When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 160 - 74 Desert Reaper Bai Fu is here【5.7k】_2

Bai Fu remembered a trading market she had passed by on her way to Shelter No. 5, where people were buying materials dropped by Mutated Sand Worms. She could have Players hunt Mutated Sand Worms outside and collect their materials, which she would buy and then sell to the purchasers at Shelter No. 5 at a slightly higher price.

This way, she made a profit, and the Players had a steady source of income. After earning money, they would spend it at her establishment. In the end, all the money would still end up in her pocket.

The only problem was that she needed to find a merchant who could handle the volume of Mutated Sand Worm materials collected by the Players.

After resting until evening and once everyone was ready, Bai Fu and Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi each drove a car toward Red Sand Camp.

Along the way, they encountered several Sandworm attacks, and Old Nison's power was put on full display.

Even with only one eye left, the moment he took the Sniper Rifle handed to him by Bai Fu, he easily eliminated approaching Sandworms with precision shots—a true testament to the composure of a master artist.

"If it were back in the day, I could've been ten seconds faster!"

Old Nison proudly retracted back into the vehicle.

The two petty thugs from Red Sand Camp who had been captured had held on to the hope of being rescued after arriving at Red Sand Camp. However, seeing the strength of an "Old Man" like Old Nison, they immediately felt a chill in their hearts.

They were doomed.

What kind of Monsters had they provoked!

...

At three-thirty in the morning.

The cars stopped in an empty space two kilometers from Red Sand Camp, and Old Nison started explaining to the Players the tactics he had contemplated for the entire day.

"The majority of people from Red Sand Camp are out, but there are still sixty or seventy people inside, three times our number. It would be very unwise to attack head-on. We must first lure a portion of them out, and then annihilate them in groups."

"My plan is to use the corpses of those two captives as bait to hook Red Sand Camp for the first wave. After eliminating the people they send out to check, we'll split our forces in two. A few will stay at the front to continue the lure, while the rest will circle around and attack from the back."

"If we can breach Red Sand Camp in this sneak attack, it would be ideal. If not, we move to step three, drawing the people from Red Sand into a trap."

Old Nison pulled out a map he had drawn earlier, pointing at the traps with his pen.

"Luring them straight into the trap might not work on them initially, but after two waves of our sneak attacks, and should they succeed in repelling our second wave, there's a high chance they'll follow hot-headed."

He paused and looked around.

"What do you think of this plan?"

Patrick nodded, "Not bad."

"The devotee of my Fu," seconded, "It's very well-thought-out."

Old Nison smiled faintly, "Then it's decided. This plan minimizes casualties."

"Hold on a second." Just then, the eager-to-stand-out Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi stood up, "I have a suggestion regarding this plan."

"Hmm?"

Everyone turned their heads in unison towards Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi.

As the Chairman of a large Guild, Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi often commanded Players in battles in other games, so his suggestions were worth listening to.

"To be honest, I think complex tactics are not very useful for us at the moment. We haven't undergone professional training, and we haven't really coordinated with each other before. It's easy for things to go wrong, and if any mishap causes the plan to fail, making a second trip over here would waste a lot of time."

Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi's remarks received nods of agreement from all the Players present.

They had gathered because of Bai Fu, and they had barely worked together before. Asking them to execute complex tactics perfectly was indeed a tall order.

"So my plan is to forgo those complicated baiting tactics. When the time comes, we'll just take these two captives directly to the people of Red Sand and ask for justice. When Red Sand's people get close, we'll throw the Mutated Sand Worm Poison Sacks at them. That will surely cause chaos in Red Sand Camp. Then, whether we move in for a direct attack or retreat to lure them into our trap, either option will be viable."

Poison Sacks?

This reminded Patrick and the others of the Task of collecting Poison Sacks at the Abandoned Cooling Factory.

"This method is indeed good. After all, we're not afraid of the Mutants. If we get lucky and hit either Marco or Rattlesnake, then the Task would be declared complete right away."

The Players praised the idea one after another.

Among them, the most excited was undoubtedly the gamer Afu. Playing a game should be just like this—not worrying about tactics, just rush B and go.

"But this means we'll need to collect some Poison Sacks first, which could delay us a bit, and it might be daylight if we wait too long."

"That's not a problem at all." Old Dog from the Iron Rain Guild pulled out a bag full of Poison Sacks, "Before we left, Brother Jian and the others spent the afternoon grinding Sand Worms. We should have enough Poison Sacks."

Seeing all these Poison Sacks, the other Players' eyes lit up.

"Awesome!"

"My God, Brother Jian, you really think of everything."

Some solo Players had initially harbored Hostility towards Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi and his group, fearing they would take over the Task, leaving them with nothing. But now, their views had completely changed. Having a high-level Player like Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi leading was genuinely beneficial.

Amid admiring gazes, Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi's mood soared.

Turn the tide, from now on!

Damn Truth Society, just wait. I'll join Bai Fu in storming into your headquarters sooner or later!
