When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 64 - 37 Monument Forged for Heroes【To Be Continued】_2
Just as she had expected, the moment she dragged the box back to the empty space filled with construction debris at her doorstep, she received a game prompt.
[You completed the task "Insect Invasion," Contribution 23.6%, rewarded with 40000 Experience Points, 3 attribute points, Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain (4)]
"Hmm?"
Since the "Insect Invasion" task was not a Camp Task, even though Bai Fu's contribution was as high as 23.6%, she didn't receive an additional Title reward like last time when attacking a player stronghold. But just the rewards from the task itself were enough to surprise her.
She had originally thought that earning 10000 Experience after completing the task would have been good enough, but she didn't expect the task to directly give her 40000. Was this the charm of high-difficulty tasks?
With these Experience points, she could level up her Advanced Profession to Lv2 in one go.
There's no need to say how attractive the reward of 3 attribute points was. Bai Fu decisively added all 3 attribute points to her Constitution, raising it to 29 points.
But among these three rewards, the most valuable was actually the [Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain (4)].
The profession system in "Stars Above" was different from ordinary online games; it was more akin to the technology trees in farming games—
To unlock Advanced Professions, one must first learn the prerequisite knowledge!
Players only needed the corresponding Profession Knowledge Book and Experience to learn Basic Level Professions and Advanced Professions, but to upgrade from an Advanced Profession to a High Level one, having just Profession Knowledge and Experience was not enough; one must first master at least 5 Knowledge Chains.
Knowledge is power, as the saying goes!
Of course, these Knowledge Chains were not learned for nothing. Each additional Knowledge Chain mastered would bring corresponding bonuses.
Bai Fu tapped on the newly acquired [Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain (4)], and the beneficial effects immediately popped up.
[All Spiritual Ability active skill effects +20%, Spiritual Ability Resistance +20%]
[Note: Unlocking a new Knowledge Chain, all Spiritual Ability active skill effects +20%, Spiritual Ability Resistance +20%, Spiritual Ability Recovery Speed +2/minute]
Adding the Basic Level Spiritual Ability Mastery's 10% bonus, from now on, the effectiveness of Bai Fu's skills would increase by 30%, putting her far ahead of an Ordinary Spiritual Ability Apprentice.
"Finally, I've got a bit of an Elite Monster's presence."
Bai Fu excitedly stared at the Enhancement Potion in her pocket. If she could successfully assimilate the potion and get dropped into a Newbie Village, her oppressive presence might be even greater than Julia's Fake Body.
But how could she assimilate the Enhancement Potion?

Looking at the potion's description and the phrase "10% chance of causing the target to mutate," Bai Fu felt a headache coming on.
Wait a bit longer, she dared not gamble just yet.
"An Ya."
Bai Fu called An Ya, who had been hiding in the basement.
Having been in the basement for nearly half a day, An Ya was already extremely anxious and sweating profusely. Seeing Bai Fu return safe and sound, she immediately threw herself at her.
"Boss, I was just about to come out and look for you."
Bai Fu smiled, pulling her over to the big box: "Open it and have a look."
With a puzzled face, An Ya opened the box. She had a feeling that there might be something good inside, but seeing the pile of Credit Coins that was even taller than her, she was shocked into silence.
"Boss, this..."
An Ya looked left and right, completely at a loss.
Bai Fu said, "It's real money. Now, move it all to the basement."
An Ya hurriedly complied, giggling as she carried the money. Now everything was okay; no more going hungry!
Bai Fu watched An Ya's joyful departure, chuckling to herself.
After being so busy for so long, she had finally overcome the embarrassing situation she faced upon her original arrival. She was still far from safe, having just provoked the Truth Society. But times had changed; now she had a certain ability to defend herself, and the territory she was in belonged to the Genetic Primordial; even the powerful Truth Society would not dare to wreak havoc so blatantly.
After moving the other items from the box into the basement, Bai Fu guzzled two large glasses of cold water and then started browsing the Community for no particular reason.
She just wanted to see the reactions of the Players, but as soon as she opened the Community, the first thing she saw was an official notice pinned at the top.
["Stars Above" Update Notice]
[Dear Interstellar Adventurers:
"Stars Above" has been well-received by a wide range of players since the official open beta test. To ensure the stable operation of the server and the quality of service, the game will perform maintenance and stop service an hour from now, which is expected to last for 4 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to you adventurers.
[Update Notice]
1. Server expansion to allow more players to join the adventure
2. Opening the [Guild] function, inviting all adventurers to create their own guilds
3. ...
...
After the maintenance, "Stars Above" will bring you a brand new trailer. Please look forward to it.]
The notice listed many items, most of which were unrelated to the game content and mainly focused on experience upgrades to the game's peripherals.
Bai Fu was only interested in the fact that the game would be under maintenance itself.
The game would be down for maintenance for 4 hours, but considering the different time flow rates inside and outside the game, the actual time the players would be offline would be much longer than 4 hours. As for exactly how long it would be, that would depend on the official's arrangements.
"If the players wouldn't log back in for a couple of days, how would I perform the drama of 'Return of the Dead' in front of them, igniting the emotions that have been suppressed to the breaking point!"
