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

Hearing this, Lupus's face darkened instantly.

F*ck, a Dominator Level Mechanic, there's no point in trying to kill that.

It was over.

Soon enough, the news that he was collaborating covertly with the Ten Saints Association would spread, and the new hiding place they had found would also be exposed.

Kade, this unlucky bastard, had messed things up not just for himself, but why did it seem like everyone who came into contact with him also became unlucky?

Lupus felt a sudden urge to kick Kade away.

The slender man shook his head, "What's the rush, who said I can't kill a Dominator Level Mechanic from afar? Super Supreme Level Mechanics have long since moved beyond merely controlling machines."

This was a world that truly contained "Gods."

Mechanics who mastered the "Power of Gods" could transcend the boundaries of machinery and flesh, of spirit.

As he spoke, a square box appeared in the palm of the slender man's hand.

"This little toy I made with a Virtual Invasion Seed and the Sorrow Angel from Apostle Holy City is amazing. Even a Dominator Level Mechanic would die if they were hit by this!"

He gently pressed on the square box, and in an instant, countless silver-white threads shot into the portable console in front of him.

Seconds later, Lupus asked, "How is it now?"

The slender man bit into his lollipop, "Interesting, I've seen it clear enough. The one who planted the mole was Bai Fu. She activated the self-destruct program in time and tried to shut down the mole, but the virtual channel had already been established, it was too late for her, and death was her only ending!"

Even though he hadn't seen Bai Fu being blown to bits with his own eyes, he had absolute confidence in his power.

"Bai Fu?"

Lupus was astonished.

Then a smirk twitched at the corner of his mouth.

He had wanted to use Bai Fu as fuel to initiate the Descent Ceremony, and now Bai Fu had died just like that?

Well, never mind, there were plenty of others who could be used as fuel; they wouldn't miss one Bai Fu.

Lupus said, "Although Bai Fu is dead, for safety reasons, we should still have the Saint change the location of our foothold."

"Suit yourself," the slender man shrugged. "You go communicate with him. I'm not interested in dealing with that lunatic."

Lupus didn't rush to contact the Saint; instead, he reached out to Kade.

He cursed Kade out and then informed him of Bai Fu's death.

"Bai Fu… is dead?"

Kade stood dumbstruck, momentarily losing focus.

He had accepted Lupus's invitation precisely to kill Bai Fu himself, and now they were telling him Bai Fu was already dead?

What a joke!

Bang!

Kade's fist smashed into the floor.

Fine.

If Bai Fu was dead, then he would take revenge on those who had supported her: the Arcane Library, Star Contract, and the Rebirth Empire!

...

Despite reacting extremely quickly, Bai Fu was still blasted away by the countless silver-white threads that suddenly shot out from the control panel.

"What the hell is this?!"

Bai Fu looked at the gaming prompts popping up in front of her in shock.

[You have been eroded by Spiritual Energy.]

[You have been impacted by a virtual rewrite.]

[You...]

Damage values kept popping up above her head, falling by the thousands at an alarming rate, and even though she activated her Spiritual Ability Protection and Fictional Blood Bar immediately, it was to no avail.

The Fictional Blood Bar was emptied in no time, and she felt the world spinning, her mind flooded with all sorts of bizarre thoughts. There was even a split second where she thought of slitting her own throat.

Bai Fu gritted her teeth.

She immediately pulled out the [Super Extreme Life Furnace] card that had just dropped from the Leader.

Use!

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted from deep within her body, as if limitless energy surged in from all directions, finally converging into a scorching vortex.

Bai Fu's life recovery rate instantly increased nearly tenfold, her blood bar climbing tens of thousands at a time.

Under the stimulus of this strong power of life, her mind momentarily calmed.

Without hesitation, she used "Becoming the Night," temporarily transforming into an abstract existence. Then, she abandoned most of her "Night" to withstand the impact of the silver-white threads head-on, using a small part of "Night" to swiftly shift dozens of astronomical units away.

[You have suffered...]

The damage warnings continued for tens of seconds until her life value dropped to 5% before stopping.

"Good thing I have the immunity to instant death talent, and also used 'Becoming the Night' to evade the second wave of the attack; otherwise, I really would have been done for."

As a half-energy, half-physical being, the significant drop in blood volume didn't bring Bai Fu too many debuffs. Fuming, she cursed a few times before quickly slipping into the void to start absorbing void energy to recover.

A few minutes later, when she re-emerged, she was once again the lively Bai Fu.

emmm...

It's not like she was all that energetic.

"My spaceship!"

The Night of Serenity was blown to bits, and the Virtual Heart was damaged. Although it could be repaired, repairs aren't free, even though the money she plundered from the Leader would take a while to run out, this repair cost shouldn't have been necessary.

Bai Fu was so mad that her hair stood on end.

Earning less is a loss, and a loss spoils the mood.

"Leader, Lupus doesn't have this ability, the Saint isn't from the Spiritual Energy and Technology Stream school either, damn it, who did it?"

Bai Fu summoned one of the many spaceships previously launched from the headquarters of the Honorable Force to come pick her up, while continuing to monitor the Leader's actions.

Don't think that just because you've temporarily crippled my Virtual Heart, you can rest easy, Leader. I will always be spying on you, just you wait, you won't get off easy!

Before her own spaceship arrived, Bai Fu received a call from Silver Zhu and others.

"I'm fine, I've gotten away from the Leader and am on my way back to Ulysses; we'll talk about the rest when I get back."

"Spaceship? The spaceship blew up. No big deal, don't worry."

"Ah, Ranie? I don't recall us being that close. Was it the Manager who sent you, did the Manager contact old friends in the empire?"

Bai Fu suddenly realized.

No wonder the Leader didn't go to the Rebirth Empire but instead colluded with Lupus and the Ten Saints Association; it turns out that he could no longer gain support from the Rebirth Empire.

She quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Actually, could you help me ask the Manager something?"

Bai Fu suddenly thought that Yuan Yi, who was widely knowledgeable, might know who attacked her.

"Bai Fu, what would you like to ask me?"

All of a sudden, Yuan Yi's virtual figure appeared beside Ranie.

Bai Fu recounted her recent encounter to Yuan Yi.

"Silver-white threads? From your description, the person who attacked you is very likely the Super Supreme Mechanic, Shadow Storm Corona. How did you provoke him?"

"I've never even seen him."

Bai Fu shrugged, not explaining the situation directly but knowing it was better not to say such things over the communicator now that she knew the other party was a Super Supreme Level Mechanic.

She planned to return to Ulysses first, construct the Mobile Palace, then let Black Fu take over her interviews, host events, make public appearances to farm reputation, while she herself would personally travel to the Rebirth Empire to meet Julian.

Taking on the Ten Saints Association on her own would definitely not work, but if she could invite the Rebirth Empire to join...

[I'll wreck havoc all over!]

"Could it be that Kade has sided with Corona? If I'm not mistaken, Corona hasn't shown himself for over a decade. And now, he reappears just to target you..."

Yuan Yi shook his head with a smile.

More than these, what he should be surprised by seems to be how Bai Fu survived the sudden attack by Corona unscathed.

What kind of foundation was this?

This Seeker, Bai Fu, originally possessed strength far greater than he had imagined!

"It looks like a storm is brewing."

One old timer after another is popping up; even if there's no big issue, these old timers will create one.
