When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

After handing over the operations to the people from the Star Network Sect, Bai Fu immediately piloted the spaceship back to the Initial Gate Star System Group's branch.

Not long after his return to the branch, An Ya and the others also came back one after another, handing over the queen template they had snatched during the mission to him.

Without a word, Bai Fu took the queen templates and everyone with him to Julia's laboratory.

The moment of witnessing a miracle had arrived!

She placed the six queen templates one by one in the glass cabinet, and the instant she finished, game notifications rang in her ears.

[You have completed the Hidden Task "Aggregation and Disintegration" and received a reward of 30 million Experience Points and one Life Blessing.]

Life Blessing is a one-time-use item that can temporarily double the Life Value upper limit of targets below the Catastrophe level for a duration of 12 hours.

The item may not make much difference to those with low durability, but for Bai Fu, whose Life Value upper limit is as high as 34,000, this was a true treasure.

"A Spiritual Ability Prayer Master with seventy thousand blood volume is invincible, right? Cecilia would tremble three times at the sight!"

But more than the Life Blessing, Bai Fu was concerned about the changes in the Dissociative Potion templates.

The moment the task notification sounded, the six queen templates in the glass cabinet seemed to come to life, automatically gathering together and beginning to fuse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Nothing will go wrong, right?"

The cautious Xia Shi nudged Bai Fu with her elbow, with her other hand already on her ray gun holstered at her waist, ready to interrupt the fusion process of the queen templates at any moment.

The others also felt their hearts hang in suspense at the sight, especially Julia, who had long known that the templates were active and had informed Bai Fu. But now it seemed that the templates were far more formidable than she had imagined.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong,"

Bai Fu reassured everyone.

Judging by the rewards for the "Aggregation and Disintegration" task, even if there was danger, it wouldn't harm her.

Minutes later, the six queen templates successfully fused into a fist-sized red sphere, which reflected the soft light of the laboratory and exuded a temperament that seemed unaffordable from the inside out.

"Is this, this, is this an insect egg?" Julia's eyes widened.

Upon closer examination, one could see that at the center of the red sphere was a black shadow the size of an ordinary human's little finger nail, resembling a curled-up larva.

Bai Fu nodded.

Indeed, it was an insect egg, but not just any insect egg—this one carried a plot and a task!

[Name]: Dark Domain Insect Clan Queen

[Template]: Special - Dark Domain Insect Queen (Egg) (Metamorphosis Progress 60%)

[Main Profession]: Gu Wormer Lv20 [+10]

[Secondary Profession]: None

[Life Value]: 100/100

[Attributes]: Power 1, Agility 1, Constitution 10, Intelligence 79, Spirit 250, Inspiration 30

[Skills]: None

[Talents]: Aggregation and Disintegration, Strong Luck

[Affinity]: Vigilant (16)

[Danger Level]: Green

After reviewing the data panel feedback from her Spiritual Vision, Bai Fu was dumbfounded.

A Gu Wormer? Dark Domain Insect Queen? Could this thing really be the Dark Domain Insect Queen?

That didn't seem right. Hadn't the Dark Domain Insect Queen formed an alliance with the Secret Tower to confront the Initial Gate Star System Group? How could she be here?

And even more absurd, why was her total level only 30, and with only a Life Value of 100 at that level?

Bai Fu felt that she could easily achieve the feat of a solo kill on the Dark Domain Insect Queen with just a little squeeze.

"Did the game bug out, causing errors in the Spiritual Vision's feedback data?"

Bai Fu, puzzled, scooped the insect egg out of the glass cabinet, and before her hand could withdraw, suddenly a majestic female voice echoed in her mind.

[The height of insolence, who allowed you to lay your hands on me? Release me at once!]

Bai Fu looked around to find that only she could hear the voice.

[It's you I'm talking to, insolent commoner. You dare to defile a queen; your actions are punishable by death. Now let me down, and I may forgive your insolence!]

What kind of a teenage edgelord fantasy was this?

Bai Fu held the insect egg up to her face, examining it with a perplexed expression.

"Are you really the Dark Domain Insect Queen?"

"What? The Dark Domain Insect Queen?"

Julia and the others were all stunned.

[Seeing as you are aware of my status, this will be much easier to resolve. Commoner, I wish to bestow upon you the riches of the heavens, a privilege only you can enjoy. Have everyone else leave us for a moment.]

Remembering the note on the "Aggregation and Disintegration" task, which mentioned that the next phase of the task would be unlocked depending on her actions, Bai Fu considered for a moment and then asked Julia and the others to leave, leaving her alone with this supposed Dark Domain Insect Queen egg.

She wanted to hear what this insect egg would say.

Click!

The moment the door closed, the insect egg rolled around in Bai Fu's palm.

[Commoner, I won't beat around the bush with you. I am indeed the Dark Domain Insect Queen, betrayed by traitorous insects. I not only lost my throne, but my body was also shattered into countless pieces, scattered across the starry sky. Only now have I revived, ready to live once more. I must reclaim what I lost! Commoner, your ability to collect six of my Power Beads proves some competence. If you can help me collect four more, aiding my hatching and transformation, and once I retrieve my ancestral divine artifact and slay the traitorous insects, I shall make you my Princess Consort!]

"..."

Did you borrow your script from "I, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Demand Tribute," or from "The Mad Thursday Revenge Plot of Kaifeng Cuisine"?

Bai Fu became even more speechless.

But if what this "Dark Domain Insect Queen" claimed was true, then all her previous doubts would be neatly explained.
