Chapter 491: 177 to save the Ancestral Origin Star, Bai Fu debuted as a signboard girl 【6k】
About twenty minutes before the Heavenly Lake Star Fleet docked at the military port, the Star Network Community, in alliance with the Tidal Civilization, the Heavenly Eye Alliance, and the Caster Civilization, issued a public announcement. The announcement mentioned that immediately upon receiving the message from Heavenly Lake Star, the four civilizations organized a combined fleet to launch a surprise attack on the Secret Tower, successfully thwarting the Secret Tower's plan to disguise an invasion of the Sea Lion Star System with a Flood Disaster.
The spokesperson of the Star Network Community presented the details vividly, along with a vast amount of evidence, so the announcement instantly exploded across the entire network of the Star Network Community.
Although the victories of the united fleet in this war were modest, having only destroyed a little over twenty escort ships from the Secret Tower, on reflection, the Secret Tower, which had been causing trouble everywhere for the past decade or so, seemed to have suffered a setback for the first time, and it was at the hands of the Star Network Community.
Hiss—
Just thinking about it made the people of the Star Network Community feel a deep sense of pride.
"We Star Network People are truly awesome!"
Amid the celebrations, the Heavenly Lake Star Fleet and Bai Fu once again topped the news headlines.
After all, it was the Heavenly Lake Star Fleet that had relayed crucial intelligence, and it was Bai Fu who had lured the people from the Secret Tower into showing themselves, thus exposing their ruse. Had there been any slip, allowing the Secret Tower's plan to succeed, who knows how many would have died from their terrifying attacks.
Truthfully, Bai Fu's contributions in the war of Heavenly Lake Star were not the greatest, not at least comparing to Fei Ye, but compared to Fei Ye, Bai Fu had too many talking points.
Firstly, Fei Ye had been famous in the Sea Lion Star System for a long time, and everyone had already had their fill.
Secondly, not only was Bai Fu a newcomer, but she was also a newcomer from the Dark Domain.
Lastly, Bai Fu was in no way less beautiful than Fei Ye; moreover, she was big, "the mountain peaks as I pride myself," and at a glance, more suited to rally the people's hearts than Fei Ye.
The news media of the Star Network Community knew, when they saw Bai Fu for the first time, that they wouldn't have to worry about a lack of news for a while.
The "queen" of a small civilization from the Dark Domain, who entered the starry sky and in just two and a half months, slapped the notoriously fierce Secret Tower, sparing her name across the Star Sea—this story, if even slightly sensationalized, was bound to spark discussions not less than those of a grade schooler outperforming a host of world masters in a hundred-meter sprint!
Therefore, upon learning that Bai Fu was about to arrive at Bikong Star, a large number of reporters immediately rushed to the military port of Bikong Star.
Traffic, tasty, delightful, more to savor!
They were raring to go, and at the sight of Bai Fu, they surged forward like madmen.
"Ah Ah Ah—"
The deafening cries filled Bai Fu's ears.
...
"I knew it would come to this."
Manu turned his head to look at Bai Fu. As a citizen of the Star Network, how could he not know what these news media were like?
He didn't take Bai Fu down a side path, but rather straight through the main gate. In fact, he considered that Bai Fu wouldn't be able to shake off the reporters anytime soon. Since that was the case, it was better to accept the interview graciously. That way, it would avoid these reporters always trying to pull some tricks. With him at her side, the reporters would somewhat restrain themselves and not ask some overly strange questions.
For example—
"Saintess, Saintess, do you have a partner yet?"
"Saintess, Saintess, how many Void Battle Maidens can you eat in one meal?"
When it came to writing gossip news, the reporters of the Star Network were at the forefront of the Initial Gate Star System Group industry.
Manu did not want Bai Fu, a pure girl from the Dark Domain, to be corrupted by these reporters, losing the face of the Star Network in the process.
After exchanging a few words with Manu and getting a grasp of the Star Network reporters' reputation, Bai Fu walked to the front of the crowd.
Her favorite part about gaining reputation was coming!
As she pressed forward, the reporters at the very front eagerly asked the questions they had prepared in advance.
Bai Fu knew well the two questions that mattered most to the Star Network People. She had done her homework before disembarking from the spaceship: firstly, was she really from the Dark Domain, and secondly, what was her sense of identity with the Star Network, especially with the latter question.
After the news of the Secret Tower being attacked by the united fleet spread, the Star Network People excitedly praised the Star Network all over the internet, causing some discomfort to people from other civilizations.
Bullshit.
True, the Star Network's performance this time was not bad, but wasn't it Bai Fu, who comes from the Dark Domain, who was mainly responsible for exposing the Secret Tower? What does it have to do with you, Star Network?
This rebuttal frustrated the Star Network People. They wanted to retort but weren't sure how to, since Bai Fu indeed wasn't nurtured by the Star Network, and she had never publicly expressed her affection for the Star Network.
Bai Fu was taking this interview precisely to clarify these two doubts for the Star Network People.
"I indeed come from the Dark Domain, from a planet called Ancestral Origin Star…"
She repeated what she had previously told Fei Ye, but this time she chose to start high and end low. She first raved about how beautiful Ancestral Origin Star once was, then described how dreadful it had become after being polluted by Spiritual Energy, and at the end, she showed [a resolute gaze].
"I believe, with the joint efforts of myself and all the people from Ancestral Origin Star, Ancestral Origin Star will definitely return to its former beauty, just like those Star Network planets that were invaded by the Flood Disaster!"
In the end, she purposely contrasted the Star Network with Ancestral Origin Star, subtly praising the Star Network, an approach that immediately made the people around her feel much more favorable.
In fact, Bai Fu was just laying the groundwork for what she was about to say next.
