When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 144 - 69 Those Years, We Chased Bai Fu Together [4k]_2
With one hand, she reaped lives with a scythe, and with the other, she saved lives with medicine. Black and white blended perfectly within Julia.
If everything had gone according to plan, with Julia's help, the Watchers could have become the most powerful force in the Goli Desert. Unfortunately, Julia was unexpectedly attacked by a giant sandworm and lost her life at the age of 22. After her death, the Watchers fell apart, and are now buried beneath the sands, much like many other fleeting Wanderer groups.
"This happened two years ago, which means Julia would be 24 years old this year."
24 years old, a member of the Truth Society!
Bai Fu pondered thoughtfully.
The intelligence reported Julia's death, but in reality, Julia had not died. Instead, she had joined the Truth Society, and it seemed that something significant had happened during that time.
"It feels like there's a task involved here, it's just that I don't know how good the rewards for the task would be."
Bai Fu put the matter aside for the moment; she now had a grander plan in mind.
Regardless of whether or not she could obtain the Spiritual Ability Knowledge she desired from Julia, she had thoroughly offended both the Truth Society and the Genetic Primordial due to safety concerns; she had to focus on developing herself properly next.
She had two ideas.
The first idea was, of course, to continue collecting Spiritual Ability Knowledge to lay the groundwork for unlocking Advanced Professions. The second idea involved the Players.
Her adversaries were not a single individual or Monster, but two massive forces. Even if she unlocked Advanced Professions and reached the pinnacle of power on this planet, it would be difficult for her to take on the Truth Society and the Genetic Primordial alone.
There's no way the Newbie Planet would allow for someone so extraordinary!
To achieve her goal, she needed other forms of assistance, and the first thing she thought of was the Players.
However, this time Bai Fu decided to change the way she interacted with the Players.
Her previous actions had attracted a lot of Players' attention, but attention is just that—attention; it was far from being converted into actual combat power. As Players explored deeper into the game and saw more, their focus would gradually shift elsewhere.
The dazzling world could easily captivate one's eyes.
Bai Fu, having once been a Player herself, understood that most Players are fickle.
One second, the Players might treat her sweetly, but the next, they might call her Mrs. Beefy.
After all, there were no shortage of NPCs in the game who were better-looking, more powerful, and more mysterious than her.
To ensure that the Players who currently liked her would continue to follow her steadfastly in the future, aside from constantly improving her power and adding various settings for herself, she had to bind the Players more tightly to her chariot.
Once the Players became part of her common interest group, they would be less likely to readily abandon her for something else. After all, the Players had already invested heavily; if they abandoned her, they would suffer many losses.
Indeed, Bai Fu's plan was to recruit Players to join her Silent Court Camp.
You're right, the Silent Court currently is nothing but an empty shell, but precisely because it's an empty shell, you would become valued members upon joining, rather than being treated like abused labor, as in other Camps!
Would you rather experience the pain of being a laborer like a beast of burden in other Camps, or the joy of being employee number 001 in the Silent Court Camp established by your beloved Fufu, as you grow together with the Camp?
Action speaks louder than words, so join the Silent Court now ... oops, I misspoke. What I meant to say was, join the Silent Court right now.
Bai Fu's main appeal was the sense of achievement and immersion she provided in mmorpgs, where Players could develop a farming experience, growing from a small village into a super grand empire.
Some Players preferred not to farm but to reward themselves, and she also catered to that expectation.
She had spun many stories in front of Digging Girl, and now was the time for those stories to have an effect.
[Hello everyone, I'm Bai Fu. I've encountered some very bad people, a bunch of gangsters. Under their persecution, I've ended up stranded on Ancestral Origin Star. I need your help urgently, and those who sponsor me will be handsomely rewarded when I return to the Silent Court!]
With this strategy, she was likely to attract a large number of Players into the fold.
No, it would be wrong to call it a trap.
One day, when the Players and she together built the Silent Court into a superpower that spanned the universe, looking back at the path they had taken, all of it would become an unforgettable memory for a generation of game enthusiasts!
Bai Fu would call it "The Games We Played Together in Those Years" or "To Our Eventual Youth."
From the start, her goal was to become an enduring sentiment within the hearts of a generation of Players, like "Zhao Ling'er." In doing so, she would indirectly attain the goal of immortality.
...
After resting for the night, on the second day, at the crossroads leading to the depths of the Goli Desert, Bai Fu turned her head to look at Digging Girl, standing by her side.
"Some things I must make clear to you now."
Ah?
Digging Girl looked around in confusion until she was certain Bai Fu was speaking to her. She immediately became excited, as these kinds of statements from NPCs usually meant that important information was to follow.
Bai Fu's eyes revealed seriousness, "From here on, the journey will be extremely dangerous. If you still want to accompany me, you must be mentally prepared."
Danger?
I am danger itself!
Unafraid, Digging Girl declared, "I'm not scared, I've been ready for this for a long time."
Bai Fu shook her head, "The dangers I'm talking about are not just the many threats we may encounter on the way, nor the possibility that we might be ambushed at Shelter 11. These dangers are nothing compared to what lies ahead."
Digging Girl asked in confusion, "Then, Fufu, what are you talking about?"
"Did An Ya tell you before that I come from the Silent Court?"
"Uh huh." Digging Girl nodded eagerly.
Bai Fu said, "What I need to do next is to find the way back there. The road is dangerous and very long, so long that you may not see the end in a short time, or even know where we are heading. I hope you can think it over carefully before giving me your answer, so you won't regret your decision. I am not in a rush to leave. You have plenty of time to think."
Digging Girl's eyes shone even brighter.
Fufu is going to reveal everything to her!
If she were a player who pursued fast leveling, she might indeed opt out, because the tasks related to Fufu were obviously going to be very difficult, promising no quick rewards. However, as a YouTuber who specialized in exploring the storyline of the game, she had no reason to refuse.
Digging Girl smiled, calm and confident, "No need to think. I won't regret it. From the moment I got into your car, Fufu, I made my decision."
She felt she must look very cool right now.
Wondering if it was enough to touch Fufu, maybe raise the affinity level a bit higher.
Bai Fu's affinity for Digging Girl had indeed increased, but not because she was touched.
This kid, so easy to hoodwink!
Love it.
Bai Fu pulled out a badge from her chest.
She had sneaked out to have it engraved the night before, and the badge bore an image of an eye, crudely drawn.
"Since that's the case, take this."
Digging Girl received a game prompt.
[Bai Fu invites you to join the camp [Silent Court], do you accept?]
Was there even anything to hesitate about?
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
Accept.
Next, she received a Profession Knowledge Book from Bai Fu, which was required for transferring professions to become a Spiritual Ability Prayer Master.
"Whether to become a Spiritual Ability Prayer Master is up to you."
Holding the book in one hand and the badge in the other, Digging Girl took a few photos of her smiling face, then went on a photo frenzy with her Knowledge Book and badge.
After capturing the photos, she naturally opened the community, edited her post, and then published it.
[Extra, extra, I, Digging Girl, have successfully joined Fufu's camp, the Silent Court!]
In the past few days, players had been incessantly discussing Bai Fu, who had provoked both the Truth Society and the Genetic Primordial. As soon as Digging Girl's post went live, it immediately blew up the forums, propelling the discussion about Bai Fu to a new peak.
