Chapter 490: 176 The pure white hero Bai Fu, the chance to become the poster girl【5.8k】_3
Catastrophe Level!
This was the first Catastrophe-level superpower user she had encountered!
Fortunately, Le Mans was an ally, not an adversary; otherwise, Bai Fu really couldn't think of a way to defeat such a monster.
After the two parties met, Le Mans didn't say much, simply offering a few words of comfort before stating he needed to check Fei Ye's level of Voidification.
While speaking, he took out a fist-sized device, adjusted the equipment, and then began the examination on Fei Ye.
"About 52%, this value is a bit dangerous, hmm, wait, why is there another set of data, 6%?"
Le Mans's eyes widened in astonishment; finally, his gaze fell on Bai Fu.
"You've also been infected with Void Blood?"
Fei Ye stepped forward and recounted what had just happened.
Le Mans couldn't help but wonder if he had misunderstood something. To prevent Fei Ye from feeling lonely, had she actually chosen to voluntarily infect herself with Void Blood?
He recalled the news he had seen on his way here.
"Is this what they call a pure hero?"
So damn pure!
Le Mans felt he was about to be blinded by the Holy Light emanating from Bai Fu.
He thought that if he were the Controller of the Star Contract, he would definitely take this deed and tout it across the major news outlets.
The promotional effect would be unbeatably good; surely, it would attract a large group of superpower users who valued loyalty and heroism.
Unfortunately, the Oath Lord paid no attention to such matters and had specifically asked him not to disclose Fei Ye's condition to others when instructing him to check on her.
However, given the current circumstances, 'others' certainly didn't include Bai Fu.
"There's something I need to explain to you in private," Le Mans called out to Bai Fu.
Bai Fu paused but wasn't too anxious; the game notification had just informed her that Le Mans's Affinity towards her had increased to 30, meaning that it was highly unlikely he was looking to cause her trouble.
Indeed, after they stepped away from Fei Ye, Le Mans began to discuss Fei Ye's situation with her.
Fei Ye had only recently shared this story with her, but Le Mans also mentioned some details that even Fei Ye herself was unaware of.
"Fei Ye's sister isn't completely dead. Because of their Race and Talent, part of her consciousness remained in Fei Ye, her twin sister, and influences Fei Ye every time she uses her Void Power, often unconsciously."
Bai Fu suddenly understood.
No wonder she thought that Fei Ye, after using Void Power, seemed different and much more irritable.
"When we first brought Fei Ye back to the Star Contract, the Oath Lord said that Fei Ye's potential reached Dominator Level. The reason she hasn't been able to advance to Catastrophe all these years is due to her constant rejection of her own power, but after you absorbed her blood and became a Void Infected together, her mentality may undergo a significant change. If she can fully accept her power, she'll break through the barrier and become a true Catastrophe. Here, you may need to give her some extra help, and the Oath Lord will remember your contribution."
The moment Le Mans finished speaking, Bai Fu received a Task notification.
[You have triggered the Hidden Task [Scarlet Dream]]
[Task Introduction:...]
[Task Objective: Help Fei Ye advance to become a Catastrophe-level superpower user]
[Reward: 20 million Experience Points, Scarlet Blessing]
[Note: There is a high chance of triggering follow-up Tasks after completion]
Bai Fu tapped on the [Scarlet Blessing] description, finding out that, as the name suggested, it was a blessing buff from "Scarlet" that could enhance attributes, Resistance, and Recovery Ability, "Scarlet" being the name of Fei Ye's sister.
"Helping the sister and then receiving rewards from her? That makes sense."
But more than the reward for the Task itself, Bai Fu was concerned about the content of the note.
Whenever this sentence appeared, it meant that hidden behind it was either a main storyline or a long side story that greatly affected the main plot!
Damn, was this Fei Ye?
So unfathomable and full of treasures – the more she dug, the more she found!
Bai Fu quickly assured, "I don't care about any rewards. When I decided to become a Void Infected with Fei Ye, I didn't consider these things, and I certainly won't now. I will help Fei Ye, simply because Fei Ye is Fei Ye!"
Le Mans gazed bewilderingly at the righteousness emanating from Bai Fu.
What kind of spirit is this?
This is the Bai Fu spirit!
If it weren't for Bai Fu's lack of experience and weaker power, he would have recommended Bai Fu to the Oath Lord, allowing her to take over his ministerial position.
With such a pure, just person as the head of a department, why worry about the absence of honesty, kindness, and compassion everywhere in the department?
Le Mans didn't stay with the Heavenly Lake Star Fleet for too long. After confirming that Fei Ye wouldn't have any major problems, he left.
Over the next two days, Bai Fu would visit Fei Ye whenever she was free to strengthen their relationship.
Accepting her transformation into a Void Infected, Green Mud and the others all showed deep respect. Overnight, Bai Fu became the de facto leader of Fei Ye's team, advancing her original plan by an untold factor.
Half a day later, the Heavenly Lake Star Fleet docked at the Star Network Community's home star, Bikong Star's military port.
As soon as she disembarked the spaceship, Bai Fu saw Digging Girl running towards her in a hurry.
"What's going on?"
Digging Girl, breathless from running, said, "It's like this, Fufu, I have a Spiritual Ability System S-grade Advanced Knowledge here."
She handed over a data storage device.
"Huh?" Bai Fu looked bewildered. "Where did you get this?"
Digging Girl hurriedly explained how she came about the Advanced Knowledge: "After I got it, I wanted to send it to you immediately, Fufu, but someone suddenly attacked me and killed me."
She was speechless, already having died several times before when interviewing other NPCs. This time, after dying from the surprise attack, her resurrection time went up to 6 hours.
These 6 hours of waiting caused her to miss Fufu's iconic moment by a whisker and also the chance to follow the fleet into the Star Sea to launch a counter-attack.
Fortunately, she didn't lose the data storage after she died, or else she would have been furious.
She didn't know which scoundrel had ambushed her, and it really was atrocious!
"So, was this Advanced Knowledge given to me by a hero summoned to Heavenly Lake Star by my call for support?"
Bai Fu was moved.
There were still genuinely kind-hearted people among the Star Sea People!
"Do you have that person's contact information?"
Digging Girl shook her head.
Bai Fu felt a pang of regret.
What a pity.
But this was a reminder that raising her reputation in the Star Sea had way more benefits than on Ancestral Origin Star!
"Promotion is important. I'll have to get the private armed company I've established up and running when I return. It can provide players with something to do and give my reputation another boost."
After giving Digging Girl a task as a reward, Bai Fu immediately began reading the Advanced Knowledge from the data storage.
This was a summoning-class Advanced Knowledge. After mastering this knowledge, she unlocked a new skill [Summoning Priest]. By using the skill, she could summon a special True Spirit that could provide area recovery for her other summoned units.
After reading the skill description, Bai Fu's eyes lit up—this could significantly increase her Summoning Legion's combat power!
"I'm not short on Advanced Knowledge for the time being. What I need now is money and Experience!"
The money part was easy enough; she had already made contact with several companies looking for her endorsement, and she estimated quite a few deals could be made.
But more important to her than collaborating with ordinary companies was the message from the Sea Lion Star System branch of the Pan Universe Delegation Platform.
[Saintess Bai Fu, in light of your recent outstanding performance, we would like to invite you to become the spokeswoman for our branch. If you are interested, please contact us. Rest assured, our compensation is very generous.]
After players enter the Star Sea, getting tasks is inseparable from the Pan Universe Delegation Platform. If she could become the spokeswoman for this platform, it would surely capture the hearts of a host of players.
Of course, she was interested!
Today she could be the spokeswoman for the Pan Universe Delegation Platform, and tomorrow she could become the face of the game 'Stars Above'!
Bai Fu followed Manu out of the military port.
The moment she appeared, the waiting reporters and onlookers let out thunderous cheers.
"Savior Saintess!"
"Pure White Hero!"
