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

The moment version 1.5's shutdown update arrived, all players in the Star Sea vanished like ghosts in an instant.

This abnormal scene completely baffled all the NPCs witnessing it for the first time.

They had spent quite some time with players, seeing them suddenly disappear when they logged off or went to tackle instances or arenas before the shutdown update.

But the current situation was entirely different.

In an instant, every one of the Undying People in their field of vision had disappeared.

Bizarre.

Within the bizarreness, there was also a hint of terror.

"Is it not?"

The Housekeeper, Secret Tower Master, Liu Yedao, and all the upper echelons of the Secret Tower were dumbfounded.

They stood rooted to the spot, at a loss for what to do, just as they were preparing to send the Undying People to ambush Bai Fu, all the Undying People had vanished, rendering their plan useless.

Panic began to spread.

The panic slowly transformed into unease and fear.

Could this be an ominous sign?

Or had they been tricked by Bai Fu?

Unable to ascertain the situation, the Housekeeper could only urgently put a hold on the decoys that had just been sent out, observing the situation before making the next move.

Apart from the Secret Tower, the reaction of other Camps that had poached players wasn't much better.

They hurriedly sought out information from multiple sources until they heard that the players under Bai Fu had also suddenly disappeared, and the Dark Moon Tide Company had even declared a holiday, which somewhat put their minds at ease.

So the situation might not be too bad?

...

"Must have frightened quite a few people, huh?"

Bai Fu guessed somewhat mischievously.

She quickly composed herself upon hearing the enhancement notification she had been anticipating.

[Participation Degree Confirmation in Progress (0%...10%...)]

[...]

[Current Exploration Degree of Initial Gate Star System 4.3%]

[Character Positioning Correction Under Way (0%...2%...)]

[Character Positioning Corrected from [Legend of Ancestral Origin Star] to [Legend of Ancestral Origin Star]+[Demon God of Indigo Star]+[Savior from Beyond for Golden Valley Star]+[Player Guide of Initial Gate Star System]

[Character Setting Correction in Progress (0%...2%...)]

Last time her exploration degree in the Initial Gate was only 0.2%; this time it had soared to 4.3%, nearly a twentyfold increase. The enhancement should not disappoint.

Bai Fu opened the notifications that had just popped up with great anticipation.

[Correction 1: Your Race has undergone a special Evolution, Skill [Heart Eye] corrected to [Void Perception]]

This correction was similar to the last one, where [Spiritual Ability Super Perception] had been corrected to [Heart Eye].

It had to be said that the effect of [Void Perception] was much stronger than sensory skills like Heart Eye. Upon activating [Void Perception], she would connect to the Void world, "seeing" her surroundings from a higher perspective.

From this perspective, her detection radius could even reach up to several kilometers, a range that many from the Spiritual Sect professions could not necessarily match.

"The Prophet is a Void Life formed by carbon-based lifeforms infected with Void Blood, hence lacking many characteristics inherent to native Void Life, such as [Void Perception]. Is this enhancement meant to make me closer to native Void Life?"

Bai Fu thoughtfully opened the second prompt.

[Correction 2: Exclusive Talent [Evolution Body (Bai Fu)] altered to [Void Physique (Bai Fu)]]

Compared to [Evolution Body (Bai Fu)], the new exclusive talent increased both the Physical Value and Spiritual Ability Value bonuses from 10% to 15%.

But this wasn't the biggest change; the biggest change was a new feature called [Void Recovery] added to the talent. This feature meant that Bai Fu could enter the Void to nurture her body after disengaging from combat. During this nurturing process, her body would automatically absorb Void Energy to help her recover her Life Value, allowing her recovery speed to reach up to nearly 0.2% of her maximum Life Value per second.

This speed meant that no matter how severe her injuries, it would only take about eight or nine minutes for her to fully recuperate!

This speed wasn't just awesome; it was out-of-this-world awesome.

Damn, this is sick!

Especially when used in conjunction with the Prophet mark.

Upon realizing she couldn't defeat an enemy, she could completely use the Prophet mark to escape, then retreat into the Void and wait for her body to fully recover once she was out of combat.

"Awesome!"

Bai Fu's eyes gleamed.

Void Life really was tenacious.

However, this tactic was not invincible, especially as the strength of her opponents increased.

If an opponent also had long-distance movement skills, or skills that blocked movement or curses, the effectiveness of this move would be greatly reduced, but no matter what, this combination would greatly enhance her survivability.

"Too bad it's a passive Talent. If it were an active skill, it would be even more powerful. I'd fully turn into Little Cecilia then!"

Bai Fu cheerfully checked the subsequent prompts.

[Correction 3: You have received the Legendary Recognition [Savior from Beyond (Golden Valley Star) - Bai Fu]]

This recognition, like the two previously obtained, had two functions: it increased her own Resistance and provided an extra 2% Agility attribute bonus to players who joined the Silent Court Camp.

[Correction 4: Character Power Positioning altered from [Regional BOSS (Sea Lion Star System)] to [Special BOSS (Edge World)]

This alteration of her positioning was completely unexpected to Bai Fu.

Before the change, her positioning had been limited to being a Regional BOSS of the Sea Lion Star System, and although her power had significantly increased during this period and her Reputation in the Star Sea had skyrocketed, she thought, at most, her positioning would be expanded to a Regional BOSS of the Initial Gate Star System. But in reality, the geographical restriction had suddenly been raised to the Edge World.
