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

But if similar situations kept accumulating, Dark Moon Tide would definitely lose a large number of potential customers. Once the contracting customers ran off, some players would follow suit. After all, once players couldn't receive tasks, and on the rare occasions they did, the attacks from the Secret Tower made task failure all too likely, when else but now should they run?

As players defected to other camps, Bai Fu's difficulty in squeezing experience and money from them would greatly increase. And with that difficulty increased, her leveling speed would slow down. Once that happened, she would become even more dangerous.

"Fucking hell!"

Bai Fu was fuming.

Even the Truth Society and Genetic Primordial hadn't hit her this hard, this was just too much. This wasn't just an ordinary villain anymore; this was someone trying to cut her off at the roots. She had to strike back with force!

Bai Fu opened the detailed interface for the task to eradicate the Secret Tower and noticed that her task contribution had risen to 17.2% while she was unaware, close to one fifth.

This was already a high number, but in her eyes, it still wasn't high enough. Otherwise, why would the Secret Tower still have the capacity for such petty actions?

Ah, my money!

Secret Tower Master, this isn't over between us. Just you wait, just you wait!

"?"

Julia looked at Bai Fu, whose face was changing colors so rapidly she could turn into Steam Girl, with a baffled expression. She waved her hand in front of Bai Fu's face.

"Do you have a fever?"

You're the one with a fever.

Bai Fu brushed away Julia's hand irritably. Keep messing around, and you might just find yourself executed on the spot.

"Looks like it's time to get tough with the Secret Tower."

"How tough?"

"Shaking people up!"

Bai Fu rattled her communicator.

Julia was clueless.

Before long, Bai Fu had successfully contacted Le Mans, the division director of the Initial Gate Star System Group.

"I need to request an audience with the Oath Lord."

Le Mans hesitated, "I'm afraid that might be a bit inconvenient right now, the Oath Lord is currently quite…"

Bai Fu interrupted him, "I have a way to help Fei Ye ascend to the Catastrophe Level in a very short amount of time, but now I've encountered some trouble. After giving it some thought, the Oath Lord might be the only one who can help solve this problem."

What?

Le Mans was taken aback. Help Fei Ye ascend to Catastrophe Level?

Regardless of whatever unspeakable relationship Bai Fu might have with the Oath Lord, this alone was enough for him to risk being scolded to contact the Oath Lord right away; he was so eager to advance.

"Please hold on."

Le Mans quickly used the internal channel to contact Silver Zhu, the Secretary-General of the Star Contract, and relayed what Bai Fu had just said.

The Wanling Sect Chairman, Lupus, had recently come to challenge the Oath Lord. The Oath Lord had lost to Lupus once before and was now hell-bent on winning back, having specifically told everyone at headquarters not to disturb her unless the sky was falling.

Was this considered a major event?

Silver Zhu pondered for quite some time before deciding to inform the Oath Lord. To her surprise, the Oath Lord responded immediately and didn't express any anger.

Something wasn't right. Although Lord Si Yue valued Fei Ye, she shouldn't be this concerned. Could it be possible that they had some kind of encounter with Bai Fu without her knowledge?

Silver Zhu frowned; this required close attention to prevent Lord Si Yue from being deceived by some unknown trickster.

Losing money was a minor issue, but if something else were tricked away, that would be a disaster.

The Oath Lord responded so quickly partly because of Fei Ye, but actually, it was because of the players.

Recently, she made a special trip to the Initial Gate Star System Group division to request some players from Bai Fu. Initially, she only intended to study the undying characteristic of the players, but after bringing them back to the headquarters, she found the players to be far more entertaining than she had imagined.

First of all, their eyes were like rulers.

She discovered this by accident during training. She delivered two punches to the same spot on a testing apparatus, and before the analysis data on the equipment was even available, the players watching could accurately tell which punch had higher output and caused more damage, which surprised her greatly.

Secondly, the attitude of these players towards her was interesting.

You should know that she's one of only three Super Supremes in the Edge World. Even the other two Super Supremes had to stay on their guard around her, but these players were neither afraid nor reverent towards her. They occasionally compared her to Bai Fu and concluded that she wasn't even worth one of Bai Fu's toes.

Interesting, were Bai Fu's toes that alluring?

"Help me contact Bai Fu. I'd like to hear what she has to say."

Upon receiving the order, Silver Zhu didn't dare to delay and immediately contacted Bai Fu. Then, the Oath Lord requested to join the group chat.

"I am the Oath Lord." The petite figure of the Oath Lord emerged from the communicator. "I hear you have a method that can help Fei Ye ascend to Catastrophe Level?"

Things were going smoother than Bai Fu had expected, and she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, the Secret Tower has an item called the Dissociative Potion Base. If you collect several of these bases, you can combine them into a special item that can stably change Fei Ye's race to the humanoid Void Race 'Prophet'; without the burden of Voidification weighing her down, ascending to Catastrophe would just be a matter of whether or not she wishes to."

While explaining, Bai Fu deliberately omitted the existence of the Dark Domain Insect Clan Queen. This character was still too sensitive; she feared the Oath Lord might get so excited she'd squash the Dark Domain Insect Queen. Bai Fu might not be able to kill the Dark Domain Insect Queen, but that didn't mean the Super Supreme Level Oath Lord couldn't. If the Dark Domain Clan Insect Queen died, the main storyline of the Dark Domain Insect Clan might be cut off.
