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

Lady Whitney, even in her most optimistic estimations before investing in Bai Fu, hoped that Bai Fu could advance to Dominator status within two or three years. Who would have thought that Bai Fu would take less than six months?

"Genius, an absolute genius. Even if she doesn't get a share of that Imperial project, investing in her alone is definitely not a loss!"

Lady Whitney immediately sprang into action.

"Contact the head of the Protection Bureau and the leader of the Rust Army for me!"

Bai Fu and Kade, the Tem Civilization Leader, had a conflict. With Kade backed by a radical faction within the Imperial, to prevent Bai Fu from being targeted by the Imperial and possibly defecting to another civilization, she had to act right away and exert her influence.

Whitney was far from the only one taking action at this time.

Silver Zhu was overjoyed the moment he received the news.

Bai Fu had truly advanced to Dominator!

Whether or not Bai Fu would retain her identity within the Star Contract, it was sensational news for them.

At any rate, Bai Fu could not be allowed to die at the Leader's hands.

Silver Zhu immediately contacted the Oath Lord, requesting assistance.

On the other side of the Edge World, within the vast Arcane Library, Yuan Yi opened his eyes.

"Bai Fu has advanced to Dominator so quickly? She must indeed be a Seeker, otherwise this makes no sense. Alas, my support was sent too late."

He shook his head in resignation.

Who could have anticipated Bai Fu's rapid advancement?

But now, it was not too late either.

Yuan Yi contacted Ranie, instructing him to send aid to Bai Fu: "I have a few friends in the Rebirth Empire who have some influence. Don't worry about pressure from the Rebirth Empire. If anyone tries to pressure you, have them come to me!"

Ranie nodded his head.

He hadn't seen his teacher take such a tough stance in a long time, but there was a bit of annoyance within. Another portion of his teacher's affection had been doled out!

...

Some raced to address the conflict between Bai Fu and the Leader, while others cheered for Bai Fu's advancement to Dominator.

"Holy crap!"

Andras fell from his chair.

Was this the surprise Bai Fu said she had for him?

He had fostered a Dominator!

Overcome with excitement, Andras bolted from his office. It wasn't to share his joy with anyone; he simply wanted to bask in the looks of adoration and respect.

As he strode through the corridor, exclamations were everywhere.

From this moment, the Origin Consortium's standing in the Edge World would climb another level, and Andras's word within the Consortium would be unquestionable.

Not convinced?

Then you go and foster a Bai Fu too!

Like Andras, the civilizations of the Initial Gate Star System Group were equally thrilled.

Bai Fu was the first Dominator to emerge from their entire Star System Group. Given Bai Fu's tight bond with them, the Initial Gate Star System, often mocked as a backwater, was set to soar.

The rise of a civilization led by a Dominator or Super Supreme was not uncommon in the past.

"I knew Bai Fu would make it!"

"What do you know? Weren't you just worried Bai Fu was dead?"

"Heh, you saw wrong."

The NPCs' laughter reached the players' ears.

Even though they knew Bai Fu was the "main character," the Silent Court players panicked upon learning that Bai Fu had willingly jumped into the Honorable Force's trap, having played too many games where the main character could die.

Fortunately, the dust had finally settled.

[Fufu is number one in the world!]

[Alright, alright, Fufu's thighs have gotten thicker, and I love those meaty thighs, they feel so comfortable to hug.]

[Delusional, do you think you can embrace Fufu's thighs?]

[Digging Girl, dig up treasures, don't shut down, come out and start your broadcast.]

[I'm here, I'm here.]

That's when Digging Girl's back pain subsided, the dizziness in her head cleared, and she switched on her live stream to start her spiel.

First about Bai Fu.

Then about herself.

[Blah blah blah, I told you all that Fufu is the Ghost Night Dominator. Until today, many did not believe me, now do you believe me? Welcoming the return of the Ghost Night Dominator!]

[For plot analysis, trust Digging Girl!]

[Alright, enough blowing my own trumpet, let's read some comments, let's see how these NPCs are praising Fufu.]

Digging Girl clicked on the most famous news website of the Tem Civilization and was shocked to find that the headline had changed compared to just fifteen minutes ago—it now read:

[The secret deep within the main base of Honorable Force: records from the Commander of Honorable Force, revealing the true nature of Leader Kade!]

What?

Digging Girl clicked to enter.

She wasn't ready for what she saw; it was a history of workers' woes!

The complaints were as follows—

1. The Leader was withholding salaries from Honorable Force members, including the Commanders;

2. The Leader was stringing along Honorable Force members with promises of high-ranking positions if they continued to work hard for him;

3. The Leader was gaslighting Honorable Force members, telling the majority of them that their improved lives were only possible because of his mentoring and that they owed him big time;

4. The Leader threatened Honorable Force members, saying once a member of Honorable Force, always a member for life; those not seeking to whitewash their past with him were doomed.

After reading these records, the already explosive bad reputation of the Leader hit rock bottom.

[I thought the Leader was an unscrupulous hero, but now it seems he's nothing but a despicable villain.]

[Truly frightening. Good thing Bai Fu exposed the true face of Kade. Otherwise, the thought of such a villain being hailed as a "hero" guiding civilization forward makes me see a bleak future.]
