When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

From Digging Girl's live broadcast, players learned that she and her team received a new task from Bai Fu, and now, seated in the car, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Their concern was no longer just about whether they could receive tasks from Bai Fu.

After Digging Girl's analysis and the instigations from players of guilds competing with the Iron Rain Guild, a strong sense of urgency started building up in their hearts.

According to the available intelligence, there was a more than 90% chance that Bai Fu was not a main storyline NPC of the Ancestral Origin Star, but a vital hidden NPC involved in a much larger story. Once she achieved her purpose on the Ancestral Origin Star, she would definitely leave.

If these players didn't hurry to make contact with Bai Fu, they might permanently miss the chance to trigger that grand hidden task.

Oh, no, maybe not permanently.

[When the nostalgia server launches, I can reunite with Bai Fu!]

[Are you kidding me? It's been just over a month since the beta launch, and you're already thinking about the nostalgia server?]

[I'm waiting for a big shot to host a private server so we can jack up Fufu's affinity to 100.]

[Young man, don't be too naive. With the game's performance, who can run a normal private server?]

Players who couldn't buy tickets from the Abandoned Cooling Factory to Lynn resorted to shady tactics, like finding cheats to instantly teleport to Lynn. They ended up being scammed out of 5000 and were showcased by the officials as a warning in the community.

[Ancestral Origin Star's top solo player was scammed out of 5000 yuan by someone promising a teleport cheat to Lynn. Please stay cautious!]

With that post out, no player dared to pull any stunts anymore.

Public execution—who could withstand that!

They could only rant in the community and complain to the officials.

"Not bad, not bad."

Bai Fu, who'd been lurking in the community, nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this scene.

Thanks to Digging Girl, who posted an analysis every two or three days, nearly all players who knew her now agreed she was a mysterious alien from the cosmos.

At this stage, her identity was sufficiently established. Going any deeper could easily clash with subsequent revelations in the game's storyline.

Her next plan was to make good use of the newly added "injury" setting, making players think she had certain abilities when unhurt, thereby pushing the planners to grant her corresponding abilities in the next enhancement.

Bai Fu had an initial plan.

Her major weakness now was that she couldn't engage in pursuit battles and lacked group attack methods. Therefore, she decided to create some stories in this area.

It was simple; just have An Ya casually mention "how the boss used to be" in front of the players.

This way, players would enjoy extracting information from An Ya, the "Big Strainer," she would successfully portray a superior image in front of the players, and An Ya would also earn wasteland cola and dessert rewards from her—triple win!

Thinking this, Bai Fu looked at An Ya with a satisfied expression.

An Ya's appearance was truly perfect—a loli, a weak, pitiful, and helpless-looking loli, who could easily gain the players' trust. Sending her to deceive the players was killing two birds with one stone.

"Prepare to leave."

Just then, Xia Shi, dragging a weapon case, walked out of the room.

It was nearly noon, and the operation was about to start.

Bai Fu nodded, followed closely by An Ya behind Xia Shi as they descended the stairs. Their first stop was Foursights.

Since the action was taking place outside the Lynn Settlement, it would take about a day to travel there and back, and players were also going along, so Bai Fu needed to send An Ya to a safe place first.

Without a doubt, the safest place in Lynn right now was Foursights' underground air-raid bunker.

"Boss, you must come back alive. If you die, I'll die too!" An Ya clung tightly to Bai Fu's clothes.

Bai Fu smiled and gave An Ya a punch, "Scram. You only know how to speak ill-fated words. Your boss here is tough as nails."

Let alone a mere spy from the Truth Society;if she mistakenly wandered into Mihua City and got targeted by Death's elementary school students, she'd still put up a fight!

After settling An Ya, Bai Fu and the people at Foursights had a brief meeting. The action team leader reintroduced the operation's target at the meeting.

"The Honey Badger Wanderer Camp, a group of wanderers who survive by robbing, with a population of thirty to forty and armed with two heavy machine guns. They moved near Lynn about a month ago, and just recently, they attacked a trade convoy belonging to Lynn, causing seven casualties. Our mission is to completely eradicate them. No survivors are necessary."

The action team leader's words were filled with cold murderous intent.

Wanderer camps typically consisted of groups who refused to abide by the laws of major powers and were mostly composed of thugs that even the notorious outlaw Zhang San would be ashamed of.

The Genetic Primordial Intelligence Bureau's main job, aside from gathering intelligence on other factions, was to regularly clear these roaming wanderer camps.

Bai Fu didn't pay much attention to what the action team leader said, taking the opportunity to cast a Spiritual Vision Skill towards Li Cheng, who was sitting next to Lu Yuelin.
