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

As soon as the 2.0 version was launched, Bai Fu released a special reward task through the Camp System.

The completion conditions for this task were very loose.

Players didn't need to personally drag the assassin to Ulysses Star; as long as they could collect accurate intelligence related to the assassin's whereabouts, they could get 3 million points of Experience, as well as one-on-one guidance from Bai Fu, the Silent Court Master. And if someone could bring the person directly to Ulysses Star, Bai Fu would promote him to join the Imperial Guard at Ulysses Base.

Suddenly, the entire community was bustling with excitement.

3 million Experience—that was enough for the average player who hadn't yet reached level 40 to level up.

But what attracted players the most were the two rewards that followed.

One-on-one guidance?

Sss—

This is good, this is good!

Whether it was learning one or two Rare Skills from Bai Fu or getting a free Profession Knowledge Book, or even just the opportunity to interview Bai Fu, the benefits were enormous.

Who would have thought that Bai Fu's popularity is especially high, and she is also the only designated Profession Tutor for the Spiritual Ability Sect officially promoted in the 2.0 version's trailer.

It would be even better to get into the Imperial Guard at Ulysses Base!

The Imperial Guard was a special institution established after the official completion of Ulysses Base, headed by Vic. The members of the Imperial Guard usually followed Bai Fu around.

While it seemed like they were just being used as labor, it was almost the same as being kept by Bai Fu; following her around meant that whenever there was soup to be had, the Imperial Guards would be the first to drink it.

Keep in mind, this was the very first sip of hot soup from a Catastrophe-level Superpower User, the nutritional value was incomparable, not even second or third helpings could catch up.

[I'm definitely going to join the Imperial Guard; not even Jesus opposing me will matter, I tell you!]

[I heard that as soon as Dig Treasure and Patrick logged on, they received Vic's invitation to directly join the Imperial Guard. Damn, I'm so jealous!]

[Don't be envious, Dig Treasure and the others are veteran heroes who followed Fufu all the way from the Abandoned Cooling Factory to the Initial Gate first.]

Bai Fu couldn't help but laugh as she watched related posts pop up one after another in the community.

Cast a wide net to catch a big fish.

Regardless of whether the players completed the task or not, she wouldn't lose out.

If a player found that assassin, she could delve deeper into the main storyline of the Tem Civilization.

After posting the task, Bai Fu waited for another two days before An Ya's transport fleet finally arrived.

What needed to be done next was simple—

Steering the spaceship, she would transport players to Ulysses Star one ship at a time.

During the speech to all players on Darren Star, Bai Fu generously announced that this transport was free of charge, they wouldn't have to spend a penny on boat tickets, and she made a special point that players had the freedom to choose; even if they didn't join the Silent Court Camp, it was okay.

Of course, Bai Fu wasn't really that generous; this was merely her strategy to brush up players' Affinity.

Players generally do not like being "ordered about" in a game.

If she said only those who joined the Silent Court could board spaceships to the Star Sea, some players would hold a grudge even if they didn't voice it outright and once they reached the Star Sea, might defect to another Camp out of spite.

But the situation was different now; by framing it this way, she could brush up players' Affinity subtly and not incur any actual loss.

Because once players reached the Star Sea, they'd realize that they had no other choice but to join the Silent Court for the short term.

To join other Camps, they'd first have to leave Ulysses Star, right?

To leave Ulysses Star, they'd need to buy a spaceship ticket, right?

To buy a ticket, they'd need money, right?

Eh! Conveniently—

The best way to make money on Ulysses Star was to join the Silent Court; otherwise, they'd slowly struggle on!

Bai Fu believed that after careful consideration, the vast majority of players would join the Silent Court and wouldn't blame her; instead, they would be grateful for the opportunity she gave them to enter the Star Sea.

Getting these players to join the Silent Court was only the first step; the second was to find ways to make them as committed to remaining in the Silent Court as the players from Ancestral Origin Star.

For this, Bai Fu had already made plans.

During the downtime for the update, she had devised a Point System.

Going forward, players would receive corresponding Points for completing any Camp Task; by reaching different Point levels, they could apply to join different institutions within the Camp.

For example, the ordinary Action Teams, Ace Combat Troops, Imperial Guards, as well as Research Institutes and the Foreign Department, among others.

Bai Fu believed that the Point System would definitely attract the attention of countless players.

The reason was simple; while players were usually just taking orders from NPCs in other Camps, the Silent Court would offer them a complete and specialized promotion system tailored specifically to them.

Whether they were players who loved combat, lifestyle players, or those who wanted to strut between NPC groups as diplomats, they could all find their place.

"2.0 version, it's the era of the Great Star Sea, and it will also be the era of me, Big White Fu!"

...

One month later.

Bai Fu smoothly transported all players above level 30 from the three Newbie Planets she had been eyeing to Ulysses Star.

As she expected, 99.9% of these players joined the Silent Court without much hesitation.

She immediately summoned all the players who joined the Silent Court and unveiled the Point System to them.
