When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 541 - 192 Official true setting, Player Mentor Bai Fu [5.5k]
Chapter 541: 192 Official true setting, Player Mentor Bai Fu [5.5k]
Every time there was an update, Digging Girl would make a deciphering video based on the promotional clips, which were very popular among the player community. Players found that no matter how exaggerated her claims in the videos were, as long as they concerned Bai Fu, they would eventually be confirmed as true.
For example, Digging Girl claimed that Bai Fu was the main character of Ancestral Origin Star and three updates later, everyone discovered that Bai Fu was not only the main character of Ancestral Origin Star but the true main character, becoming a legendary main character recorded in the history of Ancestral Origin Star.
Another example was when Digging Girl said that Bai Fu’s story in the Star Sea narrative wouldn’t end, and indeed this became a reality. In version 1.3, Bai Fu not only made a name for herself in the Sea Lion Star System but also returned to Indigo Star, proving herself to be the Ghost Night Dominator.
Now, players were very eager to know what other stories and settings pertained to Bai Fu.
Before Digging Girl released her new video, a player who claimed to be the deputy director of the Fu Sect’s promotional department posted a thread called "Three Questions for Fufu" in the community, sparking widespread discussion.
"First question: just how old is Fufu this year?"
As everyone knows, the Demon God chaos on Indigo Star happened hundreds of years ago, and the Ghost Night Dominator was also one of the very first Demon Gods to come into existence hundreds of years ago. From this perspective, Ghost Night Dominator Bai Fu is at least four to five hundred years old.
But making such a statement outright could be problematic because in the world above the stars, there is the concept of reincarnation.
"Fufu might have been reincarnated and is still a teenage girl this lifetime!"
"A teenager? An old white-haired granny!"
"[Be careful or Fufu might punch you to death]"
"Old granny? Wife!"
"[You wish, Fufu is my wife, alright?]
The discussion about Bai Fu’s real age eventually went completely off-track amid arguments, but what really caught the player’s attention were the next two questions.
"Second question: How did Fufu get from Indigo Star to Ancestral Origin Star?"
There were many speculations among players regarding this question.
Some players believed that Bai Fu and An Ya accidentally encountered a spatial rift, were sucked into it, and by sheer luck, didn’t die, eventually ending up at Ancestral Origin Star.
Others thought this explanation was too simplistic, unable to explain the background settings that Bai Fu had previously hinted at, like betrayal and returning to the Rebirth Empire, nor could it account for why Bai Fu’s power had increased so fast or why there wasn’t a force called Silent Court on Indigo Star.
The discussion on the third question was no less intense than the second one.
"Third question: What exactly is Fufu’s role in the game?"
Main Character?
Spiritual Ability Profession Tutor?
After four updates, even the slowest players could see that things weren’t that straightforward. Among a host of NPCs, Bai Fu’s power might not be the strongest, but she was definitely the most active. Her role had to be complex.
Digging Girl’s new video release was almost simultaneous with the official promo, divided into two parts.
The first half of the video analyzed the new content of the 1.4 update, which wasn’t much to decipher really, as the 1.4 update mainly increased the player’s level cap and added small updates as a prelude to the official player PK competition.
The second half of the video was her personal take on those three hot topics from the community.
"After the main task on Indigo Star was finished, I started thinking about how to do this video, and today I can finally share with you how I view Fufu!"
In the video, Digging Girl excitedly waved her right hand, and then two photos of Bai Fu appeared beside her.
One was Bai Fu, the cold and distant Ghost Night Dominator, reminiscent of Silver Moon, and the other was a cheery Q-version Fufu.
"She is both a daunting Demon God and a warm-hearted big sister;"
"She is both the aloof Card Queen and also..."
Accompanied by ongoing narration, the images of Ghost Night Dominator Bai Fu and Q-version Fufu alternated onscreen, luring countless players to repeatedly spam the video with comments.
"Queen Fufu is the best Fufu, Fufu step on me!"
"[Nonsense, the gentle Dear Fu is truly the best in the world!]"
Toward the end, Digging Girl solemnly tapped the small blackboard behind her with a long ruler.
"She is Fufu, she’s not merely an icon, but represents the Stars above more than any current icon!"
"Recently, many have been asking me about my views on Fufu’s role in the game Stars above. My answer is..."
The sound of a typewriter drowned out Digging Girl’s voice, and then two characters appeared on the small blackboard—
Mentor!
"Yes, you saw it right. In my view, neither the main character nor the Spiritual Ability Profession Tutor can adequately encapsulate Fufu’s role in the game. Fufu’s true role is as a Mentor— not only to players, but also to a host of NPCs!"
As these words were spoken, the video screen was filled with question marks.
Even Bai Fu, who was watching the video at that moment, paused for a second.
Oh.
So that’s the angle they went for.
Before opening Digging Girl’s new video, she thought that the video would at most analyze her background story, what tasks she might trigger in the future, and re-emphasize at the end that even in the Star Sea, she remained a main character with a substantial part.
But to her surprise, Digging Girl completely broke from the conventional approach and immediately heightened her praise to a new level.
Main character? Profession Tutor?
