When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 295 - 123 Create Your Own Main Storyline, Become the Only True Main Character? [5.2k]_3
[You don't want NPCs calling you "Exploding Egg Knight" with a strained expression, do you?]
While the Players were enthusiastically discussing the new events at Silent Court, Bai Fu took the opportunity to name the two newly constructed buildings "Dark Moon Square" and "Youji Garden."
The names are a bit chuunibyou, but how can you play these adventure games without a dose of chuunibyou?
She had two purposes in doing so: firstly, to lead the players to believe she was the legendary Ghost Night Dominator by using Dark Moon and Youji; secondly, it was to promote herself.
Naturally, Bai Fu wanted fame and popularity for the good deeds she did.
She didn't just want to leave her name behind, she wanted to do it in creative ways.
Although she wasn't officially designated the game's poster girl, she could very well turn herself into the poster girl for Silent Court, and even for the whole Ancestral Origin Star.
Recently, worried that the Truth Society or Genetic Primordial might cause trouble, she had sent Old Nison and An Ya to Spiritual Ability Research Institute's Branch No. 2, which left An Ya's Mysterious Store temporarily vacant.
During the first few days of the 1.2 version, she randomly snatched an underling of Sean to manage the store, but now she had pulled that NPC out and replaced them with Little Bai Fu and Little Black Fu.
Although both were as brainless as Black Fu, just watching a store and preventing any player who thinks they're above the law from robbing it was still manageable.
Little Bai Fu was responsible for surveillance and armed intimidation, while Little Black Fu handled collecting money after players made payments and fetching the goods.
Besides, Bai Fu also formed a patrol team composed of two Little Black Fus and two Little Bai Fus, letting them patrol around the expanded Shelter No. 11 when they had nothing else to do.
Oh, wrong, Shelter No. 11 has also been renamed as Bai Fu Town.
Although these moves didn't become a community sensation, they did attract quite a bit of attention; many artists and UPs created derivative works featuring Little Bai Fu and Little Black Fu. For a moment, these two little True Spirits seemed to have a trend toward evolving into something like Hatsune Miku or dumb Fufu dolls.
Well, it's all Fufu, no problem!
Just when Bai Fu was immersed in earning Experience and popularity, she suddenly received a contact from Su Li.
"What's up?" Bai Fu asked.
Su Li shouted from the other end of the terminal: "Bai Fu, you must be a Charming Demon, and a Queen-level one at that! I swear, you seduced the Undying People here from hundreds of miles away!"
"?"
After some inquiries, Bai Fu understood that a few players who originally followed Su Li had run away, and their destination was Silent Court.
She spread her hands.
What can she do? She hadn't even exerted her full power yet; at this point, it was just like the Charming Demon lightly wagging its tail.
Su Li muttered in annoyance for a while: "Never mind that, I actually contacted you because there's something important. Since the sudden attack on Black Mountain City of the Old Republic, the actions of the Truth Society have become increasingly strange."
Attack on Black Mountain City?
Bai Fu pretended she hadn't heard a thing.
"How strange?"
Su Li explained: "We tried to send Undying People as spies to investigate the location of the Truth Society's hidden base. After two months, we finally made a little progress, but before we could act, the Truth Society made an emergency adjustment and evacuated everyone from the base. It's abnormal and definitely indicates something fishy. We all believe the Truth Society is planning something big."
"You're telling me this because you want to collaborate?"
"Exactly. I'm severely short of hands right now, and I'd like to hire a batch of Undying People from you."
"That's no problem at all; how many do you want? I can arrange them for you right away."
Bai Fu immediately agreed, maintaining a good relationship with the Railroad Guild was beneficial for her at the moment.
Su Li eventually had to leave with 200 players.
After ending the call with Su Li, Bai Fu furrowed her brows. Given the situation, it seemed that something big was about to happen on Ancestral Origin Star soon. The good news was that the basic outlines of her five strongholds were almost complete.
"Let's erect the monument," she thought. Once the monument was completed, players could set out to investigate the Truth Society and the Genetic Primordial, preparing to clear these two obstacles.
Bai Fu immediately sprang into action.
She chose a fine afternoon, and in front of all the players, she pulled the cloth off the huge stone stele.
After previously naming the newly built roads and buildings with the names of her followers, most of the players had already guessed what the giant stele in Dark Moon Square was for. But when the stele was finally unveiled, and they saw the words on it, watched Bai Fu making an impassioned speech in the center of the square, and heard the cheers from the NPCs around, they still felt an incredible thrill.
Positive feedback, oh positive feedback! To keep players continuously engaged, isn't sustained positive feedback exactly what a game needs?
Even though it's all working and toiling, toiling in Silent Court is a hundred times better than toiling in other camps!
Digging Girl gave Bai Fu a vigorous round of applause.
"Everyone, stop rushing me," she announced. "At the latest, I'll churn out the third edition of the Silent Court News Express the day after tomorrow."
Digging Girl was almost driven crazy by the players in the livestream urging her on, not to mention several players standing next to her urging for more updates.
Fortunately, she had already completed half of the video beforehand. Otherwise, she really feared that the players would lock her in a dark room, forcing her to work overtime on the video.
"This time, I'll include an exclusive interview with Fufu. Everyone, please look forward to it!"
Digging Girl took a few more pictures of Bai Fu; at that moment, she suddenly noticed something off in the photos.
"What's this?"
She quickly zoomed in on the photo and saw a stranger in the upper left corner, staring at Bai Fu with a sinister look.
Something was not right!
Digging Girl's pupils dilated, and she yelled towards Bai Fu, "Assassin!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Her shout reverberated across the whole square.
"Draw swords!"
"Run!"
"Stop that assassin!"
The assassin, hiding in the shadows and now exposed, dropped his disguise. He raised his sniper rifle and pulled the trigger.
No trace of agitation was visible on Bai Fu's face; in fact, she had noticed the assassin long before. Her fully enhanced Spiritual Ability Perception covered an area of a whole 100 meters— even an ant couldn't escape her detection. She hadn't acted immediately because she was just then controlling Black Fu and Little Black Bai Fu to guard key locations in Bai Fu Town.
She was unsure if this was the only assassin, so she needed to make the necessary preparations.
Now that Digging Girl had exposed the assassin's presence, there was no need for her to continue pretending.
Was it revenge from the Truth Society or some other force?
Whoever it was, now was a good time to let this assassin witness the full extent of her power as Complete Fu. She was certainly not a frail being who could be gunned down through the forehead and chest!
