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

"The issue involves internal strife within the Dark Domain Insect Clan, and the partnership between the Dark Domain Insect Clan and the Secret Tower. Considering that the Dark Domain Clan Insect Queen possesses the Strong Luck Talent, the task on her might very well be a main task."

Bai Fu's eyes lit up.

However, the current problem was that the damn insect's attitude was extremely bad. She clearly wanted Bai Fu's help but wasn't willing to offer any substantive benefits, only proposing to make her a Princess, making interstellar jokes, and literally drawing pie in the sky for Bai Fu.

Tasks that only offered experience rewards hardly moved Bai Fu anymore. She had ways to exploit the Players. Her desire for the main task was not as intense as when she was on Ancestral Origin Star. She already had Vic under her command, and as long as she performed brilliantly, the things she did had the chance to become part of the main task in the next version update. Thus, she really didn't need to painstakingly grind for the Dark Domain Clan Insect Queen's affinity.

She was here to complete tasks, not to serve ancestors!

The insect egg, unclear about what Bai Fu was planning and thinking Bai Fu was impressed by her offer, suddenly became prideful.

[Commoner, didn't expect me to give you such a generous reward, did you? Bow down and thank me quickly.]

[Right, put me down now. From hereon without my permission, you are not allowed to touch me. No matter what, I am still the Queen. Don't I have any dignity? After thanking me, remember to help me find a nest. I know you're probably poor, so my requirements are low, just build it from Fire Spring Stone.]

Bai Fu was full of question marks.

No, girl, do you really not understand the situation?

"This is my house, I'm the Queen here!"

The insect egg froze; if she wasn't mistaken, she seemed to have been retorted.

What's happening!

[Well, well, you Commoner, I see you don't have any respect for me at all. Don't think just because you saved me, you can do whatever you want. I am still a body of the Dominator. If I exert even one percent of my power, I can flatten and round you up!]

Damn, so arrogant?

If you were really a Dominator, that would be another story, but now you're just a ball with only 100 health, should I be scared?

Bai Fu also got angry.

You really need to be taught a lesson, now you're even threatening me!

She made a motion to crush the insect egg.

Unexpectedly, the insect egg didn't fall for that bluff.

[Crush me, go on, crush. A treacherous insect backstabbed me, now even a commoner threatens me, do you think I'd be scared? Impossible, I will come back. That traitorous insect couldn't kill me, and neither can you!]

So confident?

Bai Fu glanced again at the insect egg's attribute panel, her eyes landing on the Aggregation and Disintegration Talent, then understood where the insect egg's confidence came from.

This unique talent meant that even if the Dark Domain Clan Insect Queen were killed, she wouldn't truly die. As long as five or more Power Beads were gathered, she would immediately resurrect on the spot. And to thoroughly destroy the Power Beads formed after her death was no simple matter.

Even the new queen, who usurped the position through betrayal, couldn't do it. Bai Fu didn't think she could do it either, but just because she couldn't, didn't mean others couldn't.

"Ordinary people indeed find it hard to kill you, but what if they are Super Supreme Level Superpower Users? Coincidently, I happen to know one such Superpower User—the Oath Lord. If I hand you over to the Oath Lord, do you think the Oath Lord can kill you?"

The insect egg panicked instantly.

[You covet the benefits I promised, but show no respect for me; you don't even want to call me Queen, is that reasonable? That's really too much!]

"Too much? Stop it, I'm just trying to tell you, if you want someone to do something, show the attitude of asking for help! And all that talk about becoming a Princess, you think I care about that title? Whoever wants it can have it."

The insect egg trembled with frustration but couldn't utter a word in retort.

Doesn't she know she's drawing pie in the sky?

But she was helpless; she had been reduced to this state, what good could she possibly offer.

What, offering part of her wealth as a reward after reclaiming her queenship?

The Insect Egg was so choked up it could no longer speak.

Bai Fu was taken aback. "Seriously, you're like the reincarnation of a miser, not even willing to offer a little benefit?"

"Looks like you're all talk about revenge and have no real plan. Fine, I'll just turn you back into the Dissociative Potion's original form."

[Stop!]

The Insect Egg urgently cried out, stopping Bai Fu as she was about to crush her.

Bai Fu quietly waited for her to offer new terms. After what felt like an eternity, the Insect Egg suddenly shouted.

[That's not how they do it on TV!]

"?"

After some questioning, Bai Fu found out that there were two reasons why the Queen of the Dark Domain Insect Clan was so Chūnibyō.

For one thing, she was actually quite young, comparable to a teenage human girl, not much different from An Ya.

On the other side, while she was the queen, she watched a lot of TV dramas produced by Edge World and Rebirth Empire, especially those court dramas from the Rebirth Empire, supposedly to deepen her understanding of humanoid life. Bai Fu wasn't sure how much she had learned, but she was definitely brainwashed by those dramas.

It seemed absurd, but upon reflection, it wasn't all that far-fetched, especially since it started with a previous power transfer within the Dark Domain Insect Clan.

The queen's mother had died very early, so that she had to ascend to the throne before reaching maturity. On her deathbed, her mother told her not to provoke the forces of Edge World, which she remembered firmly, halting all invasions of the explored universe by the Dark Domain Insect Clan and instead trying to learn about the civilizations of the explored universe. However, lacking reliable guidance, she picked things up randomly and got it all wrong—talking about 'commoners' and 'queen's etiquette.'

Within the Dark Domain Insect Clan, many intelligent insects were dissatisfied with her succession. Seeing her mismanaging things, an ambitious Dark Domain Insect stood up, accused her of undermining the foundations of the clan, claiming that it was going to educate her on behalf of her mother.

In reality, this 'education' was an assassination and coup to take her queenly position and then dismember her.

After these events, the ambitious Dark Domain Insect collaborated with Secret Tower, which supposedly assisted in disposing of her body. Whether Secret Tower couldn't manage it or had ulterior motives, they disguised her power bead as the mother form of the Dissociative Potion and distributed them among their controlled factions.

Years passed until Bai Fu appeared, who finally saw a glimmer of revival.

The Chūnibyō Queen actually wanted to offer more benefits to attract Bai Fu to work for her, but she felt that even if she successfully got her revenge, it was unlikely that she could return to her throne. The reason was simple: before she ascended the throne, the Dark Domain Insect Clan kept attacking the explored universe. After she took power, she stopped all invasions, angering most of the intelligent Dark Domain Insects. Without their support, what could she do even if she did kill that treacherous insect?

No turning back.

"Do you think that you probably won't be queen again, so you're afraid to promise too much?" Bai Fu nodded thoughtfully, "As a queen of the Dark Domain Insect Clan, your abilities must be exceptional, right..."

She explained the function of the mother forms to the Chūnibyō Queen.

The Chūnibyō Queen quickly explained that it was a special ability of the Insect Queen, capable of permanently enhancing one's spiritual power.

While talking, she suddenly noticed that Bai Fu had accumulated many spiritual mutations.

[If you help me hatch, I can further enhance your spiritual power!]

As soon as those words were spoken, Bai Fu received a notification.

[You have triggered the main task [Dark Domain Insect Clan Conflict (Part I)]]

[Task Introduction:...]

[Task Objective: Help the Dark Domain Insect Clan Queen collect four more Dissociative Potion mother forms]

[Reward: 24 million experience points, The Dark Domain Insect Clan Queen's Spirit Origin]

It definitely was a main task!

Bai Fu nodded satisfactorily, Great, great, great, this reward is exactly to her taste. With this, she could significantly improve Fei Ye's spirit attributes, and with improved spirit attributes, Fei Ye should be able to advance to Catastrophe level smoothly.

A Catastrophe-level thigh to hold onto, want to hold, love to hold.

"Deal!"
