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

Before Bai Fu appeared, even at the very moment she first showed up, Fleming was brimming with confidence in the fortress ship he was aboard.

But now he was shaken.

A monster with long-range capabilities so diverse they dazzled the eye, close combat bravery akin to a berserker, able to control the field like a mage, behead like an assassin, and tank ship cannons with its flesh was simply unbeatable.

Damn it!

Fleming felt as if his head were about to split open.

Everyone was out to accomplish tasks, to build a reputation—why the hell did he have to be the unlucky one to encounter Bai Fu?

Sigh, complaining any further was pointless now.

Blame his earlier doomsaying, talking about how everything would go smoothly as long as they didn't run into the likes of Bai Fu.

"Don't be scared, no matter how powerful Bai Fu is, she's still just one person. Continue with the plan, unless the enemy has reinforcements coming; it's impossible for Bai Fu to kill us all before our rear forces breach Lockheed!"

Fleming roared belligerently into the command channel.

Everyone: "..."

Was Bai Fu really just one person?

Let's not even mention the Black Fu, who looked exactly like her; surrounding her and Black Fu were also tens of thousands of summoned creatures.

However, everyone thought there was one thing Fleming got right.

Barring any surprises, the rear forces taking a detour would probably capture Lockheed within half an hour. Although large, Lockheed was still just an observatory station.

Half an hour, eh? No matter how strong Bai Fu was, she couldn't possibly wipe them all out within half an hour, could she?

"Fantastic, we still have a chance to survive!"

"Fleming, the commander, truly has a vision!"

Cheers echoed far and wide; morale, which had plummeted to rock bottom, mystically surged back.

Everyone was looking forward to the future—a future filled with great expectations.

As one of the people involved, Fleming felt this turn of events was a bit absurd, while Spiritual Mind Master Marlon, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, found it even more bizarre.

"Let's see how the enemy's morale is holding up!"

"Damn, what the hell is going on?"

Marlon was immediately struck with a "black guy question mark.jpg," and Steel Curtain, sharing his view, went straight into "subway elder phone.jpg."

No, dude, I'm stunned—do you guys even come here to fight?

Damn it, they're really losing face for the Tem Civilization!

While scoffing, Marlon and Steel Curtain shifted their gaze to the silhouette of Bai Fu.

Bai Fu's valor was such that they figured they wouldn't get any time in the spotlight this time.

But that wasn't necessarily all bad. If it wasn't Bai Fu accompanying them, but another Catastrophe Level, facing the sudden appearance of a fortress ship, they would probably have been in greater peril.

Anyway, fight on.

Now Fleming was all pumped up, not only did he send out all the Catastrophe Levels, but the battleship had also lifted fire safety restrictions and begun to output at an overclocked rate.

This could potentially damage the spaceship's cannons or hull, but in the face of Bai Fu, they couldn't afford to care about that.

Dense artillery fire continuously bombarded Bai Fu and her Spiritual Ability Army.

Since the start of the battle, Bai Fu finally felt the pressure.

"As expected of a spaceship from a major power. If the enemy were to send ten times the number of spaceships and add another two fortress ships, my losses would probably be severe."

Thanks to the rapid development of the companies under Silent Court, together with large investments from Origin Consortium and Initial Gate civilizations, Bai Fu could now truly be called a wealthy lady.

Even so, if her entire Legion was wiped out, she would still feel the sting.

Amidst the barrage of artillery, Bai Fu's expression grew somewhat solemn.

Today's events made her a bit more cautious; in case she ever got caught up in an interstellar battle involving tens of thousands, or even more, battleships, she must not foolishly charge forward for the limelight.

"Black Fu, take a Legion to intercept the spaceships coming our way; I'll go and deal with that fortress ship!"

In the starry sky, both sides were in fierce combat.

Fleming's side clearly had the advantage in numbers, but Bai Fu's arrival made up for this gap and even overcompensated.

After destroying fictional life forms, even without activating Spirit Blessing, Bai Fu's Inspiration surged to 5018 points.

This was thanks to the improvement of her basic attributes and the enhanced effect of her exclusive skill Ghost Night Resonance (Bai Fu).

Bai Fu darted through the starry space, surrounded by dozens of Flying Demon Blades spinning at high speed, like a gigantic cutter, shredding to pieces any shield that came close in just a second or two.

Crushing battles like this were exhilarating.

To Bai Fu's left and right, as well as behind her, waves of damage values fluttered like a raging fire—cheering for her descent and sounding the death knell for Fleming and the others.

Fear.

Trembling.

Fleming's heart was trembling.

Boom, boom, boom!

Spiritual Ability Army members, like sparrows, continuously rammed the fortress ship, and Bai Fu, finding gaps, would periodically unleash a Heavenly Burial or Spiritual Explosion.

One had to admit, a fortress ship was a fortress ship; its outer shields were wavering under attack but refused to fall. Its cannons, though unable to lock on to Bai Fu who often manifested in void form, would always inflict some losses on Bai Fu's Spiritual Ability Army.

Of course, such a situation could not last; there would always be a time when the shell was breached.

Fleming hadn't ventured out yet; he was waiting for a chance, rashly going out might get him killed by Bai Fu in an instant.

He wanted to wait until Bai Fu's Prayer Cards and Spiritual Energy were somewhat depleted, until news of Lockheed being attacked reached Bai Fu's ears before going out to share the fortress ship's burden. By then, the danger he'd face would be much lower.
