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

Buy, buy, buy!

First, Bai Fu bought advanced laboratory equipment and Spiritual Ability Crystals for Julia, then advanced mechanical manufacturing and network equipment for Xia Shi, followed by a super Combat Suit for An Ya. Lastly, she turned her attention to the spaceship market.

After struggling in the Star Sea for so long, it was time she got herself a true Flagship.

After comparing for a long while, Bai Fu spent eight million to buy a "Star God Level" spaceship from Titan Industry. The Star God Level was comparable to the Supernova Battle Group's "Sky Shuttle Level," the spaceship piloted by Frank, equipped with a mainstream Cosmos Civilization hyperjump engine and a cruising system, traveling several times faster than Fei Ye's ship, not to mention its armor and Shields.

"This eight million was well spent, this will make it much more efficient to harvest Experience from Players on other Newbie Planets."

Bai Fu was very satisfied with her new spaceship and even named it [Night of Serenity].

After returning to the Initial Gate Star System's branch of the Star Contract, Bai Fu held a celebration ceremony on her own to celebrate her victory over the Secret Tower and her promotion to Catastrophe Level.

Well, it was actually just an excuse to harvest players' Experience.

With this move, she successfully harvested 320 million Experience.

Now her subordinates, the players, had learned their lessons, knowing that version 2.0 was about to launch and the player Level cap was soon to be raised to 50. Therefore, they were not in a hurry to spend their Experience.

"Damn it, not giving anything, huh? Just wait for the next version, and see how I'll drain you dry!"

After the celebration, Bai Fu officially moved all her assets to Ulysses Star.

Since Le Mans had stepped down, Fei Ye officially took over as the division chief. Normally, she should have stayed to oversee the overall situation, but she tossed her responsibilities onto Green Mud and went off to find Bai Fu.

"Really?"

Green Mud was speechless.

All he could think was that the minister was such a piece of trash!

Fei Ye did not want to rush either, but Cecilia followed to Ulysses Star; she feared that if she didn't follow, by the time she went there, Bai Fu might already have transformed into the image of Cecilia.

Bai Fu, such an innocent girl, must not be deceived by a scheming woman like Cecilia.

She, must protect Bai Fu!

After a busy month leveraging the automated construction toolkits produced by Titan Industry, the first base of Silent Court on Ulysses Star emerged from the ground and was officially declared operational.

"It's looking good!"

Bai Fu smiled, her eyes curving into crescents.

The player's main city was built, and her power had risen to Catastrophe Level. She was well-prepared to welcome the players into the Star Sea, serving as their guide in the Star Sea before the official arrival of version 2.0.

So, the next steps were easy.

Bai Fu assigned the task of commanding the players to An Ya and left Black Fu under An Ya's command. Then she piloted the Night of Serenity to look for other Newbie Planets.

This was crucial.

Version 2.0 would undoubtedly be her breakout version. She needed Experience, lots of it, as much as possible. The more than one million players under her were not enough, so she had to quickly dig up more players.

Actually, Bai Fu was slightly late at this point.

Because the officials had recently announced maintenance and updates.

As everyone anticipated, version 1.5 was a very brief transitional version.

By the time she piloted her spaceship to the Newbie Planet, players were probably already forcibly logged off due to the update.

Harvesting leeks?

No one to harvest!

But no big deal, Bai Fu quickly thought of a contingency plan.

Squeezing players was not necessarily something that had to be done on Newbie Planets; it made no difference elsewhere. The Experience she needed to extract from players was the same, and importantly, she needed to get a grip on these players first.

That was easy.

Bai Fu planned to visit several Newbie Planets while the players were offline, establishing cooperative relationships with local civilizations in advance and securing her position.

When other forces from the Star Sea arrived due to various reasons, she would be ready to jump out—

[This place has already been contracted by me, Bai Fu. Go back where you came from.]

Not satisfied?

Hold it in.

With this, to enter the Star Sea, players would only have the "Bai Fu route," and if they took her route, they would inevitably be squeezed dry by her.

Of course, the players would never guess she had so many tricks up her sleeve. When they logged back on, they would just be pleasantly surprised.

My god, Fu!

"Perfect!"

…

While Bai Fu was piloting the spaceship toward the nearest Newbie Planet, top executives of the Origin Consortium and Tem Civilization Faction gathered for an urgent meeting.

They had already reviewed all reports on Bai Fu and were aware of Bai Fu's power, her relationship with Andras, and her agreement to attend the internal meeting with Andras in a few months.

They could only say the situation had exceeded their expectations.

Bai Fu had grown too quickly, so quickly that they hadn't even had time to consider targeting her before finding it not so easy to target her at all.

Even so, for the sake of their plans, they still had to do something.

"I heard the Tem Civilization is currently unstable internally. Recently, someone attempted to assassinate the Leader at a rally, and the Leader narrowly survived. They dispatched a large number of exploration teams deep into the Dark Domain to pursue the Assassin. Given how things are developing, a conflict could erupt at any time, and we must enter the game as soon as possible to seize the maximum benefit. If we delay, we'll miss even a sip of the soup."

The head of the Hampton Family looked around at the others seated beside him.

One nodded, "Let's intercept Bai Fu midway. Without her as the 'benchmark,' Andras won't be able to convince the others. If we can secure three more seats of support, we can push Andras out."

"That's the safest route. Do you have any reliable and capable people in mind?"

"I'll handle it; I know people from the Catastrophe Army."

"The Catastrophe Army? Good, if it's these lunatics, no one will suspect us even if Bai Fu is killed. Let's leave it to you."

The meeting quickly started and just as quickly ended, with members of the Origin Consortium and Tem Civilization Faction acting on their respective tasks.
