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

"Really?"

Xia Shi was skeptical, but her mood was still pretty good, as it was rare for someone to say such things to her.

Unfortunately, she thought she could have become friends with Bai Fu, but the military suddenly went mad and messed everything up.

"Reply to her for me, I'm fine, she should take care of herself first and not get killed under the bounty of an assassination."

After sending Patrick away, Xia Shi returned to the car, and it wasn't long before she heard shouting from outside.

"Trouble, the Songshan Settlement has been attacked by the Truth Society, and the losses are severe!"

The entire Bagalos Sanctuary instantly turned into a chaotic mess.

…

Even before Bagalos Sanctuary became a mess, the headquarters of the Truth Society had already turned into chaos.

Julia brought shocking news, Bagaros Base was breached, Carlos, Deputy Officer Qian, Guido, and Julia's fake body were all dead.

"Are you sure you're not telling me a science fiction story?"

The chairman of the Truth Society's eyes were bloodshot, as if dripping with blood.

He immediately sent people to investigate, and the reality was exactly as Julia had described, even more alarming because all these people had died at the hands of Bai Fu.

"You wanted to kill me?"

"Not only did I eliminate the assassins you sent, but I also directly destroyed one of your bases. How frustrated are you?"

Frustrated!

The chairman was so angry he practically morphed into Tom, turning furious as he would watching Jerry's antics.

"Useless, a bunch of useless people!"

He immediately ordered the Combat Department Director, Bernardo, to increase Bai Fu's bounty; the previous amount was too low, this time he wanted to raise it to three million, a number sufficient to drive most assassins mad.

Bernardo hurried to do so, but upon accessing the Dark Web, he suddenly realized an issue.

"Chairman, the Genetic Primordial has also issued a bounty on Bai Fu with an amount of one million."

"What?" The chairman's face gradually returned to normal, "What's going on?"

Bernardo's expression was serious: "I tried to consult the Makarov Family that operates the Dark Web, but they don't have concrete information at the moment, only that Bai Fu has indeed fallen out with the Genetic Primordial and reportedly killed many of their people."

"Interesting."

The chairman paced back and forth in the laboratory.

"Keep Bai Fu's original bounty amount as is, don't raise it. Send people to investigate the reasons behind Bai Fu's fallout with the Genetic Primordial, and pass the word that our own people don't need to act hastily if they encounter Bai Fu; if she's willing to join us, I can forgive her previous disrespect."

Bernardo nodded, "Yes, chairman, there's also news from Songshan, our raid was successful, and the data you wanted has been successfully obtained."

Hearing this, a cloud lifted from the chairman's heart, and he burst into laughter.

"Very good, very good, even though the Bagaros Base is gone, as long as we could successfully retrieve that data, it's all worth it!"

Confined within a round machine, Julia listened silently to the chairman and Bernardo's conversation.

She wasn't really interested in these matters; right now, she just wanted to know if Bai Fu would keep her promise and head to the Goli Desert.

Time was running out for her, and if she missed this chance, she didn't know if she could ever escape from this place.

…

The next day.

Bai Fu, carrying Digging Girl and An Ya, hit the road again.

She drove intermittently, trying to collect more gasoline, food, water, and materials needed to make Prayer Cards at settlements and camps along the way.

During her free time, she browsed the Community to check on the players and the Genetic Primordial situation.

Yesterday during that operation, quite a few players had died twice; initially, they were worried they couldn't recover the lost Experience, but after the Task settled, they were ecstatic to discover that the Task rewards not only compensated for their deficit but also enabled them to Level up again.

[Fight! Awesome! Next time I want to kick ass again with Fufu!]

[Wake up, Bai Fu has run off, you can't have fun anymore]

[Don't worry, wherever Fufu goes, I'll follow; I've figured it out, Fufu is a human cheat device given to us by the officials. If it weren't for following Fufu all the time, my Level would never have increased this fast.]

[Freaking envious! Those who died twice got so many rewards, doesn't that mean Patrick and his crew could directly ascend two Levels?]

[By the way, what about those guys from the Iron Rain Guild, wasn't Bagaros Base discovered by them, how much reward did they scoop up?]

This topic attracted a lot of attention, and many Guild Chairmen whose faces were shown-off by Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi rushed over, such as Hei Si from Loyalty Hall. They tagged Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi, urging him to show off again.

Watching the notifications pop up incessantly, Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi now just wanted to escape Earth.

Rewards?

What a joke!

Since he had been tied to a lab bed all along, during the Task settlement, he only received the minimal rewards; one could say of the hundred players who took part in the operation, those few from his Iron Rain Guild were the most miserable.

What a disaster.

He was displeased with Bai Fu's popularity, so he was limited in Task rewards around Bai Fu and had thought of defecting to the Truth Society; little did he expect the Truth Society would make him lose so thoroughly.

Damn it!

Now he couldn't dare show his face. Those Guild Chairmen who had been shown off by him would laugh their heads off if they knew how badly he was suffering.

How could Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi endure such an insult?

Luckily, he had hidden his personal information as soon as he entered the game; otherwise, he would have been exposed by now. But he could hide for a while, not forever. When the leaderboard opened in the next version and saw he wasn't on it, Hei Si and the others would immediately know he had failed miserably.

Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi clenched his teeth.

It's all the Truth Society's fault, damn it!

If they won't let me join, then I'll do everything I can to prevent other players from joining. Without players' help, we'll see how you compete with other forces!

Furious, Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi refused to accept his fate.

My fate is in my hands, he thought he still had a way out.

He had just received news that Bai Fu had left Lynn, which meant there would be fewer players around Bai Fu for a while—if he could seize this chance to take on more Tasks from her, he might be able to turn things around before the new version arrived.

"Fuck, isn't it just about who can lick Bai Fu's boots the best?"

Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi hurriedly contacted Digging Girl again; now, only Digging Girl who was taken away by Bai Fu knew where she was.

...

"Fufu, Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi just contacted me—he said he wanted to know where you are, hoping to continue following you."

In the car, Digging Girl turned and spoke.

Bai Fu gripped the steering wheel with both hands, staring straight ahead, "It's too dangerous now, let's settle down in Goli Desert before we tell them."

It wasn't the time to expose their whereabouts; she didn't want anyone disturbing her deal with Julia.

With her saying that, Digging Girl couldn't have any objections.

In fact, Digging Girl wished that all other players would stay away from Bai Fu, so she could monopolize the exclusive coverage on Bai Fu.

After racing through the infection zone all day and fighting with mutant creatures twice, Bai Fu finally learned the offensive Skill she wanted in a large Settlement.

[Spiritual Energy Attachment Lv1]: Consumes 5 points of Spiritual Energy, making the next attack cause (100%*base damage +5) of Spiritual Energy damage.

It was time to try out the real value of this White Reaper!
