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

Secret Tower was all set up, just waiting for Bai Fu's cooperation.

But at this time, Bai Fu wasn't playing by the rules anymore, she settled down on Bikong Star, spending her days either giving interviews or meeting with various forces enjoying her relations networking, appearing in the news one or two times every day.

This made it impossible for the Secret Tower members who ambushed her midway to make a move.

Charge directly into Bikong Star?

Secret Tower had the power, but doing so was too risky, once tangled, they would face attacks like tidal waves from all directions. A single Star Network wasn't scary, but when support from forces like Tidal Civilization, Heavenly Eye Alliance arrived, the Secret Tower might just be finished.

"Does she plan to keep hiding on Bikong Star, or is she waiting for someone to pick her up?"

The housekeeper was somewhat irritated.

With nothing else to do, he could only have his subordinates continue to spread the news that Bai Fu was a bad woman.

Unfortunately, all his efforts had become useless because Cecilia hadn't been online lately and had no idea what he was up to.

Before the handover between Bai Fu and the fleet sent by the Star Network Sect, everyone except Bai Fu and Julia had already quietly boarded a spaceship and left Xiu Dun Star, their target was Wood provided by Reynolds.

"We have reached the planet where Wood left the secret sign."

"We have left a secret sign for Wood."

"We..."

Every day, Fei Ye and Cecilia would report their progress to Bai Fu. They, too, were old hands, and though they might not seem very clever, it was not difficult for them to deal with Wood, who was far less powerful, especially when they had the cunning An Ya to strategize for them. If really stumped, Bai Fu could also offer some ideas.

On the eighth day after splitting up, Bai Fu received a message from Fei Ye.

"Wood has been successfully captured. After a sudden interrogation, he confessed the location of the progenitor."

It began!

Bai Fu clenched her fists.

Wood held a high position in Secret Tower, and his role was crucial. It wouldn't take long for Secret Tower to notice his disappearance.

She hoped that what she'd been doing these days would successfully attract Secret Tower's attention and buy as much time as possible for Fei Ye and Cecilia to collect the progenitor of the Dissociative Potions.

If this attempt failed, they might have to attack Secret Tower directly to complete the task from the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress, which would be suicidal given her current power, especially since Secret Tower had Catastrophe Levels guarding it.

Bai Fu anxiously awaited.

During her wait, several pieces of good news arrived in succession.

First, Andras from Origin Consortium contacted her again, stating that he fully recognized her performance and wanted to reach further cooperation with her.

As the God of Wealth was coming to her door with money, Bai Fu naturally had no intention of refusing. However, she made a new request, hoping that Origin Consortium would open its knowledge database to her while assisting with money. Any type of advanced knowledge would do; if she couldn't use it herself, she could sell it to players.

Of course, what she most wanted now was advanced knowledge on Body Cultivation Stream and Spiritual Ability Stream so that she could complete the new Transferring Professions.

"So you mean you aren't at Catastrophe Level yet, but with two pieces of advanced knowledge, you're confident you can advance to Catastrophe within a year?"

Andras was so shocked by Bai Fu that he couldn't even blink.

If he remembered correctly, the power Bai Fu had shown when she first arrived in Star Sea was just A-level. To jump from A-level to Catastrophe Level in just over two years, was she hiding her power before, or was she an unprecedented super-genius that could even embarrass the Oath Lord?

Andras thought hard and finally decided to make one more big gamble.

He chose to trust Bai Fu and opened the knowledge database to her.

Catastrophe Level Advanced Knowledge was strictly controlled by major powers, and making such a decision required him to cope with pressures from multiple aspects. If Bai Fu couldn't be promoted to Catastrophe as quickly as she said, he would inevitably be held accountable by the members of the board—after all, the consortium's interior was not monolithic.

But if he won the bet, his and his family's status within the Origin Consortium would be completely secured. Who among those challengers who had been trying to remove him from the helmsman position would dare to make trouble then?

"This sincerity is really maxed out."

Seeing Andras agree so quickly, Bai Fu couldn't help but remark.

After entering the Star Sea, aside from Fei Ye, she had never encountered anyone else willing to invest in her like this.

Indeed, power and fame could complement each other!

Not long after ending the conversation with Andras, Bai Fu received a contact from Suixi, the leader of the Holy Band of the Blessing Sect.

Suixi was there to issue a task, on behalf of the Blessing Sect, wanting to commission her to deal with the Secret Tower and retrieve the "True Spirit Pillar in the hands of the Secret Tower."

In Suixi's words, this was a long-term task. The Blessing Sect was not in a rush, and Suixi offered a generous reward and even personally came to Bikong Star to talk with her to show sincerity.

To this, Bai Fu felt a bit surprised.

Usually, communications like these were handled by Elon. Why had it switched to the icy Suixi this time?

Despite her curiosity, she still accepted the task from the Blessing Sect.

"I will stay in the Dark Moon Tide until the task is completed. This isn't supervision, I believe you could use my abilities when dealing with the Secret Tower."

Considering that Suixi was skilled in interrogating enemies, Bai Fu thought it over and agreed.

On the third day after reaching the task cooperation with Suixi, Bai Fu received another explosive piece of news.

A massive riot had occurred on Beisai Star of the Star Network, which was a crucial transportation node connecting the Sea Lion Star System and the Tidal Star System. It was very important; if Beisai Star fell, the time required to travel from the Tidal Star System to the Sea Lion Star System would be extended by more than ten days. To ensure the node remained clear, the Star Network immediately sent a rescue troop.

"It's the parasite, the parasite has been activated!"

After hearing about the situation of the civilians involved in the massive riot on Beisai Star, the Dark Domain Insect Clan Queen decisively made her judgment.

Here it comes, the main storyline of the Sea Lion Star System!

Had the Secret Tower finally played its trump card?

Bai Fu immediately contacted Fei Ye to inquire about the progress of collecting the progenitors.

"Just one final progenitor left. They sensed the danger beforehand. By the time we got there, they were trying to escape with the progenitors on a spaceship, and we are currently chasing them."

A chase?

Under these circumstances, the Secret Tower wouldn't just do nothing.

"Send me the coordinates, I'll be right there."

Bai Fu could not sit still any longer.

Success or failure hung in the balance.

Success, Fei Ye could be promoted to Catastrophe soon, which would in turn propel her to Catastrophe.

Failure, the time wasted struggling with the Secret Tower could be extended for much longer.

Fei Ye quickly sent over the coordinates, and within ten minutes of receiving them, Bai Fu, along with Julia, turned into their Ghost Forms and stealthily boarded a spaceship leaving Bikong Star.
