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

Every team of Players was further divided into many combat squads, each commanded by Players like Patrick and Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi, whom Bai Fu had brought from Ancestral Origin Star.

Their average combat power was much higher than that of other Players. They had participated in the Heavenly Lake Star war and possessed abundant experience fighting against the Dark Domain Insect Clan. With them leading the battles, the Players of Golden Valley Star were convinced, since they wouldn't compete for the slots to advance to the Star Sea anyway.

When the Players struck out from all directions, the NPCs of Golden Valley Star also began to act following their initial shock. Golden Valley Star belonged to the Players of Golden Valley Star, but it was their Golden Valley Star as well; they had to do something.

If they couldn't compete on the frontline, then they might as well handle logistics—weapons, ammunition, not worrying whether they could inflict damage on those insects; they'd just prepare first.

At Bai Fu's command, the entire Golden Valley Star swiftly transitioned into a war state.

At this moment, she wasn't a Queen, but she surpassed one.

Countless people murmured her name; many people of Golden Valley Star no longer prayed to the gods, instead praying to her.

"We must win, white-haired big sister!"

Bai Fu looked up calmly, gazing at the temporarily peaceful night sky.

She believed that the people of the Secret Tower in the starry sky must have noticed the changes on the ground by now.

...

Indeed, Foster had noticed.

Initially, he was excited that the over a hundred Cooling Insect Nests he had deployed had all landed safely without any mishaps, which seemed like a good omen.

As he saw Players gathering in groups near the Cooling Insect Nests, he grew even more thrilled.

"Here they come, here they come. This fearless fighting style, this abnormal behavior of smiling even when close to death, they're Undying People. Golden Valley Star truly has a large number of Undying People!"

Foster roughly estimated that there were at least a thousand Undying People appearing on the big screen.

There were a thousand here; the possibility of there being several thousand or even tens of thousands of Undying People on the entire Golden Valley Star was increasingly likely.

"Inform the Brain Worm, tell those insects below not to rush to kill the Undying People blocking the way. If we kill them upfront, who knows where they might resurrect—it's too troublesome to capture them one by one."

"Yes!"

The Brain Worm quickly relayed the order.

Foster looked at the Players being driven all over the place on the big screen, his face glowing.

What he saw wasn't the fleeing figures of the Players, but his future of promotion and salary increase. What he heard wasn't the screams of the Players, but the voice of the Housekeeper praising him.

As time passed, as the number of Players appearing on the big screen continued to increase, Foster's smile grew wider.

"Two thousand!"

"Five thousand!"

"Ten thousand!"

"Damn, it seems I've underestimated. Golden Valley Star might have twenty to thirty thousand Undying People!"

Foster's eyes sparkled.

He totally won!

This time, he really had to thank Bai Fu. Without Bai Fu, that Undying Person named [Fengyou Essence] wouldn't have sent an ultra-distance distress signal. Without intercepting this signal, they wouldn't have found Golden Valley Star or known where it was. Without that information, he couldn't capture the Undying People of Golden Valley Star. And without capturing Undying People, just competing with those ruffians from the Initial Gate Star System, who knows how long it would take to accumulate enough merits for promotion.

The Housekeeper said they had created Bai Fu's current high value, but Bai Fu was an honest person, wasn't she starting to repay their kindness now?

Quick, say thank you to Sister Fu!

Thank you, Sister Fu!

The others on the spaceship were also sincerely grateful to Bai Fu now; if this operation succeeded, they, too, could get promotions and raises.

"Commander Foster, when do we start the capture operation?"

"Wait a bit longer, no rush, they can't get away." Foster smiled confidently.

But with this wait, the situation started to change a bit.

What, how are these Undying People still emerging?

Thirty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand… it should be over by now... damn, how many Undying People are lurking in this hellish place!

Foster could no longer smile.

He saw the players luring the enemy deeper into their territory and ambushing them halfway, ultimately annihilating all the insects born in a cooling insect nest through a pincer attack from both the front and the back.

He had thought that was the limit of the players, but he soon realized that it was just the beginning.

Because the players kept pushing outward!

From fifty thousand to one hundred thousand, from one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand, seemingly endless.

The Dark Domain Insects he had deployed were formidable, but when faced with players whose average combat power was comparable to a novice B-level superpower user and who were fearless, these Dark Domain Insects were simply no match.

A charge of the Insect Tide?

The players countered with a tide of their own!

Surrounded by a large number of Dark Domain Insects, and the insects sharpening their mandibles, preparing for a feast?

Hey, don't rush, eat my human bomb first!

Insects can fly, and also burrow?

Joke, do you think our superpowers and the tools we just bought from Fufu are just for show?

Foster had deployed cooling insect nests to other planets more than once, creating a frenzy on each planet, but this time...

Frenzy?

[We Undying People are going to see how you rave today!]

Those Dark Domain Insects deployed in the wilderness hadn't even had the chance to see an NPC before they were urgently slain by the arriving players.

Those insects luckily deployed near populated areas did not fare any better. These were the areas Bai Fu was focused on defending; as soon as Dark Domain Insects were spotted, she would immediately deploy a large number of carrier planes to airdrop players.

The flood disaster that Foster had pinned his hopes on did not cause any significant damage on Golden Valley Star, as it was easily quelled by the players.

"Can it even be like this?"

Foster was astounded.

Manu and others were also astonished. Although the flood disaster on Golden Valley Star was much smaller than that on Heavenly Lake Star, it was absurd how easily it was eradicated.

It was their first time witnessing the terrifying nature of the players and realizing the immense value of players.

Oh right, Bai Fu's value as well.

Bai Fu commanding so many Undying, her value was immeasurable!

Manu became excited; the Star Network Community had stumbled upon a treasure.

Unlike the excited Manu, Foster was about to burst at this moment.

What the hell, why are there so many Undying on Golden Valley Star?

A terrifying thought suddenly crossed his mind; could it be possible that the entire Golden Valley Star was inhabited by Undying?

If that were true...

Foster's scalp tingled, as there were probably a billion people living on Golden Valley Star.

"I get it, I completely get it now; this is a trap. This is a trap set by Bai Fu. She deliberately made the Undying on Golden Valley Star send out an ultra-long-distance signal, making us believe we found her weakness, and we excitedly drove our spaceship here. In fact, we've jumped into a pit she dug. Such a cunning woman, I actually thought she was an honest person just now!"

Foster's breathing was extremely heavy.

Since Bai Fu had set such a trap, it was impossible to just let them leave easily. Running away directly might lead to intercept halfway and a painful defeat, possibly even annihilation.

It seems there's only one way to survive now—

Advancing towards death!

"Damn it, Bai Fu, no matter how many Undying you command, as long as we capture you and take you as a hostage, we can still win this fight!"

Foster gritted his teeth and immediately issued the command for a total assault.

Invade Golden Valley Star, capture Bai Fu!
