When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 237 - 100 Exploration Degree increase, unlocking the opportunity for Advanced Profession【5k】
Digging Girl gave Bai Fu two maps, one was of the current Goli Desert and the other was a map before it became a desert; both maps had a conspicuous red cross marked at the same coordinates.
[Spiritual Ability Research Institute Branch No. 2]
Next to the red cross was a note written by Digging Girl.
After examining the maps, Bai Fu discovered that the location of the research institute used to be a seldom-visited valley, but after the "Great Catastrophe," the Goli region had completely transformed into a desert. So there were no longer any hills, valleys, or cliff faces—just sand as far as the eye could see.
"It's over 300 kilometers away from Shelter No. 11, no wonder Old Nison couldn't make it back after leaving the institute."
Without the map feature provided by players, it would have been difficult to unearth that research institute using the pre-catastrophe maps of the Goli region.
"The exceptional contributions you've made will be remembered by all the sages of the Silent Court!"
Bai Fu lavishly praised Digging Girl and the players in the exploration team.
Recently, she had awarded Patrick, who had won first place in the martial contest, with a specially made silver Eye of Heaven Medal dubbed "Martial Fighter Medal," and it had been quite well received among the players. Therefore, she decided to apply the same trick again and reward all the players who found the research institute with a new Eye of Heaven Medal.
The name would be Explorer Medal, and there was no need to change the design—just changing the color to a distinctive gold would highlight its unique attribute.
Technology is based on changing the shell, and honor is primarily about changing the color—no problem!
Bai Fu had prepared over a dozen colors for the Eye of Heaven Medal. If all the colors were used up, she would slightly alter the design of the medal, add something to it, and then begin a new round of color-swapping.
After sending Digging Girl away, Bai Fu went to Old Nison's tavern and took Little Julia out of the box on the second floor.
"How do you feel?"
Having been deeply affected by the news that some of her relatives and friends had chosen to end their lives rather than burden her, Little Julia went through a severe emotional breakdown.
But after recoiling for about ten days, she seemed to have slowly accepted reality.
Just feeling sad and angry was useless; she had to figure out a way to make those who persecuted her feel the same sadness, or even render them unable to feel sorrow ever again!
"Help me get my revenge, and you can ask me to do anything you want!"
Although it was merely a doll lying in the palm of her hand, Bai Fu strangely felt a chilling sensation of being watched.
Why did she get the feeling that Julia seemed about to transform into a boss character?

On second thought, it seemed like a classic setup. Originally a kind character is betrayed by someone she once trusted, losing not only her freedom but also her family and friends one by one.
Eventually, she turned to the dark side under the crushing weight of despair and repression.
As the saying goes, turning dark makes you three times stronger; filled with overwhelming anger, she gained power and struck down her enemies, but by then, she could no longer turn back.
Once you enter the abyss, there is no return!
After a series of self-proclaimed superhero NPCs fell, the ones arriving on the scene were—
Players intent on following the main task's trail!
"If you show me your Blood Bar, I'll kill even a God in front of you."
"Julia's storyline couldn't possibly develop like this, could it?"
Bai Fu paused, then shook her head.
Even if it was originally planned that way, it should have deviated by now.
The reason was simple. Because of her intrusion, in Julia's eyes, the most important person aside from her biological parents, Old Nison, was not only not in danger but thriving. His tavern business was booming, players flocked to him, and his past dreams were within reach of coming true.
Given the current situation, as long as Old Nison didn't meet a tragic end, Julia wouldn't go completely dark.
Bai Fu poked Little Julia's belly, feeling like she had discovered a blindspot.
She had been contemplating how to snatch the main character's storyline, aiming to become the new main character herself. So what if she changed the story of the future main antagonist, making the future boss her sidekick? Could she possibly gain the same enhancements as if she'd taken over the main character's storyline?
The more Bai Fu thought about it, the more she felt this approach was worth a try. Even if the experiment failed, reducing the number of terrifying villain bosses in the world would itself be a merit.
Having been involved in fleecing players for some time, it was indeed prudent to amass some Cyber Karma in her free time!
Little Julia stared at Bai Fu with piercing eyes, quietly waiting for her response, but what happened next was completely unexpected.
Bai Fu first poked her belly with a finger, and then, as she looked at her, Bai Fu's gaze grew hotter and hotter, as if something scalding were about to spill out from her eyes.
"!"
She felt a chill.
No way, no way, someone couldn't seriously harbor evil thoughts toward a cloth doll about 20 centimeters long, could they?
Distracted by Bai Fu's gaze, she momentarily forgot the hatred in her heart and felt an unusual sense of "calm."
Bai Fu took a deep breath: "Rest assured, I will eventually crush the Truth Society. I'm here today because I need your help."
In conversation with Old Nison, he mentioned that Julia's Spiritual Energy talent was unlocked after being illuminated by a beam of light in the desert, which led her to suspect that the light was related to a laboratory buried under the yellow sands. Therefore, she planned to bring Little Julia there for a visit.
After hearing Bai Fu's request, Little Julia quickly agreed. She had lain in the box for too long and was eager to see the outside world.
