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

When Foster had received the news that a Star Network Fleet had appeared, he was so angry he felt like his hair could stand on end.

To chase down the members of the Blessing Sect, he had already spent three hours, and the troublesome part was that even though he had forced the members of the Blessing Sect into a dead end, he still couldn't capture them alive.

The Blessing Sect was a native force of the Sea Lion Star System, only slightly stronger in power than the Stone Crystal Company, which belonged to the Secret Tower, but not by much, because, like the Stone Crystal Company, the Blessing Sect didn't have a Catastrophe Level power.

That was Foster's initial understanding of the Blessing Sect, but now he realized he was wrong—

The Stone Crystal Company was nothing compared to the Blessing Sect!

Although he didn't know what specific method was used, Elon, the Saint Heir of the Blessing Sect, suddenly erupted with the power of an S+ Superpower User, and luckily for him, his will was resolute, or else he would have been brainwashed by Elon's Blessing illusion.

Foster's eyes were blood-red.

As the commander of a fleet under the Secret Tower, when had he ever felt so suffocated?

To be honest, although Elon had suddenly erupted in power, he was merely an S+ Superpower User, in a normal confrontation, not to mention one S+ Superpower User, even a few more his fleet could easily blast into pieces.

Don't underestimate the power of technology, only those who are no longer humanly Catastrophic or above could truly make him feel fear!

However, the mission given to him by the Housekeeper was to seize the True Spirit Pillar, not to kill people, so he couldn't rely on battleships, he could only rely on his own hands.

Fight?

Shouldn't these kinds of missions be given to Cecilia, that Monster?

"Foster Commander, if we don't leave now, we might get surrounded by the Star Network's fleet."

Someone next to him urged.

Foster's face turned livid, and he shouted at Elon and Suixi in the distance, "Keep the item with you for now, next time you won't be so lucky!"

After throwing down his fierce words, he immediately led all those around him to retreat.

One by one, flying vehicles soared into the clouds, quickly returning to the spaceship hanging high above, and upon entering the cockpit, Foster immediately inquired about Bai Fu's condition.

The mission had failed, he was bound to be scolded by the Housekeeper, so he could only kill Bai Fu to ease his inner irritation a bit.

"Bai Fu...," one of the captains scratched his head and briefly recounted what had just happened, "Because there were just too many, we couldn't..."

Damn it!

Attempting to relax his mind, Foster became even more enraged after hearing these words.

Bai Fu, Bai Fu, Bai Fu!

He slammed his fist on the nearby console and immediately contacted Cecilia.

"The Housekeeper told you to deal with Bai Fu, is this how you handle her? Aren't you good at exploiting people, then go exploit her!"

He didn't care and started with a barrage of scolding, then continued to throw fierce words at Cecilia.

"Next time, I don't care what method you use, whether you kill her or imprison her, or even use your powers to make her unable to step on the ground, you better make sure she never appears in my sight again!"

Cecilia's brows were tightly furrowed, but she did not retort back at Foster.

Foster was an "old man" of the Secret Tower, with a large network and deep connections, while she was just a "monster," shunned by nearly everyone except a few higher-ups, and starting a dispute with Foster would only worsen her situation in the Secret Tower.

However, she couldn't help but clench her fist.

[Exploitation, you say exploitation as if Bai Fu and I are close buddies]

If she drained Bai Fu's life force, causing Bai Fu to be spiritless and physically depleted, it likely wouldn't take long before she would be found out, then how would she recoup the source.

Cecilia merely nodded silently at Foster, but she had already noted Foster down in her mental notebook of grievances.

If one day she completely became a monster, then she would definitely kill all these people in her notebook at the first opportunity!

Not long after ending the conversation with Foster, Cecilia received a message from the Ulyssians—

Ulysses Star was attacked, the situation was urgent, better go hide!

Go hide?

This was the attack she had meticulously planned!

Now, it was time for her to come forward and show herself; she planned to use this chance to greatly boost her affinity with the Ulyssians, Fei Ye, and Bai Fu, and then successfully infiltrate Bai Fu's small team. As long as she could get Bai Fu's affinity, she could manipulate Bai Fu however she wanted later.

...

About ten minutes after the Secret Tower's fleet retreated, the Star Network's fleet appeared in the sky.

Leading the team this time was Bai Fu's old acquaintance, Manu. Upon discovering that the Secret Tower's fleet had already fled, Manu didn't continue to pursue aggressively. He sent people to pick up Bai Fu, the surviving players, and members of the Blessing Sect onto the spaceship, and then immediately organized the fleet to return.

The cosmic environment around the Constant Star Graveyard was extremely complicated. A hard chase might accidentally fall into a Secret Tower's ambush. The power of the Star Network was already much weaker than the Secret Tower; if they encountered an ambush and this fleet was destroyed, the gap in power between the two sides would only grow larger.

"What did you guys do for the Secret Tower to even send a whole fleet to hunt you down?" Manu asked puzzledly.

Elon felt he couldn't conceal the real situation, therefore he said, "Because of the True Spirit Pillar."

Manu was stunned for a moment. "The True Spirit Pillar?"

"Yes!"

Bai Fu nodded, her face stern.

This was a good opportunity to pin the blame on the Secret Tower. How could she miss it?

"I accepted a commission from the Blessing Sect to help them find someone. After finding that person, we followed clues all the way here and unexpectedly discovered people from the Secret Tower here. After questioning the captives from the Secret Tower, we learned that the True Spirit Pillar, which disappeared a hundred years ago, ended up in the hands of the Secret Tower. We are still unsure what the Secret Tower is doing with the True Spirit Pillar, but they definitely don't mean well!"
