When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 172: The value of 78 players, strengthened for the second time [4k]
The Chairman of the Truth Society almost fainted from anger.
He had been battling the Genetic Primordial for two or three decades now, and although he had suffered some minor losses during this time, he had never been played by the Genetic Primordial like this before.
He could have borne it if he hadn't released the news, but before this, he had already been boasting far and wide that Bai Fu was dead, only for Bai Fu to pop up and slap his face while he was still making the announcement.
If cursing someone in effigy worked, the Chairman would have wished he could turn Bai Fu and the Genetic Primordial into porcupines with needles!
Bai Fu and the Genetic Primordial's move was like suddenly smearing a handful of Oreo cream on the opponent's face during a life-or-death brawl.
It's true there wasn't much physical damage, but it was damn disgusting, the kind of disgusting that would last a lifetime.
"Damn it!"
The Chairman was burning with rage.
Bernardo stood beside him, trembling, "Chairman, should I send someone to hunt down Bai Fu immediately?"
The Chairman clenched his right fist tightly, "Raise Bai Fu's bounty directly to 3 million, this figure should be enough to motivate an S-rank assassin to do the job. As for us..."
He had now thought it through clear.
At any time, one must distinguish between primary and secondary tasks.
Both Bai Fu and the Genetic Primordial were detestable, but the most hateful was the Genetic Primordial because they were the ones orchestrating everything behind the scenes, with Bai Fu being merely an executor. If they focused solely on Bai Fu, the executor, they would be playing right into the Genetic Primordial's hands.
"Those old buggers at Genetic Primordial are really good at plotting, they couldn't find us, so they deliberately threw out bait to trouble us."
A cruel smile appeared on the Chairman's face.
Unfortunately, those old fogeys, no matter how well they calculated, couldn't figure out his true identity.
In front of absolute power, all schemes were meaningless, and as luck would have it, he was about to have that absolute power soon!
"Convene a battle strategy meeting immediately!"
The Chairman decided that this grudge must not be swallowed easily; the Genetic Primordial had to be taught a lesson.
Under his command, the Truth Society began working at high speed, preparing for a retaliatory act against the Genetic Primordial.
At the same time, the outside world was in an uproar over the news of Bai Fu's "death and resurrection."
In the community, well-informed players eagerly shared the intelligence they had just received.
[What the heck, wasn't Fufu dead? How did she resurrect on the spot?]
[I heard it was Rattlesnake who unilaterally released the news that Bai Fu was dead, now the Truth Society is thoroughly embarrassed.]
[Damn Rattlesnake, you really scammed us, made me sad for so long.]
[I got the scoop, now the NPCs are saying that this was actually a trap set by Fufu, Rattlesnake, and the Genetic Primordial together, just to screw with the Truth Society.]
[So, the previous fallout between Bai Fu and the Genetic Primordial was just an act?]
[Seems like it, lots of NPCs are saying that Fufu is actually the Ace Agent of the Genetic Primordial, and she has been acting all along since the Abandoned Cooling Factory.]
[Err, is it true or not that Fufu and An Ya said they were Cosmic People?]
[Who knows, I'm totally confused now, let's see what the Genetic Primordial has to say, why are these NPCs so cunning?]
[It must be true, Fufu could never be a bad woman!]
[I love bad women!]
While players were arguing incessantly, many forces were also trying to get information about Bai Fu's true identity from the Genetic Primordial.
"We heard that Bai Fu is an Ace Agent cultivated by the Genetic Primordial, is this true?"
The members of the Genetic Primordial who were asked, were all baffled.
What, wasn't Bai Fu the fugitive with a bounty by the Genetic Primordial? When did she become an Ace Agent? How can you guys build such wild stories?
The news spread from level to level until it reached the ears of that General who had ordered to kill Bai Fu.
"General..."
"..."
The General was certain that Bai Fu was not the Genetic Primordial's Ace Agent, but to outright deny it would mostly not be believed by outsiders, and actually, denying it would also seem quite embarrassing.
Bai Fu alone had stirred up the Truth Society, so what were you Genetic Primordial doing? Didn't have the power but still wanted to drive away the capable one, right?
After some discussion, the Genetic Primordial decided to play dead.
Neither confirm nor deny, and just let those outsiders guess slowly.
After all, they weren't losing anything, in this struggle, the only one hurt was the Truth Society; they just had to enjoy the results brought by Bai Fu.
...
Bai Fu switched off her personal terminal.
The bounty on the Dark Web from the Truth Society for her had risen to 3 million, from 800,000 to 3 million, which was quite the leap.
But she didn't care, the Goli Desert was so large, even if the Truth Society wanted to retaliate, they wouldn't find her anytime soon, and she could now enjoy that 800,000 the Truth Society had sent her way.
She took out a small portion of the money to share with Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi and the others, the rest she planned to use most for building the base at Silent Court, a small portion for purchasing materials to make Prayer Cards.

To her, only the money spent mattered.
After tallying the money, Bai Fu reopened the task panel, and a new prompt popped up.
[You have completed the task [Little Julia's Request (1)], reward received: 100,000 Experience points]
She had found Graham's hiding place, and next, she would have to get from Graham the information on where those people used by the Truth Society to threaten Julia were held.
This was the content of the Little Julia's Request (2) task, with a reward of 150,000 Experience points, quite substantial.
