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

On her way to meet with Suixi, the major powers had indeed started to secretly undermine her, just as Andras had said.

Because she had already made the necessary arrangements in advance, she appeared very calm.

Her recent performances had not only touched NPCs like Andras but also players.

Furthermore, with Digging Girl's video vigorously promoting her "background," she was now more enticing to players than a special title that could significantly increase attributes.

As a result, hardly any player genuinely defected to other camps—most of them were undercover on covert missions, just as she had hoped.

After all, the benefits of a title were apparent at a glance, but her benefits...

Digging into the petite Bai Fu, those benefits seemed never to end!

In any case, most players felt that as long as they followed her lead, even if they didn't hit the jackpot of five million, they'd be more than full just from the soup.

Take training a second profession, for example.

Most players had never even considered training a second profession before following Bai Fu.

The cost of training an additional profession was too high, and many players couldn't even reach the level cap of their first profession by the end of a version.

But since following Bai Fu, these players found earning experience much easier, and often reached the version's level cap midway through.

Some players took the opportunity to start training a second profession.

Bai Fu was pleased with this situation and even pushed it along from behind.

For instance, she set task rewards to be Profession Knowledge Books for certain professions, tempting players to train a second profession, especially those in the Spiritual Ability System.

On one hand, she hoped to strengthen her players, and on the other, naturally, it was because this way, she could better exploit the players.

Double the professions, double the demands, double the exploitation!

This move was called actively creating demand!

Players' experience points didn't accrue interest, no matter how long they kept them, but if invested in her, it was different. She'd grow stronger and could provide even better services to players later.

In other words—

A guaranteed pleasure!

"Speaking of which, the 1.4 version is about to end."

Bai Fu opened the official website.

Last night, the website announced a scheduled maintenance update.

After nearly three years of struggle, the main tasks of all the Newbie Planets were almost concluded, with only a few Newbie Planets still wrapping up.

The upcoming 1.5 version, as everyone had anticipated, would be a transitional version, so it wouldn't last very long.

"Looking at the situation, unless the downtime update from 1.5 to 2.0 is quite long, the in-game time will pass another half a year at most before a large number of players will enter the Star Sea from other areas."

"We need to deal with the trouble at Secret Tower quickly, then find some free time to exploit one or two Newbie Planets. With such wonderful players, how can we just watch them be exploited by other bad women or bad men?"

Bai Fu nodded to herself.

In this vast Star Sea, she had become one of the earliest NPCs to prepare for the 2.0 version.

...

Holy Hall Star.

This was Bai Fu's first visit to the headquarters of the Blessing Sect.

She had heard of this power before coming to the Star Sea.

Not long after entering the Star Sea, she had close contact with this power.

But only now did she have the time to look up at the white tower in front of her.

The hundreds of meters tall spire pierced the clouds like a sword standing upon the earth, magnificent and solemn.

"Thank you for coming in person; it's so good of you. We invited you here mainly because we're worried that discussing the operation plan online might be overheard by Secret Tower."

Suixi approached from a distance, her mouth expressing gratitude while her expression remained as cold as ever.

Bai Fu was used to this demeanor of hers and waved her hand, "If you're not too busy with other matters, let's get straight to the point."

Suixi nodded in agreement and led Bai Fu, along with Fei Ye, into the conference room.

In the conference room, the Pope and Elon, who had received the news in advance, had been waiting for a long time. As Bai Fu arrived, they immediately got up to greet her, their enthusiastic attitude markedly different from Suixi's.

After exchanging pleasantries, Elon began,

"Not long ago, we found a base of Secret Tower through a special channel, and to our surprise, the True Spirit Pillar we have been looking for might be in that base!"

As he spoke, Elon's voice involuntarily rose by several notches.

Oh, that's some really good luck!

Bai Fu nodded repeatedly, her expression equally serious and appreciative.

True Spirit Pillar?

Unless Secret Tower really had another True Spirit Pillar, this news was definitely false.

But Bai Fu kept silent; she couldn't tell the Blessing Sect that the True Spirit Pillar had already fused with Julia.

With her current power, she no longer needed to fear the Blessing Sect, but it's always better to have fewer problems.

Bai Fu placed her hands on the table, fingers interlocked, and listened patiently as Elon laid out the plan to capture the True Spirit Pillar.

The plan was simple, much like the one in the Tidal Star System before, splitting into two groups—one focusing on the exterior, the other on the interior.

The Blessing Sect had enjoyed cooperating with Bai Fu last time, so when planning this operation, they immediately thought of her.

However, this situation was slightly different from the last; this time, they were attacking a base, whose defense forces would definitely be much stronger than the previous secret laboratory, and the internal situation far more complex.
