When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 375 - 146 New version update preview, Evolution into a super popular idol Bai Fu [6k]_3
Xia Shi leaned against the hospital bed, her complexion pale, her eyes lifeless, until she heard Bai Fu's voice and barely lifted her head.
This was the first time she could meet outsiders after undergoing a heap of checks and treatments.
Her voice was hoarse and dry as she said, "The doctor said I'm recovering very quickly."
Bai Fu sat down by the bed, "How do you feel?"
Xia Shi shook her head, "I don't know."
She had never been an outgoing person, and now she had become even more introverted.
Bai Fu asked, "Can't accept that you are an artificial human?"
"No, it's just that I find it absurd. You know, I joined Ghost Night because I despised the Truth Society and hated them for mercilessly killing the innocent. But..." Xia Shi clutched the bedsheet tightly, "in the end, I found the Genetic Primordial I was part of to be darker than the Truth Society."
Bai Fu suddenly understood.
It wasn't a collapse of faith, but something close to it.
If Julia had simply lost her goal and didn't know what to do, then Xia Shi was actually disgusted with herself.
"You haven't done anything wrong, it's the Genetic Primordial that is at fault."
Xia Shi forced a smile, "I've thought about what you said, but I can't get over this hurdle; it's like a void suddenly opened up in my heart, and I don't know what to use to fill that emptiness. It's very painful."
She crossed her arms, hugging her arms as if caught in a cold wind, her body trembling slightly.
Bai Fu held her right cheek, curious, "If I said to use me to fill the void in you, would you think it could work?"
Xia Shi looked at Bai Fu with confusion.
Bai Fu said, "I am your savior. Normally, you should repay me, right?"
"That's right."
"Well then, that makes things easy. I don't care if you're introverted or have come to terms with it. I want you to repay me by studying the mechanical knowledge I teach you and then using that knowledge to rebuild Ancestral Origin Star."
"Rebuild Ancestral Origin Star?" Xia Shi was even more puzzled.
Bai Fu handed a personal terminal to Xia Shi, "I've collaborated with the Railroad Guild and other powers to initiate a plan to rebuild Ancestral Origin Star, aiming to restore it to its pre-Great Catastrophe state. Watch the videos on the terminal for the details. I've also entered all the mechanical knowledge in there. Study it well – that's what you owe me. Until you've completed the task I've given you and repaid your debt to me, you're not allowed to die."
Having said that, she handed over a True Spirit Pillar Fragment to Xia Shi.
"This you keep; it has a certain enhancing effect on your body, and it will help you better complete my task."
The master's task, huh?
Xia Shi held the terminal and True Spirit Pillar Fragment given to her by Bai Fu. The weight pressing on her palm couldn't fill the void in her heart, but at least it temporarily distracted her from those matters.
"Thank you."
Bai Fu nodded, sitting in the ward for another ten minutes before leaving.
As soon as she exited, she saw Julia leaning against the wall.
"Let's go. Come to the lab with me to research which parts of my body can help you recover your Spiritual Energy when touched. I need data to analyze the specific mechanism of Spiritual Energy recovery."
Julia pulled Bai Fu towards the hospital exit. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Bai Fu: "..."
Such a scheming woman; you'd better genuinely want to conduct experiments.
Julia was actually very calm; she bore no Hostility towards Xia Shi. All of this stemmed from confidence – she believed that as long as she kept advancing, Bai Fu would never leave her and she would always be the most important person to Bai Fu, besides An Ya!
For the entire afternoon, Bai Fu and Julia conducted experiments in the lab until they were both dizzy.
"Glug glug glug..."
After returning home, Bai Fu guzzled down several mouthfuls of water.
She hadn't intended to experiment for so long, but Julia had a point.
"If you don't cooperate with my experiments now, then later when you're fighting and run out of Spiritual Energy, and want to recover, you'll have two choices: One is to drink my blood, and the other, well, you wouldn't want to do that in front of a large audience, would you..."
"Enough, let's just start researching now."
To tell the truth, Bai Fu was very skeptical about whether Julia was really engrossed in the research, because during their verbal sparring, the Fragile Mage Julia 's name had a [Dizziness] debuff next to it.
Well, let's just trust her this time.
After taking a bath, Bai Fu lay on the bed and began scrolling through the Community.
While browsing, she stumbled upon a newly hot-posted thread—
"Who exactly is the Ghost Night Dominator? Let's delve into Bai Fu's backstory!"
The player who posted it was called "Sweet Tofu Brain", from Indigo Star.
Upon entering the thread, Bai Fu saw many players arguing about sweet bean curd versus salty bean curd, but even more were discussing the contents of the post itself.
After Digging Girl confidently stated that Bai Fu was unquestionably the Ghost Night Dominator, Sweet Tofu Brain started collecting all the legends about Ghost Night Dominator on Indigo Star. The post depicts these stories.
[The Ghost Night Dominator on Indigo Star isn't an orthodox faith but an outer god not accepted by the public. This matches what Fufu said because according to her, she comes from the Rebirth Empire, which is precisely an outer god, isn't it?]
[It is said that Ghost Night Dominator is a dual-natured god with two souls: one is gentle, and the other excels at deception. The gentle soul needs no further mention. The deceitful soul, to be accurate, can't exactly be called a bad woman – she seems like the kind of god who loves to amuse herself. She hasn't really done any great evil. The distaste towards her comes from her fondness for lying and laughing uproariously in the face of those she deceives. Honestly, if you haven't been tricked by her, you might find this personality rather interesting.]
