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

Secret Tower, headquarters.

Crash!

The sound of a cup shattering emanated from the office, and those standing at the door and passing by became as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to breathe a word.

Although the housekeeper inside the office hadn't spoken a word, everyone knew why he was angry.

It was all damn Bai Fu's fault!

Just a few minutes earlier, the spokesperson for the Star Network had held a press conference and offered a brief explanation of the attack on Xiu Dun Star.

The unrest, which had just begun, caught the attention of countless people.

The reason was simple: Xiu Dun Star was in the core ruling area of the Star Network, only a few hours of regular travel from Bikong Star, the home star of the Star Network.

If the Secret Tower could attack Xiu Dun Star, then was it capable of directly hitting Bikong Star?

Many thought so and believed that the attack led by Bangula was a show of force to the Star Network, indicating their capability of executing a Beheading Action against the top echelons of the Star Network and wiping them out in one fell swoop.

The impact of this event was quite severe.

Many large corporations from other civilizations in commerce with the Star Network immediately contacted the Star Network Business Department after seeing the emergency news, hoping for a reliable statement, or else they would consider temporarily evacuating the Star Network. No one wanted to see their hard-built industries ruined by a Secret Tower attack.

However, just as everyone was anxiously waiting, suddenly, more news came through—

The unrest on Xiu Dun Star had been quelled, and the person who did it was the famous "Saintess Bai Fu"!

What, Bai Fu again?

The receivers of the news were shocked; they had no idea how Bai Fu had appeared on Xiu Dun Star, let alone how she had thwarted the Secret Tower's invasion.

As the Star Network held its press conference and the Star Network spokesperson publicly released Bai Fu's combat video at the briefing, connecting live with Bai Fu, everything became clear.

It was too exaggerated!

It was already astonishing that Bai Fu had severely injured Bangula, an S+ level superpower user, with a single strike, but that paled in comparison to taking a spaceship's main cannon fire with her body—it was just an appetizer!

Since when could Spiritual Ability Prayer Masters, known for their fragility, withstand cannon fire? Fine, withstand it if you must, but why not even a scratch?

The crowd was astounded.

Some reporters were so shocked that they put on a display of dramatic expressions live on camera.

But at this point, no one blamed them for their lack of professionalism because the audience watching the news was too stunned to notice the reporters' expressions.

"I think my investment is about to pay off big time."

Andras, the current helmsman of the Origin Consortium who had recently given Bai Fu ten million, had lost his composure. He was staring intently at Bai Fu, who was answering questions from reporters, feeling he no longer needed to observe Bai Fu for another year.

"I wasn't thinking much at the time; I just instinctively positioned myself in front of those two ship cannons."

"You ask how I felt when I was hit by the cannon fire? It hurt a bit, kind of like An Ya rubbing me down during a bath and accidentally using a bit too much force. Is that an exaggeration? Haha, maybe a little; at least An Ya's rubdowns never blew my shoes off."

Her humorous and lighthearted way of answering questions, along with a youthful and vibrant smile, left a profound impression on those watching the news.

[Bai Fu]

This name rapidly climbed to the top of the hot search lists in both the Initial Gate Star System Group and the player community.

Everyone was discussing Bai Fu.

She instinctively jumped in front of the ship cannons, which shows her inherent goodness; it wasn't an act.

Feeling about the same as being rubbed down after being hit by a cannon suggests she's very strong, possibly having advanced to Catastrophe Level.

[So strong, unbeatable, that's Fufu, so cool!]

[I'm officially envious of An Ya, I want a rubdown too]

[What brand are Fufu's shoes that they remained unscathed after being hit by a ship cannon, invincible! If I could collect a pair of those shoes, I could play for a lifetime, any way I want]

An NPC that wants to attract players' attention needs to be good-looking, powerful, possess catchy catchphrases, and have iconic scenes. Bai Fu blocking ship cannon fire with her body to save Ulyssians is indeed an iconic scene!

Players who had joined Silent Court were optimistic and felt proud.

[Does your camp's master have such prowess?]

Many players who had previously been indifferent to Bai Fu were now intrigued.

[Even though Bai Fu isn't a giant X, completely off from my XP, but... this time, I don't care, guys wait for me, I'll pledge my allegiance to you once I enter the Star Sea]

[Bu Shengmen, having D and still not considered giant? What kind of games do you play?]

Taking advantage of Bai Fu's surge in popularity, the Star Network's spokesperson then announced to the public, "Bangula has been captured alive." As for the matter of Reynolds colluding with the Secret Tower, it was brushed aside with the announcement that Reynolds needed to undergo an internal investigation, whose results would be announced later.

The news of an S+ level superpower user from the Secret Tower being captured alive made this explosive headline even more sensational.

Most people in the Initial Gate Star System Group were incredibly uplifted upon hearing the news, feeling as if the demise of the Secret Tower seemed within reach.

The rest, such as those from the Secret Tower, were distressed.

It wasn't just the housekeeper who was enraged, the Lord of the Secret Tower was even more furious, but because the housekeeper seldom lost his temper, it scared the members of the Secret Tower around him.

Contrary to what everyone thought, the housekeeper had not lost his composure and smashed things because Bai Fu had beaten Bangula badly.

He was indeed angry when he first saw Bai Fu's smiling face in the news and heard Bai Fu's description of the ship cannon hit feeling similar to a rubdown, but he was still able to hold in his emotions.
