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

"Secret Tower will bless us!"

After some discussion, the remote meeting concluded, and Stone Crystal Security Company got to work. They dispatched multiple teams to various star ports in the Sea Lion Star System to tail and attempt to bribe the transit security personnel of the Star Network Community to provide them with intelligence.

Ten days of downtime for the update quickly passed, and the moment the servers came back online, players from Ancestral Origin Star swarmed into the game, eager for the new version.

As usual, the players logged in and flipped through the Camp interface, and upon seeing two new challenge instances and several new Prayer Cards in the store at the station, they exclaimed in approval.

[It has to be Fufu, always coming up with new stuff to keep us from getting bored.]

Silent Court players busily explored the differences between versions 1.3 and 1.2, and soon they made new discoveries.

[Legendary bonus, Inspiration Attribute +2%, damn, there's even such a thing?]

[Look how far Fu has come!]

[Climb, guys, isn't Fufu the Ghost Night Dominator? Is this bonus really that surprising?]

Silent Court players bantered boisterously, stirring lively scenes, but their excitement about the new version didn't last long. The next day after the servers came back online, seeing the constant traffic in and out of Bai Fu Town and the sudden appearance of other Camp's NPCs in Bai Fu Town, they vaguely sensed that something big was about to happen, just like what Stars Cluster Girl and Chibi Fufu had said in the version update announcement—once the path to the Star Sea appeared, Fufu, coming from the Star Sea, was probably about to return to the Star Sea.

Yes, this was her final farewell.

Recently, Bai Fu had revealed her intentions to leave, and in the last few days, numerous NPCs had come to bid her farewell, which she graciously welcomed, and assured them cheerfully during the farewells that she would return.

This also served to deter those with ulterior motives; don't think you can mess around just because Bai Fu is not here. First, consider whether you can defeat Old Nison, Xia Shi, or the players who are protected by numerous Prayer Cards, and then think about whether you can withstand my retaliation upon my return.

Overall, Bai Fu's meetings with these individuals were quite pleasant.

If it hadn't been for Gao Yuan insisting she see the statue erected, she would have left on the day the players logged back in.

Four days later, in the evening.

Bai Fu invited familiar faces like Su Li, Old Nison, Sean, Gao Yuan, the father and daughter Xia Shi, Julia, and An Ya for a meal.

This was her last dinner on Ancestral Origin Star. She rarely drank alcohol but didn't get drunk. After dinner, standing on the rooftop, she reminisced about the years from acquaintance to familiarity on Ancestral Origin Star with Xia Shi and Julia.

By the time evening arrived, Bai Fu found the players, who were still engaged in PK, and officially announced her plans to head to the Star Sea.

"Apart from me, Black Fu, An Ya, and Julia, the spaceship can accommodate another 96 people. Would you be willing to follow me to the Star Sea? The Star Sea is full of dangers, but it is also full of opportunities."

Despite the prior speculations, upon hearing this news, the players and the Community erupted into intense discussions.

Go, of course, they wanted to go. Why wouldn't they?

"Me, me, me..."

A group of players stepped forward to sign up.

Bai Fu first selected Digging Girl and Dragon of Catastrophe, the popular promotional duo, followed by Patrick, Ghost Night Afu, and others who had followed her from Abandoned Cooling Factory. Master Tai'er, a notoriously high-profile figure among the player community, was also included. As for the remaining spots, she allotted some to Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi and Hei Si—carrying such influential guild players would indeed enhance combat capabilities. For the last few spots, she selected based on the offline PK organized by the players themselves.

The next morning at dawn, Gao Yuan had people erect a statue early in the square of Bai Fu Town.

As the sun shone its golden light, rising completely from below the horizon, the thirty-meter-tall statue of Bai Fu was finally erected.

The statue's design was quite unique: stone-carved Bai Fu wore a small crown and held a scepter aloft with her right hand, standing on a pedestal etched with countless players' names. Her eyes were fixed on the deep starry sky.

Looking in the direction of Bai Fu's statue's gaze, the people on the ground saw a windstorm suddenly whipping up over the sandy lands outside Bai Fu Town, and then a spaceship broke through the sand-formed dust, illuminated by the golden light, and soared into the endless blue sky, vanishing completely from sight.

"The new journey has begun."

Bai Fu stood by the porthole of the cargo ship's cockpit, overlooking the increasingly smaller Bai Fu Town, her heart surging with unbounded anticipation.

...

"Wow, that woman finally left!"

On the ground, some people saw the spaceship disappear and took a deep breath.

Bai Fu's presence had been suffocating them, and ever since they learned she planned to leave Ancestral Origin Star, they had been looking forward to this day; now they felt completely relieved, as comfortable as drinking a bottle of ice water on a hot day.

But comfortable as they were, they didn't dare actually retaliate against Silent Court—it was too big a gamble.

In the crowd, Igor pulled out his terminal: "Now is the best moment to release the documentary. Get ready."

Releasing the documentary on the day a statue was erected and the spaceship left Ancestral Origin Star was the perfect summary of Bai Fu's experiences on Ancestral Origin Star.

Compared to the NPCs, the players were actually more emotional.

Some envied, some were jealous, and some reluctant.

[Sigh, who knows when Fufu will come back. Before Fufu returns, I definitely need to level up]

[Digging Girl, don't forget to share more photos and videos of Fufu!]

[Time to do the main task, brothers, let's go!]

[Darn, I just joined Silent Court a few days ago]

Several players wailed as they looked up at the sky, and Xia Shi, who had been somewhat sad, suddenly felt cheerful seeing their exaggerated expressions.

A lot of people liked Bai Fu, it seemed. Even though she had left, these Undying People still thought of her.

"This isn't the end, but another beginning. I believe that even in the Star Sea, you can definitely make a place for yourself!"

Xia Shi stared at the sky.

Until Bai Fu returned, she would look up at the sky like this every day.

...

At Lynn Settlement, Prison Number One, right then, the Wildfire Gang Leader, who was working in the prison, suddenly heard noises outside.

"What's happening?"

Curiously, he asked and was shocked by the answer.

"Bai Fu went up to the sky?"

Oh my God!

The Wildfire Gang Leader was astounded, then a surge of grand emotion welled up in him.

"That Bai Fu, I've had an eye on her from the beginning, felt she could take over my role. And guess what? She became a legend of Ancestral Origin Star, an eternal legend, hahaha!"

No one in the prison really believed the Wildfire Gang Leader's words; everyone thought he was boasting.

Nonsense, how could you know Bai Fu?

Facing these doubts, the Wildfire Gang Leader remained unconcerned.

The legend continued, and his eye for talent was no joke!
