When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 145 - 70 Bai Fu: This is the joy of cheating! [6k]
After the battle of Bagalos, Bai Fu's figure temporarily disappeared from the players' sight.
But her departure did not diminish the discussion about her among players, instead, it drew even more attention to her.
This was thanks to the strong publicity from the Truth Society, the Genetic Primordial, and the Dark Web.
"800,000", "1,000,000", "Thrashing the Truth Society", "Counter killing the Genetic Primordial" - these phrases combined made Bai Fu instantly stand out on the Dark Web's bounty list, becoming the new super star of the Dark Web, not only at the edge of Goli Desert at Shelter No. 7, but also in other places with Dark Web strongholds where many people were talking about Bai Fu.
"Have you guys heard?"

"Yes, that Bai Fu!"
"Awesome, just so awesome!"
Lines like these always drifted inadvertently to some players' ears.
Those players who did not pay attention to the community and just focused on their own gaming might not care much about these words initially, but after hearing them repeatedly, they couldn't help but wonder.
Could this be some important plot clue? Maybe I should check it out.
When these players took action, Bai Fu's fame naturally became even more widespread.
The participation of these players made the discussions about Bai Fu in the community even more intense, with many speculating about her role in the various main storyline scenarios of Ancestral Origin Star.
Some players felt that the scenarios involving Bai Fu might be either hidden plot lines or main storylines.
Many other players discussed Bai Fu's conflicts with the Genetic Primordial and the Truth Society, especially focusing on the recently prominent issue of camp selection.
Although the game's official stance had intervened to explain that players could participate in the main storylines without joining any camps, and could still develop well even if not participating in main storylines, most players still felt that to better complete the game's main tasks, they needed to choose an appropriate camp to join.
The reasons were simple: joining a camp offered a fixed channel for promotion, triggered tasks with less difficulty, and included NPC support, making the initial experience far better than going it alone as a lone wolf.
Originally, many players born in the Genetic Primordial and its vicinity had planned to team up with Bai Fu, but now with Bai Fu falling out with the Genetic Primordial and disappearing, they had to consider what to do next. They couldn't just wait for Bai Fu, could they?
[I don't want to run around everywhere, I'll just join the Genetic Primordial nearby.]
[Fufu helped the Genetic Primordial so much, and not only did they not appreciate it, they even wanted to kill Fufu, damn it, I'm joining the Truth Society to go against the Genetic Primordial.]
While these players were discussing fervently and Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi and his hired internet army were also busy smearing the Truth Society, suddenly someone ran into the forum shouting.
[Big news, big news, Digging Girl has joined Bai Fu's camp!]
[???]
This shout attracted countless attentions.
Immediately, a massive number of players swarmed into the thread just posted by Digging Girl, who at that moment was proudly answering questions in the thread.
[Joining Fufu's camp wasn't as hard as I thought, I didn't really do much these past few days, just purely staying by Fufu's side, and then she suddenly asked me if I wanted to continue with her. Fufu said so much, how could I refuse? I said yes, and after that she gave me a badge and a Profession Knowledge Book.]
Damn, she got geared up!
The influx of players turned red-eyed.
Sharp-eyed players noticed that Digging Girl's level had increased by one since running off, both upgrading and receiving a Knowledge Book. Joining a camp? It clearly seemed like hiring a beautiful companion for the game, too awesome.
[Dig treasure, dig treasure, have you forgotten the times we fought side by side? Tell me where you are, I definitely won't tell anyone else.]
[I want it too, dig treasure, I'm your decade old fan!]
Many players tagged Digging Girl on the forum, and she received numerous private messages.
[It's not that I don't want to tell you guys, you know, recently Fufu was wanted by both the Truth Society and the Genetic Primordial, it's inconvenient to expose her whereabouts.]
[Okay okay, I'll ask Fufu, let's see what Fufu says.]
After being bombarded with private messages, Digging Girl could only turn to look at Bai Fu beside her.
All this was within Bai Fu's expectations.
Just like Digging Girl's character who loves face-saving and showing off, after joining the Silent Court, if she didn't run to the community to show off, that would be really strange. And this was exactly what Bai Fu wanted to see.
Since she had decided to use the camps to bind players to her chariot, seeing players start discussing joining other camps, she definitely couldn't just watch. She had to do something because once she could announce her location, there might not be many players left to choose from.
She invited Digging Girl to join the Silent Court as a way to attract players' attention, convincing the players not to rush into other camps.
— Everyone, don't rush to join other camps, I've got another camp here for you to choose from!
But Bai Fu was also very clear that this level of publicity could only temporarily attract attention, and after some time, players would start considering other camps again.
To maintain the buzz, she needed to continuously create new hot topics to catch the players' eyes.
About this, she had already planned what to do, which was to make Digging Girl a role model
— See how strong Digging Girl has become following me, those of you who think you're better than Digging Girl, aren't you hurrying over here to strike it rich?
