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

After raising her Total Level to 110, Bai Fu was brimming with confidence in her current power.

With all enhancements activated, her Inspiration Attribute could spike to 2138 points. Although this state could only last for 3 minutes, unless her opponent had special life-saving measures like Cecilia, 3 minutes was more than enough to take down the majority of S+ rank adversaries.

Now, when she clashed with the Secret Tower, as long as she wasn't besieged by a group of S+ ranks from the tower or blocked by a Catastrophe Level, she could easily retreat even if she couldn't win.

It was not easy to enhance her power; if she didn't find something to do, wouldn't that power upgrade be wasted?

The first thing that Bai Fu thought of was to help the Dark Domain Insect Queen gather four extra Dissociative Potion progenitors.

She was very interested in the plot involved in this main task, but what interested her even more was the [Spirit Origin of the Dark Domain Insect Queen] in the rewards.

According to the Dark Domain Insect Queen, this item could significantly boost the Spirit Attribute, whether for her own use or for Fei Ye's. It would help them break free from the erratic erosion of Voidification and evolve their race into [Prophet].

She planned to give the Spirit Origin to Fei Ye when the time came.

From her entrance into the Starry Sky, Fei Ye had helped her a lot, even gambling with her own life at one point. It was impossible for her not to feel moved.

Bai Fu could tell that Fei Ye didn't speak of it, but she was actually very worried about the control of Void Blood within her own body.

Solving this long-standing issue for Fei Ye as soon as possible was both a way to repay Fei Ye's kindness and to strengthen the power of their own side.

The Oath Lord had said that once free from the troubles of Void Blood, Fei Ye had the potential to advance to Catastrophe Level. With a Catastrophe Level being present, the Silent Court and civilizations like the Star Network at the Star System Level could negotiate on equal terms from a stance of power.

However, now there was a serious problem before Bai Fu—

Where to find the remaining four progenitors?

Cecilia had already told her everything she knew, and after Bai Fu's previous raid, the Secret Tower would undoubtedly have become more vigilant.

"Let's see if those players undercover in the Secret Tower can dig up some information. If not, we'll have to be proactive and start interrogating the Tower's people directly."

Bai Fu had Digging Girl relay the message to initiate a task for a select few reliable undercover players to investigate the whereabouts of the progenitors while instructing other undercover players to closely watch every move of the Secret Tower, to see what exactly they were researching with that species of insects.

"Fufu, rest assured, the task will be completed!"

Digging Girl readily accepted the assignment.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Before new intelligence arrived on her side, players following Cecilia sent in crucial information.

After two months, these players finally found that NPC who returned to the biological laboratory ruin every year.

"His name is Didi'er. We found him on a planet called Tower Peak Star in the Chaotic Star Road. When we first discovered him, he was eating dirt."

Eating dirt?

Bai Fu was momentarily stunned.

After a detailed explanation from the players, she came to understand that by eating dirt, he was indeed literally consuming soil.

Didi'er had gone mad.

When the players found him, he was in a state of madness, squatting on the ground, digging the earth with his bare hands, chuckling 'heh heh heh' while digging. After a fits of laughter, he would start crying 'woo woo', constantly muttering "sorry." Whenever this happened, he would promptly scoop up the dirt and stuff it into his mouth.

It was fortunate that among the players who found him, several were from the Spiritual Sect. They managed to calm him down and extract lots of useful information from him.

Before the destruction of the biological laboratory, Didi'er was the head of the inspection department, so he knew many secrets of the laboratory.

Such as the fact that the lab had received funding from the Secret Tower long ago and was one of its loyal partners.

And that the lab had originally been conducting research on Mutant Beasts, only starting human experiments on fusion with beasts under the funding from the Secret Tower and the instructions from the advanced research supervisor Liu Yedao of the Secret Tower.

Another was that the Secret Tower attacked the lab because one of its supply sources was accidentally captured, fearfully exposing the lab and thus jeopardizing their own plans, the Secret Tower decided to destroy the lab directly.

During the destruction of the laboratory, the Secret Tower killed many people within it. Didi'er was also on the death list, but due to his family member being ill, he was not present at the lab, thus escaping the disaster.

However, afterwards, the Secret Tower did not intend to let him go, deploying a force to pursue and kill him relentlessly. During the escape, his family's illness worsened, and he could do nothing. To show his face meant death, and he could only watch helplessly as his family died before him. As the pursuit by the Secret Tower was so pressing, in the end, he did not even have time to bury the deceased family members before he hurriedly fled elsewhere.

The chase lasted a whole three months, and by the time the Secret Tower finally halted their pursuit, he had already gone mad from fear and guilt towards his family.

However, Didi'er's madness was not complete; he would occasionally regain his sanity, which was why he would visit the ruins of the biological laboratory annually.

He went there to repent, believing that such misfortune had befallen him because he participated in the human experiments, and this was retribution.
