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

Roman had an excusable reason for not recognizing her.

Her fame really started to spread in the Tem Civilization after she ascended to Catastrophe Level and wiped out the Secret Tower in a devastating blow. However, before that, Roman and his team had already been ordered to enter the Dark Domain to hunt down the assassin who attempted to kill the Leader.

"Who sent that assassin?"

"It's unclear. Some suspect it was General Gustav's doing, some suspect the Honorable Force, and others suspect the Free Star System Alliance next door. The Leader dispatched us to capture the assassin to try and uncover the truth."

According to the Deputy Officer, the Tem Civilization might still look splendid on the surface, but the internal and external situation was actually very tense.

Internally, a rebel organization known as the Honorable Force was wreaking havoc, having assassinated multiple Colonial Governors. Despite being hit from multiple sides, they were growing stronger. At the same time, the conflict between old-timer General Gustav and the newly risen military nobles was escalating, and they were close to coming to blows.

Externally, although the Tem Civilization had the support of the Supernova Battle Group, that didn't guarantee them absolute safety. Both Titan Industry and the Rebirth Empire had been trying to extend their tentacles into the Edge World to get a share of the benefits from the territory of the Supernova Battle Group.

To date, the three major cosmic civilizations hadn't had a large-scale war in many years, but the forces and civilizations they supported had been clashing fiercely.

"Is the situation so unstable that a war might break out?"

Bai Fu pondered.

She felt she had roughly grasped the main theme of the Tem Civilization's storyline—

War!

Interstellar War!

"This main storyline is most likely the most important one in the Edge World and is expected to continue from version 2.0 until the opening of version 3.0. After that, players should be able to get involved in the disputes among the three major cosmic civilizations."

Bai Fu's eyes lit up.

Great opportunity!

If she could reap enough benefits from this war, there should be no problem with becoming a Dominator, if not advancing to Super Supreme, once version 3.0 opened.

Can she make it?

Guaranteed!

Bai Fu was full of confidence.

With her current power and her popularity among the players, if she managed it well, she might not become a Queen of Arms, but she could at least earn a reputation as the Mercenary King.

"If only I could find that assassin before the Tem Civilization does."

Bai Fu shook her head.

Forget that for now.

Having obtained the information, Bai Fu didn't hold back. She cleared out all the people in the spaceship. As for the spaceship, it's best not to damage it if it can be helped.

She did not plan to use the seventeen spaceships herself; cracking the main control program of military spaceships was too troublesome, so she would sell them in the black market when the time came.

The money earned from selling the spaceships was planned to establish a special fund, aimed at serving the players newly entering the Star Sea.

[Are you still worried about not knowing what to do?]

[Are you still worried about not having a penny to your name?]

[Contact the Bai Fu Fund, and the Bai Fu Fund will provide every Undying with a free ticket to Ulysses Star!]

[Player's main city, Ulysses Star base welcomes you!]

Yes.

Bai Fu intended to recruit more players to her side in this way.

Although this required a substantial investment of funds, she was not worried; she would eventually earn back hundreds to thousands of times more from the players who rushed to her side.

By doing this, she could also expand the scale of Ulysses Star's base and, by the way, boost her Affinity within the player community—three birds with one stone.

After landing all the spaceships on the ground, Bai Fu went to see Ernst and the others one by one, telling them the crisis was over.

Ernst and the others all thought she was a goner, but to their amazement, not only did she survive, but she single-handedly decimated the incoming fleet, leaving their jaws practically hitting the floor. When they looked at her again, she seemed like a Heavenly God.

Bai Fu nodded with a smile.

Her affinity wasn't earned for nothing. Sure enough, two days later, the main character of Darren Star came to her voluntarily, hoping to follow her, and she readily agreed.

The more capable subordinates, the better.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

On this day, the game officials released the official trailer for version 2.0.

Countless players anxiously awaited.

[I wonder how we will enter the Star Sea.]

[Do you think it could be Fufu piloting a spaceship to take us into the Star Sea?]

[Dream on, why would Fufu possibly come?]

[Exactly, Fufu has no reason to come at all.]

Amidst the noisy chatter, the game finally reopened, and a massive number of players logged in the moment it was available, including those from Darren Star.

The update and downtime lasted a whole day, but according to the officials, five months had passed in the game's time. They were eager to see what changes had occurred within the game.

Little did they know, once they logged in, they suddenly discovered that Darren Star had somehow acquired over a dozen spaceships out of thin air.

What?

They quickly inquired with the surrounding NPCs.

"You're talking about the spaceship? That was brought in by an alien with white hair, who said her name was... that's right, Bai Fu! Those spaceships over there are from a force known as the Tem Civilization. They threw their weight around as soon as they reached Darren Star, and it was Bai Fu who dealt with them."

Holy shit, Bai Fu... could it be someone with the same name?

After investigating, the players of Darren Star confirmed that it wasn't just someone with the same name; it was indeed the real Bai Fu, who had come in a spaceship to take them into the Star Sea!

A tidal wave of cheers!

In an instant, the entire Darren Star was abuzz.

Bai Fu's Descent took everyone by surprise.

[Based on what those NPCs said, didn't Fufu come for the Tem Civilization? I remember Frank, who stole Fufu's True Spirit Pillar from the Secret Tower Headquarter, was from the Tem Civilization. Could the main storyline for version 2.0 be related to the Tem Civilization?]

[Who knows, it doesn't matter. I'm going to post immediately and tell the other players that Fufu has come to our place!]

In just a few minutes, the news that Bai Fu had appeared on Darren Star spread throughout the player community.

Players from other Newbie Planets were completely baffled.

Hold on, why? Why did Fufu only go to your place and not come to ours?

Bai Fu browsed the posts with a pleased mood.

During the 2.0 version update, she didn't gain any substantial power enhancement from the planners, which left her feeling rather dejected at the time, but all that frustration disappeared with the official launch of version 2.0.

GoGoGo!

During the update period, she visited several Newbie Planets, and Darren Star was just one of them.

Just days ago, she had officially called An Ya to pilot the fleet to pick up players, and by the end of this trip, the number of players under her command was estimated to double.

Four million warriors – other forces, are you scared?

Hehe.

"Don't rush, don't rush, everyone line up. I'll come and bless each of you in turn, and turn you all into my likeness!"
