When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 79 - 43 Shocking! The True Identity of Bai Fu [Read Both Parts Together]_2

This statement once again rendered Bai Fu silent for a long while. It seemed as if she was struggling, but in reality, she was sneakily watching players in the live stream conspiring loudly.

["Digging for treasure? Don't waste your energy going too deep, Fufu would obviously never confess."]

["Indeed, nobody would spill all the beans right at the start. Usually, it takes completing a series of tasks, then after several major updates to learn the truth."]

["That's for other games, 'Stars Above' is different."]

["What's different?"]

["Fufu won't spill, but An Ya, on the other hand, isn't tight-lipped. We can build a good relationship with her first, then pry the information out of her."]

["Hiss, seems like there's a real chance of success?"]

A group of players got excited.

Bai Fu got excited as well.

Good, it looked like these players were completely hooked!

With this, An Ya's status in the players' eyes also increased dramatically. Even if she wasn't there, An Ya would still be able to command these players.

The words Bai Fu spoke today were carefully designed. She had deliberately used An Ya's voice to say she had been injured all along, all to set a big trap.

As the players accepted this setting, they wouldn't find her power boosting like a rocket ride strange, and in the future, when the plans for strengthening her were implemented, they could play into this area as well.

The words An Ya said afterwards were deliberately meant to lead the players to wild guesses.

She wasn't afraid of players coming up with an identity that was too over-the-top in their brainstorming. She was more worried they wouldn't have enough imagination.

Even if in the end the players discovered she wasn't a "Cosmic People," Bai Fu wasn't worried.

After all, An Ya hadn't told the whole story, there were many ways to explain it.

This star could be expanded to mean "this star will also explode", or it could be expanded to mean "even the top powerhouses on this star have to die." As for the actual explanation, it depended on her future development and the direction the planners gave her for her enhancements.

"There are some things I don't want to tell you, it's that I can't tell you," Bai Fu said, "Just knowing those names would bring you endless nightmares. With your current strength, if you really want to help me, if you really want to become Savior Heroes, the most important thing you should do is to improve yourselves through trials."

So they didn't get a straightforward answer from Fufu after all?

Just when Digging Girl felt a bit disappointed, a surprise bubbled up the next moment.

"Boss, actually, they can still help us a little bit, at least here. As long as they get a bit stronger, they can help us find that thing," An Ya peeked out.

Well done, An Ya!

With excitement, Digging Girl echoed, "Yes, yes, that's right."

Bai Fu stared at Digging Girl for a good while before saying, "Here's the deal, let's talk again when your power increases a bit more, reaching Advanced Profession standards. Otherwise, even if you're an Undying, it would still be too dangerous."

She slyly made a gesture to signal An Ya to continue speaking.

"That's right, reaching the Advanced Profession standard should suffice."

As An Ya, the Quartermaster of the Camp, finished speaking, Digging Girl discovered she had triggered a Task:

[Improve Power]

The reward for this Task was quite ordinary, with only 1000 Experience Value points and 5 Camp Reputation points, but Digging Girl still leaped up excitedly. This was the stepping stone to making real contact with Fu, after all. What did a small reward matter? She would rush in even with no reward!

"Haha, I've triggered a tas..."

Halfway through her jump, she sat back down in embarrassment.

Stay calm, Fufu is still sitting right there.

[Damn, I'm so jealous, Digging Girl is really ahead of everyone now.]

[Don't rush. I'll be in Lynn the day after tomorrow. Who unlocks an Advanced Profession first is still up for grabs.]

The players in the live stream all lit up with motivation.

Just like the player from before said, who would claim the victory was still undetermined. Digging Girl indeed was the first to arrive at Lynn and the first to receive a task from Bai Fu; however, she was only Level 7 and also struggled with action games, so it was uncertain if she would unlock an Advanced Profession before the other players who arrived later.

Almost all the players at the Abandoned Cooling Factory were eager to try their luck, including the Iron Rain Guild, who were preparing to join the Truth Society.

The thoughts of Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi were clear; they wanted to join the Truth Society, but they had to make contact with the Society's people first. Before that, their plan was to, like other players, orbit around Bai Fu.

But he wasn't interested in improving Bai Fu's Affinity; his main goal was to gather more of Bai Fu's information and use it as his Proof of Identity when joining the Truth Society.

[Charge, charge, charge!]

[I'll climb step by step, surpass Digging Girl, and become the player closest to Fu!]

[Not going to sleep tonight, I'm going to grind!]

Seeing the players' enthusiasm stirred up, Bai Fu could finally relax.

Now, she was bound together with these players. The faster these players leveled up, the quicker her own Level would rise with their help.

The Truth Society wants to assassinate me, huh?

By that time, I'll bring tens of thousands of players who have advanced to higher professions, and let you know what real terror is in this world!

"Time is getting late; you should rest well. I'm heading back now."

Bai Fu stood up.

Digging Girl still wanted to keep her there, suggesting Bai Fu might as well sleep over at her place, but Bai Fu tactfully declined.

A pity, but that's normal.

As they were parting, An Ya sneakily glanced at Digging Girl and noticed she was still giggling foolishly.

Poor Digging Girl thinks she's gotten quite the deal, not realizing she's merely being toyed with by the boss.

I, An Ya, am the true treasure in the boss's heart!

An Ya stood tall and proud, following behind Bai Fu.

After leaving the inn, Bai Fu couldn't wait to open the Community.

Sure enough, there were already players analyzing her identity, among which the most conspicuous post was—

"I suspect Bai Fu might actually be the final BOSS above the Stars!"

"???"

A lot of question marks floated above Bai Fu's head.

I've been so busy, finally managed to sever all ties to the Wildfire Gang, making sure I wouldn't be targeted by players as a villain, and here you are, sticking the label of final BOSS on me, huh?

She clicked in to see what insights this player might have.

In fact, there was no analysis content in this post because this player was making comparisons with another game during the entire discussion.

[I was playing another game, which had a very special NPC in the Newbie Village. She was as beautiful as Fufu, cared for the players just like Fufu, and had a mysterious identity similar to Fufu's. In the end, after a series of tasks, players discovered she was the legendary Angel Envoy, and even the final BOSS of the game! So, I boldly surmise...]

[I refute your hypothesis with a hammer]

The post was predictably criticized, but it also unsurprisingly became popular.

Even though the player who posted was just babbling nonsense and not analyzing through dialogue, settings like Digging Girl did, the conjecture that Bai Fu could be the final BOSS still hit many players' XP.

Boss Bai Fu? I'm thrilled!

[If Fufu really is the final BOSS, I'll be the first to join her side]

[You trying to be the first? I am the first]

The corners of Bai Fu's mouth twitched.

She didn't want to be any BOSS, unless it was the kind that didn't need to show a blood bar.

Wait and see, if the players could come up with some really useful settings, she would simply borrow them.

No, how could it be called borrowing in a game, this is about meeting player expectations!

Bai Fu and An Ya soon returned to Xia Shi's residence, but just as they reached the stairs, she stopped.

No lights on in the house—was Xia Shi not there?

She glanced at the shadows; the Special Agents that Lu Yuelin sent to protect her were also missing.

This was definitely problematic.

Bai Fu always assumed the worst in every unusual situation she encountered.

Seconds later, she heard footsteps in the corridor, along with the static of a walkie-talkie.

"I haven't found anything here; hurry up on your side."

Then, an armed man emerged from the side.

"Hm, Bai Fu?"

The man clearly didn't expect to run into Bai Fu here. He hesitated, but soon a smile appeared on his face.

"What a pleasant surprise. You had the gall to offend the Truth Society; you deserve to die here tonight."

It was indeed an assassin from the Truth Society.

Bai Fu was a bit worried about Xia Shi's safety but now wasn't the time to focus on that. She placed her hand on her thigh, where a gun was holstered.

"An Ya, move behind me."

Now, it was the perfect time to test how much her power had increased after unlocking an advanced profession!
