When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 49 - 32 Bai Fu’s Evil Upgrade Method [Trilogy for Follow-up Reads]

By the time Bai Fu had rushed back to the scene, players were already hot on the heels of number nine, charging into the hidden door.

Because the underground passage was quite narrow, many players were still stuck outside, unable to get in.

"What's the situation inside?"

"I heard there's a BOSS inside, and it's said to be very beautiful."

"We're already in a high-level game this soon?"

"Idiot, don't fall for her beauty trap. So what if she's pretty? If she's an enemy, we have to take her down!"

The players left outside were so excited; they hadn't expected to stumble upon a BOSS fight so early in the game. Wasn't this much more fun than the slow brick-laying work of other Newbie Villages?

They only hated that they weren't fast enough to push to the front. If the BOSS was defeated, they would miss out on everything.

As they were growing impatient, suddenly, noise burst forth from up ahead.

"Eh, is it my turn to go in?"

"No way, move back, move back – retreat quickly!"

"What's happening?"

Almost in an instant, chaos erupted near the hidden door.

Bai Fu saw players trying to squeeze in, but even more were desperately trying to flee out.

Was there trouble?

A little over a minute later, every player that had rushed in was forced back out, some of them clearly behaving strangely. They were lashing out at anyone they saw, like berserkers awakening to their bloodline, not sparing even their fellow players.

"Damn it, Old Five, what the hell are you doing? Has this guy defected? Ouch ouch, not my face, dammit."

"You think I want to do this? I've been controlled; I can't control my body. Get out of the way!"

"Ah, I'm about to die here. You owe me experience!"

Bai Fu used Spiritual Vision on the player called Old Five and saw that his name now had a [Spirit Master] status.

[Spirit Master]: Julia's Talent Ability, capable of controlling targets with Inspiration <15 points, the duration depending on the difference in Inspiration between the two parties.

Bai Fu's face darkened; this Talent Ability was absurd. In Newbie Village, where everyone's attributes were low, it could nearly enable indiscriminate killing. After all, her own Inspiration was only at 12 points, and everyone else's was even lower.

No, it wasn't just Newbie Village. Even at level 20, if one had no Inspiration-related Talents, their Inspiration attribute would probably not exceed 15 points, and they'd end up being controlled just the same.

This was insane; how could such a fierce BOSS appear.

Bai Fu stared at the hidden door.

As the players were causing a commotion, a slightly familiar figure emerged from the inside. It was the woman with ice-blue hair who had appeared beside the leader of the Wildfire Gang that day.

That must be Julia.

At that moment, her eyes were wide, with a strange silvery-white glow emanating from her pupils.

"Get out of the way!"

A player yelled in alarm, but it was too late. The two players closest to Julia shook and soon after, a [Spirit Master] status appeared next to their names.

"We're screwed."

Now, both the powerful Patrick and the crafty newcomer 'Fufu' felt numb.

This kind of BOSS was impossible to fight at this stage. She could simply control a portion of the players and topple the entire player base.

Damn it, just like that, the nine that was within reach had flown away. My experience, my experience!

"Haha, thought you were so capable, huh? Come on, show me that arrogance!"

Number Nine stepped out from behind Julia, laughing wildly.

He had hurried back knowing Julia had this ability. It was truly unreasonable, but as long as they had the restraining locks distributed by the Chairman, they didn't need to fear Julia.

Number Nine's arrogant demeanor irked the players to no end.

Fine, fine, you old hag, we've marked you. Just you wait; your head will be ours!

Julia frowned and said sharply, "Shut up."

"You..."

Number Nine had just opened his mouth when his voice was stifled once again.

"If you think you can snipe me, then go ahead and try."

Huh?

Not only Number Nine but the other players were also taken aback.

Snipe, shoot... But no one here had a sniper rifle on hand.

"Think I'm bluffing? Don't forget, I'm a Spiritual Energy expert. My Perception Ability is no worse than any device you carry around."

Julia's gaze landed on a water tower, and the others followed her look.

"I came here after hearing a strange commotion and didn't expect to find such a big fish."

After a moment, a grumpy man with a sniper rifle jumped out from behind the water tower, accompanied by a young woman in work attire.

"Yago, I told you stealth won't work on her."

"Who knows without trying? It might have worked."

The two of them argued briefly, and then Yago turned to Julia: "You may have taken a lot of hostages, but if you think you can escape like that, you're dreaming. Better give up! This is Genetic Primordial's turf; the reinforcements from the Truth Society can't possibly arrive in time."

Julia looked unimpressed. "You should be more concerned about your own safety. Number Nine just dropped an Inductive Bait. Even if you run to deal with it now, it's too late."

"What?"

This piece of news shocked Yago, who had been somewhat at ease.

"Everyone here, oh, and that one hiding over there— they all know."

Exposed?

When Yago and Xia Shi were caught, Bai Fu felt that she might have been exposed as well.

She stepped out, not bothering to hide any longer.

"It's Fufu!"

An observant player immediately noticed her.

But most of the players were controlled, not rushing over right away; after all, a "cutscene" was playing out. Normally, they wouldn't bother watching such a thing and would have gotten straight to the action, but as they were outmatched, they had no choice but to watch and see what this BOSS was all about.
