When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 46 - 31 Let the players charge ahead [Seeking to follow up]

The death of Number Seven made Bai Fu feel that helping players enhance their power at the right moment was indeed a very good decision.

Had it not been for this, even if the group of players had managed to knock Number Seven to the ground, they would have found it very difficult to suppress him. Without the players' efforts, her desire to reap Number Seven's life would have been a mere fantasy.

Of course, not only did Bai Fu win big in this battle, but so did the players.

The level difference between Number Seven and the players was substantial, leading to a high bonus in experience gain.

After his death, even players who had only inflicted 2 points of damage received a reward of 196 experience points, and the player who threw the Poison Sack gained as much as 1724 experience, making the other players incredibly envious.

In a flash, all the players excitedly surrounded Bai Fu.

Who wouldn't like a good-looking NPC who could also lead them through levels?

[Angel!]

[If I had known Bai Fu would come, I would have used all my props to attack that jerk and now I've missed out on hundreds of experience, I'm crying]

[Don't stop me, next time there's something like this, I'm definitely going to rush to the front]

[Dream on, you think you'll get another chance at something this good?]

Bai Fu didn't stay long at the player's stronghold; she just made a round to enhance her presence in the players' hearts and then left.

Before returning to the Wildfire Gang, she strolled around the vicinity, but unfortunately, she did not trigger any tasks with high rewards.

No matter, her gains for the day were already plenty.

Not to mention the experience rewards, as the video of her taking down Number Seven with two shots was posted in the Community, her popularity soared once again, showing a tendency to surpass that of the great Mecha and temporarily top the popularity charts.

Bai Fu was very satisfied.

She felt she couldn't just wait for the game officials to strengthen her, it was necessary to make good use of this popularity, allowing the players to contribute to her rapid leveling plans.

...

The laboratory equipment indicator lights flickered ceaselessly, and Number Nine, who was guarding the door, had his arms crossed and wore a look of impatience on his face.

"How come he's not back yet?"

Eight whole hours had passed since Number Seven left, and during this time, not a single message had come back, making him incredibly unsettled.

After a moment, the laboratory door was pushed open, and the boss of the Wildfire Gang walked in.

"Where is he?" Number Nine asked eagerly.

The Wildfire Gang boss replied, "Couldn't find him."

Number Nine frowned deeply: "If you can't find him, why not send more people out?"

"Wouldn't sending too many people stir up a hornet's nest?"

"Are you fucking brain-damaged?" Number Nine suddenly shouted, "Scared of stirring up a hornet's nest, couldn't you find another excuse, like going after outsiders? Send someone out to look for him now, or wait for the consequences!"

The boss of the Wildfire Gang flushed with anger but eventually yielded obediently.

"I'm on it right now."

With that, he left swiftly.

Although he looked depressed, he was secretly delighted.

Those outsiders were truly fierce, actually managing to make Number Seven disappear, but with Number Seven gone, there was still the trouble of Number Nine.

The boss of the Wildfire Gang steeled his heart and, gritting his teeth, decided to make a big move—

Secretly inform the outsiders and have them get rid of Number Nine as well!

It was a must to kill them; both Number Seven and Number Nine were lunatics. If he didn't take them out, they'd eventually kill him.

"If you're not going to act like a human, then don't blame me for not being one either!"

After exiting through the secret door, the boss of the Wildfire Gang immediately arranged for his men to search for the missing Number Seven. Then, he found Bai Fu.

"Bai Fu, can I trust you?"

His words implied that her name, Bai Fu, meant loyalty!

Bai Fu immediately pledged her loyalty: "I was promoted by you, Boss. In my world, there is no second sun, only you shine like the one and only!"

The Wildfire Gang boss said, "It pleases me to hear that. I've got a very dangerous task at hand. I'm too much of a target myself and it's not suitable for me to act, so I need you to take it on."

Bai Fu nodded: "Just tell me what you need, Boss."

Dangerous?

She'd accept the task first and then decide; if it really was too dangerous, she would run.

The Wildfire Gang boss then described his predicament.

[You have triggered the Hidden Task 'Murder by Proxy']

[Task Description: While dealing with foreign guests, the boss of the Wildfire Gang received threats to his life. Unable to bear it any longer, he decided to make a desperate move and use the players to eliminate the threat. He is aware that this is a very dangerous task, but he still wants to entrust you with this important mission]

[Task Objectives: Inform the players about the existence of Number Nine]

[Rewards: 2000 Experience points, 10 Camp Reputation, 5000 Credit Coins]

Bai Fu's expression was slightly odd.

This task was indeed very dangerous for the other people in the Wildfire Gang; a little carelessness could result in being dealt with by the players, so the setting of a 2000 experience points reward seemed reasonable.

But for her, it was as simple as saying a word; it was practically free experience that should not be wasted.

Seeing Bai Fu accept the task without hesitation, the boss of the Wildfire Gang smiled with relief.

He had thought about asking others for help, but in a place like the Wildfire Gang, even talking about trust made him want to laugh. Everyone was there for their own interests, and asking those who were already full of gains might backfire, with those sly old dogs selling him out to Number Nine. It was more appropriate to rely on an energetic youngster like Bai Fu.

"Go."

The boss of the Wildfire Gang waved his hand, already spotting Number Nine approaching him.

Bai Fu turned and left, walking some distance before faintly overhearing Number Nine stating he would personally participate in the investigation.
