When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 71 - 39 Popularity exploded, I’m done for, I’m surrounded by Bai Fu! [Two-in-one request for follow-up reading]_3

Under the influence of this wave of popularity, Star Travel Society briefly became Baiyou Society.

Some players were shocked to discover that they were not playing "Above the Stars," but "Damn! I'm Surrounded by Bai Fu."

The biggest impact of this wave was that the player count on Ancestral Origin Star hit the limit; many players wanted to reincarnate there only to receive a notice that the population was full, barring them from reincarnating.

Seeing this situation, Bai Fu, who had been watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.

If there were no limit, what would become of this?

Imagine, if you will, a small Abandoned Cooling Factory suddenly crammed with tens of thousands of players; the gaming experience would be so poor. Just solving the issue of eating alone would be enough to deter many players.

"You know how to hype things up."

Bai Fu looked approvingly at Digging Girl, who was still active in the live broadcast room.

Once Digging Girl found Lynn, Bai Fu planned to set her up as a benchmark, first giving her an Advanced Knowledge Book, absorbing her into the Silent Court, and then divulging a bit of newly crafted backstory.

Do you all see this? Hang out with the crows, starve for nine out of three days; hang out with Bai Fu and it's different, meat for every meal. With such good treatment, why aren't you rushing over here?

Different from before, Bai Fu's gaze was now more farsighted.

The enhancement she gained yesterday made her realize that in order to continue to gain strength, it was not enough to just improve her popularity among the Players; she also had to actively participate in various plotlines, giving the game sufficient "reason" to enhance her.

Considering that game plotlines come with various risks, in order to reduce these risks, she really needed the help of players.

Even if not for that, just to simply defend against the Truth Society's assassinations, she would need players.

Just now, she received a message from Xia Shi, sitting next to her, that the Truth Society had issued assassination bounties against the three of them. Although the level of the bounty wasn't high, this was still a bounty issued by one of the Ancestral Origin Star's top five forces, the Truth Society. She had to be cautious.

Speaking of Xia Shi, Bai Fu recalled an interesting fact.

Xia Shi had a very special Talent, Strong Luck; to date, she had only seen this Talent on Xia Shi.

At first, Bai Fu didn't take it to heart, simply complaining internally that Xia Shi was a damn lucker, but after she herself acquired a [Luck] Talent, she began to suspect that there might be more to it than she had thought.

What Strong Luck, no Strong Luck, could this be a Main Character's Halo?

She seriously suspected that Xia Shi was the main character of the main questline of the Newbie Village, the Abandoned Cooling Factory. In a normal storyline, players would likely have to interact with Xia Shi and gradually uncover the secrets hidden by the Wildfire Gang, ultimately helping Xia Shi take them down. But due to her involvement, Xia Shi had become a peripheral character in the story.

Of course, all of this was just Bai Fu's speculation. She needed further confirmation.

But what she could be certain of was that Talents like [Luck], [Strong Luck] had great potential.

Don't underestimate that 10% boost. As the Level increases, the elements players come in contact with increasingly rely on probability determinations.

Reading Knowledge Books required a probability determination, deciphering blueprints required a probability determination, crafting tools required a probability determination, even lotteries required a probability determination... a 10% straight bonus brought in very considerable benefits. Right now, it merely ensured she steadily got the Evolution Blood Template; in the future, it might even let her obtain a Divine Skill.

Bai Fu felt a bit envious of Xia Shi; her Luck bonus was at 10%, so Strong Luck's bonus was probably over 20%.

"We're here."

As Bai Fu was deep in thought, Xia Shi's voice rang in her ear. She looked up and saw the car had come to a stop.

On the way here, reinforcements from the Genetic Primordial had already swept the Amoeba from both sides of the road, so the return trip to the Lynn Settlement had taken nearly half the time it did to come.

"An Ya."

Bai Fu called out softly, then jumped down from the car, carrying a huge suitcase.

Different from the Abandoned Cooling Factory, which looked like ruins, the Lynn Settlement was a real city, with a central area filled with high-rise buildings and a Radio Tower towering nearly a hundred meters tall.

"Lynn, I have arrived!"

A pleased smile appeared on Bai Fu's face.

At the same time, another dozen Players spawned in the Abandoned Cooling Factory.

These players were different from others; their names each had an Iron Rain prefix, and they were members of the renowned Iron Rain Guild.

"Chairman, should we level up in the Abandoned Cooling Factory first or head straight to Lynn?"

Iron Rain Guild Chairman, Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi, said, "Go to Lynn, but this time we won't be looking for Bai Fu."

"What?"

"Too many people want to find Bai Fu. If we go now, we can hardly gain much before raising her Affinity. Instead of wasting time there, I think we should join another Camp."

"Should we join the Genetic Primordial?"

"No, we'll join the Truth Society. Right now, no one wants to join the Truth Society. If we go in, we'll be the first batch and can monopolize all the tasks from the Truth Society. Besides..."

Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi let out a hearty laugh.

"Bai Fu is an important character in the main storyline; if we help the Truth Society against her, we're sure to get a lot of Camp contribution points. With Digging Girl and others live streaming every day, we won't have trouble getting information about Bai Fu."
