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

"This is quite a leap, isn't it? Is it because I can be promoted to Catastrophe Level at any time now, or is it..."

Right.

Bai Fu considered a possibility.

She surmised that the real situation was very likely that the Star Sea version was about to be released, and players were going to enter the Star Sea en masse.

Some players would enter the Star Sea from the Initial Gate Star System Group, while others would do so from other Star System Groups.

Unruly NPCs like her would definitely be running around between various Star System Groups at that time, and her range of activities wouldn't be limited to just the Initial Gate. For instance, to support Andras, she might well go to the Tem Civilization, which is located in the central region of the Edge World Star Zone.

The officials probably saw this and simply decided to change her designated area to the Edge World.

This was good news because players could see this designation, and the officials were essentially boosting her image in the hearts of the players.

Looking further, Bai Fu saw that the designations of other members of the Silent Court had been corrected.

Like Vic's, Gao Yuan's, Old Nison's...

Right, as well as the corrections to the designations of the Silent Court and Dark Moon Tide.

[Correction 9: [Silent Court] will be corrected to be one of the main player camps in version 1.5 [Stars Era]]

[Correction 10: [Dark Moon Tide Private Military Company], a subordinate of [Silent Court], will be corrected to be a well-known force in the Sea Lion Star System in version 1.5 [Stars Era]]

[Correction 11: [Build Ulysses Star's Main City] will be corrected to be one of the main tasks of the Sea Lion Star System in version 1.5]

Bai Fu nodded in satisfaction.

With these corrections, everything she did in the Sea Lion Star System, on Ulysses Star, would be completely justified.

"This enhancement is as powerful as ever."

Bai Fu stretched lazily.

After closing the prompt, she first opened her Camp interface. Recently, her Reputation had increased a lot, and she could set up new instance copies for her Camp. She casually edited two new instances to make them look like they were opened with the version update.

Then, she opened the Prayer Card synthesis interface. She didn't have much Experience left on her, and she needed to save some for Awakening, so she didn't go for synthesizing Rare Cards that required a lot of Experience. Instead, she synthesized some General Cards that could cause debuff effects on her opponents.

These cards, she planned to put in the Copy Shop along with the Blessing Cards that she had just gotten from the Blessing Sect, specifically to fleece the players.

"The Prayer Card factory needs to continue expanding; otherwise, it won't meet the demand from the massive influx of players who will soon enter the Star Sea."

After a brief thought, Bai Fu already knew what to do during the waiting time before the release of version 1.5.

One, expand the Prayer Card production factory.

Two, expand Xia Shi's mechanical production factory.

Three, ask Andras to help look for people with Rare Superpowers and try to incorporate them into the Superpower Evolution Tree Diagram.

Four, take matters into her own hands and find suitable NPCs with the Talents [Luck] or [Strong Luck] for investment, draw them into Silent Court, and enhance the power of Silent Court.

For the fourth point, Bai Fu had always left it to Gao Yuan and Old Nison to handle, and their efficiency definitely couldn't compare with hers, a special NPC with Reconnaissance Skill.

In fact, Bai Fu wasn't particularly rushed about this and was happy to take her time. However, considering that version 1.5 wouldn't last long, she felt it was better to recruit more NPCs to work sooner rather than later. After all, she couldn't possibly do everything herself, right, along with Fei Ye, An Ya, and others?

Such high-intensity work would wear anyone out. And if Cecilia or Julia came knocking while they were worn out, then they would be doomed.

Bai Fu was a woman of action.

Once she had made a decision, she immediately set out to implement it.

Expansion was easy, she just needed to ask Green Mud to help with the procurement of materials. It was also straightforward with Andras. The real trouble was the investment.

At this moment, Fei Ye stepped up, offering to help.

Fei Ye had already been internally chosen as the new department head, but since the current head, Le Mans, hadn't left yet, she was still quite idle.

The others were different. Julia and Cecilia were engaged in research, Xia Shi was studying the Advanced Mechanical Knowledge that Bai Fu had given her, and An Ya and Vic were learning how to use spiritual power from Cipris.

Don't get me started, Cipris might seem silly, but because of her bloodline, her use of spiritual power was so refined that it was truly amazing. Having her teach An Ya and Vic couldn't be more perfect; even if she couldn't explain clearly, just demonstrating could be incredibly beneficial for An Ya and Vic.

Cipris was initially reluctant, but after Bai Fu tempted her with snacks and TV shows, she immediately agreed.

...

"We... seem to have not been alone like this for a long time."

Inside the spaceship, Fei Ye looked at Bai Fu with a smiling expression.

Bai Fu nodded.

The last time they were truly alone was when Fei Ye had given up on herself due to an uncontrollable Voidification, and then Bai Fu had bitten her and drawn her blood.

Since then, although Bai Fu and Fei Ye had been alone in terms of space, either they hadn't talked, or they had discussed serious matters.

"Fei Ye, have you ever considered that there might be a hidden story behind the Void Catastrophe you and your sister went through in the past?"

Bai Fu's expression turned serious.

She felt it was necessary to give Fei Ye a precaution in this regard, in case Fei Ye got shocked again when the task was triggered, since it involved Fei Ye's sister.
