yago and Xia Shi kept adjusting their positions, attempting to shoot Julia, but Julia's Perception Ability was terrifyingly strong; she always managed to calculate the angle of their shots in advance and then control other players to shield her from gunfire. While fending off Yago and Xia Shi, she still had the concentration to manipulate other players to attack them.
At that moment, she stood poised at the shadowy doorway, her ice-blue hair dancing in the glow of the fluorescent lights—like an adept Puppet Master, yet also like an eloquent symphony conductor, exuding indescribable elegance.
"Damn it, is this what a special effects player looks like?"
Bai Fu thought that if her skill effects were as cool as Julia's, she would have probably surpassed that giant mecha in popularity by now.
Who doesn't love to play cool in games?
She pushed these thoughts aside; after observing for so long, she realized that the biggest limitation of Julia's "Spirit Master" skill was not that the target's Inspiration Attribute had to be below 15, but the range.
"It's only effective within 30 meters; beyond that distance, it won't work."
This was good news for Yago and Xia Shi but not so much for Bai Fu since she lacked long-range attacks.
Although she had acquired a gun from Cao Wenliang earlier, her Gun Skills were indeed nothing to boast about. If in a closer range she could manage, but beyond thirty meters, the distance became too much of a test for her aim.
If she had an abundance of bullets, she could have opted for a saturation attack, but now she only had two bullets left.
"Who can two bullets kill?"
First to be ruled out was Julia. With Julia's strong Perception Ability, even Yago and Xia Shi couldn't hit her, let alone Bai Fu.
Bai Fu locked onto No. 9 as her target.
Despite No. 9 being beaten up by players earlier, it wasn't because he was weak but because he hadn't expected players to attack him. Strictly speaking about melee, he was actually stronger than Yago, so it was best to take him out early to prevent him from recovering and becoming a major threat.
There was another benefit to taking him out—Bai Fu had already amassed 8,755 Experience points, and by finishing No. 9, the gained experience would be enough for her to level up again. She could then boost her Inspiration Attribute to 15 in one go, exempting herself from Julia's control.
Could she make the shot?
Bai Fu placed her hand on the gun.
If not necessary, she really didn't want to stand out because that might provoke the colossus, Truth Society.
But now the Truth Society showed no mercy, driving her down a path of no return. She had no choice but to fight back hard.
Bai Fu stealthily injected No. 9 with a shot of Fervor into his stomach.
She didn't use her skill on Julia. The moment her Spiritual Vision failed against Julia, she had a hunch, and now her suspicions were confirmed—
Julia was a Spiritual Energy genius, with an Inspiration Attribute of at least 20. Her skills would most likely not affect Julia. Even if they did, Julia would instantly notice, making Bai Fu a primary target.
"Just a few more minutes."
Bai Fu squinted her eyes, slowly adjusting her position.
Under Julia's control, players fought each other fiercely.
It must be said Julia's Blue Bar was truly long; Bai Fu roughly estimated that she had controlled more than thirty players by now, but she still seemed to do it with ease. It appeared that relying on sheer numbers to wear Julia down wouldn't work.
As the battle raged on, Yago and Xia Shi grew increasingly desperate. They'd killed seven players in a row with no damage dealt to Julia. Was that woman a monster?
The players' morale also began to wane.
The difficulty level of this team dungeon was too high. After encountering two powerful NPCs, they still couldn't win. Now, they could only hope that the players who saw Digging Girl's live stream would arrive quickly.
Right, Fufu had also been lurking nearby, surely with some plan in mind.
Time slowly passed by.
Bai Fu kept her gaze fixed on No. 9, and at one moment, she suddenly noticed No. 9 subconsciously reaching out to hold his stomach.
Now!
Fervor Enhancement for the eyes, enhancing her vision; Fervor Enhancement for both hands, steadying her grip on the gun.
Bai Fu swiftly drew her gun.
The first shot aimed at No. 9's chest.
Bang!
The bullet hit No. 9's left shoulder.
"-9"
The second shot aimed at number nine's chest again.
Bang!
The bullet whizzed past a player's armpit and hit number nine straight in the heart.
"-47"
It was a red critical hit, the shot inflicted number nine with a severe bleeding injury.
"Got him!"
Bai Fu clenched her left fist tightly, and although the two shots didn't kill number nine directly, the bleeding alone was enough to seal number nine's fate.
"Good job!"
Yago and Xia Shi were overjoyed at the sight.
Players also started shouting, "Fufu is awesome!"
How could this happen?
Number nine clutched at his chest in disbelief. In his wildest dreams, he wouldn't have imagined being shot in the heart at such a crucial moment. He had been on guard against those two, but he hadn't expected someone to be hiding like an old silver coin on the side.
Am I going to die?
No, absolutely not, how could he so easily die here!
Number nine struggled to pull out another injection potion from his pocket and without hesitation, jabbed it into his neck.
"Number nine!" Julia's face changed.
A sudden sense of foreboding surged in Bai Fu's heart, and she quickly used Spiritual Vision on number nine.
[Name]: Number Nine (Elite) (Mutation Progress 38%...41%...100%)
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
When the mutation progress bar filled up, number nine's body began to distort grotesquely, and in just a few seconds, he turned into a purple-skinned monster with a twisted body.
His body was covered in cysts, just barely resembling a human form.
But that wasn't the worst part, becoming a mutant monster had increased his blood bar, and the bleeding status had also disappeared.
[Life Value]: 131/310
Even though he was still severely injured, he wasn't going to die anytime soon.
If he didn't die, Bai Fu wouldn't get experience, and without experience, she couldn't level up. If she couldn't level up, she wouldn't be exempt from the Spirit Master skill.
"Ah ah ah—"
The mutated number nine let out a thunderous roar.
Julia shook her head, using Spirit Master to control number nine first, as he had lost his sanity. If she didn't control him, she too might come under attack.
Actually, this was not a bad thing. Now, she had gained another fighter.
However...
Julia's gaze fell on Bai Fu.
Their eyes met for the first time.
Was she being targeted?
Bai Fu looked at the players still brawling with each other, and with the situation as it was, she could only resort to that unorthodox method.
Even though number nine had died, who said there were no "monsters" here to provide her with leveling experience? There were plenty of players around, weren't there?
Players' levels had increased a lot since before, and now one player should be able to provide her with 200-400 experience points.
Just killing ten players would allow her to level up, and if she could take out sixty players, she might have the chance to max out her Spiritual Ability Apprentice level!
In the past, she certainly wouldn't dare to kill players indiscriminately, even in an urgent situation, but now things were different.
"Julia does have the Spirit Master skill, after all."
Intentionally letting Julia control her, then killing players, she not only could earn experience but also didn't have to worry about losing players' affinity. Once she had accumulated enough experience, she would level up and break free from her restraints. This was Bai Fu's Evil Upgrade Method!
