When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 116 - 57 The First Step to Becoming a BOSS [Subscribe Requested]

[Spiritual Ability Source]

[Task Introduction: Xia Shi shared with you her past experiences. Does the mysterious 001 archive really exist, and is the content recorded in it true? History shrouded in dust awaits your exploration!]

[Task Objective: Find the 001 archive mentioned by Xia Shi]

[Rewards: 30,000 Experience Points, Exploration Degree, Memory Fragment]

[Accept/Reject]

A task unfolded before Bai Fu, and she didn't hesitate to accept it.

The rewards for this task weren't considered high for her anymore, but the Exploration Degree and Memory Fragments piqued her interest. It was the first time she had encountered such abstract task rewards. Even if not for the sake of finding a way to leave Ancestral Origin Star and enter the starry sky, she was curious to see what these two were all about.

"Where is that laboratory you mentioned?" Bai Fu inquired.

Xia Shi didn't conceal the information: "It's in Sea Capital, but the lab is underground, and ordinary people simply can't get in. I'll help you look for it next time we return to Sea Capital."

It seemed this was the only way to proceed for the time being.

Bai Fu was not a member of the Genetic Primordial, and they wouldn't allow her to easily enter their labs, so she had to ask Xia Shi for help first.

The car sped along, and after about fifteen minutes, they finally returned to Lynn.

As soon as they got out of the car, Lu Yuelin had Li Cheng taken into the interrogation room and simultaneously blocked the news from getting out. The stakes were high, and even he, who was generally lackadaisical, took the matter seriously this time.

Bai Fu sat in the long corridor.

No one approached her for a chat, but everyone who passed by whispered among themselves. Most were shocked or questioning, yet a few looked at Bai Fu as if seeing their own mother.

The White Reaper?

No.

She was the damn God of Wealth!

Recently, a betting pool had opened on the Dark Web, wagering whether Bai Fu would survive the next round of assassination by the Truth Society. Some special agents, having nothing better to do, placed bets on her.

They hadn't wagered much, thinking that if they lost, it wouldn't be a big loss, but Bai Fu not only survived but also actually exposed a spy hidden among them. Now, they just regretted not betting more, missing the chance to make a killing.

"I've brought the person and the information you requested."

Right at that moment, the head of the action team walked down the corridor with An Ya, handing Bai Fu a hard drive filled with advanced Spiritual Ability Knowledge.

He smiled as bright as an anthropomorphic sunflower.

"Don't worry, if that old bastard Li Cheng's father dares to trouble you, just let me know. Here's my contact."

Bai Fu didn't bother with pleasantries, as it's useful to have multiple connections.

After undergoing some simple questioning elsewhere, she returned to Xia Shi's house ahead of everyone else.

She had An Ya take a shower while she claimed the rewards for the [Who's the Spy?] task.

A transparent glass bottle materialized in her hand. It was an oral solution—good thing. If it were an injectable potion, she wouldn't dare to take it randomly for fear of injecting it incorrectly.

She opened the seal, tilted back her head, and drank the Genetic Enhancement Potion in one gulp. The potion had neither a strange taste nor odor, but instead carried a hint of coolness. However, once it reached her stomach, a burning sensation suddenly surged up and rapidly transformed into a more intense stimulus.

Bai Fu was prepared and thus didn't cry out. She didn't use the Enhancement Potion in the car precisely to avoid causing a commotion.

She silently endured the stabbing pain that exploded from deep within her muscles. The pain came in waves, occasionally accompanied by a sudden softness in her bones. To be honest, this feeling was even worse than when she unlocked the Evolution Blood Template.

[1%... 2.3%...]

The enhancement progress bar slowly climbed.

After about fifteen minutes, all discomfort disappeared, and the progress bar finally reached full value.

[Your Evolution Blood Template has been enhanced]

[You gained 5 points of Power, 4 points of Agility, 2 points of Constitution]

[You've acquired the talent [Resilient Body]]

This result delighted Bai Fu. Not only had her attributes significantly increased, but she also gained a new talent.

The effect of Robust Physique was straightforward—add a fixed +200 Life Value and 2% to all Abnormal Resistance. The resistance value was still low, so its worth wasn't evident, but +200 Life Value was highly significant for Bai Fu at this moment.

Bai Fu opened her attribute panel, and her current experience was at [222048] points. She invested experience into the Spiritual Ability Prayer Master profession and raised its level to Lv6.

This round of upgrading caused her attributes to spike dramatically.

[Life Value]: 1362/1410

[Spiritual Ability Value]: 195/195

[attributes]: Power 18, Agility 19, Constitution 59, Intelligence 11, Spirit 21, Inspiration 33

Compared to before exposing Li Cheng, her Life Value had risen by 360 points, nearly equivalent to an entire Li Cheng.

She felt like she was into cannibalism now.

With her strength after upgrading, even without weakening Li Cheng's Life Value, she could rely on her agility advantage to play him to death.

Bai Fu estimated that against an ordinary elite (Li Cheng had the dual bonuses of a template and talent), if there were no specialized Life Value enhancement template, even if their first Profession reached level 30, the Life Value would usually only be between 500-1000. Her own first Profession was currently only level 16. By the time she reached level 30, her Life Value would likely have broken 2000.

If she had to describe her current state with one word, her choice would be "Super Crash Test Dummy."

"Just by looking at the length of the blood bar, I almost have the air of a BOSS already, but to truly become a BOSS, I need to find a way to acquire better talents, rare professions, and templates."

Bai Fu inserted the hard drive she had gotten from Lu Yuelin into Xia Shi's terminal.

During the last meeting in the conference room, due to limited time, she only managed to unlock one Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain and a new skill; now was a good time to absorb the remaining incomplete Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain (7).

To her surprise, after bringing her mastery of the Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain (7) to 46%, she found an incomplete Spiritual Ability Profession [Apprentice Spiritual Ability Painter] on the hard drive, which was precisely for combat using Spiritual Ability Cards.

"So the upper and lower segments are connected after all!"

Bai Fu thought of the Prayer Card Making Atlas she had obtained from Li Cheng.

If previously she was unsure of what path to take next, now she had made up her mind.

Yes, this is the one to learn!

Bai Fu had always been considering how to keep cashing in on her enormous popularity among the player community.

In this world, just as in the world she had come from, money isn't everything, but without money, you're nothing.

Clearly, sweet-talking players into willingly handing over all their money to her was not only an impractical approach, but it would also ruin her reputation. She couldn't make money like Digging Girl and other UPs by taking advertising deals with An Ya or electric toothbrushes, so she had to start selling merchandise.

But what kind of merchandise would provide lasting income? Bai Fu pondered this for a long time.

First, she could rule out the path of becoming a popular idol and then selling photo collections, merchandise, and handshake tickets.

Secondly, selling Profession Knowledge Books was not a viable path either, as these weren't consumable items. Once she sold one copy, players could easily copy countless more, and eventually, she wouldn't make much money. She was better off treating Profession Knowledge Books as rewards for tasks or little surprises to increase player affinity.

The emergence of the Spiritual Ability Painter Profession perfectly solved Bai Fu's dilemma.

The force of the Spiritual Ability Painter Profession was not low, certainly far stronger than her current profession, the Spiritual Ability Prayer Master, and the Prayer Cards produced by the Spiritual Ability Painter Profession were quite outstanding props. They were always useful for players, perfect to continuously drain players' gold coins.

But all that was for the future. For now, she hadn't unlocked the Spiritual Ability Painter Profession. Even though she could produce Prayer Cards after learning from the Prayer Card Making Atlas, the success rate of producing them was simply too touching.

[Custom Card・Fervor Lv3]: Production success rate 25%

[Custom Card・Combat Etiquette]: Production success rate 20%

Even with the bonus success rate from the Luck Talent, these figures were far from ideal.

Bai Fu wasn't planning on putting too much effort into this for now; she would just casually make a few Prayer Cards to test the waters.

There probably wouldn't be much action in the area for the next few days, and the Truth Society wouldn't send someone to kill her so soon. She decided to use this rare leisure time to, well, bond with players.

Thinking of this, she opened the community to see what the players who had just arrived in Lynn were doing.

The community was abuzz with activity, with all the posts on the homepage discussing her battle with Li Cheng and others.

"360-degree View of Fufu's Battle Glory"

"Heavenly God Descends to Fight Seven Alone, This Is the Power of Technology Stream!"

"Technology? Mystery! The Key to Victory is Controlling Your Opponent to Throw Their Weapon"

Players were going wild, occasionally blurting out phrases like "Fufu leg-for-a-year," while others were arguing over which stream had the more badass profession.

Amidst the plethora of posts and comments, Bai Fu occasionally saw remarks by players who had firsthand experience in the battle.

Most expressed profound regret; they had finally gotten a chance to participate in the story but accomplished almost nothing due to their own lack of strength.

[Sigh, I wonder if I made any good impression on Fu today]

[Damn it, feels like I've lost a huge opportunity, all because the shuttle bus between the Abandoned Cooling Factory and Lynn is too infrequent. Otherwise, I could've been like those guys, improving Bai Fu's affinity ahead of time]

[Need to improve my power first. From what happened earlier, if you don't unlock Advanced Professions, you can have all the Affinity in the world but still can't get tasks]

[I just saw some guy who wanted to join Team Fu get a loan and ended up getting hacked to death by a gang member pretending to be smart, hysterical][Planning to buy a gun, it's easier to complete tasks with one]

[Where can I buy one, take me with you]

The most frequently appearing words in these replies were "buy guns" and "do tasks to level up."

Bai Fu's eyes narrowed slightly; she seemed to have found a way to both increase player affinity and make a quick buck.

What's foreseeable is that more and more players will be coming from the Abandoned Cooling Factory, and these players, just like the ones posting in the forum, are eager to buy guns.

Buying guns costs money, and since someone has to make money from the players, why couldn't that person be her?

The only problem is that she doesn't produce guns, but no worries, she can be the middleman.

Bai Fu had her sights on two sources of goods.

The first was the area itself.

Every once in a while, the area would phase out a batch of firearms with reduced durability. Her plan was to buy these guns and resell them to players.

She wasn't concerned at all that this would tarnish her image; there are no trash products, only trash prices!

While these guns might be subpar, that's only the case for professional special agents. For players, they are still rare gems, especially when priced low.

Just like selling mining cards in the Seafood Market, if you disguise a mined card as 99% new and privately used by a lady and set a high price, you'd be just born yesterday. But if you openly say you're selling mined cards at a low price, you come off as a godsend!

The second source was those gangs who are always selling firearms and ammunition.

Bai Fu planned to disguise testing the players as delivering a blow to these gangs, and then she'd secretly sell the weapons confiscated from these gangs to the players.
